Just got this feeling, were going to have A LOT of new faces for next years roster. - - I think chances are pretty decent we lose Grant Foster , Tristan , Jossell , & Muscadin.

With what we have coming in on top of the fact good possibility of adding Walker t - -then we have KJ , Clemence , & Curry coming in

Our Roster actually would look pretty Salty. - Sr Lightfoot - - Jr Agbaji - - McCormack - - Curry - - -Soph Braun - - Fr Adams - Clemence - - Harris - - & Wilson & Walker I'd take that hopefully find some really good rim protector be good to go

@BeddieKU23 After this post he went for 24/11 and 11/10. Coming on strong. Just dunk, screen and rebound.

exactly what we need someone solid

Ya, Tyson Walker down to his final 6 he said KU - - Michigan State - -Vanderbilt - - Maryland - -( Turg hands off ) - - Texas - - & Mia /Fla. - - Only like the 6th freshmen for them in their history with over 100 assists/104 in the Season and 56 Steals. - - CAA Defensive player of the year , 1st Team all CAA his freshmen year & 18.8 per. - -watching differnet video's that Matt Tait posted - -kid has got some deep range What's our real chances ?

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

@Woodrow

Walker will announce this weekend. Not sure when McKissic will pop but obviously Self and the staff have been in quick contact. I think these situations are not exclusive.

To me this does speak to someone in the starting 5 or rotation that won't be returning. That's just a guess right now or they feel McKissic is a good rotation 2 guard that would split minutes with Thompson (theoretically). So many possible moving parts.

So whats the feeling ? - - what's the gut say ? - - are we in the race for Walker ? -I mean in a serious race for Walker ? - -who is the main competition for him you think ? - -he would be nice watched his film really sweet

You know who has length and is athletic? Mady Traore. Name to keep an eye on. Illinois or KU.

See , that's what I like about you - -always tossing out new names for me to worked up in a tizzy about love it - -get my hopes up. - -This kid be a freshman ? - -well keep us updated if you hear anything buddy

@jayballer67

Health issues for Matta, chronic health issues caused by back surgery

ya just saw it was Matta and Indiana then fell through

This transfer situation is just getting insane

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Busy day in the portal. Up to 800 names now. Lots to unpack

Josh Roberts- St Johns

Rodney Chatman- Dayton (good defender, Harris type)

John Newman- Clemson

Feron Flavors- Oklahoma St

Jordan McCabe- West Virginia

Mickey Pearson- TCU

Aaron Wheeler- Purdont'

Darius McNeill- SMU

Jalen Johnson- Wake Forest

Whoaaa , wait what ? - - ok let me ask was McCabe a SR at West Virginia if not I don't understand he was seeing quite a bit of playing time he was a SR right so would be a grad transfer also kind of curious about flavors transferring - -seem like he was getting quite a bit of floor time

@BeddieKU23 said in Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach:

Looks like Indiana is looking at Thad Matta & Mike Woodson (NBA coach)

ya know I heard on the radio a couple of days back that Thad Matta was all set to become the Coach at a School and may have even been Indiana everything was set and then Thad failed HIS PHYSICAL so didn't go through. - Thought kind of strange why would Thad have to pass physical to Coach - sure I'm missing something , anyone else hear about that ? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk said in On The Bright Side:

Also there’s beer. That’s helpful

lol - - ya i took care of that last night. Had me some Bud light Platium - -and there is always more lol

@nuleafjhawk said in What happened? (comedy appreciated):

@jayballer67 Rates vary. Just depends on location and supply and demand.

Ahhh see if you can find me a bargain hard to beat a reasonable price rented mule - - lol

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

Donovan Williams and Royce Hamm of Texas enter the portal

oh damm thats kind big - -Hamm not a bad player

@nuleafjhawk said in What happened? (comedy appreciated):

It's 100% my fault. I sat on the wrong side of the couch. Didn't have my lucky socks on. (Who thought you'd need lucky damn socks to beat USC?) Didn't turn and watch Mr Robot after we got down 10. (That always helps when I turn the channel for 20-30 minutes). I guess it all worked out, though. If we eventually would have gotten (had) to play Gonzaga, they would have beaten us like a rented mule. Honestly, I think they'd have won by 100. That would be a nice little asterisk to their referee induced perfect season.

curious how much does a rented mule cost ? lmao - -might be interested in trying that myself lol

I think we all knew this was coming. - This team was just WAY to inconsistent on the offensive end , I mean how many times did we come out and dig ourselves a hole at the beginning of games ? - -Multiple times. - I don't think we have anything to worry about as far as guys leaving or testing NBA waters , certainly not Oachi , guy is probably the leader of inconsistency , he needs major work at being a consistent scorer. - - I think in the end result Coach was right when asked who his most improved player was from the year before - it was DAVID hands down & he had down times too but overall I think he for sure has grown the most easy.

I remember guys on this site just dogging Marcus calling him a liability on the offensive end but towards the end - - beleive it or not he was probably one of the better 3 point shooters we had, Christan disappeared offensively - -Oachi became way to inconsistent - - Jalen fell off and forced alot of shots - -Bryce - -Bryce - - Well Bryce shot was just ugly, last night perfect example

This team has lots of work to do during the off season , we got to get alot better offensively. - - I think this has to be one of Coach Selfs least talented , less athletic team he has had. Long scoring droughts - - lot's of struggle scoring the ball. - Proof is right there in front of us. How many times were we in the 80's this year scoring the ball ? - -most time was in the lower 70's middle 70's upper 60's. - Not that long ago a lot of times upper 70's lower 80's -- just really poor shooting the ball. we are use to high 40'% shooting the ball - -not this year.

