@dylans said in Transfer Rumblings:
@BShark Is Robinson a likely commit? Gotta play D to earn minutes.
Kansas or stays in the draft is the current belief with him.
A small nugget but talking to some coaches there is a general belief that Storr will thrive under Self.
Is it a hot take to say Storr is the best prospect or talent on this team?
That is a concern of mine, who are the pros on this roster? In terms of NBA guys, there may not be any. History has shown talent is what wins. 22 had 3 NBA guys and 2 other league pros.
We know Juan/KJ/HD are not NBA guys. Zeke really isn’t either. So the hope would be Rylan/Storr and develop into that. I think Rakease has the potential but this year no. Flory is not an NBA guy unless the jump shot really comes along.

Cincy is a dark horse Big 12 top tier team https://x.com/tiptonedits/status/1791557068425470256?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
Pretty tough to crack the top 4 but they will be solid.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BeddieKU23 Doesn’t do much besides shoot the ball. I’d think a bench piece.
I also expect Bill to look to fill the last spot. Rumblings of a visitor (not Jaxson) Mon/Tue.

So is robinson an apt defender with that wingspan
Jaxson and Storr have never heard of playing defense before.

@approxinfinity NIL is definitely part of it. Bill has also been more aggressive identifying and pursuing targets.
Bill also isn’t fresh out of the hospital.

@BShark had a good coach too!
You’d know him well, I’d imagine. 12 years at HCC I think?

@BShark from? Kapaun
Yes. State champion, went beast mode in KS playoffs to carry them to the title. Older brother is at Wichita State.

RE: Recruiting Notes
Sounds like Will Thengvall will be added as a walk on. Was a stud this year 5A player of the year in KS.

@jayballer67 What did Arkansas have before he arrived? Why shouldn’t they be excited about the upgrade? Change is exciting and full of possibilities. I have a hard time wanting to bash a fanbase that hasn’t had success since the early 90s for being excited about the top available coach coming there.
Cal can recruit. If he gets good assistant coaches (that can coach) they will do well. Only entitled fans like Kentucky, Duke, KU etc expect a title every year or bust. Some fan bases can enjoy winning the conference or even just having regular season success after such a long drought.
I hope Arkansas whips Kentucky this year. It would be hilarious.

Nova makes a lot of sense but I wouldn’t want to play for that coach. Shocked they haven’t tried to upgrade
Arkansas and St Johns in there as well now. Kid will be getting paid.

@BeddieKU23 said in Transfer Rumblings:
Shelby takes Kugels spot. Wouldn’t be surprised if that’s best we can do at this point which seems like a low bar in itself. Perhaps there is one last trick to get a somewhat comparable talent in that can provide wing depth for this season.
Shelby on scholarship is a disaster lol

@approxinfinity said in Transfer Rumblings:
glad Jamari is on the team, he has been a good teammate, making the most of his minutes, and you need guys like that
You’re tempting me, really tempting me. Good team mate is a stretch! Gonna take a break lol.

@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
The funniest thing to me in Bill’s comments was him gassing everyone up except for when he said “and and and and Jamari McDowell is back”.
So telling!
Honestly wish he’d moved on somewhere he can get real minutes…unless he plans to redshirt and go the releford route
He will redshirt next season imo. Now, I’d be stunned if he even had half the stats Releford ended up with at Kansas…
I don’t want to disparage the kid too hard. He’s staying for non-basketball reasons is the best way to put it.

Swain hasn’t mentioned that as of now. Don’t think we can land someone like him. He was a starter at Miami and is most likely looking for a starting spot somewhere.
Nova/KY for Mista Poplar I think.

Assuming Miya’s are more analytically driven?
Yeah, but man some of it does not make sense.

I’d be shocked if Louisville or Missouri are any good next year.

247 final transfer rankings
#4 AJ Storr
#25 Zeke Mayo
#39 Rylan Griffen
#113 Riley Kugel
Funny to see the differences. Evan Miya barely has Storr in the top 100.

Bump
Only had 2 spots and addressed big needs in the portal. Top 300 and top 60 guys in their HS class originally.

Will they leave a scholarship open to satisfy the penalty a year early?
Looks like yes

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@FarmerJayhawk I think they scramble if Kugel can’t make it, but are otherwise done. Really hope Kugel makes it. But yeah, that makes sense.

Contingent on Kugel I believe
Have heard nothing along these lines. Fully expect him to be a walk on and RS.

JIC down to three no KU (not surprised) or Syracuse (shocked).

Anyone know where Kadary Richmond is headed? OU? Should be an instant impact type player.
The word a while ago was St. Johns
Have they closed any of their tamper targets/“locks” yet? I know they have quite a few guys rumored…
Not that I’ve seen. Heard Kadary visited UK a few days ago. He would be a good pick up for Pope
That turned out to be a glitch on 247. One of their main guys Kyle Tucker confirmed he did NOT visit.

RE: You know it's a big day
The sooner you are drafted, the quicker you get to the theoretical second contract. Another year in college won’t change anything. The team that drafts him will invest time/resources into him as a first round pick. They want first round picks to work out. Those teams have great s&c programs/resources. He can focus on basketball year round and not have to worry about classes.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BeddieKU23 Not always starting for bad teams is telling but as long as Kugel gets here we are talking about the 9th guy. Insane depth in the portal era.
-
RE: Transfer Rumblings
@BeddieKU23 About as good a player as you could hope to find for the role we are offering. Partially because he’s a bit of a head case. Not a guy you’d want to truly rely on but good enough to steal some games as a depth piece.

RE: You know it's a big day
@DanR said in You know it's a big day:
I think Furphy will be extremely successful in the NBA. He was smart, mature, serious and focused in all the post game interviews. Instinctively, he has to be one of the best freshmen pro prospects in a long damn time other than the obvious 1 and dones. I’ll check back here in 3 years and see if I’m right.
I completely agree. Plus he fits what they are looking for. I won’t be surprised if he gets drafted in the front half of the first round.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
Jordan Ivy-Curry zoom call tomorrow. Perhaps a visit next week.

RE: Furphy
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t want to get into it. Not a big fan of the writer. He did the same thing with Gradey Dick. I’ve talked to some other writers about him. Things best not repeated.
