Recruiting Master Thread Part Deux
-
I bet Duke and U.K. Get involved
-
He would be a great backup center to have though… he would get PT here
-
Wow some stuff is goin down today…
-
The Tilmon release would seem to me that Missouri is involved
-
@BShark do you think mizzou would hire their dad?
-
Just crippled the Memphis program… Dedric almost left for the NBA after this season. They are very talented.
-
Is there enough room? Maybe they could make up a position lol.

The party usually gets started after the FF.

Seems very likely.

Yeah I don’t understand why he would transfer instead of entering the draft.
-
KU has reached out to the Kanter brother. Grad transfer big…

Contacting every available player apparently.
-
@BeddieKU23 Mizzou made the right call at the right time with Anderson if that is the case. Was Mizzou in on him at the beginning? Or is this some Cuonzo sweet talk going on?
-
@Kcmatt7 or the porters? Porters a ball hog though.
-
This is all Martin. They are in on Harris and Knox too…
-
@BeddieKU23 @BShark No brainer for both of those Memphis kids if they want to come here right?
-
Yeah this is Martin’s doing. And there is some stuff being floated around that he was recruiting Tilmon before he got his release which would be a NCAA violation. I wouldn’t be surprised if Illinois tries to block where he might go…
Apparently Martin if from the St Louis area, same as Tilmon…
-
@BShark Can’t believe it. Such a mediocre coach, but he must have a way with words. I’m so curious as to what he sells these kids on. Its like Calipari. Just so curious as to how their pitch is always better than everyone else’s.
Something tells me Cuonzo will be due for some sanctions problems soon enough. His recruiting ability is too good to be true.
-
Father is a nutcase so that’s an issue. The 3rd Lawson is supposed to be good as well. Dedric is much better then KJ. Talented kids but I don’t think you take both, if you could take Dedric by himself I would sign us up today
-
@BShark Ya your right , don’t know what I was thinking. I forgot about Evans having to sit a year. Well I’m just all over the place with Devonte. – One minute I think ya he is gone - -then turn around and get a feel more that he is coming back. - -Now once again feeling he may be gone. - - So obviously I have NO CLUE , would love to see him back but ummmm, I just can’t pin point one way or the other.
As far as Juiston goes - now for some reason I’m just feelin more and more that we might just land him. - -I think he would be a good pickup Time will tell. - -Recruit signing starts one week from today.
We will find out before long on Devonte and others as they have until 11:59 ET on the 23rd of April to declare… And ya as far as Bagley, ummm ya INSANE for sure would be the word - -real INSANE, - - -BUT then again - - you tell me , how many here ACTUALLY THOUGHT being 100% and totally honest the Andrew Wiggins would land here? -Kind of totally caught ALOT of people with their pants down SOOOOO, never say never, But ya I agree - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Yeah apparently Martin has a sister that is a principal at Tilmon’s HS. LOL.
-
Maybe it’s part of why he job hops so much. By the time any trouble is made, he is two jobs away…

Given that the staff didn’t want to deal with Tremont’s dad, it seems unlikely. Cunliffe’s dad and Newman’s dad more than meets the helicopter dad quota.
-
@BShark Really good. - - Dedric 20/10 - -& KJ was a 13/8 guy 40% from the three. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Kcmatt7 He is taking a visit to Missouri this weekend. - -read the article and says Missouri is leadin in front of St Louis for him. - -Talked about Martin having good relationship in East St Louis - -wouldn’t surprise me I the least if he lands there. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 Sounds like a good idea, but I don’t think they will separate IF he stays in College, I think they are going to want to stay together. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
OK. Soooo, here is a question. - -Do we have any snowballs chance in hell of getting MJ Walker to come her? - -pretty dam good. - -A article talking to him sayin he is getting his officials lined up - - has takin the one to Florida St - wanting to take his 4 others. - - -Says wants to make a decision in Apr/May.
He list his schools as: UCLA , Florida St , Georgia Tech , Virginia Tech , Maryland , Ohio St , KU , & UNLV. They was asking him about Georgia Tech if that was TO close to home - -he said ya some people saying being able to get away from home was part of the college experience - -said Georgia Tech was like 20 minutes away and Florida St was like 4 hours away. - -He said the schools program the academics & playing time was going to play a big role to where he goes - -wants to start - - what a surprise But knows has to earn it. - -So ANY CHANCE at all? - -I know we have been recruiting him - -any thoughts? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Only chance is if Svi leaves
-
@BeddieKU23 AND? - -Your thoughts as of today of that happening? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
If Dedrick almost left for the NBA, what are the chances he stays at KU for two years since he will have to sit one year?
-

