he doesn’t have the outside shot that ‘quis has but there’s strong rumblings that he’s coming
it would be great to have a guy with his experience in the locker room for the young cat rj jones (certified beast)

Tomlin can be a relied upon post scorer. I have faith. However, I would like us to land a proven post scorer via the portal.

Is there like a Portal master list somewhere?

you’re looking at it!

This has to be the first year after the bball season is over that my first thought is how excited I am about next bball season instead of getting pumped for FB.

He's a wing, we need a banger. Rumblings are that Colbert has been good in practice, we'll see.

This is about three days old and already dated. The PG from Delaware whose dad played in the NBA sounds interesting. Doesn't include PG Kerr Kriisa from Arizona, who is probably to guy in the portal right now. I see KU going after him big time.

Lampkin, if Tang is convinced he won't be a disruptive head case.
Really, I trust Tang to know what he has in Dai Dai, RJ, Rich, Manning, Finister, Colbert and thatjuco 6-7 guard who redshirted, as well as Tomlin, N'Guessant, Carter and Ish. But it does seem we need rebounding and scoring. Would lave to get transfer PG, SF and inside help but only have room for 2 of those spots as it now stands.

I feel cam cam will be a scorer

Give me tons of Jamars and Doms too

We'll see, but I doubt it. They didn't do that at Baylor and if you take Tang for his word development and camaraderie are hallmarks of his program, they certainly were at Baylor. I don't even know who would be good candidates to leave. Tykei? He has a COVID year left. Ish was non-committal when asked after the game. Dorian's mother was adamant on twitter that they love the program and he's coming back. N'Guessan and Cam aren't going anywhere.

I know he's talked about how much he likes Lampkin but he doesn't suit how his bigs played this year. Doesn't mean he won't take him, but Lampkin isn't a rim runner and definitely can't switch on screens.

This guy named Omar Stanley went to Link. I don't know if he's any good or not. 3-star big body. Maybe wants to be closer to home.

I don't see how they sell that with Harris still there. Unless he wanted to play off the ball, which seems unlikely because he's not been much of a scorer. Leave Arizona to play a reduced role at KU? Of course money talks, still tho.

I can't stand Kerr Kriisa, he's soft.

That's not true at all, I like Tommy Lloyd. I like Oumar Ballo. My dislike of Courtney Ramey is from his UT days, I just don't think he's very good. Kerr is kind of a punk.

Dikembe's son, 4 star recruit

Top 150 recruit guard from Long Island. Won a state championship, we know Tang loves that.

Raw talent. Pretty late bloomer/still developing. But we desperately need a rim protector (LSU kid maybe?) and rebounding, so I’m all for it. He has a decent shot/mid range game as well.

What’s the scholarship situation before any portal movement? Quis, Keyontae, Desi, Tykei, Iyiola all out, 3 incoming freshmen so 2 open scholies?

I'll always remember that baseline dagger Ish. This is a weird one for me. He seemed to have a decent role off the bench. On the other hand, he was prob told that was going to be his role again next year, so i'm excited to see who fills up the open roster spots and how the guys that didn't play last year look.

He swished his way into my heart

I can't believe this never popped into my head until just now.

Tamar Bates from Indiana, #30 prospect in the 2021 class, is down to us and Missouri. 37% from 3 but only avg 20min and 6pts this season. Consider me NOT SOLD!!
-
Whoa, we are swimming in a different pool this off-season
-
Need big 10 basketball enthusiast Mr Bread to weigh in this Indiana kid.
-
I see that Bates had committed to Texas out of HS, but de-committed when Shaka left, and signed with Indiana. Played at KC Piper and IMG Academy. So, looks like he has some talent. :dunno:
-
@8manpick what’s the skinny on Bates? 6’5 guards that can shoot 38% from three certainly don’t grow on trees.
-

They didn't care that he left, and they're not looking very good next season unless they make major waves in the portal. Never developed. He wasn't expected to be more than a minor rotation guy this season. You never know though. I imagine Tang is far more likely to get more out of a kid that needs inspired than Mike Woodson.
-
Watched Bates play probably 60 games the last two years… he is a baller. No fear player. Good scorer, weird fit on Indiana with TJD gobbling up so much of the offense and always being in the post and Hood-Schifino was very ball-dominant too. He found himself as the third guard behind Galloway because he didn’t defend as well and IU didn’t need the scoring. I think he would be a much better fit with us.

Cryer, Bates, and Carter in a 3 guard lineup makes me tingly down below

Yeah, seems clear Woodson wasn't a big fan. If Johnson hadn't gotten hurt, Bates would have largely been an afterthought.

I would be 100% fine with the majority of our roster being 1 or 2 year mercenaries from now on. Let's not waste time developing, let's just throw some guys together and see if it sticks.

It's going to be random, next year, like in football. I'm sure rivals will play twice but otherwise there will be no pattern, rhyme, or reason.
The bigger conversation is whether we'll play a 20 or 18 game conference season. I'd hope they have told the schools by now, but it hasn't been announced yet.

How did Oral Roberts get a 5-star in the first place? Or is that a "transfer rating"?
definitely transfer

It appears they’re going after 2 guards, with one being somewhat of a true point and the other being a long combo, or 2 combos. Not 100% sure the direction they want to go on the offensive end after a year with Nowell.
And then an athletic 5 that can pick and roll, rim run, etc.
Rumors there may be 4 spots open to fill w/ the portal, though.
-
Yeah, rumors about Anthony Thomas and apparently he wasn't at the team crawfish boil yesterday, whatever that's worth.

