“It’s hard to bet against Bill Self,” one power-conference coach said. “Say what you want about whatever, but he’s a hell of a coach.”
We’re done here.
If anyone doesn’t think he is a top 5 coach in CBB right now they are out of their mind.

@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@FarmerJayhawk Do you understand context? These coaches are interviewed for an entire article that’s praising Self. Yeah he’s a top coach in the game…they aren’t gonna rag on him.
If you are as connected as you act it won’t be hard for you to confirm what I’m referencing (coaches able to poke holes in Kansas based on roster construction/pets and philosophy).
We can act like the investigation scared guys away and those guys have even said so……that’s what you call an easy out when wanting to let someone down softly
Dam Sparky , have you always been so miserable ? – I mean seriously your always such a wonderful bundle of Sunshine. How could ANYONE not understand what an awesome Chump you are-- Seriously is it possible that your STILL going through menopause ? - - -Na that can’t be it - -that’s for women - -WAIT your not a woman are you ? - -yet you might be, you always bring out the best in people here , hmmm you ever wonder why that is Mr Sunshine ? - When you DO figure that out let me know – we all wait it’s gonna be fun

After seeing this the possibility, I was watching on other sites , a KU Podcast heard some interesting things & points , makes you think;
Ok, so we are hid final four list – - Arizona , U Conn , Houston , & KU. The host was saying guess that Kugel kind of fell out of favor with Coach Golden , ran through a tough stretch and was relegated to coming of the bench , which Kugel wasn’t very happy about. - The insider that reports for the Gators just like Swain does, said at times he looked like he was pouting , depressed – and really didn’t play well. but he brought out stats on Kugel from freshman year to Soph year, pretty eye popping.
His Fr yr He was in the 77 Percentile for Ball handling efficiency - His Soph yr dropped to 39 % percentile
His Fr yr He shot - -45.6 from the floor–& 37.6 From the three - -His Sop yr under 40 % from the field & 31 % from the three
His Fr yr in 82 % percentile for jump shots , Soph yr- --He fell to 36 % percentile for jump shots shooting
His Fr yr in 57 % percentile for spot up shooting - -his Soph yr 25th for spot up shooting
His Fr yr was in 87 % for catch and shoot - -His Soph yr dropped to 30th catch and shoot
His Fr yr was 86 % percentile in guarded catch and shoot- - his Soph yr dropped to 16percentile
His Fr yr was 86 % percentile of dribble jumpers - his Soph yr dropped to 59 percentile
The host said sooo, if Hunter comes back— -Juan comes back- --KJ comes back- - Furphy comes back , you have one starting spot left. Do you want to take that chance on him being you two, and more likely then not your starting two, cause we have seen what happens with him coming off the bench. – If you start him just put that much more priority on finding another high volume really good shooter & you BETTER hope he rebound from his Soph Season and can shoot.
Then they took a look at his defense side saying from Synergy - -Saying his Fr year his rating was in the 35 percentile -his Soph yr he did a little better he was at 38-- a little better but both yrs were below average defense… – Said Kugel can be a risk taker on defense , he likes to go for the Steal and blocking shots, misses kinda frequent which puts the other team members in a bad spot…
He did say that Kugel was good enough he could play rhe 2 or the 3 , can handle the ball some , says he is a vey talented player but thinks if if he does come it is going to have to be in a starter role. - -Like he says is this the type of guy for we want for our two ?

@BShark My comment was about other d1 coaches and programs….
-
@FarmerJayhawk I never said he wasn’t a great coach….
This version of college basketball doesn’t fit his style.
He only wins titles with guys that are in his system 3 or more years. That is not today’s college basketball. Guys either go pro or transfer because of playing time.
His “system” is difficult to pickup and there is zero freedom otherwise it’s the quick hook.
These are all reasons he won’t succeed with how the portal and everything is setup. Can we be good sure he’s a great coach…can he win it all with how he’s running things…no.
Oh look further proof they recruiting eye is lacking
-
@jayballer67 Speaking the truth on the streets is hitting a few nerves I see. This bow down to self like he’s the new coach K with 5 titles is pretty comical to watch. Dude can’t even get out of the round of 32 or let alone lose a round of 32 game by single digits.
I don’t get the hype with the program right now and nobody’s challenge Self. That’s the key to downfall of any big program see uk right now….

