So who else is recruiting Walker? Hard to imagine other programs not going after him with both bags available.
Just Arkansas. If Nike were to win Memphis. But if he is reclassing KU would be the driving force since those two schools are full.
Like KU was the driving force for RJ to reclassify? I’m tired of this recruiting cycle. What a bad joke.

Especially with an absolutely gaping hole at the wing. He wants the ball in his hands as more of a guard (personally I like him more as a 3) but he can do that playing off guard at KU. Dead eye shooter too. 43 and 47 percent the last two years. 80% from the line over his career too.
Yeah he’d be great to have.
-
@dylans I get the annoyance, I really do. But KU will end up landing some guys.
-
Texas is going to hire Yaklich. This will hurt what chance Michigan had to retain Jalen Wilson.
-
Dear this year’s recruiting cycle, please end. Sincerely, Marco

Agree. - - With Yaklich going to Texas that means Wilson lost the TWO most important of the guys that were on his recruitment. - - Head Coach Berlein & now Yaklich – BUT I’m not even going to even begin to allow myself to start thinking about a possibility until he commits - This season has just WAY to whacked. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Here’s my new mindset - KU will never land another top 100 recruit. That way IF they do sign one I can be happy and not pissed at every whiff. There are far more misses than hits the way this staff recruits, wide net.
-
@jayballer73 I believe you like Kyree Walker about as much as I do. Sounding like KU will make a push to get him for next season, but it would be late, maybe even Brandon Rush late.

Ya I like him a lot. - when I watch clips of him , and I know they are high lite clips but looks like the kid can be a pretty physical player , like I’ve mentioned here I believe , seen where they call him like a positionless player. - - I think from the way it sounds and I know if he re-classifies I’m sure things will change drastically but as of the moment - for him it was like 3 teams he was listing -Arkansas - - Memphis - -& KU.
the kid can score for sure - -would be a nice fit at the 2 give us some outside scoring - got some serious hops as you know - -decent handles.
I think when you talking late you mean as far as him committing right ? - -If that is what you mean I understand as the latest article I saw on him was that he wasn’t really even focusing on that right now - -with playing in the circuit - -I think I read that ends up in like the latter part of July. - I hope we can get him to re-classify - but like I posted earlier in one of the threads - even if we do I refuse to let my hopes rise until he literally commits as this year as really chapped my ass on this whole recruiting process. - keep our fingers crossed there is mutual interest buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
As frustrated as I am as a fan about recruiting I can only imagine how the staff feels. And they have to keep a smile on and go do it again today. Played twice in the same month. Poor guys, hope they have a plan D E and F.

Lol! Man, I feel ya! I’m at this point ready to just start the season and see if we might be able sign someone come November!

I think, at this point, that their plan is to get to the '19-'20 season and go all in on the '20 and '21 recruits. Three that I want to be Jayhawks? Xavier Foster, Ty Berry and Bryce Thompson.
-
Speaking of Kyree Walker, Jerry Meyer just put in a CB pick for KU.
-
@FarmerJayhawk For what year?
-
He’s still officially in 2020, so that’s all you can pick at this point. I think the expectation is for him to jump to 2019 though.

No reason for KU not to make a big push. Kid is super entrenched with Adidas as well.

Zion says HI…Never hurts that he’s on the grassroots program probably being influenced to stay with Adidas though. I also get we are talking about two completely different people. Zion had a big brand and was going to be tough to retain. Walker from everything we hear is much quieter and may just enroll somewhere (KU) without much fan-fare

For sure. Even if Dotson and Grimes come back he’ll be able to play a lot at the 2 and 3.

In that case Zion was Nike and then Adidas made a play to try and recruit him for KU. Didn’t work out but this is a lot different than Zion’s situation.
Walker has been at one of the bigger Adidas AAU teams and been going to an Adidas prep school.

