New 2019 Recruiting
-
Well good ol Fran tweeted out about an hour ago. Moss opening up his recruitment and saying looks like Kansas is the favorite.
Ol Fran right up to date lol - -nothing better then a day late and a dollar short - -tell us something we haven’t already heard lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Nothing big really but kind of looks as our competition might be throwing in the towels - -the fans I’m talking about for Jalen.
Off the Michigan board - -hasn’t been any comment about the possibility Jalen re-committing to Michigan for 2 days – & North Carolina fans – little comment on him - -and most the one’s said are about looking likely for KU - -only other comments are typical starting to throw the cheap jabs - - typical after you realize you have lost out on a recruit lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Sounds familiar, doesn’t it?
-
You guys already metioned that the time and date is set for Wilson’s announcement right? https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Article/Recruiting-Decision-date-time-info-for-KU-basketball-target-Jalen-Wilson-132706231/
-
That article also talks about Grimes possibly transfering to Texas A&M or Houston.
-
@approxinfinity Surprised Sampson hasn’t already shot him off a text.

Playa Daniels changed his CB pick back to KU.

Who have you heard from?Nobody who thinks UNC or Michigan has a prayer. UNC folks felt they needed to blow Wilson away and then some, but they don’t think they had a super clear role for Wilson in year 1 and the relationship between Wilson/UNC never really took off like he and Self (who took a very personal role on this one) and Wilson & family.

hopefully that means the word is out! I think it does

If Wilson commits who do you all think starts in the backcourt besides Dotson? I would like it to be Moss and Agbaji but I have a feeling that Jalen may start.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Starting - Dok, Silvio, Wilson (who I am happy to be wrong about, and we are signing), Dotson and Moss. Second 5 - Dave, Mitch, Enaruna, McBride and Agbaji. Garrett, Braun (who might be redshirted) and Bilau being mixed and matched. The lineup possibilities are damn near endless (I see Enaruna getting some PT at the 4).
That would be thirteen scholarships, beyond maddening how it all went down but I will be very cool with this team and the freshman class. Five freshman but redshirt one which will give us four, three sophomores, two juniors and three seniors - near perfect class balance. Silver lining’s playbook in how this class fell into place, gonna reap huge benefits for years to come.

I think Moss and Agbaji will start. I think Garrett plays starter minutes at whatever position we need depending on matchup. Wilson will play some 3, mostly 4 I’d imagine.
-
Ok I realize daniels changed his back to KU for Jalen this morning - - BUT who is the other one that put KU as their pick today?
Went to bed last night and KU was at 44% - -and Michigan 39% - -Then we went when Daniels picked us to 51 % - -we are now at 56% - -and Michigan at 33 % - - anyone know?
-
Billy Embody. Dude knows his stuff in Texas.
-
How in the world does Wilson start over Agbaji – or more precisely, why would we think that would be the case?
If Wilson is better, then ok. But why would we assume that Wilson is better?
-
Watch out! Gary Parrish moved us up from #12 to #7. Still has us behind Memphis and Maryland.
-
I want Agbaji to start. I’m worried about Bill promising starting spots to recruits. I haven’t seen Jalen play a game in college basketball yet. Maybe he is better.

Well one might say - just off ranking Wilson is a higher ranked player he is # 50 and it was said he was under ranked - - - probably handles the ball some better - -rebounds well - course that’s just of ranking - -I don’t think it matters - as been said many many times and how Bill put it - it’s not as much as who starts - it’s who is on the floor at crunch time - - -to many people worried about who starts. - Hell I’ve seen where some players START and then maybe play a whole total of 15 minutes the entire game - -again don’t get to hung up on who starts games - -very easy might not end up majority of minutes
-
I feel pretty confident Ochai will start. Remember he even started over Garrett last year when we went back to 2 bigs. Wilson and Ochai can’t play together unless Ochai really inprmoves his handle. I honestly think Wilson sees more minutes at the 4 than the 3.

he playing the 4 - - -over Silvio? - I have just felt he was locked into the 3
-
Not over Silvio. I don’t think Wilson starts. Another utility guy who can play 3 and stretch 4.

Don’t think that’s an issue here. Guessing the pitch was more “you can come in, compete and likely get minutes”. Wilson, no offense, isn’t in the perceived must start range to need a promise.
Like everyone else I think Ochai starts. Ochai is a Bill Self type player.
-
Well saw we just got bumped again we are now at 61% in the CB for Jalen - -up from 56 % earlier today - another pick -really rolling now
-
Ochai is a much more athletic player than Jalen with +1 year of experience. The only way Jalen starts is if he shoots the lights out and Ochai can’t hit his shot. It’s possible, but i don’t think we will see it.

A rumor out there that Wilson is going to sign with the Harlem Globetrotters for two years, then go into the draft. Looks like this one is going south.

Goodness … I just heard Wilson has a “surprise” in store. Not good.

Okay this post could be construed as serious unlike the other one.

Where did you hear that?

@HighEliteMajor New Zealand or Australia?
-
Why do these things always go the wrong way? Really worried about PT I guess.
-
Ya his big surprise is that he just signed for his 1st car. - - Not one word off his twitter about having any surprise - not one wiff about anything

lol

Something on snapchat I guess … never snapchatted. But I won’t sleep well tonight. Wonder if the announcement will get pushed back? Crap. And who is coach Pinkins at Florida? Didn’t know they were in this.

I think we’ll be okay without him if that’s what happens. I like the current roster a lot.

Agree. I think he’s coming but he’s pretty much Brannen Greene (but not crazy).

A lot more skilled but a way worse shooter than Brannen.
-
On rivals Corey Evans picked KU yesterday. If he’s on his streak still that means it’s anything but KU.
And Russ wood picked KU today also.
Any word on what Slater is picking?

True that Brannen really was a great shooter. Idk about way worse though. The lack of lateral quickness was the main point of comparison for me.
@rockchalkwyo No need for Slater to weigh in on this one.
