I’ll wait and see what happens. Time for a break

I feel about the same

Passmore is the next domino to fall it looks.

Hall had his zoom call with the staff, TBD next.

Dix took his Illinois visit. Their board is a bit optimistic he lands there it seems

Good times keep on rolling. Lots of damage done this season

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

We might he able to keep him?

Possible I guess

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

Wellp. Thats the kicker for me.

If he does leave remember that time in the season, that looms large if so

Yeah.

I would take him in a heartbeat if Dix doesn’t workout. And since he’s going through the draft process, he’s likely not looking for a destination immediately. I think being a #2 option behind Peterson would be good for him and he’s very good defender which you can never have too much of. I do think his efficiency numbers would go up at KU surrounded by better offensive players because St. John’s offense last season made KU’s look competent by comparison.

He was really good this year outside the big game so I agree he’s an ideal option.

Doesn’t look like Hall will be a hawk

Wouldn’t say that at all at this point.

KU/Ark/Ole Miss/Ohio State battle.

Interesting school list. Forgot trilly posted the OSU, Ole Miss prior. Arkansas has cash for sure

Jason Edwards- Vandy. Scores, from everywhere but not much else to his game it appears

Doesn’t look like Hall will be a hawk

Josh bascoe tape from Bucknell was fun. Small but some real quickness and finishing ability around the rim.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Always a concern but the dude put up nearly 250 3s this yr and shot 44%. 37 and 34% his first two years and big improvement this yr so perhaps it was a product of role/experience etc. His 2pt % and efg % both higher then Timberlakes best year. It sounds like a lot of other big programs are interested as well

Zach Clemence is in the portal officially.

Kind of bittersweet, had high hopes for him dating back to his sunrise days, I remember us talking about him a lot and his shooting ability that never translated up for some reason. Boy did he fall short of what he could have been. I’m glad he turned his situation around for the better. Wish him the best

Lamar Wilkerson- eyes on…

This is real right now, will have to see where it goes.

Liked his film. Another really good shooter. I see interest is high outside of us too

Bryson Tucker in the portal. I’d imagine we won’t pursue but mention anyway due to relationship

Lamar Wilkerson- eyes on…

Another old friend alert- LSU’s Vyctorious Miller in- avg nearly 9ppg as a freshman on 19 minutes per game. We were in on him last year before passing I believe. He’s got the size of a guard we could use.

Here’s a big one, Ryan Conwell from Xavier in the portal. GO get em Bill (if you can).

Reed Bailey. @BeddieKU23 to the courtesy phone LOL

Ehhh. Obviously can score and some nice skill but wouldn’t take as a starter.

Mostly the ping because he was a Brewster kid I think so your friend might have some thoughts on him if he coached him.

Asking him right now

Been going down the Josh Dix rabbit hole since he’s the first major target.

As I’ve seen in other places think Gradey Dick role with less athleticism. Seems like a smart player and is efficient. 40% career 3 pt shooter, doubled his total of made 3’s from Soph to Jr year. Good passer (nearly 3 assists a game), low turnover rate, good cutter to the basket and finishes efficiently there too which we desperately need. I can imagine a lot of kick outs from DP and whoever else for spot up 3’s and that’s a really good role for him here. Since he’s a good cutter he can get defensives focusing on his shot and get easy baskets at the hoop as well. Defensively, I’m just going to hope he’s good enough to not be picked on.

My concerns- 1 year left, you’re in the same boat next year needing to replace him. Not a great athlete but good enough. Low volume of FT’s & avg rebounding. There are trade-offs of course with him.

I see the fit, I see the need (shooting and efficiency). I think if you land him and he’s a starter the other pieces must be athletes around him so that’s where roster building is important. You add one piece to the chess board and now your subsequent moves should be reactive to that. I like this take if it happens in a vacuum but do have concerns what other pieces we pursue/get as well because I don’t think you can get another starter type player that isn’t a high level athlete.

@approxinfinity

Asking prices are out of control this cycle so yeah… Unless your program has a blank check I think you have to assume there is some disadvantage without someone in the program to manage NIL side/fundraising.

@FarmerJayhawk

Absolutely

@BShark said in The portal.:

Sounds like academics are reaaaally important to him. So that could be an issue for us.

Just saw that. Not much we can do if that’s the path he chooses

@Crimsonorblue22

If all moving that’s expected there might be only a few guys back from the current roster

@SlimShaddy54 said in The portal.:

Has anyone heard anything about any departures for sure yet ? – Kind of surprising not a peep yet

No official ones but there won’t be much left after it’s all done

Dix taking a visit to KU starting tonight then will head to Illinois after.

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

Whom would you fellows rather have, Okareke or Rataj?

Both

Silas Demary Jr in the Portal! Shall we??

If my math is correct, West Virginia does not currently have a scholarship player remaining on its roster after its coach left for Indiana.

@BShark said in The portal.:

AK Okereke is another of interest

Meant to mention him too, film was rather fun

Just absolutely bullies guys. Insanely efficient on offense.

For sure, I hope we inquire and see what’s up with him unless there’s already some destination for him

Coaches have been doing shady crap for a while now. It’s wrong but there’s a deeper root cause to it all from coaches to players.

Anyone remember this name? Ali Farokmanesh hired as coach of Colorado St.

Never had anything against CSU before, now hope they go 0-30 every year.

Couldn’t have said it better

KU working to get Dix in for a visit this weekend

Adrian Wooley, freshman from Kennesaw St. Major want…

@BShark said in The portal.:

Sounds like Creighton is out for Dix. KU vs return to Iowa, per the immaculate Trilly.

Well that’s promising

Lots of movement in the Big 12 so far.

TCU- (Allette, Collins)

West Virginia (Powell, Tenner, Devries, Hansberry)

Baylor (Asemota, Love, Adegbola)

Iowa St (Jackson, Watson)

UCF (Sellers, Hendricks, Machowski, Williams)

Utah (Wahlin, Lovering, Little, Erickson)

Arizona St (Sanon)

Josh Dix is a major target and the first one to really pay attention to it sounds. Creighton mentioned as other strong contender (UK, Illinois also involved). Also new Iowa Coach is expected to try and recruit him back.

KU Completed a zoom call with Cooper Schweiger (one of 5 to do so)

Saw where KU may have passed on him on twitter. Should be setting up visits and we shall see.

@SlimShaddy54

There are a few things I like about him and I think we ultimately just need to keep stacking these kind of athletes into each class going forward and see what sticks. Now he’s a bit old for a College Freshman so there’s a lot of skepticism he will become anything. We shall see

One to monitor at the 4, Oregon St transfer Michael Rataj. Pretty much the ideal 4 from size, skill and rebounding, can also shoot the 3.

Keyshawn Hall declared for the NBA Draft, no mention of entering the portal at this time… Sigh

Eric Bossi is saying take a lot of these with a grain of salt…

Also reporting he expects Samis Calderon to be at KU… (HS signee that’s had some doubt whether he’d be here or not)

Virginia transfer Anthony Robinson reporting interest from KU.

FAU forward Kaleb Glenn reporting interest from KU.

Malik Reneau reporting interest from KU.
