Get him out of here. I was for a second chance but this guy doesn’t get it.

I’m honestly just thrilled we’re getting athletes again. It was such a crazy thing to watch last year with us being unathletic and not being able to shoot.

Sucks losing Kugel but man I’m really excited about a wing trio of Rylan, AJ and Rakease. We got shot creation, athleticism and spot up shooting all in one portal season

I was still celebrating the Furphy commitment and now I get Flory. Bro this is euphoria to me.

I mean he and Zuby essentially got recruited over. These kids are trying to make the NBA. They’ve got to do what’s best for them.

We got the two most athletic guys in this class. I trust Self to do the work with skill development.

Rumors are out that Acuff will be committing next Friday. Arkansas is the choice

I’ll also say this before anything occurs. I remember in 2019 being disappointed we didn’t land Samuell Williamson and instead took a local kid ranked in the 100s. The local kid turned out to be Christian Braun…we’ll be fine regardless.

@TYOHawk This guys a little bit closer to us whiffing on Ayton than Williamson lol but your point still is valid

It could be hindsight but Ayton always seemed like he wanted other schools to recruit him. Some kids just aren’t enamored with KU which is crazy to us as fans. But it’s how it goes. It’s why I truly enjoy rooting for the Zeke’s, Gradey’s and CB who grew up wanting to play at KU.

Didn’t do himself any favors with that article.

Maki Johnson @makijohnson3 3h Blessed and thankful to have received an offer from the university of Kansas

I’d pay close attention to this one. This is Andrew Wiggins girlfriend little brother. We should have an in here.

@kuballin10 We want a plus athlete on the wing. I’ve been having discussions with BShark about my opinion that we need to get more athletes on the wing. Obviously you just don’t have Wiggins, Ochai, Oubre and Braun type athletes on the wing in every class but I do think Self works best with those.

Things are looking good with Flory

I need this and a Furphy commitment

Adidas might have actually done something RE: Flory

Love to hear that. Gotta start protecting their kids the same way Nike does with their guys.

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

Following the Hunter recruitment is an absolute rollercoaster.

I’ve checked out of it for this reason alone.

@Kcmatt7 said in 2024 Recruiting:

@kuballin10 the point is that Bill has to Settle vs getting who he wants.

Makes the margin for error a bit more slim. Duke gets to bring 1st round picks off the bench lol

Exactly…Coach should be picking who he wants at this point as the active best college coach in the game by far.

@madmax said in Transfer Rumblings:

@TYOHawk KJ should have been playing the 4 spot last year, and could eventually evolve into a 3 and D role towards the end of his career here. We saw glimpses of his shooting ability last year. He was deadly 8 feet and in and showed range out to 15 feet. He will continue to develop those aspects of his game when other players finally develop enough to man the 5 spot consistently.

I think you’re very optimistic on his role. I think he’s a super charged Jamari and that’s useful.

Give me Mackenzie and I’m comfortable with the off-season.

We need another body or two. I’m weary of only having 10 scholarship guys. As far as Chris it doesn’t bother me. Only guys in the recruiting class you had to keep was Marcus and Elmarko…,

Furphy might be a need now with the Adams leaving…

I’m sorry for the victim. I was for giving the kid a second chance but I was wrong. Get this kid out of here

A lot of praise for Philon on rivals for his play the past week.

Why are so many against the kid returning? He’s been forced to play off ball the whole year and essentially adjust to a role he’s never had to do in his life. He’s one of the three-four good athletes on this team. Everybody doesn’t get it as a freshman and that’s fine.

@kjayhawks said in Transfer Rumblings:

I’m just not impressed everything I read or hear is he is a nut case and a thug last thing we need is another Morris

I think there is a very big discrepancy with being a bad or frustrated teammate like Kugel and a criminal like Morris. I’d refrain from using the thug word to this guy.

The two sources speaking

@benshawks08 said in Transfer Rumblings:

@approxinfinity I’m ready for him to go 28 min, 14 pts, 7 ast, 2.5 stl, with less than 2 turnovers a game this year.

