Next recruit up
-
Well you can now officially add another to the transfer list. - -Chase Jeter announced he is transferring out of Duke. - - -Ya people saying just another case of K taking another 5 star recruit and screwing with his future - -people saying Jeter mistakes was going to Duke in the first place, He says looking to go somewhere closer to home. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Jeter officially announced he will be transferring today. I’d be shocked if it was KU.
Oh I see Jayballer mentioned it. @jayballer54 when kids go to Duke, UK or KU they know what they are signing up for. Be great or you don’t play.
-
Father says he’ll be in the Pac-12.
Interesting to note they want a school where he’ll play 30 minutes and be a featured offensive player. I just died laughing reading that. 30 minutes? Maybe if you stop flopping. Featured offensive player, maybe if you were skilled enough for a coach to make that happen. Neither of which Jeter is currently ready to do.
-
Kind of interesting, Radio 810 all over the Porter scenario. - -Being said Micheal Porter Sr has been offered position by Mu & confirmed by Porter Sr - - So they wondering why he has not accepted the offer? - -Trying to come up with reason as to why - -the only one they come up with is - -waiting on another offer - - possibly Oklahoma? they say - -Oklahoma is one of four schools that Porter lists now as he is considering - -possibly re-connecting with Trae Young, - -sure hope not- -that would NOT BE GOOD. - - Still think he ends up in the end run at Missery. - -They said another possible reason might be looking for something more then a one year deal, afraid after Micheal gone after his yr then he gone. – We shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
JT3 is out at Georgetown.
-
He says that, but I’d still possibly bet Nevada is in play.
Oh and this is from the Duke 247 site…before Jeter announced of course.

SHOCKER. Lol.
-
Don’t fret, people are just speculating because they didn’t decide in 2.2 seconds. He has to get his release first and I’m sure Missouri and his father are negotiating behind the scenes.
-
Like he certainly isn’t going to a GOOD Pac team and getting 30 minutes a night.
-
Exactly, they have some really lofty expectations of Chase if we are taking what he’s shown on the court at face-value…
-
He scored 100 points in 2 seasons in limited minutes in both. Yup feature scorer in the Pac-12 a year from now
-
That image was ripped from a premium article so probably a good idea to not repost it to the phog or somewhere with high visibility. Guess I could have typed out the percentages, but w/e.
-
Hopefully Bragg is drinking from the same crazy. Bragg is frustrating but if he is the 3rd/4th big next year that’s fine.
-
I saw that meter in the Duke thread yesterday. Was interesting to see the intel on Allen at this point, insuiating he might be back again
-
With all the bullcrap drama he might as well come back and enter a weaker draft.
-
Kennard is better than Allen, IMO.
-
Luke is definitely a better offensive player but he’s a liability on defense. I think that’s the only concern for him leaving this season with scouts. He’s also not an elite athlete nor does he have ideal size…
Allen bombed trying to be a PG both in on-court performance and mentally. He’s been exposed coming back and has IMO no chance of restoring his draft stock to where it was after his freshman year. He can certainly come back and erase a lot of concerns about his game with another year. If I was a NBA GM I wouldn’t want anything to do with him, ticking time bomb always.
-
I like how there isn’t a narrative when K or Cal have a 5 star player transfer. But when one doesn’t work out for KU, it’s all gloom and doom crap.
-
I can’t imagine anyone around the program thought Bragg’s season would end up where it has to this point. It still seems the staff has confidence in him the way they were talking him up for this tournament and what kind of role he can still bring. Tonight is another opportunity for him to impact the team…
-
If you read their board, they are definitely in negative mode post the loss. But your right, we don’t hear a lot of people talking negatively about it. If Bolden leaves though we may see some headlines…
-
Not sure what Bragg offers tonight. He got abused by Ward and Purdue has bulky bigs as well.
I moreso meant the national narrative as well as recruiting vibes. It just seems that everything bounces off K and Cal.
Bolden should honestly stay. Who does Duke have to play ahead of him? Presumably he would start with Carter.
-
@BShark ya I understand that, - -but this kid was the # 11 player in the nation that’s not cold cheese, the problem is kids like this get buried on the bench - -too many really good players that’s one of the problems where it’s just a ;loaded one and done after a one and done there are many many schools where he could of went and probably would of been a lot better off. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
This is why coaches should trust their own evals and not blindly follow what the ranking services say. Different sport but this was a huge issue for Mack Brown at the end of his Texas tenure.
Also, when Duke basically just takes nothing but 4/5 stars, well some aren’t going to play…
-
@BShark Exactly my point - - Duke is almost exclusive 5 stars, you can be good & still get buried, not really get that chance to develop. - -I kind of agree with your point also about Nevada, as was stated off zags blog, he was looking to transfer somewhere closer to home, & him being out of Las Vegas would make sense for sure. - -Hell could be he checks into UNLV maybe. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
When I saw Jeter play he wasn’t good though. Not sure if he ends up being much more than Landen Lucas at this point. Of course things can change and obviously there were some things there that made him get ranked that highly.
And to be clear he has to improve to get to Landen levels. Probably won’t do all the little things Landen does either.
-
I posted earlier about John Thompson iii in the let the firings begin - -just curious, do you think we might have any possible transfer out of G-Town that KU might show interest in? - – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I agree, we have no idea what Bragg will bring. I’m just trying to stay positive because anything he does bring that’s positive will help this team win tonight. An offensive rebound and a put-back, making FT’s, an open mid-range jumper, getting a key block… Those are things we know he can do when he’s engaged.
And I also agree about the national narrative. Everyone must be numb to their recruiting ways and just figure attrition is going to happen, or some are not going to pan out. Who knows, KU does seem to get a lot of flack for its OAD’s that didn’t pan out. Hopefully Josh helps restore some of the national reputation.
-
Slim pickings on that team. Govan is a 6’10 big that improved in his Soph year. He can step out and shoot some. I think Georgetown will get someone that will energize the area and keep what little roster is still on scholarship
-
Yeah I mean we still heard about friggin Selby in the Young recruitment from the Youngs.
-
I was shocked Jeter was that highly rated coming out of HS. But we also have to remember some kids are rated high on what they think the level they can get to in the future. Obviously it seems a lot of evals missed the mark on him to this point.
-
Definitely which was kind of shocking. Even Collins was apart of that and to most KU fans Collins is sacred. But the Young’s ate them up because they didn’t have successful NBA career’s. It truly shows how narrow some kids/parents view things from. Being 24/7/365 KU fans we see things differently, not as “Black and White” as the young’s made it seem about Self with point guards
-
Cliff wasn’t as much of a disaster as Cheick imo. The staff deserved a little flack for Cheick. Despite Embiid the negative impact of the Cheick situation will continue to be felt. Bragg isn’t helping either. Hopefully Bragg turns it around and Doke/Preston both work out.

