Tyrese Hunter is so overrated. He has regressed every year in college. That is a hard pass for me.
I feel this way too. Are we really improving by bringing in the transfers we have been targeting? Seems like there is a lot of negative information on the ones out there, they’re former teams not really upset about them leaving. Wasn’t Tyrese Hunter basically replaced?
Mayo and Kugel are both great additions. I have not seen anything negative about Mayo, and I think people thought Kugel was going to be a starter. It appears that is not going to be the case, so I don’t see anything wrong with that. He did have some attitude issues last year, but new coaching staff, teammates, and scenery can change that.
Adding Rylan G. will be HUGE. We haven’t had someone like him in few years. Big time addition if it happens.
Texas added a 3 guards / wings in one day and Hunter left. I watched Texas a lot last year, and he does nothing for me.
Alright, I’m with you. I like Mayo a lot, and obviously Griffen would be great. The attitude issues worried me with Kugel, hopefully a new start will fix all that. Saw some things about AJ Storr’s defense being real bad. And obviously the Hunter stuff we agree on.
I just hope whoever we bring in gels well together and we get back to the top with a title run next year. Need better leadership on the court, keeping everyone together and in the game. The team always seemed to fold when they got behind a little bit and before you know it they were down 20+ points and its a blowout.
Two things that I believe are that in the portal era, you just have no clue how a team gel until the ball is tipped. Look at Self’s comments from last Summer. He thought this past years team was loaded, and had a chance to make a run. Unfortunately it did not come to fruition.
Also, leadership is going to be hard to come by. Juan and KJ not being vocal leaders really hurts this team. Leaders are guys that IMO need to be in the program for a few years and understand what KU basketball is. We have those guys, but to me they are not great leaders.

FWIW Bossi says Rylan isn’t on campus
-
@TYOHawk - So I wonder who Harris was talking with last night?
-

On campus and today are doing a lot of work there.
-
I am also not on campus today but still hear the steam whistle, so to speak.
-
Well sure looks like Johnny is gone, I don’t expect him to be the last. Still think Jamari is mor then likely gone & still not real clear on Zach. - -Starting to look more and more Hunter will be back.- -Yet still wouldn’t shock me either way… --So looks like 2-possible 3 Scholi’s open yet if all three go----McDowell— -Clemence—& Furphy
-
The vibes on Storr are very good. Ways to go yet but KU seems to be the leader
-
Seems like we’re tracking to be above 12 scholarship players. Also, saw it mentioned somewhere that we might just jump back to 13 and forgo the reduction? How is that an option? I don’t follow that part.
-
@RockkChalkk the penalty was 3 over 3 years, so which years you take those 3 doesn’t matter. We took 2 last year so only need to take 1 more over the next 2 seasons
-
@FarmerJayhawk You coming around on him??? He’s a ridiculous athlete and I’m trusting Bill can mold him into an better Oladipo
-
@kuballin10 he’s definitely and inefficient chucker that doesn’t really defend and that won’t fly in the NBA so when they tell him to go get better at those things KU is a really good spot given our track record

Sometimes you just need an “eff you” guy. Ala Remy in 2022.
-
Kind of feels like we were the last ones standing on Storr so we can get him at a more reasonable NIL deal

KU is doing a lot to get this one done lol
-
I kind of have some worry about an offensive hierarchy. It’s a lot of guys who will want their touches
-
@TYOHawk you remember Dajuan the pass first PG? Maybe he will be a blessing in that equation?

Stack talent and figure it out. Better than what happened last season for sure!

I can 100% get on board if lineup is
Juan
Zeke/Kugel/whoever
Griffen
Storr
Hunter
Issue is Bill will roll out kj and then we will be defended similarly to last year………
Need a scoring pg when kj is your 4 man
-
Well just saw where Trilly D- - & Brennan have put in their predictions— Both say Griffin to KU.
Would be a pretty dang solid group id somehow we could get Kugel - -Mayo- - -Griffin - - AND Storr. I think I could like tht - -a lot.-- 2 down & two to go—Rock Chalk
-
Best way to think about is there are 7-8 guys playing starter minutes.

Bill is painting a masterpiece.
-
So do we think Brea is the other kid that could be visiting this weekend with Griffen?
-
Thing is - - ew hit the Grand Slam in the end with these kids we gonna need to open some Scholi’s. I’m sure Coach will find a way
-
@BShark Nah he’s just gathering the colors and paint brushes….what he does with all the talent will then show if he can still paint a masterpiece or not
Stubbornness to adjust is one of the hardest traits to overcome

It’s Darius Acuff.
-
There is a rumored third visitor as well

For 2025… I was just assuming it was someone for this upcoming season.

Swain told me things will make a lot more sense once the full picture is available. For some reason he and Bossi aren’t allowed to mention Acuff until he’s on campus. Fingers crossed that Shay doesn’t blow it.

Info got out today from Tipton so now it’s all being discussed there.

ya we all know as you show your stubbornness quite nicely as you simply refuse to get off Juans ass
-
@jayballer67 somebody has to be on him cause coach sure as heck ain’t….
-
Storr 2 KU official
-
@BShark Just got that notification from Bleacher Report on my phone.
-
Shams first to report it, interestingly.
-
Right now, we’re looking at a starting line up of Harris, Mayo/Kugel, Storr, Adams, and Dickinson.
That’s a scary line up on defense and I don’t mean that positively.

Athletic notification just popped up too.

Critical that any others we go after are plus defenders on the perimeter and can play meaningful minutes…
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Assuming we get Griffen…who starts then?
-
We cant have 10 guys on the court at once, and we know Bill doesnt like deep rotations. So if these look like the projected starters i think…. We are just going to be terrible at defense.
Can Griffen d?
-
I mean we didnt suck at d by the metrics this year but we still sucked. So… progress?

I think we get Griffen soon but yeah this team will have to outscore teams. Have the dudes for it though.
-
Well, Storr is not coming to KU to be a bench player. He’s a starter for sure. I wonder if Self is starting to reconsider some roles.
-
Billy Eugene dgaf
-
Dajuan-Griffen-Storr-KJ-Hunt with Zeke in the Remy role is my guess
-

Kugel 7th man is insane btw as he has NBA talent (but a head case).

What was our last squad to be this deep? The last Morris twins team? The title team? Like guys like Kease might have nba potential and he’s like the 10th man.

2016 probably
-
@TYOHawk Yeah that would be the lineup in my mind. What’s the best offensive lineup where all 5 guys are legit threats to score and stretch the floor?
I’d go Mayo - Kugel - Griffen - Storr - Hunter
Best shooters, best athletes (minus Hunter) and Bill’s job is to teach them how to defend.
-
I know it’s great message board fodder but the actual starting lineup won’t matter all that much
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yeah that’s not entirely true. Guys care who starts and they care who finishes/gets more minutes.
If Mayo on the second squad is smoking Juan in practice but not starting he’s gonna get frustrated. Same goes for even if Mayo plays more minutes than Juan.
If who starts doesn’t matter then why wouldn’t Bill or any coach start their best 5 players from the tip?
People like to act as though it doesn’t matter…but it does
