well, he would qualify as a shooter we currently need. There's that. but, i don't recall much else of his game. Looks like a skinny dude.

I heard we’re in contact with James White, 6’5 wing from New Orleans. Anyone have insight on that?

Best remaining players in 2026 college basketball transfer portal, latest news

F Milan Momcilovic, Iowa State
    Latest intel: Duke, Kentucky, Florida and Kansas reportedly in the mix; declared for NBA draft but could return to college
G Juke Harris, Wake Forest
    Latest intel: The Detroit Free Press reported Michigan is out of the running, and On3 casted a prediction for Tennessee. North Carolina was also linked.
F Allen Graves, Santa Clara
    Latest intel: Duke and LSU among those in the mix; declared for NBA Draft but leaving door open to college return. He was invited to the Scouting Combine.
G Tounde Yessoufou, Baylor
    Latest intel: Another going through draft process; heavy Kentucky interest.
G Paul McNeil, NC State
    Latest intel: Another with Kentucky interest, North Carolina and Michigan reportedly involved, but a return to NC State not being ruled out. His former coach at NC State, Will Wade, is now at LSU, which could be another suitor.
F Jordan Burks, UCF
    Latest intel: A late addition to the portal, Burks had previous stops at Kentucky and Georgetown. He averaged a career-best 13.3 ppg and 4.8 rpg for the Knights this past season. A 6-9 forward who is a 37% shooter from deep should be a hot commodity.
G Hamad Mousa, Cal Poly
    Latest intel: The 6-8 Qatari guard began his career at Dayton before transferring to Cal Poly prior to last season. There he averaged 20.4 ppg, 6.3 rpg and shot 37.2% from behind the arc.
G Tijan Saine Jr., Weber State
    Latest intel:Per ESPN, Saine is hearing from Washington, Missouri, NC State, Mississippi State, LSU and Texas State.
G Vyctorius Miller, Oklahoma State
    Latest intel: He recently finished a visit to Kansas.
G Abdi Bashir Jr., Kansas State
    Latest intel: Has Zoom calls set up with Kansas and NC State and has already visited St. John's.

Five more to keep an eye on: Christian Harmon (Arkansas State), Akai Fleming (Georgia Tech), Cayden Charles (St. Bonaventure), Mihailo Petrovic (Illinois), Dennis Parker (Radford)

BBN a rare breed?

"Rare" doesn't imply quality.... just uniqueness... including bad!

I could be way off base here... but I have a feeling Self hasn't shown his hand yet. I've heard all the rumors we have maxed out on our $14-$15mil budget (if that is the amount). It just makes no sense Self would come back for this year with that budget... a budget limiting us to a middle-of-the-pack roster. Maybe we need the current drama to play out a bit more so we can get a late donor or two to kick in some big bucks. We could do some real damage with another $5mil to spend. There are plenty of nice pieces left. I wouldn't mind pairing Momcilovic with Stokes. Imagine Stokes hard drives and pass outs to Milan for the easy trey. My biggest concern is at the 5.

Last, Self is the master of picking up someone special late in the game. He's done it before... but we do have to have financial incentive available.

I see Bashir as an option if we are down to spending very little. Isn't his defense in question?

Yes

rcjhdraft

color me skeptical that bill would give bashir serious minutes. Better shooter than Dawson but he's just a horrible defender

Jayhawk_69

The question is: does he have the potential to develop into a serviceable defender with the right coaching?

DCHawker

Juke Harris to Tennessee - after already adding Hill, Ames, Lundblade, and Haralson - all of whom are arguably better than our 3. Does Tennessee really have a much bigger budget? Or, are we waiting in the hope to land someone who pulls out of the draft, e.g., Momcilovic?

drgnslayr

I don't know... seems like we gave up on playing defense anyways after our last nattie. The exception being Flory. Even Flory didn't go after every ball. Granted, he was also trying to stay out of foul trouble.
