Might as well get this one going.

Zeb Jackson, 6'5 4 star PG leaving Michigan after half a season. Talk on him is he will have a lot of interest.

@BeddieKU23 has he been injured? Because the stats are yikes.

@BShark

Sounds like change of scenery needed.

Jackson averaged 5.2 minutes over 16 games as a freshman last season and appeared in just four games this season. He missed the start of the season due to an undisclosed health issue and has not appeared on the bench during games since Michigan’s trip to Rutgers on Jan. 4.

He’s just working through some things,” Martelli said on Jan. 17. “He’s getting all the support from the coaching staff, from the personnel on campus, and making sure he’s in a good place mentally to rejoin the team if that’s what’s best for him.”

Portal approaching 250 already.

Last 5 years transfer numbers according to Verbal Commits. 2021 saw nearly 70% increase with the free transfer year. 13 transfers ended up on all-conference first teams in Power 5.

2017- 904

2018- 883

2019- 987

2020- 1013

2021- 1729

I'm guessing the portal is close to last year. I would guess that there may also be players transferring out of P5 into midmajors for more minutes and a better fit. I know a lot of people don't like the portal, but I think it gives student athletes the best opportunity to find a good fit, and more than that, have control of their own destiny, for good or bad. There will certainly be people that transfer that probably should stay put. There will be others that transfer and find an improved situation for themselves personally and basketballwise.

I wouldn't be surprised if 21 was the peak given the free year + covid year. Perhaps we see the 1200 to 1500 range on average since after the first time they transfer they don't have the luxury of moving again without sitting until they have graduated.. At some point the pool shrinks

Have to imagine you see Nigel Pack's name in soon.

Has a player ever been a better fit for any team ever than he would be for Alabama? Hope to see him leave the conference.

Do they have to sit a yr now?

After the first weekend of the tournament, I expect things to pick up in the portal. Most programs will be done after this weekend, so that means exit meetings at most schools will happen next week, then the portal will heat up.

Last year might be unique because of the bubble situation but I'd keep a close eye on guys that play in the same location as KU who announce a transfer.

Portal likely to hit 400 today.

Cottrell was their only RSCI 100 player. He was putrid on offense though.

Wonder if Huggy is on the ol HOT SEAT ?

Ben Howland out at Miss St.

Reason for interest. Their leading scorer Iverson Molinar 6'3 guard avg 17.5ppg on 45% fg & 86 FT% could look for a new home. 3 point shooting fell off a cliff this season to 25% after shooting 44% as a Soph. Concerned there but he fits a lot of boxes of what Self might be after in the Portal..

@Kcmatt7

I wonder if he is but the way this season ended for him being ejected, I can't imagine he wants to hang it up on that note. However I have no idea how he's going to field a better team next year. Those 2 that transferred were his highest rated recruits besides Tshiebwe in several years. I can't imagine Sherman & McNeil have eligibility left. Same situation for Paulicap, Carrigan, Osabuohien who are seniors as well. What a mess. He's got 4, 3 star type prospects signed. Cupboard is bare

Disregard. Stats are good but he is a head case.

Biggest name on the market so far- Fardaws Aimaq, Utah Valley WAC player of the year, 6'11 245 mountain averaged 18ppg 13 rebounds per game. Going to have one of the longest lists out there..

@BeddieKU23 Can he block shots?

@benshawks08 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

@BeddieKU23 Can he block shots?

1.3 per game. 99 career blocks in 3 seasons. Has 2 seasons to play but will explore professional options first before entertaining colleges. Is definitely looking to go somewhere to win. Made 20 3's on the year as well. Given his size I think some of his stats are inflated due to competition. Did have 24 and 22 against BYU in their win & 15 & 15 against Washington. Hasn't played against a lot of top competition from the looks of it.

@BShark I didn't. But damn. Makes more sense after this season.

I'm very confused how Oregon State committed so much money and so many years to a guy who's best record at OSU was last year's 20-13, and who never had a season with fewer than 13 losses at Oregon State. He had two great years at Montana, but otherwise has been a so-so coach in his entire career. Not sure why you commit that much to a guy with a very meh track record.

