2020 Recruiting
-
@Marco I need to see more of Berry. I think McBride can be a contributor eventually because his jump shot is elite. I just don’t know yet if Berry appears to have any elite attributes. If anyone here has watched him play they would easily know more than the those of us that haven’t.
-
@BShark I saw him in the Under armour tournament in Kansas city last month, a lot bigger than I imagined he would be ( about 6" 4 with muscle) nice handles and a very smooth stroke from the outside, I was highly impressed !
-
Cunningham getting a lot of Okie St smoke. Wow.

Look out below!

Lol, you posted this about Walker/KU too and I’m not 100% sure what it means. :p

I hope he goes to Okie Lite if not Kansas. dook and UK were on him like flies on shit
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ok that makes a lot of sense. It was more or less my assumption, but always good to clarify.
T mentioned K “w/e it takes to get him in Lawrence” T is running point on Walker, so uh…I think your math checks out there!

Honestly wouldn’t hate the Big 12 becoming completely badass. KU would still make the tournament and the tougher league could help development.

Oh yes. Adidas would love to keep Walker in the family. I’ve heard Todd’s recruitment is not exactly above board, being in Raleigh and all. UNC isn’t really competing that hard for him. I have a hard time thinking he’ll go anywhere that can’t make it worth his while.
-
Theory: Nike knows it is under the microscope so now it has to spread the love around a little more and not just Duke, UK, UNC, Oregon, and LSU…

Made Cunningham’s top 10. I think we’re in the top tier.

2021 daron Holmes has been offered by ku

Some of both. He’s a Texas kid so I can see the appeal of playing close to home.

I’m just surprised that’s an actual school hes considering behind the scenes. I never gave it thought he wasnt going anywhere but a blue blood so this is surprising

@BShark is he being sarcastic there? I honestly can’t tell what Slater is trying to say…

I’m not fully sure. The other insinuation is because it went so poorly with Cheick.

So Question , wondering what would be so wrong with us trying to get back involved with Zach Harvey? - -kid from Topeka/well was from Topeka. - He had that incident with pics and sending texts or something - but that’s all over with now right? - What would be so wrong with trying to pick that back up again # 39 in the class of 2020 – just curious. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I THINK WE ARE NOT IN THE PIC WITH HIM NOMORE
-
Reminder: 2020 unlike 18 and 19 is a LOADED class. Let’s make it a big one Bill.
-
Yes ,you are right 2020 is definitely a loaded class, lots of talent
-
Sounds like Okie Lite is going to hire Cade Cunningham’s brother as an assistant.
-
@FarmerJayhawk that stinks! For a year?

KU has recently offered and looks to be recruiting Top 50 PG Karim Mane of Canada. A 6’5 PG might fit the combo mold Self likes to recruit. Will be one to monitor
-
@BShark heard he was a videographer for Tulane?

Yes please.
Edit: He seems genuinely interested.

New 2020 player rankings. Bryce Thompson jumped all the way up to #19!! Jumped 70 spots.
-
@Woodrow He’s really freaking good. Bill needs to close this one.
-
Yeah Bryce is definitely a hooper
-
Really seems like he made that jump from last yr. I think showing he can play PG with his scoring ability has changed his ceiling
-
Who thought that Thompson would jump that high? I sure the hell didn’t. But I have always liked Thompson and hope that we can sign him, maybe get him, Berry and a guy like Xavier Foster come November - get 'em wrapped early. Going to be real tough - if not close to impossible - to get Foster out of Iowa, though.
Isaiah Cottrell, Kyree Walker, Bryce Thompson and Ty Berry? I’d take that in a heartbeat. If that class were to somehow fall in place we would still need one more big.
-
If Duke came calling, Foster would teleport out of Iowa.

Interesting list. They still have Harvey 80% percent KU lean.
-
@Marco I wouldn’t put any stock into those %. Those are based off of people’s picks. What happens is people go in and log a pick and might have been a year ago and then a school stops recruiting him and people don’t change their picks. Those % are worthless until about a month or so before someone announces.
-
@Woodrow yep
All those Harvey picks are super old and I believe KU stopped recruiting him.

YES THEY HAVE STOP

the only way those% change is if someone makes another prediction - -these picks are suppose to be coming from people that follow these kids around the circuts - talk to them almost daily - and some of these guys just follow another lead - about the only legit one’s I pay attention to is Evan Daniels - - Jerry Meyer - - & Eric Bossi - - & Andrew slater - they are usually pretty legit - -the rest just usually piggy back off those 4
-
What do you guys think of Isaiah Cottrell? Seems, if we sign him, to be an immediate contributor - not a star - who will work hard.

Program guy. Going to need more in that class. Dream 2020 class, assuming Dotson and Silvio go pro, and we land Wilson, Walker, and Bilau: Daishen Nix, Makur Maker, and Bryce Thompson. So the starting lineup would look something like Nix, Walker, Agbaji, Wilson, Maker. That team could play stupid, stupid fast.
-
@FarmerJayhawk That is one hefty recruiting class. If we signed all five of those guys you certainly wouldn’t hear me bitching, Lol
-
@FarmerJayhawk Maker at the 5, Bilau 4, Walker a 3, Nix the 1 and Thompson the 2 - not too shabby…!

How good is he? Didn’t think we were on him that heavy. That is, until now. I think our 2020 class is going to be loaded. Alot of great depth in that class overall from top to bottom. A team could sign 5 players at the bottom of that list and stiil have themselves a great recruiting class.

Really talented kid. Plus athlete, really good scorer. I don’t think he can run the point full time yet, but he’d be a nice complement to Nix, who’s more of a traditional PG. Self would love him. He’s a terrific penetrator and has a really good handle. His jumper is streaky but some of that is probably just from his lack of a good S&C program.
-
@FarmerJayhawk kind of like Sherron Collins but bigger?
