Bryce had the worst season ever (advanced stats) or anyone for KU that played real minutes. Yes, worse than Charlie Moore by a fair margin. That's nuts.

@BeddieKU23 We've never had a post player close to that bad. Massoud from Wake Forest. Looks like he loves hanging around the perimeter.
KSU looking to add a post player that shot 34% from the floor. :skull:
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Bryce Thompson to transfer:
From what I read, his dad had a problem with the staff.
Correct. The assistants in particular really did not like him from what I heard.
Beard is loading up on transfers I see.
@FarmerJayhawk Yep. KU had very strict covid protocols.
@wissox Yeah there is going to be much less loyalty among players and coaches now with the rule likely becoming permanent. For better or worse I guess :/
@AsadZ The rumor is he wants to start and it probably wasn't going to happen for him at KU next year. He was absolutely not forced out though, the first of the transfers out for KU this year where that was the case.
@justanotherfan I'd be shocked with TGF, but I get your point.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BShark Definitely better with less volume the season before... Idk I wouldn't be pissed but I'm not going to jump out of my chair if we get him.
Indeed. There is a ton of talent in the portal, that's for sure.

Advanced stats are not great but...
@Kcmatt7 Very much agree. KU social media really did a great job promoting Hudy, but she wasn't what some made her out to be.
I think Ochai returning would be a miracle/surprise but who knows at this point.
Hudy out.
Honestly Hudy was largely overrated. KU upgraded that position and Texas probably is as well.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
I don't feel good about anything!
How will we replace Bryce with his 22% three point shooting and hugely negative bpm???
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BShark I feel pretty good about replacing Howard....
Sounds like Self wants to go the young recruiter route. Definitely what we need.
@FarmerJayhawk yeah just concerned about next year.
We need to replace Snacks pretty badly. It was a bigger loss than people realize.
@FarmerJayhawk I've seen nothing but Tulsa?
Yeah, weird take for Texas IMO.
@KirkIsMyHinrich will he crack their rotation? lol
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@Kcmatt7 Hope so. Sad to see Bryce go, I think he had a lot of potential. But ultimately he needs to do what's best for him.
Yeah I'm torn because I thought he had potential but honestly he sucked.
Wonder who we end up getting...
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
So we now have 3 scholarships open and that doesn't change if Garrett returns or not.
I mean technically four but I think Jalen will return.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
@Marco Klintman very much looks like a modern 4. He's like 6'8 for real.
Elite passer.
Kentucky has offered TyTy, it's ovah.
Bobi Klintman is moving from Sweden to Wichita to play high school basketball despite having offers to go basically anywhere including pro clubs in Europe. Mutual interest with KU. Something to keep an eye on. :)
Braun was better by any metric. Like @Kcmatt7 said he looked good because we hardly had any guards and wings that could not create.
Like, if you are Harris you see Bill has already added two more PGs and is after a third. I mentioned during the season that I don't think Bill knows what to do with Harris because he isn't the kind of guard Self looks for and has had a lot in the past. Yesufu and Pettiford are absolutely "Bill Self guards" and I could see a Harris transfer being one of those rare cases where it works out best for both sides.
Scott on 247 insinuating that we might see another KU player enter the portal... A guard...
Elite player, doubt we get him.
Lots of talk about recruiting over him because of how Tyon went, but yeah, all talk. He will sign with KU.
Kid should call up Goldwire and ask him how this goes.
Signing on Friday.

Old friend Langston Wilson decommitted from Bama
Recruited over before stepping on campus. Nate Oats is a G.
You think KU takes another run at him?
I do not. Bishop >>>>
And it seems like we might not even have room for Bishop. I hope we do though.
@BeddieKU23 I like him a lot but he can't even see his ceiling right now. Probably needs PT that we can't offer.

All eternity probably.
The reality is we need to improve our football brand.
@Kcmatt7 Imagine Adidas actually delivering us one of their top players.
lol
@Kcmatt7 looooool too true
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@BShark Bill need to tap into the safe?
In a way yes. Bill would need to hire Tony Bergeron as an assistant coach. Mitchell's HS coach and the boyfriend of Mitchell's mom. UMass let him go which is why we've seen the transfers.

Look at how many players there went to "Woodstock Academy".
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
what a relief
Still not convinced we see any movement until TyTy "RJ" Washington announces.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
Och come back.
And then give me Alfonso and deliver the bag to Tre Mitchell and let's get the show on the road.
There is only one way to get Tre Mitchell.
Pinson to LSU thankfully.
Having Cade for one year will have an impact beyond one year in terms of the development of the OSU players imo. Very big positive.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
We offered Bishop a scholarship so there's definitely interest. Kind of surprised there wasn't a decision already made. Wondering if the recent movement with Ochai is causing them to rethink another forward. Need another wing now if he doesn't return
Believe he is waiting to see if we have a spot.
@BeddieKU23 Completely agree about Bryce. Bill loves him, and his work ethic is fantastic.
And yeah I would lean towards adding another guard and another big/wing, likely Bishop. One player would have to stay pro to add two more, and I would lean towards Ochai.
Xavier Pinson allegedly deciding between LSU and KU soon.
@Kcmatt7 I'm getting RJ vibes with TyTy.
