Just read an article from Jay Bilas and he is saying this whole new NIL deal will end transfers’ , saying players won’t be going anywhere.
Bilas saying to start Colleges will be able to spend up to 20.5 Million on players with the amount rising each year as revenues increase. He then goes on to say with the new arrangements will come contracts. --with buy out clauses that probably will lock them down. Schools can now sign playes to contracts So when you sign a player to contracts with this 20.5 million amount annually that’s going to keep going up because of revenues keep going up in those arms lengths negotiations, you can also put buy outs in those contracts, and when you put in these players aren’t going to go anywhere.
Hello , like we have been saying SEE YA college sports- – there will be no more, it’s now become a farm system for the NBA- -this dam portal and this NIL has ruined College sports
-
Hey it’s only 72 days – - - -21 hours- — & 43 minutes for KU football- --EOCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@SlimShaddy54 that’s 20.5mil in total for all sports. There will be basketball and football schools again. It’ll be very difficult to maintain multiple top flight programs.
-
Looks like KU zeroing in on Turkey big - – - - -Kerem - - -Konin

Camron McDowell is on a visit. CRIME HAWKS ARE BACK.
-
Camron McDowell
Not to be confused with Cam McDowell
https://www.espn.com/mens-college-basketball/player/_/id/4896462/cam-mcdowell
-
Looks like a dawg with an edge. Prob room on this roster for his personality, def his skillset.
-
Struggling to find any info on the proper McDowell.
-
@approxinfinity Looks like a pretty solid kid. Maybe be a good role player possible offer ? – —How tall ?-- High School ?- -looks like a lwfty.
-
Searching his name plus D2 pulls up his stats for the last two years (or this link if you trust me https://riderangersride.com/sports/mens-basketball/roster/camron--mcdowell/7039).
Listed as 6-6" with 27.3 ppg with 39% from 3 on 7.5 attempts per game so the stats are good. Always a risk D2 players can’t handle the jump in competition though.
I could be missing something, but I think that ESPN link is him but he dropped down to D2 for the last two years.
-
Anybody on this site anymore ?-- did everyone dessert ?- -not a single post all day, What the
-
@SlimShaddy54 ha. I’m lurking.
Watching the Inter Miami game.
-
One to monitor. Sounds promising
-
@BeddieKU23 Mercy, he looks like a big boy. When I say big I mean bulk , solid , but not even beginning to hope we have had so many misses that’s sounded promising
-
I was right he is big— 6’10 & 250.—Think it said 14 ppg & 8 rpg.-- So who is the competition we have for him ?
-

Uhh yes please. Are you kidding me? We can possibly bring this guy in to spell Flory?
-
@Kcmatt7 I agree hoping we can get him to come in give Flory a spell Flory athletism then Ege for some bully ball.-- guy is SOLID 6’10 – -250
-
Looks agile for his size, and at least has a few shots away from the basket, out to the free throw line.
-
Sounds like another that they will have to pray is eligible. Would certainly be an ideal option if they can
McDowell also has eligibility issues to work through for those interested in the D2 kid
-
@BeddieKU23 Good God never seen such a brutal off Season

June is not an ideal month to be working through eligibility issues. What a strange offseason.
-
Demir tried to get admitted to UCLA back in 2022 and it didn’t happen.
Reason from Swain: He wasn’t admitted because he didn’t earn a qualifying score in English as a foreign language, per our UCLA website. Things have improved since then. Big picture, it sounds like he should have a better shot at getting eligible than Brice Dessert did.
McDowell is likely going to seek a medical waiver for his year at Jax St, he’s played 4 seasons but likely has a case for the 1 year so that’s why his situation isn’t settled either.

Karem Konan another international prospect is now following KU on socials.
-
@BeddieKU23 Ya I had since read that Demir like you mentioned had actually verbal to UCLA a few years back but didn’t meet UCLA’S standard . of English. Crazy score he needed to qualify for UCLA- -had to score a 100 for them, was referenced just silly, as even Harvard and Cal which are very High Schools their scores needed in English is 80.
KU score needed is 79 but if a individual takes a paper test in home the score drops to a 60 , so yes your right a lot better chance to qualify.
Interesting enough I had thought about this before they brought this up —Demir reminds them and me as a some what smaller version of Doke right at a 7’3 wing span , very aggressive rebounder, attacks the rim with vicious dunks. going to bring strong rebounding , good lob go getter, poor free thrower, needs to reduce turnovers

This feels like your normal recruitment signs here.
-
Perhaps, they seem to be further along with Demir though. If both are attainable, why not, if choosing 1, I’m going with Demir who’s a clear fit here.
-
For sure shades of Doke, I thought of that as well. Shoot’s FT’s as good as he did too.
-
@BeddieKU23 lol ya
-
He reminds me of Bill Russell when he’s 2-ft from the basket.
. But seriously… he would fulfill one of our needs. Love his athleticism. Solid for ball screens, rebounding, defense, maybe even top of the key defense.
-
I would have taken 2 years of Konan over 2 years of Dickinson in a heartbeat
-
Paul Mbyia has decommitted from NC State. 6-11, 240 lbs. with a 7-7 wingspan. Anyone know if KU is going to make a run after him.
He would be a back up option for Flory.
