2023 Transfer Portal
-
@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.

What’s he not doing well @Crimsonorblue22 ?
-
@AsadZ said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
Udeh to Duke.
Glad he did not go to KSU.
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

@benshawks08 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@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.
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

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

@rockchalkjayhawk scoring

Cam Spencer from Rutgers in the portal. Shall we?
13ppg and that golden ticket 40%+ from 3.

Stat stuffer. Would take

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.

Love to have him, doubt he’d look here. If Self adds a post player, it won’t be a high profile player looking for minutes because KU doesn’t have many minutes to offer. I would guess a younger, developmental type who could conceivably be fine with 10ish minutes per game next season.

Pardon my ignorance folks.
My question is on Hunter Dickinson.
If he is a legit footer who can shoot treys, why isn’t he an NBA prospect?
-
I haven’t really seen him play @AsadZ , but here’s what the scouts say:
The Michigan transfer Dickinson is a load to handle in the paint. He’s a throw-back center who throws his weight around inside and also has a really soft touch around the basket.
Establishes position well, using his big frame to shield defenders and carve out space in the paint.
Has a really good touch from inside and from mid range. A lefty who can score with either hand (shot nearly 60% from the field as a freshman).
Plays a mature game and makes good decisions with the ball. Knows how to move the ball out of double-teams. Becoming a very high level passer could be his ticket to the NBA.
An older prospect for his class.
Doesn’t have great speed or agility and will struggle to guard in space at the next level.
-
Other sites say he’s reluctant to shoot from deep. Turnover prone, makes bad decisions on offense.

Athleticism is an issue. His game would be a much better fit in the NBA about 20 years ago. Nowadays, a team that drafts him would hope they’re getting a version of Nikola Jokic because their games are similar. Jokic was a second round pick so Denver obviously didn’t expect Jokic to develop into a multiple time MVP.
-
Kaluma to KSU…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 is fitness an issue with Hunter at all? I think i read recently that Jokic lost weight and got in prime condition and that was how he made the leap to superstar level, but he was already an all star at that point.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 On the other spectrum we have Dok, I love him but is he suitable for today’s NBA

Conditioning isn’t an issue for Dickinson. He averaged 32 mpg each of the past two seasons.

Doke’s game doesn’t translate very well into the modern NBA.

Simeon Wilcher ends up at St. John’s.
Rick had a fantastic offseason. Lots of scoring on that team. They will compete for the Big East title imo.

UNC fans were saying from the start that Pitino tampered. Interesting.
-
@BShark lmao I mean how could you accuse Rick Pitino of breaking a rule? He would never.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’m pretty sure he’ll be coaching for another century. he’s a vampire.
-
Rick Pitino always reminds me of Al Pacino in The Devil’s Advocate.
