2023 Transfer Portal and NBA Declarations

[KUTradition]

He might have signed what's called a "grant-in-aid" agreement, which lets the school talk about him, but isn't a National Letter of Intent.

(For what it's worth - the National Letter of Intent is garbage, and no kid with any leverage, which includes every recruit of ours, should ever sign one.)

it’s Marcus Adams that’s signed his NLI, not Chris Johnson

but i agree with your point

[randylahey]

“This is KUs biggest recruiting trip since it hosted Andrew Wiggins.”

God do I not like Vernon.

Lol yes. Dumb. Its the equivalent of landing Remy Martin when he was considered the top player on the transfer market. Different situation sure, dicksinson is a 7 foot center but there's a reason he's in college still, not the greatest athlete or defender

Wiggins as a recruit was the second coming of lebron

[randylahey]

wait, didn’t Chris Johnson just sign his NLI?

My limited perspective of chris Johnson is a big athletic guard with no shot. So Marcus Garrett with less defense

Good prospect but not gonna kill us to lose him. I dont see much of a role for him next season, but you never know

[punkrockhawk]

Where are people seeing that Chris Johnson may decommit? I have been looking, but haven't run across anything.

Pure speculation at this point. If ku is short on schollies, him McDowell or cuffe would be the logical detraction

[KUTradition]

uk forward Daimion Collins has entered the NCAA transfer portal

edit: CJ Fredrick, too

"SaMe oPpuRtuNiTIes aS OtHeR STuDEnTs"

fuck outta here with that shit.....yea, I knew tons of engineering students pulling in a 2 mils through their opportunities.


Id be on board if it was truly opening up to allow opportunities realistically open to all....Its not, its headed where everyone really knew it was going.. It's out of control, Its nothing but professional sports, It's got to stop.

To me, it's worse than professional sports and there are a few kosher coaches who try and do things the "right" way and they end up losing their jobs because of it - while the current state of college basketball enables the scumbags to prosper.

rumor is we offered $2 mil to hunter Dickinson...

So, you're inclined to think it is or have reason to think that it's true?

(Not counting the things we've allegedly done before.)

I just used the Google machine to search for it, and came up empty.

Ive seen it 2 othe replaces now, 1 said 2 mil 1 year, the other two said 4 mil 2 years.


Either way, its absurd and I greatly dislike this new era.

“ I'm not saying, exactly right now, that the pub is ruined.
But it's starting to, quickly - you can see the signs.

I'm not at the moment going to completely just stop going to the pub.
I just won't go to the pub as often.

And then once the local pub gets a new more expensive menu, a big loud digital jukebox, installs a dance floor and a bunch of new clientele come in who I don't vibe with, i'll find a different pub.”

Celts are on right now.
They ain’t pretending to be something they aren’t.

It's a choice to be this miserable, fellas.

[pdub]

So is being a Royals fan.

[hasbeen]

Heard that.

It just boils down to where your enjoyment of KU basketball comes from. For some, it apparently comes/came from the players being “regular college kids.”

That’s fine I guess - whatever floats your boat.

But over the last, what, 40 years, the sport exploded in value/prominence, and everyone in the sport got rich…except the players of the sport. Setting aside ethical issues, as a practical matter that was never going to last. The players would either get paid, or they would find someplace else to play.

I’m not in love with the roster fluidity. I’m hoping it’ll settle down some as the newness of all of this wears off. But none of the changes, so far, really diminish the reasons I enjoy KU basketball.

Plus, its just crazy to hold down the basketball players while the other communications majors are out there getting PAID

Where there’s a market for it, students get paid while they’re students.

The amount of money is irrelevant; a communications major who bartends gets paid what bartenders make. A communications major who is a Hollywood actress makes what Hollywood actresses make. They’re both communications majors, and both getting paid. And the world spins.

It’s not complicated.
