2023 Transfer Portal

@coolfool13 The funny thing is I hate what it’s doing to all the non KU’s of the world. We’re gonna get our guys via recruiting and the portal. But some guy ends up at a solid mid major, like Dayton lets say, and plays very well, and suddenly he sees greener pastures and bolts leaving the solid mid major fans sad and depressed.
The counter to that though is a lot of top tier talent that doesn’t get early playing time also moves down to these high level mid major programs. FAU, SDSU, and Creighton this year, Houston making the Elite 8 in 2022 and Final Four in 2021, and in 2020 Dayton, Creighton, and SDSU all were going to be top 2 seeds and have a good chance to make the Elite 8 or deeper. Every team above was a mid major that made at least the Elite 8 in the NCAA tournament. This new reality of the portal hasn’t stopped mid major teams from making deep runs.

Welp, I guess that’s what happens when you have a fake majors.

@Texas-Hawk-10 lol never heard that one before!

Caleb, enjoy Kentucky! Stay away from here- you wouldn’t like it here at all.

Up 6 spots on Torvik with this addition!
Add Kyle Cuffe Jr.;Kansas ADJ. OE ADJ. DE PYTH RK Before: 102.2 103 0.4761 188 After: 103.2 103.2 0.5002 182

@BShark But like, how? No offense to Cuffe. Seemed like a great kid when I heard him in some interviews. Wish him all the best. But how is there any idea what his impact could be on a program like Syracuse? Are they that bad that a totally unproven addition makes them better?

Are they that bad that a totally unproven addition makes them better? your right not sure what he could do. - - we didn’t give him any chance to show what he could do , he was hurt, still think things could of gone better., we never know what kind of impact he would of made with KU- - didn’t see the floor when he WAS healthy. - So it was just a given everyone wanted him to go - Now if Udeh ends up at Syracuse lol uhh ya.

Well they went from 188 to 182 so it’s not like he moved the needle. It’s going off of the limited time he got at Kansas and his recruiting ranking.

Shocked that cuffe ended up at a high major but good for him

“Cuffe says he chose Syracuse over interest from Richmond, Tulane, Pacific, GCU, Western Kentucky, and New Mexico State.”
Per On3. Interesting group of schools there.

Question: Does JWILL, BIFM, TROB, Devonte or Gradey have any brothers who happen to play bb? Asking for a friend…

Cuse down so, so, so bad.

So tell me why exactly it shocked you that he ended up at a high Major ? - - Have you gotten to see him play in ample minutes of action to show he can’t compete at this level ? He sure didn’t do any thing here to prove he couldn’t play, as he didn’t touch the floor for maybe a total of 10 minutes if that while he was here to show he ws a train wreck looking for a place to happen. - -He was injured a lot while he was here , but that doesn’t show he couldn’t compete here - -
I find it kinda of hard to judge a kid there never played and then recruiting time comes around and possibly are better he just automatically get’s recruited over an he then automatically isn’t a caliber P-5 type of player and isn’t good enough. Obviously KU seen something in him at our level or they wouldn’t of recruited him in the 1s t place.- -Doesn’t surprise me at all.
Does Udeh surprise you if he ends up at Duke ? - -or Syracuse ? - -nothing personal - just curious as makes me wonder how people can evulate a kid when he hasn’t been given the chance to prove his ability- -I guess wrong place at the wrong time, BUT I for one don’t or think I’m surprised he has landed where he hsa

I mean he didn’t play here and it doesn’t seem like he was gonna play here. I figured high majors would take fliers on other guards and not one who’s suffered two knee injuries in 2 seasons. Udeh’s recruiting pedigree is way better and also he showed way more on the court so I’m not surprised that he has high major attention. Same with zuby
-
@jayballer67 For me, if you couldn’t make it on the floor with last year’s bench, you might no be a power five level player. We were successful last year solely based on the strength of our starters.
-
Udeh to Duke.
Glad he did not go to KSU.
-
@jayballer67 Well, to be fair everybody who has been healthy enough to suit up for KU has had a chance to prove himself in practice. Just a little window of opportunity, but hustle and enthusiasm has helped even walkons and other bench players advance to significant PT. Call it the Releford/Moody/Teahan/Lightfoot path to a Jayhawk legacy.
-
@AsadZ still hate it.
-
Kevin isn’t looking good playing at the combine.

Is Dook’s bench nicer than ours? SMH.
-
Doesn’t Duke already have a big SO/Jr center and another guy, even if Filipowski is at the 4?
-
Yeah he’s gonna sit behind Young lol

only one problem with that, as kyle was hurt most of the season last year kinda hard to make it on the floor when injured

Again with being hurt the majority It’s just awfully hard to judge when you haven’t actually seen him play. I haven’t seen him play either so I can’t say he is better or not, but I can’t just automatically say he isn’t capable of playing at this level. I’m glaad he did hook up with Syracuse and hope he does really well. Yet you can’t say Udeh showed way better–cause Kyle didn’t get the chance to show, - but it’s ok I for one thinks Kyle is gonna be just fine
-
Udeh will start there. Bet.
-
Reeves as a SO and Borden as a JR this year are both 7’+. Both know the system. Both are centers.Are they too slow? Or did they transfer?
-
@BShark r u being serious?

Yes. Flip will be at the 4.

probably they are LOADED & & deep, very talented players
-
From everything I saw/read/heard - - -was Udeh is the perfect fit at the five for them. - -A lot saying he will be the starter at the 5

Cam Spencer from Rutgers in the portal. Shall we?

Wonder if Timberlake and Morris would decommitt if we get another guard.

I’m hearing he’s going to be 3rd string. Where did you hear that?

Anything is possible now.
-

Morris is a much higher ceiling player, but I would take Spencer over Timberlake every time.

off their Boards, not going to have to be depended on for scoring they have PLENTY of guys that can do that, just looking for a space eater that can protect the rim some and rebound - -any - - - scoring just added bonus. Really happy for the kid

Spencer 94th % tile at catch and shoot

Olivier Nkamoua picking between WVU and Baylor. KSU out.
The KSU roster did not shape up nearly as well as I was expecting. Swung for the fences in the portal and really only landed Tylor Perry.

Perry is very good but yeah agree.
All these guys we’ve talked about going to other Big-12 schools. Has become a theme

They have two players that could be above replacement level in Perry and Tomlin. That’s basically it.

UNC signee Simeon Wilcher has asked for his release from his NLI. 4 star guard had a KU offer… I don’t know anything about him or why he’s leaving. Just posting in case this one gets a look

Wouldn’t hurt to take a look would it ?
-
@BeddieKU23 Slater and others saying there are rumors they lose another. The twitterverse is convinced it is Ian Jackson. The hottest of the rumors is that Jackson reclasses and is either a Kentucky Wildcat or a fighting Pitino.
