You made it count when you got minutes. Good on you kiddo.

Our only RSCI top 100 players truly in the rotation are Dave and JWill.

Couple KS 3 stars (Och/CB), a PG going to Missouri State, a super walk-on and Remy is obviously good but was a fringe 4 star (depending on the site).

Player development is so good, and people (myself included) tend to underrate returning players.

Didn’t really want to talk about this beforehand but it went well. I should be okay.

We got a star here.

Says he told his team to back off, but he had starters in PRESSING AND HARD FOULING KU’s walk-ons with 2 minutes to go. I call bullshit, Squeaky.

BAH GAWD, THAT WAS A GREAT GAME FROM DAVID MCCORMACK.

He’s been serviceable all tournament. Tip of the cap. I’ve been hard on him all year.

@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:

We have to keep in mind having to basically pay Flory double what was perhaps expected has changed things. I still think it was the right decision but it’s making it harder for KU to pursue certain players we thought might be attainable

Bill just last weekend went to get more money, which he did get. They definitely want to get a reasonable back-up big and you are right that the Flory stuff changed the calculus a bit.

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

If we cannot afford a wing that is quite alarming, considering that we still need to fill about half of our scholarships

He means a really high end guy like Darrion Williams. Like 3M plus types, they won’t take that swing for a few reasons I feel.

@BigBad said in What tandem will be better than Flory / Peterson:

I’m interested in Flory becoming a serious shot-block threat. If he does the perimeter defense will improve massively. Its easy to pressure the ball when you have a shot blocker behind you.

Obviously there is a sample size caveat but as a freshman that is the one thing he was phenomenal at. 98th percentile block rate, 96th percentile in blocks per game despite his limited playing time etc

Needs to get his fouling under control and I wouldn’t hate if he passed it out a bit more but other than that, I like him quite a bit.

@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:

If they get Council this weekend then the focus should be on a 3/4 wing and a backup 5

Yep that has to be the plan. Just makes so much sense. I think they go back-up 5 next.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in The portal.:

We like TT! Wasn’t he the guy that got caught doing some extra curricular activities at mid court?

Naadir Tharpe did that for sure lmao

@rockchalkjayhawk Reminds me of Tyshawn Taylor

Council released a top 4

KU, Miss St, UGA, Gtech

@Jhawk69 I personally really like evanmiya and torvik for the analytics approach compared to the vibes of 247/on3 etc but all data points are at least interesting.

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

@TYOHawk What have you heard about him off the court?

Leader, competitive, fiery kid and excuse my language but he gives a damn.

After what I just watched for 30 plus games…sign me up for that. No more smiling after mistakes or players wilting as soon as things get tough.

Bonnie fans called him the marathon man because he never took himself out of the games man. ABSOLUTE DOG.

I love the Tyshawn comp for this kid. Slightly worse shooter, but turns it over less.
