2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
@Kcmatt7 right! And surely there is talent there.
-
They have fan support of a Top 5-6 ACC team from that era so your right, if you build it they will come. However building it has been a major issue. Capel had some momentum but its stalled in a major way and looks like its headed even further down. Their recruiting/transfer ability has been abysmal with Capel known as the bag guy when he was at Duke

That’s why I say that after this season he’ll probably be gone.
-
Certainly seems like he’s on the hot seat. If his leading scorer leaves, who’s a Soph I think that seals its
-
So, I’m taking bets, I say that Coach K retires after this season. If he does, who’ll take over the Duke program and what will become of it?
-
@Marco I thought Jeff Capel was supposed to be the next Duke coach. He might be available.

Thats what I’ve been hearing a lot also. - -I think he was an assistant under K for some years after he Graduated if I’m not mistaking
-
@jayballer67 that’s not going to happen imo

-
Transfer portal approaching 250, going to be a record season for free agency
-
Any good PG prospects?
-
So far there isn’t a “must go after” one that’s hit. Some have pleaded for the Pittsburgh PG Johnson but he has his issues. The next month will be fun to watch how many hit the portal.
-
If we don’t go after Johnson, I’m worried a better option may not come.
At the same time - you have to ask the question if he is really that much more of a positive on the court than just playing Harris. If you don’t think he is much of an upgrade (stats with Johnson are definitely misleading) than I get why we aren’t pressing hard.
I want Johnson though. He is a high level athlete and I think Bill could probably get more out of him than Capel. Turnovers and shot selection are an issue, but we just do not have anyone on our roster that can go fetch a bucket the way Johnson can. He is a playmaker on the floor.
At the same time, the staff probably pays good money to have sources with ears to the ground about who they think ends up shaking loose. They may have a target in mind already.

Seems like a guy who you’d want on your team… I think he may be back at Columbia, but maybe not.

I’d be a taker if we had no other options. We’ll have Harris back and I like him, but we need another guy also who can and will take shots.

I don’t know let me ask you this. Do we REALLY need a PG next Season ? I mean is it an absolute must ? The reason I ask is I just wonder we the PT DeJuan is getting and or experience , I think actually if he has or will grown from experience wise this Season and off Seasoning Conditioning knowing the system even better , I just don’t think it’s a must need for us do you ? I think if Harris could work well enough to be able to run the team distribute the ball , were going to have enough Scoreres on the offensive end w ith what we will return and what’s coming in - -I realize no PG coming in but - we know Harris is going to be another Marcus before it;s said and done on the defensive end , already disruptive- -I could be wrong , for me I just don’t think it’s a 5 alarm bell if we don’t land that PG. Seems like we got one in the fold right here - - -right now has shown enough at times this year. I think with this years experience he has gotten little man would work fine.
Bryce could even probably spot fill in when Harris is resting, Bryce has played that a tad bit this year right ? - I’m not saying your one that has said we have to have that Pg , I’m more asking you - - your opinion in question form - -do you think we do ?
-
My concerns with Johnson are the fouls and shot selection. There’s a concern he’s a bit of a red flag… His coach certainly put him on blast and then he left shortly after. He was benched for bad on the court behavior… Not the best look tbh. This is one you tred carefully with. Maybe he just really needs a fresh scene. I like the fit for KU but I’m worried.

Good metrics, seems like a quality shooter
-
Absolutely this team needs a PG.
Harris has had his moments this season but he needs more development before we rely on him 30 minutes a game. The better question is, without getting a PG who’s his backup. That’s even scarier.
-
The smallest player in D-1 Darnell Rogers (5’2) is transferring from UMBC. Kid had a feature on Gameday over the weekend, has a following.

He is a real target.

Harris is best as a back-up imo.

@BShark would take
-
Storm is a very good shooter. Haven’t seen him this yr but from what I remember, not a great athlete below the rim type guy but certainly knows how to run a team.
-
Hes absolutely the type of shooter that this team needs. 2.9 made 3s a game. He’s a really gifted shooter
-
Another year of development and I think its worth the discussion if he can start here. But it all comes down to him becoming a 100% more aggressive and gifted offensive player. His defense, his passing, his IQ are all good enough but if he doesn’t find a way to score its just hard to see him having an expanded role
-
@BShark Probably a VT lean. Strong connection there with the Coach being the old Wofford coach.

Portal gained 40-50 names yesterday.
One to note
Greg Parham, PG, VMI- 18.4 ppg, 4 ast, 43% 3pt%
6’4, 64 made 3’s on 48% FG%.
Twelve 20 points games this year including a stretch of 7 straight.
I think this one ends up at a big school…

Dang buddy he sound like he would be a really good get for someone , you would think out of all these transfers surely would could get ONE, and this one would be a great one fill that PG spot we need
-
I think he’s the best one that’s entered the portal so far. His film is nice
-
There is no way with all of these transfers entering the portal this year that we aren’t able to nab one of them.

I hear ya buddy, that’s what I’m talking about too. - -I mean ya the cloud of the pending NCAA crap has hurt but yet surely out of all these kids. IF we really want a quality player , out of ALL THESE GUYS you mean to tell me that there is NOT ONE that would want to come and get the chance to play for one of the most historic Blue Bloods that has some of the greatest fans and tradition? - If that’s the case someone is not doing their job

Wow. Dead eye shooter.

Probably not KU level but PG Stef Smith of UVM hit the portal today. Really solid performer for them for 4 years. Good shooter (42% from 3 as a Jr), numbers dipped a bit this year with their shortened season. Tough kid should end up a decent school
-
Transfer market approaching 400
-
KU hasn’t reached out to Justin Powell. 20+ have
-
@BeddieKU23 No point wasting time on that one imo

Hit the portal just today, so I’m not quite sure. I hope they reach out.
