2020 Recruiting



  • Didn’t make Andre Curbelo’s final 5. Not sure how much of a target he was.



  • Hopefully the staff doesn’t slow play KK Robinson for Thompson. They need a PG in this class for sure.

    They’d take both in a heartbeat. Thompson could easily play off the ball.

    And unless Thompson is coming with whatever is looming for certainty Robinson is surely a prospect you won’t get away stringing along

    He almost certainly wasn’t going there, but that 100% eliminates UNC for Todd

    watch watch - -shouldn’t come as a big surprise now - - Todd/Kentucky



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    Hearing when, not if, for Caleb Love and UNC

    Yeah it’s done. Not sure who the hell KU is getting for this class given the circumstances.

    Overseas feels like the play here, though I could be wrong.



  • Sounds like a few top players in this class will go overseas.



  • @FarmerJayhawk Yeah it’s only a matter of time before he makes it official

    Well, now we know why in full.

    I mentioned this is the other thread, but I am intrigued to see Bill with a full blown bag of rocks.

    I expect Mitch, Harris and Braun on the roster next year. After that I don’t even know. Garrett, Dave and Enaruna if we are lucky.



  • @BShark isn’t Mitch a senior this year?



  • @dylans 🔴 👕

    We will need him way more next season.

    Hmmm. Bill has to be here to do that.

    Odds are high, since he is still currently here after the last offseason. Unless the NCAA literally bans him which would be fought.

    i’ll ask this again now the Lack of coaching Control or what ever the F it is - - this CAN lead to a year suspension - - if that indeed happens - - - Does Bill walk Away?



  • A couple good links to read -

    http://www.ncaa.org/enforcement/enforcement-process-charging

    Second link is one from a while back that referenced KU’s odd approach when a lot of this surfaced, again could play into why we’re getting hammered.

  • Caleb Love got 6 CB picks to UNC today. No surprise



  • Love cancelled his trip to KU and has cut his list to Mizzou and UNC . No surprise here.



  • Despite everything going on Gethro Muscadin took his visit to KU over the weekend.

    Probably a player we can still get.

    one of many cancellations to come

    don’t get the VIP but hope he had some positive things to say - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73

    He did. Here a few snips. Despite the positive things I do not expect he signs here

    He met the players and learned about their personalities, and he even got a little starstruck when hanging around KU basketball’s coach. “I was sitting with him and I was like, ‘Man, I’m really sitting with Bill Self, a Hall of Fame coach,’” “That’s something huge for me.”

    They really know my game. They really know my strengths. That’s something that means a lot to me that they’ve been watching me.” Is that all?

    “They have pretty much everything that I’ve been looking for in a college,” Muscadin said of KU. “That’s pretty incredible. That’s something that means a lot for me



  • @BShark

    We could do a lot worse. Not going to complain since we know we’ll need bodies for whatever exodus happens after the season. I’m not confident despite his positive remarks we land him but who knows. This cycle has lost my interest



  • @BeddieKU23 understandable. At the end of the day Bill will get some guys.



  • @BShark

    Agreed, they will come. Was more or less thinking nothing until the spring though and with Gethro 3 visits in already I’d imagine he’s signing this fall. A lot of uncertainty for kids to sign into at the moment.



  • Memphis is the school to watch with Gethro. In other news, UK is out for Isaiah Todd. No spots left there. I think he ends up overseas since his options here are pretty dry for what he’s… ummm… looking for in a school.

    My hope would be that Memphis has better options.

    Helluva place to be in recruiting right now but that’s how it is.

    Dam , Dam , Dam - - man I hate to see a kid that has talent like that go over sea’s - - you would think he surely could find a spot - -once apon a time we were right there with him - -Screw the NCAA - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Riley Gates, a KSU insider, put his CB for Gethro to KU today.

    Edit: What about Karim Mane?

    Looks like KU has a great shot here.

    Edit: What about Karim Mane?

    Not much out there about him right now. Might be a straight to pro candidate.



  • Sounds like Javonte Brown will be a Texas A&M aggie eventually.

    Mane is not expected to go to College

    Gethro at this point would be a very nice addition - - I mean right now that’s probably about as good as it get’s - -he a pretty decent player - -a developmental player- - 3-4 year player right? I’m sure Coach would love to have him

    Here is a question - -IF - - and again I’m saying IF - - IF /Coach /Self does get suspended next year and feeling pretty sure that Coach Townsend ends up getting axed - - -then who Coach’s the team next year?

    Hear me out on this: Larry Brown. Tanned, rested, ready. Can obviously coach, knows the league, loves Kansas. Boom.



  • That would be a thumb to the nose at the NCAA.

    lol- - oh ya that would look - sweet - - nice kick to the nads to the NCAA - see -what got another squeaky clean Coach for a year - - take that lmao



  • I said it before and I will say it again. We need to start recruiting local talent now! There are enough high caliber in state and local kids that are damn good and that are 3 and 4 year players that Bill can work with and develop, because we are not going to get the 5 star or even the 4 star players now

    Honestly, anyone that wants to come at this point as long as they have some ability.



  • In state talent that KU should go hard after now… Ty Berry… 2020… Sunrise Christian Tamar Bates…2021… Piper high school Grady Dick…2022… Wichita Collegiate Mark Williams…2022… Bishop Miege All of these kids are high major D1 ballplayers, that are getting highly recruited, I will hate to see them get out of the state.

    I think we can and should get Grady Dick unless it all goes FUBAR.

    This year feels like a lost cause, I don’t think we could get Ty Berry now.

    Assuming you meant Mark Mitchell I don’t think we can get him. Kentucky, UNC or straight to the pros IMO.

    Name to keep an eye on: https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/latrell-jossell-213166



  • Yeah Mark Mitchell… Sorry



  • Yeah it’s a shame that we might lose Ty Berry to the Big 10 ( Northwestern, Minnesota, Michigan ) this kid can really play , he will be playing in the league someday, mark my words…



  • alwaysajayhawk said:

    Yeah Mark Mitchell… Sorry

    No big deal, I figured it out.

    If KU does miss on him it won’t be due to a lack of trying. He is a stud and the staff knows it.



  • alwaysajayhawk said:

    I don’t feel as strongly as you but it wouldn’t surprise me if he is better than whoever we end up with. Recruiting is about to enter the stone age.



  • We still have Tre White right 2022? We have a decent foundation to last a few years as long as there’s no transfers



  • rockchalkwyo said:

    Correct. Howard checked in on him just recently. He is still committed and still visiting for late night.

    For next year’s team, player retention is key. We could be looking at a large exodus though.



  • If there is a postseason ban could KU redshirt it’s best players (non-early nba entrants) that year? Just call it a lost cause/development year like the Houston QB this year?