Colbert, NGuessan, Tomlin are all rim running, athletic bigs. Don't we have more of a need for a big bodied rebounder?

Colbert played 0 minutes last year, can’t expect him to come light the world on fire in 2023.

He’s the only real big on your list. Probably need another one.
-
Wichita State got a commit today from OU transfer point guard Bijan Cortes at the end of his weekend visit. Was hoping we'd have the same kind of news.
-
Tomlin is not a big. If he wants to play in the league he's either going to need to be a much better shooter or bulk up a bit and develop a back to the basket and mid-range game. He's the ultimate tweener right now
-
I kinda do expect Colbert to light the world on fire. Weird feeling that he will be my guy next season.

Alabama. NIL they say. Not that ksu couldn't, but wouldn't for him. Said he got told to go to bama. Tang must feel pretty good about Abmas or somebody else if so.

Word was that he left Bama unimpressed. And then things changed.

As we sit here today, my gut actually feels like we have a better shot of landing Estrada than Abmas.
Has Estrada cancelled his visit to MHK in 2 days?

Yeah, I'm not sure we're getting either. This is the second cycle that Tang has refused to get in a bidding war for a transfer. I think it's safe to say that he's not looking for someone who is holding out for top dollar. This is going to be Estrada's 4th school, no shade and I hope he gets his, but it's clear, for better or worse, Tang isn't going to negotiate dollar figures with these guys.

If we don’t get either, that would suuck, though.

Can we play with 4*-5* point guards at all 5 positions? Maybe we should just fill the entire bench with those?
Bill hiked the ball to a running back. Seems like this might be worth a shot. The basketball Wildcat. Let's just take them all.
Maybe having every single good PG in the entire nation would starve all other teams, then those teams would fail due to no ability to handle the ball.
We should look in to this.

We can’t get much worse at rebounding, might as well!

Think opening up that 4th spot is huge with this team.
Would be amazing to get Abmas and Perry, then I'd like to see maybe Jaylon Tyson and an athletic 5 (Sisse the only option?)

They might not rush in to filling that big spot until the draft withdraw deadline has passed
-
The 60 day window to enter the portal doesn’t close until May 11th so we have a ways to go before the known entities are final anyway. Agree they likely won’t fill all 4 spots very soon.
-
Probably never will happen and don't think I've ever heard anything, but got to think if any of the old Link Academy guys hit the portal, we'd have a shot?
Julian Phillips - 6'7 SF @ Tennessee - 5 Star, #15 overall recruit in class of 22
Tarris Reed - 6'10 Center @ Michigan - 4 Star, #35 overall recruit in class of 22
Felix Okpara - 6'11 Center @ Ohio State - 4 Star, #74 overall recruit in class of 22
Don't think the bigs fit what Tang wants to do, but you take Phillips the second he showed interest.

None, maybe negative amounts. He’s like 30 years old and the things counting against him he can’t do anything about.

i believe KJ is more valuable to KSU than any other league in the USA and would hope we could put a NIL deal together that makes that so. However he is probably at least a mid six figure guy overseas and i don't know if we have that kind of bag.

I think it's very close to none. If he came back and had a good year her can absolutely improve his stock. His age, currently 22, isn't as much of a favor because he doesn't have those years of wear and tear. What things do you think he can't do anything about? He absolutely has an NBA body, he's not going to get bodied by any small forward in the league not named LeBron James.

Not saying KJ can't make it. I think he can. But I don't think he's a typical NBA type these days. Tomlin is way more typical.

He’s not quick enough or has good enough handles to be a small forward and he’s a couple inches too short to be a true PF. He turns 23 before the draft and would be older than the average player on last years youngest NBA squad. I think he’s gotta go now, but it does intrigue me he hasn’t officially entered yet. I think he would get a waiver if it’s what he wants.

Forgive me here - I know basketballs are round and usually orange and that’s about the extent of what I know about bouncy-hoops but isn’t the 2nd round analagous to 6th/7th round in football?
-
Kinda - only first round picks are guaranteed contracts. Occasionally there are 2nd rounders that will get a 2 year guarantee but the majority of 2nd rounders are headed for a 2 way deal worth 200k at best
-
I think Keyontae would make the NBA roster for most teams. He’s physically pretty ready. I could see him as a first rounder for a playoff team with solid second unit minutes.
-
NBC did a study on 6 years of 2nd round picks from 2012-2018 and found that 91 of 132 players got a guaranteed contract of at least one year before they left the NBA. League minimum for a rookie is 900k. Two way contract worked out pretty well for Claws. Westicles made some good money from a 2nd round pick too.

I think he could improve his footwork/defense and ability to deal with doubles with another year. I think he could improve because he took so much time off. But he should probably go, those things can probably improve more on a 2-way contract.

trying to get KJ to come back is not having what's best for his future in mind, and is an extremely selfish move by our coaches. there isn't much more he can do to increase his stock, and probably will be valued less because of age. he's projected high 2nd round, he should go. unless he can get a nijel-like nil deal somewhere, that's the only thing that makes sense.

I disagree with this. There is a chance for him to improve plus make about = money than he would being a mid to late 2nd round draft pick. He has plenty of reason to stay. KJ had some raw moments last year that he can clean up and possibly get himself into 1st round which would be a much bigger payday.

