    @jayballer67

    I inquired about him since my buddy coaches at Brewster. A lot of interest for him and he’s entertaining just about all of it. There is mutual interest from what he can read about what Matas is saying

    When I first saw his tape I was hoping against hope that KU could close early bud deep down knew it would be a war for him.

    At least sounds like we got in early, not that it means a whole lot but he said he really liked when he was at Ku. I mean just saying he got to talk with Coach and loved the facilities - -gonna be a war ,and who knows maybe he is a lock for one of those many many other schools that all their fans say. Of UK fans say if cal is interested then it’s a wrap he will be Uk always the case according to their fans. lol

    UK fans are on there asking the Duke posters - -the Arizona posters what makes them such an expert as to way they think the guy is a lock for their School. I guess no one is entitled to say that other then UK.

    I did see on Rivals future cast that there was one prediction and it was 100 % KU BUT we know that doesn’t mean squat cause anyone can get on there and cast their vote for where a kid is going. - someone to keep an eye on though -who knows.

    Well seen this the other day , and saw again today off Rupp Rafters. 2023 recruit has been to KU. At the present time he is a 6’10 pg he won’t end up being this in college , has decent handles but not pg handles for College. His name is Matas Buzelis out of Wolfeboro NH Brewster Academy.

    If any others have more info other then what I post feel free to fill us in. Not sure why I’m wasting my time as other posters all they he is a lock for their school , so then guess there si no chance in hell for us to be involved lol.

    Eric Bossi wrote him up saying they hadn’t updated rankings for quite awhile but this kid currently 43rd but 32 generated composite is in line for big jump probably top 10 , right now he has unoffically been to U Conn , Depaul , Purdue , & KU and also planning on going to WF & Florida state.

    Got this today of Rupp but like I said no chance cause poster from Arizona is Arizona’s lock team to beat - -Another said he is a Duke lock & then Uk posters saying if Cal has been to see him and Cal wants him he is UK’s - dam must be nice to just be able to lock up a kid cause people say so lmao. Don’t even know why others recruit if thats the case.

    He has had a huge group come see him at open gym almost all the big boys : UK - Duke - - N Carol - -Mich - -Illi - -Ariz - - Mich St - -Syra - -U Conn - -KU - -& UCLA so far Just not sure Three Schools have him as a lock for their School and we know if they say so then so let it be written -so let it be done. - -there is only ONE problem. we have three schools saying he is a lock for their school BUT there is only ONE KEY - -dammit I hate it when that happens lol. - -Anybody have any info on the kid seriously. Does KU have any kind of shot with him ? He said he really enjoyed his visit loved the facilities let us know. - -B Shark ? - -Farmer ?

    Matas Buzelis, yes! Didn’t know anything about this guy, but bigtime baller!



  • Couple of guys , not sure if mentioned for 23 but either KU is interested in or mentioned KU they are # 31 Assane Diop 6’10 Center out of Denver Colorado. - -raw in overall development - -great motor - - flashes of Ball skills – -great frame. Other Schools are Denver , Illinois , Maryland , & Memphis.

    Then the # 53 ranked player of 23 is 6’9 PF out of Duncanville Texas - -hmmm seems like w had another big boy from{ DuncanVille Texas - -who was that guy lol } - Barnes skilled face up 4 guy excellent size and length . - -Has unoffically visited - Baylor - - SMU - - & KU

    Guys to keep our eyes on - - who knows



  • 2023 guard Chris Johnson @luhchris has received an offer from Kansas



  • @jayballer67 Ostertag right? The Big O.



  • @Marco said in 2023 Recruiting:

    @jayballer67 Ostertag right? The Big O.

    ya I think that’s right, ya I think he was the one. Who was that other big guy w had I thought he too was from Texas probably off on that but I think you are right. Ostertag from Duncanville



  • @jayballer67 not sure… Remember Big O though, he went to Duncanville.



  • @Marco said in 2023 Recruiting:

    @jayballer67 not sure… Remember Big O though, he went to Duncanville.

    Boy do I remember lol - -the other big I was thinking of was Aldrich - -probably not right



  • @jayballer67 yeah, the big O was from Duncunville. I think Cole was from Minnesota



  • @Oldmanhawk Correct on both.



  • @Oldmanhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:

    @jayballer67 yeah, the big O was from Duncunville. I think Cole was from Minnesota

    Thanks guy - - I’ll blame that on old age lol - -I was sure about O couldn’t remember about Cole



  • I loved me some Aldrich… He had a great three year(?) career. He was bigtime in our Final Four (first time that he was really used, right?) matchup against UNC. My god, Psycho T had better days - over the top, over the top, rinse and repeat.



  • yippee. we made the FINAL 8 for 223 point guard Jeremy Fears 6’1 ranked presently # 27 according to 247. - Some about these final 10 - -final 8’s just chap my ass lol. - -Let me know when we get to the final 3



  • @jayballer67 I heard that we made his final 18.



  • @Marco said in 2023 Recruiting:

    @jayballer67 I heard that we made his final 18.

