@FarmerJayhawk so they think there’s a chance w/CB?
60-40 he leaves, last I heard. Which to be fair is speculation. He’ll be back if he bombs the combine and gets a 2nd round grade. It’s not a situation where he has to leave to make money. The Brauns are well off.
Bottom line is the staff really likes who they have and don’t want to go boot a guy who just won a title. Will Cuffe be any good? Shoot, I don’t know. He played 2 years of HS ball and redshirted. They took him knowing it could be awhile before he could play here. I think they want some experience up front so keeping Cam makes sense. They’ve been burned by teams without great team chemistry (eg 13-14, 18-19) so I don’t think they want to plug in a bunch of new starters and hope it works out.
-
So Cam sitting on the bench is experienced? If CB and Wilson don’t come back we have 1 starter left. I’m confused with your experienced, get your chemistry.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I think Farmer is talking about experience within the program. Guys that know what it takes to play for Self. Just because the freshman Didn’t play much and Cam and Cuffe redshirted doesn’t mean they didn’t gain experience Im a big on team chemistry and I’m sure the staff is as well.
-
I’m not worried in the least about next year. No matter who is on the roster, I know I’m going to watch a premium product. We’ve got more talent coming in than we’ve had in a long time. Yes, it would be great if CB and JW return, but we’ll still be good if they don’t. We have a 5 -10 point coaching advantage every game, so that helps.

If CB and JWill didn’t return and we didn’t add anyone, I’d be VERY worried. I think that scenario is basically impossible though.

Fo sho. I really think they’d take his commitment if he’d hold off a bit after visiting. Have to see CB through the process

I think if we did take him, someone would strongly consider leaving. Idk who it would be but Hunter is a guy that would eat minutes at the 2 and likely be the back-up 1 as well.
-
When do the camp games start and what channel? I watched them the last few yrs.
-

@rockchalkjayhawk got 'em, thx!
-
Tuesday for Hunter’s visit.

-
@BShark you hinting at something here?
Dream is getting JW (seems most likely) and CB (not real likely) plus Hunter to start and boot somebody who has no chance of playing real minutes this year
McCullar looks okay but he’s not some great athlete or anything. What’s the draw? I haven’t looked him up much.

I think he’s a better fit for Bill than Mosley but in a vacuum and for our needs next year I prefer Mosley. Smart, versatile player. Played a bit out of position for Tech last year at times and was also playing hurt: https://www.lubbockonline.com/videos/sports/college/red-raiders/2022/02/15/texas-tech-coach-mark-adams-provides-injury-update-kevin-mccullar/6803103001/
As a wing for us I think he would be decent. But I only want him if CB leaves (likely, as you said).
I still expect Jalen back.
Complete gut feeling but I think if we land Hunter, we see one of our guards transfer because Hunter is a guy that will play big minutes.
-
Guessing…
McCullar - Kansas
Mosley - Mississippi State
-
Tyrese Hunter to Texas could happen soon.
-
Watching McCullar keep two athletes on the bench is going to make for a long season.
Hoping I’m very wrong and he surprises.
-
@BShark thanks for the breakdown.
Based on your two recent posts above that sounds like the worst outcome imaginable.
Hunter and Carr together at Texas to go up against Juan and Bobby…
McCullar to keep Dick or Rice on the bench more isn’t ideal.

The craziest thing is that Bill seemingly prefers McCullar to Mosley. He sees things differently that’s for sure.
I am high on Bobby though. He will do exactly what the staff asks and I think he will be fine off the ball. He isn’t a terrible shooter by any means.
-
Possible visitors tomorrow: Hunter, Mosley
-
@BShark I think I’m doubtful cause we’ve seen so little of any of them. I know Bobby goes balls to wall, but he was always hurt. ZC had 2 great 3’s and maybe 2 awesome boards. I love KJ can play D, he did win a 3 pt contest for the boys and girls contest!
maybe more there than I know! I think the frosh will get more time than you think! 🫣 I’m fine with being wrong, just hope everyone is working really hard in the summer, no days off!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

Disagree a lot. I think we are in deep trouble if that happens for reasons I outlined earlier. I think we add a couple guys that are in their 4th or 5th year of college ball though. “Get old, stay old”.
Zach will be our best center next year.
-
@BShark you mean this coming year? I can’t see it.
-
If we add some experienced decent guys that will help. I’m sure Self has something in mind but TT guy was not great against us.

I think we are in trouble if one of our 5-star wings isn’t getting 20+ mpg and making a case to move into the starting lineup.
But one of the reasons KU was so good this last season was depth. Weathered injuries from Bobby and Remy. JCL was hurt a bit. Och missed a game. Jalen missed games early.
We need the bench pieces to be even better this year, especially if we are losing two 1st round picks the way we are. We may need to ride the hot hand a little more than we did last season.

I think one of the wings can get in that range sure.
-
Ok, let’s look at a potential starting lineup then…
Harris — defender, not a great scorer
McCullar — defender, picks up slop on offense. Not great from 3
Dick — Assuming he doesn’t play D well. gotta be a scorer, but a frosh.
Wilson — volume scorer? rebounder. Defense suspect at times
Zach — TBD. He’s gotta rebound and score
That lineup has decent 6-6ish size at the 2-4 spots. Zach has size.
Scoring, shooting a concern.
-
Oops, sorry. This is the transfer portal thread…don’t wanna go off topic too far
-
Big visitor tomorrow…
-
@BShark hoping it’s Hunter
If we landed Hunter what’s starting lineup? Juan Hunter ??? Jalen Zach
Should be but won’t: Hunter Rice Dick Jalen Zach

It is Hunter, I wasn’t going to share until it was posted by reporters.

When I said awhile ago everyone be patient, things will get worked out, this is what I meant. The staff is being extremely methodical in recruiting transfers, and that approach is getting reciprocated.

No Mosely. It won’t be too late to circle back if there’s a spot, but they’re locked in on Hunter and McCullar.

KU’s call here. I really think he would’ve popped for us had we pushed.

I think that’s abundantly clear, after reading the MSU premium board on 247. They will be happy we passed.

Ok after reading this I’m sold. “ As a spot-up shooter, McCullar’s percentages become much more encouraging for his long-term projections. McCullar shot 42% on open catch-and-shoot threes, 35% overall on catch-and-shoot threes, and 35% on three-pointers in the halfcourt, per Synergy…”
“But my favorite part about watching Kevin this weekend was seeing his personality on and off the floor. My takeaway? McCullar will be a welcome addition to any locker room.
One instance that showed me the kind of person that Kevin is was when McCullar’s teenage rebounder let him know that he couldn’t attend the nightly workout session because he had his own basketball game in the morning. McCullar responded by asking what time it was because he wanted to pull up and support him. That’s the kind of stuff you can’t see by watching game film.”

Texas Tech writer on 247 put in a KU pick for McCullar.
-
I… just wish I liked it. High floor/low ceiling type of move imo.

He’s a very Bill Self kind of player. It’s a good match.
-
Hunter down to Texas, KU, Zags.
Unofficially. ETA: Tennessee might be in there too
-
If it were me, I’d push for Hunter’s commitment in May, figure out how to add McCullar later this summer. There’s no rush, you can petition summer enrollment until mid-June. Or he could just wait until fall, which would be weird but given the awkward situation where someone leaves in late June it might have to work that way.