I can't believe that there are people who seriously think a third team all American, in any sport, can get 7 figures from a pay to play deal. The college athletes getting the most nil money are endorsers.
JFC. Stay safe in your bygone world. Pack got 400k a year ago. If Key entered the portal, he'd be one of the top five targets. Yeah someone would make the money available for a talented scorer, rebounder, solid teammate.
If you think that Keyontae Johnson or any other transfer could get 7 figures on a nil deal, I'm not going to convince you otherwise. However, I'll point out that the $400,000 a year deal that you mentioned that Pack, a consensus top 5 transfer a year ago, got is the largest single confirmed nil deal for any college athlete in any college sport. You are proposing that a third team all american could get 150% more than that.

I think Perry will commit monday. there was a teaser this morning on his twitter about "dudes."
I think he already announced a decision day of tomorrow (Tuesday). Although I'm guessing the staff already knows.

Being among the top choices for top transfers all the time is pretty neat.

Sorry if luke’d
Not a transfer. 2023 recruit who was committed to Texas. He played with David Castillo is the U17 World Cup team last summer. Hoping that gives us a really good chance. Would also be a major FU to Texas for stealing Abmas.

You know those dollar figures on that evaluation isn't what they're actually getting, right? Did you see who #1 is on that list? He scored 34 points this past season. How much money do you think he's getting from the Northwestern State nil collective?

I never know what to believe when these NIL numbers get thrown around, but the RUMOR (again, not confirmed) is that KU was offering (not KU directly, of course) essentially $2MM/yr. to Hunter Dickinson.

Heard that figure, too. And apparently it's not going to be enough.

What is the ROI on a $2m/yr payment for a player and getting knocked out of the tournament on the first weekend?

There's a reason these numbers never get confirmed despite it being in the best interests of the people making the offer to do so. John Ruiz was so public because he was sending a message. It's interesting that we know of every school offering all the walk ons $20,000 or every school giving all their offensive linemen $25,000 but no one can get any of these mega deals confirmed. The two most talked about 7 figure deals, Quinn Ewers and Jaden Rashada, actually 8 figures, both had deals that were completely fabricated.

Are these deals exclusive deals? I always figured that since the collectives are just legal pay-to-play deals they were favorable contracts for the players and they could go sign other deals too. I envision these deals like the old work for a booster but never show up deals of the past. Like, can Pak go sign another $25K deal with Scuzzy Car Dealership of Miami or whatnot?

They're definitely not exclusive but we also don't seem to be at the point where athletes, specifically men's athletes are putting together endorsement packages. The only men's athlete I can think of that had a significant endorsement packages was Bryce Young with Dr. Pepper, Nissan, Beats by Dre, and a few others. Even with that Saban said young was "approaching seven figures." Women's athletes are getting a lot more of these multi package enforcement deals, but they aren't getting close to seven figures. Angel Reese and Olivia Dunn might be at seven figures or close to it but that comes from their social media engagement and it's gonna be real hard for a men's college athlete to get that.

Gotta let 'em go when they wanna make bad choices for themselves.
Coach wants to celebrate a 6th place Big 12 conference finish by taking his team out to Applebee's, only to crash into a runaway tumbleweed or some tweaker driving his Toyota Tundra on the wrong side of a sandblasted farm-to-market road, and Transfer Portal his way from Hell on Earth to literal Hell?
Well... Good luck, Grant. Or Greg, Geoff, whatever his name was. Have fun in Amarillo's septic tank. Hope you get out before your wife leaves you, or child protective services takes your kids away for abuse, given that you're making them live in Lubbock now.
As for Perry? If he wants to trade God's most magnificent shade of green for some off-brand polyester Barney cosplay outfit instead? If he wants to leave the program that won college basketball's TRUE national championship (pre-shot clock and integration era) for some other tournament's also-ran? If he'd rather leave Texas's premiere basketball school for the 3rd proudest basketball institution in Kansas?
Well, good luck to him, I suppose. And to you fellows, of course. Strong contenders for my second-favorite college fandom on the internet. Enjoy our sloppy seconds, as we'll just move on to some newer, more supple and loyal teen instead.
[Seriously... Good kid, good player. Hope he does well for you guys.]

abmas (the guy we really wanted) took less money to go to texas apparently (good source)
-
Better source is Tang and staff cooled on Abmas when they became aware Perry was a Cat for the asking. The bidding war for Abmas was between Texas and WSU, when his former coach made a push to sign him Ultimately, Abmas chose Texas for less money. The only reason Perry was late in announcing was he wantedd to be part of a North Texas NIT celebration before making his departure official.
Meanwhile, Oscar is still a losery dork with no coach job on the horizon in total disbelief of Tang's ability to recruit to Manhattan.

"we didn't want him anyways"
not surprising from the worst fans in the world
-
It's so thrilling to be excited about K-State hoops in May and witnessing a coach building on success. One can just hear the phones ringing and internet buzzing with season-ticket requests upon word that yet another dude will be wearing purple. To think, all it took was a visionary coach with drive, sincerity and -- as Pullen said -- a concept and faith in building a team identity. With that, true Wildcat fns who rooted for the Cats through a decade of what all must admit was uninspired, tepid and somolant leadership rejoiced in the vibrant charisma and instant success of the new regime.
The days of constant whining and excuse making now seem as remote as the Dark Ages, which they were for anyone longing for entertaining and imaginative hoops in Manhattan. The losery dire woe-is-me drumbeat has been so thankfully replaced by a confident staff willing to make bold promises of success and conceding the advantage to no one. I'm irreligious as a stone, but for this new and fresh atmosphere I shout "Praise be."

It was only about money. His family wanted him at K-State until the NIL numbers came into play w/ UT and at the same time Cats U knew we had Perry, so we backed off. Abmas sucked crap when he actually had to play against decent competition this year.
Also, cheers to @deputy dawg for dropping some Kansas D2 JUCO knowledge on your heads.

