New 2019 Recruiting
-
@FarmerJayhawk Interesting. Wonder what happened there.
-
He got recruited over before he even stepped foot on campus (Stanley). With Jones, Goldwire, and O’Connell coming back, he would’ve had to fight to be the 3rd or 4th guard when K promised a shot at starting.
-
I bet Memphis makes a strong push for him. I think they were one of his finalist. Penny has a great chance to end with just a monster class to add to Wiseman.

Potential target back on the board. Boogie Ellis decommitted from dook. I bet he goes back west but I expect we’ll at least kick the tires.
DAM - - makes me wonder now - - -with DUKE being RJ’S dream school - -with Ellis de-committing - does RJ put them BACK on the board? - -kind of like the last minute Stanley recruitment? - sure the hell hope not

I doubt it. Dook has long preferred RJ stay in 2020. Pretty sure that ship has sailed. Can’t see him going there with Jones and Stanley on board. Boogie wasn’t going to get any of RJ’s minutes anyway.
-
FWIW sounds like this has been in the works for over a month now. Sounds like Boogie wasn’t happy Duke was getting involved with Stanley and still going hard after RJ.
-
Evan Daniels saying Memphis is the team to beat. Very interesting re: Hampton…
-
I was surprised Boogie didn’t go to Memphis to begin with. Felt like he favored them over Duke and the fit didn’t seem right

If Daniels is saying Memphis is the team to beat for Hampton - - then why are you EXCITED?

Daniels is saying Memphis is the heavy favorite for Boogie Ellis, another PG. So maybe the Memphis staff is thinking they may not land RJ.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think we are getting Tucker or Silvio back for that matter but I would absolutely take that. Probably the dream scenario.
-
@BShark KU puts on the best official visits in the country so I wouldn’t count us out for Tucker.

I wouldn’t be. RJ in effect cut dook when Tre Jones came back.
-
I think it’s good news for Kansas (and Tech). RJ cut Duke when Tre Jones said he was coming back for another season. RJ is a lot better than Ellis and would easily start over him or Stanley if he chose Duke. So I doubt RJ cares at all about Ellis leaving Duke. Memphis going after Ellis could mean that they don’t think they have a good shot of landing RJ anymore, though. Losing RJ to Tech would really suck.

This and adding Stanley I feel. Now if somehow Duke gets added again, then I’d be super worried but I don’t think they are a player in this one currently.
-
I’ve heard RJ announcement won’t happen until late July? That makes me worry a little bit about Duke. A lot can happen in 3 month$…

Exactly. - -with him not announcing until July - gives Rat face all kinds of time to get back into the thick of things. - -The LAST thing I need to hear is that Duke has been added AGAIN to the recruitment of RJ
-
Looks like R.J. will pop in June, in time for some summer workouts at school.
-
Well off the Phog - poster showed off @ John Martin 929 twitter account that like a little over an hour ago. 00 Rod Hampton – RJ’S - dad was suppose to have text this John Martin saying in the txt: RJ & Boogie is a STRONG possibility at Memphis , they can definitely play together. - - who in the hell ever this John Martin is.
They bringing out the point that Rod Hampton went out of his way to send this text to the Martin guy. - -Saying Hampton went out of his way to text Marti - not Martin textin Hampton. - - I swear to GOD if he goes to Memphis - - -I’m done on this recruiting crap – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
KU has reached out to Boogie.

Doesn’t matter but might as well?
-
Well he can shoot better then what we currently have. I’ll take any and all shooters we can get
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d take him but there is no chance. Can’t even see getting a visit.
-
@BShark I don’t see it, but sure doesn’t hurt. Only makes sense if Dotson is gone. My guess is he just waits out the withdrawal deadline at this point. May 29th isn’t that far away.

DOTSON IS NOT GONE
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 I sure hope you are right!
-
Self is certainly recruiting as if there’s a chance Dotson could stay in the draft. He made the Combine. Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, coming back to Kansas is the fall back option here
-
He’s not “back” either.

