@BShark Braun vs Svi. Does Braun have the potential to be a poor man’s Svi?
Different players. Braun has mid-major PG skills at the wing. He can shoot it but not quite like Svi. He’s a junkyard dog though from what people say. I plan to go to multiple games, so I’ll get back to you on this.

Well I know this isn’t actually recruiting just didn’t know where to put this – Sooo if you want to move it to another basketball thread - -no problems.
Read where from an article that came out at 9:54 off ESPN , that the Big 12 & the Big East had approved a 4 year contract starting in 19-20 - -All 10 teams will play with 5-5 sites from both Campus’s – -Also the Big 12 said the Big 12 /Sec challenge would also continue - - -should prove for some very interesting non con challenges - -personally I love it - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yep. KU will bounce back just fine as well, we will see how long it takes though.

Agree. Didn’t take Miller long at all.

AZ must have outstanding facilities. I’ve been to Tucson many times. Heck, I was just there Saturday.
- middle of nowhere, 2 hours south of PHX by car
- desert landscaping with dust storms and nasty rain storms
- no direct flights
- nice winters, but 115 degrees in the summer (8 months every year)
- Campus is OK but nothing like KU, UK, Duke, North Carolina
What’s the draw???
-
$$$$
️ Only consistently good p5 team west of the Rockies currently.
-
@Gorilla72 You can drive to the Grand Canyon. That makes up for all the rest.
Except you want to make sure your car is in really good condition because of all that desert and heat stuff.
-
@mayjay - oddly enough, ASU is closer to the Grand Canyon. Better bars/night life and MUCH more attractive women. Uh, so a friend tells me.
I’m going to the ASU game, too. And a few beers in Scottsdale!

FYI KU was in Florida to visit JRE at IMG.
-
JRE is officially down to KU & Nova… YIKES
-
Edited original post to include recent developments. Removed Cole Anthony from the list as its very unlikely KU makes his list which he’s said to be cutting and announcing.

Yeah…
Also good call on removing Cole from the list.

Where did you see this at?
Also who and when was KU in to see him?

Norm dropped by Tuesday.

I just saw that. Still haven’t seen anything about hike cutting his schools to KU and Nova.

Trying to find an article on it but people are saying Bossi said he is down to Nova and KU. I can tell you that on JRE’s Rival page his interest for Nova and KU is set to “High” and it’s at “None” for the others.
-
Yeah I haven’t found an article yet, twitter doesn’t have much either but its reported Bossi reported he’s down to the 2. I would imagine something would be released today.

I still think JRE picks KU but Nova has me pretty nervous. Too early to say anything definitive on Hurt, and we’re not really recruiting Chandler that hard.

When you slowplay guys like Chandler and some others, you’d better not miss on your top targets like JRE. JRE is as close to “must get” as you can have for KU imo. I really don’t want to see what the scramble result looks like. Hope you are right.

The backup plan for JRE is Zeke, but the staff views him as a guy than can start in years 2-3, not a guy that’s going to be a KU level starter immediately.

Seems to clash with papa Nnaji thinking his son is OAD. Thanks for sharing though as always.

@FarmerJayhawk I’m thinking more now that we DO still get JRE and Zeke and not Hurt

I would not be disappointed in that result. Multi year players and both could have NBA futures.

I agree my friend. - I would settle for those two for sure. - -Yes I would love to have hurt , but I’m just starting to believe more and more that Hurt with him waiting till spring - I just feel the likelihood of him coming is less and less
-
It not looking to good

JRE is good enough imo to start as a freshman so if we only get 1 of the JRE/Hurt duo I don’t personally feel its a huge loss one way or the other. Hurt does have some versatility and superior shooting ability to JRE but Jeremiah has really surprised me especially in recent video how well he does just about everything and his motor and effort will never be questioned here (if he came). The added bonus for JRE is you probably get 2-3 years of him to develop as opposed to Hurt’s OAD assertions.
I think we (I know I do) get a bit uneasy with recruits such as Hurt that are in no rush. Hurt has the leverage in his recruitment with basically every top program in his ear so it makes perfect sense for him to wait it out. Personally I don’t feel we do that great with these type of recruitment’s but Self does win his share.
-
Someone on the phog posted JRE’s birthday is Nov 3rd. Not saying that could be the date he announces but you do see some every year that do that and with his recruitment at the end stage, just maybe?
-
Does his family still live in KC?
-
Yes, they say his mom moved w/him, for the year.

Wish I had that kind of job flexibility…
-
@BeddieKU23 Ya , to me I’ve been a little surprised that JRE handles the ball decently loves to get out and run looks like he likes to hit the boards so ya would be nice.
Just seems like Hurt will land elsewhere , not that I like that but whatcha going to do? – again with him waitin till late- -he ha said he wants to watch the teams play , gonna visit during the year- - just gives me some upset stomach lol - -yet who knows - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 I saw an article of zags blog about how he had narrowed his choices and about his birthday , His mom said his decision would be coming up soon - -so quite possibly. – People saying that they think he will be the next to announce

@Kcmatt7 I could use you a week if you want to stay w/me.

Well this was predictable- -give you some giggles. - - From the NC fans message boards that’s being said after cut out for JRE:
Would rather see him go to Villanova. - - - – - -So he is down to KU & Villanova? best go to Villanova young man , don’t get that stank all over you - – - WOW – - -If Kansas is in his final two we didn’t lose- - - - When you can’t even beat Kansas & Arizona out who are neck deep in a cheating scandal you have recruiting problems ( LMAO - -this from a school who make up false classes for students - - hmm talking about calling the kettle black ) gave me some laughs anyways – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark nooooo, having knee surgery, next fri, think Matt’s my sons age. You know me better! Just got off work and my 3 yr old Golden is digging for gold in the muddy back year. Help!
-
@Crimsonorblue22
Hope your surgery goes well.

@BShark you volunteering?

Sharing what Nova is saying about JRE… Sounds like one poster has a source at IMG.
When I 1st heard it was only that UNC and NOVA were the favorites and that he would NOT go to Kansas. My source’s son goes to IMG for lacrosse and they are family with as big a name as there is in College hoops history. The person he got the info from would have gotten in directly from the player and mom. They have buildings named after mom’s family at KU but she does NOT want him to go there. I will leave out why.
Another poster
FWIW—I am friendly with a Big UNC booster/former player. About two weeks ago he said UNC not the destination. He thought Nova or Kansas in that order.
Another that the board seems to trust his intel says JRE will go to Nova.
