Josh Green mentioned KU as one of the schools talking to him daily and recruiting him hard. Green is a stud. Big guard much in the mold of Grimes
He is a fair bit better than Harvey at this stage from what I’ve seen. Their ranking is similar though. I wonder if we can take both.
Harvey was at the OU blood bath.
I think Green is better at this point as well and physically he’s really filled out at IMG. I like how Harvey is developing. 2019 class is really strong and KU is in a good spot to clean up

I expect him to take more visits. UNC and some others have put forth the effort. So he should use all his officials and ultimately end up at KU.
Romar is every recruit’s god father it seems.
I expect him to visit others as well. The Zona one is interesting seems how they just offered. JRE should enjoy the process however for KU fans we all wish he would shut it down early…
-
@BeddieKU23 It sure feels like we are in a great spot with a lot of targets. I think it’s already basically down to KU and Minnesota for Hurt. He could pop early.
Then there is still Chandler Lawson. That’s a very close family and Dedric and KJ have been loving it in Lawrence.
That’s…a lot of 4s. Especially considering Mitch and KJ should still be around.
-
Don’t worry too much about JRE. He’s being smart and keeping his options open. I actually think Lawson ends up at Memphis with Penny Hardaway as HC there. Would be a heck of a coup. His HS team in Memphis is stacked. Both Lawsons, DJ Jeffries (their cousin), and #1 in 2019 James Wiseman is on that team. Don’t be shocked if he takes the Memphis job in the offseason.
-
@FarmerJayhawk That would be a smart move for Memphis.

@BeddieKU23 I haven’t heard of anything changing here, but AZ is AZ so obviously the history is there. I’ll keep my ear to the ground on this. I’ve been to a few of his games this year.
Yeah we’ll see how this plays out. JRE is good friends with Jontay Porter who’s godfather is Romar (Zona assistant).
Would MU be involved then?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I don’t think he will end up at a dumpster program like Missouri.

They have offered. Haven’t seen them that involved.
-
@BeddieKU23 They want to be involved. The optics might appear better if they don’t try hard though. I believe he did take an unofficial visit there.
-
Would make sense if Lawson went to Memphis. I think KU is going to get better anyway
-
MU is doing better now (tied for 3rd with 5 other teams but no hope for title) but it will start declining and after year 3 Cuonzo Martin will bolt right on schedule.
-
JRE visits AZ and KU shouldn’t be worried? Ayton says hello!
-
@JayHawkFanToo Yeah I just look at his history and I don’t see him having any long term success. He has been a constant tease.
-
@Gorilla72 well JRE isn’t going. So everyone simmer

YA Ayton say hello - -we now know why Ayton says hello from Arizona don’t we? - -100,000 dollar worth of Arizona/Sean Miller hello. - - do we think JRE will NOW go to Arizona after what we have heard yesterday with of stumpy? - -I think question - -ANSWERED - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 who is JRE?

james Robinson Earl guy. - -Lester Earl’s boy - plays down in hell I’m not sure drawing a blank right now Shawnee Misson? - I can’t remember right now - but pretty much a lock for KU really good 2019 recruit ranked like I think right around # 23 some where right there in the Nation - -now he gonna take a visit to Arizona - don’t think means squat. - Now with this coming out with Stumpy don’t even trip - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ashton Hagans decommitted from UGA. Top 10 player for 2019 back in play.
-
He is the type of PG that Cal loves and I imagine UK will make a hard push. I’m sure we will probe, but I doubt KU is a legit option for him.

KU watched him all summer during Adidas camps seems how Q and Dave were the targets…
I really like his game and was stunned when he committed to Georgia. Backing off the commitment so early is just as puzzling honestly.
And your right this has Calipari slime written all over it
-
@BeddieKU23 I don’t think it’s that surprising. He is better than UGA and maybe just wants to show that. I’d love to see him at KU but with Dotson in year two it’s a tough sell plus I hope Markese ends up here regardless of where his ranking ends up.

