Washington St guard redshirt freshman Myles Rice in, avg 14ppg. Started both tournament games
He can score but anyone that learned defense playing for Fran is a lost cause coming to KU
Not a fan of his antics.
Tony Perkins has heard from KU, guard leaving Iowa after avg 14ppg
UCF lost 4 players today
Old friend/commit Tre White back in the portal, leaving Louisville.
Joshua Jefferson of Saint Mary's in, Soph forward averaged 10 and 6. Didnt play in the tournament for some reason.
Utah St freshman starter Mason Falslev averaged 11 and 4 off 56% shooting. Avg 9 and 5 in 2 tournament games.
Portal approaching 1100 entrants
Old friend Bobby P back in the portal after 1 year at East Carolina.
Florida Guard Riley Kugel in the portal. Hope we pursue here.
TCU forward Jacobe Coles in the portal.
Old nemesis Eddie Lampkin in the portal for Colorado. Luke O'Brien in as well. Wonder if we look at him
Tucker Devries in the portal from Drake.
Avg 16 a game. Can shoot the rock. Would pursue and see where it goes

Dante Maddox, transfer from Toledo has heard from KU
Ol friend Isaac Mcbride back in the portal. Avg 19.8ppg at Oral Roberts
High level NIL incoming for just that alone
Micah Peavy of TCU in the portal. Always liked his game. Would be a fit
KD Johnson of Auburn in the portal. Electric Athlete from winning school with tons of experience. Not a shooter though.
No he won't have to sit anymore unless they change the rules again. Back in December a court put a temporary stay to the 2-time transfer ruling. Some 2 time transfer guys started playing immediately. Then the NCAA said its allowable through the rest of the season. Everyone is working under the assumption now it won't be an issue next year either.

Some interesting names in today.
2nd leading scorer from New Mexico- Jamal Mashburn Jr.
Oklahoma's Otega Oweh, talented athletic guard.
South Carolina's leading scorer Meechie Johnson.
Ha, Marcus Adams Jr onto his potential 4th team in a year. Briefly at KU, Gonzaga, then BYU. Back in the Portal
Comes from P5 program, developed 3 years, started 2 straight years. Potential NBA prospect if the cards fit down the line. Good positional size, videos I've seen made his standing reach look more Kevin then KJ. Athletic enough to finish above the rim in transition & around the rim on cuts/plays at the basket. One of the top defenders in the Pac-12, fills the stat sheet a lot like Kevin did (4+ boards, 3 assists). 3-point shot is okay/not great % wise, shot 36% as a Soph. I see some step backs, stopping and shooting in transition, pull-ups. His mechanics are better then Kev that took all day to get into his shot.
There's rumor a Big-12 program offered him an NIL deal already (could be KU, I don't know).
This is one that seems to fit a lot of boxes Self looks for. Wing size, defends, can make plays at all 3 levels. I've also seen that Kobe was not the best fit at USC and perhaps he'd see growth in a new system like Kevin did here.
I see things to like and proven production. Replacing what Kev gave us won't be easy. I think we need to throw numbers at our issues in the backcourt.
How cliché, 3 former Hawks Tyon-Grant Foster, Isaac McBride and Tristan Enaruna all finished tied for 36th nationally in scoring at 19.8ppg.
Portal has over 800 in
KU has reached out to Rutgers big transfer Cliff Omoruyi who avg 10, 8 and nearly 3 blocks per game, good for 3rd nationally. Not a good FT shooter and fouls a lot.
Oh man.
Not sure Elmarko will ever learn to shoot
Should have known today wasn't going to be fun when I woke up to 4 inches of snow after nothing for months. Followed by hail, sleet and freezing rain back to snow. Yikes
Some fun moments this year for sure. Hopefully this is one where things go forward from here
Nope
Mo bricks
Mo bricks
Perhaps they will practice offense in the offseason
Timeouts aren't going to help you bill
Lol juan
Perfect
Shades of every tournament loss we have lately. Complete no shows
Yeah. Good bye
Perfect hunt. Just throw it away
But he didn't make them, I do agree they were the looks we want
Just what we needed another brick
Just missing everything like usual
Win the first 4 minutes. Repeat
Juan is now 4th on the all-time assists list passing Kirk Hinrich
Adams and Hunt cannot get that 3rd foul before the first TV timeout.
7 3s in the first half. We make 7 in the 2nd we are winning
What a half that was some serious ball for a while
Great free throw defense
Alright that was a great end besides that foul
They are gassed, the other team isn't. Story of every game
