Confusing, if true.
Seems like a Plan C or D type move at this point in case their current targets don’t pan out or work out for KU.
-
@BShark rain or shine, huh
-
Nelson is priority 1, as of today. Thing to keep in mind is there is no rush. Ideally they’d love to have everyone in Lawrence all summer but they’d wait until July for their guy if that’s what it takes.

Also I am not buying the going with 11 thing from what I’ve heard. If Bill can add difference makers at the 4 and another gorrrd.
Grant Nelson and Pullin being the current top options. Always subject to change of course.
-
@BShark ditto. Braun was the tell. You don’t pass up Pullin or Nelson just to take a penalty when you don’t have to
-
Cue up the White Christmas song but instead of Christmas sub frontcourt
-
@FarmerJayhawk We are still in the “dreaming of” phase of the song though, right?
-
@benshawks08 yeah I think that’s fair until he actually pulls out of the draft. But I can say there’s mutual interest if that happens
-
https://twitter.com/DraftExpress/status/1659718023006019592 not relevant now but it’s unfortunate that beard convinced this guy to stay
-
Vern hinting at Kev possibly coming back. I’ll believe it when I see it
-
@BeddieKU23 ditto. Regardless I don’t think it affects Nelson
-
@BeddieKU23 - after Mgbako, I don’t believe until I see it!

They’d take both for sure. Would eliminate guard options I feel.

https://twitter.com/KUHoops/status/1661371696836669442 Kevin is coming back. Official.
-
@BShark Insane. I love it!
-
I’m assuming he didn’t get a strong enough promise of a two-way deal.
This is the ideal scenario at the 3 spot for KU. A starting line up of Harris, Morris, McCullar, KJ Adams, and Dickinson is going to be an elite defensive group. Jackson, Timberlake, and Marcus Adams is a solid rotation off the bench and if Johnson or McDowell surprise, even better.
This also makes Grant Nelson or someone else who can play the back up 5 spot the best option for the last scholarship.
-
Team is stacked AF right now if everything holds. Can still get better too, imagine Nelson hitching his ride to this wagon. Yikes.
-
What is that player GM site? @FarmerJayhawk @BShark
-
PG: Juan - 33/Elmarko - 7 SG: Elmarko - 18/Morris - 22 SF: Kev - 30/ Timberlake - 10 PF: Nelson - 15/KJ - 25 C: Dickinson 30/ Nelson - 10
Still room for Nelson if you ask me. Bench is starting to look crazy deep at the 1/2/3 spots.
Tie a bow on it Bill. Go get your versatile big man. Pitch is easy. Plenty of shots still to go around. Play next to 3-4 good passers at all times. Practice next to the best. Win a Natty. Get paid. Perfect opportunity to showcase your abilities at the 4 and 5.
I do think they have to at least take a 3rd body at the 5 if they whiff on Nelson/Kaluma.
-
@Kcmatt7 oh gosh. Uhhh Torvik?
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think that was it. I tried searching for it but couldn’t figure it out. Oh well
-
Quite pleased at McCullar’s return for many reasons, but most especially for his maturity and the knowledge of the Kansas system. It it’s not an easy system and his mentoring will help many fold. Welcome back, Kevin!
-
Kev just needs to work on that shot. Go find a trainer and live in the gym all summer. Rebuild that stroke. His FT% projects him to be a better shooter than he is from deep. If he can bring a 35%+ deep ball back to Lawrence that is a game changer.
-
McCullar is back bitches! Fuck yeah!!!

I think Timberlake will play a bit more but we are loaded for sure.
-
@BShark probably, but I don’t know whose minutes he takes.
-
Bossi just said to watch out for KU/Grant Nelson so uh there is that.
-
@BShark Wowwww
-
If Nelson signs that would be 10 quality players. - transfer city again next season, but this roster should be solid top to bottom.

I promise I’m not going to get to ecited on these words, cause that’s all it is right now. I’m promise not getting excited but WOW
-
If we get Nelson our second unit could be a top 25 team lol
-

In an ideal scenario, Harris isn’t playing 33 mpg so that might be a place to get some more minutes for Timberlake.
-
Hopefully there are enough absolute dog walks we can pull the starters at like the 33 minute mark
-
@FarmerJayhawk …and the reserves lay wood on them. No more deep bench redheads to keep the score respectable lol
-
Get me Nelson
-
Question is, if Nelson is that much of a quality player, would he be satisified with coming of the bench ? - -Would he come off the Bench ?
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

The academics part of this will be fascinating if he does indeed decide to go back to school and those rumors are true. Can he still practice? Can he do the summer trip? Can he play in exhibitions? Can KU find a way to get him enough Summer credits to make it work? How many other schools does that eliminate if it really is an issue?
-
@FarmerJayhawk 2009-2010 roster had that kind roster/ability.
- Morris
- Morris
- Collins
- Aldrich
- Morningstar
- Henry
- Reed
- Withey
- T-Rob
- EJ
- Teahan
Only guy over 28 minutes a game was Sherron.
-
@Kcmatt7 I believe the answers to those are yes, yes but not play, no. I asked my sister (family dinners are RIVETING let me tell you) about what it would take since she’s THE expert on all things academics, “Depends. Have to pass 18 hours between fall and spring and a minimum of 6 a semester so if you miss that mark you’re fucked. If it’s meeting the 40/60/80% (degree progress measures) you can use summer.”
-
@jayballer67 he’d start at the 4. KJ super sub
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Nelson would start at the 4. He ain’t coming here to come off the bench. Kj is backup 5 and Braun in slot minutes when needed.
Curious what Timberlake now thinks
Assuming zero chance at Kaluma (think he’s better than Kevin), and the Rutgers kid
@BShark @FarmerJayhawk - thoughts?
-
@kuballin10 I think Nelson or we’re done at 11
-

Agree with this strongly.
Also another walk-on is expected to be added.

We reached out to Spencer (Rutgers) but he wasn’t very interested. To be fair other teams are far more desperate and can tell him he would start.
Disagree on Kaluma v Kev and also think experience in the system matters.
I think Timberlake still starts but it’s not guaranteed for sure and we will know a lot more once practices start.
-

Aren’t we at 12 with Kevin?
-
@benshawks08 3 returnees, 4 freshmen, 4 transfers I think?
-
Juan, Morris, Kevin, KJ, Dickinson, Elmarko, Timberlake, Marcus Adams, Chris Johnson, Jamari McDowell, Parker Braun is 11 I think
