LOL, - - HEY has Jody been to YOUR HOUSE?
-
-
NO seriously I’m done with the jabs - -you start bringing my wife into this any way shape por form joking or not I’m out stepping. out of line when you start getting personal with wives - -easty to get ugly taken the wrong way - -I’m out
-
@jayballer54 it’s all on me! I was just kidding u about talking forever about him being your boy. Was only trying to be funny, don’t know your wife and it has nothing to do w/her. Just kidding around. Guess I better not tease you anymore. I apologize!
-
Also McCormack signed his NLI in case anyone didn’t see the pic!
-
We all part of the buckets family. Everyone reconcile and continue talking about that ku bball.
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Not where my wife is involved sorry not at all personal things involved there with my wife and things happed in past very touchy gray area
-
@Crimsonorblue22 kidding or not
-
@jayballer54 said I’m sorry! No more from me!
-
One comp I saw for McCormack was “Landen Lucas on steroids”. Meant as a compliment because he is so smart, and has much more athleticism and potential.
-
Devon’s sister/girlfriend is cute! Hope to see Devon on campus as soon as school is out. I love it when the guys show up early and gel with the team over the summer.
-
If I was a top recruit… ok laughter under control… I would not sign with anyone till as late as possible and let the fbi investigation run its course. I MIGHT make a verbal commitment but I would do nothing that could possibly tie me to a coach/school that might be ready to go down in flames.
Call me paranoid but I don’t think that all the chips have fallen as of yet.
-
FWIW, I thought your original response was hilarious and I imagine most of us took it that way and not as an insult.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Completely agree.
-
Congrats to Dave, silvio and Devon for signing. Another stud on the way this week. Self really hit it out the park. Still a chance with Romeo in the spring if the roster shakes out in his favor.

" T MINUS - - 9 HOURS AND 23 MINUTES " - -let s do this - -Rock Chalk Nation - -Bring it home Quentin & welcome. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Welp, Soooooooooo , now what - - -since the early recruiting period is over and we just torched the scene - -what now? - - - Awsome having secured these four in the early period. - Got to tell ya I’m just drained though from a couple I’m exhausted they coming or not, just feel about like I did when I was younger - -ALOT younger after a hot session of some romping hootie-hoot with my ex wife - -wait or was it my OTHER GF lol - anyways I’m drained emotionally.
Now just got to kick back watch our current boys , hope Billy gets his act together and Santa Claus brings us De-Sousa for the 2nd semester.
Going to start my serious Romeo Langford campaign now. - As I feel between the two between Romeo and Zion we have a better chance at Romeo - - just feel now that Zion might quite likely stay in state at Clemson. - -So I got to get busy make sure Romeo comes lol. So I am officially on let’s go Romeo - - Come - -Come young man Jayhawk Nation awaits you campaign.
Actually even if we get neither our recruiting class has been awesome , if neither come hell who knows we might end up getting a little less know 3-4 yr quality type player yet, even then not sure where are biggest need now lays Front line or Back court? - I think it would have to be front line what you think? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer54 I think we can only get Romeo if Vick and Newman are gone. Either way KU is in a great spot next year with a stacked roster.

Well I don’t think there should be to much of a problem then if it comes to that.
I think I read somewhere that’s a pretty well given , that it has been said Newman is gone after this year -whether ready or not. - I think this is gonna be another case where he either tests the waters, BUT I think he has already tested once & I think I heard you can only test NBA waters once without declaring - he wouldn’t be able to return , so he then declares for the NBA and if it’s a no go then he heads over sea’s like so many others and plays a couple of years and then maybe tries NBA again.
As far as Vick - -I think he is gone , I just really don’t have any doubt , If he has any kind of season at all - he is gone. So that shouldn’t really be a problem with Romeo I don’t think - but who knows for sure on these things - once again just my famous gut feeling lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I trust the @jayballer54 gut feeling! You had it pegged with Texas being #2 for Grimes and it was close!
-
Vandy picking up steam with Romeo.
-
You can test the NBA draft waters as many times as you like under the new rules. But I think it’s more likely than not we’re done adding immediate impact guys. I’m actually happy about it, since it means (I’d say more likely than not) Vick and Udoka come back. I’d rather have Vick than anyone left on the recruiting board. And we’ve all seen what a monster Udoka can and will be.
-
So we’ve gotten to the point where I saw a Missouri fan say Kansas has “too much” talent next year and it won’t work because rotations or something. What a time to be alive.

If the starters are
Dotson
Grimes
Vick
Dedric
Doke
and the guys that regularly play off the bench are
Moore
Garrett
KJ
SDS
Just lock up the natty and throw away the key.
-
In that situation McCormack is your emergency big and Cunliffe and Mitch are essentially walk-ons taking a scholarship. That’s incredible if it happens.

First rule about sports is you can never have too much talent.
Also @jayballer54 some weird stuff happening with Michael Porter JR. He went from missing one game just to be safe to not traveling with the team pretty fast.

WOW - -hadn’t heard that about him not traveling with the team - -when did that take place? - what’s going on? - maybe something worse with that hip? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark likely just protecting the goods, play or sit he’s a top 5 pick.
-
Well @jayballer54 , @3genhawk just said it best. Protecting the goods.
-
Only problem with this much talent is someone is not going to be getting in reps! Someone will transfer? I know Lightfoot has said never BUT we have all heard that before.

I think most of us are hoping he takes a red-shirt. He needs it if he’s going to become a regular part of the rotation in the future.
-
How fitting would it be to see him sit the year.

Mentioned this a day or so ago but yeah, we will see what Mitch does when he is actually staring down being the 6th post player.

I don’t think this is super likely but it would be pretty hilarious. Especially given that crap he was spewing about maybe staying a second year.

Answer is a firm no.
Yet the only names being talked about as additional pieces to the class are Zion and Romeo. Doesn’t appear to be a backup plan.
-
@RockkChalkk Sounds like he wants to add a shooter, which makes sense. So if guys leave early and they don’t land Romeo I’m sure they’d look around late. Just too early to know who they’d be going after whether it’s a HS recruit or grad transfer.
-
@BShark I guess what I was implying is that I get the sense that the staff feels confident about Romeo otherwise I’d think there would be some other names out there.
-
I am sure the coaching staff is following players we don’t know and has a Plan B, C, D and E. No sense in tipping your hand and had other schools swoop in.
-
Is the Jacobs brother a shooter?
-
It’s obvious Self is only interested in the big fish left. They will wait and see what happens. If they miss on both for some reason then you go after what becomes available in the spring from coaching changes etc.
-
Also we can’t really offer anyone else right now. If everyone returned that wasn’t graduating next season we’d be 1 over in scholarships. We know that’s not happening which is why Self has 3 transfers and 4 HS players signed. The fallout will determine what we can get
-
Coach Self has said several times KU will not add a players just to use up the scholarship left; it will add one if he can contribute.

De Sousa will be that player. His situation is perfect. He graduates HS in December so he can take the last spot currently open early.
