2020 Recruiting
-
OSU isn’t exactly a recruiting powerhouse so I don’t fault them for doing whatever they need to do to land big-time recruits. They’re playing by the rules. The Big 12 could use good players anyway.
-
KU likes this guy. A LOT. https://247sports.com/Player/Mady-Sissoko-46051902/
Also was Enaruna’s teammate. Can’t hurt if he likes it at KU.
-
When I watched Enaruna’s HS team Sissoko stood out. Athletic rim runner with good size. He’s a catch and 1 move guy at best, rebound put-back, lob/dunk post player. Pretty similar to how Azubuike and Diallo were coming to KU. He’s the type of post Self lands.
-
Read where N’Faly Dante is visiting Kentucky this Summer and still may reclassify. I know he isn’t going to KU, but that would be a HUGE boost for UK if they got him for next year…
-
Honestly I doubt Dante goes to college. Overseas is a real option and there’s some question as to whether he’ll qualify.
-
Do you say in a runa or e naruna?

Good, good

@FarmerJayhawk I heard he can’t speak English well enough to pass act.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I don’t know anything about that but it seems very weird that the ACT and SAT are only in English. Not a fan.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I think armchair Kansas said that.
-
Also, happy Bryce Thompson day! I ran with some info I got earlier about him visiting last week which turned out to be inaccurate. My bad.

Did he not visit last week and you mean he’s on campus now?
-
@BeddieKU23 He is coming tomorrow
-
Crap, today is just Wednesday. Long week.
-
No wonder we didn’t hear much.

-
I heard that Ty Berry was on campus today for an unofficial
-
@FarmerJayhawk I mean, let’s be real, they are supposed to be taking classes (though in reality many of them are not) in American universities, right? What, do teachers need to be bi, tri or quad-lingual? And if not, why should the tests be in anything other than English?
-
@Marco they all take classes. Pretty tinfoil hat of you to suggest they aren’t. They’re just glorified intelligence tests, so people should get to demonstrate their intelligence in their preferred language. If they have to take some English in college, fine by me.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Maybe so… But the exams are in English, as they should be.
-
Why though? The US doesn’t have an official language so I see no issue with translating the tests.

Also, knowledge of a 2nd language doesn’t mean one is intelligent or stupid.
If they would “pass” the test in their native language it means they should qualify for college.
-
@BShark Probably because the courses are done in English, and if they can’t pass the exams then that pretty much means that they (though many athletes are not really there to study) will not be able to follow said courses, let alone learn much. Which would throw the whole scam into question, now wouldn’t it?
-
@Marco svi says hi!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 And he passed the exams, right?
-
@Marco I know he couldn’t hardly speak English when he got here, DG taught him!
-
That’s why we have interpreters, tutors. I’m not sure if you can’t have somebody read the test for you.

Svi might have taken the TOEFL instead.
-
Another to keep an eye on https://247sports.com/Player/Lance-Ware-46048036/
-
@FarmerJayhawk odd profile for top 50 kid. Recruiting just picking up for him?
-
@BShark A 6-7, 205lb. PF, that’s why his offer sheet is what it is. Unless he grows and inch or two or can play on the perimeter, he doesn’t seem to have an elite level profile.
-
Profile claims 6’9’’
-
Late riser kind of kid. Not sure how much interest KU has right this second but Self will be on him this summer to evaluate.
-
Big kid, definitely not a wing. Room to grow into that frame of his. He is a 4 man. Will be interesting to see how this one goes. My buddy knows of him as he has some NJ connections, I’ll ask what he knows

Poking around it seems like he is Louisville’s to lose.

Bryce Thompson had a great time on his visit to ku today
-
New offer. We’re probably going to need a wing. https://247sports.com/Player/CamRon-Fletcher-46048763/

Well looking at his top 5 schools at the present - - looks like he is at least possibly interested in staying close as he list both Missouri & K-state in his top 5 - -Soo we get involved who knows might be a sweet addition.
My 2 BIG hopes for 2020 right now at the present time - - - Kyree - always have wanted him - -and Bryce - those are at the top of my list - that would be awesome

I would definitely take those two, have been high on Bryce for awhile. I think we’ll have ourselves a very solid class in 2020.

Not sure as far as bigs - -where we at - -who were on in 2020 you know or heard of any? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I’m going to have to do some checking on that. I was hoping for Foster, but that isn’t happening.

Pg r.j.davis, class of 2020 has picked up a offer from ku

21 @camronfletcher1 9h Class of 2020 Blessed to receive an offer from the university of Kansas

ya KU has offered. - -So far has offers from Marquette , Indiana , UCLA , Pitt - -& now KU. - - North Carolina interested - Herbert Davis was watching him the other day - -no offer yet - - Villanova interested - -no offer yet - - -visited G’Town
Currently ranked at # 86 - - by rivals - -pretty sure will be moving up as he getting more and more interest. - -Much rather have Dix - or hell even Love would be nice. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I think theres a half dozen or so guards higher on the list. We know they are extending plenty of offers to those they like or those they hope have some interest
-
Think we could get RJ Davis.
-
Maybe so but is he good enough compared to others we are after. Someone like Nix or Mane really push the needle. Not sure Davis is that guy.
He can shoot and has handles but he is not an athlete. Think moore
-
@BeddieKU23 thinking we don’t get Nix. Depends how many guards we need. If we need just two I’d love for it to be Thompson and Mane. Think Davis is very realistic and obtainable though. Could live with Thompson and Davis.

I agree to an extent. I want Thompson for sure and I think he is someone that could really pair well with McBride due to his bigger size and skill.
Davis with McBride isnt a big enough backcourt imo. I dont see Davis a starter at KU or a difference maker at that size and average athletic ability at best.
Mane mentioned KU as one of the 4 schools showing the most interest. I really liked his video. All the combo guard intangibles and he is a plus athlete. That kid has NBA potential at his size as a pro PG
-
Heard from my friend about Lance Ware. Probably late to that party but didnt get any negative info about him either. He is a post player and the video makes that apparent. Plenty of 6’7 types have success in the post with the right frame and he looks to have that frame to play the 4