That’s some serious coping right there

Jalen Wilson came back, why can't Keyontae
Keyontae could potentially make more at KSU than as a G-leaguer next year.
Jalen Wilson has always been an interesting player.
He played in 100+ KU games and get this, had 2 dunks... TOTAL. For a 6'8 wing, he has a below the rim game but has NBA skills, it will be interesting to see how he transitions and how he's guarded. Has he ever been a projected 1st rounder through the years?
As for Keyontae, I had a whole bit typed out on him... but I'll just say I want him to do what makes him genuinely happy and I'll be good with it, even more so if either decision leads to him getting into a 1st round spot with the $3.5m-ish minimum guarantee.

Desi just posted he's entering the NBA draft. I thought he had already used all the eligibility possible, including COVID, and this was his final year no matter what. So we could potentially get Keyontae AND Desi back?!?!

I don’t follow any college basketball outside the cats. But I see they both averaged 5 assists somehow together. Better shooting splits. Also they are 6’0 and 6’3. Don’t know about Butler but I know Mitchell has a good reputation on defense at the NBA level. But looks like they both averaged 2 steals to Perry’s 1. So basically they are miles better than Perry in literally every single way. Great comparison 👍
-
Perry is more efficient than any guard on our current roster. Scoring 17+ ppg on only 11 attempts pg, shooting 7 3's pg at a higher percentage than anyone on our team (41+%)
I'm not sure someone knows what "volume scorer" means.
-
Stunted = focused on 5' 10"
Shooter Jones = focused on high efficiency scoring and shot %
There's something Freudian going on here but I can't quite put my finger on it?

I can't believe that there are people who seriously think a third team all American, in any sport, can get 7 figures from a pay to play deal. The college athletes getting the most nil money are endorsers.
JFC. Stay safe in your bygone world. Pack got 400k a year ago. If Key entered the portal, he'd be one of the top five targets. Yeah someone would make the money available for a talented scorer, rebounder, solid teammate.
"The people hating on me would leave their job right now for a $10,000 increase," Dickinson said. "At Michigan, I got less than six figures. I got less than six figures at Michigan for the year."
Consensus second-team All-American (2021)

I'm sure we'll still hear this absolute fantasy about third team all americans being made transfer portal millionaires.

I think players make a lot more money transferring than they do staying where they are at. Dickenson is rumored to be making a crap ton at KU.
-
For sure. However, the talk of Keyontae "definitely getting seven figures" if he came back is real silly, there's not that much money out there for these guys. A million plus dollars is a lot of rough ridin' money.
-
Dont worry. It's not your money.
-
Yea I've heard the NIL #'s fans get from recruiting outlets are pretty skewed. Not sure if Hunter is getting $2m/yr, but I would bet a Nigel Pack $400k/yr figure is realistic.
-
When is the deadline to withdraw from the draft?
-
May 31st for college players.

Won’t see us get a transfer wing until after that date I would imagine. Both Key and Phillips would both be in that category.

Phillips entering the portal is pretty much telling everyone he won't be entering the draft. I could see him committing somewhere before end of month (unless he is truly considering us). We should start seeing player decisions after the combine which is 15th-21st.

I thought I read that the guy who was behind Nigel’s NIL, as well as a few other athletes’, went bankrupt and the NILs disappeared?

I thought I remembered hearing that Nijel's (Christ, you guys can't even spell your own guy's name) NIL package ended up being vouchers for up to 400,000 crispy tacos from Taco Bell, if used during the duration of his Miami career.

There's no way in hell that dude is getting $2 million a year. Nijel's $400,000 a year was confirmed by he and John Ruiz. The company isn't a ponzi scheme, per se, but no one know's what John Ruiz's company LifeWallet does. The company is publicly traded and as of a couple of weeks ago, it was trading at a whole 50 cents a share.

I think players make a lot more money transferring than they do staying where they are at. Dickenson is rumored to be making a crap ton at KU.
Pretty true for all jobs in general.

Keyontae didn't make the scrimmage roster at the draft combine. He did get measured, short with long arms.

I don't think he's getting any taller with another year. maybe his freak arms will grow longer though? not sure when arms stop growing.

Arms are like ears. He might have a 10' wingspan when he reaches age 80.

David will start. People are putting way too much on Colbert based on 12 minutes of an exhibition game. He red shirted for a reason. He's going be a real easy scapegoat for people with unrealistic expectations.
-
While not positional, I do think the late portal adds of Key and getting Desi on campus led to the RS of Colbert/Taj.
I know Tang and co. have talked at length about getting old and staying old, and having 6 seniors on campus probably made them consider some class distribution and gaining a year with those in the program, even more so than if they could've contributed some minutes this year.
-
Class distribution is a non factor in the current transfer environment imo.
-

For most places, of course. And it's too early to tell here.. but Scott Drew and from most comments, Tang, still value development and keeping guys in the program for many years.
They want guys with experience, and prefer it from within their program or getting older experience through the portal.

I have possible unrealistic expectations, but I promise to go easy on him. He just looks very explosive, strong, physical, and aggressive. If he has some decent touch and decent feel for the flow of his teammates and the game, he could be amazing. All based on 12 min of exhibition. Purple glasses.

I have unrealistic expectations and will demand that he never sees the court again early in the season when he is sucking. I will then eat crow like a starving fool later when he is winning games for us. I have an abundance of experience on this matter.

Duke is going to be a no go for Udeh, as the school's admission's office said he can't qualify due to the low academic standing of the KU diploma mill classes he took. I suppose we can get him qualified with summer classes, so good news maybe.

