This was one of the worst 2 point shooting teams in Bill's time at KU.

Which honestly is fairly related to length and athleticism. Bill is addressing things in recruiting, I've been pleased so far.

Jalen Wilson will return • Apr 01, 2021 06:52 PM

We should pretty much just play Jalen at the 4. I want to see two actual guards in the game as much as possible so hopefully recruiting continues to go well.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Apr 01, 2021 06:26 PM

@BeddieKU23 Feel like we would have too many wings to play. I want to play 2 guards at all times and possibly 3 a lot depending on how things break.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Apr 01, 2021 05:42 PM

@FarmerJayhawk I think he is Ochai insurance. The recent Athletic article basically confirmed it with "mid major wing" imo.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Apr 01, 2021 05:39 PM

@FarmerJayhawk Not a lot of meat here unless I missed something.

Chandler Lawson in the portal.

DePaul the one to watch here

Yeah. DePaul is about to be raking in talent. Should compete in the Big East.

@jayballer67 Not a lick lol. Believe he was Jalen insurance.

Beard to Texas • Apr 01, 2021 03:52 PM

Time to earn your money Billy Eugene

ELITE RIVALRY STATUS IS BACK.

Our games against Beard are always a war.

@RockkChalkk said in So- with all these players coming and going, what is next years team gonna look like?:

I hope Jalen is in the long term plans, don't have to be an above the rim player to be effective, ahem Perry ahem. He had some games early on where he looked like he could be a one and done. He still has a lot of eligibility left and plenty of room to continue to develop.

Agree and good news:

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Apr 01, 2021 02:37 PM

Jalen is coming back, it was just put out there through KU twitter channels.

Bobby Pettiford • Apr 01, 2021 02:27 PM

For anyone that goes to 247, we have Bobby's AAU coach on there posting nuggets.

@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

@BShark WOULD TAKE. But I don't think we do after taking Cam

In this scenario we have 6 guys leave early, and have 6 new additions. Don't believe it is set in stone.

The curious case of Christian Braun • Apr 01, 2021 01:07 PM

@BeddieKU23 Bill is selling the fact that KU has two starting guard spots open if anyone wants to draw conclusions from that.

Imagine nothing will be given next year. Bill is on a roll filling the roster.

The curious case of Christian Braun • Apr 01, 2021 11:57 AM

He got scouted and chased off the three point line. Felt like to get an okay look from three he had to be many feet behind the arc.

@Fightsongwriter said in So- with all these players coming and going, what is next years team gonna look like?:

@BShark Agreed. He was below the rim far too often. Maybe Ramsey can fix that.

This young man is in the portal and from KC.

@Fightsongwriter I think in this case Bill is welcoming the overhaul as well. Jalen is a real nice player, but athleticism/defense is a bit of an issue.

@Fightsongwriter said in So- with all these players coming and going, what is next years team gonna look like?:

@BShark Och not close to ready, Jalen gonna be BMOC.

I'm just the messenger here.

Could be a total overhaul. Don't rule out Ochai going pro and Jalen going...somewhere else.

@BShark Locke, Carr, Johnson all come to mind.

If we get one of the last two here it's all over man.

Bye Muscadin • Mar 31, 2021 11:07 PM

@FarmerJayhawk I like the sound of several high major guards as well.

Bye Muscadin • Mar 31, 2021 10:54 PM

@FarmerJayhawk said in Bye Muscadin:

From The Athletic story, "KU is also in talks with several high-major guards and a mid-major wing. The goal is to add athleticism and quickness."

Memphis is imploding. 3 guys leaving just today. Boogie, Jeffries, and Baugh. We were kinda on Jeffries and Baugh at various times.

Memphis fans were giving Slater shade calling him a troll for his Boogie to the portal prediction. Hate to see it.

@Kcmatt7 said in Cam Martin:

6'9 and can let it fly like that from 3. We've had worse... There would have absolutely been a role for him this season.

Frontcourt went from thin as single ply tissue paper to being as deep as the Grandy Canyon.

He should be replacing the worse that is currently still on the roster. Which also creates clarity going forward.

Cam Martin • Mar 31, 2021 07:30 PM

Yeah he was going to Texas. We have worse still officially on the roster right now lol.

2021 Transfer Talk/List • Mar 31, 2021 07:25 PM

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah, made a thread. Expecting Gethro and Jossell to announce this week btw.

Bill adding an end of the bench high character kid from Oklahoma.

Cole Swider in the portal. 6'9'' and 40% from three this year...

Woah! Yes please

Yeah, I think we should contact. We have other wings/forwards interested but Nova is a much higher level, so it can really be hard to determine.

@BeddieKU23 I don't even think it needs to be Aidoo to send Gethro off tbh. He couldn't get on the court at Sunrise. Maybe he gets better, hopefully it is at least under consideration.

2021 Recruiting • Mar 31, 2021 05:19 PM

@BeddieKU23 Yeah...we've got a lot of bigs but I wouldn't mind processing Gethro for someone else.

@Kcmatt7 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

@BeddieKU23 Wut? Are you saying he is going G-League or we're going after him?

Both. He mentioned KU was one of several schools recruiting the hardest. It's also expected he goes G-League which has been an option for him for a while

I'd be more concerned if we didn't already have guys on board. Doubt they would pass on anyone hoping to get him.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Looks like FSU is going to land Kadary Richmond, transfer from Syracuse. Big time get for them, this is kind of guard/wing that Self could use to replace Agbaji long term. 4th in the ACC in steals off the bench. Cuse was +125 with Richmond on the floor in 500+ minutes

Yeah, from the sound of it this one was done in advance. A lil bit of tampering.

Bobby Pettiford • Mar 31, 2021 03:42 PM

"Standing 6-foot-1, Pettiford possesses decent size to go with a set of long arms and has a lean, wiry frame, giving him capable physical tools for the lead guard position.

Athletically, he is quick and has plenty of bounce but his biggest strength here comes in his end to end speed. Pettiford is fast and couple that with his aggressiveness in the open court, he makes for a dynamic playmaker in transition.

Offensively, there are plenty of tools to work with and gives the point guard upside, starting with his quickness, speed and toughness. Pettiford is at his best in the half court, attacking downhill where he gets into the paint and can both finish at the rim with both hands and through contact or can stop on a dime and hit his teammates for open shots on the wings and corners."

Oh, okay.

The future Backcourt • Mar 31, 2021 01:42 PM

Creighton does happen to pay rather well. One of the big "mid major" players though I guess they are Big East now.
