Transfer Rumblings
-
I tracked this awhile ago, the difference between offense and defense on KenPom is like 2.5 spots, something like 4 to 6.5. In terms of distribution, offense has a wider one (goes from 1 to about 40) than defense (only 1 below 20)
-
@kuballin10 The funny thing is Bill Self himself has said he recruits guys who can shoot/score and worries about the defense once they get on campus. Not sure what your argument is, unfortunately you can only work with the guys who show up. Recruiting isn’t like shopping, it’s a two way street, Bill doesn’t just point and get what he wants.

This post is deleted!

@dylans I can’t find where he said that can you? It’s the smart thing any coach or player knows as it’s easier to teach defense than take a guy who can’t score and magically making him a scorer.
This doesn’t coincide with who Self recruits as we typically lack shooters and “labor” to score but muddy it up and play defense. That’s been Kansas for years….
-
@kuballin10 The year we lost to WSU we just weren’t any good.
I don’t think you understand what low ceiling high floor means. It has nothing to do with shooting very poorly in losses. If anything, a team that loses because it shoots poorly from 3 is actially high ceiling low floor. But anyways, you want to check a teams record against top 5 or top 10 teams to determine whether it has a high ceiling or not.

@BShark a small dream is now dead?
-
We need to get out of today, with no transfers out.
-
@kuballin10 It was a direct quote that I’m paraphrasing from very early in his Kansas tenure. Not going to do the research, I’d guess it was a KC Star or LJW article.
-
Kaden Cooper please….

Anything new happening?

Not really. Small to WVU expected.
KU looking at Jaxson Robinson and Jordan Ivy-Curry.
-
Is the assumption that the Florida guy will clear academically? Or not?
-
I’ll list the ncaa winner, offensive ranking then defensive all from kenpom starting in 2015……offense wins titles. If you can score efficiently and rebound it puts that much more pressure on the other team to hit shots and keep up.
Duke - 3 - 11
Nova - 3 - 5
Unc - 9 -11
Nova - 1 - 11
UVA - 2 - 5
Baylor - 2 - 22
KU - 6 - 17
Uconn - 3 - 7
Uconn - 1 - 4
-
So no departures this season
-
@kuballin10 thanks for listing the data I already collected and gave summary stats for!
-
@rcjhdraft - I believe it would take a day or so to report it if someone entered at the last moment.
-
@Gorilla72 either way going from seemingly the entire roster transferring last year to zero turnover this year would be nice
-
Always nice to have yo stuff validated
-
It’s been a few days since I’ve been here and I can not — I mean really… CAN NOT —believe that there was a thread defending Josh Selby and suggesting he was an asset to the team. That’s some amazing revisionist history

USC game, baby! I was there, and he won us that one.
Gotta count for something, right?

It’s almost as if he who shall not be named was reincarnated.
Recruiting Josh Selby was one of the biggest recruiting mistakes Bill Self made. He basically got Bruce Pearl fired at Tennessee, missed the first 1/3 of the season due to suspension, then got hurt pretty quickly once he was eligible amd was hellbent on being a OAD no matter what. He was a headcase and KU achieved what they did in spite of Selby, not because of him.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk LOL… that’s true… It was a December game (mostly downhill from there), and that probably set expectations too high for a freshmen. (along with the fact that he was the #1 overall recruit that year).
That said, I saw Jacque Vaughn as a freshmen do something similar against Indiana and he did not seem to have the drop in production that Selby had. (I’ve never looked at the stats).
-
Jordan Ivy-Curry zoom call tomorrow. Perhaps a visit next week.
-
@DanR Jwill didn’t dunk a lot but have no memory of Juan dunk at all
-
@kjayhawks Juan’s dunked on a break before. He’s got some crazy long arms that help and why he can randomly tip a few passes for steals on D. He excels defensively when he’s playing help D. One on one he can’t guard his man real well but every once in a while those pesky long arms get u a steal when we need it most.
All hail d2……(d2 after he wins his second title will stand for his two championships).
If we get Kugel or another guard or Jaxson I’m fully on board we will win it all. Top 3 offense and right around 18-21 defensive efficiency will get it done.
@Texas-Hawk-10 will cringe after all the ish he’s talked about these guys defensively being awful but then hedges his bets that even though this years team will suck more than last year they will magically go further in the tourney and potentially win the big 12 but still in his mind somehow be worse.

