Locked On Jayhawks - Daily Podcast On Kansas Jayhawks Football & Basketball - BARGAIN HUNT: Kansas Jayhawks STRATEGIZE Late Steal in Transfer Portal - Top Options for Bill Self

Starting point is 00:00:00 Bill Self said Kansas might be looking for a steel to round out the roster. Let's discuss some of the players still in the portal, see if any of them could be that steel that KU is looking for. You are Locked on Jayhawks, your daily podcast on the Kansas Jayhawks, part of the Locked-on Podcast Network, your team every day. What's going on Derek Johnson here? This is Locked on Jayhawks, and on today's episode, we're going to be breaking down the latest KU football command a little on the latest KU Base. football come in as well, though. But KU Football with Richie Dexter will also get into some of the players still available in the transfer portal that as more time goes on, could they become the steel that Bill Self and KU basketball maybe are looking for to round out the roster here. Let's start right there because if you missed it from just the other day, there was a charity golf event. Bill Self spoke with the media. We did an episode about it. Thank you. That every day or so already caught it. But Bill Self made it clear that they're not done. He was asked about, are you done with the roster? He said no. but basically went on to say that they are looking for a steal, basically meaning that they're not in a position

Starting point is 00:01:12 where they have a ton of money to go out and throw at somebody and make some game-changing move. They're looking for somebody who, as time goes on, we get closer to the start of the college basketball season, maybe the player, the agent, whoever is getting desperate, that, hey, the offers aren't coming anymore. You know, I don't have it out. Like, I'm going to have to go somewhere.

Starting point is 00:01:33 It's less money or opportunity than I might, wanted from when this first thing started, but all those roles and money has dried up elsewhere. So now I'll have to take less than I initially was asking or take a lesser role than I was initially asking. And that's where Kansas comes in where they're playing this game of, hey, we're fine waiting. If we have to make a move in July or even early August, if that's what we have to do to get a player to be a steal because it's taking them too long. You know, it's almost like, I don't know, I think of like MLB free agency. You have these guys sign over the course of the off season. Then all of a sudden we get to like March, spring training is getting going.

Starting point is 00:02:08 And all of a sudden if you're on sign, you like sign a one year prove it deal that's less money than you wanted with somebody to try to reset your, you know, market next off season. That could be kind of the approach here for Kansas, right? And it's clear part of it too is that Kansas doesn't have the money to go make that that big move, right? And Bill Self said as much that he's not expecting a big addition. But when you look at it, Kansas is now down to 12 on Bart Torvik with some of the latest roster movement that has happened nationally, as well as some of the updates to different player ratings that has been going on on Bart's website. And who knows where that's going to exactly fall for Kansas?

Starting point is 00:02:43 There's a chance that, you know, they start the year 15th. Like last year, there were 17th to start the year. So you are still in front of where you were a season ago. And, you know, ideally if you're in front of where you were a season ago, but you get a healthier season from your star with Tyron Stokes, then you got from Darren Peterson, that's still a fine place to be for Kansas. But again, it's Kansas back. Do you want to be in a fine place or do you want to be in like a really, really good place?

Starting point is 00:03:06 And that's kind of where the question comes in here. And then you get into again, going back to the money situation of like Kansas is raising money for the football stadium and for building rosters across all their sports. And for now building this indoor baseball stadium, it makes it more difficult to, you know, kind of fundraise and figure out where the different money is going. is the best way to do this legitimately. And I feel like this never happens. And it's almost like a, I don't know, this is, this is something that I never expect to happen. And it's probably unfair to ask somebody to do this.

Starting point is 00:03:41 But like if Kansas really does want to make that one other move, if Bill Self really wants to make that one of the move, why not like take it out of your salary from the standpoint of like, I don't know, figure out some NIL way to like, like, you see some of the highest paid coaches. college basketball right now, we're actually making around $5 million. Like, I don't know, Bill Self, if this is going to be one of your last years or your last year and you want to make an imprint, you know, instead of making $10 million this year,

Starting point is 00:04:07 why not make eight and use another two to add that one final edition or something? Again, I'm not expecting that to happen, but I don't know, should it at least be in the conversation. Now, maybe the play here is waiting out to see what happens with the five and five. Like, maybe that's part of this too here for Kansas, right? Because you know you're in a situation where realistically you think you have your rotation set, think you're ever starting lineup set. So it does pay to be patient if you're Kansas, right? You only have a limited amount money. Let's wait the market out. Let's see who kind of falls in our lap.

