Transfer Rumblings
-
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

Don’t think so given the other guard rumored is much better but we’ll see… I’m digging.
-
@TYOHawk If he wants to come off the bench, yea bring him on.

Not a likely addition, after asking around.
-
@Kcmatt7 @TYOHawk New info. Sounds like the guard will only happen if a certain assistant coach isn’t retained by the new head coach at a school. Belief is said head coach wants an all new staff of his choosing. So things look good. If he portals, it’s KU.
-
I like portals.
-
Bossi did say Timberlake and Battle are legit targets. That’s all for now

Hmmm, I thouht had been mentioned that Ku was not going to add any Mid Major this yr after the Joe experiment - -Towson ?
-
I’ll believe it if it happens.
-
Things are fluid and nothing is official if the right fit comes around. Both are quality players worth looking into.
All he said was they were targets. Everyone else in the world is also targeting them
-
Loooots of stuff to play out. KU will get real guys.
-
No any new words about Joe , MJ , and Kyle yet ?
-

Expect all three to leave. No official word yet. Some exit meetings still happening.

Mercy All 3 ? - - - I thought one might stick it out - not sure which one - -well Joe or MJ. - Kyle I was 100 % sure on him and pretty much Mj just wasn’t sure on Joe
-
@BShark Would be curious if Cuffe waits to transfer until after the barnstorming event? Not sure the amount of cash that brings these guys. Not sure if they’d be allowed to do it once already in the portal or not?
Maybe that has nothing to do with it too.
-
@Kcmatt7 Would not worry about that at all.
-
@BShark I don’t think I’m worried about it. I’m just saying I don’t know if that matters from a timing perspective.

-
@approxinfinity Not when portals connect to a Hell dimension.
-
@BShark I’m sure most of those guys we know are going to the portal do. Definitely not saying that.
I’m wondering if Cuffe is just like "Hey Bill please just let me get this last check first "
-
@Kcmatt7 honestly, let him IMO. Let him get the bag on his way out. Really anyone to be honest. Haven’t heard a peep about any of the departures having character issues or anything like that.
-
For gits and shiggles I dusted off my NCAA 2K8 game last night (they still update the rosters!) and rolled out a starting lineup of Juan/Battle/Jones/Ingram/Garrett Nelson. Boy that was fun. Not a great shooting team but absolutely unstoppable in transition and had tremendous ball movement.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I totally agree lol. I just don’t know if the guys have to still “be on the roster” to get their check or not. I don’t particularly understand the intricacies of the NIL stuff and if there are rules for the collectives or what.
-
@Kcmatt7 I could be wrong but I don’t think there is. Just would be more awk than anything

Sounds like a Western Kentucky guard

I was thinking about Angel and Buffy, et al.
-
@kjayhawks Think about Jeremy Case.
-
@BShark ok. 175# bench warmer with a nice stroke. Got it. Lol

Vern Smern saying Self wants Rice back, however Rice has apparently told people that he intends to transfer.

This is all correct.

At least we know its on MJ and not Self if he leaves. SOFT
-
He has a big NIL
-
I wonder how attractive he is to tough coaches when they consider that he won’t play for Self?
Let’s see…couldn’t compete for extensive court time, under performed when he did play, won’t stay in the best program in the country for a coach who wants him back despite 1 and 2.
Interview: Why will it be different for you here?
Because of . . . magic fairy dust?

He will be going to play for one of the softest coaches around based on early rumors, so there is that.

@BShark Norm? Jj

@dylans lol, Mike Boynton

Well there had been rumblings even before MJ stepped foot on Campus if you remember rightly that MJ had some issues , and didn’t know if he would be able to make that adjustment. Looks like those rumors were true. - - Typical cas I think like it turns out some times - -some of these kids can’t handle the adjustment. - In high school or these circuits they are THE GUY - -AND IT’S ALL ABOUT ME , ME , ME- instead of team and learning a system - learning about the total aspect of the game it’s not just about everyone stepping back give me the ball and let me show off my so called skills - - OR NOT. lol
The sad part is --MJ has skills , but I think for one he just never bought into the defensive aspect and sa we know if your not willing to play defense or at least try then Bill really doesn’t have a spot for you on the floor. - MJ is just another case where he just didn’t grasp the team aspect totally lost on the defensive end - -that I think ws one of his problems, got in Coach’s dog house and hard to get out.
I think the rel telling factor or at least one of them really hit that he was DONE was when we was just moping our 1st round opponent in the tourney and MJ didn’t put a single foot on the court for a second in the end of the game- -Hell even Jankovich got on and no MJ - that was YEP- - HE IS GONE