You made a good point with Dotson. I think KU was out after Ashton before Devon became theirs to lose. He’s probably going to stay in the south area so I’m not too worried. He’s by the far the best PG in the 19 class in my opinion from what I saw of him as a Jr
-
@BeddieKU23 No doubt. He would help Cal keep up his PG to the NBA pipeline. Cal “develops” top pgs that are surefire NBA starters so well!
Tyrese Maxey is probably the next best PG in the class.
-
@BeddieKU23 Hagans reclassing to 2018. I guess we will find out shortly who was behind this power play.
Spoiler: UK

ridiculous its not like they need another PG. Not understanding if its UK related
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah you are right it would not make a lot of sense. Green should stick around and they have Quickley. Maybe it will be another school after all.

I believe Green has been coming off the bench- still playing starters minutes but Alexander has been the primary PG during the recent stretch. QG is going to be a good 4 year guard for Calipari if he doesn’t become the next Ryan Harrow.
But I have a hard time believing he’s reclassifying to join Quickley and Green. Stranger things have happened of course.
-
@BeddieKU23 Green is getting the axe if Hagans goes to UK. No way he wants to be the third PG on the roster. I’m sure either way we will hear more soon. Hagans doesn’t even technically have a UK offer at this point.

I would take Hagans over Green if I was picking a side. I’m not a big Quade fan, wasn’t in HS and I’m not surprised he’s struggled a bit as a freshman. Syracuse could have really used him this season
-
@BeddieKU23 Cuse could use a lot of help. Green I believe modeled his game after AI, which is a poor choice but he is a Philly kid so that was his hoops role model growing up.
-
I really doubt it’s UK for Hagans. My guess is he stays in state. Either Tech or wait to see who replaces Mark Fox at UGA.

Interesting.
Matt mentioned KU won’t be getting involved.

Not surprised given the studs we got already. I wouldn’t trade Hagans for either of our guards
-
Self visiting Matt Hurt again tonight. He sure seems like our top priority in 2019.

Keeping the pedal to the medal on that one. Despite hurts ranking I think he’s a type that would be in college past a year which is always a good thing.
If we pull a hurt, achiuwa, JRE triple holy cow
-
Hurt would be a fantastic addition. Not sure he does stay beyond one year but that would be awesome. He’d thrive at the 4 spot here.
-
Hurt had a good game tonight in front of Bill self
-

Prettttay good
-
KU I would assume won’t get involved because we are loaded in the post but Nick Mayo is going to be an in demand grad transfer. 6’8’’ 225 lbs forward that is a career 43% three point shooter on 183 attempts.

From VA originally, knows McCormack.

@BShark As big as we are next year, could we use him as a shooting guard next year
?

Matt Scott saying Dante (2020 center from Sunrise) could reclass to 2019. Mercy let’s hope so. He’d vault right to #1 on our board, and would be the best replacement for Udoka

In the words of @jayballer73 “MERCY”
-
Hurt and Dante frontcourt? I’ll take it.
-
@FarmerJayhawk 40-0

Can you imagine? Dotson/Grimes/Achiwua/Hurt/Dante? Good lord

That line-up seems good.

A quick Zach Harvey update.
Hayden has completed the toughest portion of its schedule. Because 4A split into two divisions a few years ago, and Hayden is in the lower division, they are no longer in the same class with Bishop Miege, McPherson and others. Rock Creek, Wichita Collegiate and Wichita Trinity are probably the best teams besides Hayden, and Hayden won’t see them until state.
Hayden likely won’t really be tested this weekend during substate. Harvey was sounding pretty confident about this weekend. His biggest concern is just staying on the floor since so much of what his team does runs through him. I think he’s been biding his time a little bit this season, saving himself for a big three game run next week. Judging from some of what he said, I think he tries to keep his teammates involved this weekend, then takes over if necessary at state next week.
-
Lots of smoke out there that Memphis is going to bite the bullet and buy Tubby out to hire Penny Hardaway as HC. If so, look for his entire squad at Memphis East to follow him. That’s the entire Lawson clan, plus #1 prospect James Wiseman.