Starting point is 00:04:36 And if the five and five ends up passing, obviously part of what they've talked about is that it's not going to grandfather in current players where they would get a fifth year. So, you know, by that notion it wouldn't have an impact. But, you know, I think we all know that assuming the five and five passes. And then those players are not grandfathered in another year. Somebody's going to sue the NCAA. Now, what are the chances they win that suit or not? I have no idea.

Starting point is 00:05:08 The NCAA does seem to lose a lot in court. So, like, I feel like it would somebody would win the case. And then as soon as somebody wins the case, then it just opens up every other player who wants to get that fifth year, who was, you know, a fourth year player this past season to just sue the NCAA and get their fifth year to based on that precedent, right? So maybe the play here for Kansas is waiting it out for the five and five to get passed, then somebody to sue, somebody to win, but that is a dangerous game because would all of that happen in time before the start of the season to allow you to do this? Because, I mean,

Starting point is 00:05:40 theoretically, if the five and five does pass, it's not just that you could have the opportunity to bring on, you know, some of those, maybe a five and five player who would fit the billing. and we'd be at a point in the off season where, again, most teams would have used up their resources. So you can get one for, you know, maybe cheaper than a player was of similar caliber at the start of the off season. Maybe you can get a player to have a home, like if Trey White were to come back, right?

Starting point is 00:06:04 Maybe that's the play. But it's also the idea that if you get some of those five and five players in there, now it deepens the market of who's still standing anyway. And now the guys who are still standing already get pushed even further back and now have to take an even better deal to go to. of school. So maybe that's the play for Kansas kind of waiting for that to pass. Maybe the play is waiting to see, you know, what you can do with Javon Bardwell, you know, do you try to reclassify him, right? Like, it doesn't seem like that's in the cards for KU at this point in time, but if you

Starting point is 00:06:33 want a big upside swing, like Javan Bartwell is a 2027 five-star recruit and he seems to be playing really well lately, right? So maybe that kind of makes sense, right? Let's say you're waiting for the right player at cost to fall in the portal though, right? I think that's something that probably makes maybe the most sense for me for Kansas, that when you look at some of the past years, what they've done, that has kind of been how it's gone about. Like last year, Cole Rosario was a late reclass. Now, that might have still been in like June or May, maybe June. But Rosario was kind of one of the later additions for this KU roster season ago. And obviously didn't have a as great of a season as I think a lot of people were hoping for,

Starting point is 00:07:19 especially when he became a starter early on. But point being, like, he was a starter early on. You go back the year prior, you get Digi Coyt super late in the game. Gosh, was Shaquil more late in the game as well? I can't remember that one. You go back a couple of years before, like Johnny Furfee was late in the game for KU. So they've made some of these late additions that have been comfortable doing that to varying degrees of success, honestly, probably a lot of success when you think about

Starting point is 00:07:44 some of those recent ones, right? like Furfee turned into being a really important player for that Kansas team. DeKoyt ended up being a rotation player for Kansas. So it's not impossible that that's just part of this as well. And that could just be like a thing Kansas is doing, right? That you're waiting for the right situation or the right player, the right reclass candidate or the right international guy or the right. If he's more likely probably out of the transfer portal,

Starting point is 00:08:10 because I think when you're looking at it, you know, from the international standpoint, those guys have, have the option to, oh, do I go to college basketball or do I just resign with my club? Or do I just stay in Europe? You know? And so that's not as much of like, like the longer you wait to sign a European player, they might just be like, well, I'm just going to stay in Europe. The longer you wait to sign one of these transfer portal guys, their market might dry up and

