Quentin Grimes Is A Jayhawk (MONSTER CLASS ALERT)
-
So about that Dotson/Grimes backcourt! Looking more and more like a reality…
Absolutely giddy thinking about that dynamic next year

I would think hoping something would possibly start to leak out with Quentin - -see some kind of movement or something. - -Of course if there is no movement well then that should bode well for us cause we were way ahead in the CB - -so no movement otherwise would lead you to believe we in good shape. - -Really hoping he commits early early signing less then a wekk away -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This is from a Marquette poster that seemed pretty tied in. In case anyone here missed it.
"Got official word. MU is out of the race. Felt really good after the visit but couldn’t seal the deal. MU has cancelled their in home and is moving on. Heard that UK is officially out too. Makes it a two horse race…with one horse significantly ahead of the other one. The TU visit today might have just been a courtesy to tell Shaka in person. "

See , well if he is really tied in - -that’s good to hear. - -See this is what I’ve been feeling all along too, that NOT Kentucky - -BUT Texas is/was our biggest challenge for Grimes.
Now not saying they would win the battle - -just I felt they were the biggest Challenge - -Not Kentucky - -hope he will commit now in the early period what a class. - -We land Quentin then hell I don’t care even some middle level say some kind of other big - - -Doesn’t have to be Zion -just a solid 3-4 maybe top 100 player from somewhere something like that I’d be good to go - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Was. Definitely was. Past tense is important.
Also @jayballer54 glad to see you are aboard the Grimes and 1-2 rt donks plan. However, there might be some interesting developments with Romeo…

Oh? – really? – what might that be? - -heard something possibly? - -any chance things have turned or at least leveled the board possibly for us. - -Just seemed that Indiana had pretty much taken over for him. - -So maybe a sniff of a chnce yet? - -hope so - -let me know man. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Watch for Garland to commit to Vandy. If he does, that’s good for KU. Langford wants to play with other 5*s. He is also good friends with Grimes.

OK but just because Garland commits to Vandy - -which it looks like he is going to - how does that help us - we weren’t recruiting Garland? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It makes IU much less appealing to Langford…
-
KU never seriously recruited Garland.
-
But if you type Garland Vanderbilt as a search…Wow. People are sick.

Bingo! Howard hit a homer on his visit with Langford earlier.

@dylans Not the same person.

Definitely not! I didn’t know his first name so that’s the search I started with. No Bueno

@jayballer54 Click on the name. Private message (“Start new chat”) should be one of the items in the menu in their profile. Three dots next to picture.

@jayballer54 It is funny how various things like menus or links show up nonobviously on the screen and you might never know they are there until someone points it out.
I hate programs where things are invisible until you happen to have your cursor nearby and then they magically appear. Luckily, this one is not like that.

Go to the person’s profile then you see a blue circle click on that then look down on the second line then you will profile chat message

Last twitter follow: Silvio De Sousa
-
Almost like it will happen soon…
-
Dotson, Grimes, McCormack, De Sousa – one of Self’s best classes, not a presumed OAD to be found. Just need Grimes to join the party.

Grimes and Silvio could be. I do think Silvio is at least a two year guy unless his handler(s) are dead set on it.
Dotson and McCormack should be 3+ year guys. If Dotson absolutely explodes maybe only two years but that season probably ends very well for KU…

…and this does not even include the 3 quality transfers who will also be able to play and were all 4 stars, Dedrick #37, KJ #54 and Moore #55 and who compared to newcomers Dedrick would certainly be a 5 star and the others pretty close to it. Monster class when all incoming players are considered.

I’d a take a RS JR Dedric Lawson over any one post recruit in the 2018 class. Not close. Moore and KJ are solid bench contributors.
-
Dedric would start on almost any team in America right now. Putting up 19/12 is no joke. He’s going to be an absolute monster once Hudy gets done with him. Keep in mind he was putting up those numbers as one of the least athletic guys in the country.

Incredibly skilled player. Preston and Dedric are two of the most skilled post forwards Self has ever had. If Dedric could play this year I’d put KU as the title favourite.

Grimes himself liked that tweet. Seems positive.
-
I asked Matt Scott about Grimes and he replied with a big grinning smiley face. SO I MEAN…
-
Tifwiw but I read on a Marquette forum that Grimes said on his visit there that he is headed to Kansas. The source is a current player on the Marquette team.
This honestly does make sense given how quickly Marquette seemed to move on after the visit and their insiders are saying they are out etc…
-
Garrett, Dotson, Grimes. Self really evaluating and closing like a mad man
-
of course the assistants get a high-five as well. Stellar job they are doing

There is a person in his camp that wants this, but it’s looking like they have been tuned out or that person has just accepted it.
I will be very glad once Grimes has, presumably, signed with KU and this person is no longer a concern.
-
Snacks is definitely proving to be a good recruiter in the last year or so
-
Garrett, Jacobs, McCormack and likely Grimes. For those keeping score at home.
Before that he had only really landed Cliff so it’s good to see him get some kids on board.

So then as we are expect , Quentin commits with us - -then are we done for the year? - -Or do you think we still try to add yet another player? - -If we do what ya think we would be looking at? - -Seems to me with Grimes , Dotson, Moore, Garrett next year backcourt would be pretty much set -I’m just unsure for what position they would look after these. - -Frontline next year we will have De-Sousa - -McCormack both Lawson’s & Lightfoot - -and it not a 100 % given that Doke will be gone - then you have Cunliffe - -either spot front or backcourt - Could play the 2 spot possibly - -or the small forward so which way would they go you think? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Sounds better all the time - -Always have felt pretty confident with him - -but you just never know till he signs that LOI - -good to hear - -hopefully this weekend. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Might be done but I’m sure KU still pursues both Langford and Zion. The team next year (assuming Grimes is locked in) looks great but could really use one of Sr. Vick, Langford, or Zion for that 3 spot. Anything else after that is just gravy.

Much more likely that it is early next week.

Where were you hearing the 10th? Not seen that at all.

Also Newman, if you want to count transfers. Grimes should sign early next week. May just be a logistical thing with ESPN. KU will definitely pursue Langford and Zion until they’re eliminated or the recruits commit somewhere else. We’ve come this far and don’t really have a numbers issue, so might as well shoot for the moon. KU won’t get both though. I actually prefer Langford if Udoka comes back. Just better fit because I think Zion is way more a 4 than 3.
-
KU already has a very good class even if no one else is signed, everyone else at this time is icing on the cake. If Grimes waits it might actually open the door for Langford and/or Williamson.
-
What’s really interesting in this highlight video article you ask?
“Recruiting: Quentin Grimes is expected to choose between Kansas and Texas soon.”

@BShark You ever notice the defense in these clips - or should I say the LACK of defense lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 Lol too true.
But yeah the more I read it sounds like you were right, Texas was the biggest threat.

Until he actually makes it official - doesn’t matter how much I want to believe - -there is still this itsy bitsy feel about them lol
Ya I’ve just been feelin all along they were/are the ones - because of him being from Texas and knowing the squad so well -what he knows Coleman?/right I think and a couple of others - Then you have Shaka - -made a pretty good impression from what I heard - -I’m ready for him to say he is coming here. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
