Jefferson will be a cyclone, we should hear this week. William Kyle will not be a cyclone, although he wanted to be. And we may get a player back who entered the portal, but had second thoughts. And no it’s not Omaha.

"Although he wanted to be"? What does that even mean? We didn't want him? Agent wants too much $$$?

 

[FerShizzle]

He’s a hawk fit for sure.

 

[hoosman]

I assume Omaha was paid decent NIL$ and it was decided no more money for nothing/checks for free. Best all around if he moved on in that case.

I’d be happy with Fish or Hamilton (or Omaha but sounds like it’s not him) coming back for that 13th scholarship and continued development

Fish would be great to have back, I'm sure Hamilton will be great in time but we have some dudes in the backcourt so playing time will be hard to find.

And where exactly did you come by this information?

So staff preferred Jefferson to Kyle? Im guessing maybe not apples to apples comparison. Maybe Jefferson at a requested $100,000 was a take over Kyle at a requested $300,000.

I think the staff prefers Jefferson due to his skill set as a natural PF in ISU system next to Jackson.
Who knows what the NIL expectations were but since both were set to visit the staff must have been comfortable with each's ask.

Does Jefferson have more eligibilty than Kyle? I am not sure. Just throwing out a guess. Who would we want back that entered the portal? Maybe Fish?

Both are true sophomores. I would guess (I don't know anything) that it's a skillset thing. What it tells me is that they are looking for minutes at the '4' and not the '5', as Jefferson is a "pure 4" and Kyle is more of a Hason Ward-style 5. So I think it would say that they are happy with Jackson/Rock/Chatfield at the '5'

Or maybe they are prioritizing FT shooting %, lol

Yea, Jefferson and Kyle seem similar height/build.

Kyle seems like a more efficient 2 pt shooter and believe he is a better shot blocker. But Jefferson might be more attractive because as a soph he was a Tre King level 3 pt shot.

There will be some serious competition for minutes.

This phone line just passed the message that JP is considering Hoiberg to be the next coach . . . . . phone line has been down for some time.

Wisconsin seems to be doing well in portal…… they lost a number to the portal but have gained a couple good ones. Now, appear to be in pursuit of Tyrese Hunter

Badger fans I’ve talked to think the portal has killed them this year with loss of Storr, Hepburn, and Essegian. I haven’t seen who they’ve added.
