@Kcmatt7 makes me think of dedric, dude could not move laterally
-
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
@Kcmatt7 The UK game still hurts me more than it should and I what if about BMac
What if Josh Selby had come back and played that 2011-12 season healthy. That’s another of those what if’s that I think about regularly in regards to KU having another title.
-
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@BShark what game(s) are you referencing?
You might be right Dok is better if he can defend multiple positions better.
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 didn’t 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
Aren’t Cryer and Abmas believed to be done deals?
I DONT SEE THE WOFFORD GUY ON YOUR LIST
-
@BShark Cryer maybe? Haven’t heard on Abmas. My impression was he was on the open market unless I missed something.
Ope I always forget someone. I’d put him above Spears and that’s probably it. Not very high on a one year rental with a HUGE learning curve.
-
Who’s the Townson guard that’s in for a visit? Any legs to it?
-
@dylans Nick Timberlake will be in Friday. As far as I know we’re his only visit scheduled. UNC believes they’re out. He’s… fine. If folks expect him to be more than JCL I think they’re in for disappointment.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I would happily accept JCL out of him TBH. Though I’d love an impact guard. Hart + Dickinson and an impact guard. Fudge it let’s go 40-0.
-
JCL/Moss would be great as a starting point. Gonna eventually need to add some bodies!
-
@BShark yeah I think 8 MPG and 4 PPG is about right.
-
KSU is deep in it for Abmas, some believe the leader. @FarmerJayhawk
-
Decent!
-
Adding Timberlake to that roster makes it worse loool.
-
Gonna watch Och & CB highlights to remember when Coach liked having athletic wings.
-
Ingram in the portal. Rumor is UNC
-
Do we think Self is slow playing some guys and swinging for the fences??
-

Stanford guy said he reached out to KU and we said no.

Well, Hunter is presumably option 1.
-
Hart has a lot of highlights that remind you of Jalen and Kev’s game. Not a big fan of the set jump shot. Has size, comparable athleticism. Certainly a 3rd or 4th option kind of guy

Texas Hunter?

Yeah he would start for us.
-
Last two days have been…whew…
“dead period” looool
-
Man…are we sure on Dickinson? He’s a statue on defense. A tall one…but he just cannot move. I know that he’s more polished than Udeh/Zuby, but that doesn’t sound awesome to me. That combined with his off the charts level of douche-baggery make it a tough sell on my end
-

Will certainly be some interesting discussions if he ends up here.
-
@focojayhawk he’s definitely not the world’s best defender and we’ll have to really change what we’ve done on defense the last year. But I think he’s a guy you take and figure out the rest later.
-
Primo Spears. Get familiar
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

He’s got that dog in him. I like him more than Timberlake, a lot more.

I see you’re coming to the dark side with us
-
Juan Spears (some dude) Ingram Dickinson would slap

With Elmarko as the main rotation guy for the 1-2 yes please. I would also accept Hart at the 4.
-
@BShark Hart fo sho. Let’s go full sicko and get Tramon Mark at the 3. We’ll allow 55 a game lol
-

Are they trying to play bad boy - they thinking they gonna become relevant now with having one good year? - - possibly. we shall see, they might become a pain in our side

Of course the rest of that sentence is “for now.”
-
I watched a ton of maryland games the last two years, went to 3 games ( daughter is student there and a b-ball fan) Hakim hart was really streaky- great in spurts, then would disappear in other games… he didn’t impress me that much honestly
-
@Bosthawk Yeah he’s a good defender and decent athlete but shooter/scorer not really
Wish Bill would get the 4 best scorers and pair them with a big
-
@kuballin10 you really want to finish Bill off don’t you
-
@FarmerJayhawk huh? Not following you there
I want the 4 best basketball players
Ace Baldwin Bamba Dickinson
Not sure on the 4th but need Cuffe to leave first
-
@kuballin10 if we got the 4 best scorers in the portal Billy Eugene Self’s aorta would pop like a balloon around July 15
-
@FarmerJayhawk nah take a scorer and teach him D
Bill would have a title doing it that way
-
@kuballin10 you can say that all you want but Max Abmas will always be a sieve. Ditto Knecht, Denver Jones, Timberlake. At some point the physical tools are so limiting all the scheme and technique in the world won’t do it. Short dudes without any length who can’t move at an elite level won’t be good on defense.
-
Ace, Bamba and Dickinson are none of the names you listed above
You are creating a straw argument that I want some low d1 guys to make a leap which isn’t what I’m asking
I want DUDES - you win with legit DUDES
-
@kuballin10 no you literally said scorers. The guys I mentioned are the best pure scorers in the portal. If you mean best players just say so and don’t change your words on the fly then accuse someone of misreading you. Pro tip
-
@FarmerJayhawk fair enough best players who can score my bad
I don’t want defensive McCullar types - give me an athletic scorer who you can teach to defend (much easier than teaching a defender to score).
Best players is who those guys end up being. I want of those best players offensive guys who can score not Hart types (MD dude)
-
Not always easy to convert scorers to defenders. Guys like MJ scoring a bunch in HS, and not good accepting being a 6 min or less guy until they follow the D script.
