The Top recruit in 24 Naasir Cunningham will skip College and sign with Overtime Elite
Recent 23 offer Andrej Stojakovic didn't mention KU as a school he intends to visit. Bummed there
Cooper looks big time. Hopefully we get into that.
Duke lands Harvard forward Kale Catchings.
Bryce Hopkins lands at Providence. They have signed a lot in the portal.
Arkansas St transfer Norchad Omier lands at Miami. Had a lot of interest.
Former friend De'vion Harman in the portal again. Former OU/Oregon player.

@BeddieKU23 Kansas City Jayhawks🤬
The next person I'm sure will be spineless and heartless
Emmert stepping down June 23.

Slater says we reached out to Baylor
Thought all he tweeted was he didn't like Wisconsin's chances (hilarious A+ tweet). Believe Kentucky is the favorite.
Below it was a list of schools that had reached out including KU. Found the Wisconsin post funny.

@BShark said in KU/Big 12 NBA draft decisions thread:
I'm a pretty firm believer that NIL is just putting a public face on this stuff. Not sure on Oscar, he genuinely seems to love it at UK and isn't draftable.
Also I think what it also does it change the narrative that this stuff is illegal when its not. For generations we were led to believe that kids getting paid was OMG illegal. It's happened for so long but now its in the open and kids can finally capitalize. Of course that doesn't come with its share of growing pains or control that should perhaps be in place.
Also due to Supreme Court rulings the NCAA is handicapped in what they can police from this NIL stuff. Perhaps some regulation comes to even the field but right now its gorilla warfare out there. Kids are mostly benefitting from their new opportunities.
I think the transfer rule should stay but there needs to be a "transfer window" created to control when they can enter and what time period to select a new school. Shouldn't be a 12 month job for coaches imo to recruit their own and recruit others
It's worse in Football. Tennessee QB will reportedly get up to 8 million in NIL when he hits campus. What's the price Arch Manning is going to command? The Top 22 recruit reportedly got 1.5 million from Barstool for a documentary.
The NCAA needs to get out of the game and let the big conferences form their own rules and regs
Transfer portal approaching 1500.
Weekend roundup.
Former 5 star PF Brandon Huntley-Hatfield committed to Louisville. Played as a freshman at Tennessee.
Former 4 star PG Corey Floyd committed to Providence. Spent the year practicing at UConn.
Former West Virginia starter Sean McNeil is headed to Ohio St
Transfer PG Tyreke Key headed to Tennessee. Texas Tech among others was hot on his trail.
Ohio PF transfer Ben Vander Pas headed to Virginia. Iowa St really wanted him
Caleb Lohner from BYU transferring to Baylor
Nigel Pack gets an 800k NIL deal to play at Miami.
Mindset of a future NBA champion imo
Yup Key, Tech really wanted him. Barnes still has Zeigler the little freshman guard that played a ton & while Vescovi is testing I can't imagine he'll get drafted.
Tennessee just landed a transfer PG & UVA has Clark returning with Beekeman. Not sure I see why he'd look at them
Hes planning his next promotion for the Kentucky Derby. He will bet 3 million on the race favorite. Did it last yr and didn't win but it caused a big stir
I hope it doesn't happen by the way

Guys like CB and JWil need to get NBA feedback... this is a must! Realistically... they both should realize how much they improved this past 12 months, think about how much they can improve in the next 12 months, and make a decision. From my perspective, they should both return and use Och as the example of why it pays to have patience and continue to work hard.
Wilson already has his NBA feed back so he probably knew
It's a no brainer to get updated feed post championship.
No Mitch mention? He gets the award for playing at KU longer then Perry Ellis did
Didn't realize Ochai also got snubbed from the Jerry West Award given to the Top Shooting Guard. Hard to even believe as he was a 1st TEAM ALL AMERICAN
Eric Hunter Jr in the portal from Purdue. Decent guard, good defender. lots of starting experience

Dillon Hunter has decommitted from Baylor, dropped big time in the rankings over the last year.
Landed at Clemson real quick
Rice can shoot from the perimeter, think he'll be a low to mid 30's guy. He improved his shot this year as well as slimming down.
Chalmers was an expert thief
Jalen is having a 5pm Twitter Spaces today. Announcement? @BShark
Wow. Shut down that place.
I get the natives are getting restless with recent Calamari results but literally 100 headlines I've seen since last fall about Sharpe going to Kentucky early and then going Pro. And he did exactly what he said he was going to do.. Hard to get mad about a player who never even put on the Jersey but I guess that's what they do
Wow that's the single worst fanbase. Sharpe was expected to do this the entire time.
Good spot for him at Zaga. They lost both bigs
Coveted big Utah Valley transfer Fardaws Aimaq down to 5 schools including Texas & Texas Tech. Gonzaga, Iowa & Washington the other 3.
Nembhard leaving Gonzaga. They losing a lot & haven't signed squat in HS or transfer portal so far
Shaedon Sharpe who was the #1 recruit in the 22 class, enrolled at Kentucky for the Spring Semester and will now enter the Draft and stay in.
Good grief
Ugh Timmy Allen returning to Texas
K-St lands Mississippi St transfer PG Camryn Carter
Nova already hired Wright's replacement so sounds like this was in the works.. There may not be attrition since the new coach was his former assistant
Imagine if Wright had beaten us in the Final 4 again and then retired. I'd loath him forever but since we handed him his last L the world is good! Enjoy retirement Jay.
Looked it in the recent games. Definitely will play there
Whitmore might be a top 5 player in this class. Very impressed with his skill and athletic ability.
Wow I can't believe it. Jay was my pick to replace Self if we ever had the opening. Mad respect for him
But unless he comes without daddy its a hard fit
The last short arm guy did well here
Good for him missing the tournament again
