2019 Recruiting



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    Honestly was hoping we could snake him as a walk on haha

    Too many P5 offers for that, assuming they are real offers.



  • Is Mizzou really P5 tho



  • Lol. Strong agree!

    But like, OU, TTU, KSU, Minnesota, Wake Forest, Creighton etc…



  • Ha! Yeah couldn’t resist the Mizzou dig. Let’s hope we don’t need to take him come April. Seems like a prime year to add mid year transfer. We have the open scholarship and guys are leaving more often mid year.



  • Sorry , I’m thinking umm maybe not on this kid lol. - -Sorry no knock on the guy maybe a little lesser P-5 MAYBE but unless these old eye’s are worse then I thought - -I’m not seeing any WOW or close to WOW. Not quite sure why we really offered I know , I know sounds bad and not trying to be BUTA I’m just not seeing a KU uniform on the guy – I guess that is why Coach and the staff are at where they are at and I’m at where I’m at, maybe they see something I don’t. I hope he does well wherever - -maybe a walk on at KU but to use a scholi ummm please help me someone what am I missing?

    Are we offering just to offer? this would be like a plan Q . - you’ve heard of having plan B’s - -well this is a plan Q. - -looks to me like his shot from distance is more of a spot up stand still flat footed shot - -how many of those will he get in College?- ok , ok , sounding kind of hard on the young man - -I’m sure he is a quality player just kind of threw me for a loop for a minute - -maybe he can grow on me - -maybe prove me wrong -I mean hell if K-State offered then SURELY the kid must have ton’s of Savvy right? - Here at KU ? - - saw this early this morning hope my Friday get’s better ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73 I wouldn’t worry about it.



  • I like him. He would be a reserve, but he’d be entertaining at the end of games his first two years, and probably get some minutes his junior and senior year. Not as a starter, but you bring him in to shoot the 3. It’s too bad we couldn’t talk him into coming in as a walk on.The smart player will help the athletic player get better.



  • @Texas-Hawk-10 Keith Lee was really good from W. Memphis also.



  • R.j. Hampton is staying in the class of 2020



  • Yikes. Well can’t get them all right I guess. Also really bad news for KU. Duke all the way here.



  • @FarmerJayhawk RJ Hampton will be at this yr’s late night was announced off another site like 10 minutes ago. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • yeah RJ staying in 20 all but points he’s a dukie



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    Duke all the way here.

    Yep. I think Memphis was pushing for a reclass.



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    yeah RJ staying in 20 all but points he’s a dukie

    Definitely time to move on. A real nut punch considering he grew up a KU fan.

    If it isn’t Duke, he is going straight league.



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Na - - more likey then not - -straight to the NBA if this new thing with thing takes effect that would be almost a given

    I’m fine with it, he’s been a tease for a while.

    If Dotson is here for year 2 I think its important we find someone that isn’t comparably the same as him.

    There are no Grimes in the 19 class to get so I’m holding out that we get a shooter with some size.

    Cole would be the “dream” duo but I think he’ll go straight to the draft.

    Things will change as they always do.



  • Tell Derryck Thornton about the Duke brotherhood. Or Wendell Carter. 🤔

    What did you have?



  • @BeddieKU23 Williamson, Hurt, JRE, Chandler, McBride.

    Not exactly going out on a limb here. I do wonder if Braun will be a factor at all now. I didn’t expect him to get a KU offer.

    Not exactly going out on a limb here. I do wonder if Braun will be a factor at all now. I didn’t expect him to get a KU offer.

    Has anyone seen Braun play? The highlights I’ve seen show he can shoot which in today’s game is critical. I didn’t see what else he could do at a KU level and athletically he looks well below someone Self would offer so what’s the deal here?

    4 of 5 I’m on board with. I think Chandler goes somewhere else, I just can’t see us taking the name, he’s not even close to his brothers skill level



  • @BShark So, what 's the deal with Braun? How good is he? Not being local (anymore) I know nothing about the kid.



  • Have to laugh myself. - -Kentucky think it’s a wrap now that they have an in home with Hurt Since they have Cal as their Coach as they say whoever Cal want’s they get. - -I can be totally by myself on this I could give a rat’s ass - -I’m NOT tripping about Hurt going to Kentucky - -not even breaking a sweat. - again I might be the only one - -that’s good enough for me - -I think Hurt is OUR’S - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @BeddieKU23 @Hawk8086 I’m going to have to catch some of his games this year if he commits or it appears KU is really going after him. I have some buddies in the KC metro who are very surprised by this offer. One is a grape (despite what I said about not hanging out with riff raff lol) and he joked that Self might be going senile.

    As for Chandler I could see him ending up at Memphis but apparently Memphis isn’t really pushing for him. I don’t think he is so bad that he isn’t a 4 year KU guy. KU has trotted worse out there during Self’s tenure. In the starting line-up even. I like him long term especially defensively.



  • I think Chandler is perfect program guy. We can strengthen him up enough to hold his own at the 4. At which point, he is really the perfect stretch 4 for modern day basketball.



  • Wow just read and kind of caught me totally off guard. - -Bryan Antoine committed to Villanova. - - The reason seemed to be a general consenus that he was Duke bound/lock - -bet this threw ol rat face for a loop - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73 Duke is crashing and burning in this class so far which excites me…



  • a lot of the recent rumblings pointed to this. shocked it actually happened tho

    I thought we’d see more people trying to spin this but I don’t see it. The Capel loss certainly hit them here + Nova having a shiny trophy to sell. Nova is recruiting stupid right now and isn’t done from everything I see

    Yeah there is really no way to spin it.

    For those that don’t follow recruiting as closely and might just be thinking only of this miss well it’s not just this. They also appear to be fading with Cole Anthony.

    They will get Josiah James no doubt, but outside of that I don’t know.

    Wendell Moore? He seemed the other lock.

    Stewart certainly seems to be open who is their big priority.

    We don’t want Duke circling the wagon to give the Hurt’s some nike money… They have to right the ship

    ya me too BUT you know ol ratty he will find ways to get the elite there - -every time he misses is a sweet taste though. - - -



  • @BeddieKU23 Yeah we definitely want them landing forwards that aren’t Hurt.



  • Another little interesting tidbit with old Rat face and crew. - - A duke poster asked Andrew Slater who was most likely to be a Duke Blue Devil out of Cole Anthony - - - RJ Barrett - - & Josiah James? Slater responded back and said - - -Josiah James - - - hmmmm. I know a lot of talk now about Anthony and Oregon but had heard he was an almost lock for Duke -then Barrett? - - - kind of funny. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    Barrett is at Duke right now, as in on their team and will play this year. I think you got something confused here.

    Spoke too soon, some are now saying a borderline Top 10 player is overrated. Gotta love it!



  • Anyone hear how Williamson’s visit went this weekend??

  • That was certainly unexpected. And positive. Methinks KU is now in a better spot for Anthony.

  • @BeddieKU23 I assume this is just Self playing the game. He knows he won’t get Wiseman, but he has to play along.

    Yupp, he’s well versed in the game. Crazier things have happened but its unlikely



  • I understand that Wiseman is likely headed to Memphis or UK, but if he wants to come and visit and have a in-home with Self it can’t hurt. Don’t see any downside to it at all. You just never know in recruiting!
