Josh Dix situation is ramping up. All the KU writers saying he is a major target.
-
@BeddieKU23 kinda surprises me a little. Yet in this new day and age of what was College Basketball , guess nothing should, just shows anything can bw bought for the right price

There’s apparently a lot of chatter about him to Kentucky as well.
-
Kentucky thinks they will get anyone
-
@BShark The chatter I’ve seen on it isn’t comimg from Kentucky sources. Did is going to be one of the most sought after players in the portal so I would expect all the bog name programs with a need to be in on Dix.

Well now really not sure what to think. Just read article from Swain about Flory experience and his first year.
Made several comments about his freshman year and where he thought he had improved and where or what he needed to work on.
Yet the thing that could be seen either way, I guess just really hadn’t thought anything on this but when asked about his future at KU, He said he was so focused on the Season he really hadn’t had time to think about it , but was probably gonna to talk to his people and see what he next step would be.
This , these six words " What his next steps would be "- -Those words’ threw me a little bit, I guess I was just taking to much for granted. Hadn’t even thought about any possibility with him about leaving. Now that could be a whole bunch of nothing OR maybe he IS or has given some thought about transferring hitting the portal , I just really hadn’t even thought about that, just assumed he would automatically be coming back. I would think with Peterson coming in and talking about how he was looking to play with Flory-- -and Flory knowing he still had work to do, it was a given----- well maybe not.
Saying all that I STILL would be shocked if he left/stunned but neve say never I guess just a little unsettling to hear, probably making a whole lot out of nothing . – What ya all think ?

Guard/Wing that played 3 years at Iowa. Great shooter, seems like a passable defender. Would be a nice fit next to DP to space the floor
-
-
Yep great shooter but more than just a shooter. Can put it on the floor a bit, really good passer, doesn’t turn it over. Did all this at the P4 level already too.
-
@rcjhdraft cool appreciated
-
Been thinking about the portal. I wish the ncaa would grant a fifth year of eligibility to players that play all five for one university. A little reward for loyalty.
-
@dylans Maybe they should just let the blue bloods in the tournament!
-
Swain reporting mutual early interest with Deuce Jones- Transfer guard from Lasalle that was A-10 Rookie of the Year as a freshman.
Josh Dix SF transfer from Iowa thinks KU will be a player for him (Creighton/UK also mentioned).
Treysen Eaglestaff reports interest from KU (Among many other top programs)
-
Pepperdine transfer G Moe Odum shares KU among programs showing interest.
-
Lajae Jones is another potential prospect, transfer from St Bonaventure.

KU if we pursue
-
@BeddieKU23 Looking at the numbers, I am not sure why we are interested in Deuce Jones.
-
Not sure if he has been mentioned yet , probably but anyways,- -Would anyone here be interested in Cooper Schwieger ? kid from Valpo. Soph- - 6’10 - --15.8 ppg — 7.8 rpg – & 2 blocks per. think he should get a look anyways and evidentially the staff does too.-- Schols that have contacted/interest so far is : Mich , KU , Baylor , Clemson , NW , LSU , Neb , BC
-
Old friend Mackenzie Mgbako in from Indiana.
Bill could form a starting 5 of 5 star missed prospects from HS from the past few cycles alone
-
Christopher Tilly- mutual interest

I may not be exaggerating by saying that dude has like a 1 inch vertical. glued to the ground.
I’d prefer more mobile, springy bigs. Remember when USC kicked our ass with the tall, athletic, mobile Mobley brothers? Like that, please.

Those kind of players don’t enter the portal. Evan Mobley was the #3 pick in the draft after his freshman year and his brother was drafted the next season after playing 3 years.

@BeddieKU23 From what I’ve hearing people no to high on Mgbako

He’s not that good but perhaps a new scenery will help. Basically had the same year back to back
-
@BeddieKU23 It’s really just a crap shoot anymore with these kids. They can be good one year and regress the next
-
Tae Davis- -Norte Dame 6’9- - -15 ppg- -good at drawing fouls made it to the stripe 199 times this year, like a Jalen Wilson mode
-
Article came out from On3, from source saying the price of a starting – P-4 has really went up-- looking at 500,000 , just crazy

In his case he has identical stats Fr to Soph yr and I’ve never seen anything like it.
But on a serious note I have always loved his size and your getting someone who has production already. He is a streaky shooter and not sure what else he does well which makes the fit difficult.
-
Personally I would love to see them go after Magoon Gwath transfer from San Diego St. Freshman with high upside, can shoot the 3 and avg 2 blocks a game as a freshman on a known good defensive team/scheme.
-
Baylor’s Langston Love in. Dealt with a bunch of injuries but talented when right
-
@SlimShaddy54 So we paid 4 P4 starters’ salaries to Hunter Dickinson two years in a row and people wonder why we sucked…
-
Old friend Elijah Fisher in. Productive yr at Pacific, very athletic dude. Small ball 4?
-
Iowa St’s Dishon Jackson in, grown man in the post
-
Sam Houston St’s Lamar Wilkerson in, deadly from 3. Avg 20ppg
-
South Carolinas Nick Pringle in, good backup big type
-
Josh Dix is visiting Creighton with Freeman from Iowa. Hopefully not his last visit or onto the next target it is.
-
@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:
KU has been in contact with Drexel transfer Kobe Magee, who was 43% from 3 on a lot of attempts. Talented shooter with good size 6’6
Visiting FSU/Wake this week.

Swain does not expect KU to pursue. Bridges burned there…
-
@Jhawk69 Probably so, I have said for some time- -Dickinson was a bad fit-- he was such a liability on defense, constantly getting beat on line drives, causing other teammates to try and support and leave their man trying to pick up Hunters. – He had about a 2 inch explosion- -vetical was pretty much non existent - Bottom line he was just slow non athletic, which w really need so badly - some mobile athletes, like Flory, sure /flory is raw but he is vey Mobile and rim protect and get out and run, I think his offense will come.
Sure Hunter could do well most times on the offensive in but it was negated on the defensive end, He showed well against smaller five men, but you put him up against a quality five man same size and he was pretty neutralized.- Just Bad, so answer to your question is-- -Yep , pretty much
-
@BeddieKU23 Ya , thta what I heard to. Heard Coach was pretty hot at the end of that fiasco
-
@BeddieKU23 That’s another one that is a little surprising - -well to me anyways lol
-
Xavier’s Dailyn Swain is intriguing.
-
Guys from Iowa got their coach fired. I wouldn’t touch Iowa guys with a 10 foot pole!
-
@wissox Fran was also a chronic underachiever and we had success with a previous Fran transfer in Isaiah Moss. I’m not opposed to an Iowa player, especially since the one KU is getting involved in addresses a dire need for shooting and scoring next season.
With Jackson, Peterson, and Flory, I think KU is going to be pretty salty defensively next season.
-
@wissox wasn’t their coach a psycho? How many times was he kicked out?
-
Perhaps a big one for us to follow. New Mexico guard Donovan Dent in the portal, Mountain West POY averaged 20ppg, 6.4 assists & 41% from 3. He’s really good and will have a Christmas list of suitors.
-
Virginia Tech guard Jaydon Young reporting interest from KU per his agent.
-
Malik Reneau reporting interest from KU.
-
FAU forward Kaleb Glenn reporting interest from KU.
