@FarmerJayhawk I will say, his style of play doesn’t exactly seem like a “Bill Self” guy.

@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.
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.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
Good vibes on Mbako. Depending on who you ask he’s either all talent and uncoachable or a future All Star
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.

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
-

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.

I definitely get this take, but if Dickinson is here for 2 years Zuby wouldn’t see the floor until he was a Senior. I would understand him leaving.

HEATING UP
ya buddy, throw the kitchen sink at him- - -if we could land him and Hunter both - - MERCY
-
Get prepared for board wars over starting Mgbako or KJ at the 4 lol
-
As of a couple weeks ago Zuby was just bummed he got injured and that is what he blames for his lack of playing time down the stretch. - paraphrasing what he said. Not disgruntled in the least. I would hate to see him pushed out the door.
Edit - would love to see 5th year Zuby!

Boy If we could land Mgbako I’d be ready - -what a great delima

Don’t think Zuby would be pushed out tbh, Self would welcome him back.

Poor phrasing - Recruited over to the point of not getting any playing time and thus running for the door.
Only playing one big at a time severely limits minutes for the post players, but it’s had the best results.

Where does Marcus Adams fit if you add Mgbako?
Roster construction is odd, but also very talented? (assuming you land Hunter and Mgbako).
-
@Kcmatt7 backup 3/4 I guess? Not a lot of true wings to choose from
-
Bill may need to just go 2-3 zone with the roster he’s building. Boeheim makes a FF run with KU’s roster plus Mgbako and Dickinson lol.

@BShark prine example of what I was saying earlier
-
Might be a moot point. Sounds like Maryland got him.

Guy wants to stay home can’t judge too much. That board will be insufferable though. On to mgbako

Anyone who says they know is BS’ing you. Nobody’s been told anything yet.

ya I ws afraid of that from the start i thought he was Maryland. Staying in Big 10 --closer to home - it SUCKS fricken Maryland . Maryland boards al over this
-
Maryland? Are you talking about Dickinson or ?

Waiting for someone to chime in as I’m confused as well. Thinking the tea leaves read md for Hunter which would suck.
Maybe get Tyson and Mgbako and have the best wings in America with Juan, unselfish Elmarko and Morris.
We’d be long, athletic and can defend

Ya was talking about Dickinson going to Maryland. - Sounds like it is all done just got to put the wrap around it. not sure exactly when he will announce looks like towards evening possibly today. When I seen it was down to or rumor had it down to Maryland - -Villanova - & Ku I thought ut oh - - The sway of playing closer to home was jsut to much whether we provide bigger NIL or not.
There was all kind of talk late yesterday about Maryland be the leader and pretty much DONE

If Hunter does end up at Maryland then there becomes a HUGE question for us this year. - Where does our scoring come tom ? - We are going to have a real struggle to score enough to win games. Jalen , Gray , & Kevin all gone which that was the majority of our point production. Who fills those voids ? - -Juan ? -no way does his production increase that much . - KJ ? - -Nope. - -Udeh ? - - not unless he makes a MAJOR jump. - - -Sure I mean Timberlake will score some - - Morris will score some - -BUT are their points gonna match Jalens ? - -Gradys ? -I don’t think so , no on a consistent basis anyways , I just think unless we can still find a proven legit scorer , that guy that’s going to go out and get you buckets - -we might be in trouble

with the way things turning out with Hunter , we really could use him - -But it says on the tweet - -still more likely he staying in the draft , that doesn’t help

on sam vecenie’s recent draft board he was 73. My guess is if he gets any type of guarantee(two way contract etc) he’ll declare. The process for him will also take a while since he’s going to the combine
-
If we are reaching out to others 5’s as @jayballer67 said - that doesn’t ensure confidence. I don’t think Hunter has said anything so we are handling it well still touching base with other 5’s to be safe.
