Interesting how Beard wormed his way in that one after Tchewa left

@BShark think the Baylor guards will stay in?
Butler would be crazy to come back. Teague should be back

@BeddieKU23 did you read his q and A? So weird
I can't put myself to lose brain cells over it
Oh Bruce lost another to the portal. Levi Stockard is leaving. Bruce down to 4 guys who even played last season.
I'm not underestimating Mitch at all. I think he'll be in the rotation for minutes behind Dave or a 4 man if needed. That could happen due to game flow, injury, opponent. Mitch will play I'm not doubting that. He's a good option to have. I do think he'll play most of his minutes at the 5 though.
There are 8 perimeter players fighting for spots so I'm not understanding your view here. Marcus- Dajuan at PG, Braun & Thompson as secondary guard options, Agbaji, Enaruna & Grant-Foster at the wing which makes 7. Expect Jossell to red-shirt. I do think Braun and Grant-Foster are the type of guards that end up the 4 in a 4 guard lineup. Braun has already played the position this past season and Grant-Foster's skill set would make him an ideal candidate as well. Wilson is the 8th wing/'4'man. 8 guys for 4 spots, that's a lot of competition and mouths to feed
Self has hinted he'll likely stick with the 4 guard lineup. I also believe that's how he gets his best 5 of the floor. He has a lot of mouths to feed on the perimeter. Garrett, Ochai, Braun are locked in already to starter's minutes. Enaruna is back and Harris is eligible, then you add in Thompson. Grant-Foster could be a wing or the ideal 4 at his size/athletic ability. I see Grant-Foster & Braun playing primarily at the 4 position next season. There's a lot of flexibility for Self here and he has tremendous size on the perimeter once again. Then you have Wilson. I have no idea what Self will do with him or how much he'll play. The 4 guard lineup looks like its here to stay!
Interesting take. I think the biggest drop off is Doke to Dave. It's not a slight on Dave at all he's just not a 7 foot athletic freak with a freakish wingspan who shoots 74% from the field. They are different players. Dave is capable of being a double/double guy (as Self has said recently) because Self loves to have a dominant post player in his scheme. Landen Lucas was a 8 & 8 guy, Doke was a 13 & 10 guy. Dave is better offensively then Landen but his defense needs work so somewhere between the two seems likely.
Dotson is a big loss but we saw the emergence of Garrett at PG all of last season. His driving ability is his best offense. He's a better facilitator then Devon. I think all of Jayhawk Nation should be pumped to see what Sr version of Marcus we get. It's usually worked out well in the Self Era with a Sr PG running the show.
Bigger athletic guys have bothered Mitch. Some of that attributed to his slight frame when he arrived. He has worked hard to gain good weight and muscle.
VCU big man and leading scorer Marcus Santos Silva is transferring. Should be a hot commodity. The 6'7 bruiser averaged 12.8 ppg and 8 boards a game. Good player hitting the market
Rivals had an article 2 weeks ago about Zach and KU. Since Shay wrote it I would gather he doesn't have anything ground breaking to report there but its behind the Rivals paywall..
To kind of recap with him. KU was there when he won MVP at Hoophall in January. We were also one of the first schools to reach out as was most of the Big-12. He was at Late Night this past year.
Ohio St recently offered and he's on their board now. They are also recruiting Kendall Brown his teammate as well.
@jayballer73 said in 2021 Recruiting:
may have missed this but just curious. Do we have any interest in this kid or not, don't remember much being said. - -Zach Clemence out of Sunrise in Wichita, 6'9 I think got him ranked as 34th, anybody got anything or is this a BIG nobody from us with no interest what so ever. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
As far as I know KU has major interest.

