Xavier Amos another to watch.
A big concern with Amos should be his health. Only played 7 games as a freshman and missed the last few games this season with back issues. That’s something that would make me look elsewhere because we don’t need a player with a known injury history depleting the depth for next season.
I’ll also say that I don’t believe that caliber of player we need have begun entering the portal yet.
-
Yes please worth a look

Fair. Tomorrow is going to be an insane day. Most teams out of the tournament now. Rumblings of lots of P5 starters that will enter.
-
Are we still in w/Mcneeley?
-
Going to be really interesting how they fill all the spots. Probably 3-4 additions coming from the portal and they can’t all be elite. Probably 2 starter level dudes and some depth
-
Watch out for KJ
-
@Crimsonorblue22 William needs to because nobody else on the staff has the balls to.
If remy hadn’t bailed him out he’d be in trouble.
As someone else said KU has all these top seeds or no worse than a 4 because we dominate the little 12 only to not do crap in the tourney.
Duke, unc and uconn the true blue bloods in terms of titles this century ……touch to swallow but true
-
@BShark Too bad Bill doesn’t think that. GCU is 10 times more athletic than us….their pg can actually beat his man off the dribble unlike d2
$9 million dollar man can’t see what some dudes working an 8-5 can see…pathetic
-
@kuballin10 because they have one more title? 3-2 isn’t some massive edge
-
@FarmerJayhawk about to go back to back…I wouldn’t be laughing if I were you…….
Somehow they play legit D and run excellent offense with portal guys being plug n play
Self’s 1980’s system is so bad you can’t plug n play…he’s Eddie Sutton jr with 1 legit title and 1 lucky one

Totally agree. The big man will have to be depth (ofc).

@kuballin10 I laugh because I can’t imagine following something that would make me so miserable.

Just can’t get caught with our pants down re: Hunter
-
We , need some dogs out of the portal this year, I’m not just talking athletic, but some studs , got that dog in them. Enough of the Timberlakes , no Yesfu’s — We need guys that can get their own shots - – create , someone that wants the ball in Crunch time- - That Alpha
We need a stud CG – - and a Strong legit front line player - -we need athletic vey athletic , speed. enough screwing around - -and a couple good quality depth off the Bench players- -time to buckle down
A question also --do you think it’s time to get some fresh blood in the Coaching staff ?- - just curious, maybe get someone that CAN find that dog.

No cause/effect there. When someone starts out miserable, they just have a desperate need to share.

What does everyone think of Noah Reynolds??

Midmajor, risky. You hearing anything?
-
@BShark I just heard the name mentioned not sure if that means we are checking him out. I’m not impressed with him personally.
-
Forgive the potentially ignorant questions. Is it possible for Self to think a player isn’t worth the NIL money anymore? Is it possible to ever pull/reduce any offer for a player for next year?
Just asking so I can potentially hope to never see HDick in a KU uniform every again.
-
Until recently believe it’s illegal for coaches and the school to be involved in the $ but with the NCAA continuing to be shut down from getting involved in that business it may be something that a coach can have some influence on going forward.

Something I was saying in the Season , and through the Season. — Hunter Dickinson was just a bad fit for us. - Now seeing many others now saying what I’ve been saying.
Hunter Dickinson although a good player was a bad fit- - -and it showed, Hunter is a liability on defense, gets beat repeatedly, suer gets rebounds but a lot of those rebounds practically fell in his lap, NOT a good offensive rebounding guy at all - -Actually we had NOBODY that was good at being aggressive to go to the offensive glass.
Hunter was not a guy that demanded the ball, kinda like THAT’S MINE, a guy that would just go get the ball, a lot of his rebounds would either hit the floor and bounce his way or simply because of his what 7’1 frame.
We need a guy who loves to bound - -like a Dennis Rodman or a Daryl Dawkins somebody that i just gonna take it - -give it to me attitue . Hunter was - just Big & slow real defensive liability on the perimeter . -He is more then likely coming back , just hope his foot speed can improve - - doubtful but maybe
-
This guy looks fun https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/cade-tyson-1.html
-
Louisville losing their 7th player to the portal- Maybe we could look into this kid as a quality kid coming off the bench.
Mike James , 6’5 G - 4 * - top 100 kid. - -Averaged 12.6 , pretty decent shooter. - -maybe check into Skyy Clark also in the portal. - If I remember right pretty decent playr coming out of High School

Indiana has their talons in. Thinking there or back home to the carolinas.
-
12 3’s from 25 ft and deeper. Really good shooter, not a great athlete… Always the give and take
-
North Carolina is the favorite.
-
Looks like our old friend Marcus Adams is on the move yet again…
-
HD Garrison and Flory all on the roster at the same time would be interesting
-
@BShark is McNeeley still on our radar?
-
Boom. There’s Zeke Mayo. Wouldn’t shock me at all if he came home.

This has much much more traction than I would have thought based on old convos. IF KU swings hard, it’s over.
-
Not sure I would agree with KU going hard for him tbh. I wouldn’t want him to be a starter.
-
He’s a take for me. We’re going to need volume of guys too.
-
I am interested to see what kind of guys we can get considering most of the starting lineup is spoken for.

Same
-
@kjayhawks The same Perry Ellis that everyone hated until his Senior season?
-
He can shoot. 3/4 of our lineup may still not know how to. Had 19 against Iowa St in the tournament. Can’t imagine he’s not good enough. We just had a bench full of guys that couldn’t do jack.
-
Mayo’s teammate is also in the portal and KU is sorta involved.
-
Good, talented dude too. Position of need as well
-

Love his archetype man.
-
@TYOHawk same. I know it’s not a super popular opinion now in the age of hash tag #moderngame but bigs who can protect the rim and really rebound are still very, very useful.
-
@BShark I tend to agree I’d rather have Rogers from WSU personally. Now if he is willing to be more of a roll player, I’m fine with that.
-
Honestly if we get a bunch of mid major guys it doesn’t look good for us in recruiting. I feel like Kevin Young is the only mid major transfer that worked out here.
-
K-Yo was great, loved watching that guy play. Could run up and down the court like a gazelle and had some mad hops! He’s a great guy too, happily took a pic with me after one of the games. Always a smile on his face.
-
Zeke Mayo would be an ideal bench guy if he’d be willing to take that role at Kansas. A good shooter (37% or better from 3 every season), has good advanced metrics, and comes from a winning program. The biggest concerns with him are his defense and his high turnover rate.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 So he’s probably a step above d2 right now who can’t defend, beat his man off the dribble, score from deep and turns it over
Zeke can at least score and shoot from the outside no?

Don’t know why you keep hating on D2 when Cam Martin left after last season.

cause ballin probably held his private little raffle and drew his name out of the hat and rewarded himself by saying I’m get to rag on him ALL YEAR- -he has no reason – it’s ballin we have seen it all year from him - or maybe it’s a her who the hell knows

Tyler Kolek, Mark Sears, and Tristen Newton are all mid-major transfers - working out pretty well for their teams. Graham and Mason worked out pretty well for us.
Don’t know why we are swinging and missing more recently…