The nature of the portal is that it is equal parts rejects and players looking to cash in with NIL deads or moving up to play in perceived more prestigious levels. Taking a McD AA who was recruited over by a sick coach in decline who doesn't want to expend the energy to coach em up would be a great move.

From the sounds of it, we have plenty of NIL money to be competitive with these portal guys.
Have been told some of them we missed out on early were due to this staff refusing to get into a bidding war. Approaching with the best and a knowingly competitive offer, and if the player/player reps start an auction/highest bidder process we drop out.
So we might've simply lost out on some, and might've dropped out on some due to the staff holding strong. It's looking damn good now, but could be really frustrating to have the money to get a couple guys but whiffing on all by refusing to play the game.

-Touissant and Wague both high on the cats, sounds like tang had been talking to them immediately after they entered portal
-They visited MHK and loved the crap out of it, Wague committed in person to the staff, Touissant wanted to but didn't
-For Wague, it appears Bama continued to throw NIL offers his way and he was convinced (by himself, or with involvement of "handlers", who knows) to take a visit like immediately after he left MHK
-For Touissant, cats were his favorite and he wanted to commit but he had a (significantly?) higher NIL offer from Tech and chose to take it
tl;dr cats didn't match NIL offers and this received 10x more attention than it would have at any other time of the year

Who is coming back to the team for next year? Cam Carter, Dai Dai, Dorian. Anyone else? Kaluma is listed as a junior but I've heard he will be gone. I would be surprised if Buddy Rich, RJ Jones, Taj Manning don't portal out based on the amount of playing time they have gotten.
-
I'd wager Colbert is back. I would be surprised if RJ portals out but maybe.
RJ
Colbert
Cam
Dai Dai
Finister
Manning
Castillo
6 new dudes
-
I hope rich stays. He is obvs wildly athletic, but he hasn't shown any over the top skill yet, which is what you would expect to see from a freshman that would get much playing time in our conf. Same with RJ.
I hope they have folks that help them understand that. I don't think either would have gotten meaningfully more PT anywhere else at this level this year.
-
So we are thinking that Kaluma is gone? To be a Euroballer? For an NIL payday at another school?
-
It's probably me turning a blind eye to the portal era, but I will be sad if that many leave. I just feel like if you're jumping ship all the time, it will stunt your development.
-

Yes he will go pro in some fashion. If NBA doesn't want him then Europe.

RJ-D2 aren’t (isn’t) going anywhere

come on man. what a dumb comment. we may see a dude or two leave but it won’t be due to lack of playing time for true freshman.
our staff has built relationships with these players and their families. there’s nothing but minutes on the floor to be earned and it’s not like the staff is out there recruiting over any of them.
our staff develops guards, it’s what they do. transferring out solves nothing. dorian knew it and has put in the work.
-
IMO, what we need to have a better team next year is:
1. Doran, Dai Dai, and Colbert to continue on the arc their improvement has taken so far
2. Portal in a PG that is seasoned, or Ques stays and plays that role
3. Portal in a big that is ready for minutes. With Will gone, we need someone that can swap time with Colbert.
4. Portal in some points. If Kaluma leaves, we have to find points. With him and TP gone, at that point, we have to find something like 1/3rd of our points out of who is left or from the portal.
-
That's also assuming an SEC team doesn't throw a bag at Cam. I think it's going to be an uphill climb for Tang to nail the portal this year.

Outside looking in, Cam is as bought in as anyone ever has been.

So was Kobe Savage until Oregon threw a bag of cash at him. New world out there, but I definitely hope to see Cam back next year. I would like to see DNG too but he's probably a risk as well, I could see him getting a Massoud type deal to really help someone next year.

Isn't N'Guessan out of eligibility? If not, I certainly want him and Cam back.

The progression of Marquis and Cam with this staff has been great. I really like all the guards and small forwards currently on the roster and hope they continue to develop in the program but I'm not sure I see them developing into guys who start for a team that contends for the Big XII championship. I would be very happy to be proven wrong about all of that.
-
I think Dai Dai could def be a high quality Big12 pg. I think he could be great.
-
The roster isn't going to have a ton of turnover, there's no way in hell 6 guys are going in the portal. The only freshmen who will leave are ones who are asked to go and I don't see much, if any, of that either. They worked really hard to get the roster balance that they have. They aren't going to run a bunch of dudes off they just recruited and guys like Buddy Rich aren't going to be in a hurry to transfer to the Ohio Valley Conference. If they held on to Finister and Manning, I doubt they'll be getting rid of any of the freshmen on the roster now.
-
An announcer said during one of our games said there were six freshman starting for conference teams (at least at that time). A five-star like Omaha Beliew isn't getting much court time. In a league that values experienced portal transfers, freshmen are going to have to learn patience.

they’ll be good. i don’t know if people here understand the size of the hole TP is trying to patch by playing out of position.
-
We need a stud pg rental to bridge the gap to Castillo but a 2025 guard lineup of Castillo, Dai Dai, and RJ is juicy.
-
so much talk ITT about who might be leaving (loser/victim mentality) and not enough chatter about who we should be targeting in the love portal (winner/alpha mentality).
who are some of our top true PG targets that we might have an actual shot of portalling next season so that i can start getting excited and doing a deep dive into vague twitter posts?
-
is Buddy a potential redshirt candidate?
is that potentially part of the reason for his usage
-
I don't see how they could with as many games as he's played but they got Dorian one for last year so who knows.
-
Finister played in six games lastr year. Rich has already played in nine. Don't know where the NCAA cutoff is.

