2019 Transfer List



  • @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



  • @jayballer73

    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.



  • @BShark

    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).

    Transferring.

    Wow he is really good. 2nd best player in the American East conf

    If he can play next year I am interested.



  • @BShark

    Not sure. Trying to remember whether he redshirted



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    @BShark

    Affirmative



  • @FarmerJayhawk

    Thanks. I thought he did but I couldn’t remember specific.

    He is a good one





  • @FarmerJayhawk

    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.



  • @FarmerJayhawk

    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



  • @Kcmatt7

    Absolutely.

    I’d take him here in a heartbeat



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    hell ya. – -we need SOMEBODY that can shoot the ball - -this group we got right now is a joke



  • Can’t play behind him



  • Transfer List hits over 300.

    Another intriguing name. Daniel Utomi of Akron is grad transferring. Leading scorer at 14.2 ppg. Averaged 16ppg as a Soph. Made 93 3’s this season. 6’6 215, well built combo forward that rebounds well.



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Interested in this kind of player big time.



  • Transfer list over 350.

    More names, Makai Ashton-Langford. Georgia making room for more Nike money kids. UNLV’s entire team. Dazon Ingram of Alabama.

    Xavier landed a quality big that is eligible in Ohio transfer Jason Carter, averaged 16 and 6.



  • IDK about transfers. They had better be a target like Malik and not a desperation grab like Charlie.

    It’s hit of miss. But look at all the transfers left in the Sweet 16 that are making big impacts

    Brandon Clarke started his career at San Jose St and is a Top 2 player at Gonzaga and will be drafted in the 1st round in June.

    Texas Tech’s 3-6 leading scorers are transfers

    Michigan’s 3rd leading scorer Charles Matthews transferred from Kentucky.

    Braxton Key plays a role on Virginia’s team.

    Paul White has been an intergral part of Oregon’s tournament success so far coming from Georgetown.

    Bigby-Williams for LSU

    Houston has 2 transfers in their rotation.

    Reid Travis at Kentucky

    Cameron Johnson of UNC is their leading scorer

    This.

    You have to be involved in the transfer market now. There is too much talent to ignore. People are scared of by Charlie, but they really shouldn’t be. Two years in a row we have had a transfer be one of our better players. And we had a very positive experience with Black.

    Every year there are quality guys, it is just picking and landing the right ones.

    I don’t think it helps the way we recruit though. We are always recruiting guys deep into April when all of this shakes out, so some transfers are scared to come here.

    Cunliffe didn’t work out too well either for recency.

    Some success stories are Withey, Black, Lawson, Newman. Self has usually targeted transfers from Power 5 or bigger named schools.

    I hope we take one grad transfer at least as well as a sit-out transfer. Not sure we’ll convince enough HS talent to come here at this point with the current situations going on. There’s a real chance only 5 Letterman return as it is. Best case reality type scenario seems to be around 8 + the two signee’s. I seem to repeat this every year but Self should sign as many 2019/20 eligible players as he can find. After that get 1 sit-out with experience to mold. One year was enough of having a young team. Self needs to get old no matter how



  • I agree that you have to play in the transfer market. As @BeddieKU23 said there are a lot of teams in the S16 that have transfers and would not be there without them. It is just the way the college game has gone. Now I do think Self got a little over zealous on that here in the last couple of years, but hopefully he lands some high level kids in the next month or so and doesn’t have to take on a bunch more.

    As far as Moore goes I think the staff just absolutely whiffed on him. They thought he was going to be a legit rotation guy averaging 10ppg. He flopped. It happens.

    If Self and his staff are not scouring every avenue possible to find a shooter then they are not doing their job. They absolutely have to find a grad transfer like Hoover from Wofford that can shoot.



  • Recruiting of any sort is hit and miss, high school or transfers. Obviously some 5* HS kids didn’t pan out either. But yeah, you have to play in that market now since so many talented guys transfer. You just have to do your homework and make the best judgment you can about what kind of player and person he is.
