2023 Transfer Portal and NBA Declarations

sigh…

Udeh hitting the transfer portal. What a dumb, impatient decision.

Hate to see him go, felt like he had a tremendous amount of potential.

[InfiniteJ]

I'd rather have Zuby and Ernest than Dickinson.

I'd rather have Zuby and Ernest than Dickinson.

So much this.

[digitalkookie]

Seems rather shortsighted on his part but that's just my worthless opinion

[pdub]

Maybe.
But on the other hand, what's to stop Kansas to continue taking advantage of being able to buy the best players available in the college free agency?
If we re-up Hunter's contract next year, he'd likely be playing backup again.

[KUTradition]

i sure hope this doesn't all blow up in “our” face

Hunter goes down with an injury and we’re fucked and playing even smaller than we did last year

[MICHHAWK]

lucky for me i never bothered to learn that kids name.

Same. The only thing that would make it a good decision is if Dickinson stays for 2 seasons.

[pdub]

My guess is KU is likely to land Mgbako which could squeeze more minutes out of the bench ( just rotating players around ).

Udeh probably found this out, saw that Self was likely going to play more mobile 4's, and there was no way he'd be getting any other minutes besides spelling Hunter "i'm so courageous" Dickinson.

[pdub]

lucky for me i never bothered to learn that kids name.

Too bad.
Udeh seemed to love it here.

[MICHHAWK]

Udeh seemed to love it here.

i guess he didn't love it that much.

[pdub]

Nor do I lately.
We've become Kentucky.

[Back2Lawrence]

We need to change the feel-good phrase to Once A Payhawk, Always A Payhawk

[Mjl]

I'd rather have Zuby and Ernest than Dickinson.

Yes, absolutely

[Mjl]

Next year (24-25), Zuby/KJ/Udeh would have been the best frontcourt we've had.

This sucks.

[KUTradition]

you don’t know that

[pdub]

Next year (24-25), Zuby/KJ/Udeh would have been the best frontcourt we've had.

This sucks.

Woulda been up there for sure.
Cole, Morris twins, TRob and Jeff Withey in 2010 was pretty, pretty good.

[NewtonHawk11]

Udeh hitting the transfer portal. What a dumb, impatient decision.

Very very impatient. But these kids don't want to sit.

[pdub]

He's an All American who was in his second year and figured to be starting.
The transfer market hits ( and I guess everyone should just expect this now ) and he gets unexpectedly replaced.

If he left because KU landed some highly touted freshman big before the season started, i'd say, yea, dumb, impatient. But in this case, KU landed one of the top bigs in college basketball as an upperclassman who is getting paid a million dollars to play here. Dickinson will be sure to get plenty of minutes.
