@BShark said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
KU having a second call with McKissic in as many days this afternoon.
This one is with Self I believe. Could wrap soon. 15-20 minute guy off the bench I think

Mentioned in a twitter group chat yesterday that he would be a Moss type addition.
Fun fact: you add this kid and Xavier Johnson for TGF and Enaruna, KU projects as the #2 team in the country. Of course other teams will improve too, but yeah.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is this because they don’t feel good about Walker?
-
I think getting Mckissic would be in addition to another. Self knows he needs guards and he’s local that’s ideal circumstances. Get one to start, one to have a rotation role. We’ll see how it shakes out
-
@Woodrow I think independent of Walker. McKissic seems like a bench/role player off the ball
-
Agree with the two posts above me. McKissic is a complementary player and would be good to have as a secondary ball handler but not primary. Add him in addition to Walker or TyTy imo. Then suddenly the ball handling situation is in GREAT shape with two point guards (Harris being one) and McKissic.
Also McKissic has the added benefit of only having one year left. We don’t want to muddy things too much when we have Cuffe coming.
-
I guess to me it just seems weird to take a rotational guy before a starter. However, I guess in these transfer times you have to take what you can get when you can.

Yeah they need both so I don’t think order matters too much.
-
Walker will announce this weekend. Not sure when McKissic will pop but obviously Self and the staff have been in quick contact. I think these situations are not exclusive.
To me this does speak to someone in the starting 5 or rotation that won’t be returning. That’s just a guess right now or they feel McKissic is a good rotation 2 guard that would split minutes with Thompson (theoretically). So many possible moving parts.
-
@BeddieKU23 I think we can all assume Marcus is gone.

I still believe he will be very good for Kansas, he just had a tough FR year with injuries.
-
@BShark Yea he just has a lot of development left to go. And besides injuries the weird offseason killed guys. We saw what 5* players looked like at UK and Duke without a normal offseason to get them off to a good start.
-
Ya, Tyson Walker down to his final 6 he said KU - - Michigan State - -Vanderbilt - - Maryland - -( Turg hands off ) - - Texas - - & Mia /Fla. - - Only like the 6th freshmen for them in their history with over 100 assists/104 in the Season and 56 Steals. - - CAA Defensive player of the year , 1st Team all CAA his freshmen year & 18.8 per. - -watching differnet video’s that Matt Tait posted - -kid has got some deep range What’s our real chances ?
-
Would bet a large sum on McKissic being a Jayhawk.
Soon

No surprise there. He gonna be good by sr yr

Ole Miss according to Slater

Did you see Bossi’s recent posts on the phog? Looking like TyTy could happen next week.

Yep. Seems like Bill loves TyTy and it could be mutual. Like what Bossi has been saying on 247.

Worth noting McKissic’s cousin plays at SLU. Declared for the draft last year but he’s not a NBA player. Though could be a Marcus Garrett clone. 6’11 wingspan whew https://basketball.realgm.com/player/Jordan-Goodwin/Summary/88801

Is he gonna be in the portal? I’d take him in a second.

I don’t think he goes back to SLU. Pro or portal
-
Portal hitting 850 today and beyond. Notables from yesterday
As mentioned before Jaemyn Brakefield from Duke
Miller Kopp- Northwestern (2nd leading scorer)
Cameron Johnson- Stephen F Austin (15ppg 2nd leading scorer)
Marcus Tshonis- Washington (2nd leading scorer)
Washington St transfer Aljaz Kunc goes to Iowa St (6ppg)
Shavar Reynolds- Seton Hall (7ppg)
Jason Carter- Xavier
Oliver Maxence Prosper- Clemson
Race Thompson- Indiana (9 ppg)
Parker Stewart- Indiana (was sitting out)
Abdoul Karim Coulibaly- Pittsburgh (5th player to leave)
-
I saw Slater sent out a tweet mentioning their is going to be quite a few players leaving Michigan St and UNC. Which I found interesting. I’d guess the portal ends up at 1300 or more…
-
Interesting to note if not already mentioned, Mckissic won’t count against the scholarship count since he’s already a Sr. Added benefit here
-

Yeah this one is a no brainer. Won’t scare off TyTy or Pettiford either.

I’m not entirely sure about this. The guidance kind of makes it sound like the player doesn’t count only if returning to the same school. Compliance departments still aren’t quite sure.
-
If you believe the “KUInsider” account Self is slowplaying McKissic hoping to get Walker.
Someone I do believe is Bossi, who said KU wants a one FR guard and one older transfer guard.
-
Former Bryce Thompson teammate Trey Phipps leaving Oklahoma
Elijah Olaniyi of Miami. Averaged 10 and 5.
A really intriguing big just hit the portal, Qudus Wahab from Georgetown. The 6’10 behemoth averaged 12 and 8 and 1.6 blocks. He was a force in the paint for Ewing. Born in the same city as Udoka Azubuike

Have Udoka call this kid. He would THRIVE under Bill.
-
Watched him in the Big East tourney, he’s definitely Bill’s guy. I don’t expect we’ll shake that tree, Wahab is good enough to start anywhere
-
More…
Jimmy Nichols- Providence (kind of long athlete that kills KU)
Josh Carlton- UConn
-
@BeddieKU23 Plenty of PT to be had here though tbh. Dave is best used 20 mpg.
-
Doke to the curtesy phone re: Wahab
-
I agree. Thinking he doesn’t transfer where he’d be 2nd fiddle though. We’ll see what happens there
-
Isaiah Wong “weighing options”… Self get the batphone out…
-
Note Wong will submit paperwork for the draft, no idea if he will stay in school or transfer but most of the Miami team has ghosted Larranaga so it’s something to watch
-

Wahab’s advanced numbers aren’t great. Dave is a lot better in PER, block % is about the same. They’re about identical on ORtg and DRtg. Pretty similar on WS. Maybe he’d be better on a better team? Idk. He’s definitely A LOT better than Mitch, Curry, et al
-
Yeah I think Wahab is looking for a team that will make him a bit better, Georgetown was a jack the 3 team for the most part. He’s only a Soph so room to grow.
