@JayHawkFanToo Two open spots

I thought Vandy was over the schoolie limit but I have noit checked recently.
If Langford comes to KU then the team is pretty much complete for next season. If he goes elsewhere, the wait might end up hurting KU some since it might have to pass on other prospects while waiting for him. Even without Langford, the team will be very good and we all know that Coach Self is known for pulling last minute surprises; perhaps someone that will reclassify that we don’t know.
Vandy cut some weight to make room. They are 2 under waiting the Romeo thing out. Active for transfers including Matthew Moyer who they may get anyway but he’ll have to sit. It looks like they want at least 1 player for this upcoming year.
Honestly I don’t think there has been anyone available that we’ve really missed out on. I think there will be more transfers coming up when kids finish their academic years so I’d imagine a few others (maybe even better options arise). I’ve been less then impressed with what’s out there so far and you see a ton of programs reaching for some kids that played at smaller schools. Your not seeing the Malik Newman/Lawson types (while rare anyway), those are the caliber of players KU is after I would think.
Baylor actually nabbed one of the better players available but not at a position of need (PG), Davion Mitchell from Auburn (2017 #59 recruit).

I like being in a spot to be picky.

WOULD TAKE FO SHO.
Zach Johnson would be great for our golf team.
-
@BeddieKU23 Anthony Tarke intrigues me. Kid basically only played basketball his SR year of HS so he was well under the radar. Literally a 1 star recruit on ESPN. He crushed it at NJIT though. Bit of a volume shooter and needs to work on his trey but as a sit one to play two I feel he has a lot of value and could easily be a rotation level guy at a major program. The extra year off for further development will help.
However he doesn’t solve anything for next year obviously so I’m not sure he is worth taking with the 19 class being so good and KU having good options.

Yep, it’s nice lol.
The FGCU kid is the only grad transfer I would want.
We’d all like for the 13th scholarship added to be a rotation level guy because Agbaji probably won’t be ready (staff seems high on him though) and Cunliffe looks like a scrub. But it will still be a very deep and talented roster regardless.

@BeddieKU23 I didn’t think he wasn’t going to play pro overseas. I would have taken, no doubt.
I also thought he wasn’t returning to the states. Out of HS he turned down a big deal to come to NC St. I guess there wasn’t any big offers for him this time

Kameron McGusty to Miami. Former Oklahoma guard
-
Another Frank Martin casualty. David Beatty granted release
-
Transfer list approaching 500

I thought KU was giving him one more year… lol
-
I believe there were over 700 last season so I think we will have close to 800 this time around.
-
I think that’s probably an accurate number. I don’t see the numbers slowing down anytime soon
-
Oklahoma doubles up on the grad transfer route taking Aaron Calixte, from Maine.
-
The grad transfer number is probably two thirds done right now. Since there are 250 or so names that will pop up out there still, I anticipate a few more big names hitting the market. Once the draft market is set, then the transfer market will settle. Right now, Big 12 overall and KU in particular look good. I think KU is in good shape either way (with Langford) since Agbaji continues to climb.
He was ranked in the 300s a few months ago, but is more likely borderline top 100 now. He’s not Romeo Langford, obviously, but he’s not exactly a consolation prize, either. He will likely be a very good three or four year contributor in either scenario. His improvement over the last 14-18 months is amazing. If he had gone to prep school rather than college, he would be a very sought after recruit this time next year. We were lucky to be able to grab him when we did.

Matt Mooney- high scoring South Dakota guard has Texas Tech in his top 5
DeSean Murray has interest from Baylor & Maryland. Could follow his fellow teammate who committed to Baylor this week after 1 year at Auburn
Joe Cremo- is visiting Texas this weekend. Visited Creighton last week

Beard is a busy boy.

Arizona nabs Pittsburgh transfer Ryan Luther.
-
Rumblings Quade Green could transfer home to play for LaSalle. Amused by this
-
Umass Center Malik Hines will grad transfer. Avg 9 and 6 with 65% FG.

Fire sale at WSU.

Might finally be it for them.

