@BShark This is obviously a rising star playing among average to below average HS talent. But 41 pts is sick. I always temper those numbers a bit as they enter D1 elite play. But Young has proven a young frosh pg can make an immediate impact. The biggest part of Young’s game is his IQ. It actually promotes his other obvious talents.
Grimes has really good vision and PG skills for his size. I think he could be a better version/what we were hoping for Selden. I don’t think he at at the level of Young but he will also have more talent around him.

@hawkmoon2020 Optimus is right. This kid is going to be the cornerstone of the team. We’ve all been so focused on this year’s drama, it’s been hard to peak into next year.
Think about it…Dotson, Grimes, and McCormack? And this is just to name a few…add DeSousa, and the slight chance that Doke stays…YIKES.
I think McCormack won’t really contribute until year 2 and will be a great two way player year 3 and 4.
-
Next year is going to be so exciting. Dotson, Grimes, and McCormack? DeSousa? Sick. We even have an ever so slight chance of Doke for 1 more year? Also, I’m more convinced that we have a really good chance at Romeo. I’m almost convinced that he is in fact waiting on Vick. I really believe that if he was ready to commit to his top choice, he would’ve done it. I think he likes what is shaping in Lawrence next year.
Grimes will be the cornerstone. Dotson will be the leader of the pack. Big Dave and DeSousa will be huge in the lane. If Doke returns for 1 more little year, I think we just might be unstoppable.
Add Garrett’s enormous experience as a soph, and it’s going to be too FUN. I really wish to say more about Billy, but it’s too hard to tell right now.

Add Garrett’s enormous experience as a soph, and it’s going to be too FUN.Don’t sleep on Dedric I think he will be our best player next year. I think Dedric will be offensive option 1A and Grimes 1B. Dotson might be a little wild at first like Frank but I think he will be a hell of a PG by the time it is all said and done. The one thing Dotson really needs to do is work on his jump shot. I think in fact that his jumper is what keeps him in Lawrence for multiple seasons. The good thing there is he will be surrounded by decent shooters (except Garrett) especially if KU gets Romeo who is a walking three point bucket. Drive and dish, drive and dish.
Doke coming back would be incredible.
-
@BShark The one advantage for DeSousa this year is that it will pay huge dividends for next year.
All I know is we deserve a break after this crazy year.

Absolutely. He will be much more ready to go and understand the schemes.
-
@BShark We are we with our schollies? Now we have DeSousa, unless he has a monster second half, which I doubt, he will likely take some paper.
Amen to Dedric. I’m hearing some really solid info. This kid is going to be some what like BMac in terms of sitting out. He’s definitely going to make a big contribution next year. He brings a lot to what will be needed.
If Doke returns, your returners with Marcus and Dedric are going to be interesting pieces for these incoming freshmen. Can you imagine what Doke and Dedric will provide to the bigs? DeSousa is a bonus.
-
I really feel for Billy. But something tells me he will have a good career with or without KU. I know his heart was set on playing for KU. Well, it ain’t over till it’s over. Here’s hoping someone at the ncaa has some heart, if not for KU, at least for a young player that fell victim to the stupid OAD rules.

If Vick leaves, look for KU to add two guards/wings. Adding Romeo is ideal if he leaves. The other addition (or only addition if Vick stays) will be developmental. Keep an eye on this kid: https://247sports.com/player/ochai-agbaji-46042163
Norm saw him play about a week ago and he visited KU on his own dime today for the game. Doesn’t have an offer yet, but he has been crushing the local KS competition and should be the KC metro player of the year. He would be a likely redshirt his first season while he develops.
Dedric has proven it at the D1 level. The American isn’t an amazing league but averaging 20 and 10 is incredible, and he has a year off to work out and get better. Much like Newman’s year at MSST was a cautionary tale for expecting him to be great, Dedric’s play while at Memphis is exciting.

If KU can win the the conference this year, it will be the most satisfying and, with all the talent coming, next year will be considerably easier.
-
Devon had a big game in front of Self and Norm last night. 34/8/5. Sounds like he was being double teamed a lot too.
-
Grimes 28/15/6 last night.
-
Casual 52 pts/8 rb from Grimes tonight.
-
Dotson 40/7/7 tonight.
-
Grimes 22/11/7 tonight.

