Transfer Rumblings
-
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.

Ball knowah
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 like who we are targeting tbh
I love targeting Kobe and Garrison. So I won’t complain but I think Vecenie thinks we are closer than what I do.
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
-

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:
Xavier Amos another to watch.
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).
-
@kuballin10 I laugh because I can’t imagine following something that would make me so miserable.

Just can’t get caught with our pants down re: Hunter
-
We , need some dogs out of the portal this year, I’m not just talking athletic, but some studs , got that dog in them. Enough of the Timberlakes , no Yesfu’s — We need guys that can get their own shots - – create , someone that wants the ball in Crunch time- - That Alpha
We need a stud CG – - and a Strong legit front line player - -we need athletic vey athletic , speed. enough screwing around - -and a couple good quality depth off the Bench players- -time to buckle down
A question also --do you think it’s time to get some fresh blood in the Coaching staff ?- - just curious, maybe get someone that CAN find that dog.

No cause/effect there. When someone starts out miserable, they just have a desperate need to share.

What does everyone think of Noah Reynolds??

Midmajor, risky. You hearing anything?
-
@BShark I just heard the name mentioned not sure if that means we are checking him out. I’m not impressed with him personally.
-
Forgive the potentially ignorant questions. Is it possible for Self to think a player isn’t worth the NIL money anymore? Is it possible to ever pull/reduce any offer for a player for next year?
Just asking so I can potentially hope to never see HDick in a KU uniform every again.
-
Until recently believe it’s illegal for coaches and the school to be involved in the $ but with the NCAA continuing to be shut down from getting involved in that business it may be something that a coach can have some influence on going forward.

Something I was saying in the Season , and through the Season. — Hunter Dickinson was just a bad fit for us. - Now seeing many others now saying what I’ve been saying.
Hunter Dickinson although a good player was a bad fit- - -and it showed, Hunter is a liability on defense, gets beat repeatedly, suer gets rebounds but a lot of those rebounds practically fell in his lap, NOT a good offensive rebounding guy at all - -Actually we had NOBODY that was good at being aggressive to go to the offensive glass.
Hunter was not a guy that demanded the ball, kinda like THAT’S MINE, a guy that would just go get the ball, a lot of his rebounds would either hit the floor and bounce his way or simply because of his what 7’1 frame.
We need a guy who loves to bound - -like a Dennis Rodman or a Daryl Dawkins somebody that i just gonna take it - -give it to me attitue . Hunter was - just Big & slow real defensive liability on the perimeter . -He is more then likely coming back , just hope his foot speed can improve - - doubtful but maybe
-
This guy looks fun https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/cade-tyson-1.html
-
Louisville losing their 7th player to the portal- Maybe we could look into this kid as a quality kid coming off the bench.
Mike James , 6’5 G - 4 * - top 100 kid. - -Averaged 12.6 , pretty decent shooter. - -maybe check into Skyy Clark also in the portal. - If I remember right pretty decent playr coming out of High School

Indiana has their talons in. Thinking there or back home to the carolinas.
-
12 3’s from 25 ft and deeper. Really good shooter, not a great athlete… Always the give and take
-
North Carolina is the favorite.
-
Looks like our old friend Marcus Adams is on the move yet again…
-
HD Garrison and Flory all on the roster at the same time would be interesting
-
@BShark is McNeeley still on our radar?
-
Boom. There’s Zeke Mayo. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he came home.

This has much much more traction than I would have thought based on old convos. IF KU swings hard, it’s over.
-
Not sure I would agree with KU going hard for him tbh. I wouldn’t want him to be a starter.
