Don’t even want tbh.

Can never have enough big bodies. Going to need some guys if we lose 3 bigs.

Beggars can’t be choosers but I’d really prefer a springy forward that can defend the perimeter.
-
Ok here is a question I got. - - -With the funk Quentin is in right now - - -we are roughly like through a 1/3 of the way through the season - -so let me ask if Quentin can’t get this thing turned around by let’s say oh 1/2 through the conference season then the question become - - - - Do anybody think that there is a chance even the slightest chance that Quentin would come back for a Soph season?
The easy logical answer would be he for should - -but the question here is do you think he would? - Because currently his draft status is in a rapid free fall - - cause Currently he is such a deep funk – really got in his head. At this point I just think he is just over thinking the game to much. – Just go out and play – just turn it loose just go play.
Not only has he lost his shot - - he is not even making layups right now. - - he is making horrible decisions – making bad passes - -he is hurting the team actually - - -not really rebounding - -not scoring - -turning the ball over - -gettin himself in foul trouble - right now is just plain LOST. On top of that Coach Self’s leash is getting shorter and shorter with him -which I think sometimes you just got to let a kid play through things - -if it get’s to a point where to he is constantly looking at the bench to see if he is gonna get yanked – that’s not good. – So what you think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 If Q does not come back, then that means transfer, because if he does not make huge improvements, he has no other options.
And I am not for sure we will lose 3 bigs. DLawson and who else?
-
You can declare for the draft and not get drafted. Happens a lot. Hopefully Grimes stays though.
-
@BShark That is true. But at the rate he is going he would not get a drink of water in the G League. Not sure how many undrafted make it to the show, probably not many. Whether he stays or not, we really need Stanley to push the guards and for some scoring. Sure hope Ochai turns into a steal.

at THIS POINT _ _ _ _as of today—he sure the hell needs too taking a huge nose dive in prospect
-
Kofi Cockburn narrowed his list to 5 and KU was among them. Working on setting up visits to KU, Uconn, Pitt & St Johns. Illinois is up first for him.
I think Kofi is window dressing KU on his list and not a serious threat to leave the North East. He really isn’t the type of big KU needs in this cycle either
-
Oh and for those that care. Matthew Hurt took his 2nd official visit over the weekend to UNC as they beat Gonzaga. I’m sure that game had some impact on his recruitment to date. KU is supposed to get a visit in February but nothing has been set in stone either.
-
Jaemyn Brakefield is still being talked about as a possible reclass to the 19 class. KU definitely is involved but I wouldn’t be surprised if others did as well if that talk continues to heat up.

He doesn’t seem too thrilled to visit KU tbh.
-
I’m sure farmer prolly thinks KU still sits well with him but I dont see it

You’d be correct. I think it’s KU or Carolina. People are reading too much into him taking the process slowly. Like I’ve been saying, until recently he’s been more interested in his HS football team than college basketball. If folks think that means KU isn’t getting him, I don’t see the connection.

I haven’t seen anything - - anywhere where he said he wasn’t interested in KU anymore
-
Which game do you think he makes it in for? Texas Tech Feb 2nd or West Virginia on the 16th if he follows up on visiting in February
-
Based om play to date. the Texas Tech. game will likely be between two top 10 teams and will be nationally featured with conference title implications; the West Virginia game not so much.
-

I’ve heard Tech on the 2nd.
-
Nice, that could be a great game to attend.
-
TTech will find out what they are made of tomorrow night at Duke. Looks like Ol’ Roy plans on coaching forever. Eight year extension.
-
He is only 68, so he will be 76 at the end of his contract, not really that uncommon anymore. Coach K is 71and his contract goes to 2021 so there is a chance he retires then at age 75 although he might stay on just annoy the rest of the country.
-
The eight year extension is a thank you. Much like Snyder’s five year extension. It also can help in recruiting for at least a while to take ammo away from other coaches saying he won’t be around a player’s full four years. It really has nothing to do with whether the coach actually intends to coach that long. There may even be some sort of buyout that also the parachute to be pulled at a certain point in time.
-
Good points. I will guess UNC and Coach Williams are looking for his replacement and once they find him they will start the transition. At this time I am not sure who they would pick; some of his assistants that were also his player there and at KU are not quite at the elite level UNC would expect and UNC likes coaches within the family.
-
@JayHawkFanToo After UNCs last job search, they can go screw themselves.
-
@HighEliteMajor Matt Doherty should be available for you guys… ( lol …j/k )
-
Quade Green to Washington. As expected.
-
Good spot for him to land. Washington definitely had a need for a PG
-
KU made the top 5 for Anthony Edwards, along with FSU (his very likely destination), UNC, UGA, and UK.
-
Self and Howard are going to to see Hurt play tonight.
-
@Woodrow I’m so wanting this guy!
-
Alford is about to get canned at UCLA. Could help with Stanley though I think Oregon is the bigger threat.

I’ve been thinking that for a bit now - -I’m thinking more likely then not Afford get’s let go - -or the uncertainly might really help with UCLA - - I think our chances are getting better - hope we pull this off - -sure need him. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

About half way down is a picture of all the coaches watching Matthew Hurt. Famous faces!
-
As predicted Alford was let go.
-
@dylans WOW…he should’ve never left New Mexico…
-
Wow that’s crazy. Two significant injuries at key positions and he loses his job. Tough

And generally not being very good 5/6 years.
-
BShark mentioned this yesterday & I had been thinking along the same line since I read about this the other day - -that possibility with Alford being fired This should do nothing but help our chances with Stanley - -still going to be a challenge - -it now seems like a two team thing - - KU/Oregon - I just got to think we are in good shape - - right there.
This FBI thing shouldn’t really effect in this one - -both have been mentioned in it- - -His dad talked about how they really liked Coach - the obstacle is the Coast and closer to home - -yet I just have to feel that we MAY just pull this off - - USC no longer in the picture - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Sources: Saint Louis freshman Carte’Are Gordon will transfer. Former Top-75 recruit. Was averaging 8.9 PPG and 4.1 RPG.
— Jon Rothstein (@JonRothstein) January 2, 2019
What a shocker. I doubt we go after him if Ryan is right on the phog
-
@BeddieKU23 What is the deal there? Those are nice numbers for a FR. Have his minutes been slashed or what? I remember when he was considered a hard KU lean.
-
Not sure what the deal is but it certainly looks like his issues are in-between-his-ears

Absolutely would take him. No question about it. Stupid decision to go play for Ford at SLU in the first place.
Good rebounder. Decent scorer. Decent passer. A modern day big man who can guard all 5 positions. What’s not to like?
-
He had his chance to come to KU.
Ryan is right in that KU doesn’t need ANOTHER true 5 let alone an undersized one.

He chose his path. Certainly sounds like has some issues. That recruitment certainly seemed odd, Ryan on the phog says he’s got a handler. Those never end up well
-
@BeddieKU23 I have little doubt money will determine where he transfers to.
-
Your probably spot on.
I see Jordan Usher from USC is transferring as well. I’d imagine he’ll go somewhere in the SEC…
-
KU was in Memphis to see unsigned 6’4 guard Damion Baugh. Same aau squad as Vick. Looks good and athletic. Hes ranked #141 on 247
Certainly seems to be an option in case Dotson leaves. Why else recruit another combo point guard… ut oh
-
Baugh is known as a lockdown perimeter defender and high level passer. Looks like he is scoring the ball this season too. Hometown Memphis is certainly big competition here but with Ku having so many Memphis players it cant hurt
