Transfer Rumblings
-
We we are losing
- Jalen (feels DONE) WING
- Kevin (Pretty sure is gone) WING
- Cam BIG
- Zach BIG
- Joe GUARD
- Bobby GUARD
- MJ WING
- Gradey (most likely) WING
Unsure about Cuffe. (Guard)
And then are adding:
- Elmarko GUARD
- Chris Johnson WING/GUARD???
- Mark Adams WING
- Jamari McDowell WING/GUARD???
With the lost scholarship, that leaves room for 3 transfers for sure. 4 if Cuffe also goes.
Is that math right?
Subtracting 4 Wings, Adding 1-3,
Subtracting 2 bigs, adding 0,
Subtracting 2 guards, adding 1-3.

Cuffe still hasn’t announced anything right? Is he planning on staying?
patience padawan
-
@benshawks08 we will definitely add a big based on who we are meeting with
Than 2 wings and 1 combo guard per bshark

Yes 2 wings 1 cg 1 back to the basket skilled big

Bshark is never wrong he’s Tyler Self posing as bucketeer!
Appreciate the insight TS!
In all seriousness, mcd’s class had some crazy athletes but after seeing this year 22-23 year old men win the tourney I think a mix of 4 returnees, 4 frosh and 4 transfers is solid. I’d take the older senior who tests the nba and comes back for 1 year over the 18 year old mcd
-
@kuballin10 My concern is that is a lot of NEW on the floor for us next year. That’s the biggest reason I keep thinking KJ will play the 4 some if not a lot. It’s the only way to get 3 players with Bill Self experience on the floor at the same time.
Yes, Remy was new and made a huge impact, but none of that came until March. Kev and Gradey made big contributions as newbies this year but I think we can all agree Gradey is SPECIAL and Kevin was basically the best possible fit for a Bill Self transfer anyone could imagine. Will be interesting to see if any of the newbies have the constitution to be the type of player you have to be to get on the floor for a Self coached team. I think the 4 returnees will all play a major role. Hoping Elmarko is also SPECIAL. Not sure any transfer out there will FIT like Kevin did but hopefully they can grow into contributors by the end of the year. Could be a rough start to the season…
-
I get the concern about how many newbies we’ll have. Still returning the same amount of starters at least but a lot less filler in the reserve pile. The main difference this year will be bringing in 4 transfers but needing all of them to be difference makers and rotation pieces. I think we can safely shoe-in Elmarko for a major role like Gradey was able to carve out. The other 3 will probably be like Rice/Udeh/Zuby- hopefully one emerges as the season goes on.
While concerned, I’m more excited about what the roster will look like after this mania is over. He’s got all the playing time available he needs to reload the roster up

Yes on everyday that ends in Y

Moore would really be the perfect Self dude after playing for Jay.

You’re kidding.
-
@BShark I indeed am dead serious. Idk exactly how involved KU will or won’t be, but I do believe he’s transferring

I mean, we certainly should.
-
Moore get hurt last season? Medical redshirt?
-
@dylans he tore his Achilles in the Elite Eight right before we played Nova
-
The top of my board if he goes in tbh. I’d better email Bill.*
*Please note I do not have his email lmaooo
-
@FarmerJayhawk I see so the games he played were late. Also a baller if I remember correctly. Glad to see quality players will be in the portal.

Bill.self@ku.edu (probably)
-
@benshawks08 I’m guessing he has a private one. :p
-
The portal is absolute madness.
-
@Jethro Bossi mentioned that even during the season MJ’s dad was talking with Boynton. Apparently MJ hated it at KU from the start. Never unpacked basically.
-
@BShark he gonna end up at osu?
-
@BShark I love it like nfl off-season
I’m in favor of kids having 1 free transfer not sure on 2-3. When a coach switches jobs they stick it out a few years but have that immediate switch and coach ability.
Glad players do now as well
Nova kid actually gonna enter the portal? He’d be a stud. Almost wish we leave 2 spots open for these nba test guys in case they come back well after like Remy
-
@kuballin10 I think we’ll have spots open late. That’s the rumor on Moore. Wants a bigger NIL deal for his last year in college.
-
@FarmerJayhawk come on down your the next contestant on win Bill his third title!

