I’m so un knowledgeable --so if I might ask who is this guy?- - - I’m guessing plays the 5 and that’s wht w are reaching out, in case Dickinson leaves.
I STILL say I just don’t think he comes back I would guess 50/50 tops, I’ve been saying and just a gut thing. Maybe it was from his Sr speech, he was saying what a pleasure it HAD BEEN to be able to play with the guys, gave me almost a feel right then and there – nope he is done, could be wrong, if I am , I am happened before, not the first & won’t be the last
If Hunter is coming back why is the staff out talking to so many other Bigs ?.-I know the staff was or is suppose to have this zoom call this week with Cliff-- -the entire staff, has anyone heard anymore on that?So this guy Broome – decent player ? - where or what School is he at ?

Broome has a career PER north of 30. Averaged 17 and 9 for Auburn last year. This guy is absolutely the man Self is targeting in case Hunter leaves and there’s zero chance he comes here if Hunter stays. This one is the staff doing due diligence and being prepared for whatever happens with Hunter.

Gotcha, ya I’m sure as you say NO WAY he comes if Dickinson comes back.–could be the staff already has a pretty good idea what he is going to do. Broome isn’t coming in to come off the bench net year
-
Is he better than big dick? I watched him play several games and from what I recall, i’d give him the edge in rebounding and defense for sure. Scoring? I dont know.

@rockchalkwyo where have you been?

@rockchalkwyo where have you been?
I’ve been around and check this site probably 10 times per day. I just never really have anything meaningful to add to the group. I don’t want to be the person who enjoys hearing themselves talk.
-
@rockchalkwyo good to see ya! I watched our hutch juco gals pull a miracle out in Wyoming.
-
Is it likely HCBS is recruiting these transfers to force decisions? If current players go for the tryouts, does he have to keep a spot open for possible return?
-
More mobile big, he’s the kind of modern big you need and runs the floor better then Hunt. I do think he’s better then Hunt
-
Hunter has been talking about how he has a “trick up his sleeve”, makes it sound like he has an old friend that would come here.
Immediately you’d think someone from Michigan but my mind goes back to Dematha or Team Takeover.

Kobe Johnson off to UCLA

Doesn’t sound like KU ever really got too involved here.

Swain said KU wasn’t enamored.

So uh what if Zach stays at KU???
-
-
Zach. Hmm.
Not sure he’s gotten a fair shake yet. Big guys always need more time to develop. Have we seen enough of him to know?
I know I don’t want to see him shoot 3s anymore, that’s about it. He hustles (and gets bloody!). Seems aggressive on the boards. I can’t speak to his mental health — wasn’t that rumored? Immaturity? Dunno.
-
Doesn’t bother me much. Someone has to be the 11th guy.
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

KU could do worse as a back up big man than Zach.
-
Thinking about Wade Taylor
-
The most disappointing thing if Zach stays is why we didn’t pull his RS. He was better than Parker as a true freshman(last season) vs Parker as a 5th year senior.
-
Look at his redshirt year as a bit of a de-facto suspension
-
Just read a article found interesting if true. - -Being reported that KU reached out to Storr and he told them what he wanted in NIL - he wanted a Millon – & KU came back with a counter of 750,000 and he turned them down - CYA their padner and good luck, Ku told him take it or leave it. Sada this NIL has just tuned sports into a Auction
-
@jayballer67 - if so, where he ends up will be telling. New team must have big bucks.
-
No way we offered Storr that much. Hunt didn’t get much more than that last year
-

So not the rumored $2mil per year for Dickinson?

Was pretty far from reality. Most numbers you see are inflated by 200k or more, but the Hunter stuff was just absurd.
-
@BShark G league paying $40k per year kinda tells you where the market is for most players.
-
Gradey got more than Hunter, but he really worked for it.
-
@BShark interesting. Wonder how much we can bag Furphy next year.
-
Dickinson was talking with Jeff Goodman and saying hoping to be able to make his decision soon, just getting information said he had his guys thee, and just trying to make best decision. – Should knew something soon
-
Cream Abdul Jabbar is in the portal.

Preferred Larry blurred myself.

Me: builds a Time Machine and moves one chair in 2023. Nick Timberlake goes to UConn and Spencer comes to Kansas to win a title.
-
@kjayhawks it’s intriguing to look at the rankings in retrospect. Timberlake 30, Spencer 114
https://247sports.com/season/2023-basketball/transferportaltop/
-
@approxinfinity Honestly kind of fascinating given that Spencer was the one who played in a power conference
-
Cryer back to Houston so we can put the pipe dream to bed. I swear Vernon is starting to give fake nuggets for clicks rather than sticking to the real info even if it isn’t as entertaining.
On another note, Hurley proved he’d coach X’s and O’s around Bill with how they defended Edey. TOS has a thread on how Bill wouldn’t let Edey score 37 but we’d been torched from three.
That’s where Hurley has grown as a coach. It’s similar to when we played Washington at sprint center and they played 2-3 zone. They let Vick sit at the free throw line shooting a little jumper or floater. He scored 30 something and we lost.
This is why Bill needs my assistance as half the game is mental. Making a guy who doesn’t shoot a ton hoist it 12-15 times cause u just flat out don’t guard him. I’d do that to d2 all day and work Self like he’s a d2 coach
Or you do the opposite and let McCullar or Hunter hoist it 25-30 times but shut down everyone else. No kj dunks and his 15 ppg or furphy dropping three’s.
It’s what has happened in football that is slowly bleeding into basketball philosophy. Hurley ahead of his time right now defensively which makes me want to puke. What I’d give for 6 titles with a back to back….
The way Uconn blitzed people is because of their scheme. Even when we’ve won it all we didn’t just drill people and UConn did it twice. What a run
-
@kuballin10 I keep seeing TOS. What is that?
-
UConn won 12 straight NCAA tournament games by double digits that’s what you call domination.Games not even close.Our 15 point comeback in the Natty is Elite but winning 2 titles without cracking a sweat is Elite.
-
@patoh3 -“The Other Site”, quite likely 247. There are others.
-
@patoh3 the other site 247 KU
-
@NormRoberts Might want to look into what they are doing ehhhhhh?
-
@approxinfinity definitely interesting but I think some of the same folks that rank HS kids rank the portal guys. To be honest they seem to have little accuracy or ability to judge talent.
-
Portal rankings are always going to be a mess imo.
-
Vecenie is usually decent at ranking and think he does a transfer list with CJ Moore. It would be under a paywall though at the athletic though
-
@MR11 yep his list is fantastic
-
Wade Taylor in the portal looks to be Houston bound……again if we had an opening pg spot we’d then have a legit chance
-
@kuballin10 buddy learn how to read Twitter. If you would’ve read this tweet you probably would’ve realized it’s fake lol https://x.com/247chrishoops/status/1778161344815976535?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
