Next recruit up
-
-
I don’t really care who got in the argument. More I’d like to know what it was about. Eligibility? Work ethic? Dissing his momma? And I’m likely to never know.
-
@dylans kinda weird!
-
@JayHawkFanToo SO WAS IT THE FIRST HIGHLIGHTED ONE?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 TFerg did get to make a lot of money this year though and he fell right about where he would have I think. Seems like he made the right choice for himself.
-
Bill Self isn’t an assistant.

Way better than sitting for TWO years not playing.
-
I don’t know, I was simply showing who was recruiting him but I seriously doubt Coach Self would get in an argument with a prospect or a prospect with him.

@JayHawkFanToo GOT IT

Well I just got through listening to the for quarters broadcast of Zags blog and I’m not EVEN trying to build up anything really, but yet find it at least a little interesting concerning Trevon Duval:
They was talking about his recruitment and talking about how he was being really smart, cause he had gotten to see some really high profile games, how he had Visited Ku , Arizona , and Duke. - Was talking about how Seton Hall was still trying to get him for a visit. - But he had gotten to see the big time atmosphere during his profile games at KU and Arizona.
They talked about how everybody just seemed to believe that it was a given that all the twitter and such and other places saying Duke , Duke , But like they said given the Fact of Duke being such an elite program with their Coach that if he had decided and was all in on Duke - -then why didn’t he just go ahead and announce for Duke?
They which was of these guys was Evan Daniel from scout , said that Trevon was taking these visits and thought it would make it easier to make his decision- - But actually taking these visits has made it a lot harder trying to decide where to commit. - - They said fully feel, think it’s Ariz , Ku , & Duke. - -saying they have NO GUT feel at all where he is leaning, they said they will say this that KU still in the picture as Norm has been out to see him again at IMG. - -not trying to read anything into this, but maybe not quite over yet. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 can he drive?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 He can do it all, he is the one point guard they said is NBA ready for sure right now, the best point guard in this class. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Juiston had 16 points 16 rebounds 4 assists, 2 steals in Hutch’s OT loss last night. He was double teamed a lot, sometimes it seems 3 or 4 guys on him.
Someone who does play by play for Hutch has this to say about Shakur
I would say that Juiston is a decent shooter out to 12-14 feet but rarely shoots from distance because he is exceptional at driving to the basket and finishing. He hits a very high percentage on shots around the basket. He is a tremendous leaper who plays MUCH taller than his 6-7. He is unselfish and a good passer (4 assists/gm). He also averages 2 blocks per outing.

Yeah he’s a great player, but I wouldn’t get too excited about him since his year of service won’t be in crimson and blue.

I hope we can pry him away from ISU.

I think next year we might have better public relations if we have fewer kids who drive, and who altogether avoid parking areas.
-
@BShark ya I know, I know, you know he is Duke, all this other chitter chatter just makes conversation and a little never say die small talk you knw lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Markese Jacobs’ older brother decommitted from SIU today.
-
@BShark So is he someone that could help us? Size? Handles? Shooter?
-
I don’t think he is particularly a KU level guy. The scuttlebutt is he will do a prep year. Regardless of if he stays in 17 or goes to 18 he wouldn’t be the worst end of the bench option (if he is willing) so that he could hang out with his brother.
Oh and if it secures Markese you take him every time imo.
-
Groce fired.
Waters asks for his release from Georgetown LOI before anything actually happens with JT3.
TIME FOR SOME BILL SELF SPRING TIME MIRACLES.
-
@BShark Let’s see is that the Tremont Waters kid? - -We were recruiting him right? and I think we were one of his schools he was considering right? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
OK, just answered my own question. - - Tremont before his LOI his schools that were in the hunt were U-Conn - - -Duke - - -Indiana - - KU – -UK - - -& Yale.
Well if were to happen I think they Kentucky would not be there for sure anymore - - More then likely Duke would be out for sure because of Duval. - -So that then would leave U Conn - - Indiana - - KU - -& Yale, could be interesting I really would not be that concerned about Indiana I think for him, - -if anything I think it would then come down between KU & U- Conn - -but 1st has to get released, but I think for the most part schools usually grant kids their request if that’s what they want and not hold them against their will - -we shall see. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 T Waters? Yes. KU, Puke, Indiana and Kensucky.
-
@BShark go over waters again, please. Thx

