RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
Just because Mj Rice is next level strong already doesn’t mean he cant shoot. He can shoot. As Self described him when he commited he is a Pure Scorer. He was at Oak Hill putting up numbers on a sorry Oak Hill teamthen transfer to Prolific Prep. Gradey is a Pure Shooter who can go to the NBA right now and be a above 40% shooter but have to work on Ball Handling more to be the complete package

RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
I see Cb leaving and Mosley coming in but still having to fight for that starting 2 guard spot with Mj. Coach already know Gradey is starting at the 3 We got 3 McDonald All Americans coming in.2 are guards I fully expect that want to be One and Done this is the time Coach can change the narrative that he can produce em. Kids don’t care about winning much they care about Money and being One and Done. I expect Coach to unleash em so he can show future recruits he let them One and Dones run free.It’s been forever since we put Stars ina league Embiid and Wiggins 2014 so long ago for a BLUE BLOOD You know Coach think about that just like he thought about Winning Chips then did it again. I think we’ll start getting high level recruits again this just gotta be step one to show other recruits He let the Freshman go.

RE: Roster’s set ... who starts?
@BeddieKU23 Yea I’m high as shit on Bobby with Self since the Michigan State game but at Pg. When Self speak high on Bobby he says down the road the next great KU point guard. Unfortunately who knows when his time will come because Juan will never explore the NBA because he know he isn’t a NBA guard but Juan made me a believer. Juan literally got blessed by god because CB mom helped him get the KU offer then Become a decent starter for a Blue blood. Point Guards with Juan build and skill set usually are elite benchwarmers at Bluebloods but I love Juan and we wasn’t a 1 seed without him helping us setup the weirdest luckiest set of unhealthy teams we could of played. Creighton- No Center or Pg Villanova-No Justin Moore Unc-Banged up Bacot

RE: Chris Johnson Montverde c/o Elkins HS TX 23
Chris Lockett Jr a priority also Coach Self told him he’ll take him if he committed on the spot according to On3 I guess Coach was tryna be funny since we was in New Orleans for the Final Four already but we couldn’t do a in home visit because he was playing EYBL in Texas at the time.

RE: 3 4 star signings
@wissox Nah I ain’t a former coach I been here I just don’t reply to everything I’m not a Kansas either I’m a New Yorker I’m sorry if I’m trespassing and about our mayor comments I just love Kansas basketball I hate Duke and Kentucky right with you guys.

RE: The 5 spot
Not center related but Mccullar was the best player for us today in the Illinois Scrimmage from Jeff Goodman

RE: Transfer Rumblings
UConn won 12 straight NCAA tournament games by double digits that’s what you call domination.Games not even close.Our 15 point comeback in the Natty is Elite but winning 2 titles without cracking a sweat is Elite.

RE: 3 4 star signings
@Crimsonorblue22 Norm used to coach at St John I live 15 minutes from there so why not. I went to every Champion Classic at MSG since Wiggins year I knew I had to come every year energy different then you watch 2 games it’s sad it’s not here this year it’s in trash Indiana.When we played St Johns this year at they new Arena for they debut game in Long Island I was there that’s when Cb and Och both had 30 piece McNuggets

RE: 2023 Transfer Portal
@BShark Lmaoo I been seeing everything I don’t think we’re fucked but it annoys me that the name Kansas doesn’t hold as much weight as Kentucky or Duke and we have to wait so long for commitments. Like why wouldn’t you want to play for an offensive hall of fame guru and play in front packed fans in the fieldhouse that will rally around you for the win plus NLI. But we still get second guessed like Do kids not want Rings and Wins.But do think we need 2 wings and a big idk about guard but Coach want a guard.Marcus Adams Jr the only offensive wing with game but he is a freshman and injuries or a guy not being ready happens we legit have no wings but him and KJ but unless KJ can knock down a 3 he isn’t a true wing he is an athletic baby Draymond. We are loaded at Guards with the freshman I think all them can go right away and be a upgrade over the garbage bench we just had.
And I heard you say Coach Self said Ingram wasn’t athletic enough well JWill definitely couldn’t dunk but could rebound and bang with anyone.I think Ingram does that with even better passing then JWill.
This whole transfer portal is wonky with what we want and need to what’s available to us.

