Ok so here is the question, seen this tossed around a little. - How seriously does anyone think Hut would consider transferring to KU ?
Didn’t pay it a lot of thought , did my typical trolling of other boards checking out different aticles. Of course the best was the UK board. - -A lot of talk. One poster said he probably shouldn’t say anything but HE KNEW why Hurt WAS transferring out. - -And of Course got pounded people asking him why?
His answer was it was all in some leaked video/audio something to that effect, Hurt said that he didn’t feel he had been treated right. - -Has taken his Duke profile pic down I guess. A lot of UK fans saying that they thought that he would end up transferring to KU. I don’t know just a lot of talk about him coming here, how KU was a heavy lean for him in the beginning and such. Someone had mentioned that he had talked to KU staff ( would that be tampering if KU had talked to him ) - again just asking I dunno.
There was some said he would be perfect fit for Gonzaga - - maybe Minnesota , but most talked more either KU or Gonzaga - then some said Gonzaga was loaded at the 4 - -KU would be looking for. a stretch 4 Kind of funny kind of went hand in hand with the way to early 2021 rankings.
Baylor 4th - - KU 8th an ( article saying KU would be looking around for a stretch 4, falls right in line for Hurt ) but he wouldn’t be eligible next year right ? - - Texas Tech 15th & West Virginia 17th for 2021.
Soo could this become a serious thing or some people just blowin smoke ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Hurt isn’t coming to KU, and probably not even leaving Dook barring the immediate eligibility rule being in effect for next year.

I’m ready for going from being hopeful& the would be nice from the sounds of it to ACTUALLY getting one to land here -how would that be? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Why do we want Bryce Aiken again? He’s 6’0’’ and doesn’t play defense. He averages more turnovers than assists and doesn’t rebound. Career 34.7% from 3. He’s Charlie Moore with slightly better shooting and worse passing and rebounding.
Carton and Bruner seem decent but I don’t think either guy moves the needle that much for us.

He’s also hurt more than Udoka. Defense would definitely be an issue on a roster that will otherwise have all above average (at a minimum) defenders outside of Jalen Wilson. I think it boils down to how confident the staff is in Harris. If they think he can soak up minutes if needed, then I think we have enough actual guards (Garrett, Thompson, Harris).
Bruner it depends on Silvio I would think. I think Silvio stays but if he doesn’t we need another big.

Watch some film on him. Report back
-
Defensively you might have a point but he is wired to score. There is a reason he is being targeted by a lot of big programs

Because he’s an elite scorer and shooter. 40% from 3 his last full season, 87% from the line. Assists would obviously go up because he’s surrounded by a lot better players. We need scoring on next year’s squad, and he’d be electric.

Towns down to dook (ew) and Ohio St. It’ll be OSU.

That home town pull. tOSU is basically a cult.
RE your take on Aiken: could definitely use some scoring punch. If we are trading Jossell for him it’s a no brainer.

Ya, I’m not buying that his assists are going to go up just because he’s surrounded by better players. Charlie Moore’s assist percentage at Cal (27.4) went way down when he came to Kansas (16.0) and then shot back up again when he transferred to DePaul (34.3). His assists might go up, but it’s not a given.
He might be an elite shooter, he’s not an elite scorer. His career average is 16.8 points with 40.6/34.7/85.3 shooting splits. Nobody who barely eclipses 40% shooting from the field in the ivy league is going to be an elite scorer in the B12. In his best season, he averaged 22.2 points with 43.4/39.8/85.5 shooting splits, and he attempted more than 15 field goals per game. That 39.8% from 3 is the best-case scenario, and he won’t get near the volume on Kansas that he did on Harvard.
So a guy whose only value to us would be shooting 3-pointers, might shoot 39.8% on low-volume while not doing much else and being a liability on defense. I think that ends up being a net negative for us. Like why even bother? Let’s just play the guys we have now. We have good players. If you want to give Aiken the 0 mpg that we were going to give Jossell next season then that’s fine I guess.

