Yep I posted in a thread about it. I think a thread about Garrett but maybe it was here. Good stuff.

Well you can add another player to the list. -- not only Porter leaving Washington but - -- Noah Dickerson is looking to transfer and explore possibilities - - -Going to be a very interesting spring - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Would take.
Smells like a coach leaving for another job perhaps.
Interesting post from BHam if you didn't see it. Mentioned that more than anything Self/KU doesn't want to deal with Waters' dad.
Duke insiders have moved Bolden's chance to stay to 1% within the last few hours LOL.
I have no malice for Roy, but it would be pretty great if there were no ACC teams in the FF.
To be fair if Cheick's circle wasn't so dead set on him being OAD, we probably would have seen him be a solid player for KU.
Cheick was totally lost. That's on him and the coaches. Agree though with these OAD players, you mostly have to hope you get the right one. With the way Self is, those oads really need to have high bbiq. Self is loathe to play a raw player that makes lots of mistakes, but that's what a good chunk of OADs are now. Kids don't really stay in school to develop anymore.

Somehow we always come back to Garrett and I smile. Will be giddy if we get at least 3 years with that stud
I think there aren't a lot of scenarios where he only stays two years but certainly they exist. If he shows he can run the point in year two well that is certainly tempting for NBA scouts with his size.
Georgetown isn't even relevant anymore sad to say for them. Of course one great hire changes that instantly.
The more I read from Young's circle the more I was like meh.. I wish Young nothing but the best at OU and KU will be fine.
Give me hard workers like Garrett any time.
Not sure how Collins gets put on Self/the staff. Dude ate his way out of the league and was short. And I loved Collins but it is what it is.
Cliff wasn't as much of a disaster as Cheick imo. The staff deserved a little flack for Cheick. Despite Embiid the negative impact of the Cheick situation will continue to be felt. Bragg isn't helping either. Hopefully Bragg turns it around and Doke/Preston both work out.

I was shocked Jeter was that highly rated coming out of HS. But we also have to remember some kids are rated high on what they think the level they can get to in the future. Obviously it seems a lot of evals missed the mark on him to this point.
I remember not being super excited when KU offered.
Yeah I mean we still heard about friggin Selby in the Young recruitment from the Youngs.
When I saw Jeter play he wasn't good though. Not sure if he ends up being much more than Landen Lucas at this point. Of course things can change and obviously there were some things there that made him get ranked that highly.
And to be clear he has to improve to get to Landen levels. Probably won't do all the little things Landen does either.
This is why coaches should trust their own evals and not blindly follow what the ranking services say. Different sport but this was a huge issue for Mack Brown at the end of his Texas tenure.
Also, when Duke basically just takes nothing but 4/5 stars, well some aren't going to play...
Not sure what Bragg offers tonight. He got abused by Ward and Purdue has bulky bigs as well.
I moreso meant the national narrative as well as recruiting vibes. It just seems that everything bounces off K and Cal.
Bolden should honestly stay. Who does Duke have to play ahead of him? Presumably he would start with Carter.
I like how there isn't a narrative when K or Cal have a 5 star player transfer. But when one doesn't work out for KU, it's all gloom and doom crap.
Kennard is better than Allen, IMO.
With all the bullcrap drama he might as well come back and enter a weaker draft.
Hopefully Bragg is drinking from the same crazy. Bragg is frustrating but if he is the 3rd/4th big next year that's fine.
That image was ripped from a premium article so probably a good idea to not repost it to the phog or somewhere with high visibility. Guess I could have typed out the percentages, but w/e.
Like he certainly isn't going to a GOOD Pac team and getting 30 minutes a night.
He says that, but I'd still possibly bet Nevada is in play.
Oh and this is from the Duke 247 site...before Jeter announced of course.
@BeddieKU23 said:
JT3 is out at Georgetown. :astonished:
SHOCKER. Lol.
Jeter officially announced he will be transferring today. I'd be shocked if it was KU.
Oh I see Jayballer mentioned it. @jayballer54 when kids go to Duke, UK or KU they know what they are signing up for. Be great or you don't play.
Seem like decent people.
Some good insight into how society tries to favour some groups of people. Really it's ridiculous that people tried to bully her into passing Mason.
Was thinking about just posting this in one of the Purdue threads, but ultimately decided to make a thread for it.
Credit a poster on the Phog. KU is 1-3 this year in games where the opponent shoots 20 or more threes at a 40%+ clip. The one win was at Rupp, oddly enough.
Why is this relevant? Purdue shoots just over 40% on ~22 attempts per game.
Maybe KU will win a title with Landen "not good enough" Lucas. :grinning:
Fact is KU will likely need at least another guard. If it's not Duval it's not going to be a flashy signing regardless.
It's already done for Missouri. Everything else is just noise/manufactured drama.
Man, BHam is just adamant that Harris sucks. Lol.
Aljami Durham is reopening his recruitment. 6'4'' CG. Crean got him to commit his JR year of HS. A bit low ranked but a solid athlete. Could be another solid Crean ditr... No idea if KU will be interested.
I believe their 6'10'' PF will be opening it back up as well but he is less interesting imo.
Really just don't reply to someone that starts making it personal.
I'm sure he does being from NC. I'd rather have Duval. Seems like Harris might not wait for Duval to decide but if that's the case, he isn't ending up at Duke lol.
MS saying KU WILL look at Blake Harris if Duval does not pick KU.
@BeddieKU23 said:
Will be interesting to see if he sticks if Alford goes to Indiana. There could be some movement in that class that could be of interest.. Spring is going to be fun
His mom still works at UCLA. I think he is probably there no matter what.
@BeddieKU23 said:
Walker is good, kind of in the mold of a Wayne Selden. I don't think he's leaving the South, I think Georgia Tech & FSU have him in their sights.
Riley, another talented player but we have Preston who has a much bigger ceiling and is a better player. Riley is going to be a heck of a College Player though. His size makes him unattractive to the NBA unless he adds more of a perimeter game to his arsenal.
Supposedly his coach is very tight with Huggy. Of course, WVU doesn't have scholarships available...
Friggin Pastner.
@dylans said:
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, he's probably going to FSU, but I've heard that before...we shall see.
Doke was an FSU lock. :grinning:
@dylans said:
@BeddieKU23 If Steve goes to Indiana, what would he do without his Balls?
Probably throw a party.
Momma won Riley's recruitment.
Beat Purdue and worry about the rest later. It doesn't matter if you can't beat Purdue.
It had claimed he was down to WVU and KU. Which was out of nowhere and kind of odd.
MJ Walker's profile has been reverted lol.
More draft declarations.
Markelle Fultz (duh)
Jarrett Allen (no agent)
Omer Yurtseven (no agent)

