@kuballin10 too early to say. 4 more roster spots to fill. Another starter and a backup big are the main priorities right now. But as of 11:28 PM 4/16 it’s DP, Council, Dawson, White, Flory.

Stokes shoots it a little better than given credit for too. 30% on 2.6/game last year. The FT% is a little concerning but he took almost 10/game. Just silly

Very little chance Avery goes anywhere this offseason. His compensation is really competitive nationally.

There’s been some good reporting that it’ll be hard for Stokes to get eligible academically by fall. Might take all summer if that’s the road they decide.

Beard is notorious for allowing poor effort and bad defense /s

Grass is on the way back, I’m not sure more than a couple MLB teams use an artificial surface. I know it’s better for injury prevention to play on grass. It’s just expensive to maintain so especially at the college level artificial surfaces are more common.

Couldn’t ask for a better weekend for visitors. LFK is positively gorgeous today

Tyshawn “f it the guy in the third row is open” Taylor. I loved Tyshawn but man he had some wild plays

@approxinfinity I’m open to taking him for the right price and role. My guess is his expectations are much higher than a rotation piece

Bill has always done best when the team reflects him

The perfect wing. He and Tre at the 3/4 would straight up bully everyone

Remaining needs and who I think we get. Big: Dunter Hickinson Wing: JA Tsorr Guard: Harris DeJean

It’s been a trip knowing A) my folks are very proud of me going to graduate school for economics and teaching it at a good school and B )saying everything I know about macroeconomics and trade is wrong

@Crimsonorblue22 first I heard it was from a good friend who works at KU

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.

I respect the hell out of Sampson

GTHD

Dook studied our Houston tape lmao

COUGS

@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

What a bizarre turn of events if the rumors are true

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

@FarmerJayhawk DaJuan caliber defender?

Probably comparable. Their defensive stats are pretty similar

Florida is just so tough and well coached

@Jhawk69 he’s a notch below but plenty good enough

Shades of Kev. Nice get

Film looks good. 86 made 3s on the season. Deadly spot up, off the dribble, pull up. I like the addition

Diggy with defense is the kind of vibe I’m getting on him from based on Loyola-Chicago fans comments.

Okay, but a lower end 3* per 247. Multiple other 4 and 5* commits over the past two days.

That was his high school ranking. He doesn’t have a transfer rating since he went in the portal just a couple days ago

It’s an old video. You can see ushers in the background

Today’s absolutely bonkerstown tariff announcements won’t help. I’ve already seen GDP forecasts significantly downgraded for the year. It’ll be a bloodbath.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in KU Roster for 25-26:

Does anyone know what the actual expectations are for Jaden Nickens next season? Is he still going to be allowed to play with new scholarship rules and if so, would he actually be good enough to contribute, or would this be more of a Noah Shelby situation he’s more of a practice body than anything else?

I don’t think he’ll be part of the program since he has to take a scholarship.

@Crimsonorblue22 stranger things have happened but it would be a massive surprise

Heard Auburn’s number for Flory is around $3m

@BShark yeah he checked his NIL value and was like nah I’m good lol

I’d anticipate news of visits this week

#23 again this week. Fitz has us in a good spot

Heard a destination for Diggy could be Bama. Which is wild

Contracts are coming very soon (in some cases already signed in football). Revshare will change the game

And FYI, Golden’s buyout is $13m, Oats’s is $18m. Neither is prohibitive especially when we won’t have to pay them Self type money

After talking to a couple people, we’re speculating that if the hire is in like a month, Oats might be the better choice since he’s more proven. If it’s in a year and Golden rebuilds and repeats, then that’s the call. Oats is just the safer choice at this point. Plus the Oats and Leipold Culver’s ads would RULE

FWIW Florida’s Title IX office (hardly one to take the guys side in these things) cleared Golden

@approxinfinity I think it’s almost all Flory’s guardian. Dude seems shady as hell. It takes some serious stones to communicate all year things are good, we’re looking forward to coming back then do a total 180. And none of his stated reasons hold up to even minimal scrutiny. Like @Texas-Hawk-10 said, the whole business of getting African kids over here can be really gross and attract some really bad characters.

Heard they are meeting w/staff tmrw.

Flory camp? Or, just a staff meeting? Who is meeting with staff?

Flory’s rat bag of a guardian

Guessing he’s gonna try to extort Coach.

You would be correct. He’s trying to act like they’re just seeing what’s out there with rosters and whatnot but it’s all a cash grab.

Flory’s camp absolutely messed this up. What a clown car.

I’m manifesting Haggerty DP Dix Hall Flory

@Jhawk69 said in The portal.:

Are there rumblings of mutual interest between Keyshawn and Kansas?

For sure

Keyshawn Hall lets goooo

@BShark said in The portal.:

PJ Haggerty waiting room

The one I’m waiting for as well. He’s going to ask for a silly amount of cash

Now that that’s over, anyone want Wagner?

He puts up numbers I’ll give him that

Yeah, getting an Ivy degree and a master’s in 4 years all while playing basketball is super impressive. He’s going to be successful long after his playing days.