Yes, be patient on this one. We probably won’t know much until July at the earliest. He still has to get all his coursework done. The good news is Hillcrest has a reputation of… ummmm… making it happen

Adidas version of Oak Hill?
-
Something like that! I can say Oak Hill is pretty rigorous. They don’t mess around up there. More like a military academy than basketball factory.
-
So @jayballer73 what happened to Apollo Jackson? Has he signed with anyone yet?

ya I know buddy. - -it’s just I’ve liked Kyree for some time but just wasn’t sure about him coming here. - -I’ve looked a little more since you posted - -read a few remarks - comments on him , a lot of which I already knew, Ryan you know who that is said he felt like it would be late but felt fairly confident that we just might land him . I mean again I knew it would be late because he said he really wasn’t really even focusing on it right now.
I fully understand but I do appreciate the info. - So let me ask , do you know , have you heard anything on would Kyree be ok as far as academics so he would be able to qualify - is he ok on the academic side? - All I know the kid is a stud.
Someone else posted - -think off the Phog , that Kyree also has that little bit of edge/attitude. - I’ve said this before - -I like that. - I like someone who is good and KNOWS he is good. - If you got game and you know you got game - - BRING IT bad boy - -get somec as long as he doesn’t go over the edge with it - -a little cockiness doesn’t hurt anyone get a little tiresome to see some of the player that really don’t show a lot of emotion - -somebody with that fire in their gut - -Kyree has that. - let’s hope we can work it out. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yeah, my impression is that if he graduates on time from Hillcrest everything will be fine academically. But it’s not a lock he will get it all done by the time he would have to get to KU. I also wouldn’t entirely rule out him coming mid-year a la Silvio if he needs to clean up a course or two.
-
You know , even though it has been as crazy as it has been this recruiting year - – so many misses , yet it is almost mind boggling to even begin to think that even after ALL of this they we ( KU ) good STILL end up with a pretty dam good recruiting year - -even now if we can just get a couple of things to swing our way for once this year. - hard for me to even comprehend.
If things were to happen and play out right , and we should happen to still be able to pull Wilson & Walker into this class – - get Devon to come back - We would still have a pretty dam salty bunch - -here is hoping. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@FarmerJayhawk If he comes mid year can he still declare for the draft? Or does he have to be a full calendar year out of HS?

He can declare. It’s a year removed for your class, so since he would be in the class of 2019, he’d be eligible for the 2020 draft.
-
Enaruna, Braun, McBride, SDS, Grimes and Dotson. Now that’s a class anyone would be envious of!
More to come?

We want Wilson & Kyree Walker
-
OK, so I was too fast on Grimes. My bad…
-
Well now that’s out of the way - -time to cinch it up - -Get Jalen to commit here - then get after Kyree , we be good to go. - -Need to hit it out of the Park with Jalen - -here tomorrow. - - we still really need those two spots. - - The small forward ( Jalen ) - -and then my boy Kyree at the 2. LET’S DO THIS. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Bill Self is down in Texas right now. Jalen Wilson lives in Texas.

Self is probably putting RJ’s dad in pile driver would be my guess.

Well I see someone - - don’t know who , must have changed their CB pick on Jalen. - we were at 50% for Michigan - - - - and 39% - for KU - -now I see it’s 50 % for Michigan - -to 33 % for KU - means someone must of changed to cloudy from KU
-
It was Evan Daniels unfortunately
-
He will take both visits is the recent report. Makes sense to shift to cloudy.
-
Still think we get him at the end.
-
And I don’t think we end up offering Hyland unless he goes to prep school, which at this point might be the most likely outcome. Would be a RS candidate here anyway.
-
@jayballer73 he’s been in Australia, maybe he’s coming back home

I mentioned this somewhere recently, can’t remember exactly where. But it makes a ton of sense. He’s a guy that really needs to get stronger and develop. Will be a fantastic college player but not right away.
-
Time for our best recruiters to stand up to the plate - -hit the slam with Jalen. - - -Time for our best closers to step on the mound and close the deal with Jalen – let’s do this , no pussy footing around. - Time to come Home Jalen - become part of Jay hawk Nation. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And jalen can tell his buddy how crazy it is to play at AFH! How fun McCarthy hall is w/out your parents! And how all the students think you are hot stuff and you have great tutors. Hudy has transformed your body and you have the best new family one could have! Rock Chalk!
