Are we done recruiting?

@jayballer54 Look again
Well that was really really really quick. - -I wonder if he is that fast in everything he does? -I mean I know there are certain individuals that call me speedy Gonzalez & Quicks Draw - -but I mean DAMN – not only that but DAMN.
I Posted 38 minutes ago and during the 9 minutes in between my post and your post he changes his mind? - - - WOW - -I bet this guy can really entertain a lot of ummm - - ummm - -well never mind you know where I’m headed so I don’t have to say it. - -Obviously he can get ALOT done in 9 minutes. - -It’s Ok I’m still not trippin on Grimes - -I think he lands here. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well I think we will start to see some kind of movement scuttlebutt on Grimes around the middle of next week. either be CB movement in one way or another - -articles leaking out, as he is saying they want to try for sure and be able to commit in the Early signing which starts on the 8th of November - -so I think something gonna give before to much longer. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It looks like it’s going to be between Kansas and Kentucky by the way it looks on his crystal ball
-
KU until I hear differently. He’ll commit and sign mid-November.

@BeddieKU23 yes

That’d be a good b-day present for moi!
-
Langford will cut his list to 3 soon. We’ll see if KU is on it. Would expect they are.
If he signs early I expect it would be Indiana. If he signs late KU has a great chance to keep in his ear as the season plays out
-
2019 target Joey Baker off the board to Duke. I know we kicked the tires on him. Don’t have to worry now. Could help with the pursuit of Matthew Hurt though
-
Yeah, KU was never really in it. Nor should we have been. Would 100% rather have Chandler/Hurt.
-
Read what I call the typical reaction from a recruit or family after a official visit. - Romeo’s dad said that the visit went " Very Well " - -that they liked the facilities & Campus.
Also said it is looking a little more like he might tend to be leaning to signing in the early period according to Eric Bossi. - -Bossi said a few weeks ago he would of given KU a slight edge for Langford BUT since his visit to Indiana looks like they really helped themselves out a lot. - That the edge might have swung back over to Indiana. - He believes it will still come down to Ku & Indiana
At this point guys for me - - - -Give me Grimes and call it good, I’ll be completely satisified. - - We get him and then maybe some other maybe lesser know lower 3-4 year solid player what would be wrong with that class? - -NOTHING. - -unless on the very unlikely remote chance Zion would commit that would be beyond - but highly doubtful- - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
If Langford signs early it’s absolutely not KU.
-
found this king of interesting. - -While trolling my OTHER favorite board to get info. - -UK board had a thread titled. - -So who is next to commit: - Like 48 responses it said so far.
Had people listing Williamson - - a lot of Johnson - those were the big two - -some said Bol Bol, - - Herro - - - - kind of odd not ONE of them mentioned Grimes - - Not ONE. - - looks like their fans anyways are not very confident he is signing there at all.
Kind of odd seeing as I keep hearing from people oh look out for Kentucky - -umm NO Quentin Grimes will not commit to Kentucky – again Quentin Grimes will not commit to Kentucky , take it to the bank - -lock the doors - -that ship is gone - -not happening. - -Another tale tale sign for me that he is not committing is Cal is going back to visit Herro – -AGAIN, that’s not going to happen if Grimes commits, cause they would be competing for the same spot - -as Quickley will be their main PG - -Grimes would be playing the 2 - -same as Herro.
I still feel really confident Quentin lands here - - I still say IF we have any worries it would be - - -Texas being from Texas - - knowing a lot of players off the squad and being really familer with the staff.
So without Kentucky it’s KU - -Texas - -Marquette. KU BABY - - sayin just like Devon - - -book it - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I see where Kentucky and Clemson are visiting Zion today. - - -KU & Duke visiting Zion tomorrow. - -Does anyone still think we have a chance with him? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No it seems unlikely. He’s a classic Kentucky recruit. Of course I would love to be wrong
-
@jayballer54 Absolutely have a chance depending on if he thinks Doke and/or Billy and/or Vick will come back. Zero if he thinks they all will. Kid wants to play, and wants to star. Is there room at UK? Still a chance for SC to get him. Martin has a fantastic ability to relate to these kids and their parents. Sources here say he is very much a homebody. Clemson closer to home, but nothing else to recommend it unless he is a huge football fan or has buddies going there.
-
KU still has a shot. But they won’t get both he and Langford.

