If that did happen, I can just imagine Bill dusting off the ole floppy disk playbook for the hi-lo offense lol.
The trail 3 ball from Dickinson &/or Nelson
I love this.
-
I assumed Hunter/Grant was an either/or situation but of course you’d take both lol.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@Kcmatt7 100% agree. I think he’s an add 10/10 times regardless of what Hunter does because, like you said, he’s got lots of versatility. And would mitigate the negative of not getting a big wing to play the 4 since he can do some of those things. To be honest he might be a better 4 than Tyson if the shot comes around. Tyson is kind of a stiff.
Yes please jump on the hype train. Grant Nelson with a 38% trey ball & Dickinson at the 5.
Just give us the trophy now.
I don’t understand this thought that adding Dickinson just makes us a contender or final 4 lock. Juwan isn’t Bill Self obviously but he just played with two pros and didn’t even make the tournament.

I’m slowly but surely grasping that Hunter is taking his time , visiting countless Achools and yes - -he has that right , he has all the leverage and he can take his time , he deserves to take his time. However , now for some reason if Grant should want to visit and then end up wanting to come & Hunter still hasn’t decided- -then it’s time to move on from Hunter and take Grant, no hard feelings but if you have a player of what sounds like a very solid player , you can’t continue to pass and continue to wait on Hunter. - -Good luck to Hunter and you take Grant, cause you continue to wait , miss out on Grant and Hunter ends up elsewhere then that’s not good. - -Hope we can possibly get a visit from the kid

Does anyone actually think that? Juan Elmarko Timberlake KJ Hunter can win the league for sure but seems a second weekend ceiling type group
-
@FarmerJayhawk Gotta add more.
-
@jayballer67 Hunter’s going to decide before Nelson even has any visits scheduled. I bet he goes all the way to the wire on the draft process, so Nelson would be more a June add.
-
Working on some info, hopefully soon.
-
@TYOHawk Well this post had us adding Nelson AND Dickinson. I do not think adding Dickinson alone to the current roster is getting them a FF.
But if you add Nelson to that mix you get that Timme/Holmgren type of combo that Zags had a couple of seasons ago. I think that team could make a run.

My brother you liked Joe.
I’ve learned lol. And at least Joe played decent ball for a tournament team before we took him… Not to mention he literally had the best 3pt% catch and shoot in the nation. I don’t think many predicted he’d be a total complete bust right when we got him.
Primo off the bench is fine I suppose. But it is such a disappointing turn of events to go from Murrell/Ingram/Jones to Primo/Timberlake/Tyson or Mgbako.
The portal class has really gone from “wow holy shit we’re gonna be so good” to “we’ll be lucky to have single digit losses.”
Yeah, we had some rough tamper whiffs, then Bill slowplayed Ingram for Tyson so he better hit there.
Whiff on Dickinson and whiff on Tyson and we are in huge trouble. Both seem possible.
Cal or us for Tyson. If we can’t beat out Cal I can’t even.
Hey, don’t discount the lure of the beautiful Bay Area! (he says as he’s married to a Cal grad)

GREAT school. The basketball program otoh…
Depends on his priorities I’m sure.
-
Basketball at Cal was once proud, now both hoops and football are a mockery. They just don’t dedicate any resources.
But, new coach, new excitement. I’d like for Kansas to come back out and play another game! Many moons ago I recall seeing Keegan lumbering into the arena just as i was. ha.
-
Well I saw a tweet of TOS where Adam Zagoria/Zagsblog --says that Mackenzie Mgbako will visit 4 Schools -:- - - St Johns ( This Weekend ) - -Indiana , Louisville- - - & KU, - -so that might be a good thing huh ?

Won’t happen as long as California has that law that restricts state schools from traveling to states with pro discrimination laws.

Has anyone heard where things are at with the whole Primo Spears thing yet ?
-
Primo announcing tomorrow. Idk if I see him coming here if Tyson is on a visit today and we’re still waiting for hunter. Only two scholarships left.

