Has he announced?
Yessir

@Kcmatt7 Come on. You know where the money comes from, right? TV in very large part. Tickets. Products. That all creates interest. It puts the athletes on a huge stage. Let’s them further their own product. Let’s them prepare for pro sports, or for the other 95%, for a career where their involvement in such athletics gives them a huge foot in the door for the rest of their lives. Of course, that evil money funds a bunch of other non-revenue sports that wouldn’t exist, scholarships, etc. It’s a tired narrative you’re singing, my friend. All of this … all of it … benefits the student athlete.
-
@HighEliteMajor How has anything I have ever said changed anything for the 95%?
-
Another guy I’d take, this time with a KU connection. Rayjon Tucker. 6’5, averaged 20 and 7 boards, 41% from 3. Started at FGCU under Dooley. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/rayjon-tucker-1.html

One name likely to have a lot of interest already is Luwane Pipkins. Averaged 21 ppg two seasons ago. Numbers dipped to 16 ppg this season. Had 30 against Nevada this season. Just 5’11 though. Won’t be for everyone
Do not want. Looks like he regressed and his 3pt shooting is turrible. Makes me think of Chuck Moore.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Sestina looks like he could be a solid stop gap in the post.
Tucker idk, this would be his second transfer which really makes you wonder. Also doesn’t appear to play much defense. But a very good 3 pt shooter. I’d rather just return all our guards in a perfect world. Though maybe Chuck gets ran off it’s a tough sell for a grad transfer when Dotson, Grimes (if back), Garrett and Agbaji are all locks for solid minutes.
-
@BShark He left Gulf Coast when Dooley went to ECU and Little Rock just had a terrible season under a first year coach so it’s timing more than anything. I would love to return everyone but we’ll see. We may need to go 4 guards again next season.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Forgot about Dooley leaving FGCU. That makes a ton of sense then.
-
@BShark Your “Grimes, if back” statement caught my eye.
Are you thinking of a transfer? Surely nobody in the NBA could look at any of his games (except maybe two) and think “We got to get this kid into our NBA lineup”.
-
@nuleafjhawk Lots of teams in Bosnia, Australia etc…
Seen it mentioned a lot that his inner circle (in this case family) sees him as a OAD and that this year is viewed as an “off year/anomaly”.
And really who knows re NBA draft as he has shown well the last couple games and if he plays well in the NCAAT that + his pedigree could get him drafted.
-
@BShark Oh yeah, I forgot about the overseas option. Thanks!
-
@Kcmatt7 I’m not tracking with the greed thing then. My response was to demonstrate that a CEO making a couple million providing over a billion in benefits annually to its members, and the entirety of the athletes, is nothing to complain about. What’s your point?
-
J’Raan Brooks is transferring from USC. Would have to sit a year.
-
List at 230 now. Updated orig post.
UNLV’s Joel Ntambwe 6’9 is transferring. Freshman Forward averaged 11 and 5, made 44 3’s, good for 38%. Would have to sit unless they are awarding coaches being fired now.
-
Shakur Juiston announced he’s transferring. How cliche would it be to get him this time around
-

I’d take him in a New York minute. - -If I remember right we were right there till the end with him weren’t we?- plus I think maybe Iowa State? - -could be wrong - isn’t he like 6’9 right? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
That’s the guy. We offered but I don’t think he ever made it to campus. His handler put an end to that…
He’d certainly fit a role here similar to what we expected from De Sousa

YA , I was thinking he was a beast on the boards too. - What - his handler didn’t like KU or what? - -if his handler is like Silvio’s - -then we better back up and slowly walk away. - -I’m almost to a point if a kid has a guardian or handler or what the hell ever - -we ( Ku ) - needs to run - -seems like nothing goods come from these guys. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Stephen F Austin Forward TJ Holyfield will grad transfer. Sat out this season with a shoulder injury. All time leader in blocks at the school was apart of some good teams for SFA before. Can shoot the 3 as well

I have no idea what the deal was with his handler but they went for the deal that offered him the most playing time. He just had knee surgery a few months back.
-
That’s @Crimsonorblue22 s guy. Hutch juco I believe. Probably better that McCormack got the minutes this year for next years sake though.
-
List up to 265

Would take.

This article has a list of coaches being looked at to replace fired UNLV HC Marvin Menzies. It includes one current Big 12 coach and a couple of previous ones:

@dylans yep! Should have got him in the first place!

We tried, but his dude took a better deal at the time. Will be interesting to see where he goes this time, my money is on closer to home
-
He’s had surgery for a torn meniscus, must be doing better than me
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Still gimpy? Sorry to hear it. I’m a bit sore myself, but in all honesty now my other knee is feeling jealous. I can hardly fathom Tyshawn playing basketball just a week or so after his meniscus surgery!

these things are no fun for sure - -I tore mine - -turned around and re tore it -so they went in again - - now they are telling me most of my problem is behind my knee cap -still feel pressure all the time around my knee cap - -always feels really tender- aches - - a lot of times - definetly makes you take notice – still have to wear a brace on it quite a bit - man getting old for sure lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

His shooting touch rivals Marcus. Can’t endorse
-
@jayballer73 They have a replacement meniscus that is in trials right now. Only people that have had issues with their first (or second) meniscus surgery are eligible for the trial. It may be something to look into if it’s not getting better.
-
Meniscus is tricky stuff … one of the biggest complications related to ACL recovery is if the meniscus was involved. That can add multiple months to recovery. It’s better long term to have an ACL tear with no meniscus, than just meniscus tearing (as all of you with meniscus issues surely know!). My daughter deals with that and it is not fun. My older son recovered from the ACL deal without issue. Obviously more traumatic when it happened, but he has no ill effects now. Except for soreness where the ACL was attached to the tibia with a screw.
-
@HighEliteMajor It depends if it’s a repair or a trim job. Mine was just trimmed and I walked out of the hospital on crutches that I ditched after the next day. However 4 months later I still am a little stiff and probably need to start doing stretches. I’d say I’m 90% - much better than before the surgery, but still not quiet right.
Not everyone is so lucky. Others get along better.
Repairing the mensicus (stitching it back together) on the other hand has a ridiculously long recovery time.

ACL is no good either -But I like I was saying I tore my Meniscus - and then turned around and re- tore it - - to go along with a torn LCL. - So I had my torn MCL & LCL both loads of fun lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No idea what Simi Shittu is gonna do but he had a rough year at Vandy and they fired their coach. If he does transfer I’d be super interested.
-
Yeah I think he’ll go pro, not that he’s even close to ready. If he hits the transfer trail Self should be his first call.

The Garland injury really messed up everything at Vandy. The PG makes that whole situation go (or not).

If he can play next year I am interested.

Not sure. Trying to remember whether he redshirted

Rumored grad transfer. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/nathan-hoover-1.html
-
That was quick…wonder why
-
@BeddieKU23 it’s been in the works for awhile I guess. Probably just wants to play major conference ball for a year.
-
He is certainly good enough to do so. Made some tough shots today. His sidekick gave him no help
-
I’d imagine a lot of schools will be after him. Not a lot of guys can volume shoot 3s at that clip
