Adrame Diongue announcing today. Has Kansas and Kentucky in his top 5 but neither would take his commitment and I don't think Kentucky even offered lol.
Washington State or UNLV realistically.
Okay, Jeff. Sure. I find this line-up projection very hard to believe.
@BeddieKU23 said in Next Year's Team Thread:
Really good rebounder as well. I love what he could be here in a few years.
Zuby is an insane rebounder. Zach showed great promise there as well. The glass will certainly be secured.
Been watching a lot of Ernest Udeh and if this kid gets the system down he should get real minutes. Getting the system down is no small task but his body is P5 ready. Again not any real skill to speak of but like Udoka you surround him with 4 guards/wings and let him rebound/dunk/block. Seals/screens very well, and has really good/strong hands.

@approxinfinity he doesn't seem to care and maybe as young and innocent as they are. Wish we could've heard a lil more of the set up. Seemed kinda weird.
Won't post details publicly but there are a lot of reasons why everyone thought Cuffe would leave.
@FarmerJayhawk yeah rofl. Good for his agent, used KU and UK to squeeze the Jays for more $$$.
@approxinfinity I still think Cuffe is a candidate to leave if we need room.
When everything you've heard about a player vibes with what happens here...

@FarmerJayhawk I've got good news about Mosley. Wonder if we have room for Mosley and McCullar or we are dead set on a small guard? Think we whiff on Hunter to the Ville.
As of now we only have one spot, so might just be Mosley. But still over a month to sort out.
Yeah I feel like if we need the spot, maybe Cam just quietly retires or something.

Of all the names mentioned so far, Mosley seems like the best fit for our needs (imo).
I can't say i love the look of his jumper from 3, but if it goes in, OK!
Over 40%, as the main guy on a lot of bad step back looks. In our system as a spot up guy...SHEESH.

@BShark And when does Self ever really need more than 13? He said he asked a BUNCH of guys to red shirt last season because he knew outside of the top 8-9 minutes would be few and far between and those guys would be scout team players anyway. Only Cam and Cuffe took him up on it. He did ALSO say he'd never ask someone to redshirt unless he thought they could help the program down the line because that would just be a waste of everybody's time. And why keep a guy around that isn't good enough to help.
Yeah. We really played 7 guys last year, with other guys getting in when games were decided, or there were injuries etc.
So you really only need around 9-10.
It's messy because the scholarship does take care of a lot but it could be done in a crazy situation where you want to have more than 13 guys. Personally I don't see it being a common thing.
@Kcmatt7 said in Chiefs signings:
@BShark Definition of low risk - high reward
It's a grand slam if he is healthy yeah.
@benshawks08 I was thinking the same.
Bill is running lead on Mosley himself. And of course we have an incredible recruiter in his best friend Dajuan Harris.
@JAYHAWKFAN214 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Ku has offer guard boogie fland pre his coach
Same AAU as Cuffe.
Wow that might be my most subtle work yet ngl.
@RockkChalkk rhymes with smalen smilson
@benshawks08 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
@BShark You think we are on the Mosely or bust train?
I think we want a wing type to slot in for CB. Then if we can pull Hunter, someone finds their way into the portal.
@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Baylor can shoot but what else would he do here that we expect from Self kids? Didn't look like a fit when you put the film on
Suddenly our interest became very low, when a certain player informed the staff he would return.
@NormRoberts said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
So no Baylor for us 😂 He put Duke in his Final 5 before us. Pains me that we continually lose recruiting battles to DOOK
This is not a loss. Kentucky and KU both said NO THANKS. After contacting him via phone, neither of those staffs opted to visit him in home.
Don't think he is good enough to play at Duke, should be Creighton.
@RockkChalkk said in Next Year's Team Thread:
So with all of this NIL money playing a factor, could we potentially see some players not take the "scholarship money" and open up that 13 cap a little bit to where someone like Cuffe could stay and develop if he really wants to and not get booted out. We've had it in the past where someone that is well off can pay their own way and allows someone else to take the scholarship. Just an outside the box thought as to how everyone that wants to be back can still come back.
Pretty sure NCAA rules don't allow this but I ask resident expert @FarmerJayhawk to weigh in.
@Kcmatt7 said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Is it bad I don’t want McCullar? Like as a bench piece sure. But as a starter? Yuck
Nothing to worry about.
@JAYHAWKFAN214 Okay. Yeah same. I know we are also pretty interested in some other wings in the portal. Will be interesting to see who we get.

Spoiler one of them is Kansas.
It will be GU
I think so too, but do you have information about it?

CUFFE IS STAYING THIS IS ACTUALLY INCREDIBLY SHOCKING DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK
interesting. Self must like him, or he's not getting any transfers to bite?
Shay jumped the gun reporting this. No one responsible is reporting it. I should have known better. Also Swain (a responsible reporter) tweeted this while on vacation: 🐦 View Tweet
@madmax said in Next Year's Team Thread:
@BShark Maybe a bit overly optimistic with my projections, but he passes the eye test in my book.
I hope he develops. I think it will be hard to find minutes for him next year but once Jalen is gone...
Shay might be full of shit on this. HOT SITCH DEVELOPING.
CB is one, so you only need one more. :leaf_fluttering_in_wind: :magnifying_glass_tilted_left: with Cuffe returning I think only makes sense if another guard is leaving, Joe was rumored on the fence too so maybe that is the way this one split.
Cam does count, but he is not good at basketball at all. There are also...rumors in regards to him at practice. Bill has softened a lot but keeping Cam would be...something!
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Next Year's Team Thread:
4 guys coming in.
Think we get 2 incoming transfers as well.
Juan/Hunter/MJ/Jalen/Zach
Very possible starting line-up next year. Maybe Gradey slots in ahead of MJ.
@Crimsonorblue22 pretty sure yeah. Think he will be drafted in the top 20.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Next Year's Team Thread:
@BShark but playing time? So Dave's spot is the only thing for sure open?
Ochai and CB are leaving. Those spots are open.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Next Year's Team Thread:
If somebody is coming back, and it's the least likely, there could be 2?
Think there is a very real chance everyone but CB is back. Add Hunter call it good.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Next Year's Team Thread:
Nobody wants to leave this place!
Our NIL is STRONG.

Haven't had any other jam for going on 4-5 years now. The salsa is good too.
@madmax I would be stunned by that stat line. Absolutely stunned.

@BShark said in 2022 Transfer Portal Thread:
Imagine getting Scheierman and Mosley. Would be pretty fun tbh.
Lol seriously if they land both this team can absolutely shoot it’s brains out.
Might give 17-18 a Tun for their money as best shooting KU team of all-time.
I think this is a lot less likely now fwiw. Ironically made that post right before hearing someone was locked in to coming back from an extremely trustworthy source.
@Kcmatt7 Another year to develop this while coming off the bench is ideal.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I think the bigger role is a real factor for Creighton here. Will be interesting. I think he decides within the next 7-10 days.
Kentucky guy can whine all he wants, part of this is playing close to home for Baylor.
