New 2019 Recruiting
-
@HighEliteMajor I’m 100% in agreement with your position on the OAD’s. You seem like a very bright guy and I’m a regular schmuck, but why is it that people like you and I can see how blatantly obvious it is that the OAD’s are bad for college basketball and the “experts”, the coaches and administrators and the people that do this for a living are blind to it?
It blows my frickin regular schmuck mind.
-
because while you and I are watching the game, we don’t see the $$$$ under the table.
-
@nuleafjhawk I think great players are great for basketball. I think OAD factories are bad for a program. And I think the OAD rule by the NBA needs done away. Kids that show out could still go pro after a year and it would save us from a bunch of Grimes’ that were pre-determined to go even after a lackluster season.
Coaches are always going to go after the top talent. Talented rosters can win games even with coaching mistakes. (i.e.Scott Drew or Cunzo w/ Porter)

Precious looks great at the Hoops Summit. Worked over Hurt a few times. No doubt in my mind he’ll be a better pro

Hurt looks like a multi year guy to me. I don’t see the frame or athleticism yet… but that’s just one mans opinion.

Hurt could use hudy

He’ll be a one and done but I agree he’ll take awhile to find his role. I like the Keith Van Horn comp
-
Man Bill would love coaching Precious.
-
Hurt may get the bolden bench time
-
@Crimsonorblue22 or the ultimate K treatment. Play matador D and chuck 3’s
-
Memphis should kick some butt. Not impressed w/penny, but wiseman

Dude. Sometimes I look at Evan Daniels tweet that KU was a real threat for Wiseman and I think of happier days. I didn’t believe it but it was fun to think about.
-
@HighEliteMajor @nuleafjhawk too bad JoJo wasn’t on a championship team. I have a hard time saying no JoJo, though the odds of a non presumed OAD who doesn’t protect the goods and becomes a OAD and perennial NBA all star seems very very low. Nothing wrong with a non presumed OAD becoming one.
-
I think we have a good shot at Precious, If we can get another guard possibly a grad transfer. I think we will be good to compete for the conference title again. I’m not gonna go after anyone but some of my inside sources are saying addition by subtraction with a couple of the guys that left is the case.
-
poster off the Phog brings up valid point. - -He said that Duke is not gong to get Hurt and Stanley both.
His reasoning , the return of the players that Duke has on Scholarship at perimeter: -Baker - - -Jack White - - Wendall Moore - - Alex O’Connell - -Boogie Ellis - -Goldwire - - Tre Jones
Wendall Moore is a McDonald - player -Then Tre returning - and Boogie Ellis just a few number below Stanley. - They might be able to Sell Hurt on PF - -BUT how you gonna sell Stanley playing time with the players they are returning at his spot
Makes Sense - he can go there and compete for some Minutes - -OR walk into Kansas and pretty much have those minutes at his disposal. I don’t know - -ya I mean Duke is Duke but they got in very late on this while once again Ku been on him for quite some time and a West Coast kid traveling clear across country to play - a lot less of a chance parents get to attend as many games? - I still think we have a legit shot at him. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Stanley knows Hurt is going there so he wouldn’t be visiting if he wasn’t ok with the roster situation. I think Duke will land both.

it’s not Hurt that Stanley has to worry about - -really crowded at Stanley’s position - I don’t think they get both
-
I think they get both…Duke is becoming the OAD factory.
-
Agreed. Duke’s cash machine seems very well oiled. I think they get both.
-
We might also consider that OADs like Duke because, as we’ve seen, ESPN provides over the top coverage of Duke. Also seemed that way with coach Cal and UK.
-
@HighEliteMajor today at UVAs celebration they played this year’s one shining moment video and replaced the seven Zion and Morant clips with highlights from all the UVA players
-
@approxinfinity that’s awesome!
-
Not KU related , but I just saw Buzz Williams picked up FOUR commits yesterday! That’s insane for basketball. I think a couple of them were players he had committed to him at VA Tech, but still very impressive. He’s going to kill it at A&M.
-
Will KU sign another recruit ever again?
-
CASSIUS STANLEY IS DOWN TO 4 SCHOOL DUK OREGON KU UCLA

Nope. KU isn’t playing basketball next season. Year after TBD.
-
@FarmerJayhawk We’re going to concentrate on football.

