@Marco I believe he is announcing Tuesday. I feel good about this one

Virginia Gold looked loaded and Prolific looked a lot less talented as a team but MJ did not back up any part of his ranking against them

@BeddieKU23 Think he’s going to give us a year?

I myself think it’s 50/50 at best bud
-
I don’t expect he does. Recruiting 5 star types now is a complete crap shoot
-
Well the way things probably play out is - - - Last year COVID knocked us out of strong possibility of a National Championship - -THIS YEAR the IIARP or whatever it is /NCAA will probably see we are stacked with another really good chance at a Championship and they will ban us from post season play this year. Figures that’s how the NCAA will screw us this year

He’s tied to some people that were involved with other kids that committed to college and then skipped for the G League. Huge part of why NC State backed off.

@BShark thanks for the info.

Agree I saw this as well somewhere else. It was a gamble taking his commitment but I think for recruiting purposes it was beneficial to have a 5 star type player as the headliner at least until he really decides what he’s doing. Sounds as if him working on his body (getting more lean) & working on some parts of his game (jump shot) has him looking like a potential g-league/prof option after the upcoming year. If all else fails then he goes to KU I guess for a year.
Now I saw some of his first and 3rd games that showed him playing better then I saw against Virginia Gold. Saw that he averaged 21.3 ppg during that tourney that had lots of talent there. He’s definitely a physically imposing player at this level. KU would benefit getting him for sure. He’s in that mold of Henry/Oubre/Wiggins/Selden esque wings that come here and produce as freshman. We’ll see what happens.

Happy Ernest Udeh JR day board rats.

Sorry I’m here to kill dreams. :p
So riddle me this Batman - -If it is now being widely said that he will play College ball and the only 3 colleges he has listed is Alabama Tennessee St and KU - -where is he gonna play his College ball ?
Another reason I think neve say Never IF it is College cause if he was so set on Alabama why even bother bringing KU back into the discussion ? & Visit - -so is it Tennessee St ?
He just wants himself a party weekend, more or less being wined and dined. Wouldn’t you as a high school baller take an all expenses paid trip to Lawrence on a weekend? He is not going to play one minute of college ball.
ummmm , not so fast there my friend lol - geez where have I heard that phrase before Lee Corso maybe lol. - - anyways alot of people now saying he WILL play college for a year anyways. - -If I just wanted to wined and dined I could think of a LOT of other places then in Lawrence lol

Ahh yes - - -Ernest - -I remember now - lol oh ya and umm ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I have to say I’m impressed (as long as he commits) that we landed him. Month ago I definitely thought the Portal was the only option for another big the way things were trending. Good to see this class with for now possibly 4 Top 100 kids.
-
So Ernest is going to announce at 6. - -With him being in Florida , which would be Eastern time Zone - - So does that mean 5 O’Clock our time ? just curious
-

4 top 50 kids!

@rockchalkwyo Don’t think Rice sticks (hurrr) but it is nice to see recruiting back.
-
Rebounds and dunks.
-
There you have it guys - - - NASTY - -rim to rim - -shot blocker & rebounder. - -I will take that any day - -every day ROCK CHALK

For sure , and they actually said KU has 4 out of the top 41 recruits , just wish MJ would stick but I don’t think he ever steps foot on Campus as a player for KU

According to ESPN, Doke is 6’10”

He’s got to have a 7’2 or more wingspan. Evident when he gets up there for dunks that he’s got some reach to him. More natural athlete at the basket then McCormack. The lob, rebounding, rim protection and ability to dunk are things that will translate for him. With development on his footwork and refining his skills in the post he’s going to be a Bill Self favorite if he sticks around
-
@BeddieKU23 If ever there was a front court to tempt Bill to go 2 bigs again it’s Zuby and Udeh. He is definitely going to try it lol.
-
Udeh is seriously a great fit for what Self loves to do with bigs. Gonna have him seal, screen, get angle passes for dunks etc…
-
I like both of them a lot. They both fit what Self wants. Both are athletic and can punish the rim.
-
At least on offense, Clemence and Udeh works great. Defense might be a tad iffy
-
You know before it’s all said and done , Zuby and Udeh just might makes a pretty nasty duo. I’m thinking they will chances are they will be here for three years. Well I think anyways I guess how quick they really develop.
Last I heard/read on Juby today was could very likely play small 5 ball , Zuby has a High Motor , Powerful , Explosive & Ultra Agressive. I like how that sounds you put that combo together hell maybe both on the floor sometimes in small amounts. Gives Bill multiple options to work with. Ya I like it - - I like it ALOT
-
@jayballer67 feel better now? Lol…
-
You love to see it. How does Udeh project as a defender? Is he a shot-blocking type player?
-

I completely agree. As you said awhile back, the Death Star is back in operation.
-
@jayballer67 I’m not ruling him out. Step up our NIL game now!

very good protector I’ve heard runs rim to rim aggressive rebounder and rim protector
-
-
@BShark His job? Be our inside monster.
-
Alright people, odds on Rice playing for us? I say 55-45, in our favor. What say you?
-
Udeh was a massive get, with Dick, Zuby and hopefully Rice. I know, @jayballer67 doesn’t approve of my post, but oh well lol