One of their random players (you think I’d remember their names after the commitment announcement but nah) had 31 pts and took a lot of shots lol.
-
Is there another D1 recruit on Grimes’ team? I know that Langford plays with a guy that has some mid and high major attention (Sean East), but I didn’t realize there was also a guy on Grimes’ team. In watching Grimes highlights, no other player has really stuck out to me.
I know about East because when you watch Langford highlights, you see another guy almost always in the middle of the action, so I looked him up to see if he was a JR or SR. He’s a SR, probably headed for a midlevel D1 school (most likely in the MAC). At the HS level, though, two guys with D1 skills translates into a nasty one-two punch.
I haven’t seen that in Grimes highlights
-
@justanotherfan Nope. The only player on his team that is playing beyond HS ball is going to a KS JUCO.
-
That sounds about right in watching the highlights. Thanks for the info.
-
Markese had 22 pts 11 ast in a pretty big win for Uplift last night.
-
-
Ochai had 27 tonight and hit a game winning free throw.
-
Grimes 31/13/5 last night.
Dotson 32/6/5 last night.

David McCormack is averaging 12.8 pts, 9.2 boards, 1.3 blks, 1.3 steals, 64% FG, 65% FT’s.
He’s #3 or 4th option at Oak Hill with their perimeter shot happy guys (UK & Oregon Commits).
I’d take those numbers at KU in 2-3 years any day!

Thanks for posting. He isn’t on twitter at all so it can be hard to find individual game stats for him. It also doesn’t help that he has a common name. You’d think a school like Oak Hill would just tweet out stats but not really, it’s a lot easier when the player (like Dotson and Grimes) tweet or retweet it.
Definitely good numbers. Being in a situation where there are 3 guards/wings going to high level D1 ball means not many shots.

I used http://www.prepcircuit.com/ to find his stats. Saw in phog post about Sunrise Christian, saw they played Oak Hill and wanted to see how Dave did. Found my way to this useful site.
I agree he’s already in a role where he’s getting rotational usage. I think he’s going to be a very good 4 year player by the end of his career
-
@BeddieKU23 That site is nice! All of Dave’s individual game stats (and most everyone else KU recruits). Very cool. It looks like Big Dave is very consistent in the 10-15 ppg with a couple duds (2,6) and a couple of big games (20,23). Consistency would be nice, it generally means a consistent motor.
-
That’s pretty great. I had been digging around Max Preps but they hide the box scores behind a pay wall and I am absolutely not paying for HS basketball stats. Even funnier knowing that there is a site that puts them out there for free.

Definitely a good site.
Dave has some pretty decent post moves already and he’s a big body so that’s going to help him. Defensively Oak Hill plays a lot of zone so he’s not getting a ton of exposure guarding pick and roll etc. I think his defense will be a struggle the first year. He’s had some matchups against some really good players and struggled. But if you look back to AAU where he also faced top competition and was MVP of his championship team he was a pretty dominate force. That made KU push for him and secure his signing. Definitely helps him that he’s played against some very good teams/players for years
-
Markese 21 points in a tough loss to Simeon. Simeon has multiple D1 level guys including Talen Horton-Tucker who is gonna be a real problem at ISU.
Grimes played a game tonight and his team won their district. When I see stats from that game I will post.
-
Grimes 21 and 11.
-
Ochai went off tonight for 41 points and didn’t play the 4th quarter.
-
He will be in Lawrence on Monday for the Oklahoma game
-
Grimes hand 26 points and 11 rebounds for his game last night
-
Dotson had 26 pts in a come from behind playoff win. They were down 54-45 just a minute into the 4th quarter and won 63-60.
“I just wanted to do it all on the defensive end, lock in on every possession and give it my all, and we came out with a team win.” quote from Dotson
-
That quote right there…Self is gonna like him lol.
-
Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes Grimes
-
Grimes 14/10/10 in a playoff win last night. I tried to get a box score but could not find it. Grimes did hit two free throws at the end to seal the game.
Edit: Found a solid write-up of the game https://www.yourconroenews.com/neighborhood/moco/sports/article/BOYS-HOOPS-College-Park-holds-on-to-beat-North-12628915.php?utm_campaign=twitter-desktop&utm_source=CMS Sharing Button&utm_medium=social
Markese Jacobs for the season averaged 18.4 ppg, 2.6 spg and 3.1 apg.
-
@BShark I just wish we had the opportunity to play overseas again this summer. I’d love to see a little preview of this team.
-
@Kcmatt7 It’s going to be a long offseason.
-
@BShark Not if KU’s playing in April! I’d float for a month before the reality of no basketball sets in.
