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

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.

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.

@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

They just have to get one of Darrion or Sarr. Hopefully he looks awful in the combine this week

I could be wrong but the contingency plans for wings has been disappointing. It was fairly obvious our wings were leaving after the season. Then we ran off Passmore as well now we just have Tre White and Samis I guess?

Yeah I don’t know man…

Waiting to hear on that as well

Bossi confirmed the Farmer scoop…

Time to seal the deal

@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:

Backup big potential Patrick Suemnick visited KU today. Wait and see mode now with him

This is sounding like it’s done

Vet cheap backup big. No complaints from me

@FarmerJayhawk said in Recruiting Notes:

Sounds like a Sarr visit this weekend

Sounds sensational. Appreciate the scoop Farmer

@BShark said in Norm Roberts Retires:

@TYOHawk What if Aaron Miles is also on staff?

Now you’ve got my attention lol.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Norm Roberts Retires:

@dylans said in Norm Roberts Retires:

@BShark Jacque Vaughn is the only person I can think that fits that mold. I’m sure there are others, but I just have a hard time imagining him wanting to go down a level.

Aaron Miles would be the other name that would meet that criteria.

Vaughn is damaged goods in the NBA. Raw deal or not, he’s not likely getting another chance to be an NBA head coach without showing on court success and the only way at this point would be to drop down to the college ranks. There is a little history of NBA coaching flame outs dropping down to the college ranks and being successful so hopefully Vaughn can follow those footsteps.

Same I’d probably hope more for Miles. Definitely wouldn’t consider the HCIW deal either. That’s how you end up with Hubert Davis running your program.

Duke is looking at Claude now so we’ll see…

They gotta get the Sarr deal done soon or I think Duke makes another run

Didn’t he cook us once?

Had the game of his life frying Hunter. Legitimately was the best game of his career and it wasn’t close.

Seems like a good vet bench big to have.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

@BShark Sarr will barely play if he comes here versus Williams starting.

Bill should only have Sarr as a backup if Williams doesn’t remove himself from the draft and come here

I got a pretty good tip from a solid source that Williams is very set on the draft…

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

@TYOHawk said in Recruiting Notes:

I’m actually gonna disagree and go with the higher upside swing imo in Sarr. You’ll lose a few more non con games but if Self gets him to lock in we would have two lottery picks on the team.

I’m thinking we could see the news you are wanting fairly soon…

Just dm’d you

Been begging for a wing for weeks. Don’t let me down Coach

pizza for everyone!

Just glad they’re not banking everything on Darrion.
