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.

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

-
@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

Sir my friend would never spread fake news for impressions.

Rylan Griffen, one to get acquainted with (again).

Yes it’s closing time, this time around

I’m slow on the uptake. What news is fake here?
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah glanced at it and fooled me…hearing houston getting a stud pg so figured that’s what it was.
Got fake Adam scheftered!

-
With the dead period ending this one could wrap quickly
-
This is definitely the one. Not going to get too excited with how these things can go but man that’d be a homerun
-
I’m not familiar with the history, anyone have a cliffnotes on it they can provide?
-

End of next week possibly.

Imagine taking MJ Rice instead looool. Hopefully remedied soon.
-
I don’t recall his game, but the Alabama people seem pissed he’s leaving.
They say he’s a threat from 3, and a good perimeter defender. “Potential” to be a great defender with his size, athleticism.
Skinny for sure.
-
He was a decent enough defender his freshman year then Bama stunk on ice on defense this year (like 100 spots worse in KenPom defense than us… woof) so his defensive stats tanked. It sure looks like it’ll be a much, much different style of team, even more so if Furphy comes back. KJ is going to start but if his main role is really a utility piece at the 4/5 that would be terrific. Zeke, Griffen, and Furphy at the 2-4 gives me heart eyes. It’s a better rebounding team and has plenty of scoring punch.

Is there a shot creator in there, Farmer? A guy who can get to the rim?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk he’s decent at it for sure. His major, major value add is as a secondary threat, like catch and shoot and taking handoffs off primary action. Elite floor spacer that should complement Mayo (and Furphy if we keep him) really well. He’s also a really good passer for a wing which is a nice plus. Overall he slides perfectly into the 3 spot: very, very good shooter, good passer, athletic, but you don’t want him as a primary handler

Carl and Mary Ice Go Cats University is throwing a bag at Mark Mitchell and Ballo

Oh yeah they’ll need knockdown shooters at 1-3 to even kinda make that work. We complain about KJ and Hunter but Hunter is at least a threat out there and a decent FT shooter. Ballo is wish.com Dok

Anyone that can play the PG position?

@RockkChalkk said in Transfer Rumblings:

lol dang now that’s some trolling
-
@FarmerJayhawk Bama’s defense per metrics was 100 points worse yet they made the final four and played UConn the closest compared to other tourney games.
When you run like they do there are more possessions per game thus the metrics defensively look worse yet offensively they were solid
-
@kuballin10 it’s normalized per possession
-
@RockkChalkk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Juan/Zeke/Philon/Elmarko
That’s already a lot.
-
Sounds like Muzzurah for Mitchell

So , what happened to K/Straight ?-- -Last I heard/seen they had a little CB for him. All I knew was I didn’t want him here

Sorry, wasn’t meant to be a troll. Was hoping we had someone proven to be able to rotate in to the position. I’ve always thought some of the more effective lineups KU has had are when the 1 and 2 are almost interchangeable.

What a fall from the unbreakable brothahood

Griffen should be visiting Kansas this weekend.
