2024 Portal Madness Thread
-
Read where KU has reached out to Norte Dame forward 6’10 Carey Booth , would be strictly for depth to spell KJ and Hunter it said. Shooting was not impressive but got better towards the end , decent rebounder, and averaged like 2 blocks ppg. - Again just strictly spot relief not a lot of minutes-- -but depth
-
USF wing and Conference Player of the Year Chris Youngblood in.
-
@BeddieKU23 Saw a tweet comparing him to Doke.
-
Ballo?
Very accurate, huge human with similar skills. Double double machine, can’t shoot FT’S AND high fg%
-
Kylan Boswell from Arizona in. Very surprised here. Good player. Not sure we have the means to get though
-
Mark Mitchell from Duke in…
-
Aden Holloway of Auburn in. Another big one
-
Tennessee forward Tobe Awaka in
-
Indiana St star Robbie Avila in the portal.
-
To the experts:
Currently which players in the portal are on KU’s wish list.
-
@AsadZ as of right now I think Small from OSU is the only 100% take
-
Boy , you talk about taking a kick to the nads- – -how would you like to lose ALL FIVE of your starters in ONE day.- -ALL FIVE STARTERS and then on top of that you lose three others–That’s exactly what happened to Indiana State— Mercy talk about having a rough day.
-
Mark Mitchell of Duke is from KCK. Do we pursue?
-
@Jhawk69 him and KJ are the same player except mark is longer. Not a fit
-
KU will not recruit Mark Mitchell.

Storr perhaps but I think he ends up elsewhere.

He doesn’t do anything for me, hoping we don’t try for
-
So far Dillingham- -entering NBA draft - -Bradshaw – entering portal - - Quaintance -re-opening recruitment - Knox - -De -commit - - - Hart —Portal on, & on , & on
-
@BShark There’s this about Storr. In the 2nd half UW was making a run on James Madison, cutting it to three. Made a stop and then missed what would have been a big 3 tying it up. JMU races downcourt past a jogging and indifferent Storr and made a wide open 3. Game, season over. He’s not Jayhawk material.

I don’t like him at all, but the staff seems to be recruiting him.
-
Here is ANOTHER lol - -Top 50 recruit Somo Cyril asking for release of LOI and is re-opening recruitment from Kentucky, This makes Seven
-
Whats our interest level in Ballo? Gives me some Dok flashback vibes watching his game.
-
@RockkChalkk Not on the same planet as Udoka’s senior year defensively. Maybe a target if Hunter leaves.
-
@BShark what is the latest on Hunter? I keep hearing Furphy is gone no matter the pick
-

Still think Hunter will be back

RYLAN GRIFFEN WATCH TIME.
BRING HIM HOME BILL
There is legs to this one already
-
Heard off locked on Jay Hawks podcast about the possibility Colby Rogers from WSU , I guess there has been some talk of possibility- -should we have any interest ?
Got decent stats , might be good for depth.- - 16.4 ppg --shot the ball pretty decently . --41 % fg shooter ----- BUT 41.9 from the three- -something we didn’t have one of our problems last year - -again he shot 41 % from the three. That percentage was on pretty good volume too a he averaged right at 7 attempts pre game -w hardly shot that many as a team last year - -he averaged seven per game. – - he was an 83 % free throw shooter --BUT here is something too he was a or made 47 % of his threes on spot up three’s
Plus for his career he is a 39.2 % three point shooter hitting 39.2 % on 672 attempts. Might be good for a depth piece.
-
@jayballer67 there was some early interest but (assuming we get Griffen) there won’t be a spot left

Ahh Rylan Griffin ? - - read from the banquet last night Coach Self was saying they were looking for 3-4 players hopefully from the portal

Isn’t Rylan from Alabama ? - -could be wrong
-
@jayballer67 that’s the one. As of right this second we’re at 13 scholarships so 1-2 more would have to leave to make the numbers work. McDowell and Furphy are the obvious candidates. If both leave and we get Griffen that might be the 12 we roll with come fall

You think there is a decent chance we get Griffin ?- -He is a wing right ?
-
@jayballer67 I’d say we’re the favorite right now, yeah

Awesome, team him with the other two if it happens , would say pretty solid core from Portal.
I think Zach - -& Jamari are gone-- little sad for Jamari, but just basketball world I reckon

We are at 12 unless I missed somebody here
Juan/Mayo/Kugel/KJ/HD Flory/Kease/Philon/Elmarko/Zach/Jamari/Furphy
That said Furphy is outta here.

@BShark ope yep I can’t math today

Haha no worries. Sounds like Bill will go to 13 if needed as well.
-
BYU exodus now.
-
@BeddieKU23 Robinson come on down
-
So do well feel that there has been a change of heart/circumstances where Zach sticks and fills out three man rotation at the five if Hunter comes back?
Which now think Hunter will be back, not on NBA board, so probably will, could take or leave doesn’t matter. Also don’t think we are going to wait on McNeely- -might of been good- -but he is not taking any visits until after the Jordan Tourney- -If KU has a shot to land quality portal then they will take that and McNeely will no longer be an option
-
Yeah Self said he’s the most improved player on the team. Sees him as a potential 4 man now. Toughness and getting stronger have led to better mindset. Interesting if he returms
Bossi thinks KU is done recruiting McNeeley

ya I think we are done to. - - -I saw that about Zach, if he can help the team then thats a good thing for sure
-
Is losing out on Mcneeley and hyping Zach a bad trade? Do we have enough 3 pt shooting?
-

Completely unrelated. McNeely has everything to do with Storr and Griffen.
-
Sure, ok. Im losing track. How many more are we expecting out and in? And are our likely targets All guys that shoot the 3?
-

Two more in. Griffen has a wetter, Storr more of a scorer type.
-
@FarmerJayhawk He and Griffen and I think we’d be done……
Wonder if he comes here to play the 3 (robinson)….and before you say he isn’t a three we know he won’t start at the 4
-
@kuballin10 lots to play out for that last spot yet
-
Priority remains on Griffen and Storr. They would like both if it plays out that way, Storr more dependent on Furphy leaving which is still expected. Storr is going through the draft process so his situation is likely to be unresolved for a while. Griffen is expected to be pressed by KU big time in the next week. Visited in HS for an official visit so there’s an established relationship and he has seen KU. Hopefully he’s receptive this time around