Ya that’s what I’ve been saying also - - I think he has Kentucky written all over him. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@mayjay Well at this point Kentucky has no other big’s - -they think they have lost Bol Bol to Oregon and damn I can’t think of the others but they are really hoping for Zion - -I think with Quickley pushing that’s where he lands.
Did find it interesting that they as their fans was posting wondering why they were just sending Payne to see him today instead of Cal - some think that’s a mistake. - -A lot of them are worried about Duke. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’m beginning to wonder if we get either. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
At this point, I don’t think KU leads for either. But a senior Vick is probably preferable anyway.
-
Give me Quentin Grimes and anything else will just be icing on the cake.

SR Vick would be excellent.

You know guys kind of sad , going around to other sites. - - KU sites , seeing if I can find anything on recruiting talk - -tidbits - -and just sad - - -these guys on some other KU sites , they post thread on recruits name so you pull it up and lo and behold their not talking about the recruit - -All it is - - in one HUGE P - - - - - - contest - -one person ragging on another gets pretty pathetic - -hardly nothing if anything about the player, just people trying to get other people banned off the site. - -Yet you having to pay to get privy information - - I’m not paying squat to join a site and then just hear people bitch and moan and whine about another person - -Glad we have this. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I can’t force myself to look but looks like Moses Brown and Kentucky is becoming a thing. That Maryland board must be SALTY.

They were take it or leave it with Brown tbh.
I’m howling though. UK writers said Cal might not take a big in this class. None were up to his standard.
-
The kid is dying for a true blue blood offer, if UK does offer, they will get him.

Brown is a project but a big kid with some talent to work with. I’d honestly like to see him go anywhere but UK

Looks like UK might have ran out of other options. I don’t think Cal wants to take Brown. He might not offer until Bol makes it official for Oregon. With Barrett looking Duke bound he probably regrets not going after Shittu.

Yeah its looking like UK is trying to get anything they can at this point. Moses has played this recruitment out so who know whether his comments about UK will mean anything. Usually they do but we’ll see,
Shittu, I’m surprised they didn’t press further with him but I think this actually might have been a case of the player not seeing playing time available. UK has a bunch of bigs but the NBA isn’t drooling about them so some kids are not seeing the guarantee’s of them being gone after this year. I haven’t heard much on his recruitment lately but doesn’t it seem like Vandy was in the drivers seat for him?
Bol didn’t announce of Oregon yet? Stopped paying attention to that one.
Barrett, ugh such a talent going to Duke. Reddish & Barrett jeesh. Only team on trail that’s beaten KU in this cycle. Really impressed to say that Self has been money
-
@BeddieKU23 He hasn’t even set an announcement date, but it’s Oregon, obviously. With the way news leaked I would assume he is a silent commit already.
Vandy or UNC for Shittu.
Nike wasn’t going to let Barrett get away. Duke’s class is going to be completely absurd.
-
Calipari was holding out for Barrett. There’s some bad blood between RJ and Shittu for some reason.

