2023 Recruiting
-
I like taking as many guards as we are. Skill is the name of the game these days. But I’m not sure what’s happening at the 4 spot. Jalen is all but certain to leave after this year and there’s not an obvious successor. Maybe McCullar uses his Covid year? We go really small and play MJ there? There’s always the portal so that’s most likely IMO. Will be an interesting story to follow over the next 9 months.
-
@BeddieKU23 Bill has shown that if anything, the biggest key for his teams being successful is simply having guys here 3-4 years. Obviously Och and CB are pro guys now, but they are likely the only two from last years rotation. I think of anyone else Dajuan has the best chance which sounds insane but we will see.
So yeah just keeping guys is huge.

Portal for sure. I don’t think we will be too likely to run into problems filling starting spots. This last offseason we had more guys that wanted to come to KU than we had spots by quite a bit.

Wesley Yates to Washington, now there’s a head-scratcher

-
AJ Johnson updated his recruitment and didn’t include anything on KU. Safe to say he’s no longer a priority target/target worth following

Yeah haven’t seen KU linked with him in awhile and clear we went to other targets.
-
Yeah I knew we haven’t been involved much here. I just thought I’d share for those who might be wondering on him
-
Real targets: Elmarko, Mikey, Cooper
Imagine we only take one. All should announce this month.

Considering the talent in this class available it’s impressive to see high level guys looking here again. Elmarko and Cooper would be a really insane haul
-
Thursday for Elmarko
-
I wouldn’t be shocked if bill self got a another one

Do we even know how many openings we will have available , if Jackson commits tommorrow that’s three

Can’t imagine we’d take a 4th in the early period.
-
Seems like it’s starting to all leak now
-
-
Recruiting is BACK the last two years hot damn.
-
Billy Eugene. Get that guy a raise
-
If the good news does come through today we’ll need to marvel at the talent and athleticism Self has assembled in the backcourt in this class. Talk about going out there and getting dudes

Me neither Bud. I was just curious IF we even have the Scholi’s available- -I’m not sure how many we have available. - -I know Jalen wil be one - - the other kid the one that red shirted last year , the one who came to us through the portal from smal college -that’s two. - -No other big wil transfe out , I right off hand can’t think of any others - -full rosstr won’t we be ? - -Max given I figure would be three tops
-
@jayballer67 The staff recruited in the early period to fill Cam, Kevin and JWill spots. Those three will for sure be gone. Everything else is up in the air and we don’t know yet. Could see a wide range of other spots being available depending how the year goes.

thanks , dum ol me forgot about Mcullars , so ya i WAS thinking three leaving, yet I just don’t know about the rst, the spot I feel most confident about is I JUST DON’T see any of the 3 bigs leaving - - for sure don’t see Zach leaving , pretty sure Udeh isn’t going any where and then I forget the 3rd if any he might JUST NOT seeing that right at this point either though.
Right now they have us ranked 20th best recruiting, wonder how the commit of Jackson would take us ? - -I thought he was ranked a little higher - -247 has him at # 35
-
would be 8th best class with Jackson.

OH OK, well that makes for a decent jump

KU FOR ELMARKO.
WOOOOO
-
I gotta catch up on my 2023 recruiting. Seems like both Elmarko and Johnson are great players from the little i’ve seen.
-
Got heeeeem
-
He’s a 5* in my heart.

Elite athletic guards. CJ being at a prep this year playing for a tough coach should help with his mentals. Talent wise he is a steal that we didn’t have to fight that hard for.

I believe he will end up one. I don’t see how he isn’t

Yeah esp in this class
-
He’s ranked right where Dotson ended up
-
@BeddieKU23 Yep and I think he is on that level.
-
Excellent!!!
-
So ends the class of 2023

that’s it? three dudes? At least four leaving, maybe.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk No one good enough we can get in the HS ranks to fill the starting 4 spot. Gonna have to portal assuming additional spots come open.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk yep, they’ll go portal for the rest.
-
This is over a year ago, he’s nice.
-
@BShark said in 2023 Recruiting:

He is lightning quick, and seems to have a very nice shooting touch. That 180 move he put on a defender in his highlight video you posted was sick. My ankles got sore watching it.

-
Dennis Evans is headed to Minnesota, eh
-
@TYOHawk Imagine Bill having 5 guys who could all catch a lob on the floor. He probably has been sitting on a dozen different plays that are oops to the PG waiting for a guy like this.
-

I would of more then welcomed that EH in a heartbeat for the rim protection he offers. - I understand because of the big situation but just sayin - I know we were fore sure interested at one point
-
Lots of positive press going to Chris Johnson for his play over the last weekend. Certainly looking like he will rise the rankings. He looked a lot like a top 20 prospect then his current rank

Him and Elmarko are just beastly. We’re national championship good for the next several years. Just a powerhouse of talent.

Mikey Williams will announce on 11/6. KU not a finalist here.
Just a weird final 5
