Rick’s Targets

[SJU14]

Bio says SJU ‘24?

I think he is pointing out how Dingle and Mgbako both liked Ayo's IG post

I think it's fake - went on the post myself and didn't see either of them in the likes.

 

[MugCostanza]

Never got my hopes up on Mgbako but the little sliver of hope that it could possibly happen has left town in my mind

My GUESS.....Ware and Jordan...BUT....hearing perhaps some other movement. What I am hearing for a FACT is Rick is completely rejuvenated and ABSOLUTELY driven to prove people wrong and win here. This landscape is so different and things change SO quickly....honestly he's everywhere and nothing would surprise me

When you say “some other movement” are you referring to another scholarship opening for us or just that we may be looking at options beyond Dingle and/or Ware?

I presumed '79 was saying "some other movement" per our coaching staff.

I'm guessing movement among other players currently on teams that can impact our plans.

Amazingly we are this late with free agents — I mean transfers — and there are still more to come.

He's from DFW area, so you'd have to figure TCU is the favorite. The guys on the 247 KU message board seemed to have really liked him.

yes. Dingle, Mgbako, and Ian Jackson liked the post. Don't read anything into it. Players like each other's content all the time.

I don’t think we ever had a shot with Mgbako, and I’m fine with that this year. I think Dingle is exponentially more important. I would argue that Zuby would be a better on court addition with his 3 years of eligibility and size to play some 5 and a traditional PF role.

Ejiofor was the ESPN 80th ranked recruit in the 2022 High School class. Played only about 5 minutes a game as a Freshman at Kansas. Averaged 0.6 Blocks Per game and 1.7 Rebounds Per game during his time on the court. That projects to about 3 Blocks and 8.5 rebounds Per Game in 25 minutes of court time which is pretty impressive IMO. Might help us with some size, rebounding and rim protection.

This staff is working their tails off, and even if they didn't have a parade of 5 stars waiting in their first month, they are certainly doing their due diligence on the portal. Considering they haven't had to deal with the transfer portal on THIS level at Iona, it's impressive, but not surprising given the acumen of the people were discussing. Now lets land some big fish!

Afraid to even imagine how previous coaching staffs would've done in this environment...

Zach B : visit will be this weekend, per source.

Zach says SJ may be backing off Ware

Will be happy with either him or Ware for the last ship and to shore up the 4/5 spot. Also makes some people here happy getting HM transfers instead of MM

[ADORAZ]

Zuby is a Forward, and we only have 2 ships left. I'm thinking someone(s) may be leaving?

 

[austour]

Here's Kansas' description of Zuby on their site:
A combo forward who can play the four or five spots … Plays with high energy … A dominant player inside as he averaged a combined 20.6 points, 12.4 rebounds and 3.4 blocked shots his junior and senior seasons at Garland High School.

PS Sign me up for Zuby, Dingle and call it a recruiting season.
