Transfer Rumblings
-
I get the concern about how many newbies we’ll have. Still returning the same amount of starters at least but a lot less filler in the reserve pile. The main difference this year will be bringing in 4 transfers but needing all of them to be difference makers and rotation pieces. I think we can safely shoe-in Elmarko for a major role like Gradey was able to carve out. The other 3 will probably be like Rice/Udeh/Zuby- hopefully one emerges as the season goes on.
While concerned, I’m more excited about what the roster will look like after this mania is over. He’s got all the playing time available he needs to reload the roster up

Yes on everyday that ends in Y

Moore would really be the perfect Self dude after playing for Jay.

You’re kidding.
-
@BShark I indeed am dead serious. Idk exactly how involved KU will or won’t be, but I do believe he’s transferring

I mean, we certainly should.
-
Moore get hurt last season? Medical redshirt?
-
@dylans he tore his Achilles in the Elite Eight right before we played Nova
-
The top of my board if he goes in tbh. I’d better email Bill.*
*Please note I do not have his email lmaooo
-
@FarmerJayhawk I see so the games he played were late. Also a baller if I remember correctly. Glad to see quality players will be in the portal.

Bill.self@ku.edu (probably)
-
@benshawks08 I’m guessing he has a private one. :p
-
The portal is absolute madness.
-
@Jethro Bossi mentioned that even during the season MJ’s dad was talking with Boynton. Apparently MJ hated it at KU from the start. Never unpacked basically.
-
@BShark he gonna end up at osu?
-
@BShark I love it like nfl off-season
I’m in favor of kids having 1 free transfer not sure on 2-3. When a coach switches jobs they stick it out a few years but have that immediate switch and coach ability.
Glad players do now as well
Nova kid actually gonna enter the portal? He’d be a stud. Almost wish we leave 2 spots open for these nba test guys in case they come back well after like Remy
-
@kuballin10 I think we’ll have spots open late. That’s the rumor on Moore. Wants a bigger NIL deal for his last year in college.
-
@FarmerJayhawk come on down your the next contestant on win Bill his third title!

Nova NIL sucks lol.
GOATCULLAR year two rumors are heaaating up. I heard whispers of this awhile back and just assumed bs…but now…idk I think it’s BS.

ya NEVER bought in - -you could see just a mistake- - but it’s taken care of now - -. ain’t mad at the kid , it is what it is. I still believe he can become a quality player in the right setting
-
@jayballer67 It’s very unlikely imo and not coming from anyone real.

I guess I’m kinda on the fence even if it did have some substance. - - - I mean - -GREAT DEFENDER. - pretty decent rebounder , BUT really out side game kind of inconsistent - -3 pt % - not good. - Guess wondering if the positives would outweigh the negatives IF he was to return. -If he did come back I would 100 % have no problem. Yet if he Doesn’t - - - - - -
I mean just have to wonder I mean sure probably not going to find as good of defender and yet just wonder if we can’t possibly do a little better ppg wise - - 3 pt % wise little more consistent -a real bucket getter - I have pro’s and con’s both ways. No guarantees we find better - -it’s a crap shoot-- I dunno- -I just dunno - -kind of a dam if we do - - dam if we don’t. I like him a lot I really, really do - -but can we do better ?
-
Yeah hesitated to post the Kev rumor. No legs to it.
-
Will say it is odd that we haven’t targeted a single wing in the portal yet.
-
If we did happen to get Kevin back that would be awesome.
Portal: Ike, Bamba (assuming he doesn’t go nba) and say Moore from Nova? That would be nasty! With as much as Jay Wright likes Self curious if he’s nudging Moore a little…
Elmarko who will be a stud @Jethro - just making sure you see this I’m fully on the Elmarko train! He will be off the bench which is crazy our bench should be legit with Udeh, KJ, Elmarko ect.
@BShark @FarmerJayhawk - Any clue who we prefer in what order?
-

