@BeddieKU23 thanks
-
Saw him in person last month. Posted about him the other day. Watch the video!

New video?

Did I do the math right… we need a PG for 2 years before Markese takes over?
So Trae Young for 2 years, then Markese?

Nice.

Stud Sophomore Christian Brown who has a KU offer had this to say in a recent interview.
Who are some guys on the NBA level or college level that you always looked up to?
Josh Jackson. The people at Kansas told me I play just like him. I look up to him.
KU is recruiting him, all the heavy hitters will be on him especially being from South Carolina. The 19 class really has some serious talent. And that’s forgetting RJ Barrett the best player in the class who idolizes Andrew Wiggins…
-
Oh man, if there is a wing I would want more than Leech this is it. Can’t go wrong with either though and I’d take Leech the moment he wanted to commit.
-
Seems like a lot of perimeter talent we are after right now.
I would still take Barrett over any of these wings. RJ is an elite talent.
Leech is really good but will have to step up his level of competition this summer. I can’t imagine we would let him elsewhere if he wanted in.
Brown seems like the type that will end up in the top 20 and have his choice of any program. He has ties to South Carolina and being from a small town and 2o minutes to campus Frank Martin will do his best to keep him home. I like his ability and he might still get bigger which could make him a perfect stretch 4 type.
-
Barrett would be quite the get, don’t see it though.
-
You don’t believe that him being a Hawk fan will pull him here?
And we know Self isn’t going to concede for an elite wing. We’ll see lots of time

I think his brother just backed out of his commit to Southern Illinois. The day I saw them play, the brother was the better player. Both have transferred to a different HS as well, from one charter to another.

Yeah I mentioned in another thread recently his brother didn’t have the shooting ability wanted for a HM. I would imagine he took the prep year to hopefully show improved shooting and get better offers. He already has had a few roll in that are better than SIU. I would imagine it’s quite possible that he would show out better, especially since he is 2 years older and a hard worker. A lot of it with rankings is trying to project how they translate to college and Markese is lightning quick which can’t be taught. I think it would be awesome if Demarius improved enough to get a KU offer.

how I missed this thread is beyond me. Great stuff. That kid is going to be dynamite.
-
@KUSTEVE I really like how much he likes being a Jayhawk.

Kid is ridiculous. Little pick me up clip after that tough football loss for y’all. @Crimsonorblue22 @jayballer54 @kjayhawks

@BShark can’t wait!

The kid is a hoot on twitter. Loves KU.

Watched Markese tonight in person. 12 points, good D, on hapless opponent immortalized in a poster. Markese’ team won by 30 so he was not needed to be spectacular, which he is.
-
Ok, I admit I’m guilty. Guilty - - - Guilty as Guilty can be, I had never really checked out our future boy at all. Knew he had committed really early which is good, but man gotta say lil guy looks pretty decent, Ya I know it’s a mix tape - - high lights but still, like it says they say he is combo of our boy Frank and Sherron that has to be a good thing right?
Looks like he is a little sparkplug for sure , So I guess my question is guys, how do we see him fitting in the rotation? - -Chances are Devon will still be here so as an under study to Devon play time increases as the years go by? - -Be a solid backup or what guys - -fill me in , let me know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It’s going to be a solid backcourt for a few years! Dotson, Moore, and Jacobs would be very quick. I assume Bill will add some length to that mix too, in a premier wing player. I’ve got to assume given the time in the system that Charlie will be starting alongside Devon (and a future stud wing could be Cunliffe if he develops nicely) with Markese coming off the bench his freshman year.
-
Between Moore, Dotson and Jacobs, we do have a very nice group.
We do need some size to go with them though, because that group goes as follows:
Moore - 5-11, 170
Dotson - 6-2, 175
Jacobs - 5-11, 170
Lots of speed and ballhandling, but not much size. They need at least one more 6-4 or 6-5 guy to go along with Cunliffe just to prevent teams from throwing too much length at them. Still, I always default to talent over anything else, and those three guys have that in spades.
-
Grimes and Garrett are both 6’5’’.
KU is definitely targeting a lot of wings in 2019 as well.
-
Forgot about Garrett. I doubt Grimes is around for 2019, so KU definitely needs to sign some long wings/guards.
