Kentucky getting involved with Mading. He probably sucks tho.
whispers I don’t think he is a great fit for Bill in all seriousness. I also don’t think Kentucky would really press him for a commit but we will see.

I go back to my prior point - If we seem to know that shoe companies pay kids (the shoeco game), that it’s such common knowledge, then Bill Self knows. Bill Self has clearly and distinctly denied any such knowledge. That would make Bill Self a liar of a quite high degree. Add to it the “integrity” comment by Self and then the “honesty and integrity” comment by Long. It is just reprehensible.
To play devil’s advocate, we most certainly live in an “ends justify the means” world, and “today’s pirates are tomorrow’s admirals”
Also, we complained bitterly about Self’s unwillingness to adapt earlier in his time at Kansas, playing guys that we didnt think had the ceiling to deserve PT. If I recall, this might roughly correspond to his time playing the likes of Jamari, Landen, Morningstar etc major minutes. Well, he complained about the system, complained about east coast media bias, and then… He adapted! Just had to “get a few dudes”.
-
@approxinfinity Speaking of adapting he talked about playing a zone to stay big this year. Billy Self playin’ zone. What a time to be alive.
-
He’s more or less a 6’10 guard. I think your right about fit.

Are things gonna get this bad?

Half wondering if this is related to Gethro as well.

This Bad ? - - so what’s the story with this kid?
-
So here is what I would like to see if possible for commits NOW. lol
So if we could get these four all things considered - -I’d be good. - -Land KK Robinson , - - Foster , - - Mading - -& Brown/Ferguson stated that KU had told him if we got Todd & Mading - -probably wouldn’t be good to come - - - Well Todd isn’t Coming Sooooo , he re-classifies like he says is probably going to happen , then welcome aboard - -land those 4 we bwe good - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wide net. Potential walk on.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Any idea on when Gethro will announce? It looks like he has taken 4 OV and doesn’t have anymore scheduled…
I know we are not going to get any “elite” players this year, but it would be nice to get someone on board and try to get some sort of momentum.
-
@Woodrow pretty sure he’ll sign in the fall. But as far as specific timing, he hasn’t announced anything yet and nobody in KU’s orbit really knows either as far as I can tell.
-
Scott Chasen wrote an article about Aiden Shaw’s visit but it’s VIP. Can anyone tell us what it’s about please
-
90% sure Bryce Thompson has eliminated Kansas. I think OU with UNC on the outskirts. I’ll keep asking about KU until I know it’s not us. But I the NCAA cloud is doing some bad things to us right now on the trial. Not exactly breaking news, but the consequences become more real for each kid we miss on.
-
This should surprise no one. Cannot blame the kid
-
Maybe a good sign concerning Grant-Foster and KU as Iowa St picked up a Top 150 Small Forward yesterday.
Davion Bradford expectedly picked Kansas St
Oklahoma St recently lost their Top 100 PG who probably has seen all the Cunningham press and bolted

KSU is currently one over now I believe. Hilarious they think they might still get Gethro. Not saying he is 100% coming to KU but if he does go elsewhere I do not see it being KSU when Memphis and Louisville are recruiting him too.
I at least haven’t seen many KSU fans claiming Bradford as a win over KU when KU never offered and the visit felt like keeping the new found good relationship with MOKAN going.
KSU has a great class for them. #11 in the country on 247 but that won’t hold up. Still a very solid class, the after effects of a good tournament run followed by sharing the league title.
Looks like ISU is still recruiting in the 150-300 range. I can’t really doubt them though with how good Haliburton and Conditt look. Their evaluation game seems strong. Wouldn’t surprise me if they took him knowing Grant-Foster is leaning heavily towards KU. He could easily be KU’s first commit in this class.
-
Gethro taking another unofficial to Louisville. Second in two weeks. Seems like they lead for him.
-
Aspire is in Louisville tbf. They could land him but there isn’t a ton of smoke currently. It would be a rough miss after not offering Bradford.
-
KU, KSU, Louisville and Tech looking like his final four.
-
Well Crap , been ALOT of smoke going on - - looks more justified now - - smoke saying Cunningham IS NOT going to land at Okie St - -looks like might have some substance.
Evan Daniels just put in a CB for Cunningham to who else - - -Kentucky. - they are going to be just insanely loaded - - AGAIN , if this turns out - BUT the last couple of years - - Duke has been pretty loaded , didn’t win any Championship - that’s why they play the games -still fricken crazy. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Okie Lite is out on Cade. UK or UNC, but likely UK. Bryce is OU or UNC, likely OU.

I think there’s a few bodies that will move on from Weber’s team as always. Nobody wants to listen to that pip-squeak
ISU has to be done at wing since they have a sit-out transfer that will likely start next year. I think the Blackwell commitment was foreshadowing of KU’s chances with Grant-Foster.

Wow.
-
Would seem like Lock City for Cunningham to UK after Evan put his pick in.
The have’s and the have-not’s are really starting to show now… KU is trending in the latter
-
@BeddieKU23 And the irony of that as it relates to “Shoe Money” is just maddening.

Welcome to the University of Kansas Mr. Tyon Gant-foster

Good pickup. Will be interesting to see what he can do here

Scotty Barnes lands at Florida St.
Nike controlled this one no matter where he went. Guess they want him in the ACC

Being a FSU football fan (unfortunate these days) there was optimism Ham did a good job with this one. It’s a big time grab for them.

Bossi has a good writeup. Kid’s going to be a player. https://basketballrecruiting.rivals.com/news/kansas-gets-on-the-board-with-tyon-grant-foster

No idea if KU will get involved but Jalen Terry is back on the market after de-committing from Michigan State.

Mercy - -thought he was Oregon bound for sure

Now Ok so next up Gethro - -& KK - -I’d take that ok

I would bet on both committing before the first game of the season. Not saying the picks will be KU just that both are looking like fall signees.

Kk has said all the right things regarding KU lately. Both kids have either foreshadowed a commitment or just playing the game
-
@BeddieKU23 Seems like the Robinson camp isn’t leaking anything. Zero picks on Rivals or 24/7.

Pretty rare. Maybe hasn’t made up his mind yet? He has more visits right? Something to monitor after his other visits.
Given what we are facing on the recruiting trail he’s about as good a prospect as we can land right now. Certainly has the film of a player Self likes to have in the program. Harris & Robinson battling for the PG spot next year would be a bit intriguing and scary.

Gethro is announcing on November 1.

No pick movement yet. Will be telling if there is a big burst soon.
-
Playa and Chasen put in KU picks. Chasen isn’t an insider but he only puts in a pick when he is very confident hence his low number of picks but 95% success rate.

Locked it down on his in-home. Nice pickup.
-
Good news! Gethro has some bounce to him. Will be interesting to see what the new S&C coach can do to him…

He could be an absolute monster by year 3 and likely won’t have to start next year.
-
Self visiting Todd today, likely to get the news in person. I’ll ask my friend about the weather in Sydney.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I wonder why he is even visiting. Everyone knows he is going to Michigan. ( at least committing there)
-
@Woodrow no downside. Best case you change his mind last minute and worst case he just flat tells you he’s committing to Michigan. And it’s 75 and sunny in the triangle today so he can stop and enjoy the weather!

Honestly what else would Self being doing today? Just playing the game here.