That works out great for OSU. He’ll be a huge star just like Bryce…Oh wait…

I’ll take it. Juan/El Marko/ McCullar/Spencer/ Transfer portal?/KJ?/Udeh?
Rumor floating around Bill doesn’t want to go to battle with a 6’6" center.
-
@Jethro Bryce did better there than here but just wasn’t a good fit with us.
MJ I’m sure will go for 20 against us in Stillwater
Also - where you hearing that on Bill? He loves him some KJ

I wouldn’t totally rule it out. I don’t see McCullar getting drafted and I also don’t think he’s a lock for two-way contract if he’s not drafted. If that’s the case, he’d make more money coming back to KU from NIL deals and any non two-way pro contract. McCullar has a lot more to gain coming back than going pro. If he comes back and doesn’t improve his draft stock much, then he’s right back where he’s been the past two years, but if he does improve his draft stock, he’s in a mich better position.
-
2024 draft is weaker than 2023 right? That’s the only reason I’ve held out hope Gradey comes back
-
Gotta be honest not really enthused with any of the guys we’re linked too.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Alpha Kevin. All the shots he can handle.

I could talk myself into Ingram and Murrell. I can’t even do that with the current guys we’re linked too.

I think Murrell is a STUD so I’m not surprised Beard retained him and Brakefield.

I get it, this is kind of the first and 2nd waves. I like Bamba personally, but his process will be longer than others due to the draft.
-
Might make a play for Kadin Shedrick per EBoss
-
So it’s looking like our initial rumors of possibilities might be fizzling out - -If We can get Ike I’ll be happy , got to get him in for a visit. - -get him & jones would be nice
-
@BShark VCU kid you posted in other thread would be incredible. Double digit points, 5.8 apg and a smooth lefty.
New list
Ace
Bamba (draft withdrawal)
Jones - we sold on him athletically? Anyone else?
Ike - Reynolds whichever big KU wants
-
@kuballin10 New big to monitor Kadin Shedrick
-
@BShark why?
Averaged 3 rpg
Didn’t play much and doesn’t seem like a low post scorer
Looks like Jackson Mahomes
-
@kuballin10 I think he’s a better fit here. Definitely check out his tape. Bennett didn’t know how to use him IMO.
-
Bennett is awful I can’t stand his philosophy
Staff has whiffed a lot lately between starting a 6-6 5 man and having no bench so if they have their pick of the litter they better get it right
Ochai and Braun developing, plus a missouri st kid and remy won the title it wasn’t like pulling those kids was some big recruiting win. Heck Bill didn’t even see potential on Och initially and had to pull his redshirt after enough practices where he couldn’t be denied

Not quite true. The lifting of his RS happened around when Udoka got hurt.
I’ll grill Self a bit for keeping Cam around. The thought was that Zach was going to start so that was part of our problem trying to portal in another big last offseason.

Shedrick’s PER is in near elite territory, 24.9 this year and 23.7 in '22. His block rate has also been north of 10% the last 2 years so he would be an elite rim protector which would make up his deficiencies in rebounding. His rebounding rates are in line with what Jalen Wilson and McCullar did last season. Shedrick would definitely be huge defensive upgrade over anybody else currently on KU’s roster or connected to KU. Virginia’s leading rebounder only averaged 5.8 per game. A big part of those rebounding number is the snail’s pace Virginia plays at. He would be a double-double machine here, but at starter level minutes 10-7 seem like reasonable numbers for him. And his FT shooting and range have gotten better each year.
While he wouldn’t be a Big 12 POY candidate most likely, he would a really good addition to KU’s roster and I’d love to see him in Crimson and Blue, but I’m assuming he’ll end up elsewhere that he’d get more minutes than he would here.

Look at what the expectation of the roster was going into the season. Harris, McCullar, Dick/Rice, Wilson, and Clemence starting with bench pieces of Pettiford, Yesufu, Dick/Rice, Adams, and Udeh/Ejiofor. Most people assumed Self was going to end up with a 9/10 man rotation which isn’t normal for Self. Rice and Clemence were absolutely the two biggest bench killers this year as they were expected to play much larger roles this season and obviously didn’t for their own reasons.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 hard to use per when he plays minimal minutes
Saw some highlights he can definitely block some shots and help the back end of our defense but not 100% sold yet