It also ignores that Harris and Cryer play different positions and that KU signed a much higher rated 2 in the class of 2020 in Bryce Thompson.

The answer to your problem is quite simple actually for you. You can’t stand how Juan plays , you think Self is such a bad Coach and terrible decision maker - -Easy Dude, just go and find yourself another team setttle in with their fan base, spread your sunshine into their base , hell you can even find another player or two from that team you can get on ride him/them all year I’m sure you’ll be greatly appreciated. I’m sure you’ll be able to find something to bitch about. - Again pretty simple, you unhappy with our Coach , and our players - – then leave, you’ll be much , much happier.
I know it simply amazes me is the only time we EVER hear anything from you is during a game in which were losing or have lost- - just odd how your neve around when were winning which is quite a bit by the way.
Your just like a bad dream you neve go away. Dam it must be really hard to be so dam miserable as you must suck to be that way, I’m amazed how your not a College how of fame Coach yourself , I mean you have all the answers to the perfect team, you would be the perfect Coach. - -Dam why didn’t you ever apply for the KU position when it was open ? That’s the million dollar question- we would have the perfect record EVEY YEAR -w would be truly blessed If you could be our Coach I’d be so excited I’d probably wet myself – -OR maybe you are just this angry , sorry miserable gut that is this way because you DID apply apply and got spurned by the University of Kansas and you have made it your life mission to make a fool out of yourself by coming on and trying to turn us into believes of your way of thinking.
It’s gonna be ok BUB , just because the University thanked you for coming in & applying , and shook your hand and told you sorry we have our Coach and and gave you a gentle tap on your touché - no reason to be hateful.
Dam I’m sorry your so miserable in life, get out and do something , - - take a walk, go outside get some fresh air , feel the sunshine hit your body, grab a brew relax , go play in the park - -SOMETHING MAN butt quit humping Juan’s ass anymore - - -Season’s over time to get off an get a life , go find that other team so you can enjoy – -and , and , and , we can enjoy - find a different hobby something Dude I mean shit get over it

@Texas-Hawk-10 We praise Bill for the Frank’s and grahams but if he misses on a guy that is good and wanted to come here that’s a bad look.
He did the same thing with remy and took a full blown second chance to get him his second title.
FYI this is a great article and it’s clear why UConn is successful compared to KU

Cool, still ignores that Harris and Cryer play different positions, therefore, recruiting one didn’t affect recruiting the other.

Prediction
Zeke Mayo: Creighton

@BShark Sweet another kid that his dream school is KU but because we have Juan he will go elsewhere and excel……

Losing that recruitment is going to bother me. I can’t lie. Lawrence kid…grew up rooting for the program…scoring PG.

I kinda get it though, they want athleticism and he struggles in that way. Plus he wants to be THE GUY. Sounded like Kugel and Mayo were in a similar recruiting space for the staff ie wing guard type at our level (Mayo turns it over a lot in the Summit League so he’s not a GUARD in P5).
Maybe I’ll be wrong, but wanted to pass along what the current buzz is.
-
By and large, I’ll like to see what the rest of the class is. If we go out and land another wing, plus another actual guard (Wade Taylor anyone??) then I’ll be thrilled…

No problem with reporting what you’re hearing….i just don’t want the staff to be married to starting anyone other than Furphy and Hunter. I truly want them to get competition for everybody else…

Mayo isn’t a PG and wouldn’t be a PG here. The dude has a career turnover rate north of 15% and has gotten worse each season. So another case of a certain someone incorrectly assuming Dejuan Harris will impact a recruit that plays a different position than Harris.

He can be a primary handler at times and give us a scorer threat from the backcourt which we currently lack in a big way.
-
I think they viewed him as closer to a wing.
-
I am fully confident we will sign a guard still.

