@BShark What are the chances we end up getting Antwann Jones? He decommitted from Ok St and we had previously recruited him.
-
@approxinfinity Unlikely. He listed KU but KU hadn’t even been out to see him yet.
-
@BShark well it seemed fine to OSU. Things could change. A lot more scholarships to fill… I think we are due for new names to start popping up.

Dotson and Grimes deciding early would be good either way. Obviously better if they pick KU.
Maryland would still take Dotson but it looks like they want to also take Ayala. Ayala obviously isn’t going to Miami now and it looks like he is getting squeezed out of his Cuse offer by Carey. Ayala is def a PG and Maryland will still have Cowan as well. I think it’s fairly easy to sell Dotson on the starting PG spot but of course I have seen Maryland fans pointing to our roster having Moore + Garrett and Grimes being a likely addition.
Could be KU only gets one of Grimes and Dotson which would be totally fine.

I am having a hard time figuring out which posts are being responded to when there is just a name and no quote or specific player mentioned since we have multiple parallel posts from multiple posters about multiple players! Can y’all at least include the kid’s name rather than just “he”? Thanks!

"Good point! Here in th’ South, though, we just say “y’all” and it covers all possibilities.

Jesse Newell had a podcast with Matt Scott. Pretty good.
Sounds like Harvey is legitimately interested in hearing from other schools. Reading between the lines, it sounds like JRE will be a Jayhawk for sure. Lines up with other things I have read and/or heard.
-
@BShark I listened to that too. Really solid podcast. 2019 should be a low volume recruiting year. Get JRE, Lawson, and Harvey to go along with Jacobs and call it good. Not sure we have a shot with many top guys in 19.

Agree. That’s a great class especially if the staff closes 18 as we are hoping.
Malik Hall is a really appealing player if needed but might not be room. Similar position as JRE and Chandler.
If he is willing to likely redshirt (barring rapid development) I feel that Samuell Williamson would be a solid legacy take and 4-5 year guy.
-
Rumour mill saying Dotson will commit to MD shortly.
-
@BShark Well if he does- - then I’m kicking him off my Christmas list. - -It is what it is , we were good before him - -we will be fine after him - IF that is truly the case. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well we have hear it’s over all but done - -Devon is headed to Florida great connection with the staff - -done deal - -Well evidentally not that great of connection. - -If Devon was sold and had such the great connection then they wouldn’t be recruiting these other two as hard.
Now we are hearing going to commit any minute or Maryland , well if he does hope it’s soon I’m not getting any younger - - No did-respect intended to you B-Shark just nobody knows what the hell for sure is going on till he OFFICALLY signs - -same goes for Grimes - -people now so sure he is landing at Kentucky - -hmmmm guess what else I heard - - the world is coming to an end tomorrow, wonder which will happen first lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
From what I can tell reading articles and posts on the Maryland board.
Dotson will be KU or MD. Ayala (another guard) would like to commit to Maryland, but the Maryland staff is holding out hope for Dotson. Should be decided soon one way or the other.

So good at basketball. Can’t wait for him to commit.

One time KU target Noah Locke will announce his decision tomm.
Important why? Because he’s likely going to Florida.
While a lot of people like to put him in the “combo guard” role he’s 6’2 and has limited options for position versatility. He might not be a natural PG but he’s unlikely going to be a full-time SG in College I would think. Might throw a wrench into Dotson’s plans…

