@drgnslayr I’m happy with where we are at the 5. Between KJ, Udeh, and Zuby I think that will be less of a question mark next year.
The 6-4 to 6-8 scorers/shooters are most important on my list of needs.
Back up point guard would be next. But I think Elmarko is hopefully in line for this role as well as a 1/2 combo guard scorer type.
Adams reclassifying shows we want that 3/4 wing scorer but we will see how he plays as a freshman.
I’d honestly just flip the order you have for priorities.

Our weakest spot was the 5 last year.
If we had a real 5 who could score back to the basket and rebound we would have had a superior defensive and rebounding team.
Instead… it’s almost like we wasted the great defense from Kevin and Juan because they had to do it all.
I’m not sold on any of our current choices in the paint. It simply isn’t fair to consider KJ a 5 and expect he can do what needs to be done. I don’t want to post critical material on KJ because he is busting his butt the best he can and has been admirable as a 6.6" post player.
Ernest and Zuby are soooo rough. Both could be really helpful in another year after this one. Meanwhile… we have next year to worry about. I don’t see either of these guys being a real back to the basket threat this coming year. And expect another year of foul trouble. Plus… an experienced post player would help Ernest and Zuby develop immensely! Right now, they have no experienced post players to learn from.
I don’t think people realize how much Kevin helped us. He was like a defensive monster man and helped weakside at all positions. Losing him creates a MONSTER DEFENSIVE HOLE! Who is going to make that up? Our rockstar freshman recruits?
KJ will get killed without Kevin as his defensive sidekick. Ernest and Zuby need another year (if we are lucky).
Having a low post scoring threat is desperately needed and low post defense is a must… and REBOUNDING!
Kevin… PLEASE STAY!

@BShark all I know is he’s in that group

Farmer is very smart you guys, definitely listen to him.
-
Zach confirmed in the portal as well.
-
@benshawks08 More announcements today I suspect.

Farmer yes , I do Trust Farmer with info a lot. So Farmer I ask another friend Beddie help me buddy - - right now I count six players out - - and four players coming in. I’m just thick with this stuff, not the brightest light in the house so need help. - -Does that mean as of this point right now we have TWO Scholi’s available for portal - and if Joe and or MJ leaves would give us THREE / - would appreciate your input bud
-
@jayballer67 Can only have 4 transfers in if all 6 leave. We were oversigned plus we are going down to 12 scholarships.

So then we are even board right now then? - right ?- - or see told you I was thick lol, if MJ or joe leave we would have ONE Scholi ? - that would screw with our portal and the players you were mentioning then wouldn’t it - -seein as how we have the four freshmen already ?
-
@jayballer67 Only Juan/Zuby/KJ/Udeh will be back. Then 4 FR. Gives you 4 transfers in.
-
Just spitballing here. I think Armando Bacot would be a really nice fit should he become available. He would fill a lot of needs: scoring, rebounding, consistent defense. Gives Udeh one more year to not have to be a DUDE
-
@FarmerJayhawk Lol chill
-
@BShark just spitballing! Vern is saying we’l take a big. I don’t agree with that but if we do might as well shoot for the top of the market
-

A million.
In order to get to 500 makes a day.
-
@BeddieKU23 talk about a guy who should hire a shooting coach. He’s a 3-ball away from having a good pro career.
Maybe not NBA, but he’d make a lot of money playing ball somewhere.

Matt said things were moving so fast or something along those lines hard to keep up, and said Zach could vey well joing them by the end of the day.- -gonna have ALOT , and I mean ALOT of new faces. - -hope these guys can be a little more athletic - ( portal ) - -and some help on the glass

Why not Oscar or Trace-Jackson if we are just spitballing. Is Bacot really even an option?
-
How many of our guys land at other big 12 schools ya think?
-
@benshawks08 well he just announced he was going back to UNC in the most amazing way possible lol https://twitter.com/iget_buckets35/status/1638618326132998144?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

@FarmerJayhawk Lol. That’s pretty good.

None this year.

Someone tell Slater it’s gif season. Where the gifs? I need hot goss

He’s been handling things a bit differently this year. But there have been a few gifs.
-
We will probably get some gifs, but 0 of our targets are even in the portal yet.
-
Any scuttlebutt on Walter Clayton Jr?
-
-
-
@benshawks08 Yeah but I’m telling you.
St Johns the favorite there, Ole Miss a dark horse.

We’re not going after any mid-major guards. The Yesufu experience scarred Bill more than any coronary ever could

I can confirm this.
-
Jeremy Case is that dude.
-
I did read that KU has made contact with the kid I mentioned, but looks like many , many , others have too. - -Graham Ike 6’9 forward from Wyoming rated as the # 12 in the portal - -19.5 ppg & 9’5 rpg
Also the # 5 in the portal SG Khalif Battle also said KU has made contact with him – - --listed probably the best bucket getter - Averaged 17.9 - - - some good options
-
I don’t want any part of Battle. Sounds like he pretty much got kicked off Temple
-
If you combine my reply to Slater with my recent tweet about a KU assistant coach, I trust you guys to figure out the 2nd guy.
-
If the smoke is real I like the Nick Timberlake addition.
-
oddly looks like Caleb Love in some photos
