Yeah i just saw a tweet saying Cryer to Houston. Could really use some good news soon.
I'm not saying it won't but we just got to be patient and hang in there>- I know Coach always comes through. - It's just me trying to convince myself - -we gonna be fine
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Probably a handful. Counting the fall enrollees we’re over by a few. I’d look at the specialists for a couple and maybe a TE and WR. I think we’re over the numbers at those spots.
Ya I Read where Coach said we WERE AT OUR LIMIT. Yet a we know now spring football over the guys kinda getting a feel where they stand with the team. - I think we lose possibly right around 10
Well just as a casual joe blow bystander fan - -at this point it REALLY doesn't look like KU is in serious contention for ANY of the current players that's been mentioned .
Ingram is not a factor - - - -
Jones from Stanford turned out to be nothing - - - -
Kevin I think will stick in with the NBA - been mentioned might be able to work a 2 way deal- - - -
Dude from Virginia from what I hear-most likely going to Duke- - - -
Cryer headed to Houston - - - -
Just not really feeling Timberlake at this point - - - - -
Dickinson Think he ends up on the east Coast - either Maryland or G Town .Is he scheduled for a visit here to KU , anyone know ?- - - -
Reynolds is out - - - -
Soooo who's next up ? - - -Spears ?
Hey Farmer Jayhawk - -got a question. Since Spring football is over now , have you heard anything about how many kids we might lose to the portal ? I know for sure Alexander is gone but just curious who else you might have heard about possible leaving ?

Utah vs. Denver today...Jayhawks prominent...Ochai with a team leading 28 points! That's the good. 10-25! from the field, so not very efficient, but...Doke with 8pts and 11 RB in a Utah win...CB solid in the loss with 14 pts on 5-8 from the field, 6 RBs and 3 steals and +4...
Watch some clips of CB - -guarding Ochai - wow lol

Well was just reading on lil sisters board. - -They was talking about Cryer - I guess they were talking to some Baylor and they brought up the fact about how even though Tang was the main recruiter for Cryer to Baylor about how Cryer and Tang having a shaky relationship.
Right now Cryer has his visit to Houston - -has a visit set up with K/State next week and is possibly trying to set up a visit with KU. Cryer says even though he has other schools reaching out At this point he is looking to stay in the Big 12. - - So would we take him?- -I think we would - however I think I've heard Houston probly

WOW - that surprise me - - -Boone Oklahoma St ? - - this portal is crazy. - do we actually think this portal is helping the game or hurting teams
It's getting almost to a point where if the kid wakes up in a bad mood one day it's coming down to where he gets into it with the Coach and says Screw this I'm going in the Portal--- looks like they are making it to easy for the kids - -whether it's legit or not. - -They might make it again even if they portal they sit a year - -legit or not. - - it's been mentioned here what the count is like what 1,300 and still time for many more. I think it's just got out of hand

Having so many newbies makes me think unless we portal pull amazingly well, we could be in for a rebuild. For us, that means NCAA tournament w/o winning the B12. Have hard times come upon us? Could we be an actual "bubble" team? Or do we slay the portal, and are back in the Top 5? Bill seems to think Top 5...do you agree?
Well evidently some other people either know things we don't - -OR they just reaching - -I mean really reaching -cause I read ANOTHER article last night people making their predictions for next year and they had KU as 15-1 to win the Championship - this is the 2nd article I've read where they have picked us to win or get to the final four. - Of course like they say a lot is on who we have returning-- -who we got coming in & then the Portal but they are saying with the names we are connected to in the portal is huge
With all of the vacancies on the team, these high pre-season rankings are fool's gold and everyone should know it if you're being honest and objective.
The pundits' projections are almost exclusively based on coach Bill Self, his history of success and his emerging position as Alpha among all coaches. Yes, KU Basketball is now the recipient of the same ranking inflation that Duke received when Coach K was there. It wouldn't be like this if Jay Wright had stayed another year or two, but his departure and UK/Cal's recent performance woes have created a vacuum in basketball coaching that hasn't been seen since Wooden retired.
Bill Self is The Man... and this year's early tourney exit didn't tarnish him... it possibly enhanced him due to his absence in the post-season.
They did say that they based a lot of this if the possible Portal target's Ku was connected with. - It's ridiculous to make any kind of predictions on the up coming season already

Who would we consider the # 1 prospect is in the portal as of right now ? - -HUNTER ?
@BShark said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@jayballer67 Kentucky people don't think they are really in it for Hunter and that he is just using them for NIL boost. Small fwiw.
Well that works for me - I wonder IF Hunter wee to land here - -how would that effect Udeh & Zubys thought process - -dam I'd hate to lose those guys good developmental guys - -you can see they have some promise
Not sure how much it effects anything or pertains BUT I know Hunter was suppose to have a zoom meeting today with Kentucky. - -Well just read off the Kentucky boards saw where the Freshman that had entered the portal Ugonna - announced he was coming back to Kentucky next year after all. - Just wonder if that would have any effect on Hunter possibly landing there. - I mean though where ever Hunter lands he is starting - he is not transferring anywhere to com off the bench - -not with his resume.-- just found it interesting.
Also saw the guy I wanted Graham I guess is going to Providence- - & also saw that Ingram has been connected to the possibility of N Carolina -- things are gonna be interesting

@mayjay said in KU Ladies tourney time:
KU men have only been to the NIT twice. '68 reached the title game, lost to Dayton. '69 lost in the first round. 3-2 record.
I was surprised KU never went back in the days when the NIT was more prestigious and even considered a better tourney than the early NCAA fest. But since P. Allen was one of the luminaries pushing for the NCAA, it wouldn't have made sense to accept a bid to the competitor.
In any event, KU women have won something the men didn’t. I say banner up!
BANNER UP AGREED. -no reason we can't acknowledge/ appreciate - - what the Ladies DID DO. - they did something mens Basketball & foot ball didn't do - -they beat Arkansas lol - -ROCK CHALK LADIES.
kind of a shame that we have to have a discussion about whether we should or shouldn't hang a banner for them- Hang it up

I'm against a banner not that my opinion matters on it. 69th best team in the country woohoo.
There is A LOT of other womens teams that would of given anything to still be playing. -This team has come a long ways from what they use to be. Better chance then not all 5 coming back next year. They are better then what you think

kinda wondering , might be nice if they did. - They deserve some reward .- would be deserved if they did
Now this is pretty funny. - You talk about the ultimate insult. - -Caleb Love transferring from North Carolina - -to DUKE lol - -What the - -WHAT ? - -lol - -swapping arch rivals

Impressive win. Probably should've been in the NCAA tourney. NEXT YEAR
They were a bubble team going into the Big 12 Tournament and lost their first game to 1-17 TCU and looked god awful in that game. That's why they didn't make the NCAA Tournament this year.
the sad part of that opening round loss to TCU- - - was that they had just beaten them the last game of the Season by 22
Was good to see Jalen won the Julius Irving award , which goes to the top voted small forward. - -Great Job buddy

@jayballer67 That's fine. It's just that I don't get all teary eyed over people who give us a year. I'm not saying he's a bad person. It's like some people want fast, shiny, expensive cars and some people want dependable cars with good gas mileage. Neither one is wrong. It's a preference.
I don't either get all teary eyed , no need too I mean it's a their decision to make. - If that's what he wants then so be it. -We was fine BEFORE GRADY got here and we just like always will be fine for years to come after he ha left here
