2022 Transfer Portal Thread
-
Well from what I just read it’s lookig like a little less likely Hunter lands here. - They had a article on remaining portal players and most likely landing spot. - Louisville I guess is in on hi pretty good , and Tennessee in pretty deep to. They did say that there were a few that thought KU might still be able to make a run on him. - -He is visiting Gonzaga this weekend.
Bette chance with Mosley talk about him knowing Braun and friends with Juan Said to keep an eye on KU - -however said there were there teams still trying to make a run on him
-
@jayballer67 I agree not feeling confident on Hunter which sucks as he can help us the most.
Hunter Council Mosley Welch
Bigs wise we seem set unless it’s some stuff Self grabs late but doesn’t look that way.
Juan Rice Mosley/Council (doubt we land both) Wilson Big Z
Bench: Bobby Dick Udeh/KJ/Zuby - whoever is playing well
Thoughts?
-
@kuballin10 If we get Mosley probably a 1-2 seed. FR would need to come along if we don’t get two experienced wings but the talent is there. If we don’t get Mosley…really depends but I could see a 4 seed type year possibly.

Would pretty much agree. - - Between Council / Mosley pretty much a wash - - one offense - -the other more defense , kind of like Council because I think with what we got we can manage the offense , where as always good to have better defensive players. Coach loves the guys that’s willing to play hard at that end of the floor.
Again I think you could go either way with Dick/Rice in the line up either way is ok. Dick again might be a better offensive player - -Rice might be more physical type I can’t really say I would have a problem either way.
I think your right pretty spot on , I think it will be hard to keep Zach out oft the line up. He showed flashes l ast year. One thing is we gonna be young with our big’s KJ , Udeh , Zuby , Zach - that could be interesting who really seperated them selves for that starting spot. - What I have heard about Udeh the kid is gonna be pretty dam good in time - -raw right now but other aspects he has is sweet
-
@BShark you think Mosley is that good?
Council is ally oops like Och
Hunter performed like Remy in March
Mosley can make tough shots and score but isn’t he not very athletic and going to be a liability defensively? Sounds familiar to Remy and we know how Bill feels about guys not playing D. Remy was quick enough to learn but Mosley athletically is limited.
Is Mosley just a 6-6 JCL?
Almost feel like I’d prefer Hunter and Council.
I saw Bill is taking the lead on Mosley so assume they want him as priority number 1. Not sure who is taking the lead on the other two guys.
Hopefully the crap about Hunter not wanting to share the ball with Juan isn’t true
-
@jayballer67 agree on all points
Udeh should be like the big footers at Baylor that set screens, catch lobs, play d and rim run
-
Council is visiting Arkansas
-
JCL is a better shooter than Mosley, but Mosley is a better scorer. Mosley is dangerous from all three levels and can get his shots when he wants them. I would imagine if Mosley comes here he averages 16+ regardless of who all returns because he is a scorer.
I’m still curious on how Udeh turns out here. He’s still pretty raw. He may not be an immediate impact guy, but he could contribute big time at some point.
-
@justanotherfan 16+ is a VERY high bar for a player in Self’s system. Especially if Wilson ends up coming back.

Sounds like the sketchiest NIL deal yet. He played it smart though

I was told NIL would mean that big schools poach every good player from small schools…
And this is exactly why NIL is going to level the playing field if schools can get creative.

of course I say this as the NCAA is trying to set up guidelines that will really end in their own demise. Collectives aren’t going away. You opened pandora’s box for football and it is here to stay.
NCAA really just signing it’s own death warrant if they actually try to crack down on any of this.
-
@Kcmatt7 probably illegal now, huh?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 the NCAA is going to get sued into the ground over the recent guidelines. Pay to play is here to stay.

I just don’t see that happening do you? - -Cb returning looks like he gonna be 1st round late and just really don’t see his positioning going up much further.- - Plus he takes the chance - - he comes back - -and has a worse season and his stock drops. I just think he stays in the draft

To my knowledge no transfer has a committable offer to KU right now. The staff’s dream is everyone comes back. If Braun stays in then they’ll move. But, for example, if Tyrese Hunter wanted to commit tomorrow we don’t have a spot. If we’re able to add spots later then that will change but as of now, nobody can commit to KU.

A dangerous game.

Agbaji, McCormack, Martin, and likely Braun are all gone. That’s almost 53 points per game out the door. That’s a ton of shot attempts. Wilson probably won’t get a much bigger slice of the scoring pie. He may go from 11 ppg to 13 or so. Dick and Rice probably score some, but I doubt they both come in and average double figures (although I am in full support of being wrong about this). I doubt Pettiford, Adams or Harris averages more than 7 or 8, and I doubt we get 20 between the three of them because that’s just not their role.
So if this team averages 76 ppg next season (a pretty reasonable figure for a Bill Self team), that’s 13 from Wilson, 10 from Clemence because he’s the only inside player that will probably score consistently next year, 15 from Pettiford, Adams, and Harris (6, 4, 5), 17 from Rice and Dick (probably a 7/10 split), and less than 6 from Udeh, Ejifor and Yesufu because there just aren’t enough minutes for those guys to score a ton if Mosley is on this team (Clemence, Adams and Yesufu combined for 5 ppg this year). That’s plenty left for Mosley, and if KU is more of a 78-81 ppg team, Mosley could go higher (likely since next year’s team will probably play at an even faster pace).
Of course, if Braun is back, those figures change because Braun is going to get some of those shots, and HE likely averages 16+, with Wilson and Mosley both in the 12ppg range, followed by Clemence, Dick and Rice all just under double figures.
-
@justanotherfan Yeah. If CB is back I’d bet big money on him averaging over 16 a game. I just hesitate to put too much trust or expectations of numbers for newcomers because Self over and over again favors the guys he knows and trusts. I’d argue Yes is more likely to get 7 or 8 a game than a transfer scoring 16+ just because Self knows him and was able to see what he was capable of this year and if he makes improvement, he WILL reward him for that with PT and freedom on the court. I also think Harris could slowly develop into more of a 7-10 point a game type guy.