Exactly. We’re a football school now. We want Bama
-
Hearing that Matthew Hurt cancelled the weekend visits from Kentucky and Kansas. Per Jake Weingarten on Twitter…
-
Yea, the Hurt shipped has sailed. Pretty epic whiff by Self.
-
Or a pretty epic payout by Duke.

Any chance hurt gets the bolden treatment?

@HighEliteMajor I’d just like to add to this. Has anyone listened to Sherron Collin’s interview on the Ain’t No Seats podcast? There’s a part where he talks about what it was like to play with Xavier Henry. Sherron struggled to make it “his” team even though he had clearly earned it: “I didn’t come back to win the Big 12; I came back to win a title. I wanted to be the first player to win 2 in their time at KU.”
Instead, they had to focus on getting Xavier his shots because he had to go the NBA. Because it wasn’t just about Xavier, it was about the direction recruiting was going and Self trying to send a message that, “you can be a OAD and play at Kansas.” There was also Xavier’s dad hanging around the team causing drama. Sherron said once when Xavier had a bad half, his dad chewed his ass in the tunnel. He came into the locker room with tears in his eyes. It all came home to roost against UNI.
That right there? That, my friends, is poison. An absolute cancer. Not saying all OADs bring that sort of drama, but that is the kind of thing you want to avoid altogether.
You think Devonte or Frank Mason’s parents pulled some shit like that? No, they were just happy to be there. THAT is what KU needs to go back to.
-
Didnt even make Hurts final 2
-
Sad.
-
@MoonwalkMafia That’s about as powerful as it gets. And it gives us some indication as to what may have occurred this season with Grimes. I don’t believe I’d heard Collins’ comments on that before, so thanks for posting. It’s right on point.
-
@BeddieKU23 who is his final 2 , Duke and ??
-
@Woodrow 2) wherever Nike
says to go. Adidas isn’t leveling the playing field for us right now.
-
Tristan Enaruna is down to KU, Creighton, and Miami. He will visit all 3 at the end of the month per Evan Daniels.
If we can’t land this kid against those two schools with immediate playing time then WTF.
-
Thanks for all the insights on recruiting guys. Never have I been so interested in our targets.
-
Wonder if Mr. Hurt got a nice consulting gig in Durham?
Anyway, still have a good shot at Holyfield, Enaruna, and Precious for 4’s. Hampton as a 2. I’m also more optimistic than most Doke comes back.

Perhaps the quote of the year …

I’m beginning to wonder about Doke myself. - -Thought at 1st there was NO CHANCE, still feeling pretty low on it but more then yesterday or the day before. -Why is he taking so long to announce? - He is the one I would of thought for sure would of been the 1st or one of the 1st - -seems like he is holding off for some reason. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’m Missing it , have seen it before - is he front line help? - or what ? - -hght ? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 He is 6’7 wing type player. Possibly a stretch 4.
-
@MoonwalkMafia I always “knew” that kind of crap went on but i didn’t KNOW it for sure.
I’m real close to being done with this crap.
Maybe I’ll go back to golf after a 30 year hiatus.
Maybe FootJoy can sponsor me. Maybe I’ll get gold plated clubs, ride in Bentley’s and smoke Cuban cigars, hookers at the 19th hole - AND I won’t have to order off the dollar menu any more. I can order from the big boy’s menu!
-
well good to know we are in Tristan 's Enaruna final 3 : - - we getting the final visit too.- - - - -Miami - -April 24th - - - -Creighton - -April 26th - - & - Ku - - April 28th - -we need something to start going our way
-
Looks like Beverly is committing today and Miami is the choose. Running out of options.

Looks like we aren’t paying, which hurts our chances with ANY recruit.