I honestly wonder what’s going on. He was in line to start.
-
@Kcmatt7 I think Marshall is going to regret not leaving. They are not going to be very good the next couple of years.
-
@Woodrow I sure hope so.
-
Makes sense why they have had some many Juco’s and under the radar recruits on campus lately. They just signed another, Dennis they think is a hidden gem

Every WSU recruit is a stud and hidden gem. Last time I interacted with a WSU fan I asked them to tell me exactly who the studs are in this class for them and who ends up being a star and what kind of numbers do they think those kids put up.
Got a bunch of silence in response.
The kid looks like a complete unknown, but also had offers from KSU, Ole Miss and Georgia Tech.
-
Oh this whole WSU scenario - has just got me at my wits end - - Mercy - -Mercy what will they ever do Now let’s see Marshal’s real coaching ability. Not sure what the hell is going on-think it’s just been kind of a chain reaction - - -graduates - -then a player decides to test the NBA - then another player says to himself - - holy shit we lost a lot - well the hell with this I’m out don’t want to stick around for this dumpster fire - -then ANOTHER player see’s player A-leaving on top of every one else - -thinks " OH NO "- not happening -if he isn’t staying - - I’m not staying - -like I said chain reaction. - Wouldn’t cause me to faint if McDuffie didn’t end up leaving too. - OK Marsha - - work your magic lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Looks like the perfect storm at WSU is over and now is clear sailing into oblivion. Wichita has typically gone in cycles, a few good years followed by a longer period of bad years. Marshall should have left when the going was good and his value high. OTOH, if he can get his upcoming team to play at a decent or high level he will prove he is indeed a good coach.
-
Agree this will be a test for him. McDuffie if healthy is good but otherwise yeesh.
-
What a dumpster fire for Greg. Has he been slingin Gin with Lynn or what?
-
McDuffie is their only good player returning. He will be really good for them if healthy but then it’s a bunch of low ranked FR and some JUCOs. It will be a test.
-
McDuffie has never been a player to create his own shot. But yeah he’s going to be their best player by a country mile.
I don’t see anyway they will even have a winning record
-
@BeddieKU23 His SO year was extremely good. If he can return to that form with more usage he could carry them to…the NIT maybe…
-
Greggggg
-
Some rumors swirling that Reaves was in a relationship with Greg’s daughter and it went south. Shockernet seems divided on the matter.
ALSO THIS WILL STUN YOU BUT THERE IS A KU HATE THREAD ON THE FIRST PAGE.
-
@BShark NO - - surely not - - -a KU hate thread on another teams board? - -your pulling my leg - NOT WSU? - - I hear ya man. --not surprised in the least.
-
Zach Johnson transfers to Miami. Immediately eligible
Eli Wright from Miss St to St Johns.
Matthew Moyer lands at Vandy. Tea leaves involving Romeo
UNC Asheville transfer Jonathan Bahre lands at Clemson
-

Flattering
-
Transfer list over 515. Seems to have slowed a bit before classes end. I expect to see more action picking up
-
Texas Tech is interested in Wichita St bad boy transfer Austin Reaves
-
Braxton Key transferring from Alabama. Injury sidelined his 17-18 season big time. Big body, former top 50 recruit
-
Quade Green’s mother says her son will return to Kentucky.
That could put a kibosh on Haggans going to 18 class
-

This is a kid worth taking. Would do well under a real coach probably.
-

Huh. Surprising.
-
I’m actually surprised. I would be that still changes if somehow Maxey and Haggans end up in 18.
-
No kidding.
Key was really good as a freshman, I believe he declared and came back to school. Shooting numbers were down as well as his minutes. I was a fan of his in HS and I know KU had some interest before.
-
Iowa St lands Colorado St transfer Prentiss Nixon who averaged 16ppg last year. Sit one to play one. This looks like a move to cover Lindell Wigginton’s short stay in Ames.
Oklahoma St adds Mike Cunningham, a grad transfer from USC Upstate who averaged 13ppg. Immediately eligble
-
James Banks who transferred from Texas lands at Georgia Tech. Sit one to play 2
Another former Longhorn Jacob Young lands at Rutgers. Sit one to play 2
As expected Keyshawn Woods who started at Wake Forest goes to Ohio St as a grad transfer.
