Not expecting any KU players to enter the portal. As of right now, no one is in. Crazy.

This is kind of shocking. At one point, what, there was thought of at least three with a foot in the portal door???

Up to 4.
Winning cures all I guess. Though 2 were a case of people thought Bill would boot them. Very interesting.

@BShark $$$$ at KU better than smaller d1 schools back home. Winning didn’t cure all but riding the bench making money is lucrative depending on these guys financial backgrounds

Thought a couple guys would be forced out based on what I heard. Bill getting SOFT himself?
-
Maybe he’s thinking that the 22 team was all about chemistry and doesn’t want to disrupt that…??

This probably means the attrition will be through the draft.
JCL, Cam Martin, Mitch, and Remy were all listed as super seniors, so they are all gone. Big Dave and Och are also gone.
We know that MJ Rice, Gradey Dick, Zuby Ejifor, and Ernest Udeh are all coming. Ejifor and Udeh replace Dave and Mitch. Rice replaces JCL’s roster spot. Dick replaces Remy’s roster spot.
So there are two roster spots open at a minimum, but I’m guessing KU fills three because Braun is probably gone, too.
If we assume that means Wilson is back, our rotation next year is:
Starters: Harris, Dick, Rice, Wilson, Transfer A
Reserves: Ejifor, Udeh, Clemence, Pettiford, Yesufu, Adams, Transfer B.
I don’t know where Kyle Cuffe fits into all of this. Honestly, he is the guy that I can’t really figure out. He’s a very bouncy athlete, but with him redshirting last year, its hard to gauge how the coaching staff feels about him. He can play. But how does he find minutes with Harris, Pettiford, Rice, Dick, Yesufu all playing guard/wing minutes. That’s five guys splitting up 120 minutes already, and we know Self loves both Harris and Pettiford, so 50 of those minutes are already gone.
KU could get by without any transfers, honestly, if Wilson returns. Even without Wilson, they probably don’t have to fill that other slot with a big time guy. But they probably do look for another guy either way.

Heard some pretty resolute stuff today about guys staying.

@justanotherfan We have not targeted a single big in the portal fwiw. I’d lean towards Zach starting, based on the word around the program.
I’d like to get a starter in the portal if CB does leave. Go with something like: Juan, Transfer, Rice or Gradey, JWill, Zach.
Where we might differ is I don’t think Yesufu is a real factor at all. He was only played this year as a last resort. So I’d like to get, say, Mosley in your list with the guard rotation.
Also if I’m not mistaken we only have one scholarship to give if only CB leaves. Mitch didn’t count this year so we were one over.
-
Are we still in play for Hunter? Or is that ship setting sail for UL?
-
Oh yes KU is very much in play for Hunter
-
@PharmacyHawk glad you’re back!

Louisville people are feelin pretty full of themselves - -feeling really confident they are getting Bates & Hunter both

Cam Martin was a red shirt, so at the moment he’s not gone.

Cam isn’t gone.

Yea there are only 2 spots open to be filled by transfers right now. I think if Hunter does come, Yes is gone. He would have needed a waiver anyways so I don’t think the deadline would have been meaningful for him regardless. That is just my speculation so don’t take it as gospel on the rules there.
Seems like we take a big guard and a true wing to me. Mosely seems in the bag. Hoping the other ends up being Council.

It would be rather interesting if we didn’t take Council, all things considered. Tough business lol.

Are you counting Wilson back in your numbers? I only see room for one transfer. Maybe I’m missing something.
Cam, Joe, Wilson, Harris, Zach, Adams, Pettiford, Cuffe, Dick, Rice, Udeh, Ejiofor. Thats twelve.
And if we took a transfer, that leaves no room for Braun to shock the world and come back for another year if thats the route he chose.

Yea I think you’re on it actually. One left… for now.

Am I weird for being a fan of Yesufu? He seems like a sharp kid with plenty of talent and fit in well. I keep thinking back to that Iowa State game at Ames… which at the time I thought was a victory over a much lesser team. But ISU’s end of the season validated how phenomenal that win was without Ochai.
Yesufu’s line: 23 Min, 5 Reb, 4 Assists, 7 points in a 70-61 win.
Not too shabby for right off the bench. The dude was ready.

I think if Bill really wants/needs to with the possibility of transfers from portal good chance still that Cuffe - - Cam - -& Joe could still be shown the door. - kinda crappy way of handling kids but like anything else I guess when it comes down to it - it’s a business even more so now with this dam NIL seems more like a business - -as we know these Schoi’s are year to year and may not be offered the following year. It’s just a case sometimes of moving some out for what the staff beleives to be better one’s coming in - I really don’t like how they do kids like that sometimes but - -whatcha gonna do
-
@bskeet I’m with you on that. Feel like he has a chance to be REAL good at KU and still has a few years left, no? Seemed to me he was just behind Juan and healthy Remy for PG minutes. He’s now had a year in the system. I’d be surprised if he is in any way ASKED to leave. Think it will be a real battle with him and Bobby next year for that second little guard spot that sometimes plays with Harris and sometimes in place of. And I know we have some strong freshmen wing/guard types coming in but I never trust a freshman to get minutes until I see them play against real d1 competition.

Never say Never
-
@bskeet I love the guy.
But I’m just looking at it through the lens that Pettiford is younger than him and Harris is the same class. If he is ever wanting more than 15-20 mpg it just isn’t going to be at KU.
Unless Yes just gets so good to a point he forces Bill’s hand for more minutes he is essentially just going to be Jeff Hawkins.
-
I miscounted Cam, so we do only have one transfer spot. That makes things really tough, because I’m not sure Clemence works without another big with him, and I am not sure Ejifor or Udeh are day one starters. Maybe I’m wrong about that, or Wilson helps offset a potential lack of rebounding. A guard transfer would be nice, but only if its someone that can be a star, like Mosley. We don’t need depth in the backcourt. We could use some depth in the frontcourt, though.

Rebounding is something I’m not worried about with Zach based on what he showed this year. I think him plus Jalen would be a great rebounding front court tbh.
I am more worried about our two guard spot, but think it will be addressed in the portal.

@FarmerJayhawk Man, if we get Mosely AND Braun comes back…
Harris, Mosely, Braun, Wilson, Clemence n company with HIGH talent game changers on the bench at every spot. Self couldn’t use em all but I bet he’d figure out how to make the best of the players he did use. whew!
-
I don’t honestly think that will be what is best for Braun but boy it would be fun. Imagine being a legit threat to go back to back with your high school buddies playing next to you?

@BShark Right? Just play north carolina again and it’s winner takes all for 23?
-
@BShark But it’s not COMPLETELY out of the realm of possibility, correct? Like Christian’s mom is clearly trying to get Mosely to Kansas. I know she loves Harris too but could there be more motive than that?

Braun back would be the huge surprise, of all the things in that scenario. I’m expecting the rest, quite frankly…

Read a CBS sports article listing and talking about the final transfer time to enter the portal had passed and the 48 hour window had passed this is what they said:
They have Tyrese Hunter as the # 2 in the portal and the top Guard in the portal. - Saying he was improving on his shooting , distrubutes really well and just an absolute menace on defense.
Had Mosley as the # 9 player in the Portal saying he was an instant bucket saying sometimes you might question his shot selection but if they are dropping - - -scored over 20 in 17 games this past Season & scored in the 40’s in two games - - instant offense