This team just didn't have it. - -We need more athletic wings , bigger wings - -shot blockers, protecting the rim. - i some aspects feel like we under achieved this year just felt like I dunno just didn't have it.

This team was just ugly at times terrible decision making , bad turnovers , forced shots , worst 3 point shooting we have had for a long time just hoping for better things next year. - There is no way in normal circumstances USC should spank our ass like that. - -think we might have big turner over a lot differnt look especially with this transfer port like it is

Possibilities of Jethro - - Jossell - - -Tristan - - Foster who knows

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:

Jonas Aidoo is back on the market. Certainly fits the length/athleticism build. Definitely also a project.

Wasn't we in on him before ? - -seems like I thought we were wanted him - -I think we could see some big time moves yet for 21 - maybe as many as 4 - -replace with 4 different roster

Think people is gonna fully appreicate Marcus even more when he is not here don't think some people gave him enough credit tendency more to critize him then appreciate him, and 100 % right he busted his ass of - -ALL the time

Well one question has been answered Oachi WILL BE BACK next year - no way is he drafted way to inconsistent on his shot - -This is a blow out pretty disgusting. - -We have seen this scenario way to many times every fricken game they do this and it COSSTS YA GOD this a pathetic shooting team

This game is done.- - - This HAS to be Coach Self if not the worst one of the worst shooting teams he has had-- - -it's about to get REALLY UGLY. - tHOMPSON IS killing us HE HAS lots and lots of WORK TO DO TO BE ANY GOOD

@BeddieKU23 I'm kinda liking that . Like the way that sounds , ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mercy that was the most obvious blown call Michigan totally stepped out of bounds on the drive so what do the ref's do - - they call a foul on LSU LMAO YA THAT WORKS

Well not a Coach on the hot seat or at least wouldn't think should be BUT seen this off another site - kinda stunned me BUT A radio Station out of Charlotte NC reporting that Roy Williams days at North Caroling could be Done - - Whaa ? - -under the comments or response was asked - - fired or retire - - they responded retire - -if that's the Case all I can say is WOW

Dam Cam Thomas from LSU leads the Nation in Free Throws now forgot which one it was but lads the Nation at either Free Throws Made - - or Free Throws Attempted - -188 - - shooting 87 %

@BShark So all these transfers their going to be eligible immediately ?

Oh hai https://247sports.com/Article/UMKC-senior-Brandon-McKissic-hits-the-transfer-market-162881730/ ↗

Also yes.

Seems like to me, KU can and should take two guards. Imagine there will be plenty of room.

maybe just me but I do think Tristan probably will transfer , would be very surprised if he comes back - - - Grant Foster I'm sure is gone - -& maybe/probably transfer for smaller school- - -maybe even more possibly Jethro but something says he might stick around another year

@benshawks08 said in USC Game:

Just tuned in for a few minutes... 2 TERRIBLE calls/noncalls on back to back possessions favoring Gonzaga. A clear foul on a layup not called, a clear charge called a block giving gonzaga free throws...

It's Gonzaga what do you expect ? lol - - any kin dof call that could hurt them - they SURE THE HELL not callin

Was it a push umm ya - -BUT a hard push ? - -give me a fricken break. - -If your gonna give that to these little golden spoon babies that then call the game and name a score now - - PLEASE we got hit a lot harder then that in practice -come on get real

Not really a transfer but 6'4 Combo Guard Jameel Brown de-commits from Purdue

@BeddieKU23 ya after he hit his 1st try Manik chunking up 40 ft shots REALLY HELPS got guys catching right at the hole and kicks it up - - WTF ? - -WIDE OPEN you can't miss opportunities like that and expect to have any chance. - then Kruger taking Manik AND Reaves out at the same time - come on man you gotta roll the dice there is no tomorrow , you just have to rely on the guys not to commit silly fouls these guys worthless on the bench and where the hell you gonna score from with them out

If OU wants ANY CHANCE - -ANY CHANCE at all they can't afford going in at half any further down then like 7 at most I would think

Ya I know very early but Reaves just going off for Oklahoma

Sooo many possibilities , but were full I know things can be worked out soo who would be your top - -and I mean top choices if were given the chance of transfers?

well guessed I missed it. - -So what I'm seeing or at least sounding like is -- -Illinois AND Iowa both lost yesterday?

@nuleafjhawk said in USC Game:

@BeddieKU23 I'm definitely biased, but it seemed that the announcers were pretty butt-hurt that we came back to beat Ewwww.

they was

@BeddieKU23 said in USC Game:

@DanR

Would be a KU tournament legend if he got 35. We need something like 16-20 from him tonight. More then anything I just want to see him wall up defensively, not get into foul trouble and play his game. This is a huge game for him personally going up against Mobley and I really hope he takes to the scouting report on how to beat him offensively because this might be the best shot blocker he's ever went up against.

Sounds good I would like this too, I'm just afraid he gonna be in trouble. Mobley get's out in open space quicker - - more athletic better bounce, - then who is going to guard THE OTHER Mobley , afraid we really got out hands full - -like you say shot blockers -gonna have a hard time inside Dave has really improved just afraid going against a guy like thi gonna be a long noght, just takes to long for Dave to get his shot up against a guy like this