From some random MD poster.
Talked to my buddy this morning and he said that the Dotson family seems to be torn between schools. They love Kansas, but are worried about PT due to a possible commitment from Grimes. Florida seems to be running third as of right now, but is apparently still in it due to their longstanding relationship. A commitment from Nembhard would eliminate Florida, however that seems to be weeks away with his OV scheduled for mid-October. Maryland gave them a lot to think about on this visit though and I think Maryland’s pitch to Dotson resonated with him and the family.
-
Here’s my tidbits for the day:
Dotson: Seems like Florida is out with all of the other PG type players set to commit there in the near future. The Maryland insider on 247 has changed his CB pick to foggy. According to Dotson’s family, his MD visit was “good.” It just feels to me that there is a hangup with Dotson over committing to KU and maybe @BShark is correct that it is a PT concern over Grimes. There was also that note earlier that Self didn’t win over the family on the visit, maybe there is some truth to that. Dunno but it sure feels like he is hunting for another option. Problem is, each of these places are going to feel like a major settling when you stack them up to the facilities and tradition at KU.
My opinion, Dotson should be the one to take control of the situation and just commit. There is no doubt he will play a ton of minutes from day 1 even if Grimes goes there too. Don’t shy away from the competition if that is the holdup, embrace it. I personally think if they both come that they will both play 30+ minutes a game. Dotson is a taylor made guard for the KU system, even if Grimes is the better pro prospect, I can’t see Dotson not playing as many minutes as he can handle. I’ve watched a lot of KU basketball over the years and Dotson would be a superstar for the jayhawks.
On a site note, I actually think Grimes is going to end up at Kentucky anyway. Just a gut feeling.
Romeo Langford: Saw a note on twitter from a guy that overheard some coaches talking and the inside sources are saying that he is Kansas bound and will wait until the season is over to do his commitment.
Jermaine Harris: PF ranked about #80 or so in the composite was supposed to visit KU this coming weekend but it sounds like he is making his announcement this Friday. Haven’t seen the official cancellation of his visit yet but if the announcement is definitely Friday then it isn’t going to be KU. It might end up being West Va though.
-
@RockkChalkk I’d be actual money that it will best West Virginia for Harris. No sense in him visiting KU at this point anyway, KU is now stacked inside for next season.

See this is what confuses me , some say Grimes plays the point , but he could very easily play the 2 as a SG and Devon run the team at PG - -If Devon was out then Grimes could always slide over and take the PG during that time. - -Grimes has stated that he wouldn’t have any problems sliding to the 2 as long as he could play along side some other very good players - -Ummm Excuse me - here is where Devon would step in , Quinten slide to the 2 and Devon run point , they wouldn’t even be competing for time - -they could both very easily be on the floor at the same time.
I think you’ll will see Devon announce pretty soon , whether it be KU or Maryland - -one way or the other, I think Florida is out. - -With Them in on Nembard heavily and also Locke showing major interest there - -I just don’t see it. I think Florida realized the ship had sailed with Devon thus this is why we are seeing the other activity with others for them now. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And now the real waiting begins. - - -Dotson - - -Grimes - -Pretty sure Devon is now done with Visits. - - I believe these are the next two that will commit & I feel Devon is not that far away.
I think we will see Devon and Quentin commit early. - -I also think Romeo and Zion will be spring - -these seem to be the 4 that we now are in on heavily- - -Time I drawing closer.
Some others have their gut feeling , just like I have mine - -nothing more - -nothing less and my gut is telling me just like day one , in the end Devon will commit to KU - -m gut is also saying when it is all said and done Quentin will ALSO commit to KU may take longer but in the end run - - umm ya.
Romeo 50/50 - -& Zion I just feel in the end we lose out - -just me. - - IF somehow we do end up with Quinten , Devon & Romeo to go along with De-Sousa & McCormack - -that my friends would be a huge class - - - - keeping my fingers crossed and my gut in check. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well this will add for reading , maybe give you a little hee hee. And yes for those before you ask - -Like I do normally - Yes I do scoop over other boards - -yes I am still married - - and yes we get along super. - -I say this just so we can get that out and people won’t have to worry as to why I spend so much time on other boards lmao.
Anyways found this amusing of the Kentucky board, Thread was if anyone had heard how the Grimes visit had went this weekend?
Response poster said he had read somewhere that Grimes had talked a lot about Kansas and how great their crowd was. - - Said he couldn’t remember where read and don’t know if it was true or not. ( lol )
That set off this response: - -Why would you even respond if you are going to put something ignorant like that for an answer. - -( hey that fired up the Kentucky people right? - - I mean of course all fully expecting Grimes to Say Oh my visit to Kentucky was un-believable - Coach Cal is a super Coach - -the fans were awesome - -loved my visit - simply the best. - -Then when this poster posts this - - lmao - -OH HELL NO THIS CAN’T BE . - -Of course probably a troll but damn still funny.
Then another responded : Unfortunately I read the same thing on our pay board - - - -ooops - - uh oh - -this can’t be - -this can’t be - -can it ? - - lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Grimes loves Kansas. The original crystal ball run on him happened because he straight up told a Kentucky reporter that Kansas was his favourite. Now a kid can always make a business decision and go elsewhere, but I do love KU’s chances with Grimes.
-
And if we land Grimes and not Dotson ultimately we are landing the best player. It will still suck that all that time was spent recruiting him and he didn’t want to compete for a starting spot here. We will see, nothing is set in stone, he went to 2 visits and didn’t rush to commit so honestly I can see them going back to the best school recruiting him. Just a weird recruitment from the outside
-
@jayballer54 ESPN is reporting that Andrew Nembhard has verbally committed to Florida. Let the dominoes fall …

