Bench chucker role
-
Avg 16 a game. Can shoot the rock. Would pursue and see where it goes
-
Pepperdine wing Ajayi to Gonzaga.
-
Old friend Bobby P back in the portal after 1 year at East Carolina.
Florida Guard Riley Kugel in the portal. Hope we pursue here.
TCU forward Jacobe Coles in the portal.
Old nemesis Eddie Lampkin in the portal for Colorado. Luke O’Brien in as well. Wonder if we look at him
Tucker Devries in the portal from Drake.
-
Portal approaching 1100 entrants
-
Old friend/commit Tre White back in the portal, leaving Louisville.
Joshua Jefferson of Saint Mary’s in, Soph forward averaged 10 and 6. Didnt play in the tournament for some reason.
Utah St freshman starter Mason Falslev averaged 11 and 4 off 56% shooting. Avg 9 and 5 in 2 tournament games.
-
UCF lost 4 players today
-
1100 entries I see. Wanting play time or better NIL? I wonder if the rating makers at Rivals, etc. are looking at their choices and seeing how right and wrong they ended up being. Furphy is sitting at around 15 in the draft. He’s gotta be gone isn’t he? I am going to watch Edey as a pro to see if he has modern center skills. There are so many mobile big guys from international countries playing now.

Lampkin. So funny. Even my wife, who occasionally watches a KU game with me, recognizes and hates Lampkin. She calls him the troublemaker who quit on his team!
-
Tony Perkins has heard from KU, guard leaving Iowa after avg 14ppg
-
Not a fan of his antics.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 Hard pass on Perkins. Flopper like Joe Toussaint from WVU/TexTech.
-
@focojayhawk another team that teaches it
-
He can score but anyone that learned defense playing for Fran is a lost cause coming to KU
-

Isaiah Moss begs to differ. He was a more than serviceable off the bench for KU and was a good defender here.
-
Speaking of flopping did anyone notice that Kevin kept begging for calls all year long? Instead of hustling back on D or going for the loose ball he would throw his arms up and look at the ref with a disgusted look - every time there was contact it seemed. That attitude bothered me. Fouled or not if you don’t hear the whistle go hard.
-
Gus Yalden now in the portal. I’m really pissed about this one, I wanted to see him play in Madison. No one knows how good he’ll be but he was a 4 star who didn’t play because of two misdemeanors just before the season started for marijuana and underage drinking. The team was silent on his status all season which was kind of frustrating. Maybe the truth will come out and I’ll realize he shouldn’t be playing at all. But if he can be fixed up he supposedly has a lot of game.
-
@dylans yep, agreed.
-
Washington St guard redshirt freshman Myles Rice in, avg 14ppg. Started both tournament games
-
Kentucky forward Adiu Thiero in, electric athlete
-

that kina surprises me and yet it doesn’t. - - Surprised not more from there
-
Minnesota forward Soph Pharrell Payne in, avg 10 and 6 with 1.4 blks per. Apparently one that got better as the season went on.
-
Wissox, do you know this kid?-- Didn’t travel with the team and didn’t play a minute .I guess he was suppose t help Wisconsin good player -Gus, Yelden-- what can you tell us ?
-
-
@jayballer67 Yalden ‘reshirted’ in part because of underage drinking ticket, a separate time he got caught with weed in his dorm, and then he crashed his moped on campus before the season started. He’s a very skilled below-the-rim PF who likely peeked as a HS soph. He also went to four high schools in four years. Could turn into something, but not worth the risk for KU
-
PJ Haggerty in, Tulsa guard started career at TCU, avg 21ppg this year good for 13th nationally
-
Danny Wolf, Center from Yale in. Would pursue
-
Reuben Chinyelu of Washington St in. Really intriguing backup big potential.
-
@nuleafjhawk I still have eligibility left not playing in college. My 35 year old knees are junk but just shot 80% from the line at the gym playing with the neighbor kid lol
-
@kjayhawks I’ll talk to Bill and have him sign you up
-
Riley Kugel smoke. Might have had a zoom call with the staff yesterday. Seems to be heating up
-
FSU forward Baba Miller in, hasn’t reached his potential yet
-
John Hugley from OU and freshman Eric Dailey of OSU in. Dailey was a top 100 kid last cycle. Going to be good somewhere
-
Portal at nearly 1200 entrants
-
Stanford forwards Brandon Angel and Maxime Raynoud are intriguing bigs that are in. Both avg double figures
-
@dylans He did, but to his defense, he got hammered more than most guys and rarely got a call.
That said, the game has certainly evolved and the amount of contact allowed seems to be higher than ever.
So he probably was thinking “hey, that was a foul” and it probably was… last year. Not this year.
There have been quite a few games in the tourney where I’ve been stunned with the physicality. I guess it’s time for players and fans like me to adjust.

-
Bowling Green Guard Marcus Hill has heard from KU since entering the portal. He avg 20ppg and was 1st team All-MAC
-
