We have two because Ochai is gooooone.
you sound really Confident that he is
-
Has then anymore about the possibility of Bishop ?

I get that guys go pro for different reasons, but there is not one reputable draft expert that has Ochai even getting drafted. Chad Ford just released his top 65 prospects and he nor Wilson were listed. It just seems insane to me that he is going to go to the combine ( if he gets invited) and be told he will not be drafted and keep his name in.
-
@Woodrow Yeah I know and I’d rather have him back but I’ve been told to expect that Ochai will leave and Jalen will be back. Will be interesting to see how things shake out.

@RockkChalkk said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
I hear you. But to be fair, playing Garrett isn’t the reason we didn’t have scoring. There wasn’t another option on the roster. This year’s team was missing a lot of pieces. Its just hard to keep up when you see the rest of the team getting knocked for their (lack of) defense - i.e. Wilson, but are also presumably happy to see a defensive player of the year caliber starter move on.
I like to call last year’s roster “oops all wings”.
Nice. I’d like to call them “not-so-spicy-wings” or “I’ve had better wings.”
Or maybe “All wings, no flight”.

KU has reached out to Marcus Williams
-
-
It’s Shay so TIFWIW
-
@BShark I don’t want someone who progressively got worse every season. Collins is an offensive black hole at the mid major level and would be a waste of a scholarship at KU.
Collins is a high volume shooter who can’t shoot and KU can doicj better than David Collins.

If Ochai gets the feedback that he likely wouldn’t improve his draft stock coming back, like what happened with Selden after his junior year, then Ochai leaving is the right decision.

Bishop released a top 3 of Kansas, UNC and Texas.
@FarmerJayhawk are you hearing anything?

He will be announcing on Saturday

Gut says Texas. There’s significant pressure from his circle to stay home though.
-
I really don’t see Christian Bishop being a good fit on KU next season. He’d likely be a 4 instead of a 5 here, but he’s got no outside game and would have to play near the basket next to McCormack and we’ve seen how much the offense struggled when Doke was the other big with Dave and Bishop is nowhere near Doke.
Christian Bishop is a very good player, but I just don’t see Kansas being the place where he’d be able to excel and think he would actuallake the offense worse. You have to have a 4 that can stretch the floor playing next to Save and that’s not Bishop.
Defensively, Bishop is a huge upgrade over Wilson and Clemence so he makes sense on that end of the floor, but I think the offense suffers too much to overcome his defense.
-
KU is saying he’d be Jalen’s backup. He could play beside Martin or at the 5 but I agree with Tex, can’t play Bishop and Dave together.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah Bossi backed this up on 247. Which makes it sound like Jalen should be back…
-
It sure would be nice to return 1 starter, is that too much to ask?
-
@BShark Did Bossi say what he was hearing on Bishop?
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

You mean like Braun and McCormack that are for sure returning and McCormack that will for sure be starting next season?
-
@Woodrow said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

There’s a whole lot of “it’s probably Kansas” but this whole thing has a weird feel to it. Like @Texas-Hawk-10 and others have mentioned it’s not a great fit but if he loves KU enough to come here and be a bench piece that’s pretty cool.
@BeddieKU23 I’m still skeptical personally given the interest in Collins but apparently Ochai is somewhat likely to come back according to Chasen and Bossi. Sounds like we won’t see a decision on that or Garrett (though Garrett is very likely gone) for awhile yet.

Meanwhile Duke took a transfer from Davidson that avg 2ppg last season

I mean they were clearly desperate when they offered Cuffe’s friend.
-
@BeddieKU23 All signs point to returning 4 starters… One moving to the bench though.
-
That would be great if it happens.
-
Blakes isn’t bad at all but agree they are scrambling
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

He’s not a bad player but we are talking about Duke here. Thought he would end up in the Big East or possibly a lower level ACC school.

They did take Goldwire who was like a #300 ranked recruit. Blakes is considerably better then him coming in, if he goes there. But yeah not used to seeing it
-
@BeddieKU23 We saw what happened with Goldwire lol. Duke is great at retaining bench guys like that though.

@BeddieKU23
maybe they’re finally figuring it out!
-
Theo John Forward of Marquette going to Duke
-
Fulkerson returning to Tennessee. That team looks pretty good for next season.
-
Not surprised, ended the year injured
-
Big time scorer in the portal. Sun-Belt POY DeVante Jones. Averaged 19 and 7 boards, 2.9 ast, 2.8 steals & 37% from 3. Um Bill, this guy can do it all
-
@BeddieKU23 The only concern is their sos which was basically dead last in the country, 322nd.

True, tape is good, the kind of guy you don’t want to face at the Y

Ok, so I guess Saturday now becomes an interesting day for Ku Basketball & fans. - -Bishop of Creighton , - So people here does he commit to KU ? or not. - -I think we stand a better then 50/50 more like I think about a 70 % chance. I also feel he could end up at UNC very easily. So what’s your take ?
Then after Saturday IF he does commit to KU , does this put an end to this wild and really crazy year for KU ? - this transferring has been just insane. After this are we through ? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I think Bishop ends up elsewhere but I would prefer he end up a Hawk personally.
I don’t think we are done either way with the roster
-
One thing for sure about this whacky off season with this new Transfer rule - - sure has kept things lively and exciting , different for sure , something/new news almost daily.
Don’t you get the sense with like take if we were to land Bishop for example , don’t you think that just says more and more Ochai not returning ? maybe not the same position player but yet at times they would be, at first I thought there is no way Ochai would leave - -now not so much. Every day I have just started thinking - - - he gone yet another player going over sea’s picking up some green , he sure is not NBA ready

Alphonso Plummer released his top 5, no KU.
Illinois, Florida, Georgia, and Texas Tech
Will announce on Saturday

Makes sense. Staff likes Collins a lot.
-
@RockkChalkk because if he comes back Bill will play him, regardless of else we have on the team. He is not a point guard, nor is he a two or a wing - he is a great defender, but that’s not enough. He is a player that really doesn’t have a true position, and that fact is not due to him being a prolific player at every position but because he really doesn’t do a great job at any one of them.

They may need bigs but for sure not at the 5. - -they may want to play him there but he hates the 5 he has been reported, not sure with the new Coach of Davis if that changes things for him or not

what I’m hearing though he can’t shoot a lick, maybe that’s why the staff likes him so much lol

If Garrett wants to come back I think he’s earned that right. If he does, I would like to see him try to be effective on offense without being so ball-dominant. It might be hard to resist Marcus being the primary ball-handler in tight games, though. He was 34.8% from 3 and 80.8% from the line this season (up from 30.2% and 63.5% career), so I think he could play more off the ball, especially if he keeps improving his shooting.
-
@BShark y tho?
At least get a guy who can shoot the ball. Yesufu about the only proven shooter on next season’s team
