Don't think the Carr stuff has real legs.

Remy • Jul 05, 2021 08:34 PM

@KirkIsMyHinrich Word seems to be getting around that he told the staff he will be on campus soon.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Jul 05, 2021 05:18 PM

Remy + Carr and we are natty favourites.

Big loss for West Virginia as McBride stays in the draft

The difference between WVU competing for the league title and maybe finishing 5th imo..

Keep an eye on this one. KU is a game changing offer here. ?s=21

I like what I'm seeing on youtube dot com.

Zuby Ejiofor • Jul 03, 2021 06:15 PM

As for Ejiofor I think he is a great addition. Borderline 5* depending on how things progress. More importantly is he is good fit as the type of big Self has done well with in the past.

Zuby Ejiofor • Jul 03, 2021 06:13 PM

:fa-puzzle-piece:

So, just like Bill not going after a 4 type all offseason was indicative of Jalen returning I would read similarly into the fact that he rushed out and locked down Ejiofor for the year after. I would fully expect this season to be Jalen's last at KU.

Newest Jayhawk as we know.

https://www.maxpreps.com/athlete/zuby-ejiofor/eg96tgFLpkGFkyHu3xBo1Q/basketball/stats.htm#year=20-21 ↗

73% from 2 and the line. 20% from 3 (lol). Averaged 19/12/2/2/2

@KirkIsMyHinrich Seemed notable that Self never aggressively pursued a transfer at the 4 spot.

@BShark said in Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning:

Both stay 99%. Feel very strongly about this from what I've heard.

Never a doubt.

It's all just dream talk anyway.

K.J. Adams • Jul 02, 2021 05:46 PM

@Oldmanhawk said in K.J. Adams:

@BShark yeah, seems like almost every year someone unexpected really meshes with the team and becomes an important piece. Would love to see KJ be that guy. Looking forward to seeing more play above the rim

Yeah I am not sure how much he plays this year but he really has the look of a guy that ends up playing more than the fan base expects. Jamari being a classic example.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Jul 02, 2021 03:24 PM

No room. Good player though.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Kofi Cockburn is better than Dave, but going all out to bring him in also risks destroying team chemistry by alienating one of the leaders of the team.

Agree. It would also run the risk of hurting relationships with Team Loaded and Oak Hill, which you don't want of course.

2022 Recruiting Thread • Jul 02, 2021 03:22 AM

Also, Nigerian Jayhawks. :smiling_face_with_heart-eyes:

K.J. Adams • Jul 02, 2021 02:31 AM

Yeah he's gonna be a Bill favorite.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Love this pickup!

This is the kind of big we've been missing. Strong, good rebounder. We needed someone to bang and rebound to go along with Zach. Will probably take a bit for him to develop offensively, would be nice to have Danny for that lol.

Shit, I'd personally contribute. Total beast.

Now the #22 ranked player on 247

Imagine doubting Bill's analysis. My bad lol.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning:

Och - 3:1 odds he leaves

Wilson: 9:1 leaves

After Wilson had an absolute trash fire combine, he's coming back fo sho. Still like my 3:1 odds on Och.

Not too surprising. In the past he probably would have been a 4 year guy.

Feeling pretty good about Aidan Shaw.

@approxinfinity

KU was recruiting Smith at one point, not surprised he's going this route

Something adjacent to recruiting anyway. Definitely not worth it.

Hard to be mad not landing him when we dropped bags for Remy and Yesufu.

Only so much budget, this is true. Texas must be sinking a lot of money into hoops right now.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in NBA Draft Entrants:

This could be just a moms wise sense, but I'm seeing Wilson really wrapped up in his gf. I think it could have been some of his downward trend after Christmas. More time with her than team and bb. Just a feeling.

He is definitely very into her, but also very serious about basketball. He just wasn't there yet for a lot of reasons but he will be better this year.

And yes he will be at that g league selects thing. But, expect him and Ochai to be back. Then it will be Jalen's last year at KU.

Sounds like Bryson Warren had a great visit to KU Sunday. - - A 4 * Combo Guard from Link Yr Mo Academy , transfer out of Arkansas. The # 4 Combo in the class and ranked # 32 overall

Warren said it was great getting to talk with all the Coach's , Calling KU the GOD Father of Basketball A high 3 level Scorer Some of the other Schools after him are :

Auburn , Tennessee , G Town , Vanderbilt , North Carolina , Arizona State , Wisconsin , & Arkansas plus some others. - Sounds like we made a pretty good impression we shall see.

Major target for the staff.

HOLY SHIT

Christian Eriksen's Heart Stopped • Jun 13, 2021 12:49 AM

He's alive/talking at least. Still too early to know if he will play again.

2022 Crootin • Jun 10, 2021 10:33 PM

@FarmerJayhawk I like top 500 players, I really do.

@BShark 😂

I'm serious. Big time KU families. Wilhite's grandma has been working at KU since forever.

New Walk-on • Jun 08, 2021 06:24 PM

Both are really from Kansas, basically.

@Marco said in Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning:

At this point, I really don't even care.

It's pretty important. Jalen is a crucial piece though I think it is telling that Bill didn't aggressively pursue another option for that spot.

Both stay 99%. Feel very strongly about this from what I've heard.

New Walk-on • Jun 07, 2021 04:36 PM

?s=21

Walk-on confirmed.

New Walk-on • Jun 07, 2021 02:21 AM

Charlie McCarthy. Wasn't really announced, he was just in this tweet:

Second pic.

Son of Kent and Missy McCarthy, notable donors to say the least.

I am assuming with the walk-on part, maybe student manager or something. Either way, great to have around the program.

Bill is personally involved with recruiting Epps. Safe to say things are heating up there.

A very interesting development could be happening with a 22 recruit on KU's radar. Don't think this recruit ends up here but this would be a positive development that would help. Will quote this post once official. :crystal_ball:

@Marco said in Going to get real easy for KU from here on..:

@BShark Nope. We are Kansas, not Alabama or Villanova or Michigan.

True. Nova wins titles more often.

Not really. UNC and Duke still have a great brand and Nike behind them. If they falter well we see Alabama, Nova, Michigan etc

@Marco don't underestimate UCLA
