@BShark He’s gonna be our starting 2 guard and play some 1. Self pitched a Frank/Graham ball handling duties im sure.
Heck Kev and jwill often brought it up when Juan was playing all those minutes in games with minimal days rest.
I agree on starting 2 guard. Check my breakdown post above that one.
My bad - we are right on. I think Marcus Adams might surprise some people. Any word early on from the staff,?
-
Well I just saw where Mackenzie Mgbako will be on Campus this week for his visit, Now I fully realize this will never happen but man could you imagine this line up - they had it post by a guy named Sam Lance Hoops-- said KU’s dream line up :- - Mercy :
Pg -Dejuan Harris , 2 Guard , -Elmarko Jackson , - -3 , Mackenzie Mgbako - -4 KJ Adams - -& at the 5 Hunter Dickinson
Coming off the Bench :- - -A Morris , -Timberlake , - -E Udeh - -& Marcus Adams . -Jumpin gee hossie toads - -that would be so sweet.
Guess Coach told Mackenzie they would love to fit him in Gradys spot from last year. 6"8 -Average 16.3 & 9.2 rpg on the team he played for-- how nice it would be - -BUT either Kyle would have to go - -or like been talk about Cj leaving oh well

Unfortunately it’s best to wait on word from early practices to really try and get a good pulse on things. That’s when I expected Gradey to be OAD.

If I were to guess what happens right this second, Marcus Adams gets the Oubre treatment early. Will need to really bring the effort on D to see the floor over KJ.

I don’t think he will ever see the floor “over” KJ tbh. Should get some minutes though, unless we add another stud from the portal.

One of the main reasons I wasn’t head over heels with the Hunter pursuit. I don’t wanna lose Zuby or Udeh.
-
looks like Arkansas might be recruiting Tyson and also recruiting his brother for football
-
@rcjhdraft That sucks hope we can do the same. Behind Hunter he’s our next best recruit.
-
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:

Don’t think our staff would agree with that. I think you can write him off fwiw.
We definitely aren’t in a spot in football to waste a roster spot either.
-
Arkansas has support staff tracking newborn babies for future portal recruiting
-
@BShark He’s 6-7, defender, can rebound and shoot from the outside plus attack
All proven in a real conference
He’s better than Timberlake and Morris and fills the JW or Kev production better than Morris and Timberlake

If his people are set on tying him with his brother, good luck at North Texas buddy. KU can’t afford it in football.
-
@BShark Yeah I get that. I just meant player wise he’s the second best to Hunter we are recruiting.
Wish Cuffe would land elsewhere or cj’s people would see he isn’t going to get minutes so we could snag Holland or Mgbako

Yeah seeing him come out of the visit wanting to make more visits instead of committing to us or cal was interesting. I guess Mgbako on deck

I heard during the visit that it wasn’t going well. Almost never happens. Not sure how the reporters will handle talking about this one but it did not go well.

Your right can’t afford it and won’t. Also think Bil would not do it anyways - NEXT.
-
@BShark Sort of backs up Tyson being a “character” chatter that was going around.
I never thought Tyson was a great option personally. Bill is going to get someone though. Either we miss on Hunter or a 4th scholly is popping free.

p personally feel we have a better chance at Mgbako then Holland. I think Holland wants to stay closer Suth, he is from Texas I think wasn’t he–another Reason he chose Texas along with Beard in the 1st place I think Mgbako would be a nice fit if we don’t land Hunter which I just can’t get a read on still think 50/50 at best.
Read off Kentucky oard a Villanova insider said Kentucky was out , probably saying that because of him being Villanova lol – but he said Kentuky was out and it was down between Villanova & KU. - -Anyone know is Hunter still going to take the Gonzaga visit ?

Yikes. Guess he wasn’t very coachable. Well hopefully hunter pops soon so we can swing on one of those 5 star wings
-
@jayballer67 if UK is out I like our chances.
I’d take Hunter but then not sure on Mgabko as we have Marcus Adams at 6-8 and a shooter already.
I’d take Holland but no clue about his recruiting. I don’t even know why he decommited from ut.
-

Raising the price of the brick probably. Texas is still an option but listening heavily to Gleague and Arkansas.
-
@BShark Holland fits with Arkansas another ridiculous athlete
Bummer the Tyson visit was bad. I still think he’d been great. Wonder attitude wise what the issue is.

He’s pretty soft is what Tech fans are saying. When you look at his tools, the production really should be higher if he had a great work ethic.
He could definitely have been good for us if he would have ended up here and also took to Self’s coaching. I think he wants more of a “players coach” at this point.

Bossi said that his family wanted more promises and assurances regarding role. Guess they saw how Dillion Mitchell and arterio played this season and didn’t feel great about Texas and one and done.
-
@rcjhdraft Well besides Hunter I doubt Bill is promise any freshman much. Sounds like a no go

Bill Self can probably do a much better job of selling a starting role and path to the NBA than Rodney Terry did.
-
I’d say you can pretty safely write off Holland. Don’t think we are a real option. Same for KSU and Georgetown.

Arkansas vs G League bidding war is my guess. G League needs a splash signing.
-
Mgbako on the other hand, KU is very much an option.

the recruiting competition for him definitely seems easier than for holland
-
@BShark He and Marcus are like the same player right?
-

Mgbako is a fair bit better. Similar archetype though and we can use depth at that spot either way.
-
Might as well get a better version now of Adams, but makes us even younger
-
Marcus Adams seems talented but his competition looked so bad when watching his highlights. Like he was going up against a bunch of kids
-
He hasn’t played a ton of high level hoops competition which is why he was under the radar. I think we can assume some adjustment/growing pains there but the ceiling for him is exciting, if he sticks around (and there’s no guarantee from some of his comments he will).
-

Yeah I didn’t wanna be that guy but his competition looks very bad in most of the clips. Talented player and his tools pop but his comp looks awful.
-
@BShark I think there may be a real chance with Mgbako (clearly Adidas got involved there). Would need to see a visit date for KU before I believed the Holland hype.
-
Good vibes on Mbako. Depending on who you ask he’s either all talent and uncoachable or a future All Star
-
@FarmerJayhawk I will say, his style of play doesn’t exactly seem like a “Bill Self” guy.

I know he said Mgbako was suppose to be on Campus this week. I know you was talking about Holland when you was talking about wanting to see a visit date, just saying about Mgbako - Self told him he see him in Brady’s spot. Mercy if we could accidentally pull Mgbako & Hunter Whoaaa
-
Was reding of the Kentucky site this morning, a journalist or some Kentucky publicist by the name of Tristan Pharis was reporting that Huntr took his Villanova visit Friday , and was now done with his visits. - -Guess the Gonzaga mention was just that a mention , as guess he isn’t taking that visit.
Now done with visits and evaluating his options and probably decide within a week. - -This guy said that was not getting any UK Vibes. - A lot of Kentucky fans still thinking he ends up at KU , so now they starting the traditional talking trash about how he won’t be a NBA player, how he just plods down the court - which to a part is true , not the fastest guy in the world. Talked about how Cal wouldn’t let him shoot the 3 any way - -talking about how they want Oscar back because now that Dillingham is there they an tell Oscar that teams won’t be able to triple team him and such. -Find out soon enough now I reckon. - Raised my % a little for us landing Hunter went from 50/50 --to 60/40 lol

Big Joe almost.
-
Mgbako can shoot at least.
-
How does a visit go poorly? That sounds like the player was an extremely poor fit, if he can’t handle being pampered and promised the world.

Is he someone that would contribute next year for sure?
