Just please recruit an offensive PG so that the offense around Peterson can be unlocked. There will be plenty available who fit that bill.

You keep referencing Flory leaving.....
I dont even see him listed in any mock drafts....

Where is he going?

Braden Smith from Purdue is my guy. Not a good defender as some have mentioned, but beggers and choosers.

Great shooter and distributor.

Pull out all the dirty tricks, Bill.

I wasn’t aware that NBA teams published their own draft lists?

If a player as raw as Johnny Furphy was in his time at KU can go to the league after one year, you can guarantee that’s a possibility for Flory too.

Smith would be a tremendous add and would bring everything this team has lacked for a while now. His defense is less of an issue for me if you have someone like Flory under the basket as well.

I’m here for the rape.

I mentioned it before but the rumor was that he wanted more money last year.

We need to every back channel possible to communicate he has big money waiting on him comparable to several of the guys who won’t be here next year.

Time to pull out all the tricks.

Well the millions we were paying combined to Dickinson and Storr just opened up (I’m assuming Storr will want out just about as badly as we want him gone), so I don’t think that’ll be an issue any longer.

Can someone on the KU coaching staff how BYU plays offensive basketball and try to replicate that next year? Closest we ever came to being like this was 2018.

DP is the point guard but we do need another ball handler to go next to him

Mike Vernon emailed me

HEARINGS: PORTAL MODE ACTIVATED 🌀
We've officially activated KU Hearings PORTAL MODE as the transfer season begins. It’s going to be a BUSY few weeks for KU with a ton of Hearings to come.

I’ll soon have a transfer portal tracker up and running for VIP subscribers.

Early KU Interest
With the NCAA expanding scholarship totals from 13 to 15 per team, KU will take some players who may not be the buzzy types we’ve experienced before. KU (and every school) will factor in its NIL budget and find players willing to take on a smaller role.

I’m Hearing KU contacted the following players:

Treysen Eaglestaff - 6'6" junior G (North Dakota) | 18.9 PPG

Eaglestaff told me he is very interested in KU.

Cooper Schwieger - 6'10" soph F (Valpo) | 15.8 PPG & 7.8 RPG

Local talent who played at Blue Valley Southwest HS

Deuce Jones - 6’2” freshman G (La Salle) | 12.5 PPG

I’m Hearing there is some early mutual interest here.

Major Decisions Developing 🫣🔒
Unlock the complete breakdown below with Hearings on:

Unexpected developments for Rylan Griffen and Diggy Coit

Why AJ Storr and Zach Clemence are likely leaving

The latest on Flory Bidunga and one other player on the fence

SOON for VIP: The KU Transfer Portal Interest Tracker

Do we assume DP, Flory and Elmarko likely start?

DP and Flory, yes. Elmarko, no.

Vernon’s text says Bidunga is a toss up to transfer. If he just goes to another school, that’s an awful sign for the program.

Have to wonder if the rumors about Self losing the locker room were true if that happens.

smithandrew051 03-22-2025 09:27 PM

Eaglestaff was the guy who scored 40 against Bama

smithandrew051 03-22-2025 09:33 PM

Schwieger is an intriguing one.

He’s 6’10” and can shoot. A big trio of Bidunga, Tiller, and Schwieger could work pretty well. Have to assume Tiller is the bench big in that scenario.

Check out who Peterson said tonight he most wanted to play with next year. Perhaps he can salvage any issues there with Flory.

If he can’t…well I’m not liking our chances in 2025-2026.
