Transfer Rumblings

@kuballin10 yeah it’s a horrible example exactly because it makes the opposite point you’re trying to make. That team was top 5 on offense, barely top 50 in defense. Seems like better defenders would’ve really helped our cause.
The teams that win it all do both at a very high level. Shoot, the 2020 team who allegedly didn’t have any offense was top 10 in offensive efficiency. Top 20 in both last year, top in the country in 08. Nobody here is saying just go get the best defensive players you can. That straw man died a long time ago from repeated blows to the dome. You’ve gotta have a team that can guard and make shots. UConn could do both.
Just quickly I looked at the offensive and defensive numbers for national champs over the last 10 years. Average on defense: 10.1, offense: 7.6. No defense below 21, but offense had higher variance. Have to do both.
Which, not bad for having the highest win% and the most titles of anyone going right now. I’m sure message board geniuses would beat him heads up 7/10 times.
-
Harrison Ingram was 88th percentile in spot up jumpers
Also he’s an incredible locker room guy and has a phenomenal work ethic. Checks a lot of boxes for me as a 4.
-
@FarmerJayhawk wdym when searching for players I simply sort on torvik starting at 36% from three (minimal acceptable level), 100 attempts and go from there. Self better be doing the same!
lol
-
I recall an interview when Bill was asked about what he values in a recruit.
He clearly said that he values Offense when recruiting and on D he said that he can teach them how to guard.
But you cant teach them to score.
-
Perry Ellis…did he ever learn how to defend outside 12 feet?
-
@AsadZ post that interview if you can find it would like to watch it
-
@FarmerJayhawk That’s true that team that got drilled by nova with svi, Graham, Malik and vick couldn’t guard like last year team
You do have to have both
-
I dunno he was 57 his last year here

Is he back in play now?

Hmm, seen plenty of highlights where he’s hitting shots but the form isn’t great and takes time. When reading about how UConn put together their roster they took Calcaterra because he was 95th percentile in spot up jumpers but you watch him shoot and you could see why, smooth, good form, confident. You don’t see the same correlation with Ingram shooting the ball.
-
Trying to get the name (imagine @FarmerJayhawk is as well) but word is we are trying to get an absolute stud guard to portal.
-
Any guesses?
-
Cryer says KU has reached out among a million others.
-
Latest on Hunter. Bill is doing this one personally. KU Nova Maryland the top group
-
@FarmerJayhawk Farmer bringing the heat!!!
Come on @BShark leverage those connections and confirm that stud guard!!!
-
@BeddieKU23 Dude can shoot it very solid alongside Juan
Can he defend though - Baylor’s d was atrocious!
@FarmerJayhawk thoughts on his D? @BShark
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m team no Ingram for sure……not great athlete, slow lateral movements like Gradey and his shot is broke
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

Maryland doesn’t think they are in it fwiw
-
I’m curious why we haven’t reached out to Ace……guard who is a lefty, can shoot it, score it and defensive player of the year in aac
Oh and averaged 4-5 apg
He and Juan would be nasty
Throw in cryer and Hunter and we may be small 1-3/4 but got a big down low
-
@BShark I’d read uk and gtown I thought
-

Farmer is right, only Maryland is likely out now. There is a growing belief about Hunter at KU.
-
Don’t make me faint today!
-
@BShark if we lose him to nova without Jwright…Bill might as well retire
We are the fit for Hunter. 7-1 big with post moves and can shoot the 3……
There’s a reason he’s taking the lead on this one
When’s Cuffe transferring we need 4 guys from the portal so we can go
Hunter Cg Cg Big wing
-
@approxinfinity I’ve looked it up more think you’d mentioned Hunter was a turd
Appears you are right. I hope we get him and he pulls a Kelce and matures. He has had his fair share of mis “steps” but I still want him
Best player available
-
@kuballin10 because he’s going to Penn State. To add some context, some guys who know where they’re going have a no contact flag in the database. So if you see a guy without firm contacts that’s probably the reason.
-

This. Don’t waste time on guys that are going to go elsewhere. Obviously you ask and find out fast.
-
@FarmerJayhawk why lol to not even make the tourney next year?
His bro like the coach or something lol
KU calls and he wouldn’t even listen because the basketball powerhouse nittany lions are his spot
-
@BShark I’ll drop Ace - won’t hear another word from me on him. First I’ve been told he’s going elsewhere by farmer been dropping his name a lot lately and you guys responded
If we don’t have a chance so be it but being Ku and king Bill right now the recruit should always pickup and listen I’d guess

Relationships matter. His coach at VCU moved to Penn State.
-
@BShark agh gotcha similar to the sec guard mentioned
-
Ingram buzz buzz

Slater ain’t backing down and Shaw made a pick for KU. Heatin’ up.
-
Dam is this what we REALLY want ? I dunno just seems like there has to be a better option. - - with him to me seems like we would be grabbing people just to be grabbing people. But what do I know ,I guess if Coach wants him - -gotta be a reason
-
I like Ingram a ton. He has a skillset you can work with. Good passer. Can post up. Shoots it well enough you have to guard him. Handles the ball very well for a guy his size. Not a world-class athlete, but not a slouch.
I’d be very happy with that one.
I do not want Spencer Jones personally. I would get it, but not a fan.

Here is one article where he talks about ability to shoot

This is also true of Spencer Jones, respectfully.

How do we feel about Chris Livingston

Talented but have hear there isn’t a lot going on upstairs which is a bad fit for Self. He should be entering soon. There was a ton of smoke before and it looks like the UK players are all starting to announce their decisions.

An athletic player…I might shed tears of joy. BLOB lob plays will be back.
-
Livingston and Ingram let’s get weird.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Yes absolutely no questions from me.
-
Good stuff my dudes. Be patient on it, since he’ll go through the draft process as well. I wonder with science and AI can we implant Harrison Ingram’s brain in Livingston?

The film on Primo is very Remy Martin. When he’s hot he’s hot. He’s going to shoot a lot. He’s going to shoot awful shots all the time.
So, a spark bench role for Primo would intrigue me. Do not want to see him here starting at all.
-
Does Tshiebwe have eligibility left? I thought he had a Covid year left.
-
@Kcmatt7 He does
-
@BShark Lol sounds like he won’t be on that Uk roster then…
Personally I’d take him tomorrow. Word on if he’ll go pro instead? (inserts better learn Chinese Buddy meme)

I would not want him, but I can understand liking him.

Oscar is a phenomenal college player, but he is what he is now. Give me Udeh instead. Higher ceiling.

Oscar couldn’t hold Udeh’s jock strap defensively if I’m being honest.
ETA: Obviously would love for Udeh to become even half the rebounder he is.
