2019 Recruiting
-
@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.

@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.
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.

Call me crazy, but I would wait until JRE and Hurt decide before I take a commitment from someone that might push them away. Those two have been the centerpieces of this 2019 class for sometime now. Not sure why Self and Co would stray away from that.
-
I’d take Zeke in a second if he wants to commit, sort out the rest later. Very good shooter for a center.

Probably because Hurt is still kind of a wildcard at this stage. I think KU leads but that’s also not worth much given how little effort Matt has put into the process so far. If he’s scared off by a multi year kind of guy, doesn’t say a lot about him as a player.
But 2/3 of the big targets looks pretty likely at this point. Then we can sort it all out come spring. If Silvio is back I’d start him at the 5 anyway.

@FarmerJayhawk Silvio, JRE, McCormack, Nnaji, Lightfoot is a SALTY group.

ya possibly, but yet like someone said - with the sudden interest they think quite possibly with the sudden interest from Zeke - - just makes it appear more that Silvio will be gone after this year. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

you and me both buddy - -In a heart beat. - -Like someone was saying Zeke is your modern day NBA big man - a guy that can take it out on the floor away from the basket - -got a sweet stroke In a heart beat buddy without any hesitation. - -he wants to come? – come on Big Boy - -Welcome to Crimson and Blue . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

McBride to KU is now official.
-
51/45/80 shooting splits. Ridiculous.
-
KSU added a couple unranked commits.
Damerius Wash a SG going to Sunrise in Wichita and Antonio Gordon a post player out of Oklahoma.
-
Interesting from Papa Lawson on Chandler…
“I know he likes Kansas, Ole Miss, South Carolina, Georgia Tech and Oregon. We’re going to take visits and from there make a decision,” Keelon said of Chandler Lawson, who is ranked No. 87 in the recruiting Class of 2019 by Rivals.com after playing for state title teams the past three seasons at Memphis East.
-
@BShark South Carolina and KU in the same sentence? I will guess here that papa likes Frank Martin!
-
Lecque to NC State as expected.
-
Well how about some good ol he said / she said- -got this off the Phog So anyways read where a poster said and this is the he said/she said, that supposedly there was a guy that had talked to the Bishop Miege Coach and that he had said JRE was going to UNC and if he didn’t end up ther he was going to Norte Dame .
Well another poster brought up some pretty solid points about that they were. - – -He said if this WAS the case found it interesting that if JRE Miege HS Coach was as important influence - -JRE would not of left him to go to Florida to develop - - - - - -Then he said That this was all said right after the UNC Visit and BEFORE the KU Visit --so that is something that wouldn’t be surprising for JRE to say- - - - - - - Then he went on to say that with Coach being a Catholic School Coach bringing up Norte Dame also not surprising. - just thought the guy brought up some pretty solid points about the old he said/she said - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

5* guard Scottie Lewis just committed to Florida. Mark white is doing some work there. Second 5* recruit in this class.

Plus their 4* post commit Omar Payne is a BEAST.
-
I’ll take it. One fewer dude Kentucky throws at us next year at Allen.
-
Josh Green is announcing tomorrow. KU was on his final list but he never visited. Looks to be UNC or Arizona.
-
Yeah, KU fell off there for w/e reason.
-
It’s been done to UNC for awhile. He just loves Carolina.

You sure about that??

@Woodrow not anymore lol. It was like 10 days ago. Things change!
-
Sean Miller’s ability to recruit continues to blow my mind. I thought he’d come back down to Earth when he couldn’t pay guys. Nope. I’m just so confused.
-
VIP article on 247 about Stanley’s visit. Sounds like KU did everything they could to position themselves well in this.
Scott gave out this quote for free so I feel okay copy pasting it
“It was an extremely warm, supportive family environment. They take very good care of the student-athletes there. They are very supportive and that’s why they thrive. The whole University community seems to embrace their basketball team. It’s just a great place for anybody who is a high-level basketball player and wants to go to a major college program. I can’t think of a better place than Kansas from what I’ve seen.”
Edit: There are more reaaaally good quotes so if you have 247 premium I recommend reading the article.
