RJ Hampton



  • I feel like as long as KU is in the ballpark, RJ will be a Jayhawk.



  • KU or Memphis. Dook and UK are out. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if KU and Memphis split Hampton and Tucker.

    🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼 🙏🏼

    My offseason wishlist is something like…

    RJ Hampton

    small gap

    Kyree Walker

    bigger gap

    Tucker

    TITANIC GULF

    other dudes

    I think we can land Hampton and Walker/Tucker. We’ve played 3 guys before who can be on the ball: Mason, Graham, Selden. Walker kind of gives me a Selden vibe.



  • Other dudes!



  • @BShark It says in the Comments section that Duke doesn’t have any scholarships left to offer. Do you know if that is true?

    Inject these KU quotes into my veins

    Dam Bud. - If that doesn’t do enough to make your body all warm and fuzzy - really don’t want to know what does lol. - -I have to contain my hopes and being pumped BUT when you hear comments like that - -how in the hell do you contain that?

    Things like how Coach Self has been right there from the beginning. - -How his dad could drop RJ off at Ku and have no problems at all with him being there. - -How Coach Howard? - -is like family being able to Callh im anytime day or night - -just like family. - -I just have to contain my hopes. - -I mean it’s like - JUMPIN - - GEE - - HOSSA - -FATS man. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    It’s true but…you always have room for RJ Hampton. They’d mush someone for him, but I don’t think he goes there.

    Duke and UK are out for Hampton in 2019.



  • @BShark We gonna land us some Hampton, Enaruna, Holyfield and Tucker. We are recruiting hard in 2020 too, so we’re going to be just fine. The above four said mentioned recruits coupled with Braun and McBride will give us a top 5 class. How does a starting lineup of Dok, Holyfield, Enaruna, Hampton and Tucker sound? Then for good measure we’ll throw in some Big Dave, Mitch (the NCAA is being totally unjust with the De Sousa handling), Agbaji, McBride and Braun. I smell a run, folks.



  • @BShark Your optimism in recruiting is the yin to your game day yang. 😆



  • If I was a betting man, I’d say our starting lineup next season will be Dotson, Hampton, Ochai, Holyfield, Doke. But we’re still months out so ¯_(ツ)_/¯



  • @FarmerJayhawk I would take that starting lineup, too.

    feel like Snacks is turning a corner … https://247sports.com/Coach/Jerrance-Howard-1451/AllTimeRecruits/

    He’s going to get poached for a Head Coaching job in the next 5 years.



  • I know we love Ochai, but we should say we have two starting spots open and one up for competition with Ochai. Give me 3 of Holyfield, Precious, Tucker, Hampton and Walker.

    It would be poetic to see us end up with a stacked roster after all of this crap we’ve gone through for 2019 recruiting.



  • @Kcmatt7 Silvio not allowed to play, add Enaruna, Holyfield, RJ and Walker would be stellar. Outside of the bad situation for Silvio but I fully expect it.



  • @BShark I honestly keep forgetting about Silvio just because I have no hope…



  • RJ, Dotson, Walker backcourt with Garrett, Ochai, and small flurries of McBride off the bench. Also Braun looking handsome and knocking down 3’s in blowouts. Yes, please.

    If by some miracle Silvio is allowed to play next season not only would that even further enhance our squadron, it would also provide some Doke insurance.



  • An RJ, Dotson, Walker, Silvio and Doke starting lineup may be the worst shooting lineup in the country lol.

    But they’d also be salty af.



  • @Kcmatt7 we would absolutely wreck people and it would be amazing

    A little like last season’s UK team, lots of athleticism and bounce, not much marksmanship.

    Haven’t paid close enough attention to know how serviceable RJ & Walker are from 3.

    RJ projects to be in the mid 30’s from 3, Walker high 30’s - low 40’s. Dude shot like 47% from 3 last year in HS.

    Dam really tough to make call with that 5 - -couldn’t lose with any BUT I think I would have to go with : - - Holyfield - - Tucker - & slight edge of Hampton over Kyree. – just my choice - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • rj has add texas tech



  • It’s funny that Kyree shot so well, yet any film I have found doesn’t show it at all.

    But stats are there to back it up. He’s shot 40% from 3 in his entire HS career on 418 attempts. 47% on 117 attempts this past season. That’s not a fluke.



  • RJ has officially reclassified to 2019. He took Duke off of his list and added Texas Tech.



  • @Woodrow - crud. They have playing time, a good coach and players, upcoming team. I wouldn’t be surprised to see him there. That could be a nightmare for KU… 🤬

    He’s at least a good enough shooter to make guys stay honest. 117 attempts is more than enough to show he can take and make threes. And he’s such a threat off the dribble that his jumper just needs to be adequate, not great.



  • Usually not a good thing when a player adds a team this late in the game. As we found out with Stanley. I also saw where he is planning on visiting the other 3 schools in May, but no mention of visiting KU… ( Unless I missed it)

    KU is going in-home. He’s already visited KU officially and unofficially so visiting again would be kind redundant.

    Correction: he’s saying he’ll take another unofficial over the summer.



  • Good Lord RJ is a brick layer. 27% from 3 lol.

    Sounds like a good ole fashioned bidding war…



  • Shot selection, at least lately. His AAU team is baaaaaad.

    Don’t even care tbh lol





  • Well just finished reading RJ’s blog off USA since he made this decision to re-classify.

    I think we are still in pretty good shape , although still makes me wonder about Tech.

    RJ said Duke wasn’t really showing much contact since Stanley committed and Jones coming back and Ellis committing - - He said he wants to sit down and lock down dates set for visits - -do an official to Kentucky & Texas Tech. - -Said and just get back ON CAMPUS at Memphis - -and KU - - since he had already taken officals to those Schools.

    Talked again about Coach Self and Jerrance was the 1st blue blood to offer and has always been there from the beginning and they keep preaching if I come there I could be their go to guy and could help get them back to the final 4.

    Said he liked how Coach Beard used his guards and give them freedom.

    Said he wants to get to ALL the Schools really soon and talk to the Coaches - -and talk everything out with his family - -and make his decision.

    Sounds to me like he could very easily be pushing up his decision as to where he is going to commit , by wanting to get back to these schools and talk to Coaches and then get with his family. - would not be surprised to see him move that date up. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    In the words of the great philosopher Randy Moss, “Straight cash, homie.”

    Still think he goes to college though. The kids that went to China didn’t have a good time.

    Yeah China seems like a terrible option. Australia seems much better tbh.

    Very odd place to work from what I’ve heard. I’ve never been myself but a former boss was on a trade mission over there and did not have particularly good things to say.



  • Woodrow said:

    No way will that happen. - I pretty dam sure his Daddy would not let that happen. - Way to many really good scenario for him here in the good ol USA



  • Family type atmosphere seems pretty important to them!



  • @jayballer73 He’s going to sign with KU. He and his father have both all but said so. We broke out the Asses From Young Lasses campaign.
