Dead period coming for visits
So what that means is that it’s a dead period for recruits to come for visits?- – - - -Yet can the Coach still talk to them or is things totally shut down for awhile ?
-
in-person visit, no. communication, there’s always ways even if there wasn’t
-
@webjay as a celebrity yes as a ball player idk.
-
@dylans this is an interesting question though. Could Self manage the James’ egos and leverage it to our advantage? I don’t think so.
-
@approxinfinity I am no Lebron James fan, however I was really impressed with how he is handling any questions regarding Bronny’s transfer. Lebron said (I’m paraphrasing) Bronny has a difficult decision to make and that he would support him in whatever he chose. He sounds supportive and not at all like a Lavar Ball type. I don’t think Lebron would be a problem, but his celebrity might.
-
@approxinfinity isn’t he transferring for more playing time? Could be a problem.
-
Bronny won’t even consider an Adidas school
-
Don’t need the drama , he is nothing special - just a media show following him for the name and his health issue he had — -No Thanks
-
@FarmerJayhawk why do u think he’s leaving?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 probably because Enfield left for SMU. Might be good for him to get away from Dad too
-
Seems like the staff is serious trying to find that 3rd big man. -Might be a nice quality depth guy, KU has reached out to Christ Essandoka a 7 ft freshman in the portal from St Joesph.–Quality player to back up share with Flory , averaged 8.2 ppg in his Fr Season & 5.7 rpg- - has 3 years left, article saying he could turn into a pretty good player over time. --Shot the 3 some , pretty decent but not high volume 3 by any means–made 36.8 % from the 3 but shot only a couple per game- - might be a nie piece for back up
-
Yeah his film is intriguing
-

ya it is, might be some decent depth coming in for some minutes of the bench
-
Anyone know if Hall from Clemson might portal? I love his potential but needs good big man coach. He participated in Senior Night but is only projected as a late 2nd rd pick. Eligible for 5th season, could get polished somewhere else…
-
Is KU recruiting Johnell Davis? Seems like the team could use another 2 guard.
-
Guess he wants to play “on the ball”
-
Just announced that Ayoka Lee for KSU was granted a 7th year of eligibility smh that’s ridiculous to me.
-
Omar Ballo of Zona in the portal.
A literal huge one
-

very decent , don’t think he would want to come off the bench though
-
Tramon Mark, leading scorer of Arkansas in. Formerly at Houston. Don’t anticipate KU going after
-
Read where KU has reached out to Norte Dame forward 6’10 Carey Booth , would be strictly for depth to spell KJ and Hunter it said. Shooting was not impressive but got better towards the end , decent rebounder, and averaged like 2 blocks ppg. - Again just strictly spot relief not a lot of minutes-- -but depth
-
USF wing and Conference Player of the Year Chris Youngblood in.
-
@BeddieKU23 Saw a tweet comparing him to Doke.
-
Ballo?
Very accurate, huge human with similar skills. Double double machine, can’t shoot FT’S AND high fg%
-
Kylan Boswell from Arizona in. Very surprised here. Good player. Not sure we have the means to get though
-
Mark Mitchell from Duke in…
-
Aden Holloway of Auburn in. Another big one
-
Tennessee forward Tobe Awaka in
-
Indiana St star Robbie Avila in the portal.
-
To the experts:
Currently which players in the portal are on KU’s wish list.
-
@AsadZ as of right now I think Small from OSU is the only 100% take
-
Boy , you talk about taking a kick to the nads- – -how would you like to lose ALL FIVE of your starters in ONE day.- -ALL FIVE STARTERS and then on top of that you lose three others–That’s exactly what happened to Indiana State— Mercy talk about having a rough day.
-
Mark Mitchell of Duke is from KCK. Do we pursue?
-
@Jhawk69 him and KJ are the same player except mark is longer. Not a fit
-
KU will not recruit Mark Mitchell.

Storr perhaps but I think he ends up elsewhere.

He doesn’t do anything for me, hoping we don’t try for
-
So far Dillingham- -entering NBA draft - -Bradshaw – entering portal - - Quaintance -re-opening recruitment - Knox - -De -commit - - - Hart —Portal on, & on , & on
-
@BShark There’s this about Storr. In the 2nd half UW was making a run on James Madison, cutting it to three. Made a stop and then missed what would have been a big 3 tying it up. JMU races downcourt past a jogging and indifferent Storr and made a wide open 3. Game, season over. He’s not Jayhawk material.

I don’t like him at all, but the staff seems to be recruiting him.
-
Here is ANOTHER lol - -Top 50 recruit Somo Cyril asking for release of LOI and is re-opening recruitment from Kentucky, This makes Seven
-
Whats our interest level in Ballo? Gives me some Dok flashback vibes watching his game.
-
@RockkChalkk Not on the same planet as Udoka’s senior year defensively. Maybe a target if Hunter leaves.
-
@BShark what is the latest on Hunter? I keep hearing Furphy is gone no matter the pick
-

Still think Hunter will be back
-
RYLAN GRIFFEN WATCH TIME.
BRING HIM HOME BILL
There is legs to this one already
-
Heard off locked on Jay Hawks podcast about the possibility Colby Rogers from WSU , I guess there has been some talk of possibility- -should we have any interest ?
Got decent stats , might be good for depth.- - 16.4 ppg --shot the ball pretty decently . --41 % fg shooter ----- BUT 41.9 from the three- -something we didn’t have one of our problems last year - -again he shot 41 % from the three. That percentage was on pretty good volume too a he averaged right at 7 attempts pre game -w hardly shot that many as a team last year - -he averaged seven per game. – - he was an 83 % free throw shooter --BUT here is something too he was a or made 47 % of his threes on spot up three’s
Plus for his career he is a 39.2 % three point shooter hitting 39.2 % on 672 attempts. Might be good for a depth piece.
-
@jayballer67 there was some early interest but (assuming we get Griffen) there won’t be a spot left

Ahh Rylan Griffin ? - - read from the banquet last night Coach Self was saying they were looking for 3-4 players hopefully from the portal