One I'm watching to see where he ends up. Grant Basile of Wright State. The 6'9 Jr C averaged close to 19ppg and 8 boards. From Wisconsin so perhaps going to @wissox join the badgers. He was good in both tournament games

A very intriguing transfer from Belmont.

Freshman guard Will Richard 6'5 averaged 12 & 6 on near 47% shooting. Had two 20 point games, scored double figures in 23/33 games, 47 made 3's, 80% from the line. Definitely that big guard with upside. This one will have lots of suitors.

Looked into him.

We could do a lot worse for that big guard spot.

@BShark

Proven production at a good Mid-Major as a freshman.
Watched some highlights. Not Och level athlete from what I saw but range on his 3 point shot and appears to have a midrange. Almost looked like he was playing the 4 spot at Belmont which at 6'5 seems weird but they looked like a small team. From Georgia, was the 29th ranked player in Georgia (#328 composite). In any case I think he ends up at Power 5

@jayballer67

Gotta fill the Ochai spot at minimum. It all depends on what spots are available.

I'm of the understanding Martin who redshirted will move on. I'm also working with the belief we could see Braun, Wilson & Dave back. Add Harris and that's 4 starters. If all the other guards return (Yesufu, Pettiford, Cuffe) he's got 4 smalls but no big guard.

I'm under the assumption Gradey is a wing as is Rice. MJ could also be a small ball 4 here as well with his build and game. He's physical and likes to score around the basket with his athleticism.

If Dave & Wilson return then the incoming freshman are playing behind Zach & KJ. Seems like too many bodies so something to watch there unfortunately. If neither returns then its a youth movement where Self may grab an experienced big to throw in the mix.

As always the offseason will not be without its drama and anxiety.

A 6-3/6-4 combo would be KU's biggest need. KU will be fine on the wing even if both Braun and Wilson bolted early. Gradey Dick and MJ Rice are interchangeable as far as position goes at the 3/4 spots. Harris/Yesufu/Pettiford/Cuffe have the 1/2 spots on lock down. Clemence and Adams could each play the 4/5 spots if needed. Udeh will be a load at the 5 in the near future, and Ejiofor could step into se minutes right away if needed. A 6-3/6-4 combo guard that can play the 2/3 spots is what KU's missing for next season's line up.

@Texas-Hawk-10 My concern is the 4 spot if CB/JWill both leave. I think at least one will be back. I am also not sold on Rice making it to Lawrence however.

Completely agree though as I mentioned the main want is a guard with plus size. Already a few good options in the portal for that with more coming.

I would be floored if both were gone. If that did happen, I'd take a hard look at Pat Baldwin if he doesn't go pro (ESPN has him a bubble first rounder). Baldwin and Dick would be crazy from 3.

Rice will be here. There's been next to no talk recently of him not coming to KU at this point.

Re: Rice, we're in a holding pattern. He's gone if he gets an Ignite offer. If not, KU it is.

Watching the Zags game, wonder if Sallis would want to pull a Bryce and get a fresh start closer to home 😂

God Billy Packer and Grant Hill can't stop making excuses for Holmgen. He left his feet on both fouls. That's called a foul at least 50% of the time.

I don't think anyone knows what a foul is anymore. Definitely no one knows what a charge is.

@FarmerJayhawk

I know he played a reserve role this season but in every Zaga game I watched (around 10) I didn't see why he was a Top 10 prospect coming in. I see the tools & likely he'll make a jump at some point. Hickman looked more ready this year then him imo

With or without Dave, I'm fine with what KU will have in the front court next season. Zach Clemence with an off-season of strength training will be a contender for most improved player next season. KJ Adams is showing himself to be an elite defender. Ernest Udeh has Doke potential as a rim protector. Zuby Ejiofor has a lot of potential a couple of years from now. None of that also factors in if Jalen Wilson comes back.

I'm comfortable with what KU will have for next season in the front court.

Former 4 star wing Freshman Chance Moore of Arkansas has entered the portal. Played only 8 minutes appearing in 5 games.