Starting point is 00:08:33 they have to take a cheaper deal. I think from a position standpoint, I guess unless it was Bardwell, just because that's the one that is readily available to you as a potential reclass candidate, or if it was a five and five guy where again if the pool the universe of players were to get opened up a little bit by somebody suing winning and opening up what five and five guys could come back to college basketball where you're just trying to get the best possible player and you don't really care about position. I think outside of those scenarios, I think if you are looking at what position could KU add or should they add with one of these last spots, if they do get one of those steals, I think, you know,

Starting point is 00:09:09 if you use both scholarships, probably a ball handling guard and a big man. If you only use one of the scholarships, then you're obviously picking between one of the two. But I do think it's one of the two. Because from the ball handling guards perspective, if you're starting Taylin Kinney and Leroyd Blyden, you don't really have another one behind them. I guess Luke Barnett, can he handle it all? Or is he just a shooting guard that I'm not entirely sure on? And Tyrant's social handle it too, but you just maybe want another kind of body in there. From the center position, I think because of the Christian Reeves injury, it would make sense to be like, hey, let's get another body for insurance that could at least be a practice body and at least gives us insurance behind, you know, Paul M. Bia, if Davion Adkins isn't ready yet and if Christian Reeves is injured, that it gives us that another body there. So knowing all that, let's get to some of the top options still remaining in the portal that could potentially be that steal for KU. This episode is brought to you by Fan Dual Sportsbook.

Starting point is 00:10:43 They're kind of beat up. honestly, Illinois at 16 to 1. That's the one that six out is like they should be higher up there. Houston 22. I don't know. The roster, I think they'll be good, but I don't think they'll be as elite. Michigan State 25 to 1. That's not bad.

Starting point is 00:10:55 Texas, 25 to 1. St. John's at 30 to 1. They've got some international interesting players. I got 30 to 1.

Starting point is 00:11:19 That's locked on jhawks.supercast.com. All right. So again, as we go over this, like to me, it makes sense, ball handler who can shoot the three ball. Again, think Diggy Coy, right? Diggy Coy provided somebody who could at least give you another ball handler if you needed it, not that you wanted him to be your primary ball handler, but could in theory do it for a little and make threes off the bench, right? That's what I'm looking for if you're adding a steeper,

Starting point is 00:11:45 at the guard position here, right? Tijon Sane is somebody that I think we did a deep dive on, but about 17 and a half points per game at Weber State, 45% from the floor, 35 from 3, 90 at the foul line. He has been an all-conference first team pick, his two previous years at a non-D-1 level, and then this last year at Weber State, he's probably better than the role KU has to offer him,

Starting point is 00:12:08 but he keeps slipping through the cracks to where, like, who knows what you're waiting for. And I will say this. Like, if you go on Torvik and you add Tijon, Sane, it changes Kansas from the 12th ranked team to the seventh ranked team in the country. So that would be a pretty impactful ad, probably one that goes above the can we get him as a steal. But again, if we're operating in this world where we're like in July and he hasn't signed yet, I don't know. Maybe you can reconsider there, right? What about D'Andre Craig?

Starting point is 00:12:33 He is a shorter guard from the Chicago area. We know Bill Self can, you know, like his Chicago guards. Although I feel like I say that. and I'm like trying to think off the top of my head. I feel like there were more like Chicago guys with Kansas and Bill stuff. I feel like earlier on, the first half of his tenure. I feel like that might not be happening as much here lately. But anyway, point being DeAndre Craig is somebody who was at Purdue Fort Wayne.

Starting point is 00:13:00 He averaged 14 points per game, shot 38.5% from 3 point range this past season. And the year before he's at Denver, 13 and a half points, 39% from 3. That sounds like somebody who could just come in to be your 9th or 10th, man, you don't need them to play every game. If he does play in a game, he can hit some threes for you, and he gives you another ball handler, right? Doyle Cockrell the Third, unbelievable name sounds like a, I don't even know what it's had.

