@ajvan can’t ever make up for his dad, plus he’s moving here. Maybe send him to Australia!
-

-
@BShark he sure as heck better give the dang shorts back!

@BeddieKU23 Lavar errr Rod Hampton said he was “praying Devon Dotson stays in (the draft)”. I’m pretty off it.
RJ and Rod aren’t seeing eye to eye on this. RJ wants to play with Dotson at Kansas. Rod wants the opposite in about every way.
So the way I would see this , just like when I was that age many many many moons ago.
RJ even at the age of 18 is basically for all practical purposes is looked at as an Adult. - -at the age of 18 I was out of mommy and daddy’s house - -I was independent - -I was starting the adventure of my own life.
Now RJ’s future is pretty well written - he will be and NBA players making boo-koo money So here is what I just don’t get. - Yes I was taught to respect my Parents - - -Yes I valued their opinions. - -BUT at the end of the day - - this is or should be RJ’S -decision - it’s HIS career - -his future that we are talking about here. - - there fore RJ should be the one to say – I’m going to KU to play - - OR I’m going over sea’s - - NOT DADDY.- I if I were RJ I would be trying to in the nicest respectable way be trying to tell DAD look I value & Respect your opinion BUT this is MY future - -this is MY job
The Hamptons won’t have to worry - RJ comes to KU he has a full ride the year he is here , and is there anyone that doesn’t think he won’t help take care of his family when he is done with his one year in College - -you can bet your life - -they need financial help RJ makin that green - -he will help - -the Hampton family gonna be well taken care of by their son.
With this being about RJ’S Furure - - it should be RJ’S and only RJ’S final decision and DADDY should take two steps back and just support RJ’S decision - -he is now an adult - let RJ lead his life how RJ wants to lead HIS life. - -
Like I’ve always told my kids - -it’s your decision, – right , wrong , whatever - -it’s your decision. - and you’ll learn - one way or the other you will learn - if they ask me what I think - I’ll give my opinion - end the end - -it’s their decision - he can’t always have DADDY their to make decisions for him. - - -Those kind of kids - -for the most part , they learn the hard way - - It’s a cold hearted world out there if you don’t stand up - -it will chew you up and spit you out - DAAD needs to step back - let RJ do what RJ wants to do - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 they are moving with him.

@Crimsonorblue22 RJ in Lawrence and Rod in Australia sounds good.

Ah how I love the presumed OAD drama. Lovely, isn’t it?

Self has zero options now basically. In this instance he did get hamstrung a bit in the early part of the cycle. We will never know but I am convinced the class is all but done at this point otherwise.
I will be very intrigued to see how 2020 goes. It will need to be a large class.
-
@BShark Your logic is inescapable of course … I’m a whiner on this topic.

I mean I mostly agree with you on THIS one. This is a 3 ring circus and it’s absurd.
-
Yeah guys. I wouldn’t watch this one. It’s over.
-
No kidding? This lil piss ant is leading us on?
-
He has his Twitter photo upside down, so I guess he means down under by that. I’d much rather have a 2nd year Dotson over him anyway. 8:30 AM Eastern is 8:30PM in Australia. Next…
P.S. What do you want to bet that Jalen either stays with Michigan, or goes to UNC now?
-
@KUSTEVE That has nothing to do with it, but Hampton is going to the NBL.
@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah it’s done. The New Zealand team removed and and all suspense lol.
-
Oh also there is this
https://twitter.com/bturner23/status/1133242361033703425
At least it’s over…just get Dot back.
-
The Breakers, huh?

KU or UNC all the way is what I’ve heard and KU has a great shot regardless of RJ commiting to the NBL.
-
And I thought we were about to see some good stuff from Spring Bill.
-
@Kcmatt7 Lavar Hampton needed that million.
-
@Kcmatt7 Sometimes there’s not much you can do. I think Bill did everything he could have here.

