@BeddieKU23 I seen today where it sure looks like a KU/Oregon battle they said in the article.- -Your right we need to close him out before he leaves campus.
Read where we had put an offer out that he was agreeable to, now letting him see the Campus, get a feel of things meet team mattes and such hopeful we can get this done. Time for Bill and the staff to do some magic

John Buggs is a name to monitor.
Assuming that is the 13th guy spot? Does nothing good besides shoot the 3. Having a hard time finding just how many schools he’s been to, transferred 3 times since 23, think its 5 schools including Juco, wow. 68-99 made shots were from 3. Literally doesn’t do a single other thing at average level. Crazy.
Yeah JCL type player. In his own words he said he doesn’t care what role/minutes he gets. Wants to be on a winning team and get paid (even end of bench KU money is better than the places he has been).
Still working to see how legit this is from KU’s side.
-
Rumors going around we landed Sarr, can anyone confirm?
-
Waiting to hear on that as well
-
Man this is a big time add if it gets done. I’m impressed and this is a total ceiling lift to the team
-
Just watched a pod cast that saying Crystal Ball starting to roll in, don’t ask me where I haven’t seen but being said-- -several outlets predicting so sounding really good. They said since the final ranking came in Sarr is like a five star , probable one and done
They were saying they can’t see why he wouldn’t.- --Fit is good - -role is good-- - - money is good what more would you want /
Question was asked where would you rank the Combo of Peterson & Sarr? -they ended up behind Houston and another in 3rd position- --what you think?
Then what about this-- think about this where would you put- – Peterson-- - Sarr – - & Bidunga ?- - mmmm man makes the mouth water a tiny bit lol-- -think about those three for starters. -Then you put key role players to fill in White- - - Dawson. Then you just got the need for back up big , and I think if Tille is healthy he would suffice for sure was ranked a five star and # 21 in the Nation according to 147 he doesn’t need to be some super stuf , but when you combine the two of Bidunga AND Tille we would be fine
-
@BeddieKU23 would surprise me if it doesn’t happen from what I’ve heard today
-
Sarr would really help round out the roster. Would like a shooter as well to help keep teams from packing the paint.
-
Wish it was Mayo coming back. Unfinished business.
Still waiting re: eligibility rules?
-
Sarr was a +40% 3 pt shooter this yr so promise there
-
@BeddieKU23 Miss the days when Dick was hanging out on the wing making the net wet. Splash (mostly for the jokes if I’m being honest.)
-
Saw an article online today saying “Dame Sarr is turning into AJ Storr”. If we land him I sure hope that isn’t true. If someone else lands him, then fine.

It was from Sportskeeda which is a trash site and they were quoting a commenter, not even the writer’s own thoughts. They are bottom of the barrel for clickbait trash coverage of sports.
-
@Jhawk69 No worries, that article doesn’t really come to that conclusion.
-
Supposedly an Oregon insider put in a crystal ball pick for Kansas
-
Dame Sarr highlights:
-
Wouldn’t count on Sarr. Moving on

Frown face emoji…
Who else are we targeting?
-
@BeddieKU23 Man I give up , this whole Season and now portal has been one big shit show- -beyond frustrating- I can’t figure out why this staff can’t close, We are going to be in some serious trouble if this trend continues - -Sounds like he is headed to Duke , like they really need him my ass.
We left with minor league scraps.
-
@SlimShaddy54 If there’s still more changes to the staff as reported, that’s going to be a factor.
-
Man. Tough one.
-
Swain says KU likes its chances still. There’s a ways to go yet.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 - positive or negative factor?
-
For 1 year….Williams >>> Sarr
I’ll take either but prefer the Summer Bill massive pickup
-
@kuballin10 Williams to the NBA D-league. Sarr to Duke.
-
@Gorilla72 Uncertainty on a coaching staff is never a positive when trying to secure future players. Players want to know who they are playing for. If Self is going to make other coaching staff changes, those need to be made ASAP so other recruits know who will be here to coach and develop them.
-
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?

If Samis sees the floor just cancel the season. I think KU is in a really good spot with Darrion still…
-
They just have to get one of Darrion or Sarr. Hopefully he looks awful in the combine this week
-
@TYOHawk There’s going to be plenty of talent withdrawing from the draft over the next month or so. Right now is a slow period because of waiting for players to withdraw after not receiving Combine invites and another wave after the Combine when players don’t get the feedback they want. That’s the time period Self landed Remy Martin and Kevin McCullar
-
@Jhawk69 Hell if Williams went D league he might as ewll come to KU and probably make more in NIL money then on a D league contract.- - In D league chances are make less money- – -play fewer minutes , you have NO idea how long your going to Woller in D league— Hell you may NEVER make it to an NBA roster.
If that’s his option better coming to KU work on his game ==get more floor minutes to do just that, develop more of a game fine tune things and might even be drafted higher in the draft then if he enters now.
If it comes down to D league or back to College for another year-- -it’s a no brainer
-
Got a question , have we secured any kind of a commit from any back up five man for Flory yet ?- - I mean I know everybody worried about getting a wing like Sarr which I understand but I mean STILL last I knew we couldn’t even get a verbal commit from a walk on back up Big to commit to us from Okie St – -THAT’S NOT GOOD I realize maybe they didn’t push or try that hard but bottom line is we better be getting some help there also I mean to complete this roster.- -We need solid Wings- -BUT don’t think we are really givin enough importance of getting a quality back up five eother

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

@SlimShaddy54 Quite frankly, this season it should be Bryson Tiller. Tiller has less shooting range than KJ so his best fit should be as a back up 5 this season. He’s got a 7-3 wingspan which makes up for him being 6-9 in the paint.
If Self plays Flory and Tiller together, it’s going to be many of the same issues on offense with KJ at the, but probably worse because Tiller doesn’t have the handles KJ did on the perimeter.
-
Tiller and Calderon so little thought of that even with DP, KU’s recruiting class isn’t in 247’s top 25 classes. Nor is our portal class as of now…

Tiller reclassified into 2024 when he enrolled at KU early and isn’t part of KU’s 2025 class. It’s only Peterson and Calderon.
