[stunted]

so our best transfer really is going to be a 5'10" volume scoring shooting guard

 

It's of absolutely no conseunce that you don't remember how effective sharpshooing PGs Jared Butler and Davion Mitchell were in Baylor's national championship run, but true K-State fans can find assurance that Tang surely does.

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 👍

[Shooter Jones]

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.

[KSNimrod]

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?

You're the victim of a Basketball Jones.

I think the problem the staff has to solve is who is going to get this short stack his clean 3 point looks.  It ain’t going to be Cam Carter.

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?!?!

Nope, he's done. He played 3 full seasons at Arkansas, one at Arkansas State, one at K-State.

I wish Desi had unlimited seasons of Cat eligibility.

He does, just not on the court

DeJuan Gordon just committed to the 4th program of his career

[dal9]

i believe he was at NMSU, not UNM, which either "yikes" or "poor guy"

[wetwillie]

Hopefully this helps kill anyone’s perception that players only get 1 free transfer

[MakeItRain]

i believe he was at NMSU, not UNM, which either "yikes" or "poor guy"

Yeah, I had no idea he was there, probably not great that he wasn't one of the player's on the record about the crap that was going on there, another fresh story released yesterday.

but nor was he one of the 3 who got sued i'm pretty sure

So the hot rumor now is that former 5 star Julian Phillips, who recently entered the portal, is a K-State lean. Makes sense as we were in on him last year before he committed to Tennessee.

Good to see Bill Self can't just slow play these McDAA's as freshmen and sophomores anymore in order to keep them under the radar and have them all 4 years.

Oh for sure, Udeh would have been a great 4th year guy for them.

[MakeItRain]

I think it's a very easy bet that if Keynote went to the portal he could get $1M

https://www.on3.com/nil/news/top-10-on3-nil-valuations-entering-mens-college-basketball-season-hunter-dickinson/

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?

The on3 nil evaluation is almost entirely about social media following, that's completely different that what someone is getting from pay-to-play.
https://www.on3.com/nil/news/about-on3-nil-valuation-per-post-value/

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)
Big Ten Freshman of the Year (2021)
2× First-team All-Big Ten (2021, 2023)
Big Ten All-Defensive Team (2022)
Big Ten All-Freshman Team (2021)
Second-team All-Big Ten (2022)

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

[Pete]

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.

[MakeItRain]

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.

[EMAWzifried]

Dont worry. It's not your money.

[WildcatNkilt]

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. 

[wetwillie]

When is the deadline to withdraw from the draft?

[WildcatNkilt]

May 31st for college players.
