New 2019 Recruiting



  • I like Cumberland because he had 15 games where he hit at least 4 3 pointers, and 14 games where he had at least 4 assists. He averaged 1.1 steals a game to boot. He averaged 17 ppg on 12.3 spg, so it’s not like he was shooting 25 shots a game. If there’s a minute left in the game, I want our opponents fouling this guy instead of Marcus.



  • @KUSTEVE

    Cumberland would be a great addition. He is transferring? Is he eligible



  • @BeddieKU23 He is eligible. He is ranked one spot higher than Isaiah Moss:

    1. Jaevin Cumberland, 6-3, 185 pounds, SG, RS Jr., Oakland The cousin of Cincinnati guard Jarron Cumberland is a big-time backcourt scorer. Averaged 17.2 points and 3.5 assists and shot 39.9 percent from 3.

  • Have there been rumors about Cumberland to KU?



  • @Kcmatt7 Yes. I’m starting it…

    LOL…



  • @KUSTEVE It seemed like he was favoring Michigan. Perhaps that changes now.





  • Corey Evans still thinks we land both Hampton and Precious.



  • I’d rather get Wilson than precious



  • But apparently we can’t be too choosy rn

    Evan put in a pick for Jalen Wilson to KU 👀👀👀

    Blackshear won’t look at colleges until he determines whether he’s going to stay in the draft or not.

    just saw the pick by Evan Famer - - - on the 247 - now those CB’s show that Jalen is at 94% to Michigan for Jalen - -BUT that was all in account BEFORE Berlin resigned to go to Cleveland though right - -so I think that all totally changes - -like new ball game right?



  • Kcmatt7 said:

    Room for both! It’ll be a massive feeding frenzy if he asks for his release.

    Has he even decommitted yet?

    Negative, ghostrider.



  • A Memphis insider just put in a CB pick for Achiuwa to KU. Not sure what is going on here but it smells of manufactured/fake drama.

    No sir. This is legit.



  • Not saying it’s done. Because it’s not done to anywhere.



  • it may turn out getting interesting - Memphis insider - some one that is like some kind of so called analyst or a guy who follows recruits and talks with them or what?

    Brooks over at the Memphis site is among the best connected out there. He’s since switched back to Memphis.



  • But all I’ve gathered says it’s KU or Memphis and nobody has a great feel for how it will end up.



  • Bossi thinks R.J. is likely to KU, doesn’t have a feel for KU or Memphis for Precious. All the info is in that direction. Too early to say on Jalen Wilson.





  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    I want to beeeelieve.

    So what does people think? -I dunno as for me - - my first take on Wilson after reading this article - - I just kind of think he probably rides this out and more likely then not sticks with Michigan - that would be my 1st take - -yet things can change , we will see.

    Now as far as Precious - -this is wild up – down - -up - - down - -possibly - - no way - - possibly - - no way - it would be sweet though. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    It all depends on what direction Michigan goes with the coaching staff.



  • There were some comments int he article where he said that he liked how Beilein didn’t try to change the player that he is. Hopefully who he is is exactly what we need and we make that case convincingly.

    have to have him ask for his release before anything - that could very well not even happen

    Hopefully he asks out of his LOI soon and at least takes visits.

    tx guy on the Phog with RJ info had some stuff to share about Jalen. Basically though he was SHOCKED by this happening and is still trying to process it. He was all set to move to Ann Arbor soon and start summer classes.



  • @approxinfinity Doesn’t he like to play 25 feet out?

    I’d imagine. Honestly, it feels like a pretty shitty thing for Beilein to do this late. Screws over players and his staff pretty hard.



  • @Kcmatt7 Apparently this was all done with complete stealth. Everyone is shocked. Recruits were not told at all etc

    that’s kinda messed up for the recruits



  • I think it’s pretty hard to do everything right leaving a high profile school. Always had a lot of respect for Beilein. Maybe he’s a private guy and didn’t want to disrupt anyone, and didn’t think it was going to happen. I give him the benefit of the doubt here. And also, a free pass for a midlife changeup.



  • It was a weird decision. He must’ve been disgusted by the recruiting payola. The way he exited wasn’t good, but I’ve seen worse. Like Chris Beard walking out on UNLV three weeks into the job.



  • Has it been mentioned here that RJ and Jalen are best friends?

    KU was one of his 6 schools he was considering before he committed to Michigan.

    I always felt Wilson was one that got away. Had a sort of Tyler Davis feel to it in a way.

    It sounds like whoever they hire will be the only thing that matters. If they wait out the hire we’re probably getting excited about nothin burgers.

    If they are smart Yaklich will be retained on the staff.

    Doing this in Mid-May is a pretty crappy thing to do, regardless of whether or not you’re typically a nice guy.

    Screws over current players. Screws over recruits. Screws over the program and university that you spent 12 years at. Screws over assistant coaches.

    His only responsibility is to himself, but I’d sure feel like a real asshole doing this the way he did it and especially in the time frame that it happened.

    I read this was a very real possibility.

    totally agree 100% - gave no thought to players or staff seems pretty crappy. - -just walking out on everybody. - -HA different sport but along time ago - -this would be like the pro football franchise that moved out of the City they played in - -in the middle of the night like trying to get out of town with no one knowing - just leaving the City in like What the hell.

    Just there was ALOT of ways he could of shown a little more class - instead twitter - seems pretty sad



  • Sorry…fake news on Twitter…whodathunkit?



  • Fwiw, Evan Daniels interview on CBS says he has been texting Wilson directly. The interview was from yesterday morning, but knowing that he has some direct contact makes me feel pretty good about him changing his pick last night…

    true and Wilson said when ask by Daniels - - - Man I’m thinking, - -so maybe little luck he ask for release and I guess him and Hampton suppose to be pretty good friends. - - We would for sure have minutes for him - -this is starting again to look kind of interesting in this recruitment year.

    On a side note has anyone heard anything about how the kid ( Moss ) ? - how his visit went - anything? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Did some searching on the Michigan board – seems like their fans too seem to believe that Wilson will ask for his release and come commit to Ku - -the main reason is because of him and RJ being best friends - -thing is we got to get RJ to come here 1st lol - -which I think is looking better,

    Bossi mentioned he thought Wilson was under rated at 50 - in the National rankings - said he has a really good shot - says he thought he ought to be `10-15 spots higher
