    So he is announcing and knows where he is going but is still taking a couple visits. Hopefully thanks for recruiting me courtesy visits. 😀

    ya makes sense huh?- -the kid knows a week in advance where he is going. - - But yet still takes visits? - -makes sense - -if you know your NOT going to that School - -ya – talk about a playa getting played - - NEXT - - or is there a NEXT ? - - Cunningham going to Okie State - - - is NOT GOOD for KU.

    In some regard - -different things - -an accumulation of things I’d say - - I’m starting to see things shift some - -the balance of power becoming more deverisified with us. - -This NCAA thing has just kicked us right in the N - - - in so many ways - - mainly with our recruiting - yet even before this came up , started seeing the other schools in the Conference starting to get some more elite players - - used to be ALL KU- - these past few years - KU has regressed in recruiting - - power spreading out. - - - I think the years of KU dominance is over

    Just multiple things taking place. - -Better Coaching throughout the league - - -KU and this fricken NCAA thing - -The looming NBA rule coming. - - Having Coach’s on the staff that are growing stale - - - is Snacks doing anything worth while - or is he just smoking the shit and getting paid still?

    Were swinging and missing on countless recruits - - why is that? - I think that’s another reason Coach has changed his approach on recruits. - -you can laugh - - doubt whatever - but if you sit back look at the broad picture - -you can see it. - -I think we JUST STRUCK OUT again on another recruit - -Casey left standing at the plate - Makes ZERO sense - -if your still in the hunt, for a recruit who knows where he is going to visit other schools again but yet - no visit here - - not buying this crap about well he knows all he needs about KU - - holy crap as many un-officals he has made to Oklahoma being in state - he for sure knows all he needs to know about them too - -I’ call BS on that theory - again - - -NEXT.

    I think we’ve done fine in recruiting up until the NCAA garbage started. The 2018 class was legit: McCormack, Silvio (until he reclassified), Grimes, Dotson. That’s an elite group. The 2017 group was solid, just Billy didn’t pan out. 2016 group had Josh, Doke, and Lightfoot. Another really good group. We’ll get back to our winning ways on the trail once this blows over.



  • So far no change in picks on either rivals or 247 for us to be worried. There was a KU pick last night on rivals for what it’s worth.

    Opinion: He does live in Oklahoma so it’s not surprising or concerning that he’s visiting OU and OSU. How many times did Gethro visit Louisville and we still snagged him? Also, he can’t go to New York and watch KU tonight for an unofficial visit.

    We are up to 80%



  • Instead of Bryce Thompson Visiting Norman they are gonna do a in house visit instead



  • Don’t wanna see empty gym. Jk



  • Well we picked up 3 CB’S today for Bryce - - 80 % KU - - 20 % OU - -we wee at 71-29 - - must get 3 % for a vote - -makes sense - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY



  • Cade Cunningham just popped for Okie St



  • Ku is up 82% for Bryce Thompson

  • Curious . - -Am I the only one with the way things re , is there anyone else that is feeling un-comfortable/queasy - -even with reading and seeing al the so call experts picks and articles about how they feel about Bryce committing to KU - -we lead huge with the CB , so why don’t I feel that confident about Bryce? - feel about as nervous as I ever have.

    Is there anyone else that kinda feels the same ?Not very confident - -even though -the so called experts off Rivals and 247 show us solid for him? - -Cunningham committing to OSU the night before Bryce visits just is not a good read for me - - - -Bryce tweeting out - -this changes things - & them being buds - - now that Cunningham has committed to OSU - -Bryce coming in tonight, I could see OSU & Cunningham trying to just hit it out of the pak tonight - - Cunningham really working him and getting him to come play with him - - stay in his home state - -not sure about you -but I’m not THAT CONFIDENT - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    The Cunningham committed to osu has no Effect on Bryce his is his own man



  • @jayballer73

    there shouldn’t be much confidence until he announces and signs. However I do think he’s made his choice already and this is him enjoying the process for one more week. If he picks KU its great. If he doesn’t, well we won’t be surprised given the mud we are in. I know I’m numb to losing recruits like this at this point.

    only ONE teeny weeny little itsy bitsy problem with that logic - -him and Cunningham are really good friends - -has a huge effect - - -or very easily can have. - -He goes to Okie State tonight Cunninham and him hanging out during his visit - -he be ALL up in his ear talking all smack talking about how and what they could do as a pair there - -if he would go there Okie State have an awesome recruiting class – they got commit for another top 30 player I believe read it today just can’t remember his name- -

    that makes two of us. - - All I can think about is a previous recruitment and we looked rock solid. - - Announcement day rolls around announcing on the TV. - - that day Ayton announces ARIZONA for craps sake. - -they wasn’t even considered a contender – we were a 100 % CB - -now we all know what and how that came about - - BUT still makes me leary and uneasy when it’s like this anymore. - -just can’t put a lot of faith in any CB or even experts a lot of times. - -like you say come next Tuesday and he announces with us - - -GREAT until then - - very un-easy



  • @jayballer73

    We’ve seen a lot of recruitments we thought we were in the drivers seat or had the momentum turn on us. This one doesn’t seem to be any different although I’m hoping my confidence in a few people in this board and the other have the right information. I think Bryce knew Cade was going to Ok Lite before it went down. I also think UNC moved to get Johnson knowing they weren’t his choice either. I think KU has always led despite all that has happened. Hope I’m right come next week.

  • Going to be interesting to see if we see any kind of movement - -changing of predictions from the so called experts after Bryce’s visit last night to Okie State. - -Guess they had the students all chanting his name last night at the game - - - So far haven’t seen any change yet - -see how it goes tomorrow and over the weekend



  • @jayballer73 I’m sure it wasn’t that impressive for him to watch a 5 point win over Oral Roberts with a crowd of 7,319 (about half of full capacity). Relax buddy

    oh mercy , I hadn’t seen anything on that - -really hadn’t looked to hard. - -But ya - -that’s a sorry crowd and to win by 5 ? wow



  • I watched the end of it.



  • OU insider with his insite on Bryce

    I’m leaning OU and it’s not a “homer” pick. Long ways to go until Tuesday and lots can happen between now and then. I have spoken to several people that feel strongly about OU. Another that said he would pick OU and gave reasons why, but prefaced it by saying it’s close and could change a lot

    I wanna believe anything AOU insider says



  • I don’t know STILL no kind of any movement towards OU in any change of CB’S or rivals - you would think that these so Called experts that this is all they do - -interview follow and what have ya with these guys - -you would think they had SOME KIND of inkling as to what the kid was going to do



  • @jayballer73 “Words are wind.” Game of Thrones quote of the day. We shall see what actually happens soon.

    Dam how did I miss that – I was just there – VIP ?



  • Bill self will do A in home visit with Bryce Thompson Sunday before the make his decision Tuesday



  • I kind of take the in home as a bad sign. If it was a fine deal I don’t think Self would be going there…

    Doesn’t make much sense to me.