Wouldn’t that be interesting if we do.
-
Seen a Devon Tweet - -only consisted of 30 seconds - -titles - -at work. - Showed a guy defending him and Devon working on his Jumper. - -showed a guy stationary and Devon kind of using him as a pick against his man - and shooting the J. - - I just don’t know. - -seems like when he wants something - - he gets it - -hard worker - at 1st I said NO WAY - just all depends on how well he shows. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The questions about Devon’s weaknesses or area’s he can improve will not go away. What’s going to matter is how well he performs and how his strengths are viewed to scouts.
I’m honestly hoping he returns but these situations are not cut and dry. He made the right call declaring as it led to a combine invite at a setting that should be somewhat advantageous to him. He’ll have the ball in his hands if he plays in the combine games. Can show off his speed, defense and finishing ability. Players get drafted for less
-
Sure would be nice if KU got a commitment over the weekend to get the ball rolling.
-
@BShark Man, I couldn’t agree more.
-
Agree. I’m just waiting on the whole “in 10 days everything will clear up”
-

Doke and they were probably thinking an answer on Silvio either way.
That said, commitments are coming I’m sure.
-
@BShark Where’d that comment come from?
-
@BShark All good. But worth discussing.

It’s definitely an angle that schools play. It was actually put out there that Notre Dame did it with a kid that was going to go to Maryland. His name is eluding me at the moment.
I think I’ll revisit this if Enaruna picks Creighton.
-
I’m thinking we need to do away with the Weekends during our recruiting. - -When Friday Night Thru Sunday comes around this place is DEAD lmao. - -I need my recruiting fix 24/7 so I come here and less action/people then the shoot ort at the Ok Coral - I start going through withdrawal - -without my fix - -JUMPIN - -GEE- - HOSSIE - -TOADS. - - welp guess I’ve just gotta maintain till Monday – dam lol
-
@jayballer73 - recruits seem to be enjoying the weekend scene at KU. Maybe it’s just us older folks need the fix.

Really frustrating year recruiting wise.- Saw Rayjon had tweeted some more , but getting to thinking – maybe he just loves twitting - -getting the spotlight - -who knows, you really can’t take a lot from it at this point really don’t know at this point.
Looking more and more like quite possibly that RJ does commit to fricken Memphis - - I think it’s still gonna be a hard draw to get Tucker away from Auburn it sounds like - - - Enaruna - not really very sure about that , sounds like he is wanting quality playing time his Fresh year , just not real sure that’s happening here. - - -Holyfield -real good chance he ends up at Illinois with Underwood. - - - After we supposedly had Earl locked what happens? - - goes to another school. - - Then we had Stanley , people thinking we had a legit chance and BAM - - - Duke
More Frustration - -makes it even worse , and actually for the 1st time begins to make me wonder - - do we need a shake up in Coach Self’s staff? - I have said this before – we are just NOT closing the deal on these kids - - someone is NOT finishing the job , looking like once these kids talk very favorable then whoever backs off -slacks like I dunno staying on top of these kids until they have signed that paper. - -we have got to grab these kids by the throat - -stay on them don’t EVER take anything for granted with these kids. - -been mentioned - we maybe need new blood injected in the staff.
The frustration for me is seeing Calipari his success. They just got their commitment from Kahlil Whitney # 8 in the Nation - -their 6th for 2019. - -BUT here is the deal Calipari in his 11 years at Kentucky has got 52 commitments from top – 50 kids - – in those 11 yrs - - - he has gotten 43 commitments from top 25 kids during these 11 yrs - – - -And 23 commitments from - - - top 10 players during that time. - - I can’t stand Calipari - -BUT numbers don’t lie - the Guy can flat out recruit he and his staff obviously - - which only leads to my statement about possibly needed fresh blood injected into our staff. - -yr after yr they continue to whip ass in recruiting. - -what have we gotten during that time frame - Hell we haven’t come that close in Coach Self’s 16 yrs.
The only positive as small as it is in recruiting - I was reading off the UK boards - - they were talking about future recruits and listed who they were and their chances - the focus was about them losing ground with Scottie Barnes ?
Well there was a couple of so called analyst talking about where uncommitted recruits and 2020 recruits were going to land. - -This guy named - - Kendyl Provost Jr of the West Coast that is connected/projecting players follows a lot of players and such - - -He predicting that we STILL will get RJ - -and also predicting that we land Precious - -Sooo whatever that’s worth if anything.
One thing I wonder now - - With Kentucky getting the commit out of Whitney - -how does that effect Johnny J ? - -both play the same position both 6’6 SF - -says He still wants in at Kentucky - - just insane - -think we got ANY shot?
-
Oh man @jayballer73 wooosssaaaa
-
@jayballer73 If it makes you feel any better about all those wonderful recruits Calipari gets. He has the same amount of championships as KU and one more NIT appearance. He’s about as successful at buying a roster as the Yankees of late.
