Prediction: Diggy Coit - Maryland

@dylans said in The portal.:

@BShark will it cap the earnings? Appearance fees can be very high if not.

That I do not know.

Heard Auburn’s number for Flory is around $3m

Need a salary cap. It would be more interesting to see how big schools budget their resources as opposed to just outspending everyone Yankees style. More interesting (at least for me- I like the numbers side too) as well as more competitive.

Isn’t the revenue sharing more or less about to put a salary cap on things?

Maybe. Supposedly. Depends on outside revenue streams. I’m not sure if NIL will 100% fall under that umbrella or if it’s just a second pot of gold for the players. 20.5 mil for all sports in total seems like less than is being spent currently.

NIL deals will have to be cleared by the NCAA now going forward. Has to be “legitimate” like the kid actually does something for the money. Makes an appearance etc

@BShark said in The portal.:

Storr could return,I’d still call it unlikely.

What a plot twist

The talk is he wants to return at this point and that Bill is mulling it over.

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

@DanR eh. Lets see. This season was high expectations and low results. Maybe next will be the opposite.

Darryn and the miracles. We ride.

Storr could return,I’d still call it unlikely.

@FarmerJayhawk said in The portal.:

I’d anticipate news of visits this week

I’m anticipating a visitor tomorrow.

Sounds like some major fundraising was done recently. Self and Goff took a fundraising trip down to Texas together. Had to improve the NIL situation with recent changes to the transfer market.

When are they going to use it!!

Hopefully soon! XD

@dylans said in The portal.:

Need contracts in the ncaa. Until then it’s just a yearly bidding war for each player that you lured in with money. Traditional recruiting has been corrupted.

Apparently going to happen soon-ish

Flory’s “handler” has been posting on the phog. About all you need to know about that guy.

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

I still won’t understand if we can’t retain Bidunga. Surely we can offer him a competitive salary and starter minutes at a flagship program. Regardless of etiquette regarding portal, won’t the ends justify the means? Flory is the key to continuity.

The main thing is maybe they don’t see Flory as a guy worth two million dollars. Maybe some more time spent talking to other players and agents will change that.

Also it’s not all about the money on this one. The locker room and culture was beyond rancid this last season.

@MR11 said in The portal.:

Anyone heard an update on what is going on with Storr? For somebody that everyone was certain that he was going to enter it is just weird that he is the last one to announce.

He will enter

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Heard a destination for Diggy could be Bama. Which is wild

That would be insane frankly. He would get toasted in the SEC.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

@BShark I read there and don’t post but agree with just about everything he and quite a few others are saying

Okay the posts were very similar down to the verbiage and saying he is a coach etc etc

The banquet is probably not going to exist going forward. A thing of the past given the new landscape of college basketball.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

@BShark Who on earth is saying this? DP decomitting would be a disaster

Seen it from a few people. To be fair, the posts were downvoted severely so I don’t think it’s a common view of the fanbase.

@BigBad said in The portal.:

The annual postseason banquet was canceled.

1, 2, 3 FAMILY!

Tells you how Bill feels about this season. Says it all really.

@TYOHawk said in Recruiting Notes:

I thought it was rbird from theshiver

Yeah I don’t know, figured I would ask. A lot of similarities.

@PharmacyHawk said in Instead of Misery:

@BShark We are all on the same team here!

Mostly yes

So is ballin10 the remysavedself guy on the phog? Read similar.

@TYOHawk I think it all ties to those people hoping for it because they believe it would mean Bill retires now. Honestly just insane.

Some “KU fans” are rooting for DP to decommit. Crazy.

Try happiness

General advice for portions of the board.

DP said we good @kuballin10

Bossi just told ballin10 to eff himself on 247 woweee

@TYOHawk said in Recruiting Notes:

They need em just to settle down the fanbase and keep things somewhat calm in the midst of all this madness. Hell even some visits might do that.

Amen brother.

Realistically, KU needs some portal commitments this week but that could be hard to make happen.

@TYOHawk Asked a friend (who happens to be a long time basketball coach) about him and he had this to say:

“I pray they don’t go that route. One of the worst defenders I’ve ever seen. He has moments that make Zeke look like Tony Allen”

@TYOHawk Thought we were on the right track with some other targets but maybe just luck

This one doesn’t make much sense to me but we do need bodies

Yeah lets not

LMAO

Like at least we are still recruiting given all the rumors out there but my god man.

The good news is Auburn has his brother so surely they will take him if they want.

@TYOHawk Would love to know where he’s reading this.

@BShark said in The portal.:

@kjayhawks He was encouraged to leave.

Too bad about Passmore. He looked like he had potential on D, and he has the proper size and athleticism to compete. I was hoping he’d stick around a few years or so as a foundational piece.

I saw a few flashes this year. Obviously limited viewing opportunities.

These are the kind of guys Bill develops.

Yeah, I wish there was time to develop anymore…

@kjayhawks said in The portal.:

@BShark I don’t agree with that but let just have to hope things work out. He looked like a good player in a few years if he stuck around. We ain’t gonna be able to get a bunch portal guys that want to sit on the bench

Ask @TYOHawk about my Passmore information. It comes from the best possible place. There is also a small scenario where he would be back but I would not bet money on that.

@kjayhawks He was encouraged to leave.

@TYOHawk said in The portal.:

I’ll root for that kid on the next stop.

Very much the same.

I’m getting there too

@TYOHawk said in Swirling Bill Rumors:

FWIW I’ve heard as long as Coach Self is here…Darryn will be here.

This is pretty much the deal.

@TYOHawk said in Swirling Bill Rumors:

I still think he does one more year personally imo. Wounds are fresh right now

This tends to be my view as well.

The truth will come out about Golden

@Kcmatt7 Yeah I think only complete bozos are actually rooting for him to leave.

I was going to take a break, but this is important. This would probably make its way here eventually so I might as well bring it up. I don’t post any of this lightly.

Caveat that it’s a bad time to ask right now etc… There is a lot of talk about Bill potentially being done now. It’s no secret that he’s been telling people next year would be his last and that had been the expectation but he is currently rather burnt out it would seem. Would hate to give this a percentage at all but it is something to monitor.

Coaching short list is rumored to be Golden/Oats/Beard in that order.

Turbulent times, my Jayhawk friends.

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

@kuballin10 try not to gloat too much. You dont want people to feel bad about agreeing with you, do you?

I’m going to abide by the golden rule right now but holy moly I need to log off

@BShark said in The portal.:

Broken trust and lack of developmental coaching…

This is the red flag for Self to shake up the coaching staff and hire a GM to manage NIL for the program.

Changes are coming.

We just gonna move Doc to a GM role

I’d die, but no.

@approxinfinity said in The portal.:

We might he able to keep him?

Nope, that’s fluff.

@BShark I hear Passmore is likely leaving too. I am really pissed that we turn our backs on kids that chose to come here. Maybe it will be different when Bill retires.

He will leave. Basically forced out.

Now this pisses me off even more.

I need a bit of a detox first but we can go in depth later.