I think he stays. Walker wants immediate playing time
-
Walker isn’t coming to KU.
-
@JayHawkFanToo You mean sit for one year and not play a game? Or sit for one year and play one year?
If he sits one year and plays one year and then leaves, I’m totally ok with that. Because it means he had a helluva season.
-
Missouri fans hangin that crootin banner.
I don’t think they end up with Knox.
-
From what I remember Lawson wanted to be a OAD but he didn’t perform well at the combine and came back to play with his brother in the end. The scouts were pretty bullish on his chances. From the games I saw Dedric looked much improved but I think he would get the same evaluation. If they really transfer i think they will stay the 2 years
-
People freaking out because Missouri will probably end up with a better recruiting class than KU.
-
My question was that considering how close he is/was to leaving for the NBA now, what are the chances that he sits one year and plays at least one year? This would delay his departure by two full years, right? Wouldn’t he be better off being the big shot at Memphis for one more year and then leaving for the NBA?
-
This whole situation is purely about the dad. He was promised a big position on Pastner’s staff whereas Tubby gave him a small meaningless position. So he was completely sideways with Tubby and they couldn’t work it out.
-
Yet another helicopter dad screwing up his kid’s future.
-
@JayHawkFanToo So Pastner hired their dad to land them both. And then Tubby demoted the dad. So it seems as though Tubby caused some relationship issues or something. So if Pastner was still at Memphis Dedric would probably be playing a 3rd year at Memphis instead.
Sounds kind of like Porter’s situation. Using his son’s to try and skip the line and all the hard work it takes to become a really good coach at that level.
-
Andrew Slater: “Expect Allen to Kansas.”
-
Which would be in line with what the NC St people are saying…
-
Norm hitting the trail hard today. Stopping in to see Juiston and Allen.
-
Well, I grew more than somewhat exhausted while scanning the posts on this thread. My 2 cents: Bill Self declared that he really was searching for a dependable point guard; and I presume a recruit who can play immediately, not having to sit out a year. I look to see that need fulfilled.
-
Good news with Bragg leaving. Come on down Shakur
-
JUCO prospect Shakur Juiston (Hutch) will visit UNLV this weekend, per a source
From another site. (phog)
I heard from a guy who is friends with a Hutch assistant coach that Iowa State and KU are still the leaders
The dorms the Hutch players live in are not that great (and oddly, Coach Eck lives there with them), so I would have to think that a Lawrence campus visit and trip to McCarthy Hall and Allen Field House would by an eye-opener.*
-
5 star recruit from Illinois reopens his recruiting. He backed out after Underwood was hired. He says he is still interested in the U of I but wants to explore other options. His name is Jeremiah Tilmon and he’s a 4 or 5 star recruit depending on the scouting service. Not sure if he’s interested in KU or vice-versa, but it’s always interesting to consider.
-
KU was involved before.
He’s going to end up at Missouri of all places. Their new coach, Martin has a connection with Tilmon. And Michael Porter and Tilmon played AAU ball together for 2 seasons. Porter has been in his ear
-
Already a done deal to Missouri.
-
Bill will be there with Norm to meet with Thomas Allen. Um yeah…
-
Bill says he wants a quick twitch 4…comment appears to be aimed at Juiston
-
Definitely fits the bill. Among Juiston’s strengths are driving from the perimeter into the lane and taking contact and finishing. Great athlete as well.
-
So yeah the VIP rumour from 247 awhile back was that Bragg would transfer and Juiston would commit to KU. Seems fine to just openly post it now given the amount of time that has passed and since Bragg has announced his transfer.
-
This person will deserve major kudos if correct.
The first part Bragg transferring was the worst kept secret ever (so not much “inside” knowledge there). Being right about Juiston would be something