I remember not being super excited when KU offered.

I wonder if Patrick Ewing would consider it to resurrect his alma mater. Has been an NBA asst for years. I could see that being a huge recruiting attraction to potential OADs. Have no idea how much of a winner as a college coach he would be, but some OADs don’t care, they just want contacts and visibility (Simmons, anyone?).
-
Good point, Georgetown must hit a home-run with whoever it hires. It’s a really strong recruiting area that has some nice prospects in future classes coming up. A lot of local recruits have been going elsewhere because of JT3’s style of play and the general lack of momentum within the program. Ewing definitely would be a big name with Big’s. As you stated not sure how he’d transition from the NBA to College. There has been a trend so far with coaches getting hired with limited coaching experience though…
-
The more I read from Young’s circle the more I was like meh… I wish Young nothing but the best at OU and KU will be fine.
Give me hard workers like Garrett any time.
Not sure how Collins gets put on Self/the staff. Dude ate his way out of the league and was short. And I loved Collins but it is what it is.
-
Georgetown isn’t even relevant anymore sad to say for them. Of course one great hire changes that instantly.
-
Cliff was a poor defender and always had one foot out the door IMO. His family helped the other leg.
Cheick is such a crappy situation. But generally agree he never gained the trust of his coaches or players. What can we do, in both cases we didn’t get nearly enough time with either for Self to truly make his mark on them. It’s not like Josh Jackson came to KU and Self transformed him. Most top talents don’t come to College and have that situation change them. It’s the Frank Mason’s of the world’s and the Landen Lucas’s that help prove Self is the real deal.
-
Somehow we always come back to Garrett and I smile. Will be giddy if we get at least 3 years with that stud
-
Cheick was totally lost. That’s on him and the coaches. Agree though with these OAD players, you mostly have to hope you get the right one. With the way Self is, those oads really need to have high bbiq. Self is loathe to play a raw player that makes lots of mistakes, but that’s what a good chunk of OADs are now. Kids don’t really stay in school to develop anymore.
@BeddieKU23 said:

I think there aren’t a lot of scenarios where he only stays two years but certainly they exist. If he shows he can run the point in year two well that is certainly tempting for NBA scouts with his size.
-
His size and defense will have him on the radar for the NBA at some point. Could be a similar development arc to Vick. Garrett’s goals should be about adding good muscle weight and working tirelessly at that jump shot.
Cheick is a personal failure of mine. Saw him play a ton in HS and was just convinced he had the tools to be great with Self’s help. Boy did that end up wrong
-
Porter got his release.
Don’t worry Washington wasn’t worried about letting him go. He wasn’t that good anyway
-
To be fair if Cheick’s circle wasn’t so dead set on him being OAD, we probably would have seen him be a solid player for KU.
-
Duke insiders have moved Bolden’s chance to stay to 1% within the last few hours LOL.
-
So, someone fill me in - - -whz going on at Virginia? – -Yesterday Shayok - - -Reuter announced they transferring out – & now today Thompson announces he is transferring out - - WTH is going on there? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Smells like a coach leaving for another job perhaps.
Interesting post from BHam if you didn’t see it. Mentioned that more than anything Self/KU doesn’t want to deal with Waters’ dad.
-
@BShark You think Bennett might be leaving Virginia? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Garret was selected the Texas Gatorade Player of the Year. BTW, he is listed as 6’-8" now.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I freaking LOVE that kid. I am so glad we got him instead of Trae Young.
-
Well you can add another player to the list. – not only Porter leaving Washington but - – Noah Dickerson is looking to transfer and explore possibilities - - -Going to be a very interesting spring - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Agree. this is one prospect that keeps getting better every single day…
-
Yep I posted in a thread about it. I think a thread about Garrett but maybe it was here. Good stuff.
