 @BShark said in 2021 Recruiting: Guess we are hoping for Tamar Bates. Would be nice if Sallis just popped for UNC soon and the staff could press all-in. At this point I don’t care if Farmer Joe comes in and runs point for us - -this is getting really pathetic. All Kentucky or Duke has to do is say Hi and it’s ballgame - big load of crap

 Well that was fast. Too bad Bill could t get Hickman to pop earlier, but right now if Duke or UK come calling we have zero shot.

 Don’t think KU ever pushed that hard.

 Double hilarious

Sallis is still #1 on their board for sure. Beyond that, I think they go transfer. The lack of grassroots ball this spring and summer unfortunately means a lot of guys the staff would snatch up just didn’t get discovered.

 Yeah no way on Sallis. No aau is a bummer.

 @FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting: Don’t think KU ever pushed that hard. This doesn’t make much sense to me. A local kid who would be a 4 year player is they type of kid they should take in a heartbeat right now. It’s clear they can’t recruit with the big boys so Sallis is a complete pipe dream.

 All of a sudden it seems to be a damn good thing that Jossell is still around.

 Anyone seen Keon Coleman play basketball in person. He’s a guard I keep forgetting about from the 2021 class that’s joining us to play football and basketball

 Pretty good chance he never makes it to KU. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Oh really? Why is that? Academics or being swooped up by a different school for football. I’ve always found it weird how many kids verbal declare but switch to other programs later 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @jayhawks2010 Another school. The word from the start was that there was work to go to make sure he stayed committed to KU.

 @BShark said in 2021 Recruiting: Pretty good chance he never makes it to KU. Color me much more optimistic here. FSU and lil Carolina are lurking but he’s a Jayhawk until he isn’t.

 Davison called us one of his dream schools. Means we’re officially out  
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @BShark thanks for the info! Let’s hope we can keep him. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 I hope so. I think he’s a game changer in football. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @BShark said in 2021 Recruiting: I hope so. I think he’s a game changer in football. I think for optics as much as production. Kids look at the kind of recruits a place gets as a signal that it’s a good place to be. Especially in football. Basketball can be more complicated in that regard since there’s the shoe circuit albatross out there.

 https://247sports.com/player/langston-wilson-46102372/ New JUCO offer Not sure how serious the offer is but I can see why the staff offered. I’d be thrilled if this kid ended up at KU. Elite athlete.

That’s great and all and nothing against this kid , BUT I think we should be going full bore and more trying to scour the Nation for a PG.- -I think at this point we are much better off on frontcourt players then back. - -We NEED a PG - kind like how badly our football program needs a QB/- - I wouldn’t think a player like this would be a priority

Sallis is in his own tier on KU’s board. They’ll run the race with Davison as well. Beyond that, may look at transfers. I expect a lot of runoff waivers.

Yeah that would be a salty rotation. Lots of shooting at the big spots too. The staff is offering every big/forward still available but not too many guards. Makes me think they know something we don’t.

 Not opposed to making a “strong ass offer” for Sallis, if possible.

Makes me think they know something we don’t. There’s a world where Tyon (mistakenly IMO) thinks he’s a OAD, Wilson transfers or Enaruna goes pro, and all the guards come back. Lots of contingency planning.

 Sounds like Bates wants to play early and that was a big factor. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @FarmerJayhawk I do think Jalen transferring after this year is pretty likely if he isn’t in the rotation this season which I don’t see why he would be in the rotation at this point. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @Texas-Hawk-10 we’ll see what happens after this season. There’s a path to PT for him but not one that’s particularly desirable from KU’s angle. Losing both Enaruna and TGF would be a giant kick in the nads.

 @BShark said in 2021 Recruiting: Sounds like Bates wants to play early and that was a big factor. Yep. KU could’ve promised him X minutes but chose not to. Not as big a push as they could’ve made. In KU’s mind he was a 4th or 5th guard type behind Harris, Thompson, Braun, and a lead guard higher on their board.

Agbaji could be back to boot and I know he struggles with handling but he’d still be ahead of Bates.

 Well Bates to Texas, myself probably just as well and no matter what some here may think , Sounds like the kid very well might of been a Cancer. - -I know a lot of this is because of what’s been going on - - - -He makes the comment he wanted to play for a Black Coach & then commits to Texas. - - I’m good with that

 Wilson’s brother has an offer to play fb here though.

 Apparently KJ Adams balled out last night. I think we got a really solid one. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 So, we whiffed on a few recruits. All things considered, with the NCAA hovering around since the Billy Preston days I think that the staff has recruited well. I have no doubt that we will sign another player or two. The question is who is left? 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Long interview
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Michael Foster cut his list and KU wasn’t on it. Not that there was ever any doubt he was going pro 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 247 dropped Clemence 29 spots now to #60. I don’t see 60 better players then him but who knows if he’ll even stick at this point KJ at 91 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @BeddieKU23 Baylor is trying but he is solid. Shocking that scum sucker Drew would try to get a kid to decommit… I think the drop is bogus too, he is really good.

 Langston is the JUCO kid right? If my memory serves me right I thought I saw where he had ~40 offers.

 @Woodrow said in 2021 Recruiting: Langston is the JUCO kid right? If my memory serves me right I thought I saw where he had ~40 offers. ya that’s him, he does have 40 offers. Yet a lot of those offers aren’t what you would call big time, got enough but I mean not flooded Some of those offes are : Fla International , Maryland Eastern Shore , Howard , K-State , Miss Valley St , Eastern Carolina , Nicholls St , Troy , Grambling St etc. Some of the bigger offers are : - -Arizona st , West Virginia , KU , Georgia , Memphis , Wichita State , & Maryland. So yahe has 40 offers but wouln’t be just in awe over the amount of offers. Having said that would still take this kid in a minute, looks really athletic
