2020 Recruiting



  • 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

    Hmm sounds like the word is out



  • If we land a recruit in this crapola that’s like winning the lottery



  • 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

    that would be fun - - - -never have won any kind of lottery - -no seriously my friend, I hear you 100 % - -but at least might be some hope. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • With Gethro visiting here what? - - last weekend? - - -and now we getting CB picks from BOTH Slater & Meyer - -you might be right something might have leaked.

    Has offers from Wichita St - - -TCU - - Tulsa - - Tex A & m - - -SMU - - - St Louis - - Rutgers - - -Texas Tech - - -Houston - - -Col St - - -VCU - - -UNLV - - -New Mexico - - -Memphis - - -Conn- - -& Louisiana Tech - - All Schools that offered - -we shall see



  • 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.



  • For what it’s worth, the Badgers have picked up 4 4 star players in the last two weeks. That’s quite a haul for them. Two are 2020 recruits and two are 2o21 recruits.



  • @wissox 🧂 in a wound. Thanks!



  • Dylan Prezkop (no clue who he is) put his CB pick for Gethro to KU this morning. Thats 4 now. Is he coming for Late Night?



  • @dylans I’m recruiting Bucketeers to attain to duel fanship!



  • @wissox no



  • rockchalkwyo said:

    Unlikely. He already took an official visit to KU that went great. So if he comes to late night it would be unofficial, he’d have to pay.

    @wissox Now we have to hope Kentucky doesn’t want any of them.



  • wissox said:

    I believe Stugotz said,”Wisconsin exists to be 4th in the poll and win nothing!”

    I’ve got enough heartache. KU wins one every 20 years, the Royals every 40, the Chiefs every 50. That’s a lot of waiting already.



  • @BShark , @FarmerJayhawk , Scott Chasen wrote an article about Gethro on 247, but it’s VIP. Can either of you tell us what it’s about? Please and thank you



  • @rockchalkwyo Just a puff piece. He will decide soon though.



  • @dylans 4th in the poll and win nothing summarizes it well! Of course referees made sure there’d be no championship in 2015.

    @Crimsonorblue22 I knew you’d decline the dual fanship thing!



  • I cant wait for the season to start. Anyone else excited??



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Definitely. Might have to mute some TV broadcasts but I’m ready to watch KU.

    I actually already have ESPN+ due to college football season so I’m ready to go on that too.



  • @wissox 🤣🥰



  • @BShark sooo, this might be a dumb question, but, do you think some of our espn+ bb games will be changed to nationally broadcasted games? I’m surprised how few of our fb games, so far, have been on espn+.



  • ESPN must be paying a bunch to get 10 of the KU b-ball games as an exclusive broadcast on ESPN+. They really want ESPN+ to work so they can skip the big cable/satellite companies and just get straight into our wallets. I wish it was just another platform instead of the forced platform.





  • 5* Isaiah Todd is visiting this weekend

    Alright alright alright! Even though I’m pretty sure we don’t have a shot and he’s going overseas, he’s so perfect for next year’s squad that I can’t quit it

    I would be pretty amazing to drop the bag required to get him while under the scrutiny of the NCAA.



  • Read this morning that Fisher off 247 put in his pick ( CB ) - to KU for Gerthro Muscadin last Night - - still giving 100% of the predictions - I mean there have been only 5 CB’S but all have been for us - -so good thing I guess.

    These for the most part I think are going to be the types we get for a bit - -not necessarily a bad thing , developmental player 4 yr player but with this dam NCAA thing going on -he just might develop into a solid 4 year kid that can help us in a couple of years - -think he needs to hit the weight room though pretty lean - -I think said 6’10 & 215 - - -sounds like an old Rick Suttle type of frame - - - you all remember him? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • @jayballer73 I just read an article off of Rivals, and Cory Evans still thinks he will land at Texas Tech (which he’ll visit this weekend). I remember last year though, Mr. Corey Evans was wrong on almost everything pertaining to KU (Hurt, Stanley, Precious, and I want to say one more).

    Good Point. Corey swings and misses a ton in regards to KU recruiting

    ya , I hear what your saying - -who knows for sure , it’s one big crap shoot. -Thing is though seems like for the most part or so it seems - - just like with this kid - - - Jerry Meyer and Andrew Slater have both thrown CB"S for KU - -Meyer is usually pretty spot on - -then this Morning although not as much as Meyer and Slater - - Fisher threw in to KU also. - The real tale tale to me is what Evan Daniels says - -I like him a lot he usually pretty accurate - haven’t seen him make any prediction

    Like I said when your dealing with 17-18 yr olds - -who the hell knows lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Almost like Corey doesn’t know anything. There is a reason Slater mocks him and zags. Slater is one of the ku oicks for Muscadin so I feel pretty good about it.



  • Bit from Bossi on Thompson, “ Thompson is planning to be at Kansas this weekend and the Jayhawks had looked to be emerging as a pretty clear leader. However, he’ll have to ask some tough questions about the Jayhawks’ status with the NCAA. If not Kansas, his in-state finalists could be in best position to capitalize.“

    I’m pretty sure bill self will not lie to the kid and tell him like it is
