New 2019 Recruiting
-
From their Memphis writer. Interesting.
I’ll add I’m still skeptical of any Precious to Kansas talk as long as Silvio is still in limbo. I think they’re still recruiting him, but can’t see them doing what it takes to land him unless Silvio is gone.
-
Well Slater just put in his CB - saying that Boogie going to Memphis - -that has to help us I would think with RJ - -usually Slater picks are pretty solid. - -Slater - - Danlel’s - - Meyer - and to a lesser degree - -Evans. – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
You just have to think that a lot better days are in our future in this recruiting. - - Cory Evans off Rivals sure seems to think so. - Matt Tait followed up on it a bit more or less repeating what Cory had to say.
Cory said: - -that KU could win and would win the Spring Signing if things work out. - - He said that it seems safe between the two that Either TJ Holyfield or Rayjon Tucker would land in Lawrence. - -He also said that even Memphis remains the Team to beat for Precious , don’t be surprised if he ends up playing for Coach Self. - something here to think about - -Cory changed his CB for Memphis to KU - but even better then that Evan Daniels Changed his CB pick from Memphis to - - -Undecided - - then some others also picking KU now for Precious
Then Cory said the X factor remains RJ Hampton - - - -saying that he feels that RJ will land in Lawrence – saying IF that happens - -KU WILL win the Spring recruiting season. - -we shall see if these come about. -I think just soon things gonna start poppin - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

One can only hope…
-
Memphis lands 4* SG Lester Quinones.
-
Well just me , but with Memphis getting the commit from Quinones as a 2 guard - - a shooting Guard and looking like Boogie gonna land there - think that reduces their chances for RJ - -I think quite possibly they realized they losing ground with RJ and shifted directions taking these guys - -hope that’s the case – sounds like that’s the case. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well – what does anyone make out of this if anything? - -Tweet 4 hours ago from Rayjon Tucker. - - tweeted More blessings and opportunity - -then it has a picture of a Boston Celtics basketball court and the Celtics Mascot - I hope it’s not what I think - he might be deciding
-
@jayballer73 nah, just opportunities to show himself w/each invite
-
Juzang to Kentucky as expected.

I’d be stunned if he stayed in the draft. He’s like a fringy top 100 guy right now because he’s a borderline SF in the NBA. More of a 4.

Maybe it’s about Paul Pierce. Who knows it could be a hint. It could also mean I’m completely over thinking it also
-
Precious will not wait on Silvio. This one seems over. My 2 cents minus a cent.

It has been over
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 he’s coming here?
-
Memphis
-
I would have a hard time with a dude on our roster named Precious. If any kid needed a nickname, or a new name, he’s the one. Quite clear that a man didn’t participate in the naming decision.
-
That’s his parents thing. It’s common to have unusual names (for us) in Nigeria. His brother’s name is God’s Gift.
-
Just like the guy named Goodnews that left kstate.
-
And there was a guy named Goodluck fairly recently. I don’t remember where he played.
-
I expect KU to lean a bit on Kyree Walker now.
-
@FarmerJayhawk He’s still 2020, right?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich as of now, yes.
-
Is he likely to reclassify?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich i think so. He’s plenty old enough.
-
I see. Thanks.
-
I don’t see how they fill the 13 allotted scholarships now after missing on both Tucker and Holyfield. Might have a hard time getting to even 12.
-
Agreed. Dotson is probably back, which gives us 9. Yeah I think 11 at most.

Well, KU didn’t really go after Holyfield much. Tucker on the other hand is a clear miss.
@FarmerJayhawk I like Kyree Walker a lot. That would save the class to be sure.

