2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread

@BeddieKU23 Blackwell the same? Highest bidder?
-
Good rule of thumb: until a visit gets locked in take all interests with a grain of salt. Sorry for the mixed metaphor
-
@wissox83 what about Blackwell?
-
Yeah he's going to get a payday wherever he goes but probably worth it imo, fan of his game. Johnson from Colorado and Taylor of UNC Asheville are the most known guard targets so far, with both expected to visit.

I think a metaphor combining a grain of salt with your thumb is perfectly reasonable as a variation on drinking tequila shots and licking salt on your hand.

David Punch in the portal.

@crimsonblu22 I'll let @wissox answer for himself...but as a Wisconsin fan as well (graduated from KU/grew up in WI)...he's a pass for me. Stats look nice. He had a tendency to pout when things didn't go well. Has all the tools to be a good defender, but no effort. He's also a sub-standard athlete that plays below the rim most of the time. He wouldn't be a Storr-like headcase, but he's not an alpha even if he wants to be.

@BeddieKU23 Make it happen, Bill!

Diop in from Arizona St. Let's see if the smoke of us working on him during the season amounts to anything.
He schooled Flory repeatedly

And then there was 2… or 3 depending on what Big Paul does(still not in the portal).
Samis Calderon is in.

Big Paul is in the portal

@Jayhawk_69 bummer, getting more depressed!
-
What does this say about Self and/or KU? He's coming back, but the entire roster with eligibility (and no NBA shot other than possibly Flory) is jumping ship. Most of the UNC roster entered, but that isn't as surprising given the coaching change. Why are other top programs consistently able to get some of their best players to come back???
-
This might have been Bill's decision. He wants to work with a clean slate.
