@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.

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

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?
-

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

boy I’m with you - - I’m afraid this commit pretty well seals Tyson to Cal - -unless we can get Kyle out the door or CJ
-
@TYOHawk we will be super young in several key spots. Udeh has potential for sure but unless he turns in to TRob over the summer you’re gonna be disappointed in him quick. In the new land scape of college athletics I don’t think you can develop talent because it won’t stick around long enough. If this team would stay completely together for 2 years they could cut down the nets. But I’d bet good money they don’t.
-
@BShark Tang seems to be a better judge of talent than Self at this point unfortunately. We had team full of whiffs last year.

Yeah I’m seeing cal fans say he should be deciding shortly after his visit. If that’s true then I doubt he’s picking us because all the messaging has been that we’re waiting for hunter
-
@kjayhawks if anyone other than KSU was willing to look past Keyontae’s heart and… other… issues they would’ve been horrible

Ha. Cal has fans?
I’d be shocked. they get about 100 people per game (in my neck of the woods).

Will we be that young outside of the potential bench? Timberlake/Harris/Dickinson are tenured veteran guys. KJ played in a lot of big games as well.

I have to say I’m shocked Bill was the guy to take Morris.
He better pan out and be a saint while he’s here.

Yea, with all the NCAA stuff that is about to hit (and has hit), this is not a great time to have a guy like that on the roster. PR nightmare next season potentially.
I guess the saving grace is that maybe it’s just us diehard fans that really notice the fine print stuff about Morris, etc.

Surely you got to be joking with that statement right lol. - -Tang better judge of talent ? - - -Nowell was already there & Johnson are the only two that you could begin to compare talent- lte’s wait and see how Tang has done with recruits after 20 Seasons - -not ONE. to say Tang is a better Judge of Talent the our HOF Coach roflmao. - Ok , Ok , I’ll be all right . Tell ya what I’ll take Self - -You take Tang , let’s play best of 7-10 whatever and see who comes out on top - -
-
I don’t think I’ve ever been so disappointed to see us land a recruit/transfer, let alone a former 5 star. To be fair I don’t know the kid or the situation extensively, but ugh… def not excite about rooting for someone accused of his deeds. I guess this gets filed as one of those moments we trust Bill and the staff! I must admit I was kinda excited about the possibility of that Quaker entering the portal (Dingle), but this seems to seal that deal. There is still a lot that can and will change before June. Hopefully we get some good news early next week!
Sorry if this has become a sore subject lol, just letting my feelings out in my safe Jayhawk Tree (before I go back to lurking ^^)

Sooo , if we stay with One Scholi and we do happen to land Hunter- - then who is our four guy ?

Love KJ to death , great energy, yet mercy the kid is gonna have to bust his ass over the summer to develop some kind of an outside shot and work on his rebounding habits - -no way is he a 4 right now - hoping nothing but the best for KJ - work , work , work.

I hear ya, but without adding a SF or another wing that’s all I see. He has proven he can defend multiple positions and he is a strong, hard working kid. Similar numbers to when Kevin Young was here. Effort doesn’t always show up on box scores, but you always need that guy. Hunter can keep the defense honest to a point, and if you ever needed Udeh in there you could swap to Marcus for his shooting. Just can’t have KJ and Udeh in at the same time.

thing is we need scoring from every position , because think w might havt trouble scoring because I just really don’t think we end up with Hunter- I wish to GOD we could but I just feel 50/50 at best on him - so KJ has to score got put in the work if he is gonna be at the 4
