@BShark said in 2023 Recruiting:
So K-State missed on Cameron Carr who is going to Tennessee. You might think oh well that’s not a surprise but it’s a hilarious loss given that they hired his prep coach on their staff AND his dad has been coaching at KSU (women’s team) for 5 years now. Massive whiff that only a school as poverty as KSU could manage.
Now you play nice Mister lol
-
@BShark Yea but At least K State better than Louisville which is crazyyy. They got 1 Pg that came from Juco who play all 40 min all 3 games so far.I know Kenny Payne wasn’t there but probably wish they have Bobby on that team rn.
-
Oh Iowa State all up and Cocky all over themselves - -talking about their 23 recruiting class. Best recruiting class in history of School - - Ranked # 6 in the Nation
Omaha Biliew Highest rated recruit , - - -Milan Momcilovic - Averaged 18.1 and 7.7 rpg - - # 3 recruit of all time- - -Jilani Hamilton & Kayden Fish out of KC - -they think big times ahead - - we shall see I reckon
-
That’s on the coaches. Had an entire offseason to get the roster in order.
-
Kaden Cooper picked Oklahoma. Surprised. Know they were the home school but he seemed like he was shopping out of state. Big 12 continues to load up on talent
-

Good, keeps the Big 12 on top and forces Self to stay on top of his game in recruiting.
-
Sorry fella’s know this isn’t the spot but - - just saying our ladies have a HUGE GAME TONIGHT. - -two undefeated teams. - -Ku vs # 12 Arizona hoping they can pull this out - -ROCK CHALK
-
Awesome win!
-
Our # 22 Lady Jay Hawks got to 10 - - -0 with an 81 - -62 win over Tulsa. - - Franklin 25 points and Jackson 17 pts & 10 rebounds - -Way to go ladies
-
I know guys we are not or shouldn’t compare scores - - not a good idea but just throwing this out concerning our # 22 Lady Jay Hawks… - -
Arizona which is ranked 20th right now just got through beating Baylor which was ranked 18th. - - KU women just kicks the day lights out of Arizona when they werre ranked # 7 on Arizona’s home floor by 27 points - - -77-50. - Tonight Arizona beats Baylor - -by 21 points on a neutral floor. Go figure , just saying
-
I know not the right area but not sure where it was - - had a question . Therre was a post or some comments here about a kid that’s at Texas Tech I believe that was looking to transfer , can’t remember his name but someone stated stats on his rebounding and such- -he was a big man. - -
Found out actually he could transfer and be eligible immediately -and the individual casually probably said maybe we ought to check him out or maybe if KU had any interest. - -I was just curious if there was any interest maybe. - For the life of me I can’t remember his name. - - Just curious , he would be nice - -a really really long reach I know BUT doesn’t hurt to wish
-
@jayballer67 He is staying at Texas Tech.
-
-
So what did they do, actually pay him now?
-
@BeddieKU23 From the sound of it yes.

Hilarious.
Kids/handlers/parents gotta be careful with anyone saying “up to” in NIL.
-
Elmarko to rise up the ranks with rivals soon.
-
@BeddieKU23 He’s been playing well lately after a rough patch.
-
247 updated their rankings (not the composite)
Elmarko Jackson #23
Chris Johnson #39
Jamari McDowell #70

Is there an article about it?
-
Yep
-
@BeddieKU23 thx
-
Congrats Elmarko!
Made the McDonald’s All American game
-
He’s going to be terrific. I also think people are sleeping on McDowell. He’s got skills that will translate right away
-

Awesome. Yet of course you know he won’t show a lot there cause we know how the McDonalds all star game goes - usully it’s first one down the court shoot – little team in that game. - -Looking forward to his days here on the campus - -he is really moving up
-
Dennis Evans back on the board. I doubt KU gets back involved, but you never know.
-
Whoa, not surprised given Minnesota’s season.

Yeah not sure how he would fit next season at all.

Sharky, you don’t see how a 7-foot-1 center would fit in next season??? A top 20, shot blocking, rim-protecting big? that’s just crazy talk.
-
Evans at 7’1” is 210 lbs? How much weight can he really add?
-

Perhaps 230sih at most
-
@BShark he gets locked in the complex to eat and lift
-
@FarmerJayhawk - McDonalds diet?
-
@Gorilla72 we’re fancy at KU. We do Wendy’s
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Let’s follow his career. I am not the biggest fan. More than that, I think Udeh will be better next year. I think if they look at a big it should be a transfer that is ready to immediately contribute.
-
I hope we can find 2 wing scorers, that’s what this team will need unless Kev returns.

I was going to edit again and comment on this more.
I think it’s likely the staff is pretty happy with our post situation. If Zach goes you probably portal for a guy but KJ/Udeh/Zuby is a nice group. The big thing is Jalen and Gradey are leaving so we need shot takers. With the scholarship reduction down to 12 it really is hard to find room for a developmental big. Plus Evans might want to play immediately as well. The primary focus has to be the starting 4.
-
Yeah another big will be needed if Zach didn’t stick around. Zach, Bobby, Kyle all stunted by injuries, now MJ and Zuby facing the same situation this year. Lots of questions in this group.
KJ and Udeh is a really good combo to have. Then you have Zuby there too. I’m very pleased with that trio.
Love the freshman trio coming, Jackson seems like a shoe-in to play alongside Harris. Gotta get some dudes on the wing and a 4 man that can shoot

I still really think KJ starts at the 4 next year even if he doesn’t develop a 3 ball.
We could win games 38-25 with Juan, Kev, KJ, and Udeh plus a freshman.

Please no!

Hard to argue, but it’s always nice to have a 7 footer as an option on the floor. Our bigs don’t have that size.
-
Bossi had this to say fwiw
"I doubt Kansas gets back into the picture. They’ve already got two work in progress bigs on the roster and they backed off of Evans during latter stages of recruitment. With Minnesota, I think their 1-15 conference record and his former summer teammate not having the best go of it there were bigger factors than NIL. "

Is it an impossibility that KJ works on his shooting and steps out to the 4?