Not that impressed with him - -ya he is 7ft 2 but project - Everyone thinking since they lost out on Bol Bol - -even though not confirmed yet- but seems he is going to Oregon. - -Ya He wanted a UK offer hasn’t been made yet but it’s coming. - -Not knocking the kid but still gonna take time for him. - - On another note. - - Is it just me or what? - -Probably is but am I overlooking things with Bol Bol? - -I mean even when he was still here in Kansas seeing his highlite - seemed kind of soft. - -just seemed he wanted to play outside more then in. - -Not sure if he can really bang with the Big Solid bodies inside - -he seems to kind of for a lack of better words loaf/slack - - uninspired sometimes maybe just me.
I know ya he looks good against High School kids because he gets away with a lot because of his height - -not really sure about his explosion - -sorry I am just not seeing a # 3 - -# 4 ranked player in the clas. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Stems from AAU and Canadian play that Andrew Slater elaborated on over the summer. Apparently it’s not just that RJ and Shittu don’t get along but its the father’s as well. Funny when the parents have beef with each other
-
@BeddieKU23 It would just break my heart, and funny as all get out if UK ended up offering Moses & then even though he said he wanted UK offer - -if they offered and then Moses ended up going to Maryland or UCLA after all and Kentucky lose out on him also - -Lose Bol Bol - -Brown & Shittu - - -THAT would truly be a Kodak moment for me - - -Priceless - - I could hear the UK fans now. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Careful, we don’t need that kind of karma coming back on us. It would be funny but we know how recruiting goes.

Agree. It works in cycles. UK also had a “down class” in terms of missing out on top targets in 2015. On paper the class still looked fine, they just had a lot of misses. At the end of the day Cal is going to fill the roster and of course then Cal fell ass backwards into Jamal Murray in that class.
UK fans didn’t want to believe Slater when he said UK wasn’t well positioned in this class. Of course Slater also said he fully expect UK to kill it in 2019.

Sounds like Josh Green is a high priority in 19.

He’s a teammate of Silvio’s at IMG. Can’t hurt.

Plus IMG seems to be KU friendly. Definitely a positive.

He’s really really good. Will KU have room for him and Harvey though?
-
I’d take Green over Harvey. You always want to lock up local talent that loves your program so I do hope Harvey is a hawk no matter what happens.
From what I’ve seen of Harvey he’s not as important as Robinson-Earl is in 19. Especially at the position Harvey plays we often land or get the running for the elite wings out there. Is Harvey even a priority?
-
@BeddieKU23 I think there is a chance he could end up at Creighton with Ballock. With the way recruiting is trending we will find out a lot more about who KU is going after in 2019 soon. We certainly appear to be in deeper with Matt Hurt than many were thinking.
-
Man this Quentin Grimes recruitment been crazy , I mean ya sure, there has been SOME talk the Grimes has already quietly committed , some people saying he committed on his visit - -some saying he committed of Coach’s last in home visit -all kinds of this and that going around ya know?
But from my take this has been one a the very few where the inner circle has been kept tight as a drum - - -NOTHING that I can see or have been able to read about. I mean usually after all the in-home visits - - all the official visits after like 3-4 days a person might see/hear SOMETHING - -some kind of leak no matter how tiny but with this - - nothing.
I’ve seen some things people saying they are hearing something going down around the 13th possibly - -but just nothing solid. - -I still think when it’s all said and done he is here, but again most the time you’ll start to see SOME kind of CB movement - -some analyst making a prediction - -but there has been none. So in a way I guess - -that’s good - -real good - cause the current CB still has us by a huge margin nothing has changed there. - -
Just usually there is some activity - -like ya know even the recruit making an announcement about when he is going to announce lmao. - -I’ll just feel a lot better when he has actually committed publicly to KU - -preferably in the fall signing period - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Don’t sweat it, Grimes is a Jayhawk.
-
Cool the jets he’s a hawk. He might do the ESPN thing, we’ll see.
I’m sure its all in the works behind the scenes. Sit back have a coolada and we’ll wake you up when he announces it official my fellow friend
-
Looks like - - Iowa State high light the Big 12 opening regular season game opponents Friday.
Iowa State plays Missouri - -& West Virginia plays Texas A&M in the Armed Forces Classic. - -Nothing huge but considering the other opponents for the rest of the Big 12 schools these are the two best probably.
Also FWIW - nothing huge but the score was a little more then what at least I thought it might be - - Texas Tech beat New Mexico State by 30. - -84- True New Mexico is by far no power - -but still that’s quite a beating no mater - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