There is no world in which he averages 14 ppg. We’ve loaded up guys who can score because it’s not his thing.

We got Griffen, Storr and Zeke…I’m on cloud 9

If Kugel makes it to campus…this will be our most athletic roster in years and that truly excites me.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Recruiting Notes:

@BShark idk if you’ve heard the same but always got the impression he’s #1 on the board

Coach has the same vision as me if so….

@FarmerJayhawk said in Early Hearings TM:

Also should say Kease could force his way into the rotation.

Heard the whispers are getting louder for my boy.

If you can clamp, Bill will find a way to play you. Kease is going to go down as one of the nastiest defenders in the Self era if he stays healthy imo. He is also our best athlete in quite awhile.

There’s something to be said about a kid like him where all the reports are about how hard he works. It makes it so easy to root for a kid like that. And we’ll need his defensive ability going against guys like Edgecombe

Staff watched Darryn Peterson and Alijah Arenas today at the Adidas event.

We got him!

@BShark Aye brother I might have to retire after this recruitment. I’m getting too old for this shit man lol

Coach is on a heater man!

Tiller, DP and Samis in a couple of weeks!

Would be more than fine with just taking Mikey, Evans and Chris Johnson as the class.

I’m ready for the Dajuan era to be over. I’m just gonna be honest and say it. Good kid and tough player but I want a shot creating pg in the modern era.

Staff has been on him for a while. It’s a gamble but he’s the athletic combo that Self loves. Was an adidas kid in HS before the Puma deal.

Freak athlete

Keep: Furphy, Hunter

On the fence: KJ and Elmarko

The rest can go honestly

I mean having a legit three point shooter is a necessity.

Dajuan/Elmarko/Kevin/Transfer/KJ or Udeh

Would just get dared to shoot all game and be the anti-thesis to modern basketball. They’d see more walls in the paint than Giannis.

@Kcmatt7 said in 2023 Recruiting:

Simeon Wilcher will NOT be going to UNC.

Rumor is they will also be losing Ian Jackson who will reclass to '23 and be a Kentucky Wildcat.

If Hubert doesn’t win this year he’s in trouble.

@Crimsonorblue22 Comment I referenced was with Hanni postgame which isn’t the media and espn+….I wasn’t lying

@TYOHawk - I just don’t get it. His protection of said player over and over when he’s been atrocious in his senior year and not “scored when he wants to”….is just proving what recruits see that Bill plays favorites.

The 1 is locked in for next year and so is the 4….there will be a reason we miss on big time recruits at those positions yet again……

Coach told us the guys around Juan have to be better. Which is 100 percent true. But if you’re only serviceable when you play next to pro wings and all conference bigs…then how good are you truly?

The constant defending and pushing the blame on other players just shows Bills true colors. It is literally never Juan’s fault in Bills mind.

I thought I would never see a player beat out Jamari or Frank as Self’s favorite. But I truly believe Dajuan has surpassed them.

Gonna watch Och & CB highlights to remember when Coach liked having athletic wings.

Get me Passmore next and I’m walking on the moon.

Get me Hunter/Livingston/Kev and if Cuffe transfers I’d take Timberlake and be ecstatic.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Recruiting:

@TYOHawk also don’t write off Flagg

Honestly think he would be the biggest get for us since Wiggs if possible.

@RockkChalkk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Its pretty remarkable that they can’t succeed in getting Cuffe out.

Honestly…it’s awkward for me to even read about and we’re just fans/posters. Self has been pretty open in interviews for at least a year that he won’t play if healthy…and NLI aside I think any athlete would actually want to play the sport. It’s like why stay?

https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/cassidy-s-takeaways-hoop-exchange-fall-festival

Only coaching staff he mentioned was ours…

Didn’t like us slow playing him when we clearly needed a 4.

Wiggs was thought to be a UK/FSU battle. Joel was thought to be a Florida/UCLA lean. Get em on campus and see where things go. He could decide to come or not but take the shot.

@BeddieKU23 Same. Just get Tyson and Dickinson.
