MacKenzie Mgbako the # 7 overall ranked player in the 2023 class is pulling out of his commitment to Duke. - All signs point to him re-opening his recruitment. We sure could of used him , would help answer our problems at the 4.He is a stretch 4 can shoot the 3 they say Mcdonalds All American. He will be the highest unsigned player - - Dam lol

You still make a very strong push for him at this point. He’ll likely be the best option to come available at the 4 spot and KU has a need and a lot of minutes to offer. If KU were able to somehow land this kid, Hunter Dickinson, and Primo Spears, that’d put KU as a top 10 team next season.

He is deep Nike. Forget it.

Still need to make the call and pitch and kick the tires even if it is a long shot. This late in the game, strange things can happen in recruiting.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Worth a call sure.
-
Sure seems like he’s open to more than Nike given Louisville is a rumored destination. NIL changes the game.

THE MIKEY WILLIAMS NEWS GOOD GOD

Bullet dodged there PHEW. Glad there are no questions with Elmarko
-
Not even surprised tbh. But wow

“dodged”
And yes Elmarko is a GREAT kid by all accounts.

LA Times story from a while back on Adams Jr.

Mikey signed with Memphis. Hmm. I had him pegged for Alabama:
-
@Jethro has there been any info on his puma deal after this?
-
He’s still got some time to switcharoo if Bama wants take on his baggage

I haven’t seen anything, but I imagine it’s gone.

Did Barkley really say this???
“He overcame Scott Drew’s coaching to win a national championship”
- Charles Barkley on Davion Mitchell
-
@Jethro yes lol

Memphis under Hardaway isn’t a stranger to high profile players getting arrested on gun charges.

He’ll fit right in then.

what a BOMB from swain
-
@rcjhdraft Mgbako?
-
Yes
There are concerns with him though from scouts. Basically mixed on him. Might have some Joe in him…
-
-
@BeddieKU23 I don’t love the film myself tbh.
Looks like an elite shooter, but other than that there is a lot missing.

what is the Bomb ? lol
mgbako might visit. Seems like he was pretty underwhelming for his senior season, but at the nike hoop summit(a reasonably competitive environment full of nba scouts) he was great.

Yeah I think that’s why he’s in play, having that elite level shooting skill. Has size, athleticism etc. On the Phog it was mentioned by a very vocal poster there that he had talked with several that were mixed on him. The criticism about him not doing what coaches want him to do was troubling.
Personally I just don’t want another freshman on the roster unless we are replacing one of the 4 already on board with him.
Duke didn’t seem to fight to keep him at all once Filipowski returned, I’m getting bad vibes.

Fallback to Tyson IMO.

Definitely but freshman don’t move the needle if your trying to win championships. If he was the lone guy brought into start then fine but that’s not the situation we have. I don’t want anymore freshman unless we are replacing Johnson and or McDowell at this point.

I still having a hard time of grasping this. - -So if CJ & McDowell are that bad where people want them out already - WHY did we eve recruit them in the 1st place ?

Yeah I generally agree but this guy is gonna be a top 5 pick. Only concerns would be shooting but I think he moves the needle way more than a Tyson.

I think McDowell is a really good long term prospect. Idk on Johnson. He had a horrible senior year which is not good from a guy you hoped would develop. Honestly another year of prep school wouldn’t the worst thing.

Thank You , now see that I can grasp/understand.- -I just find it hard to already sit sail on guys that we recruited to de-commit/transfer whatever , before they even step foot on the court to actually see them in action. - Pretty harsh judgement NOW yes after hearing stories and things on Johnson - -yes that I can understand a little better, how he might be kind of a distraction/ hard coaching and maybe some over all attitude - - I get that. - Yet like you said on Mcdowell I don’t - he CAN’T be that bad if we recruited the kid in the 1st place might be another one kinda raw and as you say long terem - but to just more or less give the impression they need to be gone before they ever step foot on the floor ? - - - Come On let’s be real

Ok, I’m digging this guy. Wait until he’s here for 2 years. Plan B if Dickinson decides he’s too good for us:
