2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
@Crimsonorblue22 famous last words
-
I like Harris! I got pretty frustrated w/CB, still like him. Just thought Harris gave us more.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 probably the case when Harris was the only PG. But CB the super sub will be a great piece to have.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 no doubt Harris was the better player the second half of the season. I think CB was trying to do too much offensively and got out of sorts. Could see him much improved playing with gaurds that can get to the paint off the bounce. Shoot the three and crash the offensive glass. But yeah, I like Harris too but he deserves more minutes than it looks like he may get
-
Braun was better by any metric. Like @Kcmatt7 said he looked good because we hardly had any guards and wings that could not create.
-
This post is deleted!
-
@BShark Yep. On a normal Self team Harris never sees the floor and in all honestly is probably never recruited by Bill.

Bryce Thompson in the portal. SMH

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Portal probably will hit 1400 before end of week.
Some big movement again.
As mentioned Walker Kessler to Auburn, surprising since the hot rumor was Gonzaga but Pearly boy still knows how to drop a bag in time of need.
Boogie Ellis to USC
Former USC Noah Baumann to Georgia
Matt Bradley to San Diego St- big pickup for them. There was a lot of chatter KU would pursue.
Virginia picks up East Carolina stud Jayden Gardner
Damion Baugh goes from Memphis to TCU
Liam Robbins to Vandy, big 7 footer was at Minnesota.
Phlandrous Fleming, Jr. to Florida, avg 20 ppg.
A bag of what? lol – A bag of money ? - - A dime Bag ? - - Both ? what lol

Thompson in the transfer ? - -Kind of figured on that myself to be honest, If it’s true here is a case where the kid probably thought he should be playing more - -this might just be the call for THAT BISHOP
-
Braun isn’t GOING ANYWHERE
-
a little surprised on bryce but not shocked. the injuries held him back and i dont think he’s in line for a lot more time next year. he needs to go somewhere he can start and develop and he might be a stud in a couple years. Self isnt going to waste time waiting for someone to develop
-
That sucks. I really think he could have had a breakout year next year. It will be interesting to see what Self does to fill these spots. I am guessing right now Bishop and TyTy are the top 2 options…

I think this opens the door for Bishop. - - Like has been posted , Ty, Ty, been offered by Kentucky - - -Good Night , so bring the Bishop down
-
Well that sucks
-
My guess is that Wilson, Och, and now Bryce are mad because they came to KU for cheap/free and are mad that KU is back to paying players. That’s my only guess. I thought Bryce was bleeding crimson and blue.
-
WOWW.
This one got me. Shocked. Vernon saying to Tulsa is a real possibility. As long as he doesn’t end up in the B12 because he’s gonna be good.

Thompson wants to go - - -then go. - - - UGLY , UGLY shot. question becomes is this a kid that wanted things handed to him just because he is a so called 5 * and not willing to put in the work/whole package ? - -if thats the case then glad to see him move on - -Going to be a whole new team next year but think it’s going still be a very good team. - -Some her have mentioned about the possibility of Harris - - could happen , I happen to like the little guy really good defender - - so now if Ochai or Wilson DOES decide to try and make it work for the NBA - -that would leave us with what at the moment 3 Scholi’s? Whole new team/roster
-
A bird in the hand…
-
I like Harris, think he’ll be solid. Surprised at the Thompson news, but it is what it is. Wow, going to be damn near a whole new team next season. How many returnees?
-
Garrett still may return fwiw.
Starting 5 could theoretically still remain unchanged…
As of now the only returners are the starting 5 minus Garrett. And then Harris and Mitch.
-
So we now have 3 scholarships open and that doesn’t change if Garrett returns or not.
-
I too am wondering/thinking with these transfers - - - -DOES Marcus return after all for the year? – Could happen
-
Are we anticipating losing scholarships as part of a potential punishment?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Not that I’m aware of. I think Bishop still comes. And I think they will find another high scoring guard to add to the team.

I just think this probably enhances the possibility of Bishop coming. , I don’t think there is a snowballs chance in hell we get TY TY though- -were still gonna be fine. -One thing for sure though is were going to have almost a whole new roster , if per chance either Ochai OR Jalen decides to ty and make the NBA work - - which neither one is close but IF they do then we up to 4 more Scholi’s
-
@Kcmatt7 Hope so. Sad to see Bryce go, I think he had a lot of potential. But ultimately he needs to do what’s best for him.

I mean technically four but I think Jalen will return.

Yeah I’m torn because I thought he had potential but honestly he sucked.
Wonder who we end up getting…
-
Just for my own brain:
- Yesfufu
- Harris
- Dave
- Ochai
- Braun
- Jalen
- Clemence
- Curry
- Adams
- Martin
- Pettiford
So 2 spots left unless you really believe Ochai is gone. Then you have 3.

I mean his numbers were horrific, there’s no getting around that. It’s hard to know how much those numbers were affected by a very not normal offseason and a midseason injury. He just needs to go somewhere where he can play a lot and work through his mistakes. Hopefully somewhere not in the B12 conference.
-
Was just reading Chasens article off TOS - - says KU has 6 new incoming so far for next Season plus these TWO open Scholi’s - - like I was saying whole new Roster. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
They really need to get the Marcus Garrett issue straightened out soon. Because they need to know if they can offer dudes a starting spot or not.
Right now between him and Ochai it is hard to find anything besides a bench piece. We got a high-end PG on the market because we had that spot available.
Same goes for that 2 and 3 spot. Bill needs to be able to show a clear path to PT or we aren’t getting anyone.

Sounds like it very easily could end up being Tulsa where he lands
-
With all these guys leaving - - new guys coming in - - Think this off Season work uts conditioning - - players getting tgether is going to be very important , probably one of the most important times in Coach Selfs time here. Players getting accquainted with one another as a team together.
I mean sure they know one another BUT as a team together here at KU – lots of new kids get that chemistry with one another - - we could Easily end up with EIGHT new players on this upcoming roster, practices once they open next fall is going to be very important getting these kids to fit in the right places learning the system.
I think we still have a pretty good chance to be a very good team - think we for sure will have more athletic team, this year it’s going to be even more important for Mitch - -Christian to step up show some leadership as returnee’s from this team help the others out any way they can. - -One thing these newbies is going to experience something they have not experienced before & that’s Coach Self’s Boot Camp - - in for a real treat lol
-
Devin Askew to Texas
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich will he crack their rotation? lol
-
I have no idea. His numbers were bad last season. He’ll have to improve a lot.
-
Yeah, weird take for Texas IMO.
-
Okie Lite for Bryce.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’ve seen nothing but Tulsa?
-
Charlie Moore in the portal
-
What a waste of recruiting efforts to see a kid leave after a yr. College Basketball is dead
-
We need to replace Snacks pretty badly. It was a bigger loss than people realize.
-
@Kcmatt7 its going to be hard to keep 13 good players on the roster. its just impossible to offer opportunity to that many players unless half of them are seniors. There is really not a big need to fill up 13 scholarships because a few of them will end up leaving anyway. it always amazes me how many recruits will continue to sign on with programs that dont really offer much opportunity and its crystal clear. The kid’s hearts are bigger than their brains.
-
@BShark patience
-
@FarmerJayhawk yeah just concerned about next year.
-
@BShark I feel pretty good about replacing Howard…
-
I don’t feel good about anything!

Sounds like Self wants to go the young recruiter route. Definitely what we need.
