Vernon mentioned we’re looking at someone else…

So I do think they take one more player…

Any idea on who??

Is Josh playing anywhere right now?

@nuleafjhawk I believe it is $10.99 a month, but they are raising it to $11.99 a month in the near future.

I am not sure where the confusion is. The plan the whole time was to complete the West side of the stadium, and then when the money is right they will do the East side. Unfortunately, it is going to probably take awhile to finish the East side, but the West side is going to look awesome. It will enhance the game day experience 10 fold.

Grimes is just not it. It is really unfortunate he was hired this year with the talent we have. He sounded like a complete moron today.

Gotta close the deal. Hopefully sooner than later.

@kjayhawks said in Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster:

I’d pull out right now if I’m him. He’s a lottery pick next season no question if he develops. He’s guaranteed nothing as a second round pick.

This isn’t possible.

Tax payers pay for STAR bonds?

Elmarko is out for the year with a torn patella tendon. Terrible news.

For real? Oh no!

Unfortunately.

Robinson to Kentucky.

Deadline is 11:59 tonight. The one we need to be watching in Robinson. If he withdraws from the draft, it sounds like it will be a KU vs Kentucky battle for him.

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah that’s 100% what I said - solid analysis there Farmer.

People hammer Cal for his roster talent and 1 title

Bill’s had the same talent and has 2 with all those 1 seeds ect. Something to dive into there….and yes, it has to do with philosophy and minute distribution

Self has 100% absolutely not been handed the same talent as Cal… That is an insane comment.

@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:

@approxinfinity Fair points

D2’s passing angles are minimal because every team has figured out to go under ball screens with him

His ball handling isn’t good; he’s extremely loose with the ball

He’s not a legitimate KU d1 athlete he’s more mo state level

We can agree to disagree but remember all this hype for this roster and watch how it plays out this year….

Yes. Let’s watch.

It also sounds like Kugel isn’t 100% out right now. He and KU are doing everything they can to make it happen. I don’t think we would be able to add anyone with his potential if he doesn’t make it. So I assume there is some urgency on KU’s part to get it done.

@approxinfinity said in Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster:

Id like Hunters minutes to go down as well. We need him fresh for the post season.

Agree 100%. Self confirmed he was playing banged up most of the year this week. That combined with all of his minutes contributed to his regression in shooting. IMO.

Get his minutes down to 27-30 and he will be a much more efficient shooter down the stretch.

We *should have enough depth this year to keep everyone fresh.

Does UConn have a big man?

Reed from Michigan. Their backup from this yr is a stud too

Oh yea. Forgot about that. No one will replace Clingan. They are losing a ton. I’m interested to see how they do this year.

Does UConn have a big man?

@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

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

Safe to say Bill was not pleased how last year went. Let’s hope all the pieces fit and we get back to KU basketball.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:

Brea likely to Uconn

He’s a perfect fit for Hurley’s system. He should thrive there.

@PharmacyHawk He is not visiting Duke now. I think all signs point to UCONN.

@jayballer67 said in Hunter:

Is today the final day for Hunter to declare or what ?

He announced he is coming back.

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

@Woodrow said in Transfer Rumblings:

So do we think Brea is the other kid that could be visiting this weekend with Griffen?

It’s Darius Acuff.

For 2025… I was just assuming it was someone for this upcoming season.

So do we think Brea is the other kid that could be visiting this weekend with Griffen?

@BShark said in 2024 Recruiting:

buckle up

You hearing we are going after another incoming Freshman?

Tyrese Hunter is so overrated. He has regressed every year in college. That is a hard pass for me.

I feel this way too. Are we really improving by bringing in the transfers we have been targeting? Seems like there is a lot of negative information on the ones out there, they’re former teams not really upset about them leaving. Wasn’t Tyrese Hunter basically replaced?

Mayo and Kugel are both great additions. I have not seen anything negative about Mayo, and I think people thought Kugel was going to be a starter. It appears that is not going to be the case, so I don’t see anything wrong with that. He did have some attitude issues last year, but new coaching staff, teammates, and scenery can change that.

Adding Rylan G. will be HUGE. We haven’t had someone like him in few years. Big time addition if it happens.

Texas added a 3 guards / wings in one day and Hunter left. I watched Texas a lot last year, and he does nothing for me.

Alright, I’m with you. I like Mayo a lot, and obviously Griffen would be great. The attitude issues worried me with Kugel, hopefully a new start will fix all that. Saw some things about AJ Storr’s defense being real bad. And obviously the Hunter stuff we agree on.

I just hope whoever we bring in gels well together and we get back to the top with a title run next year. Need better leadership on the court, keeping everyone together and in the game. The team always seemed to fold when they got behind a little bit and before you know it they were down 20+ points and its a blowout.

Two things that I believe are that in the portal era, you just have no clue how a team gel until the ball is tipped. Look at Self’s comments from last Summer. He thought this past years team was loaded, and had a chance to make a run. Unfortunately it did not come to fruition.

Also, leadership is going to be hard to come by. Juan and KJ not being vocal leaders really hurts this team. Leaders are guys that IMO need to be in the program for a few years and understand what KU basketball is. We have those guys, but to me they are not great leaders.

@Gorilla72 said in Furphy:

Have the rules changed? It used to be when you hired an agent, you had to stay in the draft.

You can hire a approved agent and still return to school.

Scott Drew turned Kentucky down and is staying at Baylor.

Sounds like Oats, Hurley and Donovan are out. If Drew turns them down, look out!

Ummm… he pretty definitely did not do that. He was pretty clear of his intentions to stay at UCONN.

We still have 3 weeks until the portal closes. My guess who we get is not in the portal yet. I think it also depends on who takes the Kentucky job. If it’s Donovan then the carousel stops, but if it’s Drew then it keeps spinning. If it’s Drew then more and more players will become available.

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

So uh what if Zach stays at KU???

Gross

@rcjhdraft said in Transfer Rumblings:

Kobe Johnson off to UCLA

Doesn’t sound like KU ever really got too involved here.

I hope both teams move now.

@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Should we start hearing movement on our own roster in the upcoming days?

@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

I would guess this week. I’d assume all the decisions are made though.

AJ Storr from Wisconsin is officially in the portal. Now that is where we need to be looking.

What are the red flags people are talking about with Kugel?

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:

Made Kugel’s final four.

What hole does he fill, and what does he do well. Just don’t see it.

I am interested to see what kind of guys we can get considering most of the starting lineup is spoken for.

74-61 KU. We should really be able to get any shot we want. If we have less than 10 turnovers this could be an easy blowout. Break the press and get easy layups. Half court offense should go completely through Hunter. Could be a 25&15 game for him.

Hunter and Kevin will both be playing when it counts.

Was just told no Hunter or Kevin for the B12. Hope they can get healthy for the ncaa.

I don’t think the 6-7 million $$ amount that Trilly floated out there is even in the ballpark. I was told that it was half that just about two weeks ago.

This is disappointing for me. I think he is going to turn out to be a terrific college player.

@BShark said in McCullah Situation:

Believe he may actually play against Baylor.

I wish I knew this for sure, because I would take me some KU +5 w/ Kevin.

@FarmerJayhawk said in McCullah Situation:

If Kev returns to form we can make a deep run. That Maui team is still there.

This is why I have not freaked out about this season. With Kevin this team can make a run to the Final 4 or better. Without him, it doesn’t really matter. I have chosen to stay optimistic that Kevin will return to form.
