Good start, there are several guys with length on that list, good for the way Kevin chooses to defend.
Yes!Just saw on Twitter that Brok Vice the son of our OL Coach has entered the portal. Interesting to see if he decides to come where his parents are... Big kid I think we were recruiting him before he picked Creighton... 6-10, 245
Because he had an All American named Kalkbrenner in front of him...Vice - If he is tough, can rebound and can shoot the three why did he redshirt?
Because King is the heir and he signed with them and then got recruited overWhy would he transfer now, isn’t Kalkbrenner a senior?
Traudt, another 6'10" Freshman played and wasn't redshirted.Because he had an All American named Kalkbrenner in front of him...
So you split 5 minutes a game with another player or redshirt and get an extra year? Kalkbrenner played 35 minutes a game... I don't get what you're hinting at? Kid was a late bloomer on the AAU circuit and under recruited if I remember from last year. He got a lot of attention late but chose Creighton. They had a bunch of bigs, so he chose to redshirt...Traudt, another 6'10" Freshman played and wasn't redshirted.

Don’t sleep on Dubar either, pretty efficient and effective from 2pt, 3pt and the foul line!The list is guard dominated. IMO, we shouldn't look at any guard that can't shoot the three at better than 35%.
Candidates:
Dubar (J) - 40%
Williams (F) - 45%
Moore (S) - 36%
Wenzel (S) - 38%
Maddox (J) - 40%
Brown (F) - 41%
My Favorites: Williams, Wenzel, Maddox and Brown

I would like to see us get VEGAS kids. But I'm concerned CKK won't be able to get what we need to win going that route.The amount of Vegas kids that are entering the portal is interesting... You wonder if DTJ could sway a few to come home and play with him and Hill...
Well said!I would like to see us get VEGAS kids. But I'm concerned CKK won't be able to get what we need to win going that route.
This team can't afford to be looking at anything beyond getting better than last year. And that means we need better players than left. Better than the Boone Bros. and Rodriguez. We lost 43 Pts a game in departures. We lost our best defender and I don't see how we improve there. So....... we need more points. We are @ 175th in the country for total offense. I don't think it's too much to ask to be in the top 50. That's ONLY an additional 4 points a game. That means we need to bring in 47 points. Don't start counting Hill any other current player because their average points are in the mix already. That means 47 NEW points. Four players at 9 points a piece won't cut it because there aren't enough minutes in the game for them to to get theirs and even if they do it isn't enough to get where we were.
We will need three players ( Two guards and a Forward ) who can get @ 13-15 points a game in 30 minutes and two more who can get @ 6 in 10 minutes. That leaves us a little slop for the inevitable bad game by one of these players. I believe DTJ can up his average by 5 ppg. Whaley getting more efficient or Hicks finding his true self would help. I don't even know what to say about Nowell and Cottrell. And players getting their first taste of D1 ball usually don't get with the program till Conference play - and that often is too late. ( Evans, N'Daye, Cherry, Bannarbie)
But to finish this lengthy post, CKK better bring in some really good players or he won't see '26. IMO, the limiting factor should be are they or are they not under indictment. If not, bring them on if they can produce.
Last year was toward the end of April. Both the Boones signed the third week of April. I wouldn't get the least bit concerned for another couple of weeks.Feels a little uneasy that we havent heard names that are going and havent gotten any names that are coming so far. I know its early and theres a coming dead period but seems like we should be hearing more about these guys we are targeting and or guys who may be coming...
Certain things didn’t work and they probably aren’t going to work. If it’s assessed it ain’t going to work, help them find a landing spot elsewhere.My guess is KK is meeting with players this week to discuss their future with the Rebels. I am expecting to see a couple transfers starting next week
So, by your rationale, JJJ and Cotrell are going to be sent to Dixie? Utah Tech? Wherever Martinez ended up?Certain things didn’t work and they probably aren’t going to work. If it’s assessed it ain’t going to work, help them find a landing spot elsewhere.
I still kind of like JJ but definitely add Nowell to this list!So, by your rationale, JJJ and Cotrell are going to be sent to Dixie? Utah Tech? Wherever Martinez ended up?
As a coach, I think you offer help. Wherever that may be. But if you want to win, you have to replace deadweight with some production.So, by your rationale, JJJ and Cotrell are going to be sent to Dixie? Utah Tech? Wherever Martinez ended up?
True, but do you really think Kevin is the one to find “said” productive talent?As a coach, I think you offer help. Wherever that may be. But if you want to win, you have to replace deadweight with some production.
no, but i do trust Perry.True, but do you really think Kevin is the one to find “said” productive talent?
Track record shows more miss than hit. So I can’t say. It’s a case by case thing.True, but do you really think Kevin is the one to find “said” productive talent?
Agreed. He may be good but wow … this is about as lopsided as it can be shown in a highlight video with the competition. You can’t tell how decent a guy is when Scrub is guarding him.Was that Dantley trying to guard him in some of the "highlights?"
C'mon, man! Let me see him against someone talented. The highlights (not just his, other recruits as well) against crap teams and players doesn't tell me much. Didn't Martinez have a double-double this season? He's horrible so what does that tell you about the team he recorded that against? Life Insurance University, maybe?
I agree. It is tough to extrapolate how well he will fair at this level.Was that Dantley trying to guard him in some of the "highlights?"

I’ll bet a million bucks he doesn’t reach his average in scoring but does surpass rebounding. I don’t see much of an offensive weapon in him. He could have a couple double digit scoring games here and there… maybe, but I don’t think it will be consistent.My take from the Vid is I'm not counting on him to equal Kalib's numbers. Maybe half. I'm really hoping - and it's just hope - Pape is better than I fear.
