2023 Transfer Portal

Sounds like we might be after Harrison Ingram when he enters the portal…

Yep. Fits the profile of what we are looking for and a Southern Assault AAU kid. Makes a ton of sense.

I like the fit. Nice Jalen replacement as a 4…
-
For those that don’t follow as closely some former Southern Assault guys: Darrell Arthur (technically he was an alum of one of the two that merged into SA but lots of the same people), Gethro (RIP), Jossell, Jalen. The director is a close friend of Bill Self.
ETA: Make no mistake we raised the profile of Gethro (RIP) and Jossell by having them on the roster for a year. Worked out for everyone while we were in a recruiting lull.
-
Louisville is stacking up their roster. Make or break year for Payne ahead.
-
-
JJ Starling in the portal from Notre Dame. Yes and yes
-
Lampkin officially in
Robert Jennings is the 3rd Tech player to hit portal

Syra and cuse

@BeddieKU23 getting rid of Adams didn’t seem to help much…
-
Tyler Nickel in the portal from UNC.
@dylans yeah expect more attrition coming
-
Thinking the O/U on attrition is 5.5
-
@FarmerJayhawk wow
-
-
@BShark KU
-
@FarmerJayhawk Hmm. I’d say 5.
-
Assuming this doesn’t count pro guys ie Gradey/Kev/JWill.
-
@BShark Cuffe, Cam, and Zach seem like locks to leave. I ultimately think Bobby finds a different level to play at.
The rest I don’t have a good feel for. Like I don’t understand why Zuby would leave. I can’t imagine that his camp expected to play big minutes in year one with Zach and Udeh on the roster.
Rice I could see moving on, but I think it would be a mistake on his part. He’s got a chance to play big minutes next season. I really hope the staff can find a way to keep him.
Joe should be put out to pasture. Just not at KU level guy, but if he likes it here I don’t know how you get him to leave lol.
-
@Kcmatt7 Locks to stay Juan/KJ/Zuby/Udeh. The rest are up in the air or locks to leave IMO.
-
@BShark that’s total. I don’t think there will be a mass purge, much to the chagrin of our fans

Well 5 puts us at no transfers in which I doubt because we have no wings.
-
@BShark I think Adams sticks in 24 ¯_(ツ)_/¯. 3 pros, 2 transfers out leaves you room to sign 1 transfer if it’s 5. I think it’s 6 total but 5 is more likely than 7
-
@FarmerJayhawk That would change things for sure.
If we are counting those 3 then I’m putting the number at 7 w/ Adams reclass, 6 w/o. Think we need room for two starters. The way the roster sits right now, I just don’t think Self could go into it next season and hope to win at his usual level.
Agree 6 is a good number that makes a ton of sense to me. Cam retires, Cuffe finds a nice MEAC school and Zach probably a G5 school.
-
@BShark might be wishful thinking on my part. The last thing we need is 3 developmental freshmen on a shot roster.
-
If they don’t make room and add two transfers they could legitimately suck next year. Not like a down year for Bill. Like a 10-11 loss team suck.
Bobby sucks. Joe sucks. For all we know at the moment, Rice sucks. CJ will not be playable as a freshman. McDowell will not be playable as a freshman. You cannot roll out Juan/Elmarko/Transfer/KJ/Udeh with that bench and expect to win the conference. That isn’t going to get the job done.

Strongly agree with this. We have to get two legit wings that have proven it at the college level. I think that’s absolutely required and I think it will be done.
Agree with what you are saying about the FR which does make @FarmerJayhawk idea of keeping Marcus in 24 make some sense. Keep room for a proven guy while forcing less out. Okay I can get behind that.
In my perfect world we are getting proven experienced depth for the 2G spot but I haven’t heard that’s on the table yet unlike the starting 3/4.
-
@BShark Yea I mean I would love to keep MAdams in '24, but I usually when there is reclass talk it gets done. And the way this one got done it feels like someone else is leaving.
-
340+ names in the portal after day 1 of it officially opening
-
Believe there is a player we have already zeroed in on. I made a post and soft deleted, will restore it when he actually hits the portal (think he has some NIL stuff rake in at his current school first).

Old friend in the portal.
-
We certainly didn’t miss on him

Yeah, I can’t recall any guys where we had them decommit that ended up being great.

-
Portal at 400+
CJ Noland leaving OU after 2 seasons.
John Hugley leaving Pitt.
-
High scoring guards Khalif Battle of Temple & Jameer Nelson Jr of Deleware (yes that’s Jameer’s son) in the portal.
-

A Pitt player announced while they are still in it? That’s team spirit!
-
Believe he was already designated to transfer out earlier in the year but it couldn’t be official until this week. Only played in 8 games and none since December. Averaged 14 and 8 as a sophomore.
Not ideal for sure. What’s Eddie Lampkin’s excuse? TCU has a game this week and he’s in the portal blaming his coach.

Was done before he entered the portal. Much like a certain player currently collecting NIL checks in California and KU.

Is this the wing or combo forward we discussed?

Pretty sure about Ingram?
-
-
@dylans Feel good about him but not him in this case. Think if we do get both, those are our starters at the 3/4 next year. Good kids, smart, tough.
-
I still have eligibility left guys, should I enter?
-
@kjayhawks Since I played 1 year of college hoops at a tiny college I probably can announce I’m entering the portal.
-
@wissox let’s open a dual recruitment and see what happens lol
-
@kjayhawks I’m slow, short, and old so hopefully you can be my decoy so my deadly jumper is wiiidddeee open
-
KU is losing 3 for sure to the NBA. We have 3 recruits coming in.
With the scholarship reduction, at least 1 player has to transfer out to be in compliance next season. Cam Martin, Zach Clemence, and Kyle Cuffe all seem like safe bets at this point to leave. KU would have 2 roster spots to play with in regards to Adams and the portal for next season if those 3 all transfer out.
I’d very strongly prefer Adams stay in the '24 class and Self go get two big time scorers at the wing and 4 spots because KJ and Udeh are not playable next to each other for long stretches. Neither has any range and don’t compliment Self’s desire for a 4 guard line up.
If we get more transfers, Rice, Pettiford, and Yesufu all seem like possibilities. I’d love to see Rice stay because he has the possibility to fill one of those positions of need as a high scoring wing, but not something I’d be willing to bet on for next season though at this point.
If one of those 3 also transfer out, then having Marcus Adams reclassify and come in as a back up would make more sense.
-
Another Red Raider in the portal, this time KJ Allen. They have a mess on their hands

Who are you talking about… Ingram and?
