2020 Transfer List
-
@Marco It’s hard to believe but I just saw an article that Adam Miller is the University of Illinois’ highest ranked recruit since 2003. And he’s not terribly high, around 30 in most rankings. Of course, Bill Self was recruiting for U of I in 2003, at least partially. Adam Miller was the son of a co-worker and when I figured out who she was, he was a heavy KU lean according to her. Obviously it didn’t work out. Miller is also the highest rated incoming BIG player which at around 30 is a little hard to believe also.
When Illinois was playing for the NC all the way back to the late 70’s when DePaul was they were using Chicago kids. Hurt feelings among spurned coaches in hiring by U of I led to a unofficial boycott of the U of I by Chicago kids. Something similar happened with Ray Meyers son at Depaul who really suffered from a poor relationship with a King HS coach named Sonny Cox (who just died this week). Cox was so influential among Chicago players that basically Depaul could no longer successfully recruit Chicago kids.
Yes I think you’re right. So much talent coming out of the city. Derrick Rose, Anthony Davis, Jalen Brunson, Jabari Parker, Jahlil Okhafor all playing major roles on NC title game participants recently. I could have added Devon Dotson’s name to the list had we the chance to compete for the championship, although he wasn’t a HS player in Chicago, he spent his first decade+ there.
KU has Julian Wright, Sherron Collins and Cliff Alexander among many others from Chicago in the recent decade or so.
-
Leading scorer from East Tennessee St Bo Hodges is transferring. Would take, he was pretty darn good against KU last yr
-
Transfer Portal approaching 900 as we hit Mid May.
-
If there were a guy Bill would snatch up immediately and we’d all go wut it would be Eastern. https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/nojel-eastern-1.html

@FarmerJayhawk woof. Thankfully not happening.

Yep, we’re set. Had a long chat with a KU guy the other day and nobody expects any departures.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Great. Was Eastern playing hurt last year or something? That’s a sharp decline.

Carsen Edwards made up for a lot of flaws. The rest of the squad was just JAGs.

Eastern was never that good even when healthy. I’d rather have Haarms than Eastern and opinion of Haarms wasn’t that high to begin with.

For sure. He’s a homeless man’s Marcus Garrett. And KU was his dream school once upon a time.
-
Painter said Eastern was simply beaten out in practice by Williams. But people are wondering aloud what is up at Purdue. I’ve always liked Matt Painter. Decent coach, decent recruits, seems like a straight up type of guy. But Purdue is fundamentally flawed as a program. 0 final fours since them and Iowa choked in the 1980 final four. You look at the list of final four teams since 1980 and then realize Purdue, Missouri and KState is not on that list. It’s one thing if you don’t consider yourself a basketball school to avoid the FF, but those schools like to think they’re decent basketball schools.
-
Man that Purdue/Virginia game in the tourney two years ago was one of the best games I’ve seen in a while. Carson Edwards was unreal that game. I also enjoyed KU’s trouncing of Purdue a few years back in the S16 I believe it was? I believe it was also Purdue that we beat in 2012. Can’t say I have issue with Purdon’t and Painter seems like a perfect fit there
-
Wow that game was epic and Purdue has no one to blame but themselves! The winning play was also a losing play by Purdue because three of their guys chased the loose ball down court instead of staying home to defend their basket. Had they not lost their heads there’s no way UVA completes that miracle play and Bennett still hasn’t been to a FF and Purdue could be the rare team that reigns as national champ for more than one season!
-
Chaundee to Meeeechigan. Good pickup for them after they lost Todd.
-
Mac McClung released a Top 7. KU wasn’t on it which isn’t the point I’m making here. It’s funny that transfers have “top 7” lists now. I saw recently a football recruit release a “top 20”. funny stuff.
-
The immediate transfer rule has been tabled until next season per NCAA. Still I’d imagine just about anyone who transferred to apply for immediate waiver anyway based on Covid etc.
Self will be happy for at least another year as he was opposed to the rule change. I think most coaches will be against it

what is tabeled mean ?
-
There will be no immediate transfer rules in place until next year at earliest
-
Davide Moretti leaving Texas Tech for Euro. Been a long time rumor he would go that route
-
Huge blow for St Johns leading scorer & 2nd team All Big-easts LJ Figueroa on the move again. Read an article that made it sound as if some schools were tampering in his ear about an immediate transfer somewhere else… Oh boy
-
@BeddieKU23 who is on mcClungs list?

Oh , Oh , Oh . - -Ok gotcha. well that doesn’t really surprise me THAT much. Thanks for clearing that up for me though. - -kinda slow sometimes lol
-
Texas Tech, Auburn, Memphis, USC, BYU, Wake Forest, Arkansas
-

With Moreti gone I bet he ends up @ Tech.
-
@BeddieKU23 thx!

Tech is actually full on scholarships right now. Of course numbers always work out but he would have to sit a year so it doesn’t help losing Moretti. They have 5 star Burnett replacing him anyway
-
Iowa St added Jalen Coleman-Lands, Grad Transfer from Depaul/formerly of Illinois. Has been around longer then Perry Ellis. Avg 11 ppg on 36% FG & 32% from 3 last season
-
@BeddieKU23 so weird to me that isu gets the most hyphenated last names.
-
I’ll take a Grant-Foster over a Coleman-Lands!

And he just committed to Tech
-
Tech got a commit from Georgetown transfer Mac McClung.
-
Doesn’t help them this yr.
-
@BeddieKU23 unless he gets a waiver
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2020 Transfer List:

He’s not, he’s a sit out transfer.
-
A lot of Tech fans seem to think McClung will be eligible to play next season. I’m not sure how he would get a waiver.
But, regardless, it will be interesting to see what Beard can do with him at Tech. He needs to improve as a defender/passer and improve his shooting efficiency (only 39.4% from the floor last season).
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich A lot of fans may not be aware the transfer waiver rule got shelved until next year.

Still the NCAA is handing them out like candy.
-
He will probably claim he didn’t have a spot back at Georgetown and see what happens

Which is probably why he left.
-
Moretti? Hes been seeking a euro deal since his freshman year. Beard definitely knew to recruit in case
-
Jeez, I wish we had a spot for Mann or Nembhard. Liked both of them a lot out of HS. https://247sports.com/college/florida/Article/Andrew-Nembhard-transfers-from-Florida-Gators-Basketball-after-withdrawing-from-NBA-Draft-147669710/

@FarmerJayhawk mercy

Elijah Elliot in the transfer portal…

Lol
Edit: Where are you seeing this?
-
Verbal Commits
-
@BeddieKU23 Direct link? Checked their twitter and website. No one seems to be running with this yet. Might just be because he is a walk-on and not expected to play anyway.

Nembhard is a good player, but I think he’d be a bad fit at KU. He needs to be in very slow tempo system like Virginia’s.
-

I’m guessing he finally wants to be on scholarship somewhere. Didn’t he have some low end P5 offers out of HS and chose to walk on at KU instead?
