Transfer Rumblings

@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

Behind Hunter he’s our next best recruit.
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.
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?
-
@Woodrow more likely than Marcus I suppose. Which is to say he can come in and hit shots, the rest is up to him and to what degree he’ll unpack is bags

Adding another guy for the 4 certainly helps mitigate risk at the very least.
-
Good and bad from talking to folks today. There’s growing optimism on KU’s end about Hunter, and likely the last spot comes from Zuby leaving.
-
@FarmerJayhawk to bad
-
Zuby! Nooooooo! i like Zuby.
-
Ouch
-
Sucks, but Zuby deserves to play.
-
@approxinfinity said in Transfer Rumblings:

The reality is that with both Udeh and Zuby on the roster, one was eventually going to have to transfer if they wanted significant playing time because neither one can play the 4.

Yeah, if we get Hunter the best path for Zuby next year is to redshirt if he sticks. That way he’d have two years post-Hunter and one post-Udeh.

Fight for your playing time. You know the old way. Jeesh this era

Well - -that’s good if things might be looking better for Hunter- -but then also - -DAM - -DAM - -DAM cause of Zuby possibly. dog gonnit, Zuby just seems to have a really great personality- -full of life-- hustles his ass off, just a freshman that is/was learning. I know nothing 100 % but if it does turn out -Dam I really liked Zuby -why couldn’t it be if it had to be Cj who from I hear is kinda un-coachable
-
@approxinfinity said in Transfer Rumblings:

Agree buddy - -if this comes to pass then we can’t blame the kid for leaving. I thought him and Udeh had a promising future here by committee if needed, however if getting Hunter then ya know Zuby needs to do what’s best for Zuby and wish him the best
-
@jayballer67 bigs vs guards. Zuby probably not thrilled with being a top 50ish recruit and getting demoted to 4th string.

Probably not guy , and you really can’t blame him. It’s just a crazy situation - -reading now and kinda still makes me nervous, over on the Kentucky Boards a lot of talk NOW Villanova being the leader possibly. - y they said off a tweet that it was most likely a Villanova - - Maryland - - KU race with UK being a slight dark horse-- -with it being Villanova and then Maryland both mentioned makes me feel more like playing closer to home might be weighing more heavily on this then what I thought
-
Health scare Bill is here and he does NOT give a shit. He wants another ring.
