Transfer Rumblings
-
Max Abmas from ORU is in. Biggest name in there now. Gotta go all out for him.
Maryland hired Dickisons HS coach so assuming he goes there.
LJ Cryer went in today. Gotta imagine he ends up at KSU
-
@Woodrow a guy named
cryer to ksu? Oh the absolute perfection that would be.
-
Rumor is Houston for Cryer so weāll see how that goes. Iām all for Abmas. Idk how the fit would work exactly but heās a walking bucket

Who are you hearing are the top targets as of now? Seems like names are all over the board.
-
@Woodrow there arenāt a ton. Timberlake and Ike are probably going to visit this weekend. Weāre in Spearsās top 4 but if and until thereās a visit I donāt think itās that serious.
-
Yeah abmas. I said all that needs to be said here
-
@FarmerJayhawk Love Timberlake off the bench. Hate it if heād be our starting 3ā¦
-
@BShark but he hits 3s and thatās all that matters in Modern Basketball

@BShark all Iām saying is Colgate made 40% as a team so Iām looking forward to their natty parade next week
-
I gotta think the staff has some ideas of guys that will be entering at a later date. To me, it doesnāt seem like they are being that aggressive right now.
-
I mean having a legit three point shooter is a necessity.
Dajuan/Elmarko/Kevin/Transfer/KJ or Udeh
Would just get dared to shoot all game and be the anti-thesis to modern basketball. Theyād see more walls in the paint than Giannis.

McCullah talk reaching critical temperature levels.
Dam . Do you REALLY think there is any substance bout the possibility of Kevin coming back ? - -That would be crazy. - What is your feel ? - I just canāt see it -but who knows- must be selling huge NIL if he is

The only concern I have is - Kevin needs more consistency. - Really dam good defender - -pretty decent rebounder. Just needs to become a little more consistent scorer if he comes back. GOD only knows we need someone who will score the ball next season.
-
would anyone like some Spears ?

Probably hearing from NBA folks that heās not likely to get a two deal which would pay about $1 million and his KU NIL deal would be comparable to what he would make on a G-League deal and more tha he would make anywhere else in the world.
This is pretty much what I said what happen with McCullarās draft process. If he was likely to be drafted or get a two-way deal, heād be gone, otherwise heād probably be back.
-
@TYOHawk one is fine. Some folks are going way overboard saying we have to add all these low and mid major guards just because they shoot it well at that level. In my view you put together complementary pieces who can get good, efficient offense. 3 point% is overrated.

Soo what you think ? - -you think he would be a good fit here or no ?
-
Hunter Dickinson many people are saying
-
-
Yeah, please clarify. Lol
-
Nothing is close but weāll be in it

We need shooters especially around Juan and Elmarko no offense. Teams wonāt treat them like Ben Simmons but we at least need other threats to make driving easier and not having a clogged paint. I agree we donāt need to take a bunch of mid major guards but this team needs shooting and some athleticism on the wing.
-
@Woodrow @RockkChalkk Yeah KU is firmly in the race like @FarmerJayhawk said
-
@TYOHawk the mistake is people saying we need shooters over (and at the expense of) everything else. We absolutely need scoring but Jalen and Kevin were our best rebounders and also could handle it well. Adding one dimensional guys doesnāt do anything for that.
-
I donāt think we land Dickinson. Certainly not getting my hopes up.
The fit is great. And Bill would make him a 1st team AA. But I think itās going to be damn hard to work out way into that race.

We are in the race but like itās a strong ass group. He is AWARE that Bill would let him cook and that the Big 12 is a lot more open in style than the BIG.
-
@BShark Dumb question because I didnāt watch a lick of Michigan and heās 7-1 but are we pitching him as our 4 or 5 man?
I know he could step out and hit the 3. If he played the 4 and Udeh or someone else at the 5 we wouldnāt have a rebounding problem
Or play our 4 best guards with him at the 5ā¦.filthy
-
@kuballin10 Heās definitely a 5. Canāt defend the 4 spot enough to play it imo.
-
@kuballin10 Weird guy. Great hand-eye coordination. But very stiff in the lower half and so he doesnāt move laterally super well. So we wouldnāt be able to switch everything with him in the game like we can the other bigs. Bill may try early, but I donāt think it would go well.
To me, heās basically Jeff Withey if you traded Jeffās perfect timing at blocking shots for the ability to shoot wide open 3s at a .400 clip.
-
While Jeff is mentioned - his 2012 tournament may be one of the best defensive tournament performances in KU history.
- NC State he had 10 blocks.
- Ohio state he had 7 blocks and held Sullinger to 5-19 from the field and 13 points.
- UK he had 4 blocks and held AD to 1-10 from the field.
-
@Kcmatt7 great points
Withey was a force his final year here people donāt remember how good he was. Best defensive player inside in my book. Dok was a close second. Aldrich is in the convo
-
@Kcmatt7 The UK game still hurts me more than it should and I what if about BMac

Counter point: Jeff still had some games where he had to be taken out due to poor match-ups. Udoka got himself to the point where he could defend on the perimeter reasonably well if called for.
I do not mean to in any way knock too much on Jeff though, he was great. Itās 1A (Udoka) and 1B (Jeff) imo.
-
@BShark what game(s) are you referencing?
You might be right Dok is better if he can defend multiple positions better.
-
@Kcmatt7 makes me think of dedric, dude could not move laterally
-

What if Josh Selby had come back and played that 2011-12 season healthy. Thatās another of those what ifās that I think about regularly in regards to KU having another title.

Missouri was a big one but he had several games logging under 20 minutes his JR year especially.
-
New name: Hakim Hart
-
@BShark the comeback? I remember him getting early fouls that didnāt help but must not remember that. Thought he spurred a second half comeback but logged 9 minutes lol
I swear Bill said something about his impact that half but I must be wrong
-
When is this dead period over? Im dying for some big news

Thursday at noon. KU has one visitor for Friday and is working on another.
-
My board as of right now based on need, fit, and ability:
- Dickinson
- Cryer
- Murray
- Abmas
- Hart
- Shedrick
- Spears
-
@FarmerJayhawk Duke contacted Shedrick I am in pain
Arenāt Cryer and Abmas believed to be done deals?
I DONT SEE THE WOFFORD GUY ON YOUR LIST
-
@BShark Cryer maybe? Havenāt heard on Abmas. My impression was he was on the open market unless I missed something.
Ope I always forget someone. Iād put him above Spears and thatās probably it. Not very high on a one year rental with a HUGE learning curve.
-
Whoās the Townson guard thatās in for a visit? Any legs to it?
-
@dylans Nick Timberlake will be in Friday. As far as I know weāre his only visit scheduled. UNC believes theyāre out. Heāsā¦ fine. If folks expect him to be more than JCL I think theyāre in for disappointment.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I would happily accept JCL out of him TBH. Though Iād love an impact guard. Hart + Dickinson and an impact guard. Fudge it letās go 40-0.
