PJ Haggerty waiting room
The one I’m waiting for as well. He’s going to ask for a silly amount of cash
I heard some good things today.

Lamar Wilkerson- eyes on..
This is real right now, will have to see where it goes.
Zach Clemence is in the portal officially.

Reed Bailey. @BeddieKU23 to the courtesy phone LOL
Ehhh. Obviously can score and some nice skill but wouldn't take as a starter.
Mostly the ping because he was a Brewster kid I think so your friend might have some thoughts on him if he coached him.
@FarmerJayhawk said in The portal.:
He puts up numbers I’ll give him that
Been told there is already mutual interest, will have to see how far it goes...

@FarmerJayhawk said in Staff changes for 2025-2026:
The GM wouldn’t be a scouting/roster building role. It would be more managing NIL and fundraising
Which is a good thing, because it takes some stuff off of Bill's plate. I know you aren't saying it negatively but some people are going to be disappointed by it.
Sounds like academics are reaaaally important to him. So that could be an issue for us.
@Kcmatt7 said in The portal.:
Oh my. Okereke would fit so well in a Bill Self offense too
Just got a KU offer already. Woohoo.
@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:
@BShark said in The portal.:
AK Okereke is another of interest
Meant to mention him too, film was rather fun
Just absolutely bullies guys. Insanely efficient on offense.
@approxinfinity said in The portal.:
@BShark sure, Perry immediately came to mind but i would need to see how versatile and creative he is. Perry was very crafty despite being landlocked.
Was thinking Jalen Wilson
AK Okereke is another of interest
@approxinfinity said in The portal.:
@SlimShaddy54 i see a large guard who isnt a high flier, and doesnt have a fast first step. He can handle and doesnt shy away from contact. Not sure if he can finish through contact against athletes. Dont know about his shot. As long as he puts in the work consistently he can fit. Whether he can shoot well or not would determine how much PT
Should remind you of someone who was here 4 years and ended up an all American.
Rataj is another one to take seriously.

KU working to get Dix in for a visit this weekend
Expected to happen at this point. Great sign if it does obviously.
@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:
Adrian Wooley, freshman from Kennesaw St. Major want..
He's from Tuscaloosa Alabama, unfortunately.

@BShark said in The portal.:
Sounds like Creighton is out for Dix. KU vs return to Iowa, per the immaculate Trilly.
Well that's promising
It's been triple confirmed now, Bill is visiting him personally tonight.

@BeddieKU23 said in The portal.:
Lajae Jones is another potential prospect, transfer from St Bonaventure.
KU if we pursue
Yep great shooter but more than just a shooter. Can put it on the floor a bit, really good passer, doesn't turn it over. Did all this at the P4 level already too.
Kentucky thinks they will get anyone
Josh Dix situation is ramping up. All the KU writers saying he is a major target.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Self Rumor:
We heard u a million times! Bow out!
Broken record, not worth engaging
@Crimsonorblue22 Blowout this time, Prolific won of course. Darryn was awesome.
https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/christoph-tilly-1.html ↗ Another to monitor for the back-up 5 spot
Rylan is at the game today. Had a convo with Self at half time.
lol
@dylans said in Self Rumor:
@BShark Noah Shelby should never play a meaningful minute for Kansas judging by his career so far. KU needs practices players too.
I’m curious how the roster will be filled out. The starting 5 doesn’t appear to be signed yet.
Yes I agree. No issue keeping him around for that reason.

@BShark said in The portal.:
It's early.
Also I continue to monitor Keyshawn Hall and PJ Haggerty. The price on Haggerty might be too stiff however.
Both are needed but can we afford..
Yeah you have to quickly weigh what he offers for the cost vs other options and their cost. It's tricky.

Or we are in deep shit, but I'd imagine no.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Self Rumor:
Saw a pic of some KU players there, flory, cross, Shelby and Elmarko. Somebody said zeke was there. Saw a post game interview, their young coach had so many positive things to say about DP! One reporter asked him who was he excited to play with and he said Flory. Was very impressed!
Yeah Zeke was there, away from the other players. Some former players showed up too, pretty sure I saw Tyshawn.
Bill got a great round of applause, not many kuballin10s in the crowd I imagine.
Prolific did win, DP was really good overall. You can tell he has such a great feel for the game.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Self Rumor:
Hope we show out for him! Keep up posted, please
It's a great crowd considering it's spring break
Bill is here at Haskell watching Darryn Peterson
@CasterTroy said in Self Rumor:
Apparently this is where it came from,
The cofounder of Rivals, 247 and On3…Bobby Burton started another site called On Texas Football. It was posted on there by former national recruiting expert for 247 & On3 Gerry Hamilton who now works at OTF.
Yeah I've seen the posts from Gerry and basically all he said is Texas contacted Self's agent. He has also mentioned other candidates etc
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Self Rumor:
A lot of KU fans wanted Coach fired.
Idiots! And thankfully it won't happen...
I would be beyond shocked if this happened. I'd bet money on Sean Miller or Tommy Lloyd getting that job.
Insane title
Opens Monday officially.
I'll be honest, I don't want to watch them play again at this point. Just get it over with.
We wouldn't even look at Mgbako I bet.
Now Bryce Hopkins, that's a JAYHAWK (I pray and beg)
I think some people are going to be really disappointed by what we go after at the 4 spot if what I've heard is true.
I'd be pleasantly surprised if we don't contact him..
Malik Reneau
@Kcmatt7 Moore shouldn't be able to but at this point...apply anyway and get grumpy with the NCAA.

Valpo freshman All Wright, yes that's his name. Very talented kid. I would definitely go after him
Keep a close eye on the other Valpo transfer Cooper Schwieger. From Overland Park and Bill wants to add a lot of bigs.
Stretch bigs right? Like guys for rebounding and shooting at least. We aren't trying to add another footer to go next to Flory/Tiller right?
I've heard Bill wants to add 3 bigs do with this information what you will. That would mean 5 on the roster.
Sounds like actual bigs too, like not focused on big guards at that spot. Bill on his shit.
Welp. Okay.
I know ...
Couldn't believe it when I heard. The other stuff I heard was good. Interested to see the final roster.