Starting point is 00:13:26 This sounds like somebody who was working with the King back in England in like the 14th century or something like that. But Doyle Cockrell, the Third, beyond just having a great name. He is a guard from Chicago State, six foot two. so a little bit bigger than like a D'Andre Craig. 12 points per game at Chicago State, which is typically not been a very good team, 36.4% from three,

Starting point is 00:13:50 but it's on good volume. So again, under the guise of just like, you know, adding somebody who can be your 10th man who at least has a little bit of scoring production and three point shooting. Now, the thing with Diggy Coy, is we keep kind of expanding it as that role.

Starting point is 00:14:05 Diggy was averaging like 20 points per game, you know, in Northern Illinois, but I don't know how realistic it is for that type of move, I guess unless you were to add like a T-Jean Saint, but again, I feel like he'll find somewhere better. I don't know if it's pronounced Chevalier or Chevalier, but it is Chevalier or Chevalier, again, Emery, who is a guard coming from Cleveland State. And he averaged about 13 points per game, 12.7 per game. He shot 38% from three this most recent season at Cleveland State. Again, just kind of following that path of being able to score, be another ball handler, hit some threes.

Starting point is 00:14:41 Noam Doverat is another guy that I've talked about in a deep dive on the show previously. 40% three-point shooter. He has a good size at 6'5. It was kind of a lead guard internationally before coming over to Miami. It became more of kind of the spot-up shooter, but he has the versatility to do both. And I think he'd be more of the kind of Jalen Coleman lands role, right, which is, again, kind of a spot minutes guy. He can come in, really good three-point shooter, but he gives you a little bit of ball handling if you need it just in case of emergency. which is kind of what you're looking for there.

Starting point is 00:15:14 The next one I find very interesting here. And this is Mahilo Petrovich. Now, do keep in mind, so like Bill Self and Brad Underwood, I do believe they are, they're relatively tight. They're, you know, buddies, I believe. And he was the head coach at Illinois. And obviously, Trey White goes from Illinois to Kansas. But that would mean that I'd imagine they would be talking about, you know,

Starting point is 00:15:37 I don't know, would this be a good fit. Is this somebody you recommend or not? And I don't know if Petrovich is going to stay back in Europe. So he came over from Europe with pretty high expectations for a good reason. He was averaging like 14 points per game in the Adriatic Senior League, like against pros. And the Adriatic League isn't like one of the top three leagues in the world. But I don't know, it's probably like a top 10 league. And that was in the 2024 to 2025 season where he's doing that at a professional level.

Starting point is 00:16:02 Comes over to Illinois. And he ends up being behind Keaton Wogler and plays sparingly, just 19 games for Illinois. but like, I don't know. That might be one where you take a swing on. Then again, he might just be looking to go back to Europe or go somewhere where he can be guaranteed more playing time, which would not really be as much the case at Kansas. But may be interesting there. Cemetery Carr, I think he goes by TT.

Starting point is 00:16:26 Modest numbers at Cal, six foot guard, who put up 3.8 points, 2.2 assists per game. But, you know, you're talking about somebody here in a car who was at a power level, obviously, decent facilitator and passer. He obviously would have to work on the shooting and the scoring ability. But at least this would be somebody you would know that, hey, if they would be coming in from a role of like, you know, just being kind of a backup at a power level, you know he's done that before as a freshman. So maybe that's one that you could get on the cheap as well because it is kind of a lack of

Starting point is 00:16:59 production. And then the last one here for the guards is Tyler Byrd. He is a six foot three soon to be senior, averaged a little over 10 points. per game at Alabama State, 47% from the floor. Now, he doesn't check the box as much of being a great three-point shooter, just 30%. But really good defender, 1.7 steals per game for him. So, again, if you're just talking to ball handlers, your 9th, 10th, 11th man, you could do worse than maybe Tyler Bird. So it's not like a super impressive list outside of probably T. Jean Sane, but that's kind of a point.

