Ok so lets see if new recruiting thread

KUSTEVE said:
If Robinson signs with us, and is immediately eligible, we win the national championship this year.
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.
-
It’s a trip!

Well I’m seeing where some other schools picking up some CB’S for my boy Emmit Williams - - -Damm -Hell even Oklahoma state has got some, Florida pick up some so now according to that we are bringing up the rear again.
I’m just curious, I wonder if the strong possibility of us maybe landing Robinson plus having Lawson on the horizon is steering him away? - -I know Williams and Robinson don’t play the same position but still just curious. - - - And whz up with Oklahoma State where the hell they coming from on this? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Okie Lite hired on an assistant with big time AAU ins. Same reason they lead for McCormack.
At the end of the day I don’t think Williams is a Jayhawk.
-
@BShark because…?
-
Not for lack of trying from KU. Good chance he doesn’t leave the state. I also don’t think he wants to go anywhere to sit on the bench which he would be doing at KU.
-
@BShark I have to disagree with ya there, if Emmit came here he wouldn’t be sittin the Bench or at least not for any long stretch by any means - to much of a talent sorry.- - -he may not start but he sure not going to riding the bench for very long periods. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I mean not starting, and he definitely would not start. Dedric will start next year.
-
@BShark ahh, got ya - -what is it coach says doesn’t really matter who starts the game it’s who is in at the end of a game come crunch time that matters - Start is just a word. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I would bet on Dedric playing 30+ minutes next year unless he messes it up with off the court crap. If KU gets Williams I will be happy, pleasantly surprised.
-
Read on other site that we offered Dontarius James to lure Zion Williamson. Is this old news?
-
@approxinfinity ya heard that awhile back when we started pulling oredicts for Zion - -Coach Self been getting Lit up pretty good for doing so from opposing Teams - in particular Kentucky, talking about how smudgy it was You know those guys lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 well hold on, remember back when we were recruiting DeAndre Daniels out of IMG Academy and offered his lesser known teammate Jamari Traylor? We know how that worked out for Jamari.

I believe Christian Garrett was taken as a walk-on to help get Daniels.
Googled and yes: http://www2.kusports.com/news/2015/mar/01/man-faith-basketball-bible-study-highlight-senior-/
It was hoped KU would also land Garrett’s best friend, IMG Academy’s DeAndre Daniels, who ultimately decided to attend UConn and now plays overseas.
Self says the bottom line is he has thoroughly enjoyed working with Garrett, who also was an IMG teammate of KU junior Jamari Traylor.
“Christian has been great for our team, great for our program,” Self said. “He’s been a great ambassador and representative of what we’re trying to do. He is our spiritual leader, without question. Although I haven’t been to one of his services, I’ve listened to him many times within the confines of our team.”
-
Well not that this comes as any surprise but just read where Bagley is going to announce where is committing to tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. on ESPN. - -Not that surprises us at all as we knew he wasn’t landing here, and since he didn’t make a visit to KU or Kentucky.
I had thought he was a Duke commit, but a good point was brought up, as he will also discuss his re-classification - - -Duke starts school at the end of August I believe while UCLA doesn’t starts a little later, it says they offer something the other schools don’t - - quarters - which would help him get what he needs for re- classification - -so anyways there you go, NO SUPRISE - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Just saw that about Bagley too. Does Duke even have an open scholly? Curious if anyone knows what their situation is.
-
Just went back to check on Bagley for sure, the thing UCLA can offer that the other schools cant’ - - quarters. - - -Bagley is still taking classes to finish degree - - - Duke and USC start at the end of august - - UCLA starts School in the end of September - -so he could work on finishing up classed for yet another month. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@RockkChalkk Not sure if they do or not, BUT looks like maybe UCLA might have an edge with them not Starting Class till the end of Sept, something that might make a difference for Bagley. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Scuttlebutt is Bagley to USC.
-
@BShark maybe a little surprise to me anyways. - -I figured Duke, that’s what seem to be the talk, then this about UCLA but doesn’t really matter - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I read the three schools are Duke, UCLA and USC. Looks like he likes California so it does not look good for Duke.
-
Bagley to USC makes zero sense from a playing time perspective. 2 NBA forwards on their roster already.
He starts at Duke. Bolden already proved he was a project. What a saga this kid has led on
-
Jalen Carey tentatively coming for Late Night. I don’t think he’ll make it with his other visits lined up really early compared to this one.

If Dotson and Grimes commit by then (fingers crossed) he certainly wouldn’t bother.

Good point. Dotson will definitely be announcing before Carey potentially gets here. We might be out of it after that announcement
-
Ouch! This guy has an agenda.
-
@hawkmoon2020 The comments sum it up -poorly written.
-
@BeddieKU23 Kind of like you watch Duke will now be out of the picture for Garland since they got Trae Jones and Duval. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Zion Griffin will visit during Late Night. Kid exploded this summer. He is already down to 4 and imo it’s us or ISU. HOWEVER he is a wing and obviously KU has a shot at Barrett and KING EMPEROR ZION WILLIAMSON. Soooo, will Griffin wait? Can he commit to KU today if he really wanted to? Tough questions that I don’t know the answer to.
I really like his game though, and he’d be a 4 year player.
-
It was kind of shocking that he cut Illinois. I think he wants Kansas. He has visits set to each school, KU is the last visit…
-
Oh and when I say exploded I mean he went from fringe top 200/unranked to TOP 75. Kid can hoop. ISU fans are rightfully a bit upset that KU might steal him. They even hope we land Barrett or Williamson instead.
Here is some Griffin for your viewing pleasure.
-
@BShark Nice, and a lefty? - -sweet - -of course I’m kind of bias as I’m a lefty. - -looks like decent hops, nice jumper, so you say he is down to 4 schools? - -which are the 4 other then Ku & Iowa State I guess, the other 2 are bud? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark I read that it’s KU - -Iowa State - -Illnois State - - -& Pitt, also read where we got the only CB right now so we are at 100%. gonna be interesting. What do we (KU ) do? - -247 lists him now at # 83.
I mean this is probably more of a sure bet but how does that effect Barrett - -Williamson? - -I mean the obvious is that it doesn’t - but we are not sure of the amount of Scholi’s. - - Surely be better with Barrett or Williamson - -but in reality I don’t think Williamson will end here - -Barrett - -I don’t know. - -what ya think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And there you have it boys & girls. - -Bagley re classifies & announces DUKE. - -What a surprise. lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Yep not surprising. We could have used him.

No this is not old news we did offered James
-
Mitchell Robinson announces his intentions to attend KU! Or so I expected to read by now. Wtf?!? Bill must’ve cooled his jets by asking for a commitment he wasn’t willing to make without considerable consideration.
-
Soon.
-
Well Zags Blog had the little article about Zion Griffin listing his four schools and his listed visit dates. - The one thing that I read and slaps me right in the face is - - He says he doesn’t have an exactly date for his commit but has a deadline date of end of September, and this is what sticks out to me he says - - UNLESS he likes a School so much and feels ready to commit on THE SPOT.
Hmmm this strikes me as we have a really golden opportunity right here, he is visiting here what I think the 15th of Sept? - -Late Night right? - -Late night has always been a big recruiting tool in the past, recruits have said repeatedly how the environment was crazy couldn’t get over how loud it was. I would have to feel if he really has interest in KU then it would not surprise me in the least as a matter of fact it would stun/floor me if he didn’t commit that night/ late night when he was here on his visit - taking in everything considered, he will see the crazed fans, how we love our basketball - -our team, how recruits get treated while they are here on that weekend. - ya I could very easily see him committing on the spot. - -what ya think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
