Yeah he’s got a bit of an unorthodox shot, probably contributes to his average shooting splits but man can the kid hit tough shots and big shots when needed. Kid’s a gamer

@BShark

That commitment lasted long…

@Kcmatt7

Agree on that Starting 5, its good enough to compete for everything. Hopefully all the pieces come back. The addition of Martin is just big in so many ways. A total face lift to where things seemed to be headed lately.

Certainly takes the pressure off Pettiford to be an impact player.

Agree. It will be very interesting to see if Adams or Clemence are more ready then we may think. Each has something to give that the other doesn’t. Curry physically and athletically will hold up. Probably will be important to see what Self says about him as they get going. I have no idea what we are getting in Martin. I’m just going to hope one of them can play big and do the basic stuff we need from a backup

Certainly raised the ceiling of this team a good bit even if both Jalen or Ochai do not return. If all 3 return then Self just added the cherry on top.

At minimum its a Proven P5 player that was All Conference twice, has experience playing KU (beat us twice and hit big shots), he’s a shotmaker/playmaker and can score at all 3 levels.

In a dream scenario Self has 3 guys (Martin/Ochai/McCormack) give you consistent scoring and are go-to players. Not many programs will have that. If Jalen returns that’s 4 legit scorers. Everyone else is filling a role at that point. It’s potentially a very good problem to have

Remy makes big shots, game winners, whatever you want

@Marco

Ginormous get.

Martin, Yesufu, Agbaji, Wilson, McCormack ideally.

Harris, Braun, Martin, Pettiford.

The bench is a mess and Bill will need a 4th big to emerge in the battle between Mitch/Zach/KJ & Curry so that will be interesting to see.

Wow wow wow

@BShark

True but it seems to be the only solution without resolution to the bigger issue.

At some point Self is going to have to get assistant coaches that can recruit in this new era…

@Marco

Believe Hickman wanted to play closer to home and given the year Gonzaga had this year I don’t blame any kid that wants to join that culture. They are ‘the’ school right now.

Nolan entered the i don’t ever wanna hear your name again bank

Talk about trolling a program for an entire recruiting cycle. I can’t stand this class

Hope Bryce misses every shot he takes against us, he sure didn’t make many for us

Da Brothahood lost out on Top 5 prospect Patrick Baldwin who decided to play for his dad at Milwaukee. Can’t make this stuff up. I’m so mad about this I’ll jump for joy

@Kcmatt7

Well said. Hoping the stars align here…

Well he’s certainly not as accurate from distance as one might think but he’s made 176 3’s in his career. Really just stuck on some bad teams and had to carry a team for the past two seasons. He was a preseason All American coming into the season. KU could really use him. That would replace the scoring KU will lose from Ochai and would give Self that 1-2 inside out combination.

@BShark said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Reason to believe Remy Martin is the new top target.

And he really should be

I’ll take that anyday

Remy would solve a lot of scoring problems. Had a bit of an up and down year at AZ St but Hurley can’t coach so that’s a big part of it

shadiest recruitment in some time

Duke’s old bag man losing to the new Bag man in town.

The transfer from wake would be an ideal backup to Dave.

@BShark

No its not but doesn’t mean they didn’t keep the gift baggy. Btw I feel really bad for Efton in this situation. Doesn’t even look like he’s getting to pick his own school

Efton Reid and his momma got themselves a nice bag from Jeff Capel today. Drama city recruitment

@BShark

I get the need for another guard. Heck we need two if Ochai doesn’t return. I don’t think I’ve ever been this dumbfounded though in regards to roster moves

Going from all wings to all short guards was an interesting decision. Though if Ochai goes I would expect his replacement to be taller. That leaves basically having 2 wing types on the roster, if you count Jalen as a post player (I do).

One extreme to the next. Roster building 101 has hit rock bottom the past few cycles

@Kcmatt7

The barn is on fire as far as I’m concerned.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Sahvir Wheeler:

Could Bryce come back?

Sure he could remove himself from the portal. It’s happened this spring but it certainly seemed like one side had moved on

@BShark

@BShark

Having been through Pulman before, nobody goes there for free

@Kcmatt7

I’m all for the Yesufu/Pettiford backcourt because after Dave leaves this team can transition to a perimeter attack, that’s if Bill doesn’t find his next big to give 30% usage to

I guess I’ll just pray he gets a better ‘offer’

115 turnovers last year. 115! 2nd most in the nation last year, the leader had 116

22% turnover rate

3rd most assists- 193

PER would have been 9th on KU’s team. He’s Mitch/Tyon level.

I’m taking a break

shooting numbers scream come to KU. Spoiler alert, he can’t shoot. turnover numbers are beyond alarming

Baylor adds D-2 leading scorer Dan Bonner from Fairmont State. Looks better then ours

@BShark

Not impressed with how this has gone. Let a lot of talent go elsewhere

@jayballer67

The assistant went to Kentucky

Besides Yesufu this transfer portal for Self has been a disaster

@Kcmatt7

Glad that one will be over soon so Self can fill out the roster

Daejon Davis to Washington

Portal approaching 1550

@BeddieKU23 said in Coach Howard:

Some talk KU is looking at one of Illinois Assistant coaches. Ron Coleman

Calipari has him in the bag. Slater bombed.

Yep, happened.

At the end of the day KU shouldn’t have recruited this trio. They knew it could backfire.

@BShark

thank every basketball god they didn’t

@Marco

No doubt he had a great year and has Nike backing his recruiting efforts. Dickerson was already good before he got to Howard but not going to argue he probably was a positive for his development as a freshman.

Ryan Hawkins picked Creighton

@BShark

Good spot for him. Howard has a team again

Davante Jones picked Michigan

Rasir Bolton to Gonzaga

Adam Miller got his strong a**offer

A lot of unknowns with this still.

Adam Miller announcing Saturday. Kentucky, LSU, Michigan involved. We get it kid your getting paid again

Classic, chasing a recruit we’re very likely not going to sign
