Quentin Grimes Is A Jayhawk (MONSTER CLASS ALERT)



  • I still think we get Grimes, but if we don’t, Langford is still on the board. Though I do think he wants to play with Grimes, so maybe Vandy gets him to go with Garland. But it is interesting that we’re seeing the staff so high on Garrett that they’re penciling him in the lineup next season no matter what. I don’t blame them because Garrett is going to be phenomenal. But missing on Grimes would sting like crazy.



  • Grimes appears to be a better shooter than Garrett but otherwise I would agree.



  • He definitely is. With all that’s around him, Grimes could shoot 42%+ from 3 next season. He’ll get some great looks with Garrett, Dotson, and Vick/Langford slashing.



  • With Grimes rumored to be OAD by some, hard for me to see him backing up Garrett. I guess if Self plays small ball the entire season, that problem is solved.



  • @ajvan I don’t see how we can play small ball with Silvio, the Lawson brothers, and Maccormack. If Grimes doesn’t think he can beat out Garrett, do we really have to have him?



  • I still think so. He’s so talented and Vick may decide to leave. I don’t want to rely on Moore as the starting 2 if Vick leaves and we miss on Grimes.



  • @KUSTEVE I think we will probably see more next year again of the traditional with two big’s again - -Self likes that - -but plays to his roster. - with the big’s you mentioned ya our front court is going to be crazy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • When KJ is at the 4 it will be closer to small ball.



  • Just asked around again on Grimes. Still Kansas.

    Good to hear. Tonto seemed to have some solid insight on the situation, though you probably already read that.

    That’s good news - -just got to get through the next 24 hours - will feel soo much better. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • I did! Sounds like we’re talking to different people. I know he has contacts in the South, so maybe he’s talking to people on UT’s end.



  • I’m starting to feel like a little kid on the night BEFORE Christmas, waiting for Christmas morning.

    Visions of De-Sousa , McCormack , Dotson , & Grimes - then comes the new year and along comes Langford - -don’t wake me up - let it be lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  • @HighEliteMajor

    The conference is 15-3 so far with 2 of the losses by ISU and 1 by WVU. The ACC is 24-9 so technically the Big 12 has a better winning percentage.



  • @JayHawkFanToo Not sure I would shout from the mountaintop about that 15-3 record. Other than us beating UK, there isn’t a single quality win among the bunch - not sure if any will be top RPI 100 wins. Against Power 5 opponents, the conference is 1-2. Other than ISU’s loss to Milwaukee, about the best that can be said is that the conference has avoided any really bad losses so far.

  • KU just got a CB pick for Grimes. Fully expecting a run there as it leaks.



  • @BShark when and where’s the announcement? Please?

    6:30pm. At his school in Texas



  • Should be a Facebook Live stream too.



  • Everybody good now? There was some panic creeping in…



  • I certainly understand why we would get nervous, we’ve certainly been down the rabbit hole a few times with recruits we thought were shoe-ins.

    Surprisingly I have been very confident with Q for a while. The staffs lack of movement on other recruits tells a big picture here. If that ends up being a key indicator with this one its always something to consider in future recruitment’s.



  • Thx Jayhawks!



  • Matt Scott just 100% confirmed it’s KU. Party is on.

  • Oh look, CB point troll Dain Ervin flipped to Kansas. CB back to 100% KU.

    Of note that Shaka/UT has made a big push for Courtney Ramey. They are not confident and never have been.



  • It’s over. What a haul. We’re pretty much done recruiting now for awhile. I think only one realistic target left (Langford). And that’s only if Vick leaves. Givony at ESPN is saying Udoka isn’t really on draft radars yet this season. More likely than not we bring them both back than neither as of today. Have fun America.



  • Vick and Doke back changes next years outlook dramatically with what we have coming in. Without your looking at a complete overhaul. Would be nice to see at least 1/2 return. A 3rd year from Doke would be essentially year 2 for him. Excited at his progression already



  • If Vick and Doke both return just fuhhhhgedddddaaaaboutit.

  • Why do all of you suddenly feel we have Grimes now?



  • @DCHawker

    I am not shouting from the mountain tops, I am simply saying that all power conference teams play easy games to start the season and when they play tougher games they often lose a few, particularly the bottom feeders; the closeness of both games last night proved that all 4 teams are not that different and all legit top 10. At this time we cannot say what conference will be good or bad since we have not seen enough to judge one way or the other. We cannot say the Big 12 will be good yet but cannot say that it will not be either, that’s all.

    Teams, particularly young ones, are still trying to find their identities. There is no question that KU and UK will get much better and teams that look good so far, such as Duke, are one Grayson Allen injury away from being average.