RE: Mikey to Memphis
Nobody really wanted Mikey anymore. Mikey always played lesser competition going to the AAC a no brainer for him

2020 Jamari Mcdowell Chris Johnson AAU Teammate
https://www.on3.com/news/4-star-jamari-mcdowell-says-hes-committing-soon-talks-schools/
I been watching him since we offered recently because he played with Chris Johnson on the Under Armour Circuit.He was killing the last 2 sessions. He is undervalued because of the Under Armour Circuit Jamari really is skilled and tough and his ranking will surely go up.He is looking to visit. I think we got a real shot at him. Most of his highlight are on twitter
Also Elijah Gertrude released top 5 earlier might visit later soon also according to On3 also

KJ Rebounding
Take it what it’s worth Hansel Emmanuel the guy with one arm for Austin Peay Averages 6 rebounds while full court pressing with one arm.Compares to KJ 3 rebounds a game.
I find that fascinating a guy with one arm can get more rebounds than baby Shaq.JWill used to go for every rebound at that 4 Spot.

RE: 2020 Jamari Mcdowell Chris Johnson AAU Teammate
@BShark I almost cried when I found out he picked Holtzman over Self but happy with Jamari and Chris already having Chemistry together from AAU just like Ochai and Cb
-
RE: KJ Rebounding
@jayballer67 Not saying he is or ever will. Just want people to know he is getting out rebounded by the only guy in D1 with 1 arm.I find that fascinating.

RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
Mj is from North Carolina only reason Duke and UNC didn’t offer and other schoolswas because he Torn his ACL his Sophomore year but bounced back from it. But schools was still hesitant but Not Self because we need players
-
RE: Elmarko Jackson
@BShark I’m very happy that we get another elite Slashing Pg last one was Dot 🥹 Him and Chris ina Backcourt is alot of Ball handling we ain’t have handles like this since Frank and Devontae
-
RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
The only way I like Mccullar is as Plan C. Get Baylor then Hunter. If all fails then Mccullar. Mccullar struggle shooting the three good mid range shooter and Elite defender. I know Coach really just want his defense
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark So we rather give a scholarship to an unproven off ball pg.Got you
Arterio could of stayed at Texas and been a starting guard.
I don’t lost a couple brain cells figuring out the plan to round out the team this one is crazy.

RE: Reasons to believe in next year’s team
@Crimsonorblue22 Correct.I forgot Jalen wasn’t starting the first couple games then Coach announced Remy wouldn’t start again after injury
-
RE: 2022 Transfer Portal Thread
@BShark Do me a favor and tell him to the the damn scholarship before Bill allow a scrub to take it first
-
RE: Reasons to believe in next year’s team
@Crimsonorblue22 Juan started every game after Remy got injured. Remy started first game vs Michigan State.

RE: 2023 Recruiting
@BeddieKU23 He wanted to schedule only 2 blue blood visits He decided on visiting Duke who already have 10 5 stars for the class and UNC who offered him after they lost GG Jackson. He have have relatives who went to UNC most likely he goes there.
-
RE: Roster’s set ... who starts?
Bobby in the starting lineup at SG A guy who never made a three yet and will be undersized. I’m high on Bobby but he is not starting this year. The best Shooter will start it’s Gradey job. We legit only have 1 other big body guard which is MJ.Kj is more of a gimme a couple minutes for Jalen at the 4. If KJ will ever be decent enough to hit corner threes consistently he can be a PJ Tucker type tough lockdown corner shooter and Injuries can happen anytime I scratch my head looking at the wing depth
-
RE: 2020 Jamari Mcdowell Chris Johnson AAU Teammate
Real shot here. Still want Taison over anybody How can you not want the Adidas Scoring leader at 24 ppg. I know Coach probably still want Mikey because of the attention it can help with future recruiting and media. I know we all have our differences on who we want
-
RE: Wounded Jayhawks game thread
I miss having 4 capable perimeter players around a big.I love KJ but the court shrinks because he isn’t on the 3pt line.Just imaging Hunt with shooters smh

RE: It will be pretty hard for me to be excited for next year's team
Pains me to see Kentucky with multiple freshman dudes that can get a bucket and we got a mid major transfer who gets lost most the time.

RE: 3 4 star signings
@BShark There is a lot to work with idk how to save and put videos here but just go to his twitter page and see the video from July 17 the tools is there ESPECIALLY the last play
-
RE: It will be pretty hard for me to be excited for next year's team
@Texas-Hawk-10 I literally said we need guards that can get a bucket and go back to 4 around 1 back to KU basketball because offense can only do so much with KJ and you’re telling me about another teams defense right now? Talking about offense
-
RE: 2023 Recruiting
@BShark Yea but At least K State better than Louisville which is crazyyy. They got 1 Pg that came from Juco who play all 40 min all 3 games so far.I know Kenny Payne wasn’t there but probably wish they have Bobby on that team rn.

RE: Beat Izzy Beat Sparty

RE: Beat Izzy Beat Sparty
