Good take as a walk on. If this is who we had to take as a walk on to get Rylan then I’d gladly do that
More than just Rylan ties as noted.
Can’t complain too much then

@TYOHawk Rylan has a much better chance at filling a 3 and d role in the nba. Storr is a godawful defender. Either way other than Rylan all the pro guys on the team feel like two ways
This isn’t Greg Gard…Self will be on AJ’s ass about defending.

@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.
You need AJ to become one of the GUYS in college basketball. I think Rylan is a good second alternative for a potential pro.
Rakease is a potential pro in 3 years imo. Flory will get a shot if the defensive ability is real. That’s about it

@BeddieKU23 said in Transfer Rumblings:
Really happy for Furphy. Helps with wing recruiting and in general going forward.
Exactly…kid came in a late bloomer who ended up around top 50…left with a green room invite and will be a top 20 pick. Good stuff to pitch to AJ Dybantsa and Darryn Peterson
Sucks losing Kugel but man I’m really excited about a wing trio of Rylan, AJ and Rakease. We got shot creation, athleticism and spot up shooting all in one portal season
@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.
It’s not the best scenario for us immediately but I’m fine with giving Rakease those spot minutes.

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!
Was a questionable take from the beginning imo.
How so? Wasn’t a star recruit, wasn’t expected to be a star in year 1 either.
What translatable traits do you see for him long term? Just as a basketball player? Not even as a star.

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

@approxinfinity I’m ready for him to go 28 min, 14 pts, 7 ast, 2.5 stl, with less than 2 turnovers a game this year.
There is no world in which he averages 14 ppg. We’ve loaded up guys who can score because it’s not his thing.
Yep. Teams will be daring him to shoot. Which is good for us because that’s when he can hit them.
Yup he’s a great set shooter with space. But the scoring on this team will be done by primarily 4 guys….Hunt, AJ, Griffen and Zeke. I’d argue the hierarchy is probably set already.

@rcjhdraft said in Transfer Rumblings:
@TYOHawk College coaches always value experience so we’ve ended up with this terrible product of 25 year olds still playing while freshman have to transfer since they’ll know they’ll get played over and recruited over. It’s terrible at that point some players gotta give up basketball.
Couldn’t agree more.
@rcjhdraft said in Transfer Rumblings:
Can’t wait for these covid seniors to finally be done
Same…get these senior citizens out of the college game lol.
I’m honestly just thrilled we’re getting athletes again. It was such a crazy thing to watch last year with us being unathletic and not being able to shoot.
Get me Griffen to go with Storr and I’m more than fine with a wing rotation of Storr and Rylan with Rakease getting McDowell type of minutes.
@BShark said in Transfer Rumblings:
@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
Dajuan-Griffen-Storr-KJ-Hunt with Zeke in the Remy role is my guess
Kugel 7th man is insane btw as he has NBA talent (but a head case).
What was our last squad to be this deep? The last Morris twins team? The title team? Like guys like Kease might have nba potential and he’s like the 10th man.
Dajuan-Griffen-Storr-KJ-Hunt with Zeke in the Remy role is my guess

Darius Acuff should be visiting this weekend. Explains Rylan coming a big earlier than expected since you wouldn’t want overlap.
Wow. How did we pull off that? Haven’t seen Kansas on any list for Acuff.
Townsend coached his dad in college fwiw.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
Total upside play. He’ll walk into the facility and be the most talented player we have and it won’t be all that close. Just has to put it together
You think he’s more talented than Griffen?

Also I think I’m about to be wrong on Zeke Mayo…
KUBALLIN10 REJOICE???
LOLLLLLL
@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@TYOHawk It is a bad sign character wise but quitting on a team versus what turd bucket did are definitely two different things
He’s an athletic guard and his shot looks fundamentally sound hopefully Bill doesn’t quick hook him and unlocks him
Yeah I’m not against criticism but it has to be measured. What likely happened is Kugel started believing his hype from Nike camp and seeing his name on a few mocks…got disappointed at his performance this season and sulked throughout being benched.
@kjayhawks said in Transfer Rumblings:
I’m just not impressed everything I read or hear is he is a nut case and a thug last thing we need is another Morris
I think there is a very big discrepancy with being a bad or frustrated teammate like Kugel and a criminal like Morris. I’d refrain from using the thug word to this guy.
Should we start hearing movement on our own roster in the upcoming days?

@TYOHawk said in Transfer Rumblings:
Losing that recruitment is going to bother me. I can’t lie. Lawrence kid…grew up rooting for the program…scoring PG.
Mayo isn’t a PG and wouldn’t be a PG here. The dude has a career turnover rate north of 15% and has gotten worse each season. So another case of a certain someone incorrectly assuming Dejuan Harris will impact a recruit that plays a different position than Harris.
He can be a primary handler at times and give us a scorer threat from the backcourt which we currently lack in a big way.

I kinda get it though, they want athleticism and he struggles in that way. Plus he wants to be THE GUY. Sounded like Kugel and Mayo were in a similar recruiting space for the staff ie wing guard type at our level (Mayo turns it over a lot in the Summit League so he’s not a GUARD in P5).
Maybe I’ll be wrong, but wanted to pass along what the current buzz is.
No problem with reporting what you’re hearing….i just don’t want the staff to be married to starting anyone other than Furphy and Hunter. I truly want them to get competition for everybody else…
