@jayballer67 I think we backed off because we are hearing other guards coming into the portal like this new Battle guy we like more or thinking better guards are gonna portal
The staff is very concerned about double transfers actually being eligible or not. No need to play the waiver game with a guy that isn’t great anyway. It’s also possible that TCU is unable to take him due to academics. He will still visit TCU. The KU visit was canceled.
Oh ya, I had totally forgot - -he had already transferred once and dam I mentioned that same thing myself sometime back about needing to get a waiver? /right . - -we smart thinking probably on staffs part. - We just have someone who can score the dam ball.
That’s why I think Hunter is almost a must - -Timberlake would be great at the 2 - - If we got Hunter - -Ingram - and Timberalke would be a good haul

Battle is one hell of an athlete. Very intrigued
Battle brings back Josh Jackson and Och lobs!
He is a ridiculous athlete - go get him Bill
Juan
Dude stud guard @BShark has referenced
Battle
Ingram
Hunter
Bench Elmarko - udeh - kj - whichever guard shows in practice
Nasty
-
Personally, I don’t care if we get a 5/big guy. Udeh is going to explode next year, and KJ is a 3rd year Self guy to fit into other situations.
Give me 6-7 Ingram to replace Jwill and one more upper classman guard (who shoots 39% from three) and I’ll be happy.
-
If there are only 3 spots I’m conflicted about a guard or wing. I suppose it’s BPA. If you let me choose, I’ll take Battle, Ingram, Hunter and shut it down. The 4th spot makes so much difference if it’s available.
-
@DanR I want Udeh to work xtra hard this summer! Somebody to work hard with him!
-

Only concern with battle is that he’s already used his free transfer and idk how close he is to graduation
-
Yeah, the 2nd transfer thing is obv a concern, perhaps his situation is different then Spears who we have backed off on thankfully. Really need that 4th spot to open because he would be worth using that spot there

Yeah, I am still weary that we are able to add 4 guys. 3 real guys would be good enough for Bill to have a damn good team next year. Though in a perfect world you could add 2 wings and a true guard.
Bill seems set on a big.
As far as Raequan Battle, he’s been in college 4 years, so you’d think he would be a grad transfer.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Bring back Cole A
-
If you land Battle, Ingram and Dickinson in the portal, it’s a home run.
BUT if you can make room for a 4th and put Kev on that team it’s a walk-off grand slam.
Juan/Battle/Ingram/Kev/Dickinson
KJ/Udeh/Elmarko/MAdams off the bench.
Just give us the 1 seed in the Midwest now.
-
UNC people loooooooooove talking, so we will know exactly how that Ingram in-home goes for them today lol.

Would honestly like some more juice at the guard spot if we have 4 to give. But I’m not complaining either way.

Pretty sure if KU gets their choice of regions this year, we’ll be in the South region since the South regional is in Dallas and the Midwest regional is in Detroit.

So literal all the time lol. I think you understood my point.
-
@BShark I just think that team clamps anyone in the country.
Would be okay with a top tier guard over Kev theoretically.

Agree. Enormous defensive potential and the top 3 guys off the bench are all above average defensively lol. The main takeaway people had with Elmarko at McD’s stuff was his defense.
-
Been hearing more and more that Hunter going to be going home and player close to home - IF that’s the case w better stay in close touch now with Edwards. - Might just have to go Edwards/Udeh ? Zuby
-
@jayballer67 sounds good to me.
-
Maryland or KU. I’d put my dough on the good guys as of tonight
-
UNC fans are becoming aware. There is an angle for them with Ingram, but I don’t think it will be enough. Should know very shortly after the KU visit. Bill gonna knock it out of the park.

IF we can get through the weekend & actually get him to follow through on his visit THEN I think our chances improve A LOT. - just been hearing and readin A LOT that he is pretty well set on Maryland, not Maryland Boards but others and talking with some guys/friends I know that way. - could be wrong - love to be wrong but I dunno. just got to get him on Campus see Coach in person , let Coach do his thing
-
Interesting that the desired trio is dickinson Ingram Timberlake. All great players but definitely lacking a bit in athleticism. Id feel better about it if we could successfully run cuffe off and open up another spot
-
J. Edwards to WVU. Come on down Hunter!
-

Bizarre situation. If you read between the lines it seemed like the only of his top 3 that he could commit to. Gonzaga writers were adamant that they were not involved at all. And of course KU is still pursuing Hunter as the top option for that spot.

