Quentin Grimes Is A Jayhawk (MONSTER CLASS ALERT)



  • BShark said:

    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.

    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.



  • @HighEliteMajor

    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



  • @jayballer54 I think 95% of it is Shaka.



  • From a 247 article

    There’s still no clarity on whether Quentin Grimes, the 6-foot-5-inch combo guard from The Woodlands College Park, will sign during the early period. If he does, Kansas is expected to be the pick, although the Longhorns have made up some ground of late according to our sources.

    While Kansas appears to be out in front, sources on the Texas side of things continue to tell Horns247 that the Longhorns aren’t as far behind in the race for Grimes as some might think. Again, even though the Jayhawks are the favorite, the Longhorns and Jai Lucas have done enough to see it through to the end with Grimes.

    “I think he ends up at Kansas,” an industry source told me. “But if he ends up at Texas I won’t be shocked. I’ll be surprised though.”



  • @BShark That’s what I’m afraid of - - Dam - -I hope not. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer54 lol

    It’s from the Texas site. It’s going to be as Texas slanted as possible and it says they still expect KU to be the choice.



  • Reading between the lines I think it’s pretty clear that the choice will 100% be KU if it happens within the next week as expected.

    Well lets hope he commits during the period for sure - -will feel much better. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Even the Maryland donks switched their CB picks for Keldon Johnson to UK. Looks like they will get Herro and KJ.



  • Keldon to UK as expected.



  • Maryland board is probably top lul right now.



  • BShark said:

    Hahaha



  • @BeddieKU23 Once UK gets Herro too and Grimes commits to KU next week they will spin it that Cal no longer wanted him. Just wait for it…



  • Kansas is losing some ground and Texas has picked up some picks



  • @blackmild33 bad news!



  • Dain Ervin put in a Maryland pick for Devon Dotson before changing it back. He tries to be contrarian to get big points if it works out that way.



  • Dain Ervin picked Arizona for Mitch Lightfoot. Arizona for Josh Jackson. FSU for Doke. ☕



  • Haven’t heard anything but Kansas has this one locked up and Grimes will sign this week.



  • It’s funny that the q commitment was leaked but yet there is still talk like it’s not happening.

    Can’t wait to see him announce for ku this week



  • Well Matt Scott just came out swinging in his own way. Still feel great about this one.



  • Bill self is meeting with grimes tonight



  • Herro announcing Tuesday. Kentucky obviously.



  • BShark said:

    Yep. They’ve moved on. Texas only one who thinks they’re left with KU. lol Shaka.



  • @BShark

    Surprisingly this cycle he’s been tolerable

    He’s been played on a few recruitments but the only thing that really ticked me off was the Trae Young thing…

    Hopefully he never does something like that again.

    I agree that one is tough to get over no matter how much he makes amends for it this season. Hopefully he keeps it up



  • Grimes just tweeted “stay tuned”.



  • He keeps tweeting it and deleting it. Lol.



  • Evan Daniels is saying it’s “up in the air” between Texas and KU. He’s half right. UT finished 2nd.

    I really don’t understand what’s been so hard to understand in this recruitment. Playa is usually pretty good with his game but this one he is way off

    He just doesn’t know yet. Hasn’t put in a CB pick.



  • What’s surprising is that Shaka is in the final 2. That really just blows my mind having paid attention to this recruitment.

    They are already over the scholarship limit to begin with even with Jones & Bamba not returning next season. Someone else is already being pushed out just to make room for Hepa.

    Hopefully he gets it done by Wednesday



  • From Bossi

    Kentucky and Marquette are his other finalists but, most likely Grimes is going to end up picking between the Jayhawks and Longhorns. No actual date to commit has been set, but it would be a surprise if he makes it out of the early signing period and if we had to place a bet on where he ends up, we still believe Kansas is in a good spot.

    Cal was smart enough to move on when he realized where Grimes is headed. Marquette coaches too.

    Like you said Texas is recruiting with house money here. I would assume currently they are forcing out a forward.



  • @BeddieKU23 Apparently Self is chilling in Houston right now.

    Thanks for keeping up on this.



  • @BeddieKU23 No problem. Can’t imagine he’d be down there today, before a huge game tomorrow night, if he doesn’t know Grimes is a Hawk but we will see.



  • 6:30 Wednesday for an announcement.



  • good! time for celebration this week

  • Announces his announcement when Bill Self is down in Houston. Interesting.



  • Coach Self checking in with him today. - - Think says a lot - - Quentin telling Coach - -it’s a done deal.
