2023 Recruiting
-
-
Just saying, Ron Holland is 100% worth the negative recruiting that would come with giving CJ the boot. Even if it meant we were banned from getting Montverde kids for forever.
-
CJ shouldn’t be the one getting the boot. It should be # 5
-
@TYOHawk I’m not arguing that. But it seems like that isn’t happening.
-
Not like we have the pipeline with Montverde or the connections anyway with the program. It doesn’t take a genius to figure out which shoe co’s a majority of these guys land at.
This is a rare occurrence where we took a Top 40ish kid early and he didn’t develop playing with better players/against better competition and now he looks more like a borderline 4 star/high 3 star type. That’s a big difference. Perhaps a blessing to know what they are walking into. It also becomes a topic of whether he’s KU level anymore and what should happen there.
-
Someone yesterday mentioned to me KU is interested in Dingle (?) from Penn who entered the portal. One of the highest scoring players in the country last year. Not seeing much confirming that this is true. Has anyone heard of him or this rumor?
-
@wissox with Morris on board we’re done at guard
-
We’ll see what happens but Mgbako might not make all his visits. RCJH

Obviously still a huge IF, but IF Hunter committed as well where do you think the extra scholarship would come from? Zuby??
-
@Woodrow yeah my guess is we lose a big

I’ve been asked not to discuss it too much or name who the favorite would be, but this is a fairly safe assumption to make.
-
I guess that’s the new landscape. I don’t think Bill would do this under normal circumstances, but Hunter charges the whole trajectory of the team next year if we get him. Sometimes you are going to have to risk losing a 3-4 year player for a 1 year rental if you think it gets you to the next level.
-
Hunter could be for two years, right?

Technically, but I doubt that’s his plan.
-
@Woodrow he’d make more at KU vs any pro option. I’d bet he stays.

would be nice if he didn’t just forget the Indiana & Louisville visits
-
is Mgbako’s visit done?
-

Not surer but think maybe. - -hpe this isn’t the last we see of him
-
Really really really like where we’re at with Mgbako
-
@FarmerJayhawk - related to Cuffe entering the Transfer Portal?
-
@Gorilla72 I believe that’s the spot
-
We ain’t done

Save the date, tomorrow.
heard from my buddy that lives in California- - -say we might just get another big catch tomorrow
-
We get Mackenzie and I’m doing backflips
-
Hunter Dickinson plus Juan are you kidding me?
-
@Zabudda find a Juan assists prop bet and HAMMER it
-
247’s final update:
Mgbako- 10th (looking optimistic here)
Elmarko- 18th but a 4 star (3rd highest 4-star)
Adams- #45th
Johnson- #71 (huge drop and rightfully so)
McDowell- #81
-
FYI - Bronny James to USC. Staying near dad…
-
Calipari losing Bradshaw to USC, in part due to an agency that has helped him get players would feed my family for GENERATIONS.
-
Kentucky fns were afraid of losing Bradshaw- -talk about wanting to play with James

I remember seeing this rumored on the UCLA board last week and I didn’t buy it lol. Kentucky would be SCRAMBLING
-
@BShark lolz. You love to see it

Appears to be picking up steam this week. Lebron buying a squad for his son perhaps.
-
@BShark Lebron is the needle right now no doubt
How bad will uk be if Bradshaw leaves?

UK would hard pivot to holland and honestly that might be a better fit at the 4 than Bradshaw…so I hope he waits lol
-
@rcjhdraft oh please no I don’t want them to get Holland he’s legit.
I want Holland he’d be the perfect 4 here. No clue why we aren’t on him more and why ark has any chance. If not us hope he goes g league as they say

Holland probably a nike guy if I had to guess. I agree with you I’d love him here
-
Holland is going to Arkansas. @kuballin10 @rcjhdraft

Why? They suck! Better than uk though
-
@kuballin10 money
-
@BShark figured - we tapped out for the most part now that we got Hunter?
Holland is insane - him with Hunter wouldn’t be fair. Mcd’s game his athleticism jumped off the screen.
Mgbako is who we need to have that stretch 4 man with Hunter. We’d have shooters everywhere around Juan
-
Going back to the high low game I would love to see Dickinson at the 5 and KJ at the 4 then Mgbako 3 and Timberlake at the 2 Juan at PG. There is going to be a lot of competition in Lawrence this summer and fall. A lot more talent overall than last year!!
-
@dfwjayhawk me too. Would love to see KJ play some 4. Fingers crossed on his rebounding this year.
-
-
Did someone say KJ at the 4? Seems like I’ve heard that somewhere before but can’t remember where…
I do have hope that KJ can be a better rebounder when competing against 4s instead of 5s for position. His athleticism is there and has shown up some in his Offensive rebounding and perhaps as a 4 the task will be more similar to attacking the offensive glass instead of wrestling for position against someone massively bigger than him.
-
don’t care where KJ plays, I just know he will play.
-
@BeddieKU23 Pretty sure 25 minutes is the absolute floor for his avg minutes.
-
Agree. I fully get the debate about position etc. He’s a unique case, he really doesn’t have a position at KU and probably most schools and yet 2 years in he’s found a way to be valuable and relied upon. Whatever he does in year 3 I have the same expectation.
-
Dam did anyone else see where Marcus Adams went off for 44 points Broke Scoring record and won the MVP at the Ballislife All American game - - Holy bat crap lol
