2020 Recruiting
-
Brown also described Kansas as his “dream school” Friday and spoke about what he likes about Kansas.
“Pretty much everything,” said Brown. “We went down there for a tournament in second grade and I just loved the place and everything about it.”
“He played there as a second grader and ever since, KU was where he wanted to go,” Brown’s father, Courtney told ZAGSBLOG. In terms of what he’s looking for in a school, Brown said he’s prioritizing “the coaches and style of play”.
Close here Bill.

Any inside info? How good is the guy?
-
Hadn’t really heard of him or seen him play yet @Marco He’s on my radar now. He’s going down to Sunrise so he will have a lot of exposure going forward. He has to have some kind of game to be a top 50 recruit as a JR. Feelings seem mixed on him. Rivals has him as a top 20 guy but 247 bumped him down to 45 in their last update 8 days ago. I don’t think Rivals has updated yet so he may drop there too. One bad tournament will do that and with the new schedule there aren’t nearly as many chances for coaches to evaluate. I trust Bill when it comes to evals for the most part.
Could he commit today I couldn’t tell you. Keep in mind we have Tre White committed at his position and he is likely to reclass and move up into the same class as Brown.
-
This kid can flat out play!
-
Brown looks like a 4 to me. He’s a freak athlete, but he is so raw offensively I couldn’t imagine him playing guard.
Tre White looks like a guard to me though. Much more fluid. Better form on his shot. Better handles.
But we’ll see.

So is my boy Kyree just TOTALLY removed from our recruiting efforts? - -ya I heard that supposedly talk about him going over sea’s but just curious - -I know he is refuting that saying he hadn’t said that.
Has anyone heard if Coach has just backed totally away? - -the kid is an animal - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know I’d love to have him end up at KU, but this overseas smoke concerns me.

actually I hadn’t heard A THING until here - -then I read the article where he said he wasn’t doing that
-
@jayballer73 that article was in response to the rumors he had a deal in place to play in China. So the smoke has been around for several weeks. Whether there is any substance is up in the air. Hopefully Bill has the roster filled out with quality players long before we have to deal with that drama. (I’m a dreamer, I know)

Overrated (clap clap clap lap clap). As a general rule, I’d prefer we didn’t offer guys my height, 5’8 on a good day.
-
-
Yea I’m torn. We’ve seen Frank, Ulis, Harper and Edwards all do well despite their size.
His brother plays D1 ball too, at a small school, but he’s done okay considering he’s probably about the same height.
I admit, it’s pretty hard to get a read on how a short guy’s game will translate to this level.
-
@Kcmatt7 True. Ulis is the closest to Harmon’s size, and is a true PG where Harmon is definitely more of a combo at this point. Frank was too when Townsend saw him first, but was also a freak athlete and a couple inches taller. Edwards is a good comp. Harmon isn’t the shot maker Edwards is, but there’s a time component to that.

How is it that ol sweaty/stumpy keeps getting these kids to commit AFTER the NCAA is all up in their a - - - I would think they gonna be getting hit - - and hit hard BUT yet doesn’t seem t be effecting their recruiting - -hell were not even sure ol stumpy will be keeping his job. - - - Terry committed to them what the hell? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Caleb Love has been really good at Team USA camp and is really coming along as a PG. He’ll cut his list this week and KU is certainly in as good a spot as anyone.
-
Well I’ll discuss this topic a little more , I know I’ve talked about this multiple times so I apologize.
Just read where Kyree is close to making his decision about re-classifying to 2019 OR staying in 2020. I know seems to be a lot of discussion about Kyree jumping and going over sea’s most think it’s a done deal or a lot of people think that way. - -Kyree on the other hand is denying that - I wouldn’t want to bet on it one way or another.
People know how much I like Kyree. - -Kid is a beast - - has no position can play 1-4 probably so they say anyways - massive hops. - -So anyways obviously if KU still has interest then obviously we have to have him stay in the class of 2020 right? - -as we have no more spots available for 2019. - -So let me ask IF he does stay in 2020 - we still recruit him hard right? – or do we just say Blah on the assumption he is a done deal for over sea’s ?
I think you have to attack him hard - -we could for sure use him big time - I would love to have him. - -What would you do/say? - -What you think Coach will do? - - I want him - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Kyree lost me at overseas
-
I don’t think coach is recruiting him much at all, unless he chooses to go to college (2020) and just begs for KU to sign him - which he won’t. We’re going to lose some players after this season, but will still have plenty coming back and our 2020 recruiting class I think has a chance to be pretty bigtime.
-
As of today Kyree is staying in 2020

Well IF we were to still want to recruit him - - we would obviously want him to stay in 2020 - -I would still take him obviously - - I seriously can’t believe that Coach wouldn’t want to recruit him in 2020 - -I think we if he does stay in 2020 were going to still recruit - -again the kid is good - -real good

Daishen Nix’s Guardian said he will take an official visit to KU and UK in the coming weeks. Nix officially visited Maryland last year.
His Guardian is a former assistant to Jerry Tarkanian.
Being touted as the best passer in High School, being compared to Jason Kidd at same stage.
No shoe affiliation. Going to be a weird one or normal, the lines are so blurred no idea what’s normal in bball recruiting anymore

Sounds like he’ll be an early commit wherever he goes.

Got sort of close. OSU, UK, UNC, Washington, Florida.

Looking pretty swoosh there.

Bags already dropped. Now he just gets to pick which one Nike tells him to pick
-
@BShark Washington is no longer a Nike program. They signed a $12 million per year deal with Adidas last year that goes into effect this year.

We made Isaiah Todd’s final 5: KU, UK, Memphis, Michigan, UNC. Kind of suprised there’s no Okie Lite.

Yessir. Todd has played on every shoe circuit over the years so there’s no built in loyalty there. Honestly think KU has the best shot of those 5. UK seems like they’ve moved on after Todd decided to stay in 2020. UNC and Todd aren’t that tight. Michigan seems an odd fit. Can never count out Memphis though.

Always nice to land in a top five - -when in reality it means with this one we finish in the runners up spot - -again , to either Kentucky OR N Carolina be interesting to see which one gets him
-
More news, we made Caleb Love’s top 6: KU, UNC, Louisville, slavers, Zona
-
This smells like KU vs. UNC.
-
Mercy - -what the hell am I missing? - I see yet ANOTHER recruit - -Puff Johnson - -not that we were in on him - -but yet - -here we go another recruit that has Stumpy as one of his top schools. - -What the Hell? - -what exactly is ol sweaty selling these kids anyways?
With the heat that has been on that program and Coach’s yet still seems recruits drawn to him like a Venus fly trap - -I JUST DON’T GET IT Someone please help clarify this for me - -just exactly does he have that is causing this - players still showing major interest when we not even sure what might be given to them as Punishment from this whole NCAA?FBI scandal thing - -doesn’t seem to be making much difference - - scaring recruit away - -so what gives> - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

JT Thor reclassifying to 2020 and committing the 26th. Haven’t heard a firm leader but I’ll ask around.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Kansas/ Kentucky? Or are Maryland, Florida, the field in it? KU lean I hope!

I can’t see Kentucky. They just got a combo forward today and will get another in Lance Ware. Oregon is one to watch. But KU is in the top tier for sure.

Never discount Cal.
-
just checked the UK board - -some were asking if he was on campus this past week. - -Talking about how him and Todd would be a good combo.
A couple saying according to twitter looked like KU was the leader. Talking about looked like he really didn’t have any flaws - - his -jump was shot was pretty good high arch pretty unstoppable - sound ok to me
Says recruitment is wide open - - - -and ya going to Announce the 26th of August - that would be a nice start. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