I wouldn’t count on KU at all anymore at this point. - -If it was just RJ not coming would be one thing. But with the combination - Of RJ Dad pulling his crap - -and then Juwan being the hire at Michigan - -and looking like Yaklich staying at Michigan - -Wilson will reverse direction and stay put along with their other commit.
Another case of where the parents will win out -they love Michigan and named him after Jalen - -at this point with the way this fricken year has went - -like you said a couple of posts back - -you think our recruiting is done - -your right it is. - - -WITHOUT Jalen - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If we don’t get Dotson back…and Q won’t come back… are we looking at Marcus running point?
-
@BShark Maybe you’re right…just wondered why his profile picture was now upside down…

Well we will - either today - hopefully about Devon or tomorrow. - Side note - - boy ESPN really giving things away before RJ announces his decision just made statement about how going to be major discussion - - hmmmm wonder what they mean by that lmao - -what a fricken joke
-
ESPN ending any potential suspense for sure lol.

@BeddieKU23 If you wanna barf, there are some great quotes for that from Rod Lavar Hampton here: https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/RJ-Hampton-pro-deal-New-Zealand-Breakers-132369179/

“He’ll definitely be more prepared for NBA life than if he went to college”

No thanks. Money talks
-
Probably need to re-name this the Rod Hampton thread. RJ doesn’t seem to have any say in his life.
-
@dylans That or something bitching about Adidas. Who is even on their circuit this year?
-
@BShark IDK. At least he didn’t visit with Jalen for the Tucker party tour.
-
RJ sure made it sound like he never wanted to play college ball. If that really is the case, good riddance.

I think we dodged a bullet.

Can we lose the one-year rule yet?

Nah. It just took a dark turn though. I doubt anyone will be singing RJs praises in this thread from here on out. Lol

ya I caught that little remark too - -think that was daddy talking possibly? - -saying he neve wanted his boy to play college ball?
-
Since Ryan isn’t on here I will copy his last post from the phog because it’s really good info. Remember this is the guy that had this stuff first that I had seen.
“FWIW, I was told back when I first mentioned Australia (different thread I think? maybe a locked one?) that it was already signed and the rest of this was going to be him and his dad doing a bit of a dog and pony show. He had a big offer to play in China, but they opted for UA and Australia over that.”
-
So we lose out on yet another prime recruit for this year. So there will be a lot of snide remarks made including myself - venting frustration and be P - - - - - off which is fine - we should be able to do that , yet decision has been made - -no reason to continue to start degrading and all kinds of negative things towards the kid. - -It suck - -ya it sucks big it’s a bunch of crap
Yet one thing I’ve noticed , not only here but everywhere - -when fans think they are getting a kid I’ve done this just as much as anyone else - -and it all gets caught up in the heat of the moment - -when you think you have a kid - -think it’s as sure as sure can be - the kid is a stud , - - unbelievable player - - killer , - - - -how we are going to smash it with this kid.
Then when he declares for another school after all of this - or in RJ’S case over sea’s - all of a sudden - he becomes a piece of crap – or he isn’t as good - - or he is a drama queen and activities - or any other nasty mean thing we can say about the kid?- -Is’nt this the same kid that we were heaping all that praise o just yesterday or the day before.?
It’s just interesting how these things go. - One minute - were getting the best player in years - and then going to a piece of garbage drama queen kid.
The whole situation sucks - - -Sucks - -B - - - - but nothing we can do. - -I think the best thing to do is like Betty said LOCK THIS DOWN and move on - don’t even waste our time any further - it IS a money thing like has been said - -yet it is what it is - -becoming a money business thing - - all I say is - - Screw it. v- - not sure if we have a chance to try possibly and get Kyree Walker yet or not - - haven’t heard much.
-
@jayballer73 Is this really a loss? Seems clear that RJ was never going to college in a million years.
Worth noting that NONE of the coaches involved were even visiting him the last few weeks. So, I think maybe they did know at least somewhat. It is unfortunate though.
