https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status/1648730380235571204?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQYou knew. I wonder if Tyson changes this at all.
I doubt it? Let’s see how the visit schedule shakes out. First one to commit gets the spot. I’d love both but I don’t think we have room unless we whiff elsewhere. Though if you used Ingram as the secondary ballhandler you could run Juan Battle Tyson Ingram Dickinson out no problemo. I’m a broken record on this but adding Ingram just makes your options open up so much more. You don’t necessarily need another guard with Juan so you can play 3 wings at a time.
Bill is livin in the portal, I have no complaints with our real targets tbh.
-
@BShark Purely from a basketball perspective I’m happy as long as they get 2 of the wings/guards they’re on right now (sans Spears who I never really felt like was a KU level player in the first place). Getting 3 of them would be huge. My guess is Bill is pitching Morris on starting at the 2, Battle/Tyson at the 3 and Ingram at the 4 in a "point forward’ role.
I’m also getting good vibes on the Dickinson front…
-
Hunter is going to make it to Lawrence. Having an apples to apples comparison of KU and Maryland will be eye opening. My gut says we still get a 4th spot. Idk exactly how (maybe just eat the penalty in like 2026) but I think we make room for 4 if we need.

Spears is a Seminole.

I’ve wondered about the possibility of kicking that can down the road. It’s wholly up to the staff, right?
-
@benshawks08 I believe so. It would be weird for the NCAA to tell KU how to construct its roster but they’ve done weirder things.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’d hope this year is unique in the need for scholarships. As long as this isn’t the new normal, I’d rather get all we can this year and hope for a little more stability in the next couple of years.
-
@benshawks08 same. The covid recruiting era is ending so hopefully fewer whiffs on our end. The portal is definitely the new normal but I’d like to add 3-4 new guys per year instead of 8

Yeah 8 really is too much. Took a large amount of massive whiffs and failed development to have happen.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Or even just have the 4 (5 if you count cuffe) a little more spread out position wise. We have a starting point guard and then 3 guys who we really don’t feel super comfortable starting at the 5. That has to be some kind of anomaly in the Self era. Maybe 2008 is comparable?
-
@benshawks08 yeah in retrospect not great to have all three starting wings leave at the same time. At first they thought Dick was probably a two year guy. Oops.

Very happy to see us showing interest in Battle, no brainer if they need to expand the board.
So Dickinson visits tommorow
Ingram visits next week
Morris is currently visiting.
Tyson has interest/KU has interest. Could see a visit soon? Perhaps this weekend?
Battle reporting interest.
Spears visit next week (still TBD it sounds)
Hart is down to 4 & will announce Friday (KU included) but sounds like he’ll go elsewhere.
Timberlake to announce to UConn this week.
Ya so my preference - just me - a Coach with a career Couch Coaching potato head but my preference from this list please would be : Dickinson , - Tyson/Morris , Ingram - -yes that’s 4 - but if we can coax Kyle to go then we have 4 available. - - Let the games begin
Just 5 hours before this you were totally against Morris.
-
Timberlake
️
-
-
Hopefully more additions on the way
-
If they take morris then cuffe has to be gone right?
-
@rcjhdraft Cuffe has to be gone without Morris
Assuming we take Ingram, Tyson and Hunter this Timberlake addition throws a wrench in things.
If Cuffe won’t transfer I see Zuby on his way out when Hunter commits.
-
@kuballin10 Out on Tyson. Multiple reasons. Happened fast.
-
@rcjhdraft my bad per @BShark you are right if we are out in Tyson.
Hunter, Ingram and Timberlake - not too shabby
Do need Cuffe to transfer to get Morris like u said
-
Timberlake more of a 3 than 2. Still hard after Morris, Ingram, Dickinson
-

Call your shot who transfers out then?
-
@kuballin10 oy, under the strong assumption we get all 3, I think it has to be Cuffe. But we don’t absolutely NEED to jettison someone either.
-
@FarmerJayhawk take scholly reduction the following year of 2 instead of 1 this year and 1 next?
-
@kuballin10 exactly. Only has to be 3 over 3 years so could take 2 in 25 and 1 in 26 or even all 3 in one year.
-
-
Might have a bombshell soon… I am digging…
-
@kuballin10 just did some playing around, it works since Timberlake for sure comes off the books for 24-25, and likely Dickinson if you get him. We’ll for sure have at least one transfer out (idk who, but someone will. Cuffe and/or Johnson?) and bring back everyone else and poof you’re at 11 with a very strong roster.
-
@BShark About to message you with what I just heard.

and yet if this is who the staff wanted who am I to challenge , so whats your point ? Just because this is not somebody I would take doesn’t mean thats how it’s playing out lmao

@FarmerJayhawk let’s go then!!!
Timberlake Morris Hunter Ingram

It doesnt matter. Thought you said it was your ‘preference’. Just thought it was funny how quickly it flipped. As Jaybate would say, no malice intended.

-
Bona declared while keeping his eligibility. I don’t see him going back to UCLA with how it ended there with him. Could be in play if Hunter is stupid.
-
Chris Johnson has removed a lot of KU stuff from his Instagram the day after Eric Bossi tells Kansas fans not to worry about the 4th scholarship opening up. Coincidence???!
-
@BShark He can shoot it right? I think you or Farmer said though he’s struggled as of late and didn’t think he’d get playing time
-
Hunter to visit Kentucky April 23-25th. Non ideal.

26% from three this year, lol.

they’d take McDowell over him? I’d still take both over cuffe handcuffing the roster for the next two years not doing anything
-
@rcjhdraft Well, McDowell is the better basketball player so probably. I don’t have anything concrete on processing CJ but just don’t rule it out.
-
Not moved by either one of them tbh.
-
@TYOHawk I can get that, but of the two if you are going to process one you’d go with Chris I strongly feel.
Good update from Swain on Arterio just now.

Isn’t Oscar T open to returning if his NBA prospects aren’t what he wants? Wonder what he thinks about that?
-
Is CJ the guy that is on the backup point guard on a loaded hs team?
-

Yeah, it did not go well for him at all this year.
-
@BShark So is that an indictment of CJ or is there just unreal talent on the team? It’s not like KU will be less talented…
-
@dylans He’s bad. 35% from the floor, 26% from three.
-
@BShark
Not a good year. I feel bad for the guy. Had it all coming together as a jr only to have your sr gear go to
