Very happy to see us showing interest in Battle, no brainer if they need to expand the board.
So Dickinson visits tommorow
Ingram visits next week
Morris is currently visiting.
Tyson has interest/KU has interest. Could see a visit soon? Perhaps this weekend?
Battle reporting interest.
Spears visit next week (still TBD it sounds)
Hart is down to 4 & will announce Friday (KU included) but sounds like he’ll go elsewhere.
Timberlake to announce to UConn this week.
Ya so my preference - just me - a Coach with a career Couch Coaching potato head but my preference from this list please would be : Dickinson , - Tyson/Morris , Ingram - -yes that’s 4 - but if we can coax Kyle to go then we have 4 available. - - Let the games begin
Just 5 hours before this you were totally against Morris.
and yet if this is who the staff wanted who am I to challenge , so whats your point ? Just because this is not somebody I would take doesn’t mean thats how it’s playing out lmao
It doesnt matter. Thought you said it was your ‘preference’. Just thought it was funny how quickly it flipped. As Jaybate would say, no malice intended.

Bona declared while keeping his eligibility. I don’t see him going back to UCLA with how it ended there with him. Could be in play if Hunter is stupid.
-
Chris Johnson has removed a lot of KU stuff from his Instagram the day after Eric Bossi tells Kansas fans not to worry about the 4th scholarship opening up. Coincidence???!
-
@BShark He can shoot it right? I think you or Farmer said though he’s struggled as of late and didn’t think he’d get playing time
-
Hunter to visit Kentucky April 23-25th. Non ideal.

This is where Adidas needs to pony tf up.

26% from three this year, lol.

they’d take McDowell over him? I’d still take both over cuffe handcuffing the roster for the next two years not doing anything
-
@rcjhdraft Well, McDowell is the better basketball player so probably. I don’t have anything concrete on processing CJ but just don’t rule it out.
-
Not moved by either one of them tbh.
-
@TYOHawk I can get that, but of the two if you are going to process one you’d go with Chris I strongly feel.
Good update from Swain on Arterio just now.

Isn’t Oscar T open to returning if his NBA prospects aren’t what he wants? Wonder what he thinks about that?
-
Is CJ the guy that is on the backup point guard on a loaded hs team?
-

Yeah, it did not go well for him at all this year.
-
@BShark So is that an indictment of CJ or is there just unreal talent on the team? It’s not like KU will be less talented…
-
@dylans He’s bad. 35% from the floor, 26% from three.
-
@BShark
Not a good year. I feel bad for the guy. Had it all coming together as a jr only to have your sr gear go to 
-
@BShark At this point, another year of prep basketball would probably do wonders for him.
-
There is other stuff I heard that I shouldn’t repeat on this board. It would be pretty surprising if he ends up being a good D1 player but you never know.

you think Johnson might be thinking about de-commiting ?

Ya , I’m just not getting a good vibe about this with fricken Kentucky & Arkansas now

Morris is or was just on campus wasn’t he ?
-
If Johnson is out I’d be fine with Battle or Morris in that spot.
-
Spring Bill is here.
-
So, let’s say we DO MISS on Hunter, I guess it wouldn’t be the end of the world , I mean sure it would be a kick in the nads but maybe just have to ride the 5 spot by committee of Udeh - -KJ – & Zuby… - -We might be ok. Still hopefully land if we need to l WE got Timberlake – then add Ingram & Morris -I guess we go ahead take Morris & prey to GOD he has his head on straight and not become a cancer i the locker room with distractions- - yet with those three would be a solid incoming. What you think ?
-
@jayballer67 We would be more than fine with Udeh/KJ and Zuby at the 5 rotation imo. The key is getting Ingram at the 4 to me. He makes it all work because if not then you’re really putting a lot on Marcus Adams plate.
-
Had to laugh just a little. - -Kentucky fans off their boards - just happy as punch that Hunter visiting this weekend, but worried to death also. -
They are saying well - -what if Oscar decides he wanted to come back says not going pro - - -which right now they aren’t sure he hasn’t decided, he has a couple of workouts going on and i guess to Calpari go ahead and build your roster don’t worry about me as I’ve got things going on and can’t make a decision right now. So they say what if he ends up NOT going pro but yet his spot is filled by Hunter
How it would be such a bad look for Kentucky if Oscar didn’t go pro - - -came back and went to another College program , they are in a panic on how that would make Kentucky look. - - Hell le him come back to College -I would be more than happy for him to come here if that were to ever happen for a year - -it won’t but IF it did he is a walking double double -I’d take him lol

