@justanotherfan Raimey looked like the best player on the court for much of that game to me.
Not sure he is even being recruited at the D1 level right now. That said, he does look good.
I’m hoping whatever is going to happen with KU basketball is known before next season for recruiting purposes.
-
@BShark is he a junior? Maybe to tough to get him with Dotson and the guy we already have signed for this year. But if hes a junior we should look at him. I think we need to go after the 2 best guys most years in our state/area (KC).

Yes he is a 2020 recruit. KU will most assuredly go after bigger fish like Adam Miller, Daishen Nix* and RJ Hampton if he stays in 2020. But man if KU could get Berry, Raimey and Thompson right now that wouldn’t be the end of the world…
*So yeah, Nix exploded like I thought he would. I was thinking wtf when he was ranked sub 100 and now he is a top 15 recruit so yeah.

There is also the question of how many guard spots KU is even going to have open. It will need to be a big haul if we lose Grimes, Dotson and Agbaji.

Ku is not lossing all 3

@JAYHAWKFAN214 I think they mean after next season. I actually find it a legit possibility. No reason all three of them don’t average double digit points and have us in the Top 5 from start to finish.
-
Yes I am talking about after next season. I am guessing right now that all three are BACK for next year. Agbaji fully expected, Dotson very likely and Grimes up in the air but he is undraftable imo.

Raimey is a KCK kid. I haven’t seen him play live since he was in middle school (he was well ahead of his peers then). It looks like he has been rounding out his game quite a bit.
He and Braun are two very different style of players. Braun is a true wing player. Raimey is much more of a lead/combo guard. They would look very good in the same backcourt.
As far as I know, Raimey is being recruited by a lot of the local programs right now (Creighton, Wichita State, etc.) but he has been to late night, so he is definitely on KU’s radar.

Ryan on the phog is reporting Braun is now 6’8 and may still be growing… The plot thickens
-
The floor spacing in two years is going to be absurd.
-
@BShark who is # 11 in this video?

Very interesting, if true. He becomes a much better signing if this is the case. His trajectory changes if he is able to play the 4 spot.
@jayballer73 Which video? Odds are I posted it awhile ago and don’t remember a ton about it.

I wouldn’t want him at the 4 unless he’s a good defender and rebounder. Having a wing at 6’8, possibly even 6’9 that can shoot over the top of defenders is going to be a nice thing to have once he’s comfortable in this system. thoughts?
-
@BeddieKU23 I want skilled, mobile 4s more often than not. I think if he is 6’8’’ he offers great line-up flexibility at almost no cost. When you can get away with playing big you can plug him in at the three, when you are playing Iowa State, he could be great at the 4.
All of this is down the road of course. I think he’s still a
candidate next year.

@jayballer73 Jaylon McDaniel. He wants to be a Tar Heel.

Gotcha - - thanks man - -looks pretty decent

@BShark " I DON’T GIVE A S*** ABOUT NORTH CAROLINA! "

I love this kid. I think he has the ball skills to really be a headache for other teams at the 3 or the 4.

Might Braun play more than expected?
Braun has impressed coaches and teammates with hustle plays. “Tough” is the word everyone seems to use to describe him, which is a good way to earn minutes with Self. “Christian is probably the most prepared right now to do things that add to winning that you don’t see on a stat sheet,” Self says. “He’s unbelievable at stealing extra possessions.”

I’ll be more than happy to be proven wrong here.

Same.

Is anyone doubting Braun now? The kid will - I’m calling it - be in the NBA in three to four years, ditto Enaruna (even sooner).
-
My questions for Braun were never on the offensive end. My concern has always been on the defensive end. I need to see him be able to hold his own on that end. If that’s the case, I don’t have any doubt that he can play in the NBA as a reserve shooter. But he needs to show at least average defensive chops in order to capitalize on that.
