@Crimsonorblue22 Yes we always thought he was a bit psycho. He’d try to intimidate coaches like Bobby Knight but he just looked comical when he did it and everyone laughed at him. I was messing a little bit when i said they got Fran fired. Those guys are decent players and wouldn’t mind seeing Freeman, a 4 star come to KU. The guard was decent too, his HS teammate, but not sure he was quite as highly touted.
-
KU Completed a zoom call with Cooper Schweiger (one of 5 to do so)
-
There are a few things I like about him and I think we ultimately just need to keep stacking these kind of athletes into each class going forward and see what sticks. Now he’s a bit old for a College Freshman so there’s a lot of skepticism he will become anything. We shall see

Saw where KU may have passed on him on twitter. Should be setting up visits and we shall see.
-
Josh Dix is a major target and the first one to really pay attention to it sounds. Creighton mentioned as other strong contender (UK, Illinois also involved). Also new Iowa Coach is expected to try and recruit him back.
-
Lots of movement in the Big 12 so far.
TCU- (Allette, Collins)
West Virginia (Powell, Tenner, Devries, Hansberry)
Baylor (Asemota, Love, Adegbola)
Iowa St (Jackson, Watson)
UCF (Sellers, Hendricks, Machowski, Williams)
Utah (Wahlin, Lovering, Little, Erickson)
Arizona St (Sanon)
-
@BeddieKU23 I would question that Twitter. I don’t think they would pass on someone like that, that quickly. He has or going to be heavily recruited quite sure’
-
@BeddieKU23 Think obviously be a very solid pick up, pretty solid numbers
-
Question , which of these to head out ?— Storr ?- - or Griffen ?-- or both ?- - I actually think there is a chance Griffen sticks around , and I would say I think Storr is right at 95 % chance Storr is gone. What you think ?
Another thing that is unsettling to me, probably nothing but the statement Flory made about wanting to check with his People and see what they think his next step should be.-- Jut something about that just make me feel uneasy-- just thought he was ONE of the automatics that would be back. Yet now in this dy and age-- - one neve knows , bever say never

Sanon to St John’s.
Back in the 90s there was a St John’s player on the cover of SI. The way his shirt was folded covered up the S. I wanted to know who played for Taco John’s?!?
-
Elliot Cadeau NC- -point guard has entered but already looks like he has his new destination as he put do not tag/contact on his message
-
Sounds like Creighton is out for Dix. KU vs return to Iowa, per the immaculate Trilly.
-
@BShark Fingers crossed

Well that’s promising

Adrian Wooley, freshman from Kennesaw St. Major want…

It’s been triple confirmed now, Bill is visiting him personally tonight.

He’s from Tuscaloosa Alabama, unfortunately.
-
Read where KU has made contact with Malik Reneau from Indiana according to ON 3 Malik is the fourth rated player in the Portal, Averaged 13.3 ppg 5.5 rpg n shot 55 %from the field and 6’9 .-- missed some time due to injury I dunno maybe.-- Sounds like he has missed quite a bit
-
@BShark Can he defend?
-
KU working to get Dix in for a visit this weekend
-
I hope ol’ Dollar Bill makes the Dick->Dick in son->Dix train a reality.
-

Expected to happen at this point. Great sign if it does obviously.
-
Rataj is another one to take seriously.
-
Plays thru contact. Nice!
-
@dylans - - Funny, I hadn’t seen your response to this video, and was sitting back in my chair and watching and I was thinking the exact same thing you posted.
Love how he plays through contact,- - Looks like he can be very aggressive and has no problem driving and attacking the rim. Finish’s well
Looks like he can handle the ball decent , and also looks decent at shooting the three ball. I think I could like him pretty quickly.
This is my down fall, I see Hi ;light video of a player like him and get myself worked up about the possibility of him landing here-- - - and then he doesn’t lol. Wait and see I guess, Another thing to like is , seems pretty fluid , Mobile
-
@SlimShaddy54 i see a large guard who isnt a high flier, and doesnt have a fast first step. He can handle and doesnt shy away from contact. Not sure if he can finish through contact against athletes. Dont know about his shot. As long as he puts in the work consistently he can fit. Whether he can shoot well or not would determine how much PT

Should remind you of someone who was here 4 years and ended up an all American.
-
Rataj isn’t a star and I would expect most of his numbers to look more like they did his sophomore season against P12 teams, but he can play the 4 and has enough 3 point shooting ability that opponents shouldn’t be able to ignore him out there. On paper, he appears to be a good fit so I can get behind this one.
-
AK Okereke is another of interest
-
@approxinfinity you see a 6’9 Guard ?- -Dam that’s a big Guard, and what I saw he finishes trough contact many Imes lol
-
@BShark sure, Perry immediately came to mind but i would need to see how versatile and creative he is. Perry was very crafty despite being landlocked.
-
@Kcmatt7 me too
-
@SlimShaddy54 guys 6’9? Geez.
-
@SlimShaddy54 finishing through contact def isnt an issue. Its the athleticism shortage that is concerning.

Meant to mention him too, film was rather fun

Just absolutely bullies guys. Insanely efficient on offense.

For sure, I hope we inquire and see what’s up with him unless there’s already some destination for him
-
Okereke would pair well with Flory. A bulldozer and a lanky athlete
-
If my math is correct, West Virginia does not currently have a scholarship player remaining on its roster after its coach left for Indiana.
-
Silas Demary Jr in the Portal! Shall we??

Except he can dunk.
-
Oh my. Okereke would fit so well in a Bill Self offense too
-
Just for once I wish we would get the athletes you kick around in these threads early, instead of settling in, convincing ourselves of fit late. Please Bill. Lets go!
-
Whom would you fellows rather have, Okareke or Rataj?
-
-
@Jhawk69 That’s a tough one— --- ummm I guess one or the other maybe Rataj
-
Has anyone heard anything about any departures for sure yet ? – Kind of surprising not a peep yet