I’m still not convinced Dickinson will BE BACK. plus with them hitting from what I heard course I’m not like others in reporting but what I’v heard , with them going after this Rutgers Big 6"10 - -^'11 pretty big boy - makes me wonder even more especially with Flory.
I sure the hell don’t want to lose Flory because of a bad move, if Hunter goes then possible the big from Rutgers also then Flory KJ spot 5 would be ok- -but if you have Hunter , Flory and then try to bring in a third big from Rutger’s possibly – just can’t see that although have heard too that they are lookin for that possible third big. and Flory - -just don’t see that combination

There is no situation where he needs to be a lead guard at KU. He is a scorer, bit being a scorer doesn’t mean he’s an on ball player at KU. His best role at KU is going to be an off bench role which if he’s not looking for that, then he’ll go elsewhere and we’ll be fine. The best players available in the transfer portal will be coming available in May as the NBA Draft withdraw date nears.

Theoretical
Tyrese/Kugel/Peavy/a defensive big man
Sub in Cryer or Wade Taylor for Tyrese potentially. This would be a home run portal group.

Why on earth do you think Wade wants to come here and move off the ball to play the 2……?
Geez the staff is idiotic
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Feel free to share where you are pulling the 15% from?
Mayo turned it over .7 more than d2 this year. Not even a full 1 turnover a game more all while averaging 10 ppg more than d2
I love how people say Mayo couldn’t cut it here athletically and yet ignore who our literal starting pg is athletically
Staff has full blown lost it when it comes to talent evaluation….
Juan in Mayo’s spot wouldn’t even average 10 ppg and with his loose handle he’d turn it over just as much
-
@TYOHawk He 100% could be the lead guard here and produce just as well if not better than d2. Having a scoring threat with the ball in his hands and I guarantee he can swing it side to side just as quick and do the junior high jump passes from under the goal after driving baseline
I mean how in the hell could we ever replace such production!?!?!?!
The fact the staff and the blowhards who think they walk on water with their talent eval’s tells me all we need to know. Mayo is easily a better ball player than d2 but how dare we ever suggest that….
-
@BShark Please stop with Wade and Cryer…… especially Wade. Freaking just fantasy land here
Tyrese I haven’t heard yet but he’s a possibility
-
If the staff wants another guard I’d be happy with someone like haggerty
-
@kuballin10 he can’t hear u!
-
@rcjhdraft shoots 28% from three and turns it over as much as d2…against bad competition….if the staff doesn’t want Mayo but wants this guy man they are hypocritical
Uconn literally doing what everyone thought bill would do carrying the torch
Bills system requires jr’s and sr’s. That doesn’t happen in this landscape as they transfer or go pro.
The guys who stay that long stink and are here for a reason and the transfers in don’t pick things up quick enough to keep a starting spot. The all pac 12 player never could regain it and it was always said he couldn’t defend up to Bill’s standards. Bills standards for defense are real patient with d2 but not everyone else. Being in the right spot but unable to stop a cold because you’re slow and unathletic must still be good for him.
Now the round of 32 blowouts and defensive metrics for his teams recently make sense
Uconn gonna go and win 4-5 in the next 10 years unless Hurley leaves….the way they play ball is exactly how it should be done in college
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He being Self? I’ve already put together my bullet points and emailed him tonight with screenshots of where he needs to #levelup

@Crimsonorblue22 oh he sees it whether he ignores me or not we both know he reads it….

https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/zeke-mayo-1.html
Go look at his advanced numbers. 13.2% turnover rate as a freshman, 15.5% as a sophomore, and 16.5% this season for a career turnover rate of 15.4%.
And BTW, his defensive metrics are absolutely atrocious against Summit League players, but we’re supposed to believe that he’ll be better against B12 players? Mayo makes Timberlake look competent on defense.

@Texas-Hawk-10 keep prioritizing defense and Hurley and crew will prioritize offense and dominate for a decade
Bill prioritizes the wrong things hence why d2 has never been recruited over

Did you really just claim that the team that’s giving up 53.5 ppg in the NCAA Tournament so far and was 10th in the nation in scoring defense doesn’t prioritize defense?
