Next recruit up
-
@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.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 correct
-
Did u hear about this game? Made national news

-
@BShark Tilmon better end up in Lawrence now. He should be priotity #1. And Waters #2. Then any of the other leftovers from IU and UW when Romar inevitably ends up at Mizzou. Did Crean land anyone at Indiana?
-
Tilmon will go wherever the assistant coach from Illinois goes. Whoever gets hired at Illinois will think hard about keeping that guy just to keep Tilmon. That seems to be what has held the Illinois/Tilmon marriage together. Unless Tilmon breaks free from that assistant it doesn’t sound promising
-
Yeah I don’t think he will. Lots of people want Tilmon but I don’t think it’s realistic.
-
Huh, ya I’ll go ahead and say up front - -not really trying to read anything in this - just thought it was interesting and WHY? - - So don’t think I’m trying to imply anything just passing casual conversation more then anything. - -But still brings up a question Why?
Just receives a prediction for Ku on Truval - -It’s been a pretty much fore gone conclusion he is on his way to Duke - -so why would this guy give a prediction to KU? - -The Guy is Dylan Prezkop is how made the predict. just thoughts in my head - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 who said it was a foregone conclusion he’s on his way to Duke. The recruits that are still around are looking for their best situation. I really don’t know why any top recruit would sign a LOI until they know who’s coming back.
-
@Ralph WELL not really sure where you may have been, pretty common been known or reported that Duke is clear cut leader for him to commit - -he has come out and said how much he has enjoyed his visits to duke more then one - doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure that out. - -widely known Duval is duke’s top target - that was also written on today - they were talking about how Waters had Duke on his list until he committed to G-town but Duke has Duval as their top target. - -Hell he isn’t allowed to sign no LOI right now has to wait, so do to popular knowledge umm ya it has been a pretty foregone conclusion he is a heavy Duke lean - If you have been following here - -pretty much the same fore gone conclusion people feeling the same way. - -Duke has made it perfectly clear they are in need of a point guard next year - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 we’ll see, I don’t know if he would qualify to play anywhere but overseas.
-
@jayballer54 when I said I really don’t know why any top recruit would sign a LOI until they know who’s coming back. I wasn’t talking about just Duvall I was talking about all top recruits. I understand making a verbal commit but why sign a LOI before the draft deadline to pull your name. Look at Waters, GT doesn’t have to release him from his LOI.
I could really care less what you have read on zagablog or 247 about the clear cut leader. What did they say about Ayton.
-
@Ralph DAM DUDE. why the attitude? - -lmao nice - -really nice hell you wanna go that route then we can do that - -I could give a rats as what YOU think OR feel how’s that? - - I could care less about what you think now what? - -HAVE A GREAT DAY. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Almost nobody knew about Ayton. Sean Miller was doing work completely in the dark. Most recruitments are not that way and available info is pretty good.
-
@jayballer54 I said I could careless about what you read, not what you think or how you feel. Zagsblog, 247, espn right now the only people that know what Duvall is going to do is him. What they write is speculation.
-
@Ralph Exactly. That’s why I don’t get all worked up over it. It’s nice to know who KU is recruiting, but until the LOI is signed, recruiting is just another crap shoot like the Dance. I think the majority or the recruits who come to KU for Midnite Madness always say it’s crazy and would be a great place to play. But most are looking at where will I be the big dog from day one.
-
Scott says don’t expect KU to get Waters.
-
I agree. Remember the 70s and 80s when boxing was huge? Every decent athlete was going to be the next Ali or Sugar Ray and only a handful succeeded and then it was football and all wanted to be the next Jim Brown or OJ Simpson. Likewise with current athletes, every top 100 HS players considers himself a OAD and most of the top 10 believe they are the next Jordan or Bird or Magic or Curry and none of them are or will be…unless you are Lonzo Ball and your father claims your are now better than all of them combined…
Lavar Ball believes he would have killed Jordan one-on-one, this is the player that averaged 2.2 ppg in his one year in college while Jordan was averaging 35 ppg in the NBA…yes, Jordan would have died…while rolling on the floor laughing his arse off. Now he wants to sell his BBB sports apparel brand, that so far sells piece meal from a web site, and the price is 1 Billion dollars for the rights to the 3 kids, except he could not sign a contract until the youngest is out of college which I believe is in 2020; this is just laughable and setting his kids for ridicule.
-
Ball is a crazy dude.
-
Crazy does not begin to describe him…even Charles Barkley thinks he has crossed into stupid territory.
-
Just read that Shakur, Juiston -who averages 16.5 ppg- - - 11.7 rpg -& 1.9 blocks that we have talked about has listed NINE schools at this point. - -Says he doesn’t or won’t listen to others, BUT these nine are his top right now.
Rutgers , St Joe’s , VCU , U Conn , KU , Iowa State , UNLV , Rhode Island & Oklahoma. - - so that’s where that’s at right now - -I guess they starting to play in tourney this week. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Ok, so looking for some help. - - What’s the scoop on this kid - -Emmit Williams? - -Guess he is Trevon’s teammate . - -Just heard some others talking about him - guess he has like a kick ass attitude - -kick butt now, take names later, - people saying they would to have a kid like this. - -Must be some kind of interior player, I know zero on him - -people saying probably going to be hard to get out of Florida - - - -Anybody know anything? - - Have we been recruiting him? - -Holler. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 search Emmit there are a # of posts about him,
-
Yes KU is recruiting him. If the staff gets the vibe that he will leave Florida then expect him to be a priority target.
-
@jayballer54 I believe he is 6’ 7" 210 pounds. Suppose to have a high energy motor. Coach Roberts has been on him. Not sure of his interest in KU.
-
FIRE UP THE RUMOUR MACHINE. Interesting tweet from Duval…,…,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,.,
-
@BShark your thoughts?
-
Trying not to overreact.
-
@BShark you think it means Duke doesn’t want him?
-
@BShark maybe they got a peek at his high school transcripts
-
That’s what most think, but it could be jack shit, he’s an 18 year old kid after all.
-
Seton Hall fans all over it.
-
Have read throughout his recruitment that they are in fact a real option.
-
So he be like…I can go to KU and be like Jackson or Wiggins or one of the dozen plus player from KU in the NBA…or, I can go to Seton Hall and be like…hmmm…like…hmm…when is the last time Seton Hall sent a player to the NBA???
-
Samuel Dalembert, Isaiah Whitehead (news to me, I had to look it up)
-
Dalembert was drafted in 2001, Whitehead…I have no clue.
-
Seton Hall has a basketball team?
-
Bet it’s not bball related
-
Probably, which is why people going completely nuts over it is hilarious (I believe the all caps in my prior post gave it away as a bit tongue-in-cheek). He is 18, might be about a girl for all we know.

Hey, Bill Raftery coached there!
And PJ Carlissimo before he became more famous for being choked by Sprewell:
"NBA Commissioner David Stern suspended Sprewell for 82 games before an arbitrator reduced the sentence to 68 games, costing Sprewell $6.4 million and his shoe deal with Converse.
“Sprewell deemed the punishment too harsh. ‘I wasn’t choking P.J. that hard,’ Sprewell told 60 Minutes. ‘I mean, he could breathe.’”
(From ESPN Classic article)
Now that is a decisive punishment!
-
@mayjay Sprewell and the NBA was a bit out of control in that time frame. Ron Artest is another “fun” memory for the NBA. Malice at the Palace