Dorian also didn't play any games past December 11th. Buddy isn't playing because he's down the rotation, there's no conspiracy or deep thought here. I don't understand everyone gassing him up so much, we haven't seen him do anything but dunk.

I don't know if RaeQuan Battle has a good shooting % on those jump shots from beyond the arc, but he almost led West Virginia to a win against us with those. I've never seen a player shoot jump shots from beyond the arc very frequently, but Battle did it consistently and with a high % against us. Plus, he was pulling down rebounds like crazy. We need a dude like that.

He was nailing step-back fadeaway 3s consistently in that comeback. I can't imagine he's usually that good but it was an impressive showing for sure.

You guys won't believe this but there is a 6'4 shooting guard with great athleticism in the portal named Marcus Foster

If Glover gets a med-redshirt, will he stick around? Ames is certainly solid.

I am pretty old and pretty removed from having actually played basketball, but when I played the 2 was a shooting guard. So, if that is still accurate, it is 100% a high priority for us.

PG and 4, highest priority and impossible to be anything else based on today’s roster.
RJ D2 should both be playing their minutes at the 2 next year and finister as well.

meh, it is what it is. He needed a reduced role anyway, him playing 36 minutes a game is crazy

Didn't see Cam leaving. He was kind of frustrating the last month of the season, but was hoping he could smooth out his rough spots and give us solid senior leadership next year. Oh well. life in the portal age.

so the rest of our guards are point guards? that’s something to consider, I guess.
D2 is a PG, but not ready for the minutes
the other guards, including TP, were two’s attempting to play the one. i guess that you could say they’re “shoot first point guards”, but even that’s a giant stretch.
this is all my jmo of course but arguing the difference between who’s a one versus a two is really just noise.
whatever you want to call it, we need someone who can handle the ball pressure and run the offense. TP was not that guy in any way. he is a catch and shoot dude, as are the rest of them. any of our guys can chuck the ball up at a good enough pace when and if they’re fed the ball in the offense.
it’s hard for me to believe that anyone who watched this team this season would conclude that we what we need most is anything but a point guard, but different strokes

in summary, not having an experienced point guard is less of a concern for our friends here than having young but experienced guards who can play the two.
since most 1’s can play the two, but most two’s can’t play the one, this logic is solid AF.
this type of hard hitting take is why I paid the big bucks to join goemaws founders club

I'm not a 'clams level expert, but ideally you want to be able to play 1-3 interchangeably. I also agree with clams that it's kind of silly to rigidly box players into positions 1-3.

Harris is coming back. Dickinson is a question mark, but I suspect he'll be back. KJ Adams is back. Most of our known losses aren't substantial (minus McCullar). We just need to improve across the board. I don't know much about the incoming freshmen, but they rarely contribute in Self's system.

Maybe need the dax symbol on this, but seeing our NIL numbers (well members) trying to get to 500, like how strong are we realistically in the NIL space? I know the official NIL is not anything to base it all on, as some donor is always willing to toss money around. But anyone with a pulse on how we are overall? I'd imagine the answer is "perfectly average" but genuinely curious.
I was/am hoping with the facilities push nearing the end the money can now be turned to NIL and coaches contracts.

fun fact his shot in that video was real time and not slow motion

He's the closest thing we had to a legit NBA player so I'd be happy to have him back.

In December, a rabid KSU fan assured me that he would basically replace Keyontae Johnson.
That being said, I like him a ton and would love to see him suit up for the Cats for another season.

pclams raises a valid point. Folks, there's a reason 'hattvegas is known as the hollywood of the midwest. Personally, i think the Alliance between ksucatsu and Showbiz is an asset that greatly outweighs its downsides, but we have to be realistic, and that reality is that if someone wants to get away from the bright lights, the cameras, the pop of ratzi, then ksu just probably isn't the place for them. and that's okay!

Do you guys think in situations like this, Tang had Quis reach out to him and say how much the staff could do for his game? And do you think Dug watched him last year and though "eff yeah"?

I've been thinking about this, as well. It would suck to get recruited, come in as a freshman, buy-in, practice hard to earn playing time and then have players transfer in who are guaranteed playing time/usage in the program. I guess it is just a fact of life in the NIL/portal world but it still has to suck for these guys.
-
The thing I like about this guy is he can actually get past a defender off the dribble
If he doesn't bring the ball up the court and dribble just past the 3 point line right into 3 defenders and then just give one of them the ball, its an improvement.

Eh. They practice together and it becomes obvious who should be on the floor. It's only an issue if the coaches are guaranteeing playing time and putting the worse player on the floor out of some sort of obligation.

Physically and emotionally exhaustedr, and had to play the late game against Xavier, as well (just as we did last year and in 88 against Purdue).

What really hurts about our last four E8's (although I lost the ability to feel pain after the 2010 loss) is that it wasn't like we had the 1992 Duke team blocking our path to the F4 in any of those matchups. We faced a lower seed in all of those games.

Now that Tang has succeeded in brining the President to heel, and secured more money for all things bb, I expect to see some high dollar signing and some sweet sweet oops next season.
I dream of Rich running the court and Dug, Dai2, Castillo, etc hitting him from 35’ out with a poster oop.

Duke forward
https://247sports.com/Player/Mark-Mitchell-46077127/ (https://247sports.com/Player/Mark-Mitchell-46077127/)
Mark Mitchell, a former five-star McDonald's All-American and two-year starter for the Duke basketball program, entered the transfer portal earlier this week. Now, the 247Sports Crystal Ball projects the 6-foot-9, 230-pound forward to take his talents to Kansas State, albeit with only one entered prediction thus far.

