6’9 Iona big Nelly Junior Joseph in the portal. Averaged 14.9 ppg & 9.3 boards a game
Wyoming 6’9 big Graham Ike . Missed all of this year with leg injury, averaged 19.5ppg and 9.6 boards in 21-22.
Dayton’s Mustapha Amzil 6’9 in the portal. Averaged 9.3 ppg and 4.8 boards on 36% shooting from 3. Believe he’s the one that made the game winner against us in 21-22.
Ya Graham was the one I postd about earlier , thoguht they ought to at least send out some feelers. - -He has 2 yrs of eligibility left because of his injury

Yep rebounding will be one of the main issues again.
Udeh was so wild he would jump to block for a shot 5 feet over his head and take himself out of the play. He reminds me so much of Dave in his early years with his lack of awareness on when to offer weakside help for rim protection. He has the rebounding ability in him as we saw flashes when he really focused. We absolutely need his maturity level as much as anything to improve this offseason. He seems like a great kid with a great attitude.
Agree Zuby seems like a good rebounder. This a big offseason for him to get stronger as the Mitchell kid gave him issue in the Arkansas Game. He definitely has the rebounding instincts we need.

What’s the website that ranks all of the guys in the portal? I thought I had it book marked.

Eddie Waaaaampkin to Georgetown
-
Kario Oquendo of Georgia in the portal, big time athlete at 6’4
-
What are your top choices from current portal list, just curious.
-
@AsadZ I think a lot of the guys we want / are targeting are not in the portal yet. There are some decent guys in there , but there will be a huge influx of talent over the next 2-3 weeks.

Correct.
Still believe one guy not in the portal is a done deal and would have a hard time believing we find three better guys but you never truly can say for sure until guys announce.

Based on current need, Jaemyn Brakefield from Ole Miss. KU recruited him in HS, spent a year at Duke and then the last 2 at Ole Miss so he’s played good competition, has improved year over year & has been apart of Power 5 programs previously. His shooting numbers suggest he could take on a bigger role (53% FG overall, 65% on 2’s, 35% on 3’s, 73% ft). He’s 6’8 and fits one of the Gradey/J Will/Kev spots we need to fill.
There are some mid-major guards that are intriguing but wouldn’t fill a current need or current preference of the staff. If there is enough roster movement, I can see a veteran scoring guard being a target potentially but right now that’s just my own thoughts.
I think we’ll see KU players announce their intentions, then a break for the staff to really evaluate and see what potentially shakes out after the next wave. Right after the Championship game could be when things start to pick up. Guys making NBA draft decisions/entering the portal would be guys I’d be interested in looking at closer.
There’s a lot of unofficial chatter about a pair of players on a certain team that likely could be entering and be serious targets for KU. They would both fills needs but are not star players at this stage. I’m not sure there’s going to be the kind of guys in the portal at the positions we need that are comparable to Gradey/J Will/Kev. I think I’ll have to adjust my expectations there.
-
Rumor is Bobby Pettiford will be entering the portal soon. We’ll see if that happens today or not.

Who?
-
Puff Johnson of UNC in, 4th Tarheel in and likely not the last
-

Puff Johnson of UNC in
Wasn’t he the defensive specialist from them who came in and lit us up for a bit during the title game?
-
Yep had 11 against us. Effort is there with him although he didn’t generally play a lot (avg 15mpg).

JUMPIN gee hossie Toads, my friend. Who are the others from NC ? - anybody of importance or just seat warmers?
-
@jayballer67 just filler
-
@BeddieKU23 Would be a nice bench guard piece in my opinion. Probably not the big get a lot are talking about how we need to fill those starter spots.

Confirmed, Bobby is in the portal officially
-
Arizona’s Kerr Kriisa in the portal, wow that’s a big one.

Gotcha bud. - so nothing earth moving , just mop up minutes - -maybe fill in gap from time to time. - that is still a lot of kids for a team like Nc has been in the past

No surprise really huh. - -NUMBER 2 - more to come. - Makes me wonder more about Joe though - he may ttry and gut it out. I figure he hada a better chance of going then Bobby actually

-
@BeddieKU23 I’m shocked we haven’t seen Cuffes name yet lol. Assumed he’d be in the day after the season ended
-

WOAH. Wouldn’t have expected that at all
-
Too funny I was just saying to myself, what about Kyle. He’ll be in soon enough
-
We’ll have 4 spots to give to transfers. Numbers are workin, Bill is slayin

Malcontent?
-
@dylans I don’t know much about their team tbh, but they are celebrating it.
-
@BShark he is a bit uninspiring I suppose? But you could definitely do worse at PG. Hope he doesn’t transfer to the B12 lol
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:

Hard pass. Career PER of 11 and a below average defender. Probably needs to drop to a non-power conference school.
-
Not on my wish list either. Only shoots the 3. 177 of his 223 field goals have been 3’s.
-

That was the other one I was thinking - -cause we all had talked about it before. - Could be we still have Kyle-- Joe - to go - -totally new roster possibly

Glad the discourse here is better than other sites that shall not be named. Where the extent of “who should we get?” consists of sorting CBB reference by 3 point %.

We do need shooters… But wow.
-
@benshawks08 I’m slightly exaggerating but it’s not that far off. Every random mid-major guard with a 38%+ shot is a must get lol
-
I mean Denver Jones at the 2 or first guard off the bench to backup Juan or Elmarko would be legit……@FarmerJayhawk

I hear Cam Martin is in the portal. Last time he got minutes he dropped buckets! SMH
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I watched a lot of az he was terrible
-
@kuballin10 I think you’re going to be pleasantly surprised…
-
@Kcmatt7 with this az dude or the transfers we are gonna get?
-
This reaction video goes on forever. Wheres the beef?
-
Clemence and Bobby in the portal
Is the news legit
-

Both are officially in. More joining them soon.
-
I’m not disappointed in who’s leaving so far, it’s like a job with the NIL. Players have to understand they fought for it to be that way but just like a job if I can find someone better for the same pay. See ya later that’s the dog eat dog world we live in.
-
@kjayhawks whispers it’s always been this way, but the old transfer portal rules meant more loyalty from both sides. It’s purely year to year now.
-
I don’t think anyone will be too disappointed by anyone leaving. Maybe ONE guy, and he is the one that had a choice to come back. I wish them all the best at their next stop.