Very good Shooter. No worries there. Will be 1st/2nd best on the team
Are you basing this solely on videos, belief, or is there empirical evidence that backs up your position? His AAU numbers from last summer suggest Bryce isn't good from deep yet.
I'm certainly not going to let AAU numbers from 2 years ago form my opinion either
The thing I hope Mitch has improved during his time is confidence. Usually that comes with players in year 5 under Self. We'll see what Mitch is made of
Kyree Walker finally going pro. LOL

Worth keeping tabs on if something weird happens. https://247sports.com/Player/Frank-Anselem-46055566/ ↗
Hopefully it doesn't come to that. Pass city
Absolutely
I would not trade Braun for Hurt. Braun is a better defender and shooter at this stage and his toughness is something I would take over Hurt anyday.
I was really hoping there was an announcement video.
However that was a fun read and fitting for this
Frank had a 2 way contract. Havent easily found his salary for this yr. I see he has a 1.5 million cap hit for next season with the bucks.
Yeah found it surprising there was an announcement but also agree we have lost guys in the past for less. He will finish 2 more years here and I'm excited to see what he does for us being the man in the post
Joining Ochai and Marcus G, Big Davey BUCKETS returning for his Jr season.
@Woodrow said in 2020 Recruiting:
Top ranked recruit going the G-League route and skipping college. His deal is worth a minimum of $500,000! plus he can get endorsements.
Good for him. Jalen and others like him should have this opportunity.
Chaundee really underachieved under Danny
Which if he can get a good 2nd round deal it makes going worth it.
Stud
He's an early to mid 2nd round pick.
Can't say I was interested in him viewing film either
Jalen Suggs going as well would hurt Gonzaga a good deal
@FarmerJayhawk said in Other bball news:
Decent chance UK signee Terrence Clarke goes G League. Would be a brutal hit.
Big time talent
As much as becoming a better shooter
is important for him I think the label " better player" fits what he needs to become. Defensively he is a stud. But his ball handling, passing and decision making can all take a leap. He is a great athlete and is a great team player. I hope he can step up even further this upcoming season to lead with Marcus
Dodged a bullet there
Good that he isn't even testing the waters. Have a feeling we get 4 yrs from him. He is far away from a finished product offensively. 2 more years of taking on a bigger role and being a leader is going to help
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Recruiting:
Thor going to Aubs opened up a scholarship at OSU, which Donovan Williams took. Lol Bruce
Didn't realize they were full up. Could have sworn they had 3-4 spots open
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Transfer List:
Justin Turner went back to BGSU. Awk.
Better then methzou
OU lost Jamal Bieniemy. Had a really subpar soph season
Big movement on the trail today
Grad transfer Charles Minlend from San Francisco ends up at Louisville. Watched him play against Gonzaga in the WCC tourney and he is a baller.
Jamarious Burton transferred from Wichita to Texas Tech.
UNLV transfer Amari Hardy ends up at Oregon. Kid was instrumental when they beat San Diego St.
Oklahoma picked up North Texas Texas transfer Umoja Gibson
You will always be a hawk Devon. You exceeded even my most optimistic dreams when he signed. Truly one of the best guards Self has had. I really wish we had 2 more years he would be even more of a legend.
Thanks for the memories
Funny money at auburn
I get your point. Different times today. I absolutely want Wilson here as I was a big fan of his in HS. Its just difficult to see where he plays a lot and subsequently doesnt get discouraged from it
I still think immediate transfer will shake something from the current roster. If your Wilson how are you cracking the top 10 in the rotation? Just thoughts
Davion Mintz from Creighton to Kentucky. Sat out last season
Jordan Bruner to Alabama. Lol
Portal past 700 now. Crazy
Nothing lost by offering. Have no idea what bigs we are getting in 21 just know we need multiple guys
High 4-Star Freshman Alonzo Gaffney PF is transferring from Ohio St. That makes both Top 30 kids leaving Ohio St after one year. Weird. Barely played for them
Yes he was from out west. You know how it is, Kentucky recruited over him
Lots of movement today
Jeriah Horne picked Colorado
Johnny Juzang left Kentucky for UCLA. Must sit
Bryce Aiken picked Seton Hall
I reckon this one will have a direct impact on KU's. Involves Gassnola and booster status.