Devin Carter who made the All-Freshman SEC team is transferring from South Carolina. The 6'3 guard averaged 9ppg in only 18mpg. Likely to be a big fish on the transfer trail here..

In goes Adam Miller from LSU via Illinois. I suspect he'll try to get a play right away waiver from the coaching change.

@FarmerJayhawk

As I watched the entire LSU team enter I figured he'd jump ship too.

Does KJ have a path to real minutes?

@approxinfinity said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

That is an issue. He has kind of been recruited over. We have a lot of centers on the roster.

@BShark I think his eventual role is as a 4. Not a stretch 4 but like a 4 that can drive.

@benshawks08 he can guard on the perimeter, not sure about his offense at all. He did say after the win against Miami that was the reason he wanted to be at KS.

The offense isn't there. Maybe you can get away with pairing him with Zach but I'd just as soon have all our offensive players being capable of scoring more than a foot away from the basket.

I think ideally he is always a bench piece, like Jamari.

Surprised on Miguel but the other two were easy targets.

@BeddieKU23 He can't shoot at all. Tang is swinging for the fences looking at guys they have contacted.

@approxinfinity I think he does. But he has to get 1000 shots a day up this offseason. I think he is way more skilled already than Jamari. More in the mold of T-Rob. But T-Rob had motivation to get better fast... I'm hoping the young guns coming behind KJ is what motivates him. If he ends up leaving I'll be sad, but I'll get it.

About the only thing Jamari could do. Ugliest jump shot I can ever remember at Kansas.

I dont see either as a comp, KJ has short strong legs and a long upper body. At his ceiling he can move like a guard and be the best perimeter defender not named Marcus we have ever had. I dont see him as being a big scorer ever.

Portal has hit over 1,000 before April. No signs of slowing down I'd imagine either.

I'm throwing out Hoosiers as the landing spot. Absolutely no info to back that up other than he went to high school in Indiana.

I also think we start MJ and Gradey if neither is back but the joke still works there too because Rice sure isn't Steph Curry.

Just looking at the list (https://evanmiya.com/), ↗ most of the top ranked guys don’t make a lot of sense. Shannon clearly does as a replacement for Och/Braun/Wilson. Gaines also might since he’s an absolute lockdown defender. Could be a nice backup to Juan if Bobby doesn’t quite step up like we hope. Landers Nolley makes some sense. Seems like he never found a role at Memphis and a fresh start under a good coach would do him some good. 2 to play. Norchad Omier might make sense as well if we play Zach at the 5.

Not sure I"m telling this guy he needs to build muscle or lose weight. He probably does need to push himself cardio-wise. But trying to make him Doke isn't going to happen. Doke was a FREAK. Kofi would be special in Bill's system.

I really like the guy. I don't understand why he would want to go back to TCU (other than the love of the school). Really think it would benefit him to go to a place that gets him more eyes and asks him to do things not as THE primary scorer.

His advanced stats are just awful if we are being honest. But I really blame that on him HAVING to take some (a lot) of terrible shots. I'd love to see him play somewhere that let's him run and gets him more open looks. Even if it isn't KU, I just think the guy could really show out somewhere else.

@Kcmatt7

Yeah Miles is really good and we saw how well he played up against KU 3 times. He definitely had to shoulder a large role, I think he's a scoring guard in the mold of Frank Mason. Their games have some similarity. He'd look great in Crimson and Blue

@BeddieKU23 sticky hands. terrible shooter.

Yep that is a WVU player.

Looks like Texas Tech may crush the portal again. Their insider feels they may be the favorite to land C Fardaws Aimaq. They are also likely to get a visit from Indiana St guard Tyreke Key (Tennessee is also involved). Kevin Obanor is also heavily considering returning another year.

Loved JCL. I gotta believe that having a guy on the scout team who can hit from 3 as well as any competitor our team would was helpful for our stretch defense. Plus-- that shot at the end of regulation vs TT!! Just a split second from a legendary shot.