that's great.. hasn't this been the mood for many months now, at least we are still playing basketball games
NC, then Duval. GO GET IT BILL.
@BeddieKU23 said:
Juwan Evans went pro for Oklahoma St (Not surprisingly)
Yeah, Lydon for Cuse also going.
@BeddieKU23 said:
yeah, you already know how much I feel Ryan misses the point on kids. If they are not elite talents in the Top 50 he's saying they suck. He's a top 100ish talent, crazy
Ideally Blake at KU is the backup getting experience for the future.
He basically called him a mix tape warrior but then you watch a full game and he has 6 points. Said that UW didn't really care. Pretty harsh stuff. I think he'd be fine at KU.
Don't remember who the people were, but I remember a few posters in the past saying that BIFM was nothing more than a back-up PG. I'll trust this staff's development and evaluations over random posters.
Good news, Ryan/Bham thinks Harris sucks.
Yes, his initials are AFH. :grinning:

“Yeah, my boy Frank is not going for none of that,” junior guard Devonte’ Graham later said. “He’s not intimidated by anybody. He think he can guard LeBron, so nobody’s going to intimidate him.”
According to 538, KU is currently the most likely team to make the final four at 53%. Found that interesting. Gonzaga 46%, UK 40%. Unsurprisingly, Florida is the lowest percentage of the favourite in any region at 34%.
CBS = North Korea confirmed.
He's a JUCO so he has two years of eligibility left starting next year.
And yeah as for Juiston...Self saw a practice, which prompted wanting to see him in game action. The offer followed immediately after that.
When I first read about Self going to one of his practices I checked out a lot of video (you can watch Hutch CC games online for free) and was hoping KU would offer.
No one knows, there has been no further clarification anywhere. Very odd!
When I look at next year's line-up I see Preston and Doke as the starters. Quite possible that Coleby is the first big off the bench.
Exactly, what Beddie and I are saying pretty much is that it's no big deal if he goes to TCU. I'd rather have Juiston than Jeter or Bolden. No joke! High BBIQ players do pretty damn well under Self.
It's getting national coverage, it's almost impossible not to have heard about it.
