Looking like Aidoo ends up at Marquette, who is likely out for Etienne.
Bummer but Curry has some serious muscle and bounce to him and probably sees the court earlier then Aidoo

We offer? Are we in it?
Yes and yes. Throwing the kitchen sink at him.
Kansas: “They’ve been telling me just to come in and I will have the ball in my hands right away. They don’t have a point guard right now as you can see. They need a point guard really bad and I’m close with coach [Kurtis] Townsend so that’s a good relationship.”

Thanks sounds promising. Interested to see if the emergence of Harris becomes a thing or something the staff can still recruit the position with hey we got an open spot

There would have been a lot of overlap with Gethro and Aidoo imo. Curry definitely offers something our other bigs don’t, he looks immovable. Zach is an elite shooter so Curry will be the only true non-shooting big.
-
True. Curry looks like a smaller Doke from size, power, bounce

Yeah Isaac’s would start and play 30 minutes a game next year so that’s a non-issue. He is 22 but KU wants him to reclass. His top 4 (not official but the main players right now) is an even Nike/Adidas split lol. He’s at Wasatch where Kurtis has strong connections so it would be nice to not get blind-sided on another Wasatch kid…
The staff wants a PG for next year pretty badly, even with Harris being solid. They don’t really view Bryce as a PG.
-
So KU is in his top 4
-

Yeah I’m calling him mini-Dok.
-
Bossi’s comment on Isaacs has me even more excited…
-
42% from three on over 200 attempts as a SO.
-
@BShark wow
-
Reminded me of Devonte with the confident jumper. They look similar athletically. Can see the appeal
-

he would be in the 2022 class right ? - -We don’t have anymore room in 21 I don’t think do we ?
-

Yeah, my first thought actually. His shooting splits are quite nice and overall stats solid too.
@jayballer67 staff wants him in 21. Room would be made, if needed.

ya true. – -If they want someone bad enough - -they find room kinda ask nicely politely for someone that they might be better off transferring to another school - -kind of push them out, - not really very nice , but it happens at a lot of schools a lot of the time…
The question becomes is there any mutual interest I wonder on his end of things ? - - I noticed in his 247 composite that KU wasn’t listed as one of his top 5 Schools of interest. - So how much interest does HE HAVE in KU ? - If there is mutual interest what kind of chance do you think we would have ? Plus wonder if he would seriously consider Re Classification ?
-
It’s alphabetical with every team listed as cool. KU is in deep, however.
I posted bits from this earlier but basically they are selling him on immediately starting at PG and have a great relationship with his dad that goes back many years.

@BShark Curry can handle too.

Sounds very promising
-
@BeddieKU23 I believe him reclassing is VERY good for KU. So hopefully it does happen.
-
agree, I’m optimistic and the reclass may be fueled by KU’s interest to get him in this class given the struggles recruiting guards.

Seen some clip from TOS with Clemence & Dick , Sunrise playing Clemence hit a few pick & pops - - Dick looked pretty well , doesn’t really look like at this point anyways Grady has much interest in playing defense gettin beat quite a bit - -but if he indeeds commits here - -I’m sure he will get to learn defense REAL QUICK or he will be spending a lot of early time on the pine - -has a sweet looking shot though.

This is correct. I will add, I won’t be that sad if Dick ends up at Baylor.

why is that ? - - So what do you think about Clemence buddy ?
-
Wait a minute, @BShark @jayballer67 , weren’t you two clamoring and shouting in unison not too long ago, “we want dick! We want dick!”
-
But serious, he is only a sophomore right? He will surely improve. I don’t Baylor to sign anyone.

Jr

UMM NO LOL - - BSark is having 2nd thoughts not me. - - what i said was I was asking BShark why he would be ok with Brady going to Baylor - I myself would still like to have him.
What I said was and BShark agreed was is that at this point it doesn’t seem like Dick wants much to do with the defensive end of the floor. - - That’s not going to cut it when you have Coach Self as your Coach. - you don’t want to play Defense then you gonna get real friendly sitting at the end of the bench handing out water to the players that DO play - plain and Simple lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

One game of highlights. If he’s not a good defender I don’t think either KU or Baylor would be that interested in him.

they can still correct it AND they will if he comes here - -watch the game you can see got beat multiple times kind of a Ohlay defense effort
-
@jayballer67 said in 2021 Recruiting:
they
Yeah it can be corrected and he’s still only a Jr. Kids defending in High School at a high level are hard to find. I haven’t seen enough of his actual games to make a judgement but hopefully I will at some point. The team they played had several D1 players. Not worried this early.
If his D is below par in a year or so I’d worry then and only if he signed with KU , which right now I don’t expect
-

He is charmin soft. Could he toughen up? Sure but right now he isn’t.

KJ Adams moved up to #45 in ESPN latest update. Should see a bump in his composite off that I think
Clemence holding at #31.

Both are much higher in composite than actual 24/7 rankings. Heard there is some strong anti-KU bias at 247 with the people that had been doing a lot of the rankings work.
-
And here I thought the anti-Adidas bias was the only thing we had to worry about
-
@BeddieKU23 Should change if Bossi gets input, imagine that he will.
-
Aidoo to Marquette as expected.

Was told they only really want Smith for 22. Would still expect Curry to end up at KU.

I concur. “Interest” can be a lot of things. Probably just want game tape and some verified measurements.

When is Cuff making his announcement ? - -If he re-classifies do we want this guy ?

Non KU related but wanted to share.
Looks really weird that a 5 star SG Aminu Mohammed has Georgia, Indiana, Georgetown & Kansas St on his list. Phishy
-
@BeddieKU23 Looks like he will end up at UGA nothing to see here.
