2021 Transfer Talk/List
-
Or maybe not. I’m not sure the source was reliable. Sorry
-
-
Ah, thank you. Hoping this means good things for landing Bishop.
-
Made sense the UNC board had a scouting report of him
Manek was not the same player this yr. Hopefully he gets back to 100%

Clearly had covid. Moreover, this seems like good news RE Bishop.
-
Certainly seems like that favors us with Bishop. However Beard doesn’t have a single big on his roster coming back.
-
@BeddieKU23 Texas people seem to think they aren’t really in it. Hoping they are right.

Good stuff as always

I’m hearing Sims is leaning on coming back

Wow, of course
-
Bishop recruitment looks like a wild ride based on the recent Bossi post…
-
UNC is out for Bishop, sounds like that was probably the pick but it was first to commit with him and Manek.
-
With that intel I think he picks Beard
-
Not going to lie, part of me wants to get Christian Bishop, but another part of me just wants to play Zach Clemence or other young players next season.
-
Tyon to DePaul
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I will take Bishop over watching Clemence hang out around the 3pt line next year and do largely nothing.
I think he has a lot more work to do than most people though… From a coordination perspective - very coordinated guy at 6’9.
From an athleticism perspective, I think the has a LONG ways to go and a lot of time to spend with Ramsey.
-
@BeddieKU23 Good take for them honestly. High upside guy that if you can coach up could be your best player. No denying that the tools are there. You just have to be willing to unlock them and you may not ever crack the code.

The problem with this take though is the Christian Bishop is unplayable next to Dave unless you think the Doke/Dave comb was successful in 2019-20. Bishop has zero outside game and has less range than Dave.
The only way you can play Bishop is next to Martin/Lightfoot or backing up Dave and since Bishop supposedly has no interest in playing the 5, backing Dave up is probably not an option.
Christian Bishop is a good player, but he’s a terrible fit on KU’s roster because his skill set doesn’t compliment anyone else’s except maybe Cam Martin.
-
Really hope we get Bishop. Think he could be a Darnell Jackson type guy
-
-
Bishop to Texas.
-
Good for them
-
He could very well start there whereas Bossi said Self told him he would be coming off the bench.
-
All good. Let’s just beat Texas.
-
@BShark said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Bishop’s a much better fit at Texas than at Kansas.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah I don’t think he had a real defined role for KU. You can’t play two non-shooting bigs.
-
He will be a pain in our ass for the next two years
-
@Woodrow agree. Good basketball player that could find his niche with any team. Oh well, on to the next
-
Akinjo into the portal. Please at least contact him Bill.
-
That UTEP Big that scorched us is in the portal. His former coach is at Texas
-
The Eastern Washington big that burned us in the portal too. He’s considering Texas and Oklahoma lol
-

Maybe, but did we need and 8th big? I would have taken him but I can see why he picked Texas.
-
@BShark remember vital fell on him and punctured his lung, long recoup
-
What about Wilson’s buddy from OU? Harmon?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Apparently they are actually not close. Heard that KU won’t even talk to Harmon because Jalen will be back and they can’t co-exist. RJ also doesn’t like Harmon and RJ and Jalen are of course close. This is all hearsay of course but the guy I am hearing it from has always had correct info about Jalen. Lives in Texas, knows his HS coach I believe.
-
@BShark Self can’t sign everyone. he already has too many players to keep happy. he is going to have a lot of transfers already.
-
Transfers are the new normal
-
@BeddieKU23 ughhh
-
I also think the new normal will be signing as many quality players as possible. See who thrives, and the disgruntled ones can leave to find more fertile pastures. But from a coach’s perspective, those guys still provide valuable practice minutes.
I think one reason we didn’t do so well this year is because our scout team couldn’t make our offense better with effective D, especially Gethro.
-
@mayjay The KU bench was heinously bad this year by KU standards. Definitely didn’t help like you said.
Another thing will be low and mid majors are going to have their better players leave for big schools much more often now once they prove they can play.
-
Pre pandemic transfer numbers had leveled out around 700 players per off-season. We’re around 1500 now but I don’t think we’ll see numbers this high on a regular basis going forward because of the rule only allowing players to transfer once without sitting out a year. I also don’t see numbers going back to pre pandemic numbers either. I think we’ll end up seeing numbers closer to around 1,000 players moving per off-season.
I do think most transfers will be freshmen who don’t pan out or get minutes they expect and low and mid major players getting cherry picked to fill in gaps on P5 rosters.
-
So is there still any other names we should kind of keep our eye on OR are we done ? -Any other players that might be interested ?

Do not think we are done
-
KU still needs a 2/3 style player for sure and should be the priority with the one for sure scholarship available and a pure wing depending on what Ochai does which I believe he’ll be gone. The staff also needs to keep in contact with a starting caliber 4 in case Wilson makes a mistake and doesn’t return.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think it’s fairly telling in regards to Wilson that Bishop ended up at Texas. Of course things can change. Sure hope he comes back.
-
Marcus Williams to Texas A&M
-

Makes sense. Bossi said he needed to be back closer to home in Texas. A&M also needs guys badly.
-
@BShark @mayjay no doubt. Another thing that the new transfer rule will help to bring about is the deserved death of the OAD rule. It might help the mid-majors too, since with so many of players transferring to P5 schools (exhausting their scholarship limits) more highschool talent will be available to sign than there used to be.

The NCAA has zero control over the OAD rule. That’s part of the NBA CBA and will be around for at least 2-3 more years. With more players going the G-League route, I don’t necessarily see the NBA getting rid of the OAD rule when they redo their next CBA.
