2022 Transfer Portal Thread

@Kcmatt7 We have a starting 4 secured, so I don’t think we even portal for one honestly.
My guess…1 scoring small guard, one big guard (pref scorer), one big.
-
@BShark Are you locking in Harris/CB/?/Wilson/Clemence rn for starting 5?
-
@Kcmatt7 My guess right now is Harris, Transfer, Rice, JWill, Zach/Transfer
Maybe Dick ends up starting over Rice.

Drat, losing Och and CB would really crush our outside shooting ability.
This looks like a great lineup for 1983, but maybe not for the modern outside shooting game. That transfer better be rock solid from 3, and an efficient scorer.
That is if what I’m reading about Rice is accurate…his game is more bully ball slash and powerful than outside threat at this point.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk I suspect that the shooting will sort itself out. .340 is the worst shooting team Bill has ever had. Still ended up with a 2 seed.
Majority of the time he finds a way to get the team around .380 from deep.

Just because Mj Rice is next level strong already doesn’t mean he cant shoot. He can shoot. As Self described him when he commited he is a Pure Scorer. He was at Oak Hill putting up numbers on a sorry Oak Hill teamthen transfer to Prolific Prep. Gradey is a Pure Shooter who can go to the NBA right now and be a above 40% shooter but have to work on Ball Handling more to be the complete package
-
Mj is from North Carolina only reason Duke and UNC didn’t offer and other schoolswas because he Torn his ACL his Sophomore year but bounced back from it. But schools was still hesitant but Not Self because we need players

Not a shot at MJ and his skill, but looking at the bigger picture for team needs. 3 pt shooting stands out as a need to me, that’s all.
-
Rice can shoot from the perimeter, think he’ll be a low to mid 30’s guy. He improved his shot this year as well as slimming down.

Also the pro stuff. We gambled and it paid off.

There is a 41% career 3 point shooter over three years in college on mostly tough step back looks as the primary scoring option for his team that is interested in KU.
We pray Bill looks past the lack of athleticism and that he comes out of the draft.

Also rebounds really well and passes the ball. Just a good player

I also think it is important to note that he finished 2pt shots at like .550 the past two seasons. Which bodes well for his transition to B12 ball imo. He might only finish at like .480 or .490, but that’s super solid.

Ricky Coucil IV from Wichita St in the portal. Also testing the draft waters.
Hassan Diarra from Texas A&M in the portal

Bizarre tweet from CJ. I find it hard to imagine we don’t see some transfers out.

Guess he loves blowing leads to KU

Tyrese Hunter SZN
-
@BShark wow!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Going to visit! With UNC basically pulling their offer one could say we are the front runner…
-
The game at Hilton would be AMAZING if this happens. holy moly
-
@BShark wow was on Pack.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@BShark wow was on Pack.
That’s for two years so 400k per year. We don’t publicize but from my understanding, less than some of our guys got. Starters, to be clear.

@BShark is hallmark still in Lawrence?

Best send JCL with him to manage all that coin.
Just. Wow.

Unreal amount of money. Have to imagine this makes some dominos fall though? Sets a market
-
Thinking about how the Juan/Hunter back court would just lock everyone up.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

He’s listed as a “Super Senior” on the ‘21-‘22 roster. Isn’t he out of eligibility?
-
@Gorilla72 He should be sticking around, but not as a player.
-
@Gorilla72 oh, I didn’t mean as a player! I thought I saw where he was volunteering his time teaching students how to take care of their finances. Thought it was mentioned he was sticking around.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Wants to get into coaching I know this. If he starts now instead of trying to grind pro ball for a few years he is on a much faster track.
-
@BShark I never heard the coaching part. Is he staying here?

Per trusted source he has been SOAKING up information from Bill on the bench this year. I think Bill finds a spot somewhere for him, if he wants to start that immediately.
-
JCL didnt get the role a 1500 point scorer might have expected. Never seemed once to complain or suffer because of it. Team player and wearing a championship ring. Would love to see him catch on as a coach.
-
Love JCL
-
As I remember JCL has 2 masters degrees in finance and computer something or other. I think he has developed a software program for teaching college kids about handling their money, and is using it with athletes. I think it was a KC Star article, but my subscription has lapsed so cannot check the details.
