Transfer Rumblings
-
My somewhat informed guess is Kugel could actually get into KU but not be eligible to play. This actually happens fairly often, just nobody talks about it for obvious reasons.
-
@FarmerJayhawk So if he gets in and can play elsewhere how the heck did another school figure that out and we can’t?
-
@kuballin10 KU has these things called academic standards that everyone has to follow. If he gets to play at school the quality of KSU then more power to him
-
Dang. Sounds like we’ll miss his basketball skills, but not his mental skills.
We need a guy to replace him who can contribute, not a bench scrub.
Cmon, coach! Find us a winner.
-
Since Kugel isn’t coming now, I’d wait until after the NBA Draft withdrawal date because there will be some good players pulling out of the draft that can start. Hunter and Remy were both late transfer additions so there will be high level talent available after Memorial Day weekend.

Wait. An education is not only offered, but required too?!?

Wild right?? For a second I forgot what the U in KU stood for…

I think after we got comit from Storr & Riley-- pretty well sealed the deal, think he wasn’t to hyped up on the competition.

Oh he still really, really wants to be a Jayhawk. Just didn’t put the work in over the semester to get it done.
-
Hopefully he can conquer his demons with kugel exorcises
-
@approxinfinity Sounds like an accident waiting to happen!
-
@approxinfinity goofball!

Might be a better fit that way
-
If it has to do with academics, I’d be surprised if the result would be any different at Illinois. Kentucky and Arizona may have more academic flexibility.

Don’t drink and park! Accidents cause people.
-
So how would you fellows (and ladies) rank the following possible outcomes in terms of likelihood:
A. We add nobody else to the roster
B. We add Noah Shelby on scholarship
C. We add Noah Shelby as a walk-on
D. We add Jaxson Robinson
E. We add both Jaxson Robinson (scholarship) and Noah Shelby (walk-on)
F. We add someone else.
-
G. Who dafahq noze!
I know what I want…
-
I say B or C and F. But I really like G too.
-
@Jhawk69 F - as @Texas-Hawk-10 said…we land a good guard that pulls out of the draft
-
Agree with the above, B or C and keep options open for someone. Maybe there’s another Furphy out there.
-
Kugel sure had high upside and would have been fascinating to see him here but this is just another bullet dodged in the end. If you can’t even keep your academics in order, which the bar is so damn low for athletes to begin with, there’s more issues under the hood then Self needs.
-
I’m curious as o who plays the 4 next year. At this point, it looks like KJ and Zach unless Self goes 4 out. Seems like we need an upgrade there for rebounding and shooting.
-
If Zach plays at the 4 I will not be watching.

LMAO
Will be clicking the power button so fast man
That said I anticipate a lot of 4 guard stuff.
-
@BShark You considering kj a guard cause he’s gonna play 30+ minutes a game at the 4 this year….
-
@BShark Still waiting for your reply with regards to kj….
-
Sucks losing Kugel but man I’m really excited about a wing trio of Rylan, AJ and Rakease. We got shot creation, athleticism and spot up shooting all in one portal season
-
Kease if he’s given a leash could be Mclemore’ish in his minutes
-
Well it feels good to have everyone’s consensus that the talent next year is something to look forward to.
-
@approxinfinity Depends on who you ask as @Texas-Hawk-10 says we gonna be worse but always positive Kuballin is 100% on board we will win the big 12 and make a final 4 run!

Please tell me where I said the team would be worse overall and not just the defense? Oh right, you can’t because I’ve never actually said what you’re claiming, like many things you say.
-
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 that’s exactly what you’ve said and you’ve claimed how awful they will be defensively and zeroed in that uconn won because of their D
I’ve said we’d go further this year and you said it doesn’t matter cause this team because of their defensive won’t make the final 4
That spells out you think this team defensively is worse than last year and we know what took place last year….

Show me exactly where I said the team would be worse overall? All you can claim is exactly what I’ve said, this team will be shit defensively and you’re trying to put words in my mouth by claiming I’m saying stuff I haven’t. This is one reasons why nobody here likes you. When you can’t disprove someone, you start making shit up, so kindly fuck off and do not put words in my mouth again.
-
Combine has started. Would imagine some news after. Combine Billllly.
-
@BShark Hmm juicy details are unspoken here?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 @kuballin10 lets try to be civil. Also lets try not to sit on a throne of lies.
-
@approxinfinity hello Mr. Robinson

-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Didn’t know it was a major leap to connect these dots
Defense this year sucked - 6th place big 12 finish and round of 32 exit
Defense you say next year will be worse - my assumption is you assume the team will also be worse. No?
-
@approxinfinity I’m being civil….u don’t see me cussing people out and dropping f bombs. Grown men still acting like their are in high school all upset over some message board fodder.
The lies part I’m missing. Assuming we are worse next year defensively than how will the team magically be better?
-
The Furph measured pretty good without shoes. Wingspan not bad? Dang, I saw the measurements earlier but have disappeared. Hearing about a stat controversy….

I’ve never said KU would be worse offensively next season did I? Self is over correcting for how bad the offense was last season and has recruited a bunch of transfers who suck on defense almost or as much as Hunter trying to get some more offense. KU probably wins a couple of more games and loses a couple of less games than last season, but it’s going to be a different set of problems next season because of how bad defensively this team will be.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I wanna be sarcastic about you caring about offense and noting how it will lead to a better team but don’t care for you to lose ur cool again.
Either way glad you recognized the other side of the ball mattering and made your claim you think we will be better next year. That we agree on

I’ve never said offense didn’t matter, but since you want to continously make shit up, you keep doing that. All I’ve been saying is that defense is the more important end of the court in determining who is a championship caliber team. If KU’s defense is as shitty as it appears to be on paper, then KU’s chances of making the Final Four next season are very slim. Alabama making the Final Four last year with their defense was a fluke, not a model. Teams with that profile tend to end up like Kentucky more often than not, not Alabama.
-
Alright i think we reached an agreement, kinda sorta
-
Wondering, were there better options re: balance of d and o we should have pursued?
