2023 Recruiting
-
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

saw that - -Cuban following BUT also saw where MM was following Devonte
-
@BigBad he’d better worry more about making Luka happy

Yeah buckle up I suppose.
-
I think NBA will have to start looking at this. It could be long term tampering if you think about it. If when a free agent Cuban would have an edge.
-
I hate this back and forth. I see TOS all blowing up oh whoaa’s me MM IS going to Indiana then I see of one of Indiana Board that just ONE HOUR ago that The Hoosiers Rivals writer just put his CB for MM to commit to KU

It won’t be Kansas but newsy for the college game https://twitter.com/jonrothstein/status/1661063862127411227?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ

Cuffe was an actual reclass lol.
-
Simeon Wilcher will NOT be going to UNC.
Rumor is they will also be losing Ian Jackson who will reclass to '23 and be a Kentucky Wildcat.
-
Well, he’s visiting again tomorrow, lol.

If Hubert doesn’t win this year he’s in trouble.
-
He’s a body I guess. I think not going after another big in the portal was a mistake but oh well, on we go. KJ is going to be pretty good but still, there’s not a lot behind him or Hunter.
-
Think they should’ve got a developmental wing and another big. But if this is our roster I’m fine with that
-
@TYOHawk same. If it’s this kid or eat the whole penalty sign me up for the latter

Lol ya, he can do that. - -he isn’t bad , just not a Yahza guy. Got to understand the quality of competition he played against in his League in Kansas isn’t anywhere like other competition , now with the move the competition will be better, good 5-7 minute guy giving rest breaks possibly, unless he has gotten better

OK so here is the 1,000 question. Since one of how ever many of the players that left this yr Chris Johnson being one of them - - seeing as he was no good and then he asked for his LOI release,- -so why in the hell have we not released him yet from said LOI - -it’s been over 2 weeks since the request.
He has got all these other schools touching base with him yet we haven’t released him. - -We recruited over him , didn’t want him , --So - RELEASE THE KID for God’s sakes- - we now have media asking why ? - -just release him period.

that’s good to hear, Finally. Illinois , Indiana and others also on that list

Chris Johnson to Texas. We won the trade imo.
-
Only if the one we got in return can actually play. We probably still won even if he can’t tbh now that I think of it.
-
Wish Chris luck and hope he is willing to take constructive criticism, so he can grow as a player. He may be a lot better than he played last year due to off-court issues. I am not saying that I know this to be true, though. Personally, I don’t believe the on-court ceiling of AM outweighs the off-court questionable behavior, but I will trust HCBS knows more than I do about the situation. It will be interesting to see who made the better decision.

Johnson really stunk it up at Montverde this year. Morris at least can be an athletic defender.
-
I think Morris is capable of being a very important part of the team this year but his status is certainly far from certain with his legal issues. Johnson wasn’t going to play meaningful minutes so it’s sort of a wash if neither plays here. Although I’d have a lot of hard questions for why we hitched a ride on that Morris drama