@brooksmd YA thanks for that, appreciated. - -I pull up zags blog and seen that. - -Who knows maybe a late Christmas gift – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I tell you what there is a 6’7 kid from McPherson that is junior this year, that I’ve watched play a few times named Ben Pyle that looks better than Perry Ellis did in highschool. We need to give him a look I think.
-
@kjayhawks ewww
-
@brooksmd I should’ve gaggled it? Was waiting for that
-
@Crimsonorblue22 McPherson is gold standard in highschool basketball, ik in hutch you probably don’t like them but their coach does the best with way less talent. Made 21 of the last 25 state tournaments.
-
@brooksmd that wasn’t much info
5’10" bet he’s no BIFM I like how that’s automatically capitalized
-
@kjayhawks they just lost to Miege is BOl BOl on that team?
-
@cragarhawk no! He’s in ca.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 since when?
-
@cragarhawk all season I believe
-
@Crimsonorblue22 really… I didn’t know. Went to a prep academy I assume? Senior this year? Are we not recruiting him?
-
@cragarhawk I don’t think so, but they have Lester Earl’s kid. I watched some it on the web and that Pyle kid put up 25 vs guys getting D1 offers. Mac had their chances BM is just too big and athletic.
-
@cragarhawk Zyck said that Bol has not contacted him to explain the transfer, and that he doesn’t know where Bol will go next. 247Sports reported Tuesday that Bol is expected to play for Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.
Jr this year
-
He visited for late night.

Don’t think UK or Duke will be in play the second time around since they have or are about to land their PG(s).
@Crimsonorblue22 said:

Not truly elite but a multi-year guy that is WAY better than the other realistic options for KU at this pt. Taking him might hurt chances with 2018 pgs, but a bird in the hand…

Not sure he is a D1 recruit.

He wanted the hell out of Kansas.

JRE on the other hand is a legacy and the kind of player Self really likes.
-
Arizona likely to be involved with Waters this time around. Welp just go ahead and scratch him off the list.
-
@BShark I think Pyle could be a Travis Releford type of guy. Watch Lightfoot and Ellis’s highschool tapes. Then watch him and tell me he ain’t just as good or better. Honestly I think he’s as good as Lightfoot at this time.

Perry was a top 40 player and a McDAA, this kid doesn’t have anything beyond a hudl/maxpreps account. You could end up being right, I’ll definitely go over his hudl when I have the time.
Do we know if he even likes KU fwiw? He’s from hayseed/POWERTUCK territory like Dean Wade…
-
@BShark if you r talking to d-1 I wondered about fellow Mac player-coach underwood?
-
@BShark def KSU territory, and it hard to gauge how good the teams are that he plays against but I think he could be a good get for a 4 guy. Guys like Morningstar, Reed, Trelly guys from Kansas that weren’t really highly recruited by ended up being good players for us.
-
@kjayhawks didn’t kinnamons kid go to ksu and then transfer to ??? Washburn? Not sure where
-
From what I understand Wade would have picked KSU even if KU offered.
Also yeah Self has definitely had success with skilled but not super athletic KS players like Reed and Brady. Probably kids that Self doesn’t even take if they aren’t from KS given Self’s desire to go for athleticism over basketball skills.
I didn’t mention Releford because he was a top 50 kid like Ellis. It’s been so long that I don’t exactly remember his other offers. He popped for KU early but lots of other schools were interested including a few big time programs iirc.
-
Rele and Russ Rob are on the same team in Poland now which is pretty cool.
-
@BShark I heard wades relatives were all KU fans
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The Kinnamon kid on KSU’s roster is from MACs coaches brother, his kid goes to Pitt sate or FHSU I cant remember. KSU is heavy in Mac, but I know Kinnamon goes to Bill Selfs coaching seminars.
-
@kjayhawks that would be the St. John coach.
