Are you confident that Hunter returns for his super-senior year?
-
@stoptheflop I think it’s more likely than not. He won’t appreciably improve as a pro prospect and the money at KU is very good.
-
I’ll say this now whether we end up with any of these guys or not - -I have noticed for the year of 24 -& 25 Ku is back in on multiple top, highly recruited/ranked players - - going for the Big dogs - -Bill not playing
Some names with kids mentioned KU that’s on their final list or being mention. - -for 2025 is : - -Xavion Staton - -( 7 ft ) - - -Bryson Tiller- - Derrek Dixon - - Tunde Yessoufou.
Other players involved with either 24 - or 25- -Darryn Peterson -sounds like very well could re-class - - -Jeremiah Fears - - Bryson Tucker - -and still very much in the mix for Joson Sanon - -again the guys aren’t messin around
-
Definitely an uptick again. NIL game being strong helps as well. It has to be now

Have to agree with you-- -time to re-load- -down year , but we won’t stay down. Another player that w just got mentioned in his final four yesterday , and personally I just don’t see him ending up here BUT still kept us in his final four. --That’s Derik Queen, just can’t see it if Hunter does come back and then Flory- -and yet I’m not 1000 % sold that he Hunter IS coming back we shall see. if he doesn’t it might be a different story
-
KU still has 2 spots guaranteed to fill for next season assuming Self is going with 12 scholarship players next season to finish up the 4 scholarship reduction for next season.
Our 3 current incoming freshmen will replace McCullar, Timberlake and Braun. That leaves 2 more spots plus whatever happens with Clemence, Dickinson, Furphy, or anyone else. If Clemence does transfer out like @FarmerJayhawk says will happen, then we have three openings.
I know we have two bigger guards coming in, but one of those open spots needs to reserved for a high major playmaker transfer that can play the 2 as their primary spot. Any other openings should be dedicated to front court depth.
-
Expect them to throw their hat in the ring for the Old Dominion guard that will be in the portal. Will be hard to pull though
-
@BeddieKU23 3 years to play too which is a nice bonus. I wouldn’t rule out Peterson or Sanon yet either.
-
Hopefully we can land 2, a HS stud and a instant impact transfer
-
@BeddieKU23 agreed. And just talking out of my rear here but I also wouldn’t turn down another big assuming Clemence goes. Still have one more year to eat the penalty so going all in when it’s Juan, KJ, Hunt, and likely Furphy’s last year would be nice
-
Absolutely we should grab a big. A 4 man with size which would help KJ out with subbing or an athletic bruiser that would help out in conference play as its becomes the royal rumble instead of basketball down in the paint. Think we should match what teams in the league are doing there
-
Well sitting here thinking this morning, just watched some high lie video and yes I know it’s high lite but still I just can’t help but get excited about this 24 class coming in .I’ll say this we got some solid rim protection coming in that’s a given high lite or not. - -Flory get’s it done just watched him in his Conference championship game, he had 17 points----24 rebounds and 10 blocks - - -that is a pretty impressive line. -Yes may still be raw offensively it looks like his shot is decent, a left handed shooter, now in the clip seen him draining 3 point shots left and right - -BUT it was a drill so kind of hard to judge, but his shot looked pure. Flory is thicker then what I thought , looks pretty solid.
Passmore looks solid , drives the ball well solid shot - -Then Philon looks very solid I know they are incoming freshman but you can see the talent in these guys legit.
Very sweet class and yet - - -could you imagine if w ended up landing Darryn Peterson to go with these three -or even Sanon for that matter - -would be an insane class - -My gut tells me I think we have a vey legit shot at Peterson - fingers crossed.
-
What playing time will there be next year, assuming Dickinson and Juan stay and KJ is a starter. Elmarko will be improved. Furphy will likely be gone as is McCullar. One spot available? Two?

I’m not so sure Dickinson will be back
-
As of today I think we bring back everyone but Kevin. Furphy is in no hurry to leave and Hunt’s pro options are pretty limited (UDFA G League or overseas). So we will lose 3 and we have 3 signed. We do get at least two more spots since we ate two from the NCAA penalty and Terio’s scholarship is available, though we could eat that one and get the penalty done a year early. I have a strong, strong suspicion we’ll go after a high major scoring guard in the portal, and maybe a big if Queen wants to come or potentially from the portal depending on fit.

There should be 1 starting spot up for grabs. The 2/3 spot will open because of McCullar. Everything else available is back up minutes. I screwed up my math because I forgot about Arterio’s spot still being open.
KU currently has 9 scholarship players, loses 3 to graduation, has 3 signed, and still owes one to the NCAA. So KU can sign 3 right now. A scoring guard is a must, a back up big that can play the 4 or 5 spots should be another transfer and the third spot could be basically any spot at this point.

Queen again says he will commit soon. Either he’s going to keep saying it or make a decision. probably not KU if soon

ya talk about him wanting to commit before the end of the Season. – Would be a nice get but just don’t see it, think probably Maryland, not sure. Just haven’t heard any rumblings of him coming here that I know of – made his final four but just not seeing it right now unless something changes, not if hunter comes back --still not sure about that myself. Yet if he does then Flory also ehhh probably not
-
Queen to Maryland

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Queen to Maryland
what a surprise – like who didn’t see that coming
-
Landing at Maryland says it all. He’s just not that good
-
We knew he wasn’t coming here… with the possibility of Hunter coming back ( which I still am not sold on that happening 100 % ) & then having Flory here also. Plus Maryland being his home State makes it easier for family & friends too watch him play, I would of taken him , but for sure not going to kill us that he didn’t. Shouldn’t surprise anyone at all
-
PG would be nice if Hunter is coming back. Developmental big, PG or a combo guard, and another wing maybe. In addition to what they have would be nice. I’m hoping if there is another impactful signing that it is someone who can handle the ball and shoot.
-
I’m hopeful we land a top transfer shooting guard that can take on Kevin’s scoring role.
Another big, preferably a guy that is athletic with some physical maturity to deal with the ridiculous level of physicality in the league. If Flory isn’t your answer to spell Hunter or whoever the starter is at the 5 it can’t be another version of Braun. He’s been a complete non factor helping Hunter stay healthy and fresh.
With the way they are recruiting the guard/wing at the HS level they are either going to get one or look at the portal.
Above anything else, can’t go into a season ever again with 9 bodies. Self really needs to figure it out going forward. Should never have been in this position to begin with
