@approxinfinity Greene was also anticipated to be the better player as well over White. White was the 69th ranked player in 2012 in what was a down recruiting cycle for KU. KU’s 2013 class was an all timer with Self landing four 5 star recruits including Greene and KU’s best player out of that 2013 class wasn’t even one of the 5 stars, it was their lowest ranked player, Frank Mason.
That 2013 class featured Wiggins, Selden, Embiid, and Greene as 5 star players, and Frankamp and Mason as 4 star players with Mason barely outside the top 50 in that class.
It also never helped White’s case for minutes here that he wasn’t a good 3 point shooter at KU. That made it easier to budget him out the door.
@KirkIsMyHinrich Huge weekend. Just watched pod cast of ranking of 2026 Kansas players- -just came out with up dated rankings. So far Ku has verbals from # ( 1 0 player J J Dunnigan – - The # ( 4 ) player Hunter Higgins- - & the # ( 9 ) player Jayden Mason
Huge , Huge weekend on this Jr day – the other scouting service has Premer as the # 1 ) player and Dunnigan 2nd - -But he is coming and he is going to be with our three in state commits Higgins-- -Dunnigan – & Mason - -rumor has it we have a GREAT shot at this kid , Synder coming in- -Several big time recruits coming in
The talk has been for some time that we are on the verge of a top 25 class for 26 and been said people saying this is the year that KU has been mentioned for just cleaning up with a great class- can’t wait.- -Thing is long time till December of 2025 going to have to hang on to guys once committed but looks great.- – K ? State absolutely thinks they still can flip Dunnigan I don’t think so
Agreed with the consensus here, there is probably a negative trump lean but you don’t have to be a liberal to not like the guy. Even that is fairly isolated in the pol channel which you can mute if you want.
I don’t post much but have been around since the beginning and it feels mostly the same outside of jaybate who honestly was hit and miss for me anyway. HEM is another notable missing but he became quite antagonistic on his own so it wasn’t sad to see him go in the end.
