@Crimsonorblue22 Going to visit! With UNC basically pulling their offer one could say we are the front runner…
-
The game at Hilton would be AMAZING if this happens. holy moly
-

That’s for two years so 400k per year. We don’t publicize but from my understanding, less than some of our guys got. Starters, to be clear.
-
@BShark is hallmark still in Lawrence?

Unreal amount of money. Have to imagine this makes some dominos fall though? Sets a market
-
Thinking about how the Juan/Hunter back court would just lock everyone up.

He’s listed as a “Super Senior” on the ‘21-‘22 roster. Isn’t he out of eligibility?
-
@Gorilla72 He should be sticking around, but not as a player.
-
@Gorilla72 oh, I didn’t mean as a player! I thought I saw where he was volunteering his time teaching students how to take care of their finances. Thought it was mentioned he was sticking around.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wants to get into coaching I know this. If he starts now instead of trying to grind pro ball for a few years he is on a much faster track.
-
@BShark I never heard the coaching part. Is he staying here?

Per trusted source he has been SOAKING up information from Bill on the bench this year. I think Bill finds a spot somewhere for him, if he wants to start that immediately.
-
JCL didnt get the role a 1500 point scorer might have expected. Never seemed once to complain or suffer because of it. Team player and wearing a championship ring. Would love to see him catch on as a coach.
-
Love JCL
-
As I remember JCL has 2 masters degrees in finance and computer something or other. I think he has developed a software program for teaching college kids about handling their money, and is using it with athletes. I think it was a KC Star article, but my subscription has lapsed so cannot check the details.

Love these 2 pics. Lets go tyrese https://twitter.com/FansOfKU/status/1518258609498595335?s=20&t=Xg7elYe-euBwtr5ikqCLkA

Question BShark - can we afford to play Juan and Tryesse on the floor for extended minutes at the same time ? - Definisvely really good - -but on the offensive end ? - - for long periods - -real gamble - like playing 3-5 - Just not really sure if the positives outweigh the negatives on this
-
Ole Ricky (Tennessee) and Virginia are also trying to get involved with Hunter. Would love for us to shut the door after his visit.
-
Tennessee just landed a transfer PG & UVA has Clark returning with Beekeman. Not sure I see why he’d look at them
-

UVA is older info. I’ll ask again about Ricky, when did they land the PG? I know they were gonna add Collins but they either struck out or must have told him they got someone else.
Edit: Looks like Tyreke Key. Can’t hurt us I suppose.
-
Yup Key, Tech really wanted him. Barnes still has Zeigler the little freshman guard that played a ton & while Vescovi is testing I can’t imagine he’ll get drafted.
-
Update
-
@BShark is your sponge bob excited about Hunter? You talk about so many I can’t tell. So no council? He’s more of a scorer.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Hunter. Completely unrelated to wing situation. Staff will bring in another guard that is 6’5’’ or taller as well.

Mercy the Iowa State fans about to have a Nuclear meltdown on Hunter .Talking and saying if he ends up at Ku would Self even play him when they come to Hilton. Just about ready to wet themselves - -they are hot lol.
Her’s the thing , they are all worked up on this and the kid hasn’t even said he is going to land here, sure thee has been talk but my GOD people at least wait till it happens , who knows ? - -no one can say 100 % it’s a done deal , is he gonna visit ? - -So we have heard - BUT come on until he announces he is coming - -chill the frick out. - This sounds really terrible and it hasn’t happened yet and sure the hell hope it doesn’t - -and better not but YET a hot as those people are it wouldn’t stun me if the poor kid doesn’t get bodily harm threats sent to him if he says he is coming to KU - -Serious and that would be really pathetic/sad - don’t laugh I could actually see something like that coming from those idiots - all the remarks they are making. Like I said he hasn’t even said he is coming YET.

One of the other schools involved is worried they don’t have a shot because KU just about has him locked up. Friend of a friend on their coaching staff (I’m getting old lol). Hunter really wants to play for a blue blood and we having a starting spot open at the 2G and can meet (will probably exceed honestly) the number he was looking for in terms of NIL.

This is good for us, btw.

@BShark are we waiting on Wilsons decision? Does this mean we lose yes and Bobby?
-
So if I were a guessing guy I would have to say if we can land Tyresse Hunter & Ricky Council - not sure do they both play the same position ? - Anyways if not if we landed both we would have to call that a very sweet Portal.
Coach Self said they would like to find a tall Guard a guy that could play the Combo - -a guard that could fill it up/score . IF & This isn’t happening but IF he said IF both Wilson and Braun returned and no one transferred out that KU would be full and have no scholi available - -but take it to the bank be willing to bet that Christan & Jaeln BOTH are gone
-

Bobby isn’t going anywhere. he will be here no doubt I beleive
-

Bobby isn’t going anywhere. Getting Hunter would give Bobby another year to develop w/o having to start.
Believe Cuffe will be asked to leave. Joe could see the writing on the wall as well but idk. Sounding like KJ will stay.

Hunter is a true guard and Ricky is more of a wing/4 for us. I think this combination would fit the bill that Self talked about. That said, not sure how far along things are with Ricky. Not as far as Hunter I believe.
-
I don’t think Bobby is going anywhere.
I do think we are in jeopardy of losing Yes, although I think recruiting him back is big because I could see Hunter only being here 1 year. So I think there is room on the roster to keep him if he’s willing to stay. With minutes available to him the next season. But he has no path to start here ever no matter what he does. He could become a 60% 3pt shooter and Bill is going to play Bobby and Harris over him. So I have to think the only way he stays is if he likes winning, NIL takes care of him, and that he knows he is likely to have a pro career overseas which KU helps guys get started on. He can grad transfer after this next season too. I’d also be interested in seeing him redshirt this season and spend an entire season just developing his game. Keep two years of eligibility. If after his RS season there is still no path to PT he can transfer and still have 2 years of eligibility. This is my hope, but it feels like a pipe dream…
If we close on Hunter, I think you’ll also see another wing added to the roster after the NBA combine is over. Mosely/Council/Dennis are the names I’m guessing on. Probably would prioritize them in that order.

Made Hunter’s top 6, no surprise there.

MAJOR BAG ALERT. Would be pretty surprised if this doesn’t get done fairly quick. I dont’ think Gonzaga is really in the NIL game. Louisville is the darkhorse IMO

That’s definitely a bag ass staff that Payne has assembled.
-
I broke his stats down to pre-February vs. February-March: 38.5%/21.8%/68.9% vs. 40%/35.1%/68.4%. Really shot it better from 3 later in the season. Counting stats pretty much the same
-
For freshmen, some hit a wall later in their college seasons, others figure it out. Looks like he figured it out as time went on.
-
I’m still not a sold/confident that Hunter end up here , hope I’m wrong and as hard as it is to believe I have been wrong before lol.- I think he possibly lands at Louisville or Purdue bee a pretty good fit at either, Louisville kinda scares me
-
He wants a blue blood
