McNeeley revealed the news to ESPN's Paul Biancardi.

"Moving forward, I have had contact with several schools, including Kentucky, UConn, Kansas, Houston and many others," McNeeley said. "New Michigan head coach Dusty May said I was his first recruiting call. That was special."

No, not really. Those are just a random wish list of guys in the portal or uncommitted recruits that we have been rumored to have contacted.

Zeke Mayo lists his final 4 as Kansas OU Texas or Creighton.

I like our chances if he decides not to stay in the draft. Lawrence native.

Thanks for sharing!

He's a 3pt shooter. Although his % isn't great, he isn't afraid to shoot them. He's got a lot of games his first 2 years with 5+ 3pt attempts.

Yes Clifford omoruyi would be an awesome get. But is hunter going to be here? We are probably stuck with him. No sure how the hell we convince the top defensive center to come here too and split minutes with

We are stuck with hunter and KJ next year. I'd love to have a 5 that can play D and a 4 that can shoot, but it's going to be tough to recruit them to come back up the 5 and 4 we have that can't do those things

what's the reason given for this transfer this time?

Drake to KU was his undergrad one-timer and KU to WSU was his grad transfer, I assume.

So is this a medical redshirt? Covid? Other hardship? Something else yet?

Omaha Biliew - top 10 nationally last year out of HS, burger boy, from nearby-ish Des Moines. Couldn't manage to get more than spot minutes for ISU.

Do we want?

Seems like he'd be a good replacement for Kj if he's willing to be an understudy for a year.

I get a twitch in my eye when I consider a "burger boy [who] [c]ouldn't manage to get more than spot minutes." Too many of those for us lately.

I know you mean the ones we've had initially.

But in terms of burger boys that transferred to Kansas, the only one I can think of is Malik Newman. But he got more than spot minutes at Miss St.

Malik was awesome the last 40 or 50 days. We could've used him this year

He'd be the perfect compliment to dajuan. We need a guy like that

You'd think if Elmarko or Jamari are going to enter the portal that they'd do it sooner rather than later.

I am hopeful both stay, even though I think the path to big minutes for both of them is (hopefully) a difficult one due to the influx of talent I am expecting this off season.

I want Andrej Stojakovic and Zeke Mayo.

Also, not sure why we wouldn't at least take a shot at some of the top guys in the portal Aj Storr and Cliff Omoruyi. No reason we shouldn't have the pick of the litter if Furphy and HD leave.