If he remained as part of staff, that would be great. Just hope he gets to do something he wants to do!

I assume you are asking about Davis? Seems possible. Given the first transfer player KU has been linked with publicly was another small scoring guard, a Remy replacement seems to be desired by the staff.

Has anyone from KU announced anything official yet or is that still coming over the next couple of weeks now that the title celebration events are mostly over?

KJ Lawson put up good numbers at Tulane this season

@Kcmatt7 I don't see his name on their roster. Looked earlier too.

Looks like KJ was 2019-20, then left for the pros.
No biggie. Just a silly list. If we expand to all time transfers...that’s a better list!

Not unexpected but Dawson Garcia in the Portal again from UNC. Left the team to go home for personal reasons

@BeddieKU23 Really good player when healthy.

Here's a very comparable situation to the potential Kyle Cuffe situation.

Corey Floyd- Former 4 star guard enrolled early at Uconn, redshirted and practiced all year and now in the transfer portal.

Portal over 1300, could reach 1400 by end of week

I assume you are asking about Davis? Seems possible. Given the first transfer player KU has been linked with publicly was another small scoring guard, a Remy replacement seems to be desired by the staff.

Real talk, are we sure we NEED a Remy replacement? We have Juan, Yes, and Bobby all coming back. I'd think that's a pretty good set of little lead guards who can handle. Just need a shooter I'd think no matter the size but bigger would be better.

@benshawks08 Very sure. There is no scoring punch in those 3 (Joe scored off very high volume in a stretch where Drake had no one else). Could see Joe leaving after we bring in another small guard.

@BShark I just know Self said Bobby is going to be a special player at Kansas. That is SUCH high praise from him I just don't see how he doesn't see big minutes next year. Add the point guard that led Kansas to a title who will definitely play 30+ and you've got a bunch of minutes in the back court accounted for. I still believe Yes is going to play too. He showed small bursts of what he could be and it was fun. I'd like to see more of that, personally.

@benshawks08

Getting another veteran scoring guard not only helps replace the huge hole Och is leaving but is leverage against the unknowns of Bobby/Yesufu here. We saw flashes from both but we just don't know how good either is.

I'm a huge Bob fan, think he plays. I'd still like a good third small guard if we can swing it.

@BShark said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:

@benshawks08 Very sure. There is no scoring punch in those 3 (Joe scored off very high volume in a stretch where Drake had no one else). Could see Joe leaving after we bring in another small guard.

The only reason I see Joe staying is that he can either sit a year somewhere else to keep eligibility vs. getting at least a little bit of run here. Then he can transfer after next season as a grad transfer.

He's in a really tough spot and I feel bad for the guy. I think he is a better player than he got the chance to show. KU is just a tough place to play. Bill Self is not for everyone.

At the same time it might not be up to Joe. I don't know that Bill wants to carry 4 small guards.

Transfer big Johnni Broome named his Top 8

Auburn, Duke, Florida, Gonzaga, Houston, Kentucky, Louisville, Memphis

@BeddieKU23 That top 8 do seem like the most likely to want to drop some cash on a player! Though if I were him I'd have replaced Houston with Arkansas for max $$$

I hear Bacot is returning to UNC next year.

@BeddieKU23 Any chance he enters the portal and comes to Kansas? I think I'd take him. Would definitely like him more if he did that...He did talk about liking playing for Bill in the under 18 game. lol.

@benshawks08

We definitely can dream but I'd put the chance at 0.00%. Agree he'd be perfect here

Was just gonna say about the scoring. If this is Davis from SMU we are talking here, if there is a possibility of him coming here - -then you go head 1st, like 19.4 ppg and I think over it was like 4.3 assists per right ? - -and on top of that right at 37 or a hair over shooting the three. You HAVE to go after someone like that if he is showing interest in you- -which I've he is very interested not even a question about it - -!00 % take

I think and heard a pretty good chance when it's all said and done - -Joe , is another very likely transfer. - - -If Davis DOES indeed come so then you have lot's of floor time experience , established scorer. - -and as you said Bobby will be playing more add him with Juan - Joe get's squeezed

Samuel Williamson transferring to SMU

Samuel Williamson transferring to SMU

Better level for him.

