Do you think we will be active in the Portal this yr ? - - - I think if we get serious about the portal it will be a WING right ?

Gotta fill the Ochai spot at minimum. It all depends on what spots are available.

I’m of the understanding Martin who redshirted will move on. I’m also working with the belief we could see Braun, Wilson & Dave back. Add Harris and that’s 4 starters. If all the other guards return (Yesufu, Pettiford, Cuffe) he’s got 4 smalls but no big guard.

I’m under the assumption Gradey is a wing as is Rice. MJ could also be a small ball 4 here as well with his build and game. He’s physical and likes to score around the basket with his athleticism.

If Dave & Wilson return then the incoming freshman are playing behind Zach & KJ. Seems like too many bodies so something to watch there unfortunately. If neither returns then its a youth movement where Self may grab an experienced big to throw in the mix.

As always the offseason will not be without its drama and anxiety.

No brainer imo

Bidding war coming though I’m guessing. Georgetown thinks they have a shot (which I’m not familiar why) besides him being from the area.

checks notes

IMG Academy, from Baltimore.

Uh yeah. Would really show we are back if we got him.

Makes sense, wonder if the Cambridge brothers want to play together.

Depends on how many departures there are. Just about guaranteed to go for a big guard though. Unless they could fully close on MJ Rice. Honestly I think there are transfers we can add that would be better than him.

A 6-3/6-4 combo would be KU’s biggest need. KU will be fine on the wing even if both Braun and Wilson bolted early. Gradey Dick and MJ Rice are interchangeable as far as position goes at the 3/4 spots. Harris/Yesufu/Pettiford/Cuffe have the 1/2 spots on lock down. Clemence and Adams could each play the 4/5 spots if needed. Udeh will be a load at the 5 in the near future, and Ejiofor could step into se minutes right away if needed. A 6-3/6-4 combo guard that can play the 2/3 spots is what KU’s missing for next season’s line up.

@Texas-Hawk-10 My concern is the 4 spot if CB/JWill both leave. I think at least one will be back. I am also not sold on Rice making it to Lawrence however.

Completely agree though as I mentioned the main want is a guard with plus size. Already a few good options in the portal for that with more coming.

I would be floored if both were gone. If that did happen, I’d take a hard look at Pat Baldwin if he doesn’t go pro (ESPN has him a bubble first rounder). Baldwin and Dick would be crazy from 3.

Rice will be here. There’s been next to no talk recently of him not coming to KU at this point.

FarmerJayhawk

Re: Rice, we’re in a holding pattern. He’s gone if he gets an Ignite offer. If not, KU it is.

FarmerJayhawk

Watching the Zags game, wonder if Sallis would want to pull a Bryce and get a fresh start closer to home

bskeet

God Billy Packer and Grant Hill can’t stop making excuses for Holmgen. He left his feet on both fouls. That’s called a foul at least 50% of the time.

I don’t think anyone knows what a foul is anymore. Definitely no one knows what a charge is.

BeddieKU23

@FarmerJayhawk

I know he played a reserve role this season but in every Zaga game I watched (around 10) I didn’t see why he was a Top 10 prospect coming in. I see the tools & likely he’ll make a jump at some point. Hickman looked more ready this year then him imo

I’d take either in a second.

BeddieKU23

Pinson has a lot of interest already. Kentucky among other P5’s.

Noah Carter, Soph SF/4 man avg 15ppg in the portal from Northern Iowa. 9, 20 pt games including a 33 bagger against Valpo. Big interest in him as well from P5’s

The new meta. Much less loyalty both ways.

Terrence Shannon in the portal WOW.

@BShark

Wow, if anything I thought he was going pro. I did see this as possible but still shocking.

Going to be interesting to see what moves are made on our side…
