I’m just trying to figure out what they would want in another big. You’d figure if Hunter is back you need someone that isn’t the same, so you have a different look to give defensively at minimum.
Pharrel Payne is one to watch closely.
-
Just from a numbers perspective we’re losing two bigs, so it makes sense to add two.

Yup. Don’t want to be forced into playing Flory if he isn’t ready.
-
Agreed, we’ve been burned a lot on 5 star bigs that aren’t ready yet. Plus I am skeptical about any non Joel freshman big playing defense up to Bill’s expectations for a starter

I like him. Minnesota fans are not happy he’s leaving. I had mentioned when he hit that he was a player that saw substantial growth as the season went on. Would be on board with going after him
-
Happy Zeke Mayo second visit day. Bill bringing out the big guns, goal is to close today.
-
I hope so. Really hopeful we sign him

would be Huge I think if we could get Zeke
-
Saw from TOS - -That Devin Neal is hanging out with Zeke while he is on his visit. Have hear they are friends - -can’t hurt.
Hopefully we can get him to commit while he is on Campus — not even take his trip to Oklahoma, suppose to visit there on the 13th. - With the way players bailing ship there, Zeke for sure would have Huge minutes
However , however - -with that being said I guess Oklahoma’s NIL all in one pot & football is taking big chunk of that - and we know it’s all about money these days , so we might be ok there - -ROCK CHALK

Bill Self: THE CLOSER
-
Think Coach is pretty motivated after last season…

Multiple times he could be heard screaming from the bench during games “what am I supposed to do, I don’t have any ****ing guards”

GO GET HIM https://x.com/matmlodzinski/status/1775303767715365158?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
Post isn’t loading, who is referring to?
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Bronny in the portal and the tweet says he’s heard from Kansas*
*he has not heard from Kansas nor will he
-
@BShark I mean he recruited said guards and he would never recruit over 1 so he has literally done it to himself……does he even realize that?
-
-
@FarmerJayhawk He’s going to Michigan right? Assuming he’s tight with May because he gave him a d1 chance when IU/Purdue didn’t care
He won’t come here though if he can’t be the point right?
Should be: Davis, Zeke, Riley, stud portal 4 and Hunt
Instead we all know that won’t be the lineup…

How are we feeling on Johnny and Liam?
-
@kuballin10 maybe, and no.

I think Johnny comes back (but that’s just me) and seems like Liam is going to wait out the draft. If Furphy does stay in I think he’s a Jayhawk

Danke liebling

So just heard on a podcast, with Zeke committing, right a of this moment Ku is technically full on roster, HOWEVER things an change and probably will think we have at least 2 more spots - -maybe three. -you figure Jamari could very easily transfer now, - -Zach is probably gone – Dickinson is probably 50/50 at best, not sur what he is waiting on about announcing cause sorry he is just not making an NBA team- - old School positional big in the NBA maybe 10 years ago he would-be fine-- today no.
Then you have Johnny , projected late 1st round draft. Latest I saw was Kevvin was 22nd & Furphy was23rd pick. I think we en up with 3 more yet, more likely then not Jamari, - -then next last I heard it was like 60/40 Furphy was declaring/entring-- So two I think is pretty solid-- the Hunter—who know 50/50 maybe
Then even though he said he is coming back, does Jackson change his mind ? -Now you have Juan obviously—Zeke could always back Juan for periods and you have Philon- - -pg is going to be full with those three–does he go. - -I think w end up with uet three more. - -So then we push still for Cliff—then hopefully Mcneely decides to come , 7 then maybe another portal wing for depth- -gonna be interesting
-
@FarmerJayhawk He’s gonna be a pg in the nba there is zero reason he goes somewhere and plays off the ball right?
-
@kuballin10 I doubt it. He’s a career less than 1 AST:TO guy. I don’t think he’s a NBA guy but he can make good money overseas as a shooter/instant offense
-
And just for reference, another really good college 2 that couldn’t play point. Junior year (off ball) was 2:1. Senior (on ball) was 1:1. It’s a very, very hard transition to on the ball and I frankly don’t think he can do it.
-
And last point on it, LJ Cryer is getting shopped as a PG and nobody is biting. Because he’s just not that. Nothing wrong with being a very good scoring guard and having a Keith Langford pro career.
-
From TOS - which lines up with how I saw it. The love for d2 will scare them away……
“FWIW on the FAU guys, they both want to go somewhere to play PG. Don’t know which, if either, will follow May. At least that is what their agent has told people last 24 hours.”
-
@kuballin10 Ryan and I are buds and we swap notes almost daily. The market won’t be all that good for Davis as a PG, at least among good teams.
-
Davis will end up at Michigan.
-
IIRC, many of the stay/go announcements come after Self meets with players. Seems like announcements come around the time of the annual banquet. Is there a date set for that event?

It’s been before the banquet lately. Typically, we see 1 or 2 announcements per day and I think KJ got us started yesterday.
Last year’s offseason for reference

@BShark Who in the world are Cross and Carter?
-
-
Hearing Storr was at KU Monday for a visit and we may actually be landing him……???
-
Illinois until I hear different. Not a big fan of him tbh. Selfish on offense and a turnstile on D
-
for Storr? or someone else
-
@BeddieKU23 Storr yeah. I’m 99% sure the reported NIL numbers are wrong too. That’s in the neighborhood of Kev’s deal and Bill doesn’t value Storr that highly
-
Oh yeah I laughed when I saw that number but given all the uncertainty regarding what actual money they are asking for/getting you can never be sure to laugh it off or believe it’s real. Bill is right, he isn’t worth that to KU. Perhaps he can get it from someone else
-
Sounds like the money ran out at Auburn. Real shame.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I got a pretty sweet NIL deal. I get to work my ass off, carry most of the company, get paid slave wages and oh yeah - take care of my own insurance.
-

Not for football. They claiming they got gold on that side
-
@nuleafjhawk sounds like you should fire your agent

Haha yeah I meant hoops. Most of their team will be in the portal. KU rumored to be involved with Broome.
-
@FarmerJayhawk No joke…

There’s changes with the Secure 2.0 Act coming this year and future years. Your company may have to up their benefits package.
-
@nuleafjhawk - What a deal! Do you do your own laundry too?

Whoa. Obviously can’t see that name being serious if a certain 7’2 guy still on the roster
-
@BeddieKU23 for sure

Recruit like he’s gone until he isn’t
