2020 Recruiting



  • @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

    me too , that’s what I was saying - -Slater and Meyer both picked KU - - I trust those two - -seems pretty solid most the time

    Thanks for sharing. Self looks like he has a chance to hold the edge or lose it here. Probably the only recruit that matters this weekend in the big picture dont you think?



  • @jayballer73 Probably not many of us here are old enough to remember Rick Suttle. He was my favorite player on those teams.

    I’d add KK Robinson to that list as far as 2020 guys. I’m still hanging onto some hope of Todd but probably just a vice at this point.



  • @FarmerJayhawk Do you think we can get the unranked 5’9’’ 2 guard tho?



  • @BShark as a walk on? Maybe

    Might have to offer the way things are going. 🙄

    Totally forgot about him. Guess I’m just low on hope in this class given what’s happened. Either kid would be great to have. Some are concerned how Bryce will translate to College. KK seems like a really nice grab for running point and being a solid defender off the bat. Hopefully self can work some magic



  • Gethro got another CB pick for KU today. Hopefully Texas Tech bombs this weekend



  • Here’s a quote from Corey Evans, yes I know he’s not that reputable in regards to KU, but… He did ask Karim directly if he plans on skipping college and he said no. Posted 8 days ago on Rivals.

    "There have been rumors that Karim Mane could potentially skip college and jump directly to the NBA next spring due to his age and year of graduation. I asked Mane that directly and he stated that his intentions are to enroll in college next fall.

    Mane has spoken little on his recruitment, but has also not devoted much attention towards it. That is about to change. A final list of schools or visits of any type have not been scheduled, but Mane did tell Rivals.com that Alabama, Georgetown, Illinois, Kansas, Marquette, Maryland, Memphis, Seton Hall, and Wake Forest were among those most frequently in contact with him.

    Expect for Mane to schedule his official visits and for a few others to jump into the mix, but a late signing in April is the likeliest conclusion to sorting out where he will end up next year."

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

    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

    I’m not adverse to jucos if they fill a role.



  • BeddieKU23 said:

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

    Bigtime ready! Unfortunately, with the NCAA dragging its damn feet we’re going to hear alot of “and ofcourse we’ve all heard about the program being investigated by the NCAA” and yada, yada, yada “but they certainly have a great team this year.” I’ll just press pause and fast-forward…



  • @FarmerJayhawk Is he going to leave us dazed and confused?



  • Jt thor will no longer visit. Writing on the wall there





  • BShark said:

    @FarmerJayhawk 👀

    Haven’t heard but my guess is Memphis and Michigan, but he goes overseas.



  • Corey put in a pick for KU so even if KU makes the list assume he’s going elsewhere 😂



  • Surprised Duke didnt buy him.

    That let’s you know how much they are looking for



  • Who are you guys talking about?



  • @rockchalkwyo Isaiah Todd.







  • Woodrow said:

    Visited this weekend

    I believe we’re taking Gethro instead but it’s not 100% locked down yet. Memphis is still trying to get him on campus and probably will.



  • Todd down to KU and Michigan. Announcing Oct 17.



  • @FarmerJayhawk the better hope they get him then. They are in no position to turn kids down in hopes of landing someone else.



  • BShark said:

    wow.

    Overseas tbd later I’m assuming



  • @BShark 3 picks today for Michigan.



  • @rockchalkwyo Yeah seems done.



  • @BShark That’s just great. On rivals KU has 2. I don’t get how the 2 websites have conflicting inside knowledge.



  • BShark said:

    Todd down to KU and Michigan. Announcing Oct 17.

    I’m sure not getting my hopes up - - – haven’t heard a lot of Tod talk around here - -Course that doesn’t necessarily mean a bad thing. - - I remember reading somewhere , they saying this could be a year when we sign guys that we haven’t heard that much about, - - talk about - - maybe this is one of them who knows. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Overseas still firmly in play anyway.



  • BShark said:

    That’s my pick



  • Perfectly okay with Gethro instead of Todd (if that’s how it ends up)

    I understand the difference in their talent level, one is clearly better then the other at this stage but Todd is the type of recruit that got us in the mess we dug ourselves in.

    You wonder if a recruit like Todd ends up at Michigan if they still had Belein? I would think he doesn’t.



  • BShark said:

    @rockchalkwyo Yeah seems done.

    Asked my guy who works around NC schools and knows people who know Todd and he’s thought KU for a long time.



  • @BeddieKU23 Yeah you would think Gethro would be a 4 year guy which we need. And definitely not, Howard is much more willing to recruit than Belein from the looks of it.

    @FarmerJayhawk Don’t do this to me lol.
