RE: Transfer Rumblings
@jayballer67 I mean it’s a fact dajuan isn’t very athletic. Doesn’t take away from the fact that he knows and plays his role
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@approxinfinity IMO I always believed athleticism manifested itself via a combination of explosion, jumping ability and speed and dajuan has never really showcased that(always plays slow and doesn’t finish great near the rim). His gifts manifest themselves via finding the open man and playing good defense. With all the scorers that we’ve gotten this offseason he just needs to keep hitting the open man.

Is Cuffe the first four star recruit to simply not care if he plays or not

@Kcmatt7 said in Early Hearings TM:
@BShark I’m just not sure you can keep him off the floor. The athleticism is off the charts and if he can shoot it at even a mediocre level he’s an All-B12 player.
A lot of buzz right now. He’s rapidly improving and the problem with Terio is a lack of consistency.
well if elmarko starts we’re definitely going to enjoy his talents for one season only

RE: Furphy
@BeddieKU23 It really is incredible that we picked this guy up in the middle of the summer and he’s probably going to become a top 20 draft pick
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
He’ll just quietly enroll and we’ll only know he committed once we see his name in the first starting lineup graphic

RE: Open as a 18 1/2 point dog to Texas
Hilariously awful game from bean. That one play where he could’ve just ran upward for the first down and pushed it to the side sticks with me

RE: Jayhawks in the pros
Ochai got traded to Toronto so I guess the raptors will be a popular team to follow now with both him and gradey

RE: 2024 recruiting thread
Honestly didn’t think we were gonna be a major part of Tre Johnson’s recruitment but I saw some Baylor people say that the big three for him were Baylor, Texas and Kansas and in one of the 247 recruiting videos, Travis Branham made the visit sound like a pretty major development. Ultimately we’ll see, seems like a Nike guy. I’d also love for Kansas to throw an offer out to VJ Edgecombe, he’s a riser in the rankings and he’ll be on the Adidas circuit this spring/summer so we should have an in

Just gonna assume duke and be pleasantly surprised if otherwise

RE: 2024 Recruiting
bill the greatest salesman in the world if he convinces queen to come on with flory already on board. the rationalizations from the other fanbases in the recruitment would be incredible

Also I didn’t realize that Jaylon Tyson was putting up over 20 a game after becoming eligible. We really hit the worst outcome possible in the portal
In the case of Tyson, he didn’t want another hard ass head coach. We did try.
Fair. Also made me realize the actual worst outcome would’ve been McCullar leaving and having to start mgbako

seems like Jesse Edwards is looking for an NIL bag and it’s a little more complicated since he’s international. Whichever team he commits to probably has to swing an international trip over the summer. Rather have Holmes
I prefer Holmes to him EASILY if he becomes available.
Holmes would be my favorite big by far if he hits the portal. Need him to leave and need him to not immediately commit to duke.
I think he would absolutely be a star playing for Bill Self.
Holmes is training with Mccullar right now in New Jersey…sadly probably means he’s weighing the draft heavily lol

Ingram looks like the better 4 but Tyson is the better small forward

I’d take Holland but no clue about his recruiting. I don’t even know why he decommited from ut.
Raising the price of the brick probably. Texas is still an option but listening heavily to Gleague and Arkansas.
Bossi said that his family wanted more promises and assurances regarding role. Guess they saw how Dillion Mitchell and arterio played this season and didn’t feel great about Texas and one and done.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
It’s pretty inexplicable that calipari didn’t get a single transfer. Out of those three players, Reeves seemed like the only one with a solid shot of coming back.

Getting a second chance and blowing it before the season starts. Probably should’ve been expected

@dylans said in Hunter Dickinson's Knee:
Has the injury been disclosed? Would like to understand the healing timeline.
I don’t think Bill said anything other than Hunter banged up his knee against TCU. I think it’s been referred to as a bruised knee. Hopefully not too much longer. By my eye he just isn’t moving the same.
I guess the silver lining is that there’s a reasonable explanation for the downward turn in play

