2022 Transfer Portal Thread

justanotherfan

I imagine Yesufu enters the portal soon. He loves it at KU, and can play at this level, but he’s not going to get the chance to really show what he can do. If he did hit the portal, I think there would be a ton of schools interested. He would be an immediate upgrade for most programs either as a starter or first man off the bench.

The portal is really about finding the right fit. Guys come in wanting to be one type of player, but end up not getting that opportunity, or getting bypassed, or hurt, or struggling on the court or academically, and the portal gives them a chance for a reset. I’m glad it exists, honestly. I had a friend (non-athlete) that went to three different schools before he found the right one, graduated, and moved into a good career. I think athletes having that same chance is a great thing, and makes coaches accountable for the things they promise.

Makes sense, where else would he go.

Approaching his 300th yr there

Based on Self’s comments at the banquet, Bobby and KJ are bedrock guys. He won’t do anything that jeopardizes them.

Based on what I saw this year, Yesufu is a legitimate asset to the team. But I can also see where there aren’t enough chairs when the music stops. His talent is legit and he deserves to be able to show his abilities. Would hate to see him go, but that could happen.

Listening to the banquet, Self just seems to have a different relationship with the transfers compared to the recruits. He didn’t need to play head games with Remy any more (he did all season and he won — see the results), but just couldn’t help himself. I’m glad Remy got MOP of Midwest Region. He deserved some hardware for his contribution. I’m hopeful we’re doing something for JCL as well. By all accounts, he was a stabilizing, mature force on the team (and a sharpshooter amongst a group of sharpshooters). I think Yesufu was also a mature force on the team behind the scenes. These guys definitely deserve recognition for contributions that are off the court, in the locker room and beyond.

@bskeet He wouldn’t boot KJ, a complete non-issue in that regard. KJ’s mom however…

bskeet

@BShark Ahhh. Too bad. I wish him and the family the best. Hopefully they can rest easy that he is in a good place and needs the space to learn how to take care of himself.

BShark

Think were great for all involved with JCL btw. Much bigger than basketball on that one.

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark I think it’s been said but JCL is sticking around.

bskeet

It sounded like that. Self was not specific. But I hear JCL was interested in coaching, so maybe Self is working a bit more deliberately on building a tree… Case certainly seems to have his support as well.

@bskeet

I’d take comments said at the banquet with little substance imo. There will be real conversations behind the scenes

mayjay

Would Yes be able to transfer without sitting out a year? I thought you can only do it once?

BShark

@mayjay we would help him get a waiver if that situation comes up.

I wouldn’t hate it, especially since Davis is probably Memphis bound

HOT TAEK here but I think there are a lot of better guards in the portal.

BeddieKU23

Davis to Memphis just seems odd and not what I was expecting. Wonder what the connection is

BeddieKU23

I mean Antoine Davis is the closest thing to confident shooter as Remy was coming in. He’s got flair in him. Maybe Bill wants more of that

BShark

HOT Tyrese Hunter rumors. Not in the portal yet but it’s firmly in play due to NIL.

Crimsonorblue22

Isu? Not fond of con. Transfers. Guess that’s why they use to have that rule.

BShark

@Crimsonorblue22 UNC offering Hunter $750,000.

Crimsonorblue22

@BShark wow, from what?

FarmerJayhawk

Emoni Bates, worth a flyer?

God yes. Not sure we can afford tho?

FarmerJayhawk

I’d take him if dad totally bought in. No guaranteed role, earn everything.

BShark

@FarmerJayhawk I lol’d

@FarmerJayhawk I’d think coach Jank would highly recommend Self!

Oh Davis don’t play with us like that

@BeddieKU23 seems like we survived the Memphis visit at least…hopefully…

Oldmanhawk

Just wanted to wish all my Bucket friends a very Happy Easter!!

3 years to play. only played in 4 games less then 7 minutes a game - -BUT did average a Double Double in High School , think basically a little better version of the Big that just entered the portal
