@BShark - So far tonight I’ve seen posts about Harris and McDowell leaving but I haven’t seen anything in the news. ???
Juan will be back.
Nothing will be official for awhile with guys entering.

Kind of discouraged for the first time in a while. Feels like we’re running this core back
I’m OKAY returning 4 starters, portaling in an awesome guard to start and then just adding quality depth. Get starter minutes down and things look a lot different. Our bench couldn’t even tread water against good teams this season and it killed us.
-
@BShark I think returning the 4 starters would be nice and hopefully Elmarko stays with Mari leaving. I just hope one of those starters (KJ) doesn’t play 30 minutes a game

Gotta see what the portal additions look like. But I foresee a lot of the same issues with us potentially losing two pro wings. I still think spacing will be an issue with KJ, Dajuan and Hunt.

I keep hearing the younger Porter brother from Pepperdine is very high on us. Just not sure why we would be high on him lol

If I told you I’m 90% on Furphy being back would that brighten your day

I think Kansas does return 4 starters next year. Never a truly bad thing. Building real depth will be the key and the 2 guard needs to be HIM.
-
@kjayhawks did you give him this
?
-
@Crimsonorblue22
to clear the air is because I want him to stay if we can get the right guys around him and have someone help him not play 35 minutes a game
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@kjayhawks I regret to inform you it’s a fake tweet and Juan is, in fact, coming back lol
-
@kjayhawks said in Transfer Rumblings:
Juan has said he may enter the portal after the game as well
Hmmmm looks like you were hoping
it was true.
-
@BShark We are fuq’d
Flory is athletic will be solid as first big off the bench
Passamore should push furphy if not take his spot if good enough
Either way with the 1 and 4 the spacing will be atrocious
With the 1 and 5 the defense will be atrocious
It took Bill getting a two time all pac 12 player to come off the bench and save his sorry @$$ basketball philosophy
Stud guards win not “pure pg’s”….just idiotic. He’s becoming Eddie Sutton which is a disaster
Houston, Baylor, Arizona….all gonna run us each year with stud guards, a stud athletic 6-7/6-9 3-4 man and then these 7 foot rim runners who shot block the lane so the guards can play aggressive perimeter D
I’m applying for a job so put in a good word for me with William
-
@kuballin10 I think u r blocked, perhaps try applying for the sheep humpers job. I hear tang is looking. We are tired of hearing the same ole thing.
-
Been said ad nauseam throughout most of the fanbase but I won’t be excited if KJ is back in a major role. People will point at the success that the team had earlier in the season but our metrics were trash and we didn’t blow anyone out
-
Blew Houston out
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Transfer Rumblings:
Blew Houston out
70% shooting isn’t exactly “sustainable” but you did list a quality opponent that we blew out so I’ll cede there

He makes that sound a lot easier to attain than it is. He’s essentially saying you need shot creating guards, sharp shooters and depth. Every team is searching for that.

I love targeting Kobe and Garrison. So I won’t complain but I think Vecenie thinks we are closer than what I do.
-
I know I’m beating the hell outta a dead horse here but watching this game today. Teams just have so much better guard play than us. Guys that are quick off the bounce, can get a piece of the paint anytime they want. They are bigger, stronger and faster than ours. The one hope is it won’t be that way with Johnny next season if he returns after hitting the gym. He will be one of those guys.

See and my concern with that even if Johnny comes back is he isn’t a primary or secondary handler type. Frank Mason’s and Devon Dotson’s don’t grow on trees but we need a guard who can generate paint touches and get to the free throw line consistently.

Fair. Sending you a dm.

KU’s inability to create floor spacing meant it was harder for guards to get into the paint. Late in the year the lane was clogged to prevent HD from getting clean touches. TBH, I don’t think ref’s called all the fouls they should have during lane penetration but whatever….
-
@TYOHawk Very true and I agree but most teams in the tournament seem to have that type of a player. I think that’s probably one of the things we missed most since Kevin was out. Here’s the ball, go get a bucket.
-
@TYOHawk All these Marquette guys able to drive in traffic while Elmarko stumbled around anytime he tried going into the paint
-

I took it for granted with Frank and Dot. But the ability to just tell a guy to get in the paint and get fouled or get a bucket is so pivotal.
-
@rcjhdraft one thing to consider if I remember correctly Elmarko is hasn’t been playing organized ball for very long. He has the athletic ability to do and has a decent stop and pop game right now.
-
Yeah we need real guards again.
-
@BShark upvote times a thousand, great guards and coaching wins in match 9 years outta 10.
-
Keep an
on Colby Rogers.
-
@BShark - Rogers is 6’4” and used to 30+ minutes/game. Is he a grad transfer?
-

Yes. Already in the portal.
-
Xavier Amos another to watch.
-
Perfect 4 man
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Otz likes him as well. Can’t let this kid get to Ames.
Visit watch from what I’m hearing: Garrison, Amos
Kobe Johnson could be a guy that commits w/o a visit.
It’s all early though.
-
Colby Rogers that played at wsu?
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

A big concern with Amos should be his health. Only played 7 games as a freshman and missed the last few games this season with back issues. That’s something that would make me look elsewhere because we don’t need a player with a known injury history depleting the depth for next season.
I’ll also say that I don’t believe that caliber of player we need have begun entering the portal yet.
-
Yes please worth a look

Fair. Tomorrow is going to be an insane day. Most teams out of the tournament now. Rumblings of lots of P5 starters that will enter.
-
Are we still in w/Mcneeley?
-
Going to be really interesting how they fill all the spots. Probably 3-4 additions coming from the portal and they can’t all be elite. Probably 2 starter level dudes and some depth
-
Watch out for KJ
-
@Crimsonorblue22 William needs to because nobody else on the staff has the balls to.
If remy hadn’t bailed him out he’d be in trouble.
As someone else said KU has all these top seeds or no worse than a 4 because we dominate the little 12 only to not do crap in the tourney.
Duke, unc and uconn the true blue bloods in terms of titles this century ……touch to swallow but true
-
@BShark Too bad Bill doesn’t think that. GCU is 10 times more athletic than us….their pg can actually beat his man off the dribble unlike d2
$9 million dollar man can’t see what some dudes working an 8-5 can see…pathetic
-
@kuballin10 because they have one more title? 3-2 isn’t some massive edge
-
@FarmerJayhawk about to go back to back…I wouldn’t be laughing if I were you…….
Somehow they play legit D and run excellent offense with portal guys being plug n play
Self’s 1980’s system is so bad you can’t plug n play…he’s Eddie Sutton jr with 1 legit title and 1 lucky one

Totally agree. The big man will have to be depth (ofc).