How many open spots do we have left?
Sounds like Kaluma is leaning towards returning.
Dug
DDA
Glover
RJ
Castillo
Taj
Kaluma
Buddy
CJ
DNG
I think we are heavily pursuing Cliff from Rutgers so that would be 11. Baba Miller would be 12. Hopefully 13 is some under the radar mysrecruit with a high ceiling.
Really shaping up nicely

Is the recruiting advantage that other programs would start backing off? I don’t really get the strategy.

The story is Beard and his staff circulated that Mark Mitchell had silently committed to KSU. They did it to put doubt in the mind of MBJ, so they could close him on his visit. Fitz and his flunkies lapped it up and put in a crystal ball prediction for Mitchell to KSU.

There is no downside to declaring for the draft under the current rules. He can go through the process and withdraw his name a month from now and still play college ball.

IMO going through the process and withdrawing is good for most with pro aspirations, even if they're likely to play in Europe

i’m not sure what all of the nuances are but i’d be curious as to what the upfront costs are to him/other players who have no real shot of getting drafted. the long term benefit is obvious as it could lead to FA opportunities that otherwise might not exist but just wondering how it impacts him now, if at all.
-
I'm assuming RJ bolting is a good sign for us snagging Battle and/or Hausen.
I'm surprised it too him this long to leave. He's behind Dai Dai already. We already brought in Dug and CJ to play in front of him. Castillo will play in front of him. We're still looking at adding Battle who would take more of his minutes and Hausen who he would perhaps share time with. Tang and Co are trying hard not to play him next year.

I think the staff is being strategic with announcements but my money is on Hausen and Battle being done deals already. Not sure what to think on Kaluma/Baba Miller.

i’d prefer that the ncaa issues each player one set of uniforms (home and away) for each division 1 school. the player can then filter through his/her uniform closet and select the appropriate uniforms for the school which they’re currently enrolled in. after eligibility, the players will simply discard any unused uniforms.

that does make more sense.

of course it does, and that’s why they probably won’t do it

I blame Linton. fuckers kicks those who want to play for the Cats off the team, for one. Also missing the tourney took some steam out of the program. Had we won a couple of games in March with Tomlin on the team, the off-season vibe would have been much different. So again, eff Lint trap.

I've been thinking about this, as well. It would suck to get recruited, come in as a freshman, buy-in, practice hard to earn playing time and then have players transfer in who are guaranteed playing time/usage in the program. I guess it is just a fact of life in the NIL/portal world but it still has to suck for these guys.

what is the point in following high school recruiting at this moment in time? Any recruit who is so so will probably be gone and any recruit who whips ass most likely will transfer out.
-
I think the only way to even remotely "fix" this is to limit it on the school side...limit how many transfers a school can take in a give year. A "demand" reduction.

The only way to fix it is to put a minimum and maximum on NIL. If you get caught going over the maximum, you get a 2 year ban on post season play.

I think a combo of this needs to happen. Like a school can only get like 3 (or w/e) transfers per year. A transfer can only enter the portal once. You can only spend up to $2 mill or w/e you want on it.
The only loop hole is for if you are on a team and the HC leaves. Then you can transfer out in the portal w/o using that one transfer, and that school with a new HC is not limited to transfer amounts for that first season.

Yeah I’m a little worried this could ruin the sport if left unchecked. Right now it’s the worst of both worlds because at least in the pros you have contracts and (in the NFL at least) franchise tagging.
Potentially starting every year with a completely new roster takes 90% of the fun out of being any kind of fan but especially a college fan.

Should we just designate Arkansas, North Texas, and another one or two schools as our farm teams and transfer kids down and up as they need?

Agreed, it went from "oh boy I look forward to seeing this kid play for 4 years, will be sad when he leaves" to "I'll be happy if we actually stays." Like I'm glad they have more choice and are getting paid, but it's such a free for all.

This transfer\NIL era only works long term if you make the players employees and then collectively bargain in the rules suggested above. College football and basketball have to transition to a pro-model. It is the only way to maintain a fair balance of compensation and freedom for the players and a product that fans want to watch.

In all seriousness, when you really boil down to it, what's even the point of college sports if they do that? It's essentially just minor leagues with an option to draft AFTER (as opposed to before) seeing them play amongst a more competitive and thinned herd.

but that’s not what houstoncat93 said. there will undoubtedly be fewer fans because of this level of player churn, which is the point
-
I think the contracts idea is the only way to satisfy both sides of the equation. Your freshman contract could be written comparable to a rookie contract. And you lose NIL if you agree to play 2 years but leave beforehand (unless the coach leaves) or something like that. Otherwise every kid not starting is going to transfer, and 2-3 starters are going to transfer every year.

This is the best things will ever be for us moving forward. We can put a nice run together with the current staff and rules. If schools start signing contracts and paying players, the Big 12 will stop being competitive.

We are still probably better off with Tang. From the guy I know that has interacted with Tang a few times, Tang has a personality that makes you feel like you both already know each other and is very likable. Same guy told me Reem is even more so like that. Those are great attributes if we have to sell our team to a new 7 or 8 kids annually. Especially if Tang's new contract has a significant NIL component.

This is probably true, I've interacted with Reem twice with my kid and it was the same thing both times. He went above and beyond. Like from just saying, "hey coach Reem" to him immediately running over like he knew us and talking to my kid for a few minutes. Seems like a legit nice dude and that has to resonate with players. Money usually trumps that unfortunately.

