Kinney, Ariza and Adkins and then take a swing at McCoy is my dream class

Taylen Kinney…

Shark is the goat so glad to see him get this type of love in a tough time.

Sorry BShark

Praying for you in this tough time

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

@BeddieKU23 KU is believed to be the favorite for Ariza at this time.

My favorite guy in this class

Taylen Kinney is one to watch I think now. Not saying we land him but I think Coach likes him.

Ariza and Brandon McCoy…I need em Bland

West coast players love Tony…

No area is putting out better talent than the west coast right now so I love the hire.

Tajh Ariza

We’ve got our eyes on you…

Love it

@BShark said in Staff Change:

Believe a final interview type thing is occurring this week… Wish I had the name.

Swain just said the same

@BShark said in Staff Change:

Tony Bland another name to monitor.

Someone also told me this

@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU Roster for 25-26:

One roster spot to go. Will we fill it?

Would love a wing in that spot.

Deron Rippey and Bruce Branch 3 and I’m on the moon.

Keep us posted

Get it out brother

Glad to hear it.

Prayers up Shark

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

Catching some Caleb Holt chatter. Adidas play perhaps.

Best guard in this class.

Come on down Paul Mbiya

It’s Rosario but I wouldn’t invest too much time into that recruitment as a fan.

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

I’d take that

The ultimate cosign.

I need Cam McDowell and Ege Demir on this team Coach Self…

Who’s Ege Demir?

Our latest Euro adventure?

Correct backup big

I need Cam McDowell and Ege Demir on this team Coach Self…

Yeah I think that’s a better way of wording it than I did rcjhdraft. I’m underwhelmed by their planning and have some concerns about the coaching staff and their ability to adapt to this era.

With that said if they could wrap this portal season up and add Kerem Konan, Marko Radunovic and Pat Suemnick it would be a solid haul. I don’t think it’s likely though.

I like the 3 portal adds but I’ll also be real and say I’m underwhelmed by what they did this offseason. I understand funds may have been limited but I don’t think they planned well at all and that’s on the coaching staff.

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

I love how we are recruiting only backup bigs and not starting wings

To be fair I don’t think too many starting wings are available in June.

Nike just driving up these bidding wars and losing lol.

Flagg’s shoe deal is with New Balance, not Nike.

I know lol. Nike was trying to get him and they recently made a play for Darryn a few months ago.

Nike just driving up these bidding wars and losing lol.

@TYOHawk said in KU Roster for 25-26:

Team might be mediocre

I’ll bet against that

I hope so but barring a surprise or Darryn being a top 5 guy in the country this looks like a 21-10 type of team which is solid but isn’t a contender or in that tier. Kind of reminds me of the Oubre/Alexander team.

Team might be mediocre but we have Darryn so I’m fine with it.

Rooting for you Shark

@rockchalkjayhawk said in The portal.:

I wonder if having DP on the roster is scaring off top transfers?

He’s gonna dominate the ball.

Money is more of an issue than anything I believe.

@SlimShaddy54 said in The portal.:

Heard today that Self is meeting some resistance, combination of things-- like we just don’t have that much money left----Williams and /Sar both were in the three Millon plus rang, just flat got outbid by Wade and /NC State, w were running 300- - -500 thousand short on these.

Hear trying to hit out same donors running into losing fatigue, kinda like look you came last yr for Griffen and Storr and didn’t produce.-- Now your going to have to pay for your mistakes by winning more and us paying less, – RERSULTS boys and girls these big time donors are wanting to see results for all the money they are investing.-- - Then you got the timing of these donors being hit up for donations for the foot ball Stadium , just bad timing. A lot to is the School has lost some it’s luster that it use to have, were in a hard spot right no

STILL needing like three players a back up big, and at least a legit wing

Self has no one to blame but himself.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

KJ’s recovery is ahead of schedule and Bill is hoping that’s his last starter

Dajuan is going the Ziegler route and will try to sue the NCAA soon as well

20-11 type of team. Just enjoy the Peterson highlights

We might be a pretty average team next year man if we don’t find a considerable upgrade at the 3…

Wouldn’t mind setting aside the 14th or 15th scholarship most years for the local Direnna winner. Love to see local kids get a shot like this.

No info but I wouldn’t bank on him either.

He doesn’t make sense to me for this roster.

Would rather go after Jamir Watkins than negotiate with this kid.

Was pissed and then realized we got Darryn Peterson and Flory. I’m riding with my guys

@kuballin10 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk And staff went opposite like they always do in over correcting. Griffin a shooter to now White who shot his career best 32% last year

Just get Williams and we will be good. I’d rather have Williams anyways as I’ve said

I genuinely don’t think he’s withdrawing from the draft. They went on for months end on how they had their most talented recruit…

Well he’s gonna need some help.

I genuinely don’t understand how the staff has known they were essentially losing all their wings since January and the only plan they had in motion was Tre White.

When he didn’t announce the other day when Vernon and others put the radar out. That was a sign…

@JAYHAWKFAN214 said in The portal.:

all is well with sarr and ku his just taking his time

Rumor is tomorrow is the day

They jumped the gun a bit.

@SlimShaddy54 said in The portal.:

Just got off TOS ( the phog )- -A poster said the Jay Hawk Slant a of 3:40 this afternoon he put in a prediction that Coach Bill Self was going to be adding to his roster.— Didn’t say who it was , or when but putting in a prediction. - - -So who is it ?

Sarr
