Cool beans

@Bosthawk said in Call your Shot on Agbaji & Wilson returning:

Looks like Ochai doing ok at the combine, but not enough to improve his draft projected position.
I’m betting big that he’ll be back. At best right now he would be a G leaguer. Better for him to play on national TV at KU and work hard to improve his game.

Meanwhile, I can’t wait to get me a Gradey Dick Jersey next year :) I mean how often can you get a legit jersey with “dick” on the back…
Hope his number is like 13 and not 3 ☺️

Just put a decimal point between the 1 and the 3

So assuming everyone makes it to Lawrence - Remy, Yes, OA, Jalen, Dave starting and Harris, Pettiford, Braun, JCL, Cam off the bench? Feel least confident about Yes starting, but pretty sure about those other 4. Clemence, Adams, Cuffe not seeing a ton of minutes and are candidates to redshirt. Mitch just enjoying life. Not a ton of defense but should be a lot of buckets.

39.5% from 3, 86.1% from the line, 6'4'', and senior sounds good to me. His numbers points/rebounds/assists are almost identical to Ochai's. Probably not quite as good defensively though. Not a bad pickup.

First things first, let's make sure all of these guys are in Lawrence 5 months from now.

Bill is building an army of 6-ft-tall guards.

Bryce to Okie Lite

Have my second on Saturday. :(

Is Arizona going to get both of these guys (Washington and Hickman)?

Huh, I wonder why he decommitted? Would take for sure.

It was me. I'm the mystery player.

I can shoot 3's and nothing else.

AFC West might be kind of crazy if my Broncos get Rodgers...

4-star Shane Dezonie decommits from Arizona. 6'4 combo guard.

Not sure if legit, but

@KirkIsMyHinrich Just lure all the opposing assistant coaches into a dark alley.

Going to have to be a big-ass alley.

Oh hello.

Everyone has reached out.

@BShark I don't doubt it, but I would just rather play the guards we already have.

Good player, but 5'10, 22.5% from 3, and 4.4 turnovers per game is not something I really want at KU.

@FarmerJayhawk Well that's something to look forward to in a couple weeks.

@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

Trey Alexander is back on the market.

I know he had KU in his Top 5 or Top 3 or whatever, but are we interested in him at all? I haven't heard much here other than that we offered.

Good luck to him. One of my favorite Jayhawks of all time.

Marcus Williams to Texas A&M

TyTy has cut his list down to Baylor, Kansas, Kentucky, Arizona, Oregon, and LSU

The Eastern Washington big that burned us in the portal too. He's considering Texas and Oklahoma lol

All good. Let's just beat Texas.

Not going to lie, part of me wants to get Christian Bishop, but another part of me just wants to play Zach Clemence or other young players next season.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Nah its real 🐦 View Tweet

These pictures were hilarious btw. Thanks for that

Ah, thank you. Hoping this means good things for landing Bishop.

Or maybe not. I'm not sure the source was reliable. Sorry

Brady Manek to UNC.

It would be nice if he gave us a definitive answer, yes.

If Garrett wants to come back I think he's earned that right. If he does, I would like to see him try to be effective on offense without being so ball-dominant. It might be hard to resist Marcus being the primary ball-handler in tight games, though. He was 34.8% from 3 and 80.8% from the line this season (up from 30.2% and 63.5% career), so I think he could play more off the ball, especially if he keeps improving his shooting.

Fulkerson returning to Tennessee. That team looks pretty good for next season.

He went to Florida

I'm excited about having several young guards who will develop together and hopefully be around for multiple years.

What a busy offseason it's been. It seems like there's big news every day.

It would certainly be a nice player to get, because we would probably have him for multiple years. Him being Adidas makes me think KU has a shot.

And he was only a freshman this season. I'm sure everyone wants him though.

@BShark said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

@KirkIsMyHinrich Well we aren't getting TyTy.

David Collins, Bryce Hamilton and Daejon Davis are potentially real options. We will know a lot more on Collins by the end of the week.

Cool. I think I'd want Davis the most out of that group. I like the defense and efficiency.

@BShark Do you have any guards in mind other than TyTy?

Charlie Moore in the portal

I have no idea. His numbers were bad last season. He'll have to improve a lot.

Devin Askew to Texas

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

@Kcmatt7 Hope so. Sad to see Bryce go, I think he had a lot of potential. But ultimately he needs to do what's best for him.

Yeah I'm torn because I thought he had potential but honestly he sucked.

Wonder who we end up getting...

I mean his numbers were horrific, there's no getting around that. It's hard to know how much those numbers were affected by a very not normal offseason and a midseason injury. He just needs to go somewhere where he can play a lot and work through his mistakes. Hopefully somewhere not in the B12 conference.

@Kcmatt7 Hope so. Sad to see Bryce go, I think he had a lot of potential. But ultimately he needs to do what's best for him.

Are we anticipating losing scholarships as part of a potential punishment?

I was reading rumors that he was going back to UNC just this morning. Was Auburn expected?

Oumar Ballo from Gonzaga in the portal.

Jalen receiving feedback on what he needs to improve to play at the next level is a good thing. I'm guessing it'll be get better at shooting, defense, and jumping higher than 4 inches.