    LMAO - - -stunning absolutely Stunning I say lol



  • Kansas has offer rise 2023 forward jarred hall per to his coach



  • Kansas was at st.bernard 's to see 2023 5 star MacKenzie mgbako



  • Read we made the top 5 for 6"1 Combo - -Kanaan Carlyle the Schools are : - -Auburn , Baylor , Florida , Stanford & KU . Ranked # 20 in the Nation

  • Carlyle wants to commit before the grassroots season starts in 22. Already officially visited Baylor & Georgia this fall. Going to Stanford this week. Wonder if we’ll see him visit KU in-season for a big game…

    hopefully It would be nice for like the Kentucky game or Texas would be sweet. Have him there when the Phog is jumpin



  • Class of 2024 from Huntington prep WV g/f Trenton flowers has received an offer from Kansas



  • 2023 6’5 Combo Guard Chris Johnson #37 overall (jumped 30+ spots) in latest update will officially visit KU sometime this season it looks. We made his top 7. Jeremy Case leading the charge. Has already made officials to Arkansas/LSU. He is from Texas and also wants to see Georgia. Has Houston, Texas & Texas A&M in his Top 7 as well. Nothing noteworthy on KU here besides him wanting to official here. Seems like he’s going to commit sometime this season



  • 2023 Guard Jeremiah Johnson #38 overall- Kansas: “Bill Self and Jeremy Case has been recruiting me. I took two unofficial visits there. I like that program because it is a winning program and a main priority for me is winning. Also, they have shown a lot of loyalty by staying with me throughout all that has happened.”

    Johnson was shot this summer (context to his comment about them staying loyal).



  • @BeddieKU23 Got a shot on this one, I’ve heard. Believe he will stay relatively local. KU an Okie schools all over him. Not sure how much we will need a guard in that class.



  • Well read an article about a couple of 2023 recruits. - -One I think we might have good chance at , the other ummm probably not. Just from what he said

    The one I really don’t think A LOT of interest from them is # 12 Matas Buzelis - - pretty much said Duke , Kentucky & Kansas was there watching him talking about taking visits and what have you then when it came to KU he said he text’s them , calls them but he just don’t know

    The one who at least sounds like he is interested in KU and KU Townsend was watching him the same day as Matas same Schools there watching KU- - Duke - -& Kentucky Tayler Bol Bowen , # 23 in the class of 2023 , Bowen said : Norm is the one who offered him and Norm came to Brewster and Tayler was very excited to see him , to see him walk in the gym. Tayler said I just want KU to be part of my recruitment and it’s a blessing to have them as part of my recruitment for sure.

    That to me sure sounds like he is pretty interested in KU , the question is - - - is the feeling mutual it vey wll might be if Norm offered - we shall see



  • No chance with Buzelis. Zero, zilch, squat.

    @BeddieKU23 any insight on the other kid?



  • @BShark

    Good athlete. Offensive game needs some polish and development I was told but length and size for days. Will need weight room too… Hard worker and good kid. KU definitely in there on him. Obviously they r recruiting Buzelis but his recruitment is already a bidding war



  • Kansas will be in to see 2023 5 star ja’kobe Walter in Mckinney tx tonight



  • This post is deleted!


  • Well we made the final 5 for 6’1 point guard Jeremy Fears # 27 in the Nation. Other Schools Michigan , Michigan State Illinois U Conn & KU



  • No chance. Illinois is all in on him.



  • @BShark said in 2023 Recruiting:

    Are we afraid of Illinois ? - -does that mean were not suppose to try ?



  • He’s not coming to Kansas. Illinois is beating us for players lately. Have to get a better NIL game.

    The only way KU’s NIL game changes is if it magically moves it’s location

    I think we can do better than involving the Baty brothers.

    Pizza Hut and White Castle started in Wichita, right? While I realize that WSU is there, I mean come on… Surely we could reach out to places such as those. Or the Sprint Center, etc.



  • Sprint center is a t and t. White Castle started here?



  • @BShark how long is that contract? Seems so weird we agreed to that. What was their cut?



  • @Crimsonorblue22 said in 2023 Recruiting:

    I think so, yeah. Pizza Hut too.

    For as much money as I spent at the Red Lyon and Pizza Shuttle back in the day I’d think they have the cash to do something



  • Someone get Frito-Lay on the phone. How about M&M/Mars? They’ve both got deep pockets. Remember the Newtek guys? They left for Austin many years back, but started here in Topeka originally. Maybe they have a sweet spot for their old stomping grounds?

    That’s what I’m saying, M&M Mars, Pizza Hut, White Castle - businesses that started right here in Kansas.



  • Layden Blocker and Scottie Middleton will be in this weekend for visits. Blocker is ranked #34, a pg and Middelton a SF ranked #50.



  • @BeddieKU23 Sunrise Christian Pipeline is NICE



  • Blocker has previously taken visits to Auburn, Oklahoma & Ole Miss. In October he cut his list to 7 including KU. Has taken unofficial’s to Arkansas & Baylor. From Little Rock so Arkansas has to be considered a threat. I think this visit could make a big impression on him. Really looks like the kind of PG Self is looking for. 6’2, athletic, defends and functional shot.

    Middleton has risen in the ranks since coming to Sunrise. Not sure how involved KU is at this point. Seems like his recruiting is going to change. Originally from FL.



  • Ran across three 2023 recruits today passing along. The first is the # 11 player off 247 name is Kylan Boswell made his top 7. - -Thing is with this one we were on his initial top 5 Schools of interest and we still in the game. - - a 6’1 PG from Compass prep Arizona, looking to commit sooner then later.- -Other Schools running with us for him : - -Illinois - - Arizona ( probably the favorite but never know , Michigan , Oregon , Texas Tech & USC & KU. - -Boswell says he has visited Illinois , next visit will be Arizona and said he is looking to visit the others, said sorry he could take only 5 visits but would have to see about fit and then visit

    Then this kid PaPa Kante : – 6’10 Center out of South Kent Conn , # 92 ranked player other Schols in the mix are : - -Michigan , Rutgers , Tennessee , Syracuse , Pitt , Conn , Iowa , Seton Hall & KU

    The third kid is Taylor Bol Bowen 6’9 SF # 25th ranked player other schools involved are # Providence , U Conn , Duke , Arkansas , & KU – We Shall see how things pan out. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG
