Valpo freshman All Wright, yes that's his name. Very talented kid. I would definitely go after him
Keep a close eye on the other Valpo transfer Cooper Schwieger. From Overland Park and Bill wants to add a lot of bigs.
Seems like one we should be in on, KS kid. 2 years left with big production. Rebounding and rim protection there too
We are in contact
@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:
Will mention UNLV guard transfer Dedan Thomas, talented but rumored to have a destination already (Houston).
Yeah Houston lock. His mom wanted him there last year but his dad wanted him to stay at UNLV. Now UNLV has no money therefore

Stretch bigs right? Like guys for rebounding and shooting at least. We aren't trying to add another footer to go next to Flory/Tiller right?
I've heard Bill wants to add 3 bigs do with this information what you will. That would mean 5 on the roster.
Sounds like actual bigs too, like not focused on big guards at that spot. Bill on his shit.

The advanced numbers for the Iowa players isn't as bad as you would think. Both are better than Griffen, Storr, Mayo, or Coit's advanced numbers before coming to KU.
I like Josh Dix if we are eye balling a sharp shooter replacement if Rylan leaves. That said I really like the idea of Bill getting back to his roots. Get players that are multi-faceted. Guys willing to defend and rebound that can drive to score.
The Simpkins twins from Elon are in the portal. :)
@BeddieKU23 said in Peterson:
Says he will be out a few months more, hopeful ready for summer workouts.
We can just put a giant kibosh right now about him being a factor for next year.
Hopefully they will treat him like he's the 14th guy and recruit over to fill the gaps we will have at the 4 and behind Flory (hopefully).
Another not ideal situation occuring similar to Elmarko's last year. They have time to adjust at least
I fully expect KU to sign 3 bigs in the portal if we count the 4 spot as a big.
@dylans said in 2025 Portal Madness Thread:
@approxinfinity I think they (ucf players) take on the character of their coach.
Pretty much this IMO. Dawkins isn't known for running a tight ship either. Their roster is filled with reclamation projects as well.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2025 Portal Madness Thread:
Think I saw Trilly report Keyshawn Hall from UCF who we play tonight and had 34 against us last time could be in play for that 3 or 4 spot.. if he enters which i would imagine is likely. So early but KU mentioned there.
KU/Ohio State/Ole Miss listed as the three leading early.
@BeddieKU23 said in Peterson:
Tiller had ankle surgery recently. Another setback
It's now been almost a full year since he played a basketball game. Not great bob!
Haphazard line-ups tonight. Storr has given up multiple wide open threes.
So it's very very early, but currently I am monitoring...
Lajae Jones
PJ Haggerty
There will be many more names to come I'm sure.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2025 Portal Madness Thread:
Certainly may need the right spot but has put up some numbers to say the least this year.
Definitely has solid numbers and can score the basketball. Best player on a team that went 12-21 and did have some stinkers as well (including all three games against St Thomas). Defense is abysmal so for me that's a non-starter with Bill Self as I'm really hoping we can better identify playstyle fits this offseason.
@BeddieKU23 I think he sucks and I'm not being sarcastic. I'm often wrong though..

