Was just reading about 2022 prospect Rylan Griffin , 6’5 SG out of Richardson Texas.
Talks about the Schools recruiting him the hardest : KU , Oklahoma , Baylor , & K-State - -now has had Auburn offer.
Had to kind of Chuckle when he was breaking down the schools and it came time for Squeaky ( Ol Brucie ) lol - -he say that they wanted him to come over and fill his Cousins shoe’s , then repeated they want we to come over and fill shoe’s lmao. - - As far as Oklahoma he said they wanted him to come and take over and score like Buddy Heid & Trae Young
When it came to KU :KU said if I can shoot I’ll be on the Court for a long time. He says the thing about KU is HISTORY. He says KU is really cool , I like them , I like Coach Bill Self He’s a really cool guy ( Side note - - -not sure but I think he thinks we are cool lol )

Well been pretty bored today and did a little scoping out from Rivals and found some things kind of interesting ang yet some confusing to a degree. One thing I noticed between rivals and 247 is that the two sites vary in they’re ranking of players - -some quite a bit.
Found some names - -some has been mentioned & a few that I haven’t heard. Here are some and difference on rankings : - One Big one that hadn’t heard mentioned and looks like he interested is:
4 ( by 247 ) - -# 6 by ( Rivals ) - -is Amari Bailey 6’4 Combo out of Chatsworth California. - -has a future cast of 100 % KU- - -but here is the thing I see where fans can make their predictions on where they think a kid is going , So the confusing part is a prediction on rivals from an expert or just some random fan ? - Cause I saw where a couple of players that had their top 5 schools of interest and yet a couple of times where there was a future cast of a School that wasn’t even listed. - - Confusing -Other names for 2022:
Kajani Wright 6’9 PF out of LA California – ( 10 - -247 )- -( # 9 rivals )
Lee Dot - -heard this name before 6’10 Center out of Addison Texas- - ( # 12- -247- - ( 15 rivals )
Brice Griggs 6’'1 PG out of San Diego - – ( # 22 --247 ) - - -( # 27 rivals )
Dylan Andrews 6’4 PG out of LA California- - - ( # 25 - -247 )- - ( # 30 rivals )
Vince Iwuchukwu 6’ 10 Center out of San Antonio Tx - - ( # 34- -247 )
Tre White Another name heard before ( # 47- -247 )- - ( #39 rivals )
Rylan Griffin 6’5 SG out of Richardson Texas ( # 53- -247 )
Colin Smith 6’7 SF out of Dallas Texas- - ( # 74- -247 - - ( # 57 rivals ) quite a difference
Joseph Pinion 6’6 SF out of Morrillon Ark- - ( # 105- -247- - ( # 89 rivals ) another big difference
Some names I found. Looks like we are still hitting big boys one way or another , these guys either listed KU as one of their top 5 Schools at the present , so either they’re interest in us or Our interest in them or both. - we were listed for 10 out of the top 53 rated players for one reason or another in the class of 2022 - - there are others they listed but we have mentioned - - -Grady Dick , for one - -gonna be interesting just passing some names along , you may have heard of these guys - - or not - -anyways - -some one’s to keep an eye on. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

IF the NCAA crap is decided before next recruiting cycle we could have a shot here. Wasatch connection and KT has a close relationship with his family.

@jayballer73 Good research (I’m lazy).

Class of 2022 Aidan shaw 6’8 Sf has been offer by ku

do not get your hope up as ku actually get back in the game for him
-
Not talking about him, but KU in general being able to actually land kids again. NCAA crap needs to be finalized. Will KU land a PG ever again???!
-
What if Harris is the goods?
-
@BeddieKU23 I think he is a solid player, but we need another guard. At a minimum we need a replacement for Garrett.

Yep we do. We are dumpster diving so to speak though now after several whiffs
-
@BeddieKU23 yeah I’m not surprised sadly.

There might be a little something to it. KU is pushing for a reclass and UK has a lot less appeal in 21, given Askew and Hickman will definitely be there, and they’re likely in Sallis’s top 2.
-
Seems like KU is in a pretty good spot with Cuffe Jr.

We should expect him elsewhere then right? All the recent “in a good spot” kids have done so

Ryan on the Phog indicated the staff is still really high on Harris. Really good chance he’s here for 4 more years and I think he has a role this year while slowly learning how he’ll possibly take over Garrett’s spot after the season. Unless Self lands himself a top level PG like he did Dotson to come in right away it makes the most sense that they are content to let Harris develop and become a starter.