Guys love Tang, they just aren't going to shoot off their own foot if the bag is available elsewhere.
Yeah, I don't blame them at all. Most of these guys will probably make more playing college ball than any pro ball.
-
I think we can dismiss as a myth the idea that Tang builds a special bond with his players. Maybe Tomlin, but Linton crap on that.
Uncontrolled NIL destroyed the idea of school or coach loyalty when dealing with 18 year old kids.

Do any of the AD folks still post here? If so, I have an NIL idea:
They need to set up an account that can receive venmo, text donations, etc via mobile, then flash that on the jumbo screens at all games so that fans can donate in the heat of the moment, while they are all horned up, to the KState Collective, or whatever they are rough ridin' calling it. They should flash that on the screen after every touch down, sack, alley oop, etc. It should be on all screens as fans enter and exit all games.
Would be a good idea to figure out how to milk for the NIL money since that is the future.

NIL is a billionaires playground, any attempts at grass roots fundraising are just token effort to go through the motions.

Why would donations to Ahearn Fund be any different? Just because they’re tax deductible they’re more suitable for the little guy?
-
I'm sure the vast majority of Ahearn fund raising is from high net worth individuals. Damn near everything is named after Carl Ice.

I don't know my answer to this, and am not trying to imply anything by asking; do either Dai Dai or RJ stay if Tang doesn't flirt with Arkansas?
-
I kind of last track, but didn't they bring in like 3 portal guards? Maybe that's why the decided to leave? Or it could have just been to try and increase their NIL.

Don't believe that had anything to do with it, imHo.

3maw podcast from yesterday made it sound like he was mad they brought in competition at pg. They said a family member made a similar comment on Fitz' latest YT video.
-
Dai Dai and RJ were moving backward on the depth chart with Dug, Castillo, CJ and seemingly Battle. They went from 3rd and 4th at the position to probably 4th and 6th. We'll see how the rest of the roster fills out, but we'd probably need to run 3 guards quite a bit (which we might do) for Dai Dai and RJ to even get the minutes they got last year.

I don't remember where I saw it, but I saw someone post something saying that Dai Dai was told he would still be starting most likely, but he was still advised by his ppl to leave. No clue on validity.

Battle doesn't seem like a thing anymore. Visiting Gonzaga this weekend after Nova a few days ago.

That is weird. He was already getting 20 mins a game so he had to know he was still going to get his playing time.
-

The story is he wasn't very thorough in his original recruitment and promised his mother he would take all the visits. If you believe such things he already silently committed to KSU and told them he is just going to take the two visits to make mom happy.

I seriously doubt the coaches promised anyone anything other than a chance to compete for time. Dai Dai didn't want to be put in a position where he had a bunch of juniors and seniors competing for minutes he felt like he earned. I'm also guessing there's a home component to this and he's going to end up at a school closer to Chicago.

I def agree what you said makes more sense. Really hate to see him go.

Not sure how many bigs are in the portal, but might be worth trying to entice Colbert to stick around.

We already landed Baye Fall

Yea but they better be an upgrade over Colbert

Are we in on any non-cliff bigs? I am not sure who is available.

Is it hurting us being kids first visit? Especially with NIL. Are we simply putting our number out there before others have made their number public? Would we be better off being a kids last visit and Price Is Righting their asses?

Like I know all this is frustrating and disheartening recently but my god the twitter reaction (and yes i know it's twitter, overreaction is the name of the game) is over the top. It sucks, but where have these bozos been when all the KITN of football recruiting was going on during the second part of the LHCBS part 2. Maybe they are too young to remember.

i don't really know what other twitter fanbases are like, but kstate twitter is bad and makes me upset.
-

Same.
Last I heard Cam, Colbert, RJ and Ames were leaving and we had a bunch of dudes coming in. Then Kaluma enters the portal. I’m guessing some of the additional dudes cat fans were hoping for have decided to take their duding to various other duding hotspots.

We were thought to be landing Khalif Battle and Cliff Omoruyi. Battle just announced for Gonzaga and Cliff just announced for Bama.

The past three weeks is why Tang will leave, if anyone is interested in a coach who can't close.

Big 12 changed format to 3 v3 right? If not we might need a couple more dudes or even just some warm bodies.
-
Dai Dai, Kaluma, and Colbert need to reconsider
-
All-Big 12 teams or at least HM:
Castillo
McDaniel
Big 12 caliber starter/potential HM:
N'Guessan
CJ Jones
B12 ready contributor:
Hausen
Development worth trying to keep around/less than 10 minutes a game:
Fall
Rich
Manning
We need two more guys in the top two tiers and probably one in the contributor tier (or Fall/Rich/Manning to step up a level) to have a shot at the NCAAs, IMO. We need two scorers and two rebounders, which Toppin and the UNCW guy could cover.

Might have to start throwing money at players already committed to other schools

it sucks that no one wants to play at k-state regardless of how much money we throw at them.

Probably not. We got two guys who were committed elsewhere at this time last year, McNair and Glover. There are also the guys in the portal who are testing out the NBA right now. These plenty of guys still in the portal as well.

specialteamsu is an embarrassment. I think the kid is still in college. The guys my age, from KU, who he's battling with, are worse. Grown ass men, with kids and a mortgage battling burner accounts on twitter is sad as eff.

Hawkins? Probably just a dumb rumor tho.

What's the scout on Hawkins? I assume you watched him play some.

He's pretty all around good at all aspects. He's not the one to carry a team on his back when you need scores, but he'll fill up the stat sheets.

i think we have a problem that even money can’t solve.
