Get prepared for board wars over starting Mgbako or KJ at the 4 lol
Boy If we could land Mgbako I’d be ready - -what a great delima

@dylans said in Transfer Rumblings:
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!
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.
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
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.
This guy better be Shaq in blue chips man…

@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.

From what I have heard and seen hunter is suppose I guess to announce today sometime - -just not sure when
-
Don’t think anyone truly knows where HD is committing. Or even if he is committing. Seems like he likes this attention so much that he might never commit anywhere! lol
-
I just hope the insiders are right that this ends today.

Yeah I really don’t need another day of this.
Mgbako vibes are IMMACULATE however.
-
@jayballer67 - HCBS isn’t done yet….
-
My guess right now is we add Mgbako to what we have and are done. If we somehow get Hunter, things might get crazy.

I think he loves the attention - -the drama, I know a lot of people ove on the Kentucky board say he just playing games, also agree. lot sayin way people talk they almost like he is the 2nd coming that he ain’t ALL THAT. ya he is good but he knows he is, I think this is some of the negative things they were talking about him- -bottom line might just be trouble he be a black hole, you throw the ball in it’s not coming back – i dunno , if he commits here- -he commits here -IF NOT - OH WELL - he doesn’t maybe Zuby stays.
Like another poster aid you listen to Villanova people they think he is coming there - - he is a lock. - You listen to /Maryland people he is a lock - -you listen to KU people insiders say it’s a done deal he is coming to KU. -Like he said is it possible for ONE plaer to lead three different schools to the final four in the same year roflmao. - Just get the dam thing over with , go where the hell ever just go

Mgbako would be a nice pick up for sure. - -Him Timberlake and Morris I’ll take it. I know Self was wanting a 4 - -a wing - - and a 5 at the beginning of this - if we tak these three- -work the 5 by committee we be good to go
-
Under Armor vs Adidas. Interesting.
-
We are at a real disadvantage if we don’t land Hunter in a way. We need to make room where Duke and others don’t. I really want Grant Nelson, but I’m not sure his timeline and ours matchup enough that we will get in on him.
Would require him to basically commit to us in the next week.
-
Heard good things on KU’s end this morning buuuut again nobody really knows.
-
@Kcmatt7 I want him as well. Have to think they’ll add a big yet.

Hunter? I’ve heard Bill won’t be outbid. We’ll see…
-
Be interesting to see if Mackenzie takes his other two visits - - Indiana & Louisville - read where his visit here went fantastic
-
Will not be today on Hunter. Or tomorrow.
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

whys that ? - - did he come out and say ?
-
Seems like Hunter wants to continue the drama
-
@jayballer67 nah just taking his time - he’s fine

-
Bill is here folks.
-
I mean is it really negative recruiting if it’s the truth?!
-
yeah the fit concerns are objectively facts lol. Ant Wright(big 10 guy who has Michigan connections) said he believes the four best fits for what hunter is looking for (championship and potential legacy) are Kansas, Villanova, Georgetown and a possible return to Michigan since he knows everything about the place. Kentucky’s guards are more focused on getting to the nba and Maryland already has Julian Reese and Donta Scott in their front court.
-
Kentucky writer, so of course he has to frame it like that.
-
On and on we go…
-
It appears no one knows….and also 1-2 transfers out if Hunter comes is significant
-

Yeah I’d rather just add Mgbako and be done but I’m not Bill.

Does he want to get to 4 scholarships even if hunter doesn’t come?
-
If you’re basically guaranteed 2 years of Dickinson, the transfers out may be worth it. I’d hate to lose guys with some major upside like Zuby/Udeh but the reality is that there were at least 6 or 7 rim-runner type of bigs that hit the portal this year who could have filled in for them if not been better.
On the flip side, there weren’t very many P5 post guys who can get you 20 and 10 most nights. I get the value proposition Bill is going for.