Agree - - -Agree. I also agree I think we would be fine. I think from wht little I know I feel pretty good about Ingram ending up landing here - -or I should say I hope so
-
@TYOHawk If Udeh or Zuby make that sophomore leap whiffing on Hunter won’t hurt as bad.
Missing out on 20/10 though would suck.
I think Elmarko starts but also Marcus Adam’s surprises some people. Kid is 6-8 and can shoot it. Bill will find him some minutes.
-
So Hunter visiting Villanova now too - -not trippin about them , just heard Eric Bossi on the radio- -Also Ingram in Chapel Hill tonight. - - -Seems Carolina fans think he is all theirs
-
Johnson is the one member of the class I don’t mind cutting loose if we need the spot. He’s really just pure potential at this point and without a real position. I like McDowell better to be honest.
-
If Ingram goes to UNC, I hope its because we are back in with Tyson. I just like the fit there.
-
We weren’t really after him, but Cormac Ryan is popping for UNC.
Still feel good about Ingram. UNC is going to make things interesting but at the end of the day why on this big planet of ours would you ever choose Hubert Davis over Bill
-
@RockkChalkk Tyson is a no go. Not a KU guy
-
Why?
-
I have a feeling he could be a KU guy…
-
@RockkChalkk the phrase to me was “not coachable”
-
Getting the impression that Morris’s interest in KU is more than vice versa…
-
Interesting. Struggling to find out exactly who KU has the high interest in other than HD.
-
@RockkChalkk Ingram
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

sO YOU THINK THERE IS PRETTY HIGH INTEREST FROM BOTH SIDES ?
-
@jayballer67 no lol. Morris wants KU way more than KU wants Morris.
Also, in piecing some stuff together today, KU slow played Ingram just a little. Remember Slater’s gif like 6 weeks ago? It was legit and spooked KU a little. UNC jumped in the void and is making a run at it. So if you hear “KU botched this” or something like it, that’s what happened. The Ingram family really favors KU still and the staff has to close the deal, but Case is the man. I think they get it done.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Can you explain the gif, please, including what caused any hesitancy? I, for one, do not have an encyclopedic memory indexing the library of what must be several thousand posts in a half-dozen (or more) threads we seem to be developing this recruiting season!
Thank you!
PS: I don’t have encyclopedic knowledge of my refrigerator, either, so it could just be old age.
-
@mayjay sure! Thanks for reminding me not everyone is chronically online. Andrew Slater, who’s as plugged into basketball as any human alive today, tweeted that KU would be in on Harrison Ingram. This was weeks before he hit the portal. So KU got spooked it would look like obvious tampering and backed off to make it look like they only recruited him after he entered. Idk if it was ever realistic for him to commit super early, but it did give UNC a window to jump in the race.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ah, I remember a concern mentioned not to look like tampering. Thanks!
I am pretty sure we have so much more info this year than years past. How you all sort it out is beyond my ken!
-
Been busy. I’ll just say trust Farmer.
Would maybe get into it with Tyson if they miss on Ingram. There would be a lot to work out though. He does NOT have the dog in him. Do not rule Ingram out though.

This one has been absolutely brutal to try and parse info on.
-
are we a legit contender for mgbako?
-
@rcjhdraft no.