Show me where I said next year’s team will suck more than last year? I said next year’s team will be the worst defensive team of Bill Self era. You’re the one that’s obsessed with trying to make some stupid ass bet about KU losing in the Sweet 16 instead of the round of 32. Now read carefully because reading comprehension clearly isn’t a strength of yours because my response to you trying to make that dumb ass bet was I DON’T GIVE A SHIT IF KU LOSES IN THE SWEET 16 OR ROUND OF 32 IF THEY AREN’T MAKING THE FINAL FOUR OR WINNING A TITLE because the defense next season won’t be good enough.
This is where it really gets fun with you contradicting yourself. You keep saying Bill Self can teach these guys defense while at the same time saying Dejuan and KJ suck at defending despite being at KU under Self for 5 and 3 years respectively. Also, how did Remy’s defense improve? Was it enough for Self to trust Remy on UNC’s final possession when KU had to get a stop? It wasn’t, you say! I’m shocked that guy who never put any effort into defending stayed bad enough at defending that Bill Self trusted a true freshman who played less than 5 minutes per game more on that possession than he did Remy.

I like him. Had big games (and I understand volume was there) but he can score.
-
@BeddieKU23 About as good a player as you could hope to find for the role we are offering. Partially because he’s a bit of a head case. Not a guy you’d want to truly rely on but good enough to steal some games as a depth piece.
-
Yeah sounds like he’s had issues on bad teams and had a few outlier huge games against good teams (FAU, Memphis) but agree he’s a microwave kind of shooter you want off the bench.
-
@BeddieKU23 Not always starting for bad teams is telling but as long as Kugel gets here we are talking about the 9th guy. Insane depth in the portal era.
-
@BShark Our ninth guy last year was Wilder Evers lol
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Reading comprehension got it.
Let’s try this:
KJ is a good defender - bad rebounder
Juan is a bad 1 on 1 defender - great team defender always aware of see ball - see man and in position but his athletic traits besides his long arms hinder him
The reason Kj plays is his athleticism which translates on both ends which I believe Bill will pull out of Storr ect
This team will have a final 4 shot. They will not finish 6th in the big 12 and get bounced in the round of 32 cause they can score and use their athleticism to defend.
How you think they will be worse is beyond me……
-
The locked on Jayhawk podcast did a deep dive on most of the newcomers. Almost all were rated by advanced stats as below average to straight up BAD defenders. Will be an interesting season, to be sure. At least with depth there can be some real fodder for a board like this as far as who plays, where they should play, etc. Felt like this year it was just hope guys play better eventually.
-
Noah Shelby visiting next week
-
walk on hopefully
-
@rockchalkjayhawk The way I recall it he was amazing until an injury, after which he absolutely sucked.

Anyone know where Kadary Richmond is headed? OU? Should be an instant impact type player.

Have they closed any of their tamper targets/“locks” yet? I know they have quite a few guys rumored…

Not that I’ve seen. Heard Kadary visited UK a few days ago. He would be a good pick up for Pope

That turned out to be a glitch on 247. One of their main guys Kyle Tucker confirmed he did NOT visit.

Meanwhile KSU whiffed on both of their top two targets on the same day.

Bama got Cliff and looks like Sears may be returning………
Bama over unc because how Oats develops guys and his style of offense versus Davis
Gonna be them loaded and get their first title

@kuballin10 See you found your new team.
-
Baylor just got a forward from miami
-
@patoh3 Original - keep up the solid contributions
If I commend any other team it’s - go cheer for that team. Oats is a complete loser….but he’s dove into the analytics of the game and trying to run it like a minor league nba preparation team which is smart as that’s all these guys want.
I have some serious connections Bama/Duke wise with past players so if you need any inside info besides paying Vernon money let me know.
That’s why it was comical when Vernon was stringing the Flagg thing along. I texted my buddy who played for coach K and he said, “he’s a silent verbal it’s over and he won’t even end up taking visits”. Few days later and it turned out to be true….