I think it’s fine if Harris starts. The best case scenario with returning players leaves KU with three guards. Harris, Bryce and…Jossell. Braun, Ochai and Tyon could fill in but you really want a third guard other than Jossell. I can see where it would be tough to recruit even normally w/o the NCAA crap as other coaches will say everyone is coming back. Other than getting a guard out recruiting has lined up well with players that are for sure leaving. Clemence in for Silvio and KJ in for Mitch.
-
I would absolutely prefer another guard that’s interchangeable on the perimeter. The rug fell out from the Hickman recruitment, Bates did his thing and Salis is being pushed in other ways so it is what it is there. Missing on Hickman is a major loss, I personally thought his game was terrific. Maybe the staff finds something in the Spring or pushes the transfer market for an upperclassmen. The recruiting cloud isn’t going away anytime soon and I wouldn’t count out Braun becoming a go-to perimeter guy by Jr season. I think he has the chance to surprise the fanbase the way Marcus developed himself into a dependable PG option last season. Things have a way of working themselves out. I hope the recruiting losses on the perimeter are replaceable.

@BShark Man, a 6’6 PG.
-
Offered Mark Armstrong, a guard out of Jersey.
-
New offers: Mor Seck, Noah Shelby.
-
Some other names to check in on these kids has KU lister in their 5 schools of interest.
Amari Bailey # 4 in the 247 & # 5 by rivals ( Chatsworth CA ) 6"4 CG looks like UCLA maybe the lead
Kijari Wright #10 in the 247 & # 11 rivals ( LA CA ) 6’9 PF
Keynte George # 12 in the 247 6"4 SG ( Lewisville Tx ) I think
Bryce Griggs # 22 in the 247 6"3 Combo ( Sandiego CA )
Some to keep track of
-
SLAM THE DOOR SHUT BILLY
-
Good sign to at least be making final 5s on elite players. Believe recruiting can get back on track after NCAA crap.
-
Like where we stand on that list too.

Reclass is on the table there as well. KU would love him in either.
-
Offered Mady Traore. Was hoping KU would get in on him. Unranked but offers from Arizona, KU, Auburn…
-
Mady Traore 6 '11 wing - - a kid who loves the 3 - - -shoots it pretty decent , needs some mass , 6’11 & 195. Orginally from France - now in Virginia.
7’3 wing span - - 9’5 standing reach - - -39 inch vertical - - -12’8 jumping reach.- - Coach and Co suppose to have a Zoom with him tonight so I read anyways. - someone to keep an eye on. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You can’t win any of these recruitments if you don’t try.
-
To add, I always wonder if the coaches go in thinking they have no shot due to AAU or shoe co
-
@BeddieKU23 Good point, and you are right. But coaches from schools non-affiliated will offer scholarships anyway just to make sure that the favored schools put in the work, if nothing else. It also allows them to zone in on their true targets, while hopefully preoccupying their competitors elsewhere. Damn near militaristic, but effective.
-
Well can’t say the Staff isn’t putting in work. - Went through the rankings of 2022 recruits from 247 sports went through top 60 ranked kids,
At this point where the kids list their top five schools at this particular point KU is listed by the following players as one of the kids top five Schools of interest : # 4 - – # 6 - - -# 10- - # 12 - - # 13 - - -# 21 - - - # 29 - - # 30 - - # 31 - - # 37 - - & # 44
So we must be still getting kids attention we just HAVE TO FINISH on some of these kids.
So of particular interest as I know at one point anyways heard we were right there with a couple of these kids - -does anyone know any more how we stand with Mark Mitchell & Grady Dick ?
Would be interested in a couple of others if anyone know or has heard anything and they are : # $ ranked kid Amari Bailey a 6’4 CG out of Chatsworth California. - - He has us listed along with UCLA , Alabama , Depaul , Illinois - - - Then the # 30 ranked kid Vince Iwuchukwu a 7 footer C out of LaPorte Indiana ? - he has us listed along with – -Baylor , Purdue , TCU , Texas , & KU - -looks like he wants to stay right here in the middle of the Country with those choices - - - -Anybody help ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Grady just updated his recruitment. KU vs Baylor battle really. Alabama also probably rounds out the Top 3. Hopefully with Covid and his connections to the program he stays local.
Not expecting KU to be serious with anyone in the Top 20-25 recruits. Just the way it is right now.
Hoping they keep after Rylen Griffen #46, SG out of Texas
Aiden Shaw out of Blue Valley sits at #77 and should be someone they look into.
-
He is a must get, being as talented as he is and from Wichita.
-
One to watch. Potential reclass. He’s got a lot of traits Self likes. Combo guard, stupid athlete. Very good defender. Shooting is meh. https://247sports.com/Player/Kyle-Cuffe-Jr-46086980/
