Truly shocking turn of events there
Guess he wants to play "on the ball"
Yeah his film is intriguing
in-person visit, no. communication, there's always ways even if there wasn't
Dead period coming for visits
Arkansas highly ranked freshman big Baye Fall in. Only played in 9 games. Former McDonald's All-American
Khalif Battle of Arkansas back in. Avg 14ppg this year..
Michigan's Terrance Williams, 6'7 wing in. Avg 12ppg on 39% from 3. Can shoot it and will be 5th year Sr...
Portal Madness at nearly 1400 entrants
Some familiar bigs in
Jamille Reynolds of Cincinnati- was a problem for us in the Big-12 tournament.
Yohan Traore, 14 and 5
Others...
Great Osobor of Utah St, avg 18ppg and 9 boards
Cameron Corhen of FSU, avg 9 and 3
Tyler Biloudeau of Oregon St, avg 14 and 5
Diante Smith of Nicholls St, avg 16 and 6
Basheer Jihad of Ball St, avg 18 and 8
Touko Tainamo of Denver, avg 15 and 7
Agree.. he can handle the ball and besides his ability to shoot the ball he should be another ball handler that can take pressure off Harris. Has over 300 assists in 3 years.
Good thing there's recent examples of Summit players jumping up and being successful.
Yupp I was giddy last year when you mentioned the smoke of him entering and possibly coming home
According to 247 he was an unranked prospect in 2021 class. Tulsa was his best offer out of High School. Late bloomer, and given he wasn't a highly ranked prospect we likely didn't bother scouting him.. Sometimes they fall through the cracks..
Sounds like it, hopefully not done either.
The latest is that Elmarko is expected back and Mari would be leaving. Still could change since perhaps some exit interviews are happening
Oregon St's Jordan Pope in, guard avg 17ppg. He's a baller.
Woooo, love this add
Announces his return for his Sr year.
Rare to see today.
Next year's Sr night is going to be something to remember
Portal now at nearly 1300 entrants
@wissox said in 2024 Portal Madness Thread:
@JAYHAWKFAN214 Could you just tell us what the tweets say instead?
The last one was Yesufu back in the portal.
The others Williams of Oklahoma St, Colbert from Kansas St, a big with a name nobody knows but his mother from Arizona and Dainja
Definitely not a defensive upgrade. Wouldn't be a bad bench option. Started at Baylor. He impressed at times but consistency seemed to be all over the place.
Northern Illinois guard David Coit in, avg 20ppg this year. Film shows he's got a bag of options, can really get his own on the perimeter
Temple Guard Hysier Miller in, avg 15ppg.
Illinois big Dain Dainja in, wouldn't be a bad bench option big.
Other FAU dudes in, Nicholas Boyd and Giancarlo Rosado.
Notre Dame freshman Carey Booth in. The 6'10 forward has promise, can shoot spot up 3s and is athletic
Norfolk St guard Jamarii Thomas in, avg 17ppg.
Huge one in. Vladislav Goldin from FAU. wonder if he follows his coach to Michigan. Talented big in his money year
Definitely not as tall as some but will play bigger due to athleticism, has some advanced 2nd jump ability to him, "that bounce" you can't teach.
Definitely a slate to work with here. Not an OAD and hope we can develop him
Looking back, Uconn didn't play their A game but it was still good enough to beat KU even in Allen. We just seemed to match them that day with the home crowd being a big factor. We were also healthy at the time and they weren't. Perhaps that was the difference right there in itself
old friend Scotty Middleton in the portal. Avg 4.4 ppg on 45% shooting from 3 on 62 attempts. Avg 15 minutes off the bench.
Understand fully
And so domino #1 has fallen
Will be interesting to monitor. He's got the size and athletic traits to figure it.
To think we beat them this year. Cam Spencer had that ankle issue and couldn't make a basket, Castle was recovering from injury. We would lose by 35 playing this current version, even in Allen
Iowa St freshman Omaha Billew in, KU recruited him a good bit and he had a disappointing season playing behind many seasoned vets. This guy will be a problem in a few years for opponents
Doesn't excuse the case he had hanging over his head when they took his commitment. It was even unclear if Morris would play at all, be suspended etc during the summer before the trip to the Bahamas. I still don't understand what Bill was thinking here and never will
Pains me to write this in envy and jealousy. Anyway this Uconn run is historic. 10 straight double digit tournament wins is absolutely insane. Even more insane is this group looks even better and more dominate. Still 2 games left but man they have played the game at a level that isn't being matched here in March. That 30-0 run yesterday was off the charts.
Okay I'm done giving my respects. It would be nice for KU to get back to that level of play
Me too, I don't think I'll be able to follow the team if another situation like that happens. It sure made this season for me personally a lot less enjoyable. The entire transfer portal process last year was awful and hard to understand the decisions made
Perfect round 2!!!
Zeke Mayo to visit KU on Tuesday
Wait Pops got a case brewing? Self's kind of dude
Bowling Green Guard Marcus Hill has heard from KU since entering the portal. He avg 20ppg and was 1st team All-MAC
Stanford forwards Brandon Angel and Maxime Raynoud are intriguing bigs that are in. Both avg double figures
Portal at nearly 1200 entrants
John Hugley from OU and freshman Eric Dailey of OSU in. Dailey was a top 100 kid last cycle. Going to be good somewhere
FSU forward Baba Miller in, hasn't reached his potential yet
Riley Kugel smoke. Might have had a zoom call with the staff yesterday. Seems to be heating up
Reuben Chinyelu of Washington St in. Really intriguing backup big potential.
Danny Wolf, Center from Yale in. Would pursue
PJ Haggerty in, Tulsa guard started career at TCU, avg 21ppg this year good for 13th nationally
Minnesota forward Soph Pharrell Payne in, avg 10 and 6 with 1.4 blks per. Apparently one that got better as the season went on.
