2020 Recruiting

Woodrow said:
@FarmerJayhawk any word on who the staff is watching this week? I’ve haven’t seen Self and the staffs name mentioned much on Twitter.
Have you heard anything on KU and Nix? Or have they prioritized Thompson more now?
Seems like those are the only 2 top 20 players they have a legit shot at…
Update on Nix. Should officially visit KU in the fall. Date tbd.
I’ll be really interested to see how the staff plans visits to Late Night this year. We have so many overlapping guys since we really only have needs at PG and the 4-5. Do you have two guys like Nix and Thompson visit on the same weekend? Or do you split them apart and tell each they’ll be a starting guard? And that doesn’t even factor in Davis and Love. Suffice to say I really liked the guys we’re prioritizing and it could be a really fun class.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Avoid the death penalty and land 2 out of the 4 you mentioned and KU will be really good again.

Looking at Peach Jam box scores 4 of the 6 Mokan games are up
Dajuan Harris has had these stat lines PTS AST REB STL
4/7/2/2 2-4 shooting
13/10/9/3 5-10 shooting
4/6/2/1 on 1-2 shooting
5/8/4/3 on 2-5 shooting
Definitely seems like a guy that is pass first and really picks his spots to actually shoot. 31 AST vs 10 turnovers.
Mokan won this morning advancing to the semi-finals, that box score isn’t up on their site yet.

This is from Bossi
THE EYE OPENER
DAJUAN HARRIS
Why him?: MoKan Elite has made what is becoming an annual trip to the quarterfinals at the Peach Jam and the jet quick passer and floor general had an awful lot to do with it. He’s as good a passer as there is in the country and he proved to be a legit high major option with his ability to lead, control pace, defend at the point of attack and ultimately lead his team to a win. This guy doesn’t care about stats, he just cares about winning.
Recruitment: Signed with Missouri State in the class of 2019 but has reopened his recruitment and mentioned interest from Missouri and Texas with a Kansas offer.

Don’t talk dirty like that to me, Bossi.

@BShark Gotta sign him. Are you kidding me? A pass-first PG who picks his spots! As good a passer as there is in the country? Sign him now, please.

I’m afraid he doesn’t re-classify - - stays in 2020 and watches his offers blow up like they have talked about. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mokan is in the finals at Peach Jam.

This is from the Arkansas board so tifwiw but they mostly believe KU is the leader for KK Robinson.

Sorry bud - - but who is this KK Robinson?

Final is on ESPNU at 1

I think they’d only take one of Robinson and Davis. Too many midgets running around isn’t good for Bill’s (or anyone’s) defense.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree. Corey Evans posted contradictory info with KK. Honestly, might make me feel even better about our chances LOL.
-
Apparently Mane is eligible for the 2020 draft. Knowing that, I’d stay away.

I don’t think we’re really that involved given we’re after 5-6 other guards right now, depending on whether Harris stays in 2020.

Mokan win 85 to 84 in overtime over teamwhynot

What was the deal there? I didn’t see Harris play at all end game, caught it late at a Mexican restaurant
-
@approxinfinity u mean till end of game? I didn’t see much of him either but I was in and out. Didn’t know til end he was guy in head band. Nothing impressive to me

He reminds me of a point guard who I am not gonna name but @HighEliteMajor remembers super fondly. Feeds the post like a boss.
-
He’s a guy that Bill will play more than fans think he should.
-
Oh hey said PG was at this AAU game interesting
-
@BShark not a fan of him either, off the court stuff for me.
-
He’s probably scouting, huh?
-
@BShark oh I thought he was #5. I was looking for #5 but headband guy wasn’t #5. That’s probably it.

No he was # 13 - - wasn’t really that impressed with him either had a coup[l of senseless turnovers late fouls - -not impressed. - -Not impressed enough to use our 13th Scholi on.
On a side note mercy N - -was huge bif boy what he end up with? - -like 26 and 16 ? - -I know were not but wish we were in harder on Greene
-
Evan CB’d Harris to KU. Lock city
-
@FarmerJayhawk What does that mean?
-
@wissox Evan Daniels. Crystal Ball. Harris to KU basketball.
-
Daniels is rarely wrong because he usually waits until he’s heard the official word going around
-

So it sounds done but still the question of which class right?
-
Harris now shows as a 4 star prospect on 247, 107 overall

Yessir. I believe it’s grade dependent. If he can get all the coursework done and qualify, I think he ends up in 2019.

Would love to see that happen, red-shirt and ready to go next spring

Great news.
Sounds like jayballer is torn on this kid. He’s gonna wait and watch his offers blow up but also not worthy of the 13th scholarship. Really makes you think.

Wow got the KU bump before even committing smh
-
I guess I’ll trust u guys, seems like he was a back up and didn’t play much??

He played a lot look at the box scores. Great glue guard think Brady or Russ.
-
Harris can really play. He’ll be a giant pain in the ass for everyone in the league. While we may never wow you with athleticism, he just is good at basketball.
-
How confident are we that he reclassifies?
-
It’s grade and course completing dependent so nobody really knows for sure.
-
Reclassifying to redshirt is kinda funny. Hurry up and wait.
-

If he reclasses, redshirt? Or legit competition for McBride as the backup PG?
In my mind, he’s much more of a pure PG than McBride who I feel is more like a short Combo guard.
-
@Kcmatt7 I think redshirt. He’s not a guy that’s going to leave early so having an experienced PG on the roster when OAD goes away will be a big advantage.

Better to have him in Lawrence than Wichita.

Oh how we question lol. - - not really torn actually - -just me - -I would as soon leave it open - he just doesn’t wow me looks very ordinary - had some critical to’s late in the game - - forced passes - -yes I watched the entire game - -got beat on the drive while playing defense more then once resulting in a foul. - -just wasn’t really overwhelmed by his play - -never really heard the commentators talking about him much - -he did play a lot - -so I’m not gonna jump off a cliff cause we take him
As far as him waiting for his Scholi’s to blow up - -that’s coming from what others have said possible - - I just happen to agree I think IF he is all that like some are trying to make him out - -then ya like they say he will more likely then he will stay in 2020 -and get numerous offers.
You can throw all the shade ya want - - I know it sounds like a forked tongue - -I won’t be mad if he comes - -I won’t lose sleep if he doesn’t pretty much when it’s all said and done. - -The main thing I don’t want to see is us getting to a point where just offer to have that body. - -He redshirts? - -then possibly he can help - -as far as him challenging Mcbride this year - for back up point - - - -I don’t think Issac would have much to worry about. - - McBride is quicker - - Better shooter and good defensively - - There ya have it - -if he comes – WELCOME ABOARD - -make me a believer - - I mean he from Missouri right? - - Soooo SHOW ME - - lmao - -just having some fun guys don’t get your skivvies twisted. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
As a little side not to this guys - - - - just saw where Jerry Meyer and Cris Fisher both picked Harris to KU - -to go along with Evan - - CB said been 4 predictions - - haven’t seen the other - -but the CB has KU at 100 % - -so had to be a KU pick also - - there you go – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Okay, it is now time for Coach Marco to interpret and read between the lines, and it is as I predicted (I am also a crystal ball reader when it comes to moves that we will make after making moves… Lol). We already have McBride, and if we sign Harris - regardless of whether he is in 2019 or 2020 - we will not sign Nix or any other five star PG and I am fine with that - feed the horses! Now, if we are no longer targeting point guards who then besides Thompson and Todd should we be?
-
KU leads for Caleb Love.
