2020 Recruiting

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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?



  • Howard into see this kid today (actually his mom) https://247sports.com/Player/Tyon-Grant-Foster-46093992/



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    If you listen carefully you can hear the pick axes.



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    And THIS is what we very well could see the likes of for this year AND next more likely then not



  • He looks better than I thought



  • Oh wow sign him up now. He is well worth a scholarship



  • I think if the pipeline dries up its going to hurt a lot more in terms of bigs than wings. This kid looks good.



  • Well from my expertise eyes lol, 1st impressions , could we possibly be able to bag a sleeper?

    Watching looks like he is pretty complete player. Ya it’s a high-lite reel but still can’t hide the talent.

    Ew - - he got range - -he does have range , pretty smooth - - - - good handles - - - - - Likes to go to the rim also - - - -finishes when it presents it’self - - -really nice size for the position - - - -and looks fairly quick , not exceptional but good enough.

    Like has been said we could for sure offer don’t think it would be a waste - and again the position that it looks like we are in now and for awhile - - ya we need to offer.

    Even with this Juco though even kids like this want that opportunity to play in the National title game - -or at least the possibility So with him only having two years to do so - - would he come with the possibility of a ban next season? - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Bill Self is a great evaluator of talent and is going back to WORK because he has to dig. Like I said before I’m oddly excited by this.



  • @BShark you are odd!🤣😂



  • @BShark

    Not a bad thing to have to really dig down and evaluate talent. This latest kid is a good example and he comes from a high level juco program

    This kid and Muscadin would be A+ additions given the circumstances.



  • @rockchalkwyo looks like a young paul pierce to me.



  • http://njcaa.org/sports/mbkb/2018-19/div1/players/tyongrantfosterlyx5

    Here are his stats. Doesn’t look like his ppg is that high until you scroll down and see he averaged a little over 7 mpg with a points per 40 minutes is 43. As long as I’m reading that correctly



  • Self: “To be honest with you, I’ve been concerned about recruiting challenges happening for the last 27 years I’ve been a head coach. Every place has its own challenges. Now this gives us some unique challenges that also we can somehow look at them as opportunities, too. Sure, that’s always going to be an issue. But in the past, when you’ve gone against Kentucky and Carolina and Duke and Michigan State or UCLA or whoever to get the players you’re recruiting, they’re all challenges. Certainly we’ve got our hands full with this, but we’ll end up, I think, having a very good recruiting class.”



  • @rockchalkwyo I wonder if he was injured? 5 starts at the juco level and worth a scholarship offer? Yikes



  • @dylans ISU poking around too. From what I can tell he can hoop, but he can’t shoot. Perfect for Bill.



  • @BShark Garrett 2.0?

    lol, who can’t shoot ? - -the video I was watching looked lie he was doing a pretty decent job to me - -and I’m referring to his J - -not layups or flushes = = =He by far is No Marcus G. - - this kid got some range , and at times looked like even deep range -and they were looking pretty smooth/pure - -not like a prayer where you fire up as missile and it clangs around off the rim 5-6 tomes bounces up 3 ft and falls back through - - I didn’t see any prayers in his shot- I think he would be a nice addition if we could land him. - - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY



  • Slater and Meyer both picked gethro for KU today

  • rockchalkwyo said:

    Oh Dam - - surely not – could we POSSIBLY be in the hunt for a recruit anyways with all this? - - - -He would be a decent land considering everything going on - -good 3-4 year player - -hopefully we can work with develop - -he has some game - -but can for sure get better - -let’s hope maybe he might land. - -ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABU



  • BeddieKU23 said:

  • I’d take Muscadin in a second. Athletic.

    Definitely a project but some skills to work with. The new age big man that can stretch it.



  • Adam Miller released his final 6.

    KU on the list probably out of respect for Howard… Can’t think of any other reason. @wissox is that right?

    Should be Illinois bound

    It’s definitely looking like hes Illinois bound



  • @BeddieKU23 My people tell me he’s going to Zona, sorry to say. But his mom doesn’t work with me anymore so she’s not the source.