I just want them to close on Ingram in the coming 2 days. Then I’ll worry about the rest. I think he helps the team a lot. Gotta have him over UNC imo.
-
Saw Cuffe at the barnstorming deal. He doesn’t appear to be going anywhere. Content. I didn’t get the feeling that McCullar is giving much consideration to coming back. As of today DaJuan will play 2 more year - he said so himself.

I suspect the staff going all for Ingram is related to hearing back a final decision from Kevin. No info there though, just vibes.
-
Hunter Dickinson, big Dajuan fan apparently.
Should be time stamped around where that convo starts.
-
@BShark He starts talking about KU at 23:28. I didn’t see a time stamp, but I wanted to hear what he said. Hopefully, he appreciates what Juan and HCBS can offer him and decides that being close to home is not as important.
-
They start talking about KU at 23:28 mark. Sorry, I did not see a time stamp, so I went old school. I tried to put this under my original registration, but I guess I was caught up in the banning based upon being thought I was a spammer. Anyways, please don’t ban me again, lol! I am new to the forum will rarely post unless I have something helpful to add.

Dammit, man I sure hope we can get hunter, I was counting on Edwards as plan B - -this league just getting tougher and tougher
-
@BShark I couldn’t find it. Found it
-
-
@patoh81 that was me!
sorry! Not sure why it came to that account. It’s a new system. Don’t give up! 
️
-
@approxinfinity Yes, me too! I will stay with the patoh3 handle. Thanks!
-
@patoh3 yeah. Another false start by me. I think i needed to upvote one of your posts to get you permanently out of the queue. Try to post again would you?
-
Finally got the name of the portal guard. I think he could visit next week. Promised I wouldn’t give the name. But uh, buckle up and Vern should break it early next week.
-
@BShark is this if we miss on Timberlake or are we pulling his offer?
Is he in the portal yet?
-
@Woodrow Yes in the portal.
Think Timberlake is going to UConn
-
Friend of mine just relayed a tweet a guy put out , not sure who the guy is but this guy Henry Pleszkun - tweeted out :Per my sources : - -Hunter Dickinson is a Jayhawk. Bill get’s what he wants Pay him the bag , let’s go get another Natty -who his sources are - -I dunno lol

I was gonna guess El Ellis(wouldn’t have been happy with that) but there’s Arkansas smoke with him so guess he’s out lol
-
Just read off TOS - poster stated knows some NIL fundraisers and saying KU WILL NOT be out bid in the NIl for Hunter could approach 7 figures, also saying however this is legit three team race for Hunter. The play for playing close to home is a big pull not gonna be easy. we have last chance better hit it out of the park come Thursday
-
@approxinfinity Here goes nothing.
-
It’s not Spears, who claims he has set up another visit with Kansas (lol).
-
@BShark Thank god. Massive massive pass on spears, especially with the wide variety of guard talent in the portal.
-
@rcjhdraft I think Spears is recruiting Kansas, not the other way around.
-
@BShark lol this guy showing up on his own dime?
-
Read off Maryland Board, had an article where it said Hunter had broke his silence. - -Talking about he hadn’t really planned on his visits to GTown or Maryland this weekend , but knew he was coming home anyways so he said he might of get it over with instead of later - get them out of the way - talk about how G T was only 20 minutes away from home - and sounding like he said he would like to be home and play.
Talking about how he was keeping his recruitment low key and how people would try and take anything and run wit it. - -Was talking about how there had been a lot of bad tweets about thing he had said bad about Maryland in his past. They said if he Were to land at Maryland some fans would have to change their opinion of him because of things he had said. - -Hunter said looks like were going to have to delete those tweets huh.

Not sure lol

@BShark What happened with that Villanova guy?
