assuming he withdraws
I still think Yesufu will start next to DH.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:30 pm CB gone.
A little surprising that Yesufu is not in the portal. McCullar a good pick up and can play on the ball if needed.
It's for the replacement of Christian BraunBasketballJayhawk wrote: ↑Thu May 19, 2022 7:29 pm Wonder if that means Self got word Jalen is staying in no matter what?
That's because rice hasn't played a game of college basketball yetCrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:50 am Can't overlook his health when seeing that his offensive numbers took a dip from last season. But I think he needs a new system for that side of the ball. Confident they will be better in a faster pace, transition system that we ran this past season. Beard and Adams play slow and are defensive-minded coaches that are comfortable playing in the 50's and 60's.
You're getting a guy that has proven to be a good player at this level that does a little bit of everything--that's what we will be missing with Christian Braun's departure. There's still room for another guy whether it's Hunter or Mosley. Not sold on either of Yesufu or Rice right now.
Yeah, it seems like it would be hard for anyone to develop offensively in Adams' system. It is not really designed to get many good looks like Self's system.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:50 am Can't overlook his health when seeing that his offensive numbers took a dip from last season.

McCullar disabled the comments on his announcement because he saw how Tech fans treated his former coach after he left for UT.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:58 am Sometimes it's interesting to see what fans of the school a player is leaving are saying about the transfer to get an idea of what kind of player you're getting. Needless to say, looking on social media, Texas Tech fans are BIG MAD and extremely bitter over this move.
Yeah the Beard stuff was wild but I also don't doubt Beard made that move because they told him he'd be coaching in the SEC soon. But this is pretty immature.CrimsonNBlue wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 9:01 amMcCullar disabled the comments on his announcement because he saw how Tech fans treated his former coach after he left for UT.UnholyLivingDead wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 8:58 am Sometimes it's interesting to see what fans of the school a player is leaving are saying about the transfer to get an idea of what kind of player you're getting.

Tech fans really showed their ass, and I bet McCullar will need security detail when he visits Lubbock next season. Just trash.
Why would a guy who has been a major contributor for one of the best teams in the country the last 3 years making an impact speak in any way about the younger guys? NDPOY candidate with some offensive skill. Sign me up.ChicagoHawk wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 12:37 am Hate to be so negative because I can imagine a scenario where he contributes, but I don't see him making a big impact. And if he ends up starting for a lot of the season, I think that speaks poorly of the younger guys on the roster.
Especially for a guy who isn't even guaranteed to even enroll at KU at this point. Now I'm guessing the concerns about his offensive game means he will withdraw for the draft, but we don't even know if he'll be on the roster at all right now. If this is the guy that fills CB's spot, I'd take him in a heartbeat. Especially for a guy who can handle the ball and guard all 5 positions on defense.NDballer13 wrote: ↑Fri May 20, 2022 9:11 amWhy would a guy who has been a major contributor for one of the best teams in the country the last 3 years making an impact speak in any way about the younger guys?

Then again I've never been the type to think an incoming freshman is automatically better than a guy who has already played at that level, and proven to be very good at it.
