Ok so lets see if new recruiting thread
-
@mayjay I have heard folks talking about that and it is a good idea. Of course, one cant help dream about a scenario where he plays with us this year. Is he versatile enough to play the four? He looks pretty quick from what I’ve seen. Would be sweet to have him and Dok play at the same time. Thats two legitimate shot blockers and a lot of length on the front line.
-
Bill knows how to showcase players like Zion. Zion knows this.
-
GOOD NEWS!!!
-
For those of you who don’t know that was Robinson’s post on his snapchat storyline!
-
What else did it say?
-
That’s all.
-
@Statmachine exciting. let’s get him eligible for this year.
-
LSU looking pretty likely.
-
Report have came out tonight that LSU is no longer recruiting Mitchell Robinson
-
@blackmild33 hmmmmm, wonder why they not interested now? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 no ship?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Ya that’s a very high possibility, didn’t someone else here say that no one had any scholi’s available? - -If things play out right & Mitchell gets some other things together, then we just had a 5 star stud handed to us on a platter would be sweet. - --ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Look at this dumbass.
-
@BShark now that u point it out!
-
He could say no to college ball too! I’m waiting to hear from coach.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Where did you read or hear LSU was no longer interested? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 All over the internet. But particularly this: https://twitter.com/GoodmanESPN/status/895829004783161344
-
@BShark Ya I pulled it up off the LSY scout forum, they had an article, talking like very slim he going to be able to play this yr, that’s a big part why they backed off recruiting him - -Looks a lot like he will either have to sit - - -JR College - - -Play over sea’s -or just sit completely out and then declare next year - -we will see what happens. - -I would think if he wanted to opt for anything but play College Ball he wouldn’t even be making any Visit any wasting people’s time though I dunno. - – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
, we have got a few pick in for Mr Mitchell Robinson
-
@Statmachine Looks like there is info floating out there that he was never fully processed at WKU. If WKU then denied his application it would be like he never went to WKU at all and he would be immediately eligible at KU. Probably helps that the WKU president is Tim Caboni who worked at KU for awhile before going back home to his alma mater when the previous president retired.
Looooookin like Mitchell Robinson is gonna suit up in crimson and blue this year.
-
-
If Robinson signs with us, and is immediately eligible, we win the national championship this year.
-
I think this weekend could be a good one?
-
No matter what if you mix Robinson in the rotation he will make an impact. Who in a million years would have thought KU would have three McDonalds all American’s in our front court? A McDonalds all American point Guard and 2 seniors in the back court. With Vick and Garrett BOTH impact players and both could start on any team in the country. Then our scouting team is top notch with our transfer pipeline! This could be the perfect storm guys?

LSU no longer recruiting Mitchell Robinson. Announcing his decision this weekend after KU visit - if eligible, would be quite the pickup.
-
@Statmachine It fixes the one glaring weakness this roster had… It’s pretty much perfect.
-
Just me assuming, but more likely than not LSU just couldnt’ find a way to make room for him. And no sense kicking someone off the team for a guy who may or not be eligible. I would have seriously questioned LSU’s coach and his morales if he was willing to take that big of a risk with both the lockerroom and personnel.
-
Someone on a UK board said this lol “Soon the (transfer) death star will be fully operational.”
-
I also found this "Per marble mouth:
LSU no longer recruiting him.
Also another new wrinkle, he may not have been fully processed in at Western Kentucky. So all the Dean would have to do is reject his application and it’s like he was never there. Would be able to play right away at KU.
And that Dean is former high level brass at Kansas. "
I wonder if that is really how this plays out?
-
@Statmachine I mean depends on if he got credit, or aid. I think that the fact he purposely skipped the trip to Costa Rica trip will help him a lot. The fact that he changed his mind before the Fall school year started should help as well.
The more I look at it, my best guess would be that the NCAA will rule him ineligible for the Fall and let him play starting in the Spring. They can’t just let him play right away, for fear of future precedent. But they also would catch a ton of backlash if they don’t let him play at all this year. Seems like a win-win for all parties involved.
-
@Statmachine ya I saw that - -these guys, man - -another yesterday was talking about what criteria he would have to meet - -sexually assaulting a woman on the KU campus - -you talk about total lack of class. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 The name calling and stones they are throwing are unreal on some of the UK boards! I mean calling KU shady is one thing coming from WSU but coming from UK its like WOW? They are jealous as ever and I find it entertaining as H. E. double hockey stick’s!
-
Lol UK fans. Because world wide Wes never did anything for Cal. Loooool I’m dying here.
-
Gotta love it, but makes me curious. With Devon being from Charlotte NC - - why wasn’t Duke - - North Carolina Or NC State a far as that goes kind of curious how these schools wasn’t involved a lot more. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The stache for Mitchell Robinson. Yeah, I’ll do that.
-
@BShark yep. No real weaknesses. One can hope!
-
@Kcmatt7 I agree with your reasoning. That would have been a big gamble by Wade and he would have taken some heat if it didn’t pay off, whereas KU has nothing to lose.
-
@jayballer54 Dotson is actually from Chicago originally.

Not an unreasonable prediction. No one would 1. have more size than us 2. there would not be a talent gap between us and any other team 3. the inside outside balance could be just as good if not better than 08 4. we could play a half court game better because we have more height and an additional shot blocker. Even if he only can play for the spring semester, no question he would make a big difference for us and may well be the reason we win it all.
-
@BShark True, BUT he has been in NC long enough that their programs ought to of caught wind and got involved. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Well UNC got some early commits and Duke has some heavy leans like Tre Jones.
-
I can see the NCAA not wanting to set a precedent but if there is a loophole or a technicality that would allow him to play, there is not much the NCAA can do about it either.
KU can say that it spent $100K to get Diallo qualified and this time they will do the same but will ask the NCAA to pay for all the expenses KU incurs if it prevails and if there is a legal loophole or technicality KU can use the NCAA will back off.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Yea I mean there is probably so much already going on behind the scenes. I would love to have access to documents that KU’s lawfirm probably has access to from prior NCAA rulings.
I guess at this point, I wouldn’t be surprised about his eligibility in any capacity. I do think that there is probably one hell of an argument to be made.
NCAA has lost several cases in court in the past though. Probably best to save themselves an embarrassment and let the kid play. NCAA came to a pretty quick ruling after Diallo hired a lawyer and threatened legal action. I’m sure KU learned from that situation.
-
@Statmachine Even UK recruits can’t repel transfer firepower of that magnitude!!
I’m not so sure KU would be the empire in that analogy, though. UK seems a little more empire-y to me and KU seems more rebel-ish. And Cal is definitely the Emperor. He just needs some robes and a hood.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Where does K fit in?
-
Somewhere in the prequels. Coach K and Duke aren’t in the original trilogy. Most of Duke’s success has come recently with K (as compared to the longer histories of KU and UK).
Edit: And I’m referring to the order in which the films were made rather than the chronology of the Star Wars universe.
-
LSU fans are bitter.
-
Probably all the losses to Alabama taking their toll.

K is Darth Maul.
Oh wait, It might be Laettner…

Does anyone trip anyone in Star Wars? If so, we know who Grayson is.
