He would be the kind of addition that would make KU super salty next year. Hope KU gets involved.
-
No reason not to at this point. He’s better than Hurt will be.

Absolutely. He is better than any HS SR KU could add at this pt.
-
pay him whatever he wants to come here. I posted the comparison of stats between him and Lawson. Almost identical

Did it in the ACC and slightly better advanced numbers.
But yeah, w/e it takes.
-
He didn’t have as much usage as Lawson which was the only real difference. D Law had to carry a larger role then Blackshear did at Tech. Pretty much everything else was almost spot on. Would be a huge difference maker next year
-
Blackshear is much tougher
-
Can jump too

Most definitely my friend. - -I really don’t think we got much chance here but doesn’t hurt to try. - -What do we got to lose at this point? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Seems like KU has a real good shot at Holyfield fwiw.

well that may not be such a bad thing right?

Agreed. I think he’s best as a utility man off the bench. Bring back Doke, get Blackshear, sign Holyfield as the first big off the bench. Prosper.

Would be a high quality addition imo. We need some dudes in the front court for sure.

I would stab someone in a dark back alley to make this happen.
-
@BShark that’s why you are in prison!🥵
-
Akron grad transfer Daniel Otumi is headed to USC
-

@Crimsonorblue22 So’s my 3 year old.
-
To be honest, I’m just hoping for a couple more frosh (even 4 star) signees, a grad transfer and two jucos at this point and I’d be happy. SDS needs to leave, his appeal will be denied, the NCAA is going to make an example of him. But if anything were going to happen to Self, the program and the university he would have been ruled permanently ineligible. Did it hurt us (pun intended)? Yes. But we’ll be back, sooner - next year - rather than later.
-
Utomi to USC makes zero sense.

you don’t say???

Let’s keep track, shall we? JRE, gone elsewhere. Williamson, gone elsewhere. Hall, ditto. Hurt, yep, gone elsewhere. Three out of those 4 along with Braun and McBride sure would’ve been nice. We dropped the ball bigtime in recruiting this year. Hell, Hall and Williamson were all but begging to be Jayhawks, and I think JRE bolted due to our infatuation with Hurt. Let’s hope that coach Self has learned something (regardless of whether we land Precious and Hampton at this point) from all of this. I sure as the hell have.

The rumor is that Self screwed the pooch with Sam by pushing too hard for a commitment on the visit. Ticked off his mom.
With JRE his mom is part of one of the absolute biggest KU families there is. It seems likely to me that they might have bought into the Self leaving rumors that were hot and heavy and that could be a big reason we lost JRE.
Missing on two legacy recruits is pretty rough for sure.
Definitely didn’t show enough interest in Hall.
-
@BShark Sorry, what “Sam” are you referring to?
-
Recruiting this year has been depressing af. Legacy misses. Top target missed. USA Basketball bearing no fruit. Duke is going to steal Stanley away last minute. We clearly wasted time on guys like Wiseman we knew we had no shot at.
Really just an all around suckfest.

Sam Williamson, ended up at Louisville.

Yeah it’s a steaming pile, hopefully Self salvages something.
On the last part, I never understood it. I guess because Self ended up with Wiggins and Josh he feels he has to try in any recruitment.
-
@BShark I guess. You just knew that we were out of that one from the second they hired Penny. I would have been fine going head to head with just Cal. But there was just too much pressure on the kid to stay home.
I bet Self really wishes he would have just given Nnadji what he wanted now though…
-
Crazy to think Will Wade got reinstated. Was really hoping to poach some LSU and Arizona guys.
-
@BShark Yes. And Wiggins and Josh had such a huge impact on the University of Kansas. He should definitely try diligently to get more of those types of players…

Just think about the counterfactual of not having Wiggins or Josh and who we’d run out there. Starting Brannen Greene and Carlton Bragg all year would not be ideal.
-
@FarmerJayhawk The Josh year would have majorly sucked without him.

Sums it up perfectly.
A real suckstorm
-
@BShark, @FarmerJayhawk Josh was a good guy, good player. 31-5 is not bad for a lot of teams…
My point is - hang on to your seats - i don’t like the whole idea of OAD’s. Wiggins is a prime example. If you watched that whole season, most of the time you were looking at whomever you were watching the game with and asking them, or yourself "why isn’t this guy playing 100%? Is he hurt? Is he lazy? Is he protecting the goods?
I never got that feeling from JJ. He was a ball player. He hustled. He got his teammates involved. He was fun to watch. Ever wonder where we’d be if he were a senior this year? Oh My!!
-
We’d be hanging a banner with a SR Josh and everything else being equal but in that theoretical world more short term players would be staying in college I imagine.
-
@BShark said “more short term players would be staying in college I imagine.”
I never really thought about that. Shoot yeah. 18 year olds are pretty impressionable. So, if Zion had stayed this year, it might have sparked a whole new generation of kids who think “it must be cool to stay in college - Zion did it!”.
Dang you Zion.

Ku has reached out to St. John’s transfer LJ Figueroa. Averaged 14ppg 6 boards this past season. Former top 100 recruit
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’d still like to think about a season with a healthy embiid! Wiggs was also our best defender.

Wouldn’t help next year (has to sit) but would be a great addition.
58% from 2, 38% from 3.

He is a good sized wing. Can shoot. Just saying he can shoot is an upgrade. I’d love for him to be one of the transfers we land. Who knows though.

Jemarl Baker Jr is transferring from Kentucky. Sat his freshman year with knee Injury. Didn’t see a ton of action as a freshman but he did play well in the NCAA tournament. Kid can shoot it. Would be an intriguing sit-out candidate

Hell no.

How come??
I just think he sucks from everything I watched this season.
-
Wow, no wonder Beard was still cruitin 2019 class and transfers.
Found it odd he didn’t play this year even knowing he was injured. Wonder where he lands, I’d assume in the SEC
-
Austin Trice is transferring from KSU. Iirc Frazier brought him in so VT could be the spot.