Fun story for those that may not know, plus it's been awhile.

KU had been recruiting Sam Williamson for awhile. When he was basically unranked and his other offers were Incarnate Word, Abilene Christian etc because he was a KU legacy. At the time this story happened, Sam was a 4* recruit, top 40 range and CB was #182 (lol). CB pops up on KU's radar in late August (KSU thought they had a real shot at him in mid August). They bring him in for an unofficial visit on August 30th (the day before Sam's visit) and Bill loves what he sees, offers on the spot. Sam comes in the next day with his parents and his mom is not happy about the offer to another kid at the same position. Bill asks for a commitment from Sam or KU is moving on because they had a kid they really like ready to commit (CB).

Work in silence basically. Remember last year we barely heard about KU being linked with guys we ended up snagging. Bill will get some guys, I have no doubt.

Davis would be a homerun get. Proven 4 year player at multiple places (he already had Big-12 experience). Can't imagine anyone else has a bigger and better pitch then we got right now. I would be surprised if we weren't in this.

2 out of 3 ain't bad (assuming my intel is correct).

I think in most cases a kid in Joe's situation would transfer but he genuinely seems to love it here and doesn't mind the bench role.

I suspect we will have 2 waves of exits. My guess... 2 at a time. 4 total. Just a hunch. I figure my hunches are right about 40% of the time. lol

And I don't expect we will fill our scholarship card because Self sees more value that way unless he sees a potential problem with a player.

4 counting going pro early? I'd go 4-5 for sure in that case. I think getting one of CB/JWill back would be a big win.

@BShark

My vibe is 4 in the transfer portal alone. I imagine Self has a lot of talent to consider in the portal and can better build a lineup to make us compete for another title next year.

I definitely feel we will snag at least one breathtaking catch like we did last year with Remy.

Agree. <3

At worst a great practice player.

Cam really does NOT want to leave. This could get interesting...

The change in transfer rules has really changed my feeling about departures. We can afford to lose guys like KJ more now. It makes it easier to just wish him the absolute best if he leaves, because if he becomes a starter and a stud somewhere else then he chose wisely. Id love to see him 4 years in crimson and blue, but Id also love to see him become a beast at a place where he gets extended run.

Oh hi

Needs for next year: shooting

Not sure any of KU’s rumored portal departures fit that role. So I’d guess Self takes on two guardish shooters at least.

One to start, one off the bench.

I imagine Yesufu enters the portal soon. He loves it at KU, and can play at this level, but he's not going to get the chance to really show what he can do. If he did hit the portal, I think there would be a ton of schools interested. He would be an immediate upgrade for most programs either as a starter or first man off the bench.

The portal is really about finding the right fit. Guys come in wanting to be one type of player, but end up not getting that opportunity, or getting bypassed, or hurt, or struggling on the court or academically, and the portal gives them a chance for a reset. I'm glad it exists, honestly. I had a friend (non-athlete) that went to three different schools before he found the right one, graduated, and moved into a good career. I think athletes having that same chance is a great thing, and makes coaches accountable for the things they promise.

Makes sense, where else would he go.

@BShark

Approaching his 300th yr there

Based on Self's comments at the banquet, Bobby and KJ are bedrock guys. He won't do anything that jeopardizes them.

Based on what I saw this year, Yesufu is a legitimate asset to the team. But I can also see where there aren't enough chairs when the music stops. His talent is legit and he deserves to be able to show his abilities. Would hate to see him go, but that could happen.

Listening to the banquet, Self just seems to have a different relationship with the transfers compared to the recruits. He didn't need to play head games with Remy any more (he did all season and he won — see the results), but just couldn't help himself. I'm glad Remy got MOP of Midwest Region. He deserved some hardware for his contribution. I'm hopeful we're doing something for JCL as well. By all accounts, he was a stabilizing, mature force on the team (and a sharpshooter amongst a group of sharpshooters). I think Yesufu was also a mature force on the team behind the scenes. These guys definitely deserve recognition for contributions that are off the court, in the locker room and beyond.

