2026 Transfer Portal Chaos/Madness Thread
-
@HoraceZontal Diggy was averaging 20 ppg before KU and its not just Diggy. Basically every portal get that left again had bounce back years after Kansas.

@Kcmatt7 Andrew White III is another one. Tyon has been solid for Gonzaga this year too.

@Kcmatt7 how about Diggy? Odd example I think, but he killed it at UMD. Not at the level of KU, but impressive.
He was a scorer on a bad team. Wouldn’t consider that one a miss.

Yea I miss AWIII. But it was mostly BG beating him out more than him not getting his shot. Same skillset and BG was maybe the best shooter in the Bill era.
Tyon I guess. Tough one for me. 7th season guy and a bricklayer. I’m okay with him on another roster.

How did those teams perform?

@Kcmatt7 about as well as Kansas?

I thought, even though I don't think u get much from those games, Kinney played pretty good D. Had a 3 and made nice passes. I saw at least 1 dunk from him, and a missed dunk. Overall I thought he was good. I missed the first part. Stokes was definitely a team guy, great passes, good dunker, good boarder. Pretty impressed. Paul pierce was there, his nephew is going to Mizzou, he played. Ugh. PP went thru the hand shake line and didn't say anything to Stokes. Thought he did more at the KU game! Think we'd be lucky to get Stokes too.

Certainly a down class overall. Stokes has shown improved passing skills, perhaps one of the best in the class. You can see him turn it on at times and be really impactful.
Kinney will be impactful but he's going to need a stud running mate to take the pressure off. I found his passing and defense to be encouraging as well.
I found myself a bit jealous of where certain guys landed. Cameron Williams going to Duke, ugh. Richardson going to Bama is very interesting considering his family and he's a heck of an athlete. Caleb Holt going to Zona sucks as he was one of my few favorites in the cycle. Crowe and Smith are buckets.

I watched Hunter's interview and gave it some time since I'm biased when it comes to him (not in a good way). I think for as bright as he seems at understanding things he fully earned some of the criticism brought his way. He earned it at Michigan too. Just my 2 cents there. It was rather interesting to hear a player that's gone through the portal madness and seen the highs and lows of it at times. Some of it i found as excuses while other parts eye opening. I'll keep ringing this horn but fit is so important, not only for their talent on the court but for their maturity as well. Not sure he was the latter here but worse was that it wasn't dealt with as much as I thought. Understand this era is difficult for coaches to navigate how disciplined they can be with certain players

@BeddieKU23 I agree man kind of a down class over all no 1 really impressed me