Well not sure but I think I could live with THAT 16.8 ppg for sure - that’s good enough for me for sure - -don’t give a rats ass about how ELITE that is - -don’t need ELITE got enough others to help with that. - - 39.8 from 3 works fine - just like Moss right at same range - since the moved the line back, your not finding a lot of players shooting a hell of a lot better for sure respectable enough to keep the defense honest. - I and I think quite a few others would be more then happy to take him. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Using career numbers is weird for Aiken because he’s really only been a full time starter for one year.
Aiken is a much better player than Moore. Last full season he was 8 points better from 3, 5 points better from 2, 6 better from the line. Ends up a 10 point difference in TS% on really high volume. I’ll take that every day. His TO% was less than Moore with much higher usage. All while defenses were keying on him every night. For a team that will struggle some on offense, why not add one of the best scorers out there? He’ll have a lower 2 point% just because he scores a lot off the bounce. He’ll get much better looks at KU.
I’m less worried about defense. Self is an elite defensive coach, and if he can get Isaiah Moss of all people to develop into a decent defender he can get Aiken to defend.
Shooting is like pitching in baseball. You think you have enough, add one more.
-
The biggest issue with Aiken is he has never played a full season, ever.

27.8 minutes and 11.4 field goal attempts per game as a freshman. 27.7 minutes and 10.9 field goal attempts per game as a sophomore. 32.8 minutes and 15.1 field goal attempts per game as a junior. 25.6 minutes and 12.1 field goal attempts last season. 23 games started as freshman/sophomore/last season, 17 games started as a junior. 1291 minutes played as a freshman/sophomore/last season, 591 minutes played as a junior. Why wouldn’t I use career stats? He’s played starters minutes every season at Harvard.
Aiken is a better scorer and shooter than Moore, I agree. He has a lower TOV% than Moore but he also has a lower AST% and STL%.
Aiken’s TS% is a lot better than Moore’s, but most players TS% is a lot better than Moore’s. Marcus Garrett has a higher TS% than Moore. Devon Dotson has a higher TS% than Aiken.
Overall there are just a lot of ifs. If Aiken shoots around 40% from 3, and if he can play defense, and if he can stay healthy… If he can do those things, and especially the first two, then I’d love to have him. I don’t think he can but I guess why not take a shot, right? What do we have to lose?
I’m a Colorado Rockies fan so pitching analogies do nothing for me.
-
I think they are keeping interest warm looking for a guard that can shoot and be a play-maker. Self is looking at having Garrett & Harris at PG and neither one is a reliable shooter. Aiken is a shot maker from all over the court especially from the perimeter. That’s a different skill set that adds value to a team, the same way Moss added value to this years team.
I don’t think Aiken will end up at KU since Garrett is at PG and Thompson has a high probability of starting as a freshman. I’d imagine Aiken is looking for a place to start among his choices. He was a 4 star prospect out of high school and had Power 5 teams after him before going to Harvard. The only reason he’s transferring is because of Ivy league’s rules preventing him from playing another year. He was a beloved teammate and loved by his coach. He sounds like the right type of fit for a player Self wants in a transfer. If he did seriously consider KU I think you take him. He would add a competitive, experienced body to the rotation and he brings something to the table that is missing on the current roster. Otherwise Self will have to rely a lot on a freshman to make plays. Ochai hasn’t shown he’s a consistent enough player on offense. Braun showed great potential but was playing the “4” man primarily when he was on the floor. I can see why Self is looking for a play-maker.

At least two players will be leaving Michigan.
They are expecting to land Josh Cristopher. Between him and Todd, Michigan is definitely investing in hoops.

I assumed they were going to have some transfers or someone leave early that they weren’t expecting. I’ve seen Duke listed with more transfers and grad transfers than ever before.
-
I think with how CBB is constructed now your best bet to fill your roster is to leave 1 if not 2 spots open and fill them with grad and or regular transfers. There is a ton of talent out there to be had.
