Heard we’ve been in touch with Cleveland
Heard Auburn is getting him lol. Either way I don’t think he wants to leave the south.
Confirm through FSU mod also expecting Auburn.

Following the Hunter recruitment is an absolute rollercoaster.

@BShark Bragg, Cheick, Cliff, Billy, Hunter come on down! Youre the next contestant on The Price is Right!

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
@BShark yep they just offered a high school 3/4 tonight
Who btw? Did a quick search but obviously difficult.
Edit: NVM Brady Dunlap

Yeah given who he is it’s not surprising. Definitely not much of a fan of how this is playing out, it’s not like he wasn’t a highly recruited kid first time around so I’m perplexed why years down the road its a bit of the same rollercoaster. Guess some just really like the attention

Boy Howdy , you can sure say that again. --1st thought we had a good chance , then seeing maybe not slim chance , now seeing looks like get a visit - - - as the stomach turns lol. - -still doesn’t mean we get him by any means but - getting him to campus is half the battle Right ? lol- -well that and a nice NIL package - Can we provide a nice NIL package ?

Basically/Actually they came place the blame for a lot of this on how this whole portal has come about. - It’s turned into a circus/sideshow/freak show .It’s a matte in about 95 % of the cases of WHO can offer me the best deal. It’s less and less about the Coach or the School .It’s about NIL. This portal has made things a joke in some aspects. - It’s like to a point that if the kid wakes up some morning with a headache and the Coach looks at him wrong - -it’s like screw this I’M OUT. times I wish we could just go back to the old days of the basic recruiting & you transfer- -you sit a year - -I dunno gives me a fricken headache trying to keep up with all this lol
-
So I know Hunter is our # 1 guy we want for the 5 I understand , and I want him too BUT IF he doesn’t commit here would our fan base be acceptable / happy if by chance we landed Jessee Edwards from Syracuse ? - I think he could help out nicely.
Hunter big weekend. George Town & Maryland both visiting - -If we get through the weekend and he makes it to KU for his visit without committing to either of those Schools -especially Maryland I’ll feel much better as to where we stand and our chances

I’ve checked out of it for this reason alone.
-
@jayballer67 I think we end up with Edwards or another proven 5 that maybe isn’t in the portal
Hunter wants to go home it appears
-
@kuballin10 In some ways, Edwards is a better fit for Bill. Hunter’s talent is obviously undeniable though.
-
-
seems like Jesse Edwards is looking for an NIL bag and it’s a little more complicated since he’s international. Whichever team he commits to probably has to swing an international trip over the summer. Rather have Holmes
-
Nobody is accommodating that crap…

I prefer Holmes to him EASILY if he becomes available.

You don’t know TANG! They have another Dutch player on the roster already too soooo

Read the
with Harrison Ingram. UNC is in Brady Dunlap’s final 5 and is heavily pursuing Mgbako.

Holmes would be my favorite big by far if he hits the portal. Need him to leave and need him to not immediately commit to duke.

I think he would absolutely be a star playing for Bill Self.

Holmes is training with Mccullar right now in New Jersey…sadly probably means he’s weighing the draft heavily lol

Didn’t hurt believe it or not even though it’s been a couple of years, doesn’t hurt Maryland hired his High Schol Coach

starting to be more nd more smoke about that -him entering
-
@rcjhdraft - why do you think an international trip is necessary? Hawaii should be just fine!
-
Should really start scheming up an Ingram Dickinson frontline IMO

Juan
Elmarko?
???
Ingram
Hunter
Not bad curious what additional wing we can pull.
Cuffe not transferring huh?
-
Heard today Kev is looking for a number and if KU matches he’ll strongly consider coming back. If all else fails I wouldn’t hate just throwing Marcus Adams into the fire at the 3 and see what he can do. Think you’re a one and done? Go prove it.
-
Edwards down to WVU, KU and Zags

No this is yuck
-
Who is the last reclass to be actually good as a freshman?
-
@Kcmatt7 off the top of my head Jalen Duren was really good. This is Adams’s actual class so he’s not skipping a grade.
Tre Johnson would be skipping a grade, no bueno.

Feel really good about him if Hunter ends up at MD.

oh lordie- -now I start to sweat… - -I would take him for sure if Hunter goes else where

Interesting. from what I saw things were moving fast for Jessee. - -So would he be such a bad option B if Hunter goes else where? - -Personally - - I think not. - I feel Hunter will land at Maryland. , gonna be very interesting, does Hunter make his visit next week— OR does he commit while he is back home this weekend ? - I think if he comes next week , if we cn actually get him to Campus I think our chances are better BUT yet if Hunter goes elsewhere I really don’t think Jessee would be that bad of backup plan. . Really good board guy 10.3 and rim protector -almost three blocks a game

I think Jesse is a fine option. Definitely worse offensively but he looks like a better defender. Obviously a little hard to judge given he’s played zone his entire career. I also feel Hunter could drag it out and land somewhere local so I agree with you there
-
Okay so we’re feeling good about adding a starting big man and Ingram.
I’d really like to be able to add two guys… If they can’t figure out the Cuffe situation I could see them cutting someone else loose. You can’t take up that many scholarships at the 5 if you’ve got KJ as insurance, a wasted 12th scholarship and no 13th scholarship. Just guessing, but that is something to watch for if Edwards or Dickinson commit.
I think they’re on the hunt for a bench piece that can score. That is what the Primo/Horne/Timberlake buzz feels like to me. I’m good with any of those guys off the bench. Timberlake I’d probably not complain about starting.
And then just find a way to get Kev back. Its starting to make too much sense after you add a guy who can score in the post.
-
What do u see for Udeh’s and Zuby’s role?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Depends who they get at the 5.
If they get Dickinson, I think you’ll see Udeh get 10-15mpg. The good thing about adding Dickinson is that it would give Udeh someone to learn from on the block. Zuby emergency only (if he is even still on the roster…)
If they land Edwards, I think Udeh will push him for minutes. Could be a 20-20 split. Same role for Zuby as above.
The way this is shaping up, I wouldn’t be shocked to see Zuby portal. Not that I want him to. Or not that the coaches will want him to. But I would understand him not wanting to be the 3rd or 4th guy at the 5 depending on how the staff handles KJ.

Agree I don’t want to see Zuby portal either , brings lots of energy seems like a great kid too. but yet sure don’t want to see Udeh portal EITHER lol dam. I just kinda think that Hunter goes home and then we probably have a shot for landing Edwards. - If I had my choice ya I would want Hunter 1st - -just don’t think it’s going to end up that way though. -which brings into the play you brought out with Edwards and Udeh and Zuby then sticking it out

We’re getting a guard too. A really effing good one.

UNC fans are in full meltdown over Ingram, which is all but a done deal. You love to see it.

A lil birdie told me Dickinson would very strongly consider staying for two years at Kansas if the NIL package is right.

Well if what Gradey and Jalen made this past year is some kind of baseline he shouldn’t have to worry

@BShark Kev back?
Timberlake and primo aren’t really THAT good (solid but not great)
Or you think Ingram? He isn’t what I’d call dynamic…
Someone who hasn’t portaled?