“When guys commit you don’t cease contact”
Either the board doesn’t read or it doesn’t comprehend - not sure which
Yeah you have a relationship and keep in touch but flying out for a senior night…says a whole lot
Go find me where Self or an assistant went to Josh Jackson, or Embiid, or Wiggins Senior Night and get back to me
There’s some smoke that yeah adidas is holding this together but the reason Townsend was out there on a Friday night wasn’t because “I’m supporting DP for senior night”
Well Josh and Wiggs didn’t commit until after their seasons were over so there was no worry they’d decommit before they committed. Darryn is as rock solid as it gets to KU.
Must be tiring to try and discuss with someone that isn't dealing in reality.
@BeddieKU23 said in Peterson:
National Player of the Year! He deserved it
BYU fans are going to be very mad online.
@dylans said in Chiefs offseason:
Jaylon Moore is the LT for the next couple years. I like this pickup. He played very well spelling a hurt Trent Williams. 27 years old and healthy. I’m glad the Ravens sewed up Stanley early!
Talked with a friend of mine that is a lifelong 49ers fan. Said he's fine not amazing. We both agreed fine would be a huge upgrade vs what KC was trotting out last season at the position.
@rcjhdraft said in This is The Feel Good Edition KU-AZ:
I like the big 12 tourney draw. Finals run feels doable
Bill taking it seriously would feel like a first. If ever there was a year to do so though..
@kjayhawks Could be a 7 but beating Arizona will help.
@Bosthawk Most likely about Dajuan's brother.
@dylans said in Chiefs offseason:
@wissox Thuney is very good, you should be very happy when he arrives.
Yep. Right move for the Chiefs I feel because they had to but they definitely lost a good player.
@BeddieKU23 Adidas is in deep. If they can help it at all he will end up at an Adidas school.
Prediction: no!
:rolling_on_the_floor_laughing:
@rockchalkjayhawk Any total studs this year? I feel like things might have swung back around with RBs to where they are actually undervalued if you can find a true super Saquon type level talent. Saquon completely warped the super bowl, which isn't clear from his stats but is obvious with an understanding of football.
Different position but I really like Tyler Warren. I don't believe he will be on the board when the Chiefs pick however.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs offseason:
Wow, keeping Perine over Hunt?
The WR room may look different yet again, huh.
I'd consider drafting someone to go with X and Rice. Could be a NASTY wr group.
It's a lot to process, scout etc... a GM would help
Team forgot the 2nd half was starting
There has been zero credible talk about losing either fwiw
He has played, and hasn't been all that good lately. I like him and look forward to him starting next year but right now he's not the answer.
Flory was horrible today, but he will improve.
@approxinfinity Yes
@BeddieKU23 I like the fit there. Rebounding, acceptable shooter etc.. I'll need to see if I can find any full games to see how he handles/dribbles.
@BeddieKU23 said in Elmarko Healthcheck:
I'm very optimistic about next year. Peterson is a star. Self just needs to get the right guys around to compliment.
Will be interesting to see how we attack the portal. Should be more concerned about fit than the sexiest name. Hope Bill has learned something after Storr.
@rockchalkjayhawk yeah I think a lot of it is effort. The second half in Waco several of our guys were low energy. Particularly noticeable with Zeke.
It's really quite funny... This year the computers say we are good and the fans are grumpy and saying we suck. Quite inverted from some recent years and I think a lot of it is KJ and Juan fatigue. This is a top 7 team on Kenpom. The way they lost to Houston and Baylor obviously leaves a sour taste...
Iowa State could not get by KJ last night. That was a beastly defensive effort from him. I'm as much a detractor as anyone but he was key last night.
Great thread title.
Iowa State seems broken lately.
Abysmal defense this half
Zeke's effort is bad today and I never thought I'd say we should be feeding the post more but Hunt should be getting more touches.
Baylor has 3 players with 4 fouls and we are running plays for KJ Adams lol
This is a better team without #24 but yet Bill plays him all half and wonders where it went wrong.
This is a worse loss than the Houston game
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Dajuan Harris:
Also sounds like a chance that both Roach and Love return today for Baylor.

Anybody know why Shak didn’t get any run in the second half? That was weird.
He messes up the offensive plays constantly. He was also bad last night in general. Bill be unwilling to go to him or AJ is probably why we saw that 3 big crap in hindsight.
Not sure which is more frustrating, watching shak and AJ blow up an offensive set by being in the wrong spot or diggy on d just wave exuberantly as he is either significantly out of position or in a ridiculous mismatch. Diggy was the main reason that dude went for 30. Everyone had to help him so much.
Yeah Diggy was out there guarding air. Kind of surprised Self went with him but I guess he felt we needed offense more.

Haters cmere. Front and center. Tonight was extremely telling how important he is to this team. They looked frequently disjointed on both ends.

@BShark jeez
It's the smart basketball play
If we don't foul here I will be so mad
If Juan can't go at Baylor...oh man