Welp , Chris Fisher and Jerry Meyer Just Gave CB predictions for KU for Devon Dotson.- - Jerry Meyer CB is pretty substantial. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Jerry has had predictions for KU, UF and MD for Dotson during this recruitment. Including multiple times for KU. I think this is the third or fourth in fact lol.
-
I feel really good about Grimes and Dotson signing with KU early.
-
@BSharK Ahhh, but this is AFTER his Maryland visit and Florida getting their commit and more then likely another tomorrow - -I’m tellin ya my boy gonna come - -OR as Kurt Angle says - -IT’S TRUE - -IT’S DAMN TRUE LMAO - - -oh ye of little faith lmao - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

hmmmm, some rumor going around I guess that maybe Zion going to announce Friday? - - hmmmmmm. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Highly doubt the Zion one is true.
Dotson before the end of October… Is he going to end his before Grimes visits KU or wait?? Has to be the biggest development we are waiting on at this point.

Love the optimism. That was my feeling in the summer when AAU was going on and that was hotly debated here about which guards we’d land.
Self will get a x-mas card if he comes through here

The rumour, fwiw, is that he verbally committed to KU on the visit and will announce Friday. The guy that posted it has been wrong (and right) before so yeah we will see.
-
@BShark That would make my day!
-
Heck of a rumor. If he ended up announcing friday without visiting Kentucky boy I’m sure the collective internet will open an investigation against us
-
What I think will happen is Zion won’t announce (much to our dismay), he’ll visit more schools including Kentucky for their Big Blue Madness which I’m sure UK will engineer it so Quickley is there as well. He hasn’t taken his officials to either in-state school yet right or Duke? Duke probably is out after they land Barrett. Then Kentucky puts the pressure on Zion and his family…

The internet would implode. Twitter would crash.

Definitely, we did as much as we could on the visit. Late Night had a crazy atmosphere. Lil Yachty is a perfect example of Self understanding what kids like today. We’ll see how it goes!

@BShark Things look good… Idc who commits first, but Dotson or Zion need to do it already so they can convince the other one lol

Would be sick. For anyone that didn’t check comments, Dotson commented on it with 3 eye emojis.

didnt realize that was dotson. makes sense now.

take this for what its worth. IT’S a Maryland Fan slanting his opinion to Maryland, of course but he did deliver by asking for info from his “source”. But apparently he’s got a buddy close with the Dotson circle. How many of THOSE have we heard in the past 2 weeks… I don’t think its any earth shattering information but he definitely tries to alleviate the concerns Maryland had while raising ones for Kansas that weren’t really an issue before. It’s funny how each side is playing the other card in this.
Update:
Just got off the phone with my buddy. As of this morning, a decision has yet to be made. Dotson is looking to commit by the end of the week, however his choice between MD and KU is still day-to-day. KU is NOT a lock, if his family had been sold on KU or Florida, there would have been no MD visit. My buddy also reiterated that Florida was unofficially out, prior to the Nembhard commitment.
In the MD OV this weekend, it seems that the staff was able to fully alleviate the concerns of Dotson playing with Cowan. They see the Melo-Cowan tandem last year as a model for how Dotson and Cowan would play. KU is providing heavy competition however. The only knock on KU is that Dotson doesn’t possess a relationship with anyone on the roster besides Devonte Graham, who will graduate this year. The addition of Wiggins to the MD class is one of the reasons why MD is still in it. A commitment from Ayala would likely knock MD out of Dotson’s recruitment, despite the staff’s efforts to tell the family that they could play together. KU’s staff has placed great emphasis on Dotson and Grimes being able to coexist, however Dotson’s family are not completely sold as of right now. The next few days will be interesting.
My prediction remains with Maryland.

You have to load all the comments. It’s obnoxious and takes repeated scrolling and clicking.