Nova NIL sucks lol.
GOATCULLAR year two rumors are heaaating up. I heard whispers of this awhile back and just assumed bs…but now…idk I think it’s BS.

Whaaaaa? - -are we talking about the remote possibility of THE Cullar back?

ya NEVER bought in - -you could see just a mistake- - but it’s taken care of now - -. ain’t mad at the kid , it is what it is. I still believe he can become a quality player in the right setting
-
@jayballer67 It’s very unlikely imo and not coming from anyone real.

I guess I’m kinda on the fence even if it did have some substance. - - - I mean - -GREAT DEFENDER. - pretty decent rebounder , BUT really out side game kind of inconsistent - -3 pt % - not good. - Guess wondering if the positives would outweigh the negatives IF he was to return. -If he did come back I would 100 % have no problem. Yet if he Doesn’t - - - - - -
I mean just have to wonder I mean sure probably not going to find as good of defender and yet just wonder if we can’t possibly do a little better ppg wise - - 3 pt % wise little more consistent -a real bucket getter - I have pro’s and con’s both ways. No guarantees we find better - -it’s a crap shoot-- I dunno- -I just dunno - -kind of a dam if we do - - dam if we don’t. I like him a lot I really, really do - -but can we do better ?
-
Yeah hesitated to post the Kev rumor. No legs to it.
-
Will say it is odd that we haven’t targeted a single wing in the portal yet.
-
If we did happen to get Kevin back that would be awesome.
Portal: Ike, Bamba (assuming he doesn’t go nba) and say Moore from Nova? That would be nasty! With as much as Jay Wright likes Self curious if he’s nudging Moore a little…
Elmarko who will be a stud @Jethro - just making sure you see this I’m fully on the Elmarko train! He will be off the bench which is crazy our bench should be legit with Udeh, KJ, Elmarko ect.
@BShark @FarmerJayhawk - Any clue who we prefer in what order?
-

That works out great for OSU. He’ll be a huge star just like Bryce…Oh wait…

I’ll take it. Juan/El Marko/ McCullar/Spencer/ Transfer portal?/KJ?/Udeh?
Rumor floating around Bill doesn’t want to go to battle with a 6’6" center.
-
@Jethro Bryce did better there than here but just wasn’t a good fit with us.
MJ I’m sure will go for 20 against us in Stillwater
Also - where you hearing that on Bill? He loves him some KJ

I wouldn’t totally rule it out. I don’t see McCullar getting drafted and I also don’t think he’s a lock for two-way contract if he’s not drafted. If that’s the case, he’d make more money coming back to KU from NIL deals and any non two-way pro contract. McCullar has a lot more to gain coming back than going pro. If he comes back and doesn’t improve his draft stock much, then he’s right back where he’s been the past two years, but if he does improve his draft stock, he’s in a mich better position.
-
2024 draft is weaker than 2023 right? That’s the only reason I’ve held out hope Gradey comes back
-
Gotta be honest not really enthused with any of the guys we’re linked too.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Alpha Kevin. All the shots he can handle.

I could talk myself into Ingram and Murrell. I can’t even do that with the current guys we’re linked too.

I think Murrell is a STUD so I’m not surprised Beard retained him and Brakefield.

I get it, this is kind of the first and 2nd waves. I like Bamba personally, but his process will be longer than others due to the draft.
-
Might make a play for Kadin Shedrick per EBoss
-
So it’s looking like our initial rumors of possibilities might be fizzling out - -If We can get Ike I’ll be happy , got to get him in for a visit. - -get him & jones would be nice
-
@BShark VCU kid you posted in other thread would be incredible. Double digit points, 5.8 apg and a smooth lefty.
New list
Ace
Bamba (draft withdrawal)
Jones - we sold on him athletically? Anyone else?
Ike - Reynolds whichever big KU wants