@bskeet He wouldn't boot KJ, a complete non-issue in that regard. KJ's mom however....

:helicopter: :helicopter: :helicopter:

@BShark Ahhh. Too bad. I wish him and the family the best. Hopefully they can rest easy that he is in a good place and needs the space to learn how to take care of himself.

Think were great for all involved with JCL btw. Much bigger than basketball on that one.

@BShark I think it's been said but JCL is sticking around.

It sounded like that. Self was not specific. But I hear JCL was interested in coaching, so maybe Self is working a bit more deliberately on building a tree... Case certainly seems to have his support as well.

@bskeet

I'd take comments said at the banquet with little substance imo. There will be real conversations behind the scenes

Would Yes be able to transfer without sitting out a year? I thought you can only do it once?

@mayjay we would help him get a waiver if that situation comes up.

Absolutely they are not even hiding it

Also I don't feel bad for ISU at all.

70% of their points last season came from transfers. No chance Brockington ended up at ISU for free.

So when does our KU boys announce ?

I think you'll see action this week. The one's that want to go through the draft have until the 24th.

So did a little snooping FWIW. been rumored that Hunter was done deal to NC - - umm don't think so. - -# 1 they have no room, plus like people saying be no reason when you have Caleb Love coming back - -you have RJ Davis there and on top of that you have Trimble coming in - just not a fit. - Having said that heard that 247 sports has listed Hunter as the # 2 available transfer now that he is in

@jayballer67 Yeah I'm sure he will have a long line. Far from done, don't think there is a favorite at this time but I'm pretty sure we will take a look.

UNC won't be a major player for Hunter. There's just not PT (or a scholarship) available.

@BeddieKU23 Lon's son is coaching UNLV

Portal about to hit 1400 today.

ISU fans are cracking me up still. Hunter obviously went to ISU, without ever stepping foot in Ames previously, for free. And he stayed with the coaching change, for free, because he loved that school he's never seen in person so much.

@Kcmatt7 Ha.

ISU, maybe correctly so, puts quite a bit into football these days. It might be a struggle for them to maintain relevancy in basketball unless they divert more there.

Personally I rather enjoy KU's appoach to limited funds. Be great in basketball.

@Kcmatt7

They taking it as well as KU fans took Bryce or Grimes leaving?

I do find this situation a bit odd. As you mentioned he stuck with ISU even after his coach was fired, had to establish a new relationship with TJ & then played under him and led them to the Sweet 16.

It was already social media rumor that Hunter was being courted by other programs without being in the portal officially. Now he's in and its high bidding time. Not sure that's someone I actually want from the portal. We all see he's a really good player that's going to get better but from an 8 foot view it certainly seems like he's chasing a bag more then chasing other things. Who knows.

I fully think loyalty is to the biggest paycheck. But he'd be locked down here. It would be either the NBA or stay for three seasons. And he plays his ass off so I'm good with it. Not like a guy who has talent but plays when he feels like it.

Sounds like he spent some time back home in Wisconsin after their tournament exit in Chicago. Old people from his circle got in his ear. One of his old teammates upgraded from a small school to Wisconsin and he got to see the financial difference.

@Kcmatt7

Agree he definitely plays hard and has plenty of talent that fits here. Just wondering how locked in he'll actually be after he gets the bag he wants. It's an interesting dynamic I'm watching with this NIL.

@BeddieKU23 Thats a nice site, seems to show everyone. I had found this one https://www.on3.com/db/transfer-portal/wire/basketball/2022/ ↗ but the names were different. It gives the ability to filter and shows interesting information like "NIL Value" and stuff like that. It says Emoni Bates just entered however your site doesn't say that. Maybe its showing when it posted? I don't know.

@RockkChalkk

The top part lists all recent updates either entering the portal or a player selecting a new school. If you scroll down and search via name you'll find him or by old school. He's on that list. On3 is another resource as well although not as up to date as VC

@BeddieKU23 Yeah his dad is an assistant there.

