Too many coincidences line up here. Silvio getting reinstated, Wilson visiting, and summer school starting the next week. And you don’t go on ESPN to sign a deal with Australia. ESPN would tell you to go fly a kite
So is he announcing on ESPN ?

On their morning show!

FWIW. The staff thinks they got him.

@FarmerJayhawk What are the odds it’s Tech or Memphis?

ok guy - -sorry to keep pestering you about it - but ONE more question - -do you happen to know what time that is? - -and that would be right on the ESPN Challenge then right? - -just have to watch - hope he doesn’t disapoint
-
7-9 am
-
LOL , I’m rollin here - -Kentucky fans are about to die - - Between - Silvio getting cleared - -and Now RJ announcing - they about ready to Doo their britches lmao
-
Not that preseason ranking matters at all, but if Kansas gets Hampton and Wilson I don’t see how they aren’t preseason 1. This is assuming Dotson is back too.

Tech: 100000000:1. Memphis: the wild card. Maybe like 50:1?
-
@FarmerJayhawk Thanks. Keeping my fingers crossed.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’m putting $5 on TT at those odds (and splitting with RJ).
-
Tuesday!!!
-
I don’t believe anything until we get a signature. Burned to often. I did believe we’d get Silvio back,

Thank you very much greatly appreciated. - like was mentioned earlier too many things lining up - -Silvio - -get’s cleared - -later the same day RJ announces the date & on ESPN - like has been said he not going on ESPN to announce over sea’s. - -Remember he WAS going to wait to see who stayed - and who came back after the 29th - -Plus he announcing on the 28th - -Jalen visiting on the 29th - -nice recruiting tool. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
It’ll be Kansas.

@FarmerJayhawk fwiw RJ retweeted this: https://twitter.com/brhoops/status/1132063810724990977
Says he is deciding between KU/Memphis/Tech.

You mean KU/KU/KU
-
@FarmerJayhawk I do! Mainly bringing it up since overseas appears to be not in play anymore.

I would agree with that. ESPN would’ve told them to pound sand otherwise.

The basketball gods are finally smiling down upon us… Rock chalk!

I agree, doesn’t seem that he would announce on ESPN if going overseas.
-
Not being too skeptical here, but ESPN broadcasting and announcement to KU? My first thought was that this has the earmarks of a Memphis announcement, and ESPN slobbering all over Hardaway and his #1 recruiting class. The next UK b.s. We’ve had so much negativity, it’s hard to turn to positivity. I’m trying.

Skepticism is warranted. We’ve been snakebit by these things a lot. The last kid we got on an ESPN announcement was Billy. Whoops.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Seems like a lot of KU commitments lately announce on social media or just announce something at their school. Seems like Self/KU don’t care how they do it, whereas some of the other bigger schools might to drive up hype?
Still feel great about Hampton though.

Agreed. Nike likes their kids to announce on ESPN. Everyone else is like ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
@HighEliteMajor I was thinking similarly. It’s more of a story if he goes to Memphis and gives Penny a #1 recruiting class and a team with a really strong chance to win a national title. Or if he surprises everyone and picks Michigan because of Juwan Howard, and then they can write stories about rekindling the old Fab 5 and how Howard is going to create a new Fab 5 or something. A Kansas pick is kind of boring.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich lol stop
-
@BShark I’m just saying it wouldn’t surprise me at all if he chose Memphis.
-
Memphis will look good in the NIT
-
@BeddieKU23 well, they didn’t do THAT good last year
-
I suspect Memphis will be just fine and I’m pretty confident with that roster they’ll be at least a 3 seed.
-
So, if someone knows, what PG is standing in RJ’s way at Memphis? Dotson returning wouldn’t be an issue? Just being pessimistic right now.

Well his commitment video was pretty epic, even if his time at Kansas wasn’t…

Boogie Ellis- 5 star that decommitted from Duke. Their 3rd leading scorer from last year Tyler Harris is there too
-
Brooks over at the Memphis 247 site is saying they’re out on RJ. Just in case there was any consternation leftover.

Two pairs of shades, huh? Hampton and Wilson…

Seems okay. I have VIP but can’t read it for some reason… I guess because it’s on their forum and not an article.
-
Self likes two PG types on the floor together of course. Could be playing fast. Doke and SDS can get up and down the court.

Better than even money I’d say.

Tech just took another player. I’m 99% sure they’re at 13 now b

Might as well fill up since rj is going to KU. Brooks made a bunch more posts btw, anything interesting? Annoyed I can read articles but not forums there.
-
@FarmerJayhawk The other guy they got seems like a pretty decent player. A 6’9’’ forward who averaged 11.8 pts and 5.5 boards as a freshman and shot 39% from 3. I think he has to sit a year, though.
-
@BShark not really. Just Memphis may add one more, might not. They’re not counting on Rayjon. KU dodged a bullet there.
@KirkIsMyHinrich sit one, play 3 guy who’s going to be a royal pain in the ass as long as Beard is there.

You know, we have seen , we have read , and we have heard - off many of different conversation , multiple anlysts predicting - -words amongst ourselves from various places - talking about how good it was/is looking – How the CB is really favoring us – Others that were in the race for RJ commenting/surrendering /conceding - RJ to the Crimson and Blue - -that’s awesome - -Yet after the way this year has gone with so many peaks and valleys - -I just won’t feel at ease/confident UNTIL I hear RJ utter those words. - -to many let downs this year - - I just can’t feel at ease - - -I could much easier see Rj Tuesday getting on ESPN - -thanking everyone and then saying with that being said - I’m proud to announce that I will be playing at the University of Memphis - - I could just see that - - OH HELL NO
-
@jayballer73 the only competition for KU is overseas. And I think it’s Kansas.
-
So, what - boring Memorial Day weekend, everything’s underwater - do you guys think? Is Dotson coming back? Man, was thinking back on our (my) misses this year on recruiting (Tucker was a great miss), usually have a good feel. I’ll say this, though, (mark it down fellas!) if Self reels in Hampton and Wilson on top of Enaruna, McBride and Braun I will never doubt him again. The trial and Silvio’s suspension damn near tanked us.

Oh definitely. It’s because I’ve never heard anyone say it’s done to Kansas.

I feel pretty confident that Devon is coming back buddy. - -No w do I have any of that inside source stuff? - -no I don’t. - -just what my logic - -instinct is telling me - - my gut. - -Devon was quite clear in or his dad and him said - -they were really testing the NBA waters for informational purposes - to get feed back to see what he needed to work on - -what his short comings were so he could get them fixed. or improved
It’s been pretty well thought of by most that he will be back - a lot of NBA personal saying he needs to come back - -I think he will run with that. - -Even though he had a solid combine , not really strong enough to improve his status as much as he needs - -you want to get that 1 st round - so you can get that guaranteed money – most are thinking he right now is probably a middle to lower 2nd round 45 or lower - he comes back - puts in the work , has a really good year - -then all bets are off. - I think we are in really good shape for this year and his return. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
