2020 Recruiting

    Javonte Brown Ferguson is down to Texas A&M, UCONN, and KU. Will probably commit in the next couple of weeks. Not sure how much KU is in this one, but just passing it on.

    Yes he likely to go to a&m



  • @BShark From what I have seen today on Twitter it seems like UCONN is going to be the pick for him. One thing is for sure it is not going to be KU it appears.

    Definitely not KU. With Dave being back, Silvio possibly being back, Mitch possibly taking a RS, landing Gethro and Enaruna/Wilson able to play the 4 I don’t think KU will add another big.

    I’ve emptied the bag my man!

    To @BShark’s point, the two biggest “recruits” left on the board are Silvio and Ochai. Harris, Thompson, Ochai, Silvio, McCormack is easily another top 5 team. Even if Silvio goes, we could go small (even though Enaruna is taller than Silvio?) with Wilson or Enaruna at the 4. Could also go the grad transfer route but that seems less likely.

    Even if Silvio came back I like playing predominantly “small” with the roster and rotating Silvio and Dave at the 5. Makes it easier to find minutes for Garrett, Enaruna and Wilson. Lets you play your best guys more.

    Wow, if true, big news to say the least. Thompson is an absolute assassin.



  • Zach Berry just put in a KU pick for Bryce on Rivals. Was he planning on announcing this week or just naming his top 3?

    Also KK has a pick for Arkansas, again on Rivals

    Do you have the ink





  • well saw where Meyer put a CB in for KK to Arkansas - - no real surprise - - -at least to me , I’ve thought all along Arkansas would be the one we would have our hands full on this with.

    Not really sure if the little smoke we are now getting with Bryce would have anything to do with that or not.



  • Bossi just put in a pick for KU. @FarmerJayhawk is right again 🔒 🔒. Knock on wood

    Interesting they already signed a Top 100 PG in Davonte Davis.

    Looks like Musselman (with shoeco help) is making a big move to lock down the top 4 in state kids.

    they have ? – thanks for that info - - -I didn’t realize that. - -hmmmm, makes me think maybe even more that KK has found out or possibly heard something come out about Bryce. - -little confused though , Bryce is a combo isn’t he? - - KK is a PG so if I’m not mistaking on the position and that is the case Bryce decision shouldn’t effect KK decision - I got to be wrong - - old age lol



  • just read where that guy Dylan Prezkop just put his CB for KK to Arkansas also - - so Bshark looks like you right - - -Shooooooooooes



  • So Javonte Brown has us in his final 3 and gonna make his decision soon. - -Now BShark says 100 % that he is headed to Texas A&M - - and I’m not saying that your wrong at all believe that , very well could be - -but said that with Gethro coming here would be a reason for him not wanting to come , just can’t see that as a reason for him not to.

    Brown/F - -had said that Coach Self and staff had told him that IF we got commits from Gethro AND Todd then it probably wouldn’t want to come or might not be the best for him to come somewhere along those lines. – Well Todd didn’t commit, they didn’t say anything about if Silvio stuck around he shouldn’t come

    Again I’m not saying he won’t go to A&M -you know more then I do I’m sure - -just guessing on my part - -just saying that I just don’t think cause Gethro is here that would be enough to keep him away - -personally between the two Gethro and Javonte I’d prefer Javonte - but would be ideal for both - -just random thoughts. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    It’s fine we are getting the top target.



  • KK and Bryce are mutually exclusive.



  • The thing about Javonte is next years roster doesn’t need another big at all, it needs more actual ball handling capable guards.

    5s: Dave, hopefully Silvio, Gethro

    Undersized 5s: Mitch (assuming he takes a RS this year)

    4s: Enaruna, Wilson

    That’s 6 deep in the post already (which means Gethro probably RS).



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    KK and Bryce are mutually exclusive.

    I figured this was the case. We NEED another ball handling guard but I don’t see getting two high level players at that spot.

    Best case scenario is now…

    1: Harris

    1/2/3: Bryce, Garrett

    2/3: Ochai, Braun, Tyon

    Pretty versatile.



  • Need some help guys just read off a post and I hadn’t seen it anywhere else - -so wondering if anyone else HAD seen it. - -another poster off the Phog like 12 hours ago said that Corey Evans also has now projected that Bryce would commit to KU ? - -has anyone here seen that? - -If true that means Bossi/Slater/Evans have all now said Bryce to KU - -would be huge to see Evan predict KU - - anybody seen anything with Corey – rock chalk all day long baby



  • https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2020/bryce-thompson-200857

    Bossi and Corey Evans both picked KU last night



  • FarmerJayhawk said:

    They have to be considering an Arkansas insider just put a KU pick in for Bryce

    thank you - – hadn’t seen it – that’s encouraging - -now we just need to get Evan - -I usually count on Evan seems like he is usually pretty spot on



  • Ryan seems to think Javonte is headed to U Conn - - interesting. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • That is definitely the current smoke. I would expect a flood of UConn picks in the CB soon.



