JUCO tournament and yeah his son is a coach.

With what I’ve heard about the $ from Iowa and KU, it would be somewhat surprising if Dix returned to Iowa.
-
Heard a destination for Diggy could be Bama. Which is wild

That would be insane frankly. He would get toasted in the SEC.
-

His game suits them better and I bet he’s utilized better
Chuck more three’s, play matador defense and let whatever big athletic 4&5 man stuff guys at the rim
Works when you have big time athletes protecting the paint so guards can be more aggressive

Would be hilarious. He would be food in that conference

Bama doesn’t play defense so he’d be fine in that system letting the 3’s fly.
-
Lot of old friend alerts…
-
The old friend I care about the most is Flory.
-
@TYOHawk — there sure are. you know I heard there are over 2,000 entered in . Goes to show what the Portal and NIL have done to the game.
Wish we would hear something about SOMEBODY showing at least some interest in KU -been stone quiet. I really do think that maybe even if there is any truth to it or not , I think maybe that Other Schools have heard the rumblings that Coach Self might be calling it quits THIS YEAR and they are taking that and running with it against us
-
Prediction: Diggy Coit - Maryland
-
I’ve been wondering how other programs have been affected by the portal. Anybody know of a website that tracks portal entries by school?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Hrll I think I heard Auburn was losing nine ?
-
There was some scuttlebutt that Diggy might land art Alabama, fast pace little defense- -fit Diggy just right
-
A quick glance at other schools and the portal…
I don’t feel so bad now. LOTS of other big time schools losing 2-8 guys to the portal.
Unlucky that KU is also losing some seniors to graduation at the same time.
Onward and upward! Let’s get some guys signed and driving Billy Preston’s old car ASAP!
-
@bskeet Yes, though if Zuby entered the portal that would change.
-
-
-
@approxinfinity would be ecstatic and I think we’d both do a little reversal on next year
Flory’s athleticism and ability to protect the rim is what we need at the 5
Pair that with DP and White’s length defensively and we are good
Assuming White plays the 3 and Self looks for another big in the portal so he can play his two bigs
-
What a bizarre turn of events if the rumors are true
-
Flory seemed like a great kid so I’m all for it
Crazy since he’s moved out of campus right? If he fails classes how on earth does that work?
-
-
@kuballin10 most KU players (especially freshmen) are in all online classes. Even if they’re in the portal guys finish out the semester or they jeopardize being eligible at their next stop
-
Tbh i still assume that we will be several years out from any chance of a title with the return of Flory. It means we avoided a nuclear meltdown this offseason and next year will be enjoyable to watch. Much needed continuity.
-
Flory was made in a lab to be the 5 for Darryn
-
What do we think of Tre White? More I’m digging the less I like it especially hearing he cost a decent penny….
-
Is there news about Flory coming back to KU ? man I hope, is Flory coming back maybe ?
-
Tre is a really nice role player. Guard, rebound, be a threat from deep. Exact role TBD by other additions. But he’s a really smart player who will embrace his role. He’s much much more McCullar than Storr.
-
@FarmerJayhawk where are you hearing these rumors about Flory? Coach sure hasn’t been recruiting a 5 guy.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 first I heard it was from a good friend who works at KU
-
@FarmerJayhawk how did coach work that? Didn’t think his guardian was very happy?
-
If Coach pulls this off…
-
On Auburn Rivals, they are expecting Flory to return to Kansas, is what I read by the admin for Kansas Rivals.
-
@patoh3 hmmmm, wonder what made him change his mind?

Most of this smoke is coming from Auburn people. Their Rivals writer said Flory back to KU and Tahaad leaving is likely. They were recently linked with another big man in the portal too…
Not saying it’s 100% by any means, but it’s at least interesting.

Anyone comparing him to Storr didn’t watch him play… Makes no sense as a comp. Braindead.

I think that number is fair. I hope we get him back

It likely is a pretty fair number. Again not saying it’s done, but KU seemed to back off other bigs again while Auburn started looking around some more on Thursday. Just connecting some dots it at least looks good better right now than it did a few days ago.
-
Yeah all the tea leaves are looking positive
-
I will say I know nothing here. He could very well still end up at Auburn.
The Dix recruitment was a common reminder that the initial chatter is almost always correct. His mom wanted him at Creighton and everything else was just about making sure Creighton paid up. Hopefully not the case with Flory/Auburn here.
-
Yeah it’s so fluid you never know which info is going to be correct. Everything is about pushing the price up basically. Would like to know one way or the other today.

It’s year to year at this point as far as building title contenders. Darryn Peterson may very well be the best player in college basketball next season and we just saw the best player carry a bunch of other freshmen and newcomers (only 2 returning rotation players) to a Final Four.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yeah that just hasnt been the type of coach Self has ever been. If that happens it will be the best coaching job Self has ever done.

And the way Self is going after players in the portal this offseason shows Self is learning and adapting because he isn’t just targeting the best players, he’s targeting fit. Jayden Dawson and Tre White’s strengths as offensive players match what Self wants to do as did Josh Dix who is the other name we know for sure Self aggressively pursued.
-
Sounds like we do have a good back-up plan at the 5 if Flory goes to Auburn. Not in the portal yet, so I will refrain from naming.
-
Need the Flory decision so we can all move on.
