New 2019 Recruiting



  • Swoooooooosh



  • You’re telling me the NCAA rule changes aren’t preventing Nike from still buying players?

    Color me shocked.

    Arizona with the #1 class, Louisville 3 and USC 4 ironically.

    I don’t know if it was just always going to be a down recruiting year with so much roster uncertainty or if the FBI investigation legitimately scared players away. Or if Adidas is on the DL right now. Or Bill isn’t working with them anymore and being a straight shooter to close out his career here.

    I sure hope not.



  • Well I read where we picked up another CB for Hurt yesterday putting us at 79% - -the rest at 7% - but ever since the Ayton debacle I’m always skeptical - -tell they actually commit.

    If there could be some way we could manage to get Hurt and be able to lure Stanley - -then maybe be able to salvage this recruiting year. - -Just so much up in the air with who might/will return from the current roster.

    Will Doke come back ? - - Grimes come Back ? - – KJ ? - - - Dedric is GONE I just don’t see any way he returns - - lots of unanswered questions at this point = =HUGE weekend = =hope the phog is rockin for Hurt - -hope we play solid in front of Hurt man



  • @jayballer73 If the belief is that neither Doke nor Dedric are coming back…that would seem to work in our favor for getting Hurt…he slides right in there next to Big Dave.

    the thing is now – this ruling on Silvio couldn’t of come at a worse time for us. - -With us not knowing now whether we will be facing more penalties - post ban this next year or what ever might be the straw to push Hurt in another direction - -with us not knowing if we will be put on probation or not - -terrible timing with him coming in this weekend and hearing this news. - -and you can bet these other schools that in the recruiting with him a his finalists - -will be playing this to the hilt against us - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73 You are right…other programs will be playing that up big time. This sucks.



  • I have no idea what the NCAA will do to KU but I wouldn’t b surprised at all if we see a downtick in recruiting which will lead to obviously less success on the floor. Ultimately this bull shi*t might be enough to push Self out the door.

    Not sure why any coach would want to put up,with this non sense when he doesn’t have too. Hell he could retire if he wanted .

    Also , I understand a lot of this was brought on by himself, but still it might be running him ragged and I wouldn’t blame him for leaving it all behind.



  • But then again he’s sticking up for his kids. Hurt is seeing all kinds of things

    There were whisperings about something more sinister in regards to why JRE didn’t pick KU. If anyone would know about something coming, it would be JRE’s mom.

    I hope everything just blows over. I think next year’s team could be really good.

    If KU lands Hurt and/or Precious, that’s a sign Self is sticking around imo.



  • Hurts getting his free visit in. He owes self for all the time he has recruited him. So for that it’s nice to see him following through. I have no doubts this is just a courtesy respect visit. Some may disagree but no elite kid is sniffing us with all this



  • All 3 of the Rivals guys said Kansas leads and predicted they’ll get him.

    I hope it happens and like I said I think it would be a very good sign for the future of the program.



  • @FarmerJayhawk I know that is a good sign…but are those guys usually accurate?

    Bossi and Corey Evans over there are really, really good



  • @FarmerJayhawk Good to hear!



  • New target. HS teammate of Precious. https://247sports.com/Player/Harlond-Beverly-46040841/



  • @FarmerJayhawk

    Been wondering if we would offer, kid has had a big senior yr. Fits what we need



  • Well have been reading from people posting. - Hurt enjoyed his visit , BUT has some concern , about Doke & Lawson possibly returning making a crowded interior -rumors are starting that he is becoming a Duke lean - - Sounds about right for the way things have gone this season -would be about right. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    way he is a duke lean if they get some pick come in

    Stealing recruits from MSU is always a plus.

    Even if Dotson and Grimes stay it would be nice to add another guard.

    Hell I don’t know – they got a lot coming back --if he is worried about being crowded that is not the place to go - -some mentioned like thye have 3 coming back around his position - -makes no sense



  • @BShark

    a positive trade for Chucky. Even my grandma would be an upgrade at this point



  • Looks like Edwards is going to end up at UGA and not Florida St.



  • The next KU basketball class is ridiculous. KU’s only top 100 guy left and Self hasn’t signed one since. Is everyone in the top 100 drinking the Kool-Aid? My take on this is that they are all on the take or someone would have committed already. I get it no one wants to come to KU and get the De Sousa treatment from the NCAA! Adidas, and its affiliates have ruined KU’s next class and possibly our streak of conference titles!



  • Woodrow said:

    Crazy up$set there. I think the biggest two recruits left in this class are Hurt (duh) and Doke. Maybe Grimes, though I haven’t heard much about his intentions.





  • @FarmerJayhawk I am assuming you are talking about IF Miller gets canned?

    Or is he possibly going to open his recruitment back up regardless?



  • WOW at the Edwards news.

    I won’t be shocked if Miller goes down.



  • On Miller, I’ve heard it’s a matter of when. Powers that be in the state are extremely angry that he’s had 3 assistants fired for NCAA rulebreaking and criminal behavior.



  • @FarmerJayhawk It probably doesn’t help Miller that UA is sitting in the 9th spot in the Pac-12 with a 5 - 5 conference record and currently have a 4-game losing streak going.



  • Has Doke played too much for this season to be considered a redshirt?



  • wissox said:

    Nope. He appeared in 9 games out of 31 scheduled which is under the 30% threshold at 29%.

    That said, I don’t think this will happen.



  • wissox said:

    It would be a huge win to get Doke for next year. 20-21 is fantasy. He’ll graduate sometime next year so at that point he’ll be wanting money, not a masters.

    Right. He does have an incredible class coming in, but at some point you can’t outrun the law, whether that be the kangaroo court of the NCAA or the SDNY.



  • Still can’t believe Edwards to Georgia was real. Still can’t believe anyone would want to play for Tom Crean.

  • @Kcmatt7

    Hometown hero gets to put up 20+ shots on a losing team and get to the NBA as quickly as possible



  • Daniels CB’d Cole Anthony to Roy. Dang

    Who else was still in play? Oregon?



  • Can’t blame him with how well Coby White has thrived under Roy this year.

    I honestly had stopped paying attention.

    Change my mind but I think Cameron Thomas, his teammate at Oak Hill is as good or better then Anthony and he’s only a Jr. I’ve always admired Cole’s game but man that Cam kid is something else.

    Have you seen Cam?



  • @Kcmatt7

    If White goes pro seems like Anthony is waiting to take that spot



  • Has ANYBODY heard anything at all on Hurt’s recruiting since his visit to KU? - -I think his OV’S are over right? - -I thought he might of mentioned SOMETHING by now - -but been pretty quiet. -how is people feeling? - -I still think we got a good shot - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73

    He still has one official that he can take. Last I saw Nova, Indiana, Minnesota and Memphis were in the discussion for it but he never did say which one or when they would get it, if he did. I don’t expect an answer with this kid til April… but to answer your question haven’t seen anything



  • Seems to me that Hurt wants to see who stays and leaves before he commits.



  • Hurt is averaging near 37 pts a game, 12 boards, 4 assists, 2 steals and blocks per game. He is 4th all time in Minnesota scoring with over 3000 points. He is only 58 points from 3rd all time. Shooting 65% fg and 45% from 3. He would change a lot about next season’s projections if he comes



  • Hurt is absolutely a game changing recruit. With the right returners he would make KU a top contender.



  • I’m just hoping that Self letting him bomb away from 3 on the U18 team was enough to convince him to come.



  • I wonder if Q and him ever really talked during that.