Man I hope so – Dam I hope so - - now Farmer - don’t go and get my heart racing lol. - -1st we got to get him to re-classify , he still pondering on it - we have been pretty good with him - - BUT these are kids again we are talking about you know? - - this is the kid that they say is a positionless player - -love him cause he has edge to him - -a little cockiness to him - -I like that- - if you can ball to back it up - -then get some bad boy - -you get yours - -Serious hops - - plazy some pt - - got the J - seen my 1ast video of him the other day - - bout all I can say is - - WOW - brings a lot to the table - -now see what you did – got me all worked up again lol - - but your Right - -Kyree - -come on buddy - -come play with " the boys " - bring it with you bad boy - - your right hope we lean on him hard. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Right now he is - -but seriously talking about re-classifying - - lots of smoke. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Thinking though that he had said he was just focusing on the AAU circuit right now and wouldn’t really sit down and think about it to much until after circuit was over - -isn’t that what he said, swore I read that some where on him - -NOW we really need to get after him hard – We’vew been on him for some time…
Before this Tucker BS - I was hoping Tucker land here - -we could try and keep Kyree in 2020 and then we could just slide him into the point in 2020 if and when RJ leaves - -but things have changed

that makes 2 of us

Well , Well - -more interesting news - - - -things that make you go Whaaaaaaaaa? - Just saw where Andrew Slater put in his CB pick for Boogie Ellis - he picked him to commit to Oregon > - - - whaaaa? - - slater usually pretty solid, man I hope things don’t start shifting that way - all that would do would be to ad fire for the RJ to Memphis - -be just our ficken luck
I’m tellin ya - -for a team that has some many Scholi’s they can offer - a lot of playing time available - -we are sure sucking buttermilk right now – I’m not feeling it – what the hell? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And Evan put one in for Memphis. What a deal
-
@FarmerJayhawk for who??
-
@Woodrow Boogie Ellis
-
@FarmerJayhawk Nice. So you can see the VIP picks? Someone said we reached out to him. Is that true?

We did but nothing came of it is likely hes gonna land at Memphis
-
FarmerJayhawk said:
@Woodrow Boogie Ellis
ya I knew Evan did – Evan ALSO moved his pick for Precious from Memphis to undecided too - kind of following Cory and his pick fro Precious from Memphis to KU.
Just can’t comprehend Slaters pick for Boogie to Oregon

I can! I’m an Inside Carolina member, mostly for their football coverage. We did, he wasn’t interested.

Well good news just keeps rolling in , read an article from a couple days a go that I received through my E-mail that Kentucky has made up ground in the last couple of weeks for RJ Hampton.
Says that it has been widely precepted that it was down to a two team race between KU and Memphis but the last 2 weeks Kentucky had been gaining ground according to Corey Evans from Rivals. - Right now Ku is leading for RJ at 62%.
It just keeps getting better and better and better holy crap - says Kentucky has gotten RJ interest- looks like a perfect ending to way to many misses - we know if Kentucky goes after a kid they want 9-10 they will end up getting that kid and make it work just like Duke. - - Thought we were good with him against Kentucky because of their crowded backcourt but NOW who the hell knows. – Dam
-
Lol
-
@jayballer73 It appears he is trying to drive his price up. Who knows…maybe it pays better to sit on the bench at Tucky than it does to start at KU.
-
Kentucky already has three 5* pgs. Not happening.
-
@BShark I think you make a real good point. Logically speaking, why would a 5 star point guard go to a university if there were already two 5 star point guards signed? If you had 50+ offers to truly run the entire show ( a little bit like Trae Young ) at practically any place you wanted to go, why would 3 5-star pgs sign to play on the same team? My answer is everyone of these kids are getting paid big bucks to play small amounts. Why would Rayjon Tucker choose Memphis, where he is sharing the limelight with a boatload of top 10 recruits…over a starring role with KU? The whole sport is corrupt…rotten to the core.

I still have serious doubts about him to Kentucky - - but you still can’t ignore things - the way our year has played out - - -at this point anything is possible in this recruiting year. - - Hell just look at how confident people were thinking about Tucker - -and then BAM the huge kick to the nads - - for Memphis - - Memphis - hadn’t been hearing squat about them in his recruitment. - It was all aboutm KU and Auburn - - MEMPHIS for Christ sakes
-
I would be genuinely stunned if he goes to UK. Memphis, KU and overseas pro league are all more likely.

exactly - -and some how – some way Ol crap for brains manages to persuade these kids to come whether they loaded or not – it’s Kentucky

@BShark The “Penny Bank” is open…
