I have no idea on Zeke’s recruitment.
I can’t imagine UCLA gets him they have about 6 underclassmen in the frontcourt. With O’Neal redshirting he’s certainly not going anywhere anytime soon.
Baylor is intriguing. They always get quality bigs and know how to use them. He would certainly step into a situation he could start or play major minutes for Drew. The same can be said for Arizona & Purdue that have a need for someone of his talent.
I’m wondering how deep we are in this one. The official visit was sort of last minute news. Never hurts to have someone like him on campus during a big weekend though.

She would be a great get for the women’s team tbh.
Also RE Zeke someone on the phog linked this tweet, from a Minnesota guy: https://twitter.com/RyanJamesMN/status/1046575014319988736
Thinks KU and Arizona are and have been the leaders in this recruitment.

Good find there. I would not be upset at all if he ended up in the class.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yep. For those that don’t know, 247 basically only does that when a kid has committed. Doesn’t even always get out like that beforehand of course.
When KU struck out with Jones and a couple other big guy recruitments I was wondering if KU was in deeper with someone than we thought. I don’t think he is a kid that is all that ready to make huge contributions as a FR but he could be in the rotation and is a guy that could develop very nicely. 6’11’’ with a solid mid-range jump shot and is solid near the basket too. Runs very well for his size.

Shocked that KU and Purdue also offered? She is 6’1" entering her HS freshman year and a top rated prospect for the 2022 class and she already has a number of offers from big programs and will not be in school at the same time as her brother. Much ado about nothing.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Eh, there could be overlap for one year. Zeke is not really a OAD type. It would be absolutely huge for the women’s program if they got her. Hopefully the lady hawks can make the NCAAT this year and get some good momentum going.
-
@BShark Pass. I want that kid that is thrilled to be at KU, not a guy who is just putting in his time.
-
@KUSTEVE what?
-
He might not be a OAD but if he is as good as some think he is, he likely does not stay all 4 years and if he does he is just another role player not really worth all the hype.
-
Was Silvio not worth it if he leaves after this year without ever starting?

So I’m not sure which player you are referring to here. Nnaji?
-
Seen a lot of praise for Nnaji long-term. I agree, in a few years this kid could be a steal for whatever program has him in the fold. At his size and versatility your talking the modern day big-man in the NBA. At KU Self could use him in a variety of ways as I think he’ll be more then capable of playing both forward positions. Ideally, Zeke is the 2nd big KU gets in this class. JRE and Hurt are freshman impact bigs. If KU can go 2-3 out of this trio we’d all be ecstatic.
Remember when Zeke got the KU offer that was big for him. Could have been his dream offer.
-
Wiseman reposting Stanley’s instagram story… Boy what a freaking coup that would be.
Imagine a scenario where we land Hurt, JRE and Wiseman lol. Talk about a jaybate “long stack”
-
@Kcmatt7 This is very good fan fiction. I like it.
-
@BShark I just love the idea of landing Wiseman lol. Not for any other reason than seeing UK fans heads explode. Rupp Rafters would have a meltdown for a full week. A GoFundMe would get started so a private investigator could be hired to look for something shady. People would start the “Faaar Cal!” chant EARLY this season. It would be just one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen lol.

Duke’s board has been in meltdown mode for over a month.
They just had a Top 100 guard on campus for an official visit and didn’t offer him before he left. Fun stuff
-
FYI Arizona’s insider believes it would be " a pretty big surprise" if Zeke Nnaji didn’t end up a Jayhawk. That was his response to a thread about him. Interesting stuff, Jason usually is pretty good with his intel
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d make fun of Duke fans but KU’s 2017 recruiting is still pretty fresh…

Oh yeah I’m not about to gloat or anything but man its insufferable to watch their meltdown. I’ll use that the next time we feel the sky is falling here
-
So does Zeke have any impact on Hurt or JRE? I understand that Hurt and JRE are better players but just curious if it has any real affect…
-
@Woodrow Pretty sure KU would take all three if they could pull it off.
-
@BShark I don’t want him.
-
@BShark Stanley. Son of an agent? Nah.
-
@BShark Well for sure they would. I guess my question is is that really a likely option? Obviously KU isn’t going to take Zeke if they think it is going to hurt them with the big 2. So does KU not feel as good with Hurt and JRE or does Zeke have to wait until those two decide…?
Also JRE should decide early correct?
-
@KUSTEVE Ah okay. Disagree but understand where you are coming from on it.
@Woodrow I think if we see Zeke pop for KU, it’s a fairly clear signal that Silvio is leaving. Jmo.
In terms of KU’s major targets and timelines
McBride - should announce for KU within the week.
JRE - Fall signing.
Nnaji - very likely to announce in the fall, but might not be in time so sign in early November
Stanley - should be a fall decision and signing
Hurt - likely dragging out until spring.

Hell they are having a hard enough time about Zeke lol. - - I read in their board , a lot was talking before how they would love to have him. - NOW they are talking about oh well he wasn’t that good anyways - -OR Cal wasn’t all in on recruiting him - -not 100% into him. – Love it. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Just saw we got another predict for us with Zeke now. - - Would love to have all 3- -don’t think will happen quite possible 2-3 ya - -but all 3? - -I just don’t think so. - -however I hadn’t even though about it till it was mentioned- -If Zeke did come chances are Silvio is gone , quite possible. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It’s Arizona’s insider, Zona made Zeke’s Top 5 so that’s telling at the moment. Flood of Wisconsin also put one in for KU on Sunday. Wisconsin was recruiting him for a while and Flood is usually pretty good. Certainly looks like the word is out KU leads or likely could get him. Positive news
-
@BeddieKU23 Yep. The Wisconsin people were the first to have Agbaji to KU if memory serves. They seem pretty tied in.

Zeke sets up official visits. Coming back this weekend to Lawrence.
Announcing around Nov 24.
-
Yeah Zeke coming back for an official this weekend is big big news. Even Zona’s guy is saying “we’ll see after KU”

As in he feels Zeke could just commit after that visit? UK people are screeching Adidas over this lol.
-
McBride committing today at 5pm. GUESS WHERE.
-
@BShark So, maybe the Kardashians will show up to watch him:
MUSTARD NOT INCLUDED…

He’s certainly under the belief KU leads/will land him. Will not complain if he shuts things down after this weekend

Which is why I think they wanted him over Jacobs. McBride is definitely someone I can see shooting 40% from 3 as an upperclassmen, among other things
-
Self has a bit of thing for tough combo guards that can shoot it.
From what McBride has said recently it sounds like KU was the first school to actually get serious about recruiting him. That kind of thing goes a long way.

It’s ovaaaaaaaa

I think it’s HUGE that Zeke is coming back for an official the weekend AFTER the un-official - -I think it’s funny as hell that Kentucky didn’t make his cut. - -Not saying he will land here - but I just think it is a very positive sign. - -I realize we are the 1st visit but that’s ok.
Could you imagine that IF we did manage to land all three 0f Hurt-- - Zeke AND - - -JRE - mercy. - Coach showed Hurt And JRE that they both could paly and play at the same time on the floor together - that would also go for Zeke - -Coach knows what the hell he is doing for sure - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I don’t think we’ll get all 3 because Silvio should be back. But it sounds like he may pop this weekend so we’ll see! Good problem to have.