Starting point is 00:17:29 If you're looking for a steal, which is the quote from Bill Self, like you're not going to get some All-American here, right? moving to the bigs this one is if you look at a lot of different like transfer portal lists he's he's the guy remaining in the portal and that's robert miller the third i think he's a top 40 available transfer on evan miakawa he's i believe the only top 40 guy who's still available or not in the NBA draft at this point if i add this is really fun if i add robert miller junior or not junior robert miller the third which i guess is a junior of a junior but if i add robert miller the third to Kansas's roster on Bart Torvik. They go from number 12 to number four in the country.

Starting point is 00:18:09 So, yes, I would be very interesting now adding Robert Miller Jr. You're talking, you know, not huge numbers that jump off the page in terms of the six points, four rebounds per game, doing it in 19 minutes for a bad LSU team. But he's six foot 10 sophomore, has played a power level, 2.3 stocks per game, a really impactful defender. I don't know why he hasn't picked a team yet. I don't know. Is the number too high?

Starting point is 00:18:32 is there something going on? If there's not, and you can get this kid on the cheap, like he's legitimately a player that could come in and start for you at the center. So I don't know if that's any possibility, but, man, I'd be all about it if it could be. Okay, here's a name, though, draw some controversy. James Naji comes over from Baylor, does not have a good year, Baylor, 1.4 points, 2.1 rebounds after all the hubb, 69%. But he is awesome measurables.

Starting point is 00:18:58 Maybe just by joining mid-semester, it just didn't work out. maybe you give him a full off season. And if you're just having him behind Paul and Bia, kind of a big center who can be long, and it fits that same billing, right? And you'd probably get them for cheap. A mecca oprum, 3.8 points, 2.5 rebounds, one block per game, nine and a half minutes per game,

Starting point is 00:19:17 over six games for Auburn. So kind of more of a raw player there in terms of lack of playing time. But again, if you're just looking for kind of a body who has some potential at center, he would kind of fit the billing with James Naji, as would a little bit of this next one, with Paytok McCarr, who is Australian Big Man, 610, 2, 15, over three points, over three rebounds per game on a tournament team with McNeece State. Shot about 70%. Again, kind of more raw players who have some length to them that can at least give you, you know, third center vibes.

Starting point is 00:19:48 And then the last one here is Emmanuel Stephen, which is the same thing. Seven foot center from Nigeria. Now, this one maybe a little bit more pop to it because he came out of high school as a top 100 recruit. and he actually picked Arizona out of high school over a group of teams that included Kansas. So maybe there would be some sort of line there. But he goes to Arizona, plays sparingly, transfers to UNLV this season where he averages three and a half points, over four rebounds, over stock per game at 15 minutes. Maybe that would be one where, again, could you bring him on as a third big man? And maybe there's a little bit more there of untapped potential than you would think.

Starting point is 00:20:22 All right. Let's get on to a little bit of a KU football commit. Richie Dexter, KU baseball got one as well. We'll get to all those next. This is Locked on Jayhawks. Once again, don't forget you can join the Everyday Air Club for the ad-free version of the show at locked on jhawks. Dot supercast.com. KU football has a new commit in the form of Richie Dexter, who is a three-star gigantic offensive lineman from Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona, stands 6'7, 3-7 pounds.

Starting point is 00:20:51 He's an 85-rated 3-star at 24-7 sports. On 3 has him as an 85-rated 3-star as well. he chooses Kansas over Yukon, Oklahoma State, Arizona, Baylor, and some other schools. Now, it's interesting because the 85 rated three star doesn't jump off the page for you. The offers certainly do jump off the page for you because that's, you know, three big 12 schools that I mentioned that you're going up against, you know, on the gridiron beyond from the recruiting standpoint. When you see the film, you see the size, 6 foot 7, 320, and you see it on the video. And honestly, I was pleasantly surprised by how well he moves up to, you know, the second level, for instance, and is able to get on linebackers or get on defensive backs.

Starting point is 00:21:36 And then he just uses his overwhelming size, especially, you know, at the high school level, when he's getting up to the second level and blocking a high school lineback or a high school DB, like, it's just game over. Like, he's just going to be so much bigger than those dudes. And so go out and dominate him. And he did. Right. So I have credit to that.

