Transfer Rumblings

We really about to see a lineup of Juan/Morris/Timberlake/Mbako/Dickinson with KJ, Elmarko, Adams and Udeh off the bench?

Absolute savagery from Bill if he lands these last two

what a dam line up have that starting 5 and then the bench Udeh comin off - - With ElMarko Udeh & KJ off the Bench- - WOW

Juan

Morris

Mgbako

Nelson

Hunter

Timberlake, Elmarko, KJ, Marcus and Udeh off the bench

There’s no way but that’d be a whole new level

You’d have to lose someone else still to add Nelson. But there will be a ripple effect if we add Hunter.

We will unfortunately big Zuby it appears

ya I hate that but guess we got to do what we got to do

Can imagine Ermann is looking for a KU voodoo doll right about now. What a rabbit hole he led his fans down, much worse then the Dotson saga

Gorilla72

@kuballin10 - other sites think the ballroom is in Michigan. Ergo, Bill’s quick trip last weekend. Just a guess.

rockchalkjayhawk

Whew. Man, bring on a wing player and let’s call it a day!

jayballer67

Let the countdown begin - - Hopefully , --Come on down Mackenzie – hopefully good news tomorrow

kuballin10

Looks like he’s taking the IU visit @jayballer67 but KU is still confident. We shall see.

If one of our bigs transfers out and we land Nelson (watched his tape last night - my word) or some other stud “almost” nba guy - it’s like the monstars in space jam

BShark

@kuballin10 Yeah Nelson is a pro.

True , yet every thing I’ve seen and or heard is chances are pretty high that Nelson stays in the NBA draft

kuballin10

@BShark Aka he isn’t pulling out of the draft?

kuballin10

@jayballer67 same but doors never closed until it’s official lol

kjayhawks

Do we still have one scholarship left with Kyle leaving or our we full?

patoh3

We have 1 still available.

FarmerJayhawk

Now make it 2

rockchalkjayhawk

Nooooo! Poor Zuby. Say it ain’t so.

FarmerJayhawk

And don’t rule out 3

BeddieKU23

LOL

RockChalkinTexas

Just heard about Zuby. Makes sense but I hope Hunter stays HEALTHY.

Woodrow

Why would Udeh transfer? Makes no sense.

RockChalkinTexas

@Woodrow I thought Zuby was transferring because he would be BEHIND Ernest coming off the bench, after Hunter committed. Both can’t be going???

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

I’m hoping this is referencing CJ more-so than Udeh

FarmerJayhawk

@kuballin10 I mean screw it why not 4? At this point the only thing that would really surprise me would be Juan leaving lol*

*AND THAT’S NOT HAPPENING TO BE CLEAR

rockchalkjayhawk

SOB, I can’t ever remember a roster clear out like this before.

kuballin10

@FarmerJayhawk Juan and Kj stay all others leave would be insane.

Get Mgbako and 2 stud late nba draft guys

I love the portal and KU seems like the hot name for portal guys. It’s better than the unknown high school kids who still gush over uk and Duke. KU is on the rise very obvious. Bill gonna get to 5 like coach K and leave us with 7 ncaa titles.

If Bill wins a title this upcoming year then that’s 2/3 years since the portal……it is almost not fair

RockChalkinTexas

Just saw this:

FarmerJayhawk

@kuballin10 good tracker here. The portal indicators aren’t up to date (e.g. Nelson not shown as in, but he is) but a good list anyhow https://www.rookiescale.com/early-entrant-tracker/

Woodrow

Rumor is that Udeh could be on the way out as well

BShark

Churn churn churn. Think we could see a HS guy ask out as well.

dylans

DaJuan, Udeh, & KJ sticking around still? Or is it gonna be a 100% new roster? Wow

The stratification of talent with the portal is wild. Covetous

AsadZ

I like the idea of getting a few new good players via portal to improve the team but I wish mass exodus of current players can be avoided.

My point is that we still should be able to see some players go through the development and growing process every year, freshmen to upperclassmen.

I am particularly disappointed in how Cuffe’s departure was handled, wish coach would not have called out his name in public.

rockchalkjayhawk

The big question is how quickly will this roster be able to gel? Almost feels like a fresh Kentucky lineup every year.

kjayhawks

Would be shocked if Udeh left, Zuby was likely 3rd in line. He has a ton of upside and will be a good player in a few years but he ain’t gonna do much at the power 5 level at this point.

Udeh was a McDonald’s all American top 30 recruit, it’s hard to tell those guys “hey for the first two years of your college career you’re gonna average 10 minutes a game”. That being said if we can sell him on like how Donovan clingan was used for uconn this season then I’m all for it

Could you imagine how some of the fan base would feel if say Doke and or McCormack were recruited over from portal when they were here , and not given the chance to develop like they did during here time here. - Doke & McCormack both were pure crap their freshmen years here. - If Self would of more or less shown them the door one way or another of making sure they were out and forced out , we would of never got to see the finished product - -their development from Freshman yrs till their finish - -

Disagree there. Think he could be a decent rim runner and rebounder if he finds the right program. This isn’t a Cuffe situation where the guy just isn’t good enough imo.

Zuby had beaten Udeh in the rotation before Zuby hurt his foot. He should have plenty of P5 interest.

kjayhawks

@Texas-Hawk-10 notice I said at this point, how much money you wanna bet he’s doesn’t go to a power school and start. He will be good in a few years, he’s just not great now. I’d highly recommend working on your reading comprehension buddy.

approxinfinity

@kjayhawks this isnt necessary. Lets stay civil?

mayjay

@kjayhawks All he said was “He should have plenty of P5 interest.” Nothing about starting “at this point.”

Not sure why you felt he was not comprehending what you wrote.

FarmerJayhawk

One day without a commit and people get testy!

Bosthawk

Question since I truly can’t keep up… and it would really blow if Udeh transfers. Is Jaylon Tyson still in play for KU?

think he’s off the table and going to Cal

Bosthawk

Ok, I did google him and saw that he is predicted to go to Cal…but- why hasn’t he announced? What’s he waiting for?
