A strong 6-9 guy with decent post touch might not have an NBA future, but he should still be able to do good work at the P5 level. He will probably only have 4-5 games that he will face someone bigger than 6-9 or 6-10 in college. The college game just isn’t loaded with big guys, and even when you see some of those players, they aren’t necessarily super skilled.
-
I don’t think Burns will come to KU. Not sure he’s a fit here. But I think he could be a P5 player.
Winthrop played 4 P5 teams last year (Vanderbilt, Washington, Washington State and Mississippi State). Burns got into foul trouble in three of those games (fouled out in all three). He did not rebound well overall (only averaged 4.5 boards on the year), and didn’t do much against P5 competition, averaging just 4 rebounds a game in those four games. Averaged 16 points, which is right around his season average of 15.
He shot 60% from the field against P5 (30-50). He has some turnover issues. Ultimately, he’s a flawed but effective player. On the right team, he probably excels (a squad where he is paired with a strong rebounder, and plays at a slow to mid tempo). On the wrong team (single big surrounded by shooters) he probably struggles since he isn’t a great rebounder and tends to turn it over. That makes him a bad fit for KU, but he should find a home somewhere because he can play.

@FarmerJayhawk got it thx Farmer
He knows the atmosphere just don’t want to lose him as I think Self would make him on draft boards when it’s all said and done
-
@Jethro
“pasty gangsta” I’m rolling. You’re right though and I’d be happy with those two.It’s whatever Bill wants to do…the man showed he knows who to play just took Remy actually getting healthy and winning us a title. Without Remy we don’t get by creighton or providence or unc. Dajuan’s steal in the title game was my favorite play but dajuan alone without a stud scoring guard at the 1 won’t get it done
-
@justanotherfan I don’t think we even take a look at him, fwiw.
-
Thing is with Hunter, I wouldn’t be OVRELY concerned if he didn’t come in for a visit. I think he could very easily still land here without visit. Thing about it is - -he has had a first hand look at how we run our game , he knows the team from competing against us. Has a feel for how Coach Self Coach’s .
I think most of what else he needs to know could actually be done through Zoom/face call talking to the staff always has time after to really check out the Campus and such .I think if he is serious most of this can take place without visit just meet on face time and such working out details, How Coach would want to use him and such - - expectations and so on - - we shall see

Juan is on him

Oh heyyy Mosley

YESSSSSSSSS

Slater had this one weeks ago.
Jalen Wilson’s buddy De’vion Harman transferring to Texas Tech. Old buddy formerly at OU & Oregon
-
Justin Powell back in the portal again. Former Auburn player, played at Tennessee last year. What SEC hat will he pick this time to complete the trifecta
-
PG Kyle Lofton in the portal from St Bonny. Avg 12 and near 6 assists & will likely be a popular target
-
Portal approaching 1600 entries.

You are also required to take https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/osun-osunniyi-1.html to get him. Not the worst deal by any means. They want to start which rules us out.
-
It’s expected at 2pm that Fardaws Aimaq will transfer to Texas Tech. Texas/Washington the other finalists.
-
Tech loadin up again.
-
@BShark they had some good guys leave too.

We always joke about how hard it is to get kids to Manhattan and even Lawrence at times. Why on God’s green earth anyone … ANYONE would want to go to Lubbock is absolutely beyond me.
-
@tis4tim The same reason most of these kids go to most schools. Exposure and well you know the rest.
-
Sharp from WKU in the portal. All 7’5 of him

Dikembe no,no,no

Bad friend alert.
Keion Brooks in the portal. He did have a career night in Allen. Fate?
-
Terrance Shannon to Illinois. Twitter is lit since Hunter Dickinson went at Mark Adams
-
Emmitt Matthews back to West Virginia. These are always so odd

I hear you. I’m admittedly a bit biased against that town.
Many moons ago, when I was in college, I made a road trip down there for a football game and had one of the worst days you could possibly have. I’ve held a grudge ever since.
Circumstances aside, I still found it to be completely inhospitable.
-
@tis4tim I remember you telling us, remind us again.

Have you ever been to Lubbock? I believe it is the most isolated P5 school in the country, even more so than Washington St. I can’t think of any other P5 schools that are a 4+ hour drive to a major metropolitan area (1 million+ residents) and Lubbock is about 5 hours from the D/FW area.
Lubbock is also an ugly city and area. People make jokes about Kansas being flat, that area of Texas flat and has minimal diversity of vegetation. There’d have to be some very special reason for me to ever want to make that drive to Lubbock. I know several Tech alums who have never been back to Lubbock because of how isolated and boring of a city it is for anyone not in school there.

@Texas-Hawk-10 meaning all they got is sports! “You can be heroes!”
-
Imagine getting Scheierman and Mosley. Would be pretty fun tbh.
-
And it just keeps getting better and better for Kentucky. - - Keion Brooks has entered the portal. He played in all 33 games for them last year. - -That makes him & Dontaie Alen ( they just totally screwed with this kid ) & Bryce Hopkins to enter the portal
Then they lost TY Ty to the NBA Draft - -Topping has entered the draft but maintaining this eligibility status Plus another - -Dammit I hate it when that happens to that team lol
-
-
@BShark - why do so many responses seem to think Baylor Scheierman is going to KU? Is it the “KU pays” mantra?

No we are genuinely deep in it. Us and Creighton are the two main players here.
-
Kentucky guy can whine all he wants, part of this is playing close to home for Baylor.
-
@BShark said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

His family will be able to go to ISU, KSU, OSU and OU games plus all of our home games.
Creighton makes a ton of sense for him too though for those reasons plus a huge role. Also they pay well too.
-
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I think the bigger role is a real factor for Creighton here. Will be interesting. I think he decides within the next 7-10 days.
-

Lol seriously if they land both this team can absolutely shoot it’s brains out.
Might give 17-18 a Tun for their money as best shooting KU team of all-time.

I think this is a lot less likely now fwiw. Ironically made that post right before hearing someone was locked in to coming back from an extremely trustworthy source.
-
So, who is the most likely from the portal between Mosley - - Hunter - Baylor - who is our best shot ?

Don’t look @Crimsonorblue22

@JAYHAWKFAN214 Okay. Yeah same. I know we are also pretty interested in some other wings in the portal. Will be interesting to see who we get.
