I think Gradey is rather overrated. Would love to be wrong...

Mosley to Missouri. Talk about falling off hard for him.
Wow no words
In the end he didn't have a lot of real options. Mark Adams reached the same conclusions Self did.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Is Self ready for his next big shift in basketball approach?:
I really never saw a worse defender in college bb.
There are MANY. Now if you are talking about starters at the KU level then sure...
@Kcmatt7 said in Is Self ready for his next big shift in basketball approach?:
Bill wanted Matthew Hurt BAD.
Also, he let Marcus launch 76 threes his final season, Kief 59, Perry 64, and the most recent example of Dedric shot 89.
The evidence is there that Bill will let him shoot.
Dedric is probably his closest comp from a Bill Self big man imo. And he put up 19 and 10. So, I think he knows what to do with Zach.
NU Bill is here. Zach will thrive.
@justanotherfan At least I'm in good company on Bragg.
Bill is REALLY excited about McCullar.
Funny, I've been comparing McCullar to Garret on the 247 board since we offered.
Graham was one of my correct calls. When I watched his high school tape and saw the stats I was baffled that he wasn't a 5*.
@drgnslayr said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
I'm not really familiar with Mosley but liked his point totals and connection to Juan.
Subpar athlete basically. If he was even as athletic as Jalen/McCullar with his skill set he would have been at a P5 school and already in the league imo. Incredibly skilled and will be a nightmare for us if he ends up elsewhere in the league IMO.
@BeddieKU23 you are correct about Mosley. He was supposed to commit to MSU twice now and backed out. Texas Tech is still involved but strongly prefers Kerwin Walton. KSU is lurking, hoping.
@drgnslayr said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
I'm not 100% sure we are done. Might Self carve a space for Mosley?
KU hasn't been recruiting Mosley for weeks now. Self did not believe he was capable of playing defense at the level we require.
@justanotherfan in the post season interviews and talks Self basically said this. I know Remy was telling him wait for March and Self was probably doing raspberries internally. Ultimately he knew we needed Remy's scoring.
I thought Bragg was gonna be awesome, but then drugs got in the way.
@kuballin10 I am pro Sherron. Was just offering up what I figured the only detriment could be in the mind of detractors and as @approxinfinity stated, what I thought was correct for him.
Dave should have won MOP. Don't think it's really debatable.
@RockkChalkk Some people weigh in post season accolades more heavily. Maybe that's the factor for Sherron. He flamed out of the tournament twice when it was "his team".
I think he's a career great too, just guessing why others may feel that way.

JOE. Needs to take a big leap this offseason.
Agree. Next year will need scorers. As I believe @justanotherfan has pointed out before you are either wired to be a scorer or you aren't. Joe is wired that way. He will take shots and not care how many he has missed. We will need that. Especially if Jalen leaves.
@kuballin10 What's your handle on 247? Mine is Banana Shark of course.
@kuballin10 He has good physical tools. I'd take him.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
If it's me, I'm looking to add a guard. Courtney Ramey or Malachi Smith are two to really consider. Ramey is more a classic Self CG, while Smith is just a terrific all around player, and could replace a lot of Jalen's rebounding, with the added bonus of 41% from 3.
Gotta get a starter if Jalen goes, that I know.
@kuballin10 I'd prefer Brooks, but really depends who we add in this situation. McCullar definitely could if needed.
We certainly have options IF Jalen goes pro.
Hello
@rockchalkjayhawk Wouldn't worry too much about it.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2023 Recruiting:
@BShark Do you know what his wingspan is? I only ask because that thumbnail doesn't even look real.
Something absolutely freakish, but I don't know specifically sorry.
Ugonna Kingsley had been my top big man want. Don't think we could go wrong with either of these two if we take a big in the class.
New offer Dennis Evans
Cam Martin will enter BEAST MODE.
@Gorilla72 His first choice was Kansas. As Farmer noted it is interesting that he seems to be putting off the announcement... It was supposed to be today.

@wissox said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
Not sure if this is on another thread but Hunter goes to Texas
Looking more and more like McCullar, huh.
Whatever happened to that smaller school Missouri dude?
Headed to MS State it appears. I'm befuddled by the lack of announcement.
I mean, would you WANT to go to Starkville?

McCullar did announce for KU if you missed it. Self strongly preferred him over Mosley (said dude).
@BeddieKU23 said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
Not having a final roster and its almost June has to be exhausting. I can't see this being a sustainable thing every year.
June Bill is the new spring Bill.
@kuballin10 Rumor is 750k. We typically max at 500 for starters. Assuming Jalen is back the roster might just be set. Personally I would have sent Cam packing but I'm not in charge (thankfully lmao).
@Jethro said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
Juan/Tyrese/McCullar/JW/MJ/Gradey/Clemence. Best perimeter defense in the country.
Hunter is going to Texas. It's done.
@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU/Big 12 NBA draft decisions thread:
Today's quiz:
Who would you rather have on next year's roster...
Wilson or McCullar?
easy answer, but had to ask
Both. Thanks.
It was known.

Keion Brooks is withdrawing from the draft and transferring
If Jalen had a change of heart at the combine I wouldn't hate KU getting involved.
Funny he said going back to school was unlikely, didn't even want to talk schools involved and days later 360!
Undraftable and college beats Europe tbh. That's why we are seeing guys just take the extra college year.

Now that KUSports.com is unusable and the worst sports website on the internet, where else are you going for KU news? How can the operators of that website be so incompetent?
I haven't been there in awhile what happened??!
@AsadZ said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
@BShark Potential casualty, Cuffe or Yesufu.
I am pretty sure we won't ask Cuffe to leave. We had him reclass then redshirt, and were on thin ice previously with his AAU (he is the first player we got from them since Cheick). We are seemingly tentatively not having that door shut (recruiting another couple guys from there again and not being turned away) and don't want it slammed shut. So if Cuffe left after this year it would have been his decision I think.
Joe would make a lot of sense. Don't think you even have to force him out by any means. It's like, well Juan is starting at the 1, transfer is now coming in starting at the 2. Primary back-up small guard is Bob with Rice and Gradey chomping at the bit for minutes too and well, it's a tough squeeze.
@rockchalkjayhawk stats posted here
@FarmerJayhawk Might have burned bridges there last I heard. What I do know is if Self wants to fill a spot he's gonna do it. Definitely something to monitor.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Reasons to believe in next year’s team:
I think there’s a decent chance we’re not done in the portal. I know they’d make a spot for Hunter if he wanted to commit.
Bill wants a starting 2guard.
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Strong Early Contender For Most Frequently Misspelled Name:
I saw a lot of David McCormick
Frankcamp, Obaji etc
Honestly Ochai had a bunch of different ways his last name was spelled wrong. Went with really iconic ones for the OP lol.
Also I know someone here just did it but I'm not trying to crap on anyone in particular here. I see "McCullers" all over the 247 board (probably the biggest KU board there is) and twitter.
