2020 Recruiting
-
Tre White.
@jayballer73 Will come down to academics with Harris.
-
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’m really glad you’re part of the board. You add a lot to our discussions.
-
I really like Harris. He’s real smooth with the ball, passes beautifully… no look passes … the whole shebang. He can drive to the basket and score, and seems to be able to hit a jumper. What I like best are those quick hands…picking off passes, and making steals and taking them the other way. Hopefully, he can build his body up without losing his quickness. In a couple years, the dude could be really good.
-
@KUSTEVE likewise! This is the best KU board I’ve been a part of. The quality of discourse is terrific.
I like him a lot as well. He’s got a bit of Aaron Miles to his game. He and Mackey are good complements. I very much hope he can get here in December. Sounds like August isn’t happening, but obviously I don’t know his schedule for sure.
-
-
Hopefully Harris can join this year. That would be ideal for the transition from Dotson to whatever options we have to play with.

Sounds like the staff is very high on him.

JT Thor would be a great pick-up, and from there it would seem that we need one or two bigs (who is anyone’s guess, don’t seem to be in the lead for any). We need to sign atleast one long guard too, one that can shoot from anywhere.

This guy is taking a official this weekend. First I have heard of him.
-
@Woodrow niiiiiice. He’s a lot like Oscar Tshiebwe at West Virgina. High motor, shot blocker, athlete.
-
BYU is the rumored leader here, but KU has a shot.

Any idea if he is into the mormon faith?

Muslim, actually. I do think he’s a pretty religious kid.

Just read – not 2020 recruit BUT - -read where Grady Dick is going to take a un-official for late night – - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 "Dick, a 6-foot-5, 170-pound guard in the Class of 2022 from Wichita Collegiate, received a scholarship offer from the Jayhawks this summer and made a name for himself in the recruiting world with a solid summer when he showcased his extreme athleticism.
“This kid is a very skilled prospect who plays with a high motor and is ultra-aggressive on the court,” Kusports.com recruiting insider Matt Scott said.
Dick has teamed with fellow-Class of 2022 prospect Mark Mitchell, of Bishop Miege, on the summer circuit and is considered by many recruiting analysts to be a fast-riser in the class."

If anyone would know about the real targets, it’s Matt Scott.

Saw all the one’s he listed yesterday in his article

Here is a very good article about Gradey Dick. The kid is DYNAMIC …

The pull quote: "Don’t be surprised if Dick eventually emerges as one of the most heavily coveted prospects in the 2022 class when all is said and done."

Rumor is KK Robinson is transferring to Oak Hill to get more blue blood (read: Kansas) attention.

Awesome.
Thoughts on the big visiting in late September?

Good decision. KK on video looks a bit underrated. I would not be upset if Self made him a priority if a few other targets get caught up in swoosh money
-
I liked KK’s tape a lot… Would not be upset.

Honestly don’t know a ton. I saw Sunrise and assumed it was a nominal visit.

@FarmerJayhawk This kid from Aspire https://247sports.com/Player/Gethro-Muscadin-46057375/

Right. He was at Sunrise last year so I assumed KU was window dressing. I’ll poke around and see what I can find.
-
Saw a couple twitter highlights. Looks pretty athletic.
-
I can confirm he does not play the flute, a la the Jethro Tull frontman.

Right the tape looks good and he has size, athleticism and play making ability that seems to indicate he’s better then his current ranking. I wonder if his highlights are not consistent enough or something. Certainly would seem to have the talent of a Top 50 guy

So Mady Sissako will be on Campus this weekend. 6’8 - - 225 pound Center listed Coach Self how football can be a recruiting tool hoping for a good turnout for the game.
Mady said that coming to United States that KU was his dream School. - - Yet doesn’t mean anything special just because it was his dream school , says he wants to go where they want him the most and where he fits in.
Mady is considered an Elite Shot Blocker. - A writer after watching Mady at a recent event - -writer for Cats illustrated which is Kentucky writer said - - - Mady was one of the most dynamic shot blockers he has seen. - -calling them Volleyball spikes – pinning against backboards and such - -Sounds like we could use him for sure - -talked about how he can bully his way to the basket
Ranked # 48 at the present up 31 spots in latest ranking - Already visited BYU - -Colorado - - Michigan State - - UCLA - And plans on working a visit to Memphis

I think Dick would be a huge pick up
. But seriously, looks like a baller. Yet another great in-state player that has grown up watching KU. We have got to sign those kinds of players. I’m still not giving up on Ty Berry.
-
@Marco I haven’t given up on The Berry either, Hopefully we can keep our in- state kids… I m hearing that Michigan likes Berry too now.
-
Have some sneaky feeling we could wrap up his recruitment this weekend. No info, just a hunch with him taking the visit so early. We’ll see
-
Bryce Thompson is cutting his list of schools tonight at 7 per his Twitter.

It would be pretty shocking if KU weren’t on it.

Moses Moody cut his list to 7. USC, Michigan, Ohio St., Oregon, Arkansas, Florida, and KU.

You don’t think KU has a shot with Thompson?

I could be wrong but I don’t think that is what Farmer was saying - -I could be all wrong but I think that is who he is predicting will be some of his final schools - - -cause I knw Bryce is for sure interested in Okie St - -and is interested in KU - -some say that OU is even leading right now - -I think possibly Farmer is saying these will be final 5

Oh, I definitely do! Like @jayballer73 said, it’s just my guess for his list. I know those 5 will be on it, not sure on the other 2. I think KU, UNC, and Okie Lite are the top 3, not sure on the order. Earlier this summer it looked like it would be KU or UNC and he’d commit before school started, but now it looks like he’ll take 5 officials and decide around the early signing period.
-
Just a hunch. Visiting his “dream school” on a football weekend should be a good atmosphere and good visit for him. I don’t know whether they tried to get him to visit later (like for Late Night) or closer to the signing period so I’m just connecting dots that he might be closer to a decision and if the visit goes well might end in our favor.
Having seen the kid play this past year on TV I wouldn’t call him elite at anything. He definitely is in the mold of a Diallo or a Oscar Tschiebwe. He is a bit raw offensively but is active and gets up and down the floor, plays above the rim and can definitely alter and block shots at a very good rate. He’s definitely someone Self likes to have on the roster
-
@FarmerJayhawk Gotcha. I took it as you thought KU was just window dressing.

ya thanks glad I wasn’t wrong lol. – Agree with you I think it’s still gonna be us 3 probably - - really little more worried about Okie St now - I mean not OVERLY worried but still - -also like you said I had been hearing a lot about UNC but yet not as much lately

I was wondering the way they was describing him - -was wonder about the other kid from WV - the shot blocker Konate? - would be nice - -you think he compares to him any at all? - -they talk about how he has a high motor runs all the time curious?

Dam I swear to God - - all the Phog has become is one Giant Cluster F - - - . - -these idiots on threads for the most part all they do is trade insults at one another that has NOTHING to do about the thread - -like one said Oh I’m sorry I thought this thread was on 2020 recruiting - - carry on - -Couldn’t agree more with him - -I mean come on , at one time you could find some helpful insight - - -not any more - - just sad. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