  • What a turn of events we might be witnessing with Bryce. Felt dead in the water for months here. Would say a lot to land a talent like him in the mess going on

    boy isn’t that the truth.- - - like you say for the mess we are in - -to even think IF he does commit – if we get no more figure with him & Foster & Gethro - -isn’t THAT BAD all things considered - -with Bryce obviously the cream . - Not trying to get my hope all worked up yet but things possibly starting to look better for him. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • KK had himself a MAN’S game the other night on the 16th of October - - he almost had himself a quadruple double against Bluefield College in Saltville in a exhibition - -he went off for : 18 points - - -12 rebounds - - - 9 assists - - & 8 steals - -THAT is a night - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    No doubt about that. If we can land him to go along with our other two recruits I would call that (while also keeping this year’s class in mind) a freaking grand slam!



  • BeddieKU23 said:

    Same. I quit asking about Bryce a couple months ago once I heard he was going to stay home and Cade/Todd would end up at Okie Lite. Once the ground started shifting under those two I just figured we wouldn’t be the beneficiary of any of it. But alas, we’re probably getting Bryce.

    Though I’ll eat some crow. UK was taking the first of Askew and Cade. Sounds like Okie Lite is the probably destination for him now. RJ Davis kind of took the spot at UNC but we’ll see I suppose. I think it’s either OSU or UK.



  • Snoop apparently didn’t bother the Thompson family…

    I’d imagine landing Bryce would send a message to the rest of the College Basketball World that Bill isn’t leaving.



  • Well just doing some random thinking. - -I know that’ usually scary for me lol. Anyways got to thinking read where Boynton was in to see Bryce yesterday & Shaka was into see Bryce too.

    Got me to wondering trying to fit this puzzle - -the pieces together , with the little smoke and a few CB’S that we have picked up for Bryce recently and then these Coach’s coming in to see him yesterday - -you don’t suppose do you that there might be a possibility that he was bringing these Coach’s in to tell them about his commitment and thanking them for his recruitment? - - I know Shaka I don’t think was really a serious contender was but know Okie St was in there at least at one time. - With him taking his last visit and such and making the statement that after his last visit he would get together with his parents and talk about things?

    Could be his decision is coming really soon & he notifying Coach’s. I was curious what the talk was on the North Carolina board and read where I guess there was some kind of insider that said that the longer this went on he thought helped KU more - - Plus people saying the Davis commit hurt their chances with Bryce.

    Almost comical reading their comments about how dirty KU was and couldn’t figure out why ANY parent would want their kid to come play at such a dirty program. - - - Seriously - - Really this coming out of the mouths from all the crap they had going on? - Talking about how Bill Self has made a mockery of the game since he has been at KU - - lmao.

    Talk about how they had thought Oklahoma was a figure but heard that Oklahoma had made a last ditch effort with Bryce having the Thunder practice on their floor when Bryce took the official visit and then followed him home to visit with him. - -UNC talking said that since Bryce hadn’t committed to them yet they felt like their chances were not so good - -I really haven’t hear much about UNC and Bryce lately I think their cooked - - it’s OU & KU I like our chances.

    It’s definitely a 2 horse race between Kansas and Oaklahoma



  • Roy is in to visit Thompson today

  • Self on the recruiting effect of the NCAA news: “Recruiting is hard regardless. When you’re recruiting at an elite level, you’ve got obstacles every year. … It’s something we certainly explain out and are very transparent with what’s going on. … I would say it has definitely had an impact.”

    Self says he also thinks KU could have one of the better early signing periods the school has had “in a long time.”

    That last quote caught my attention…

  • I’m still wondering if Bryce is not calling the Coach’s in and making them aware of his decision – Roy into see him today? - -visits complete - - have a feeling decision coming really soon. - - Right now hearing KU leading - - ( Barely ) - - - Oklahoma RIGHT THERE - -and Okla State close behind Oklahoma - - UNC not much of a factor so I’ve read since their commit of the Davis kid -the fans think they are out. - - let’s do this - -Come on Bryce , make us proud. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

  • Corey Evans had his Wednesday mailbag today and in it he said he thinks a commitment from Bryce is coming in the next couple of week. Said as of now he is “leaning” towards to Kansas.



  • Coach Self made the statement that this recruiting class could be one of the best he has had for awhile.

    There is wording here that makes me wonder other then Bryce. - -Could be that there is STILL another. - -I know there had been discussion , among fans can’t remember if it was from here or another site, where fans posted that this might be a year of surprise - - - maybe a recruit we really hadn’t heard hardly anything about , saying that brings me to this.

    Yes I feel a lot of us are starting to feel better with Bryce , but I too have felt we very well could still have another. - -We all know there has been talk about Mitch Red-shirting for the Reasons of needing him worse NEXT year more then this - -up front will be thinner.

    All of the above brings me to this possibly. - - -We just offered Frank Anselem a 6’10 from Prolific Prep California - -Frank is in the Class of 2021 but like Javonte has the option of re-classifying to 2020 and is expected to do so he says. - - -So Frank stated about KU : - -

    KU is a great School with lots of History and tradition , They are one of the most successful Colleges in America in both Academics & Basketball - - The fans are lit - - - It’s Great. - - I can play the Four or Five , KU runs a lot of Ball screens , so I think I’ll fit perfectly. - - Makes me wonder is Frank a surprise? - -with our thinner front Court next year he might be talking about? - -ranked currently # 60 - -Other Schools interested in him -Oregon - - just offered - – also Arizona - - Arizona State - - USC - -yet you go to 247 and it Shows LSU with 2 CB’S - - - -but anyways - what ya think? - - Maybe another commit? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