RE: Jayhawks in the pros
@wissox said in Jayhawks in the pros:
Looks like Gradey has found his groove a bit in Toronto. 4-4 on 3’s tonight, 18 points for the 2nd game in a row and 3rd time in 5 games. Gradey is averaging 10.4 per game in February. They wouldn’t be talking about UConn as a favorite again if Gradey had stayed for another season. Same two games teammate Ochai has gotten 13 and 14 points.
I’ve seen raptors fans clamor for them to draft furphy with the success of the other two Kansas wings

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
KU showing interest in recently decommitted Auburn PG Labaron Phillon. Ranked #37 overall. A shakeup in the Auburn staff has him looking around again.
Just find a coach that wants to take me in, wants me to be a leader and true point guard to their team and community, love around the fanbase walking around the campus and visits is a great thing," he said of what he is looking for
Philon averaged 9.0 points, 2.5 rebounds and 4.5 assists a game this past weekend at the Nike EYBL with Team Thad that went 3-1 over the weekend.
“Labaron has been a big contributor to Team Thad’s early success,” said Norton Hurd IV, the Team Thad head coach and program director. “He is a five-star caliber point guard and easily a top five point guard in that class.”
Wonder if he just follows the assistant coach to Ole Miss

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark Oh yeah I just brought up spears since FSU was a part of his top 4 and I’m trying to rationalize anything so he won’t come here lol.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BShark I think it’s valid. He’s a much better defender than Hunter and I don’t think Hunter provides actual spacing. But I’m also of the belief that Hunter isn’t coming given that he seems to be entertaining a return to Michigan and his first visits are the DMV schools.

RE: 2023 Transfer Portal
@jayballer67 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
So are people still thinking Zuby or Udeh transfers out ? - - no need as we have one Scholi left and the one I know we are really serious on is Mackenzie. - -I hate the thought one or the other of them leaving - -adds really good depth
Seems to be a given that one of them leaves. They just added a guy who’s playing at least 30 minutes a game and both were top 50 recruits that probably wanted an increased role at the very least.

@BShark Kev back?
Timberlake and primo aren’t really THAT good (solid but not great)
Or you think Ingram? He isn’t what I’d call dynamic…
Someone who hasn’t portaled?
Timberlake probably UConn but maybe UNC. Kansas is no longer recruiting Primo. Ingram isn’t a guard imo.
Happy with all these developments. Need a bonafide guard starter and not a potential bench guy if Cuffe(unfortunately) refuses to leave. the new guy better than Matthew murrell?

RE: 2024 Recruiting
top 40 guard Austin Swartz is probably committing to Miami. bringing this up since they’re competition for bethea
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
Interesting that the desired trio is dickinson Ingram Timberlake. All great players but definitely lacking a bit in athleticism. Id feel better about it if we could successfully run cuffe off and open up another spot
-
RE: 2024 Recruiting
seems like anyone else other than bethea would be a pleasant surprise. And a second big
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
so given we’re pursuing a guard, ingram at the four and also looking for big men…is Marcus Adams gonna start at the 3? If kj starts feel like the spacing would be prehistoric so I don’t buy that.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Recruiting:
I like the strategy Bill is using in this class given how down it is. Get 2/3 high end talents and then you can portal for more needs.
I also see the other big Stephen that’s visiting as an intriguing option as a development piece. Not sure with his recent offers from Baylor/Michigan/Arizona whether he’d be okay being the 2nd big in a class…
This class is also kind of bad so I’m fine with the strategy they chose. Either elite cream of the crop of talent or a elite late riser like bethea
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
ant wright who’s a big ten guy said in one of his spaces that north Carolina is pushing more for Matthew Cleveland which could be seen as an indicator for how they feel about ingram. But when you look at their board they seem a little confident

Labaron Philon visiting. NOW THERE IS A BILL SELF GUARD.
Chris beard in there deep?
So is Bill. Been hanging around on this one just in case.
Seems better than v miller. Hopefully this is one of those recruitments where we ratchet up the pressure and the other competition is left in the dust
I think he’s a good fit as a player for Bill Self.
I know we have negative views about Bryce Thompson but Bill liked him a lot and tried to keep him. Think of a mix of Bryce and Dajuan Harris for Philon. Maybe some Marcus Garrett in there too.
Can’t imagine anyone would be mad with that. A dajuan who can get his own on the level that Bryce was advertised at is a pretty easy nba player. Hell just a taller dajuan in general is great.