True unless Cuffe ends up leaving yet and or Chris Johnson wants to de-commit like mentioned
Coach gonna have to work some Magic to get Tyson to come here and not commit to Cal.
-
Whooaaa , just saw Vernon tweeted that Coach Self had made an un-expected visit to Hunter yesterday
-
@jayballer67 Yes, I think that’s a good thing to say “hey u met with UK - we still good!”.
Wouldn’t have flown there if we were out of it.
Timberlake, Tyson and Hunter would be Self just setting KU apart. Need a fourth small guard maybe primo tomorrow maybe someone who pulls out of the draft.
If we get those guys we got a shot against uconn and Duke. Duke gonna be nasty with all their returners next year.

Ya Bill not going down without a fight. - -Hell who knows maybe up the NIL anti, I read where an KU inside said that KU would NOT be out bid in NIL for Hunter - - -who knows ?
-
Sounds like Primo Spears is going to FSU.
-
Definitely ok with this.
-
@BeddieKU23 Same. Just get Tyson and Dickinson.
-
@Woodrow said in Transfer Rumblings:

Concerns about the waiver from KU.
-
So for my own personal sanity , Sooo we pretty much in not so round about way told Spears and Morris it would be better if they found somewhere else- -without coming right out and saying we don’t want you here not that I disagree about taking them - it’s just that if we really not that interested then why have them visit ?
I mean if they contact and inquire and we are not that interested why not just come out and say ehh no sorry probably not worth your or our time to make a visit. - -don’t dangle them – just come out and say - -Thanks but no Thanks we are exploring other options - Save everybody’s time.
-
Man, idk. For my own sanity too I’ve tuned out the Morris stuff. Whatever comes out in the next 38 minutes is just whatever. We’ll deal.

I hear ya bud. -quick side note - -, not on basketball Farmer - but man did you see our Coach/football , Mr Class L ? - he was on ESPN pro draft - during game day portion – Great interview

I feel sick. Arterio is JACKED for it though.

Maybe it’s Chaminade so he can play in the Maui, live on the beach.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk or maybe the Texas penal league
-
yikes

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@rockchalkjayhawk or maybe the Texas penal league
Leavenworth needs players too.
-
Feels like a desperation take here.
-
-
Need to get 2 out of these 4…Tyson/Mgbako/Holland/Dickinson
-
@TYOHawk Holland doesn’t seem to be an option at this stage.
-
Matt Vernon tweeted 11 minutes ago Arterio Morris is a Jayhawk
-
also didn’t Morris leave Texas because he wanted more playing time and probably to be the lead guard?
-
@rcjhdraft said in Transfer Rumblings:

I just saw Vernons tweet Morris is a Jayhawk. - If that’s true screws us on Scholi avail unless we can get Cuffe to transfer or CJ

nasty business. Can we just sign a wing
-
Unpopular opinion, if this team doesn’t get Dickinson and a wing/Kevin to return. We will be lucky to finish in the top 3 of conference and likely get swept by KSU.

They get a wing and they’ll win the conference. Even with Udeh/KJ/Zuby playing the 5. Udeh showed elite flashes of being a rim running lob threat and defender.

Crazy take given what we know of KSU’s roster.
-
Morris: ugh.
High on his potential, below low on his purported behavior.
I can see the picket signs now in front of the Fieldhouse…
-
so given we have one scholarship left and it’s being held for hunter. Do we just pray that Tyson doesn’t commit to cal over the weekend? Or put the full court press on mgbako if hunter doesn’t come.
-
@rcjhdraft more will shake loose in May/early June
-
So with Morris comittment, kind of Screws us of any chance with Tyson doesn’t it ? - – unless Cj or Cuffe move on - -this only leaves us presently with ONE Scholi and un questionably that would be for Hunter-pretty well settles it for Tyson to Cal looks like unless we can free up anothr spot.
Thing I really don’t understand is thought Morris wanted to play more on ball PG - and going into the off Season/portal we really didn’t need another PG , doesn’t El Marko play some point ? - if he does then you have Juan and El Marko ,Now Morris ? -not enough balls for PG if tht’s the case