Really not anything even beginning to be excited about through the portal - kinda sucks, see all these other schools pulling these guys is - -Us NADA -ZELCH - -ZERO. But you also have to look at it this way, you just don't take someone to be taking someone and then say - -oh ya we were really active through the portal Coach knows what he is doing.

Thankfully it looks like maybe we dodged the whole Dennis BS , you can't tell me that there aren't many players better talented - better fit for the KU team then Dennis. I watched Dennis play a lot and NOT that impressed. - Many times became a black hole you throw the ball to him - it's not coming back many forced shots -many low percentage shots so hope we put that conversation to rest --hopefully he ends up in Indiana would very happy with that. So Although we have no one at the present, seems like we go through this evey year & every year we end up just fine- Got to beleive -- Got to have trust in the Staff I'm sure we will get really good players/role players whatever is needed when it's all said and done

!alt text ↗

https://wreg.com/sports/tyler-harris-enters-the-transfer-portal-says-decision-was-not-his/ ↗ Connect the dots with Kendric Davis.

The portal is interesting because guys go to one school and have one role, then go somewhere else and get a different role that is more suited to them.

Imagine, for instance, if Dajuan Harris had stuck with Missouri State and they tried to make him into more of a scoring guard that took 7-10 shots per game. That's obviously not his game. He probably would have struggled in that environment. Imagine him now entering the portal after two years of putting up close to 10 shots a game. His numbers look something like 8.3 ppg, 3 assists, 1.5 turnovers, 49% FG%, 29% 3PT.

We would look at those numbers and say he isn't good enough too play at KU, except that because Harris came here first and was in the correct role, he has played well and was a starter on a national champion. Or maybe he goes to Missouri State and plays the same role for them that he has here at KU, except that because he's the third option instead of the fifth, his numbers are up only slightly, but his efficiency is down.

And I'm saying this assuming he is exactly the same player that he is today, the same guy that just helped KU win a national title, that made a couple of huge plays in the national championship game.

Fit is so important, especially in college basketball, where coaches and systems are so rigid that going to the wrong school or having the wrong role could change the course of your entire career.

@BShark

Not the most trustworthy, Tyler had already transferred 3 times including going back to Memphis..

@justanotherfan Completely agree and I think Dennis would be a great fit for us.

Though I fully expect us to be waiting for the roster to be filled into late May/early June. I know we are targeting guys that are currently going through the draft process.

@BeddieKU23 True but the timing reaaaally lines up here. Penny making it so he doesn't even have another PG on the roster when we have 3 listed.

Dennis was a 40% trey shooter as a freshman. Did you ever watch him and the Shockers play during his stay there? I can't believe he stayed there that long because their offense was a joke and it hurt everyone's game... He is an elite athlete with great form.

Being a great defender along with Juan would be a great match.

You have an emotional investment in the kid which I don't have. What worried me was on an 18 minute highlight video of his very best plays, I counted two (2) drives to the basket. Him playing together with Juan on defense would be great, but the flip side is he'd be playing offense together with Juan, and combining a point guard who doesn't score with a guard that doesn't drive, and shoots 30% from 3 is a bridge too far for me.

Drat, losing Och and CB would really crush our outside shooting ability.

This looks like a great lineup for 1983, but maybe not for the modern outside shooting game. That transfer better be rock solid from 3, and an efficient scorer.

That is if what I’m reading about Rice is accurate...his game is more bully ball slash and powerful than outside threat at this point.

@rockchalkjayhawk I suspect that the shooting will sort itself out. .340 is the worst shooting team Bill has ever had. Still ended up with a 2 seed.

Majority of the time he finds a way to get the team around .380 from deep.

Just because Mj Rice is next level strong already doesn't mean he cant shoot. He can shoot. As Self described him when he commited he is a Pure Scorer. He was at Oak Hill putting up numbers on a sorry Oak Hill teamthen transfer to Prolific Prep. Gradey is a Pure Shooter who can go to the NBA right now and be a above 40% shooter but have to work on Ball Handling more to be the complete package