Yeah I’m not overly fussed about things if everyone that might come back does so. Knowing Bill’s system is a huge plus and our player improvement is A+.

Me: I won’t doubt Bill after this title.
Also me, regarding offseason decisions so far:
-
I am confused at the lack of movement both in and out at this point

Tre Mitchell to West Virginia.
Have fun huggy with his daddyo. Can’t believe he transferred in conference…
Kyle Lofton to Florida (St Bonnie PG)

I also think Harris could slowly develop into more of a 7-10 point a game type guy.
Yesufu certainly has the talent to get to the 7-8 ppg mark. I just don’t see where those minutes are coming from, unless its at the expense of Dick, Rice, Harris and Pettiford, in which case their numbers fall to correspond with that rise for Yes.
I don’t think Harris averages much more as a scorer because that’s not his game. As a RS freshman, he took about 2 shots a game and averaged 2.5 points on 48% shooting in 16 minutes. As a RS sophomore, he took a little over 5 shots a game, averaged 5.4 points on 42% shooting in 29 minutes. So his minutes went up, volume went up, efficiency went down. If he returns to his RS freshman efficiency, he could average about 6 ppg on the same volume, but I doubt he goes much higher unless he’s taking lots of shots, which isn’t his game.
You could be right about Self trusting “his guys” more, but if Braun is gone, who takes the shots? Clemence will get most of McCormack’s volume. Ejifor and Udeh will get Lightfoot’s. Wilson will get his, plus a bit of Braun’s. Dick gets the rest of Braun’s. Rice gets Martin’s (assuming he comes off the bench - if Dick comes off the bench, flip the volume with he and Rice). Yes gets his volume, plus some of JCL’s. Pettiford gets JCL’s remainder, plus any leftover from Braun, Martin, Harris decline.
But that still leaves Agbaji’s volume, which either goes to Mosley (if he comes), or has to get split up between the guys I just mentioned. Clemence is already getting McCormack volume, and unless you believe he’s going to be Nick Collison or Raef Lafrentz, that’s about the right amount for him. Unless Ejifor or Udeh is further along, they are not getting tons of post up touches because that’s not where they are yet. They will catch lobs and get offensive rebounds.
On the perimeter, we already saw what happened to Harris’ efficiency when he doubled his volume. He may actually shoot less next year, but more efficiently. Pettiford may well get some volume, but you can’t play Pettiford, Harris, and Yesufu together consistently, so someone’s volume will get cut just by virtue of a minutes crunch.
So that leaves wing scoring. Wilson will increase his volume some, but probably not much. He may return to his RS freshman year volume, but retain the efficiency we saw last year, which is how he averages more points overall. So that means Rice, Dick and (presumably) Mosley are filling in for Martin, Agbaji and Braun, unless you believe that Clemence and Wilson are both 16+ guys, and someone in the Harris/Pettiford/Yes group is a double figure guy.
I lean more towards scoring coming from the newcomers because we don’t have a ton of natural scoring returning, unless we turn this into 2020-21 where we tried to make Marcus Garrett an elite scorer (not his game).

I see Cb leaving and Mosley coming in but still having to fight for that starting 2 guard spot with Mj. Coach already know Gradey is starting at the 3 We got 3 McDonald All Americans coming in.2 are guards I fully expect that want to be One and Done this is the time Coach can change the narrative that he can produce em. Kids don’t care about winning much they care about Money and being One and Done. I expect Coach to unleash em so he can show future recruits he let them One and Dones run free.It’s been forever since we put Stars ina league Embiid and Wiggins 2014 so long ago for a BLUE BLOOD You know Coach think about that just like he thought about Winning Chips then did it again. I think we’ll start getting high level recruits again this just gotta be step one to show other recruits He let the Freshman go.

Worth noting the grad transfer deadline is July 1 for spring sports.

Mosley to Mississippi State is looking very likely.

I think portions of the fanbase are hyping Gradey up way too much. I’d be happy with 6-7 points a game from him. I think there will be a big adjustment period. Especially being able to defend at the level Self demands. Josh or Wiggs he is not. I think he is an NBA guy eventually, moreso than MJ.
How many great frosh were there last year? All the best players in the 22 class either reclassified or went pro. This removes them from the rankings an inflates the remaining players. Then you consider that we still have 5/6th year college players running around as well. I’m hoping we can ease our Freshmen in instead of throwing them into the fire.

They’re dead quiet. Only word I’ve gotten is they’ll pursue once CB and Jalen make their choices. Their clear preference is to run it all the way back. There aren’t any offers out right now.