Starting point is 00:21:52 I didn't see like a ton of run blocks where he's like on a defensive line. and it felt like most of them he was like running up to the second level so you know tough to totally tell what the translation is um it did seem like at times he was a little bit high with his blocks but i guess that makes sense at six foot seven it's going to be tough to you know get super low all the time from a pass blocking standpoint i thought that he had really powerful hands um i would assume being six seven he probably has long arms probably has a long wingspan because even if his wingspan he isn't even a plus wingspan, it's still going to be long, right? And that seemed to allow him to get to defense linemen well. When he was able to get his long arms and hands-on guys, he made it

Starting point is 00:22:30 tough for them to get around him. It did seem like against speed rushers, he's going to struggle a little bit more, which isn't, you know, super uncommon for bigger offensive linemen necessarily, like it's kind of the case for Calvin Clements and Nick Morrow, who KU currently has on the team. But I think when you look at it, like, it's probably not a bad idea to take a swing on a player who is a ginormous person because you can't you can't teach six seven three 20 and you can't really do like I'm not saying this dude's will chamberlain as an athlete but like he seems like he's a solid athlete right and so you can't really teach six seven three 20 who also can move a little bit and get to the second level we know kU wants to move their offense alignment and have them go with

Starting point is 00:23:12 the pocket so um i get it right i get taken a swing on a player like that now at the end of the day And this is no knock against Dexter necessarily. This is just more of a, in general, when talking offensive line commits from the high school level at this point for KU, it's hard to get super excited right now until we see it happen. Because interestingly enough, like Kansas has done an outstanding job at developing guys that they have brought into the program via the transfer portal. And that even includes guys who they've brought in as young players. Like Amir Herring was pretty much a high school recruit.

Starting point is 00:23:49 He came in as a redshirt freshman. from Michigan. And last season, he had a good year as a starter. And this year he's expected to be, you know, one of the better interior offensive linemen in the big 12, right? You've had success with other guys that you brought in via transfers that, you know, maybe there was a little bit more to them like Logan Brown in terms of what they were doing before, that you were able to add to their game. You had guys like Dominic Poonie who did really well at the D2 level and you added even more to their game. Again, you have examples of guys like Kobe Baines who basically from a playing standpoint where high school recruits, but still did have a year or two at the collegiate

Starting point is 00:24:28 level to develop their body before bringing in and you developed them. You had carryover guys from the previous staff like Bryce Cable do who you help develop. You help develop Earl Bostic to make him a little bit better of a player. So like they've weirdly done really well developing offensive linemen. It's just been development of guys who have already been in a college program for a year. or two. From the high school ranks, for whatever reason, I don't know if it's mis-evaluations or an inability to develop, but when I point to all those guys they brought in via transfers, even ones who came in as like Redshirt freshmen, like Kobe Baines or an Amir Herring that have turned out well, that makes me think it's not a development thing. That makes me think

Starting point is 00:25:09 it is just a mis-evaluation thing from the high school ranks. And I'm not saying this to say that that's the case with Dexter. Like, Dexter might be a home run, Diamond, in the rough for this team. My point is more so that I just want to start seeing it before I get overly excited about the high school recruiting at the offensive line position for KU. More commitment news for KU comes from the baseball diamond where Logan Herald is going to be transferring in to Kansas. And Harold, I believe, was another Juco player, which KUCO player, which KU has done so incredibly well with. He had 97 strikeouts to just 20. 20 walks, which that's a really good K to walk ratio.

Starting point is 00:25:51 So it comes in with seemingly good stuff. I don't know if he'll profile to being a starter or a reliever at Kansas, but obviously the depth of the bullpen for Kansas has paid off for them to make a super regional here. And whether it is to come in and be another starter and, you know, I don't know, take over potentially, like if Dom Vagley is going to go pro or if it's to come in and, you know, lengthen the bullpen a little bit and be one of these guys who can come in and pitch an Indian or two. do for Kansas out of the bullpen. It seems like a good addition for KU.
