Chef Bill is cooking in the international kitchen.
Aussie guy?
Furphy?
that was my guess seeing that he’s the only international guy we offered but idk. He’s more of a wing than a guard
Jumps well, but wing span is suspect…

Question now is will KU go after and try to get Ledlum the transfer from Harvard on Campus for a visit? - Originally committed to Tenn , be has de-committed & has re-opened recruitment.
^'6 Averaged 18.8 and avg 8.5 rebound for Harvard his jr season. Like the article from fansided read could add some needed depth at the wing spot , might be worth checking into. Pretty big recruit this late in the portal- still hasn’t chosen a school. like article said pretty unusual this kind of player no school yet in the portal

Since he’s an Ivy League kid and they didn’t play in 2020-21, I’m hoping that would mean he still has 2 years of eligibility left. If that’s the case, I would absolutely make a run at him as I’ve been high on him since he entered the portal. If he only has 1 year, then I would pass because I don’t think it’d be a great fit for him because he’s a potential pro and KU wouldn’t be able to give him the minutes he’d need. With two years left though, he’d absolutely be able to showcase himself at KU in 2023-24.

ya, I would be in for going after him, although I dunno about how much eligibility he has, article didn’t mention anything on that I don’t believe. He certainly could help, I think it mentioned last year when KU played Harvard he came in and got a 18 point and 9 rebound performance - -tough kid
-
And he’s willing to walk on for a NIL deal so I’m down

No way! There’s that much NIL still money available ?

If he’s a one year guy, I don’t think he’d be interested in KU because there won’t be that many minutes available for him because he’s a good player, but not a better player than Kevin McCullar though. The biggest drawback to Ledlum is that he’s not a good shooter. Low 60’s for FT’s for his career and sub 30% 3 point shooter for his career. If wants more than 12-15 mpg next season, then I can’t see him coming to KU because of that.
-
I think KU may be doing it wrong. Kids like Hunter Dickinson with the huge NIL deals should be walk-ons saving the schollys for the little guy who needs the money. I think there are rules about official visits or some nonsense making a kid ineligible for a walk-on spot; would have to figure out how to skirt that rule.
-
There is never going to be a perfect system. The schools treat it like it is a pro sport. The NCAA allowed that to happen forever ago. The players finally recognized their power and the P5 schools did as well.
The genie is out of the bottle at this point.
-
Furphy might be a need now with the Adams leaving…
-
With Adams leaving, is the Harvard SF on the “want list”? He’s 6’6”……
-
I mentioned him earlier, I think he should now get a huge push from us

A need and priority target to begin with. No coincidences in recruiting. Marcus wasn’t going to be in the rotation this year. The push to add another player came after practices started.

I can’t imagine how bad things were if the team went to the coaches about Adams.

There should be about 20 mpg available now as a back up 3 and small ball 4.

@TYOHawk The team went to the coaches about Adams? Yikes! I had not heard that.

It’s in Vernon’s latest newsletter.
-
How reliable is Vernon? (and / or his sources)?
-
The team had a player’s only meeting but without Adams about what to do about him. Did not fit the team culture at all.
-
@BShark did he not want to hang with the guys? I heard he was really homesick.
-

A bit surprising that the players couldn’t bring him in line, no matter the issue. Coaching staff as well. What, it’s been a week since he’s been on campus?
I know were he comes from well. It’s not that hard scrabble. So, i wonder what cultural element he didn’t comply with. We have had guys from much worse cities, backgrounds.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk It was more that he stunk, overestimated his abilities and didn’t want to do the work to get better. In that sense he was not a fit with the rest of the team, all dogggs.
-
I was always pretty low on MAdams. Tape is mid.
Blessing in disguise he’s leaving now.

Better that he leave now instead of doing what MJ Rice did imo. Gives us room and the Aus kid would be a home run.

Is KU also going to go after Ledlum in addition to the Aussie kid?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 No but they do want another guard as well. One will supposedly get done soon, they want another body for the PR trip.

Think it is a mistake not trying to get Ledlum, I think they would stand a better shot at him then this other kid Aus

Get me Furphy.

Smh when you don’t even wanna do the work while getting paid….well Bye

I also wouldn’t rule out a grad transfer. Summer terms are wrapping up in the next week or so and some guys will graduate.

Oh Boy Jahvon Quinerly lands at Memphis- - Good Luck

So a 6’9” grad student from St John’s is available. Quinn Slazinski is backing out of his commitment there after transferring in from Louisville. He averaged 11 pts, 6 rebounds and 2 assists at Louisville. With that height and experience, I’d think KU shows interest in a 1 year guy, given the number of open scholarships.

He didn’t play at Louisville last year. He started at Louisville for his first 2 years and then transferred to Iona for the last 2 years and followed Pitino to St. John’s. He is likely leaving there because he wasn’t good enough for St. John’s which means he wouldn’t see the floor at KU. He’s also missed significant time in 3 of his 4 years so I wouldn’t count him staying healthy wherever he ends up which won’t be Kansas because his talent isn’t good enough.

@Texas-Hawk-10 probably the fear his playing time will be taken by Zuby…

Zuby is the far better player.

Sounds like MJ has something going on.

Yup

What we see in games is just the tip of the iceberg.

Watch the big guy flying around for St Joes. Glides well on defense for his size, swats shots, dunks everything, hits some threes.

For January?
