Lol. And I thought early season bracketology was worthless.

Initially committed to Memphis too. It is pretty ridiculous.
It wouldn't be impacting this cycle at all.
@Kcmatt7 SEC always has a ton of talent these days. Strong ass league.
Sounds like KU has a great shot at KJ Lewis if he doesn't end up in the GLeague. Lewis and Justin McBride would be nasty additions.
@Woodrow He didn't really say. I just didn't like how the blurb on KU read tbh.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Wonder if he'll be right about Brakefield as well
Pretty rare when he misses.
He played it PERFECTLY with the Tyson Walker gif choice.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
DJ Jeffries to Miss St
Slater had this one quite awhile ago interestingly enough.
@Oldmanhawk Nope. Bill is going to recruit and have a spot for him until the end. Then whiff and scramble. Seen it before, but we will be fine. Biggest key is Jalen coming back as expected.
Tamar Bates to Indiana. Good on him for picking another black coach. Glad that talk wasn't bullshit.
So I will preface this with obviously it is the decision of TyTy and his family, they can take however long they want. But I really was hoping he would decide soon so the staff can move on.
@BeddieKU23 reading the article after the teaser KU has no shot lol.

This young sniper has entered the portal.
KU beat him once, and will do it again.
Don't see him ending up at KU.
Will be interesting to monitor Gonzaga's recruiting going forward, without Tommy Lloyd.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Marcus Williams to Texas A&M
Makes sense. Bossi said he needed to be back closer to home in Texas. A&M also needs guys badly.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Never heard of him.
@Texas-Hawk-10 I think it's fairly telling in regards to Wilson that Bishop ended up at Texas. Of course things can change. Sure hope he comes back.
@mayjay The KU bench was heinously bad this year by KU standards. Definitely didn't help like you said.
Another thing will be low and mid majors are going to have their better players leave for big schools much more often now once they prove they can play.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Dylan Andrews committed to UCLA
Yeah no surprise there. His friend Kijani Wright looks like a G League candidate.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
What about Wilson's buddy from OU? Harmon?
Apparently they are actually not close. Heard that KU won't even talk to Harmon because Jalen will be back and they can't co-exist. RJ also doesn't like Harmon and RJ and Jalen are of course close. This is all hearsay of course but the guy I am hearing it from has always had correct info about Jalen. Lives in Texas, knows his HS coach I believe.
@Woodrow said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
He will be a pain in our ass for the next two years
Maybe, but did we need and 8th big? I would have taken him but I can see why he picked Texas.
Akinjo into the portal. Please at least contact him Bill.
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah I don't think he had a real defined role for KU. You can't play two non-shooting bigs.
He could very well start there whereas Bossi said Self told him he would be coming off the bench.
Bishop to Texas.
UNC is out for Bishop, sounds like that was probably the pick but it was first to commit with him and Manek.
Listening to an interview with Vernon and he said Self has had enough "nice guys" on the roster. He wants "tough guys" more in line with the kind of guys we had around 2010. We need DAWGS.
@Kcmatt7 said in Kyle Cuffe JR:
@BeddieKU23 I'd rather take a step back trying to get better than run it back with the shit show we just watched a season ago.
Better off breaking in new guys I agree. They weren't going anywhere with the roster as it was. Not sure KU is a real threat next year regardless.
Good news is we will win games anyway because Bill is ridiculous. I think we are adding good talent long term.
Bishop recruitment looks like a wild ride based on the recent Bossi post...
@BeddieKU23 Texas people seem to think they aren't really in it. Hoping they are right.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Made sense the UNC board had a scouting report of him
Manek was not the same player this yr. Hopefully he gets back to 100%
Clearly had covid. Moreover, this seems like good news RE Bishop.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Nah its real 🐦 View Tweet
@Texas-Hawk-10 agree I think this would be a good move.
@BeddieKU23 said in Kyle Cuffe JR:
So basically Kyle can come here, redshirt and then transfer somewhere else for more playing time close to home. Got it
If he takes a RS he is all-in on the program and wouldn't transfer at least after that season. Heard some good things from his dad in regards to that.
He has a lot to work on, but has a ton of potential.
Bossi thinks he is a RS candidate fwiw.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
So did Chasen, basically saying that Marcus coming back would be about the lack of pro options, not who KU has signed to play at guard
Exactly.
@BeddieKU23 Bossi pretty much put the nail in the coffin on this over in the Sports Bar today.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BShark y tho?
At least get a guy who can shoot the ball. Yesufu about the only proven shooter on next season's team
Garrett will not be back. I'd put him returning at 1% right now.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Alphonso Plummer released his top 5, no KU.
Illinois, Florida, Georgia, and Texas Tech
Will announce on Saturday
Makes sense. Staff likes Collins a lot.
@BeddieKU23 The only concern is their sos which was basically dead last in the country, 322nd.
@BeddieKU23 We saw what happened with Goldwire lol. Duke is great at retaining bench guys like that though.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Blakes isn't bad at all but agree they are scrambling
He's not a bad player but we are talking about Duke here. Thought he would end up in the Big East or possibly a lower level ACC school.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Meanwhile Duke took a transfer from Davidson that avg 2ppg last season
I mean they were clearly desperate when they offered Cuffe's friend.
Stud alert.
@Woodrow said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BShark Did Bossi say what he was hearing on Bishop?
There's a whole lot of "it's probably Kansas" but this whole thing has a weird feel to it. Like @Texas-Hawk-10 and others have mentioned it's not a great fit but if he loves KU enough to come here and be a bench piece that's pretty cool.
@BeddieKU23 I'm still skeptical personally given the interest in Collins but apparently Ochai is somewhat likely to come back according to Chasen and Bossi. Sounds like we won't see a decision on that or Garrett (though Garrett is very likely gone) for awhile yet.
