2023 Transfer Portal
-
Think he needs to drop a level.
-
Bill really said we’d have to change to a zone to play Zach. I am HOWLING. PHOF!
@kuballin10 lol

@Kcmatt7 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@Woodrow hot goss says 3 starter-level guys. The only one that Slater has name-dropped officially was Harrison Ingram. And he’d be the lowest scorer of the 3 guys that are linked to KU right now… As long as this all holds true we’ll be pretty happy.
Now this is what I’m talking about.

@wissox said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
With Zach leaving, and Wisconsin needing a big I’m wondering if you all think he’d do well in Greg Gard’s system?
From what I’ve been hearing pretty hot talk he might end up landing at Wichita State

I wish the best for him. He had his heart set on starting this year and it just didn’t work out. He is still the only KU player who ever answered a tweet I made welcoming him to the team when he signed.

ya seems like a really good kid - -just didn’t develop like they thought. - You know sometimes the College game is a cold thing , sure you get the free ride with the Scholi but just like this as we know these a yearly thing and can get pulled at anytime - - seems kinda of cold hearted but yet I understand it’s kind of like a business. You can’t or don’t produce - -then they have to find someone who can
-
Joseph Yesufu official in the portal.
Thanks Joe for your hard work here. Hope ya ball out somewhere
-
@BeddieKU23 This is probably one of my biggest “misses” ever from player expectations. I thought Joe would end up a star at KU. If he ends up under the right coach, I think they may have a hidden gem. Someone who can get him back to the .384 shooter he was at Drake.
-
Mj and Cuffe left (to enter portal I hope) and we then have 4 spots open for the portal
Bill is salivating this is his year to land some studs and get back to a title
-
That brief moment where people were assuming he was back because of the mass street nil post was hilarious.
-
On one hand I’m bummed Joe is leaving because he was a GREAT locker room guy. Very smart, good leader and role model for the youths. Buuuuut at some point it has to match production, which it never did. So best of luck to Joe. Tear the roof of the Mo Valley, my dude.
-
ALSO HILARIOUS: portions of KU twitter melting down over Bill cutting loose the “dead weight”.
-
Yikes twitter can be such a cesspool sometimes.
People are uniformed most of the time unlike us fanaticals lol

Excellent post my friends. Well said. Have no bad ill towards Joe, , seemed energetic. - He tried , but just a different level of competition , won’t lie think the kid really liked it here, and I liked him here- -just didn’t work out. - -Good luck though Joe
-
Yeah definitely a miss for me too. Really struggled with the mental aspect of playing here it felt. He was never the confident player we saw at Drake. Oh well he helped us some just not enough. Always a hawk!

I try to help, but I can’t put a ton on twitter.
-
Maryland’s Hakim Hart in the portal.
-
Here’s a big one, Syracuse’s Joe Girard in the portal. Can’t imagine he’d be a target just mentioning. Big time shooter but small.
He’s from around my neck of the woods, saw him play in High School when he was breaking every NY state scoring record. Routinely went for 50 and would shoot from half court sometimes, he was that cocky. His dad rubbed a lot of people wrong, probably why Boheim took him LOL.
-
More Big-12 departures
Joe Bamisille leaving OU. At least the 3rd guard to leave them Moser’s crew.
Jordan Turner leaving Baylor. Never really got any burn.
Cormac Ryan leaving Notre Dame, can shoot.
-
Portal will hit over 1000 by end of weekend, heck perhaps by end of day. Certainly trending to top last years total.

This has been known for over a week now but it’s a shame that it got put out on twitter. People need to behave when it comes to players not yet in the portal that we are tampering with.
-
@BShark and people ask why we have to sometimes be cagey. With great* power comes great responsibility
*incredibly niche insight fueled by years of hanging out with friends in Lawrence establishments talking ball

Or people need to not share so-called secret info if they don’t want it out.
I always love it on Survivor when someone gets a secret idol and immediately tells someone who promises to keep it a secret. Yep, that will happen.

Don’t be tampering. No mentions of you know who…

I’ve been thinking for years this guy would transfer to KU. Guess it finally happened – or will happen, maybe. wink wink.

Ultimately secrets are hard to keep. Just spoils his announcement that’s all mostly.

I’m just wondering when the guys will announce they are transferring into out program. Hopefully not to long. --Has the one actually announced he is even the portal yet ? - - I know you BShark had hinted his name but said he had actually even entered yet. - Ha he officially entered the portal ?

There is Stanford’s academic schedule to consider. Last day of finals is today. Conferral of degrees is April 6th.

I don’t think that date matter for them to announce anything. It would only be relevant in regards to when they could enroll at KU which would be summer school with Stanford being on the quarters system.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think the first date probably matters and Jones wants to and will graduate. We’ll see. I do not know the time frame so I’m just speculating.

I believe the dates to announce decisions are only relevant to the NCAA’s window on when that can happen, but graduation dates are relevant to when he, or anyone else would actually be able to enroll at KU.
-
Almost no chance he’s leaving but I would drop a BAG for Kalkbrenner

I wish we would’ve landed Scheierman. He would’ve been the bench player KU needed this season.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 You think one of the top transfers wanted to come off the bench versus starting and getting to shoot a ton?
Bill prioritizes defense sometimes too much unfortunately

Obviously he didn’t want to since he didn’t come here. Doesn’t mean I can’t wish he had made a different decision. And no, he is not a better player than McCullar which is why I called him a bench piece at KU.
-
@kuballin10 this portal class appears to be almost all offense so we’ll see how it goes. Defense could be there but a work in progress for sure
-
Scheierman‘s numbers went way down too. I think people underestimate how big a jump it is from a mid to high major. One of my offseason projects is looking at how big a drop you can actually expect. A mid major conference player of the year is at best a decent starter at a place like KU
-
6’8 wing/4 man Jack Clark in the portal from NC St. Avg 9ppg and nearly 7 boards. Not a prolific shooter but takes them
-
Pretty compelling there

Why I’m not overly concerned about next year. Assuming we get dudes.
-
Brandon Murray in the portal from Georgetown. 2 transfers in 2 years after leaving LSU last year. 6’5 Guard averaged 13.7 ppg on awful shooting splits.
With the memo for transfers regarding coaching changes no idea how he plans to play next year.
-
We targeted the wing version of Cam Martin. Better not be serious.

Holy shit.
Hmmmm well not even gonna bother to ask. Don’t think we or he would land here - -no particular reason. Don’t think we were even involved initially were we. - Will be a nice addition for somebody
-
@jayballer67 We were. Imagine Arkansas is the favorite here, he is from there.
-
@BShark https://duckswire.usatoday.com/lists/kelel-wares-nba-draft-stock-plummets-amidst-struggles/
Any idea why he struggled so much the second half of last year?

Not sure. I actually wouldn’t want him, it’s just a massive addition to the portal. If we are going to take a big I want a guy with back to the basket skills.
