2024 Recruiting

Wow we’re gonna have the 5th pick in the draft? KU hasn’t had a pick that high since JJ at 4.

It’ll be interesting to see who comes back next year.
Theoretically should have Juan, KJ, Dickinson and one of Jackson/Morris back. McDowell and Clemence back on the bench.
Really only room for one starter and one real bench piece right?
Elmarko is on a lot of 2024 mock drafts as a mid to late first rounder. Decent chance he won’t be back next year.
Yeah bleacher report had him 5th in their super early mock… Definitely getting attention and imo rightfully so
That’s the extreme high end. I’m not aware of anywhere else projecting him as a top 10 pick. But with as many mocks as there are out there that have Jackson as a 2024 1st rounder, that means he’s on NBA radars already and they will be coming to see how he stacks up and how good his playmaking abilities really are because that’s what has NBA scouts excited about Jackson the most.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yea that’s why I said either or.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 Recruiting:
Sounds like a week from tomorrow for Flory
well I know some are down on Bossi , but he broke down each teams chance and basically he said he believes it’s between us an Duke-- I mean it falls in line with him being a Duke lock, but we shal see

I agree it’s high just pointing out the attention he’s getting this early and I’m not surprised in the least bit he’s on their radar. It sounds as if he’s been as advertised in the summer so far

Well sure didn’t take Marcus long to find a new landing spot. - -Read where he has committed to Gonzaga , interesting.
-
Things are looking good with Flory
-
So weird that Marcus acts like their players are so warm and welcoming and our guys weren’t. Totally out of character for a KU team!

Boy that would be some great news, I think I heard it’s not going to be very long before he makes his decision

Love to hear that. Gotta start protecting their kids the same way Nike does with their guys.

@Crimsonorblue22 I would not put much stock into anything Marcus Adams says.
-
So what’s the latest on Flory? Has anyone heard any updates ? - -Last I had heard is that thee was talk about him possibly making a decision pretty soon. - -Anything more ?

Sounds like it will be in August. Around August 12th or so.

oh , ok thanks bud

Anyone know if we’re selling bethea on starting? I’m guessing at least one of elmarko/arterio leave after this season, and I know dajuan said he plans on staying after next season but next year’s draft sucks and dajuan has some nba appeal based on what some guys(sam vecenie) have said.

I suspect in the first few days our players were just as welcoming until they apparently ran into some major attitude issue with him. His experience here also might have, with some strong cautions from Few, humbled him a bit. Not like Few to be careless about warning signs.

Duke still getting to pick who they want even with K gone is infuriating.
-
@TYOHawk We shall see which of the Johns wastes more talent. My money is on Cal over Scheyer, but time will tell.

Don’t rule out the BRUCE PEARL BAG here.
-
Being Adidas blows. Being the 3rd favorite Nike school would get us better players than the top Adidas. No doubt in my mind.
-
@Kcmatt7 Nah we good! Give us the footer and we will be just fine. 6-8 …5 man isn’t much better than KJ down low.
I’m all for this working itself out and us being just fine in the end. Bill’s got this
-
@kuballin10 the point is that Bill has to Settle vs getting who he wants.
Makes the margin for error a bit more slim. Duke gets to bring 1st round picks off the bench lol

Exactly…Coach should be picking who he wants at this point as the active best college coach in the game by far.

And those first round picks win them nothing in college. It’s comical really.
I agree with your point but when you look at the end result, these kids that are going to Duke as 5 star type talent are there a blur and gone. They have a model that works for them that doesn’t work here
-
@BeddieKU23 I definitely get the argument that winning without experience is difficult. To some extent that is what makes the Adidas sponsorship a blessing in disguise. The 2013-2014 team is sort of an example of what a OAD turnstyle team would do under Bill for sure. And Wiggs and Embiid were TALENTS.
Still, I will always wonder what could have been for Bill if he got to handpick kids from each class essentially.

Flory announcing Saturday Night. - -How are we feeling ? - -we got a shot ? - -A legit shot ?

Flory situation is a goat rodeo. Too hard to parse. Duke writer now saying he would change his crystal ball to foggy if that were still a feature.

Hmmm , well that might be a little bit of possible good news -I know he is announcing tomorrow night I beleive, not getting my hopes up to high - -but never say never I reckon - till the fat lady sings
-
Read an Article from fan sided , saying the top 5 - -2024 recruits that KU must needs - -guys they are i on:
5 - -Tre Johnson : - they talk like not much of a chance for Trae - -Baylor seem to be the leader there, # 3 recruit - if not Baylor then Texas & Kentucky running close 2nd
#4 - -Patrick Ngongba - - -# 11 player - - - # 3 - - Derik Queen - # 10 player has a visit planned - -might be some hope there - -then # 2 player : - -Jalid Bethea , looks like this will go into the winter, no rush to decide has visit planned- - think the last of Sept. - I myslef feel like our best shots might be Queen & Bethea - -we shallo see

Need to drop Adidas if flory goes to auburn and underarmor. Smh

he not going to Auburn
-
¯_(ツ)_/¯ on this one. Think we’re better off in the portal if we need a starting big. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be excited if we got him. But I don’t think he’s a better prospect than Cliff was, and he took awhile to get going.
-
Looking like Auburn brought the right amount to the table. Pearl is a strong recruiter and apparently has a strong NIL backing his efforts.
Personally I think we dodge a bullet if we miss here. It is noteworthy how much Bill recruited him, I would guess he’s put in more time with Flory then a majority of players he’s went after in recent years. If Flory doesn’t want to be coached by Self, I think I have my answers
-
oh how quickly the tide turn- - - Brucie opening the ol pocket book- – -AGAIN
-
WE GOT HIM

I was still celebrating the Furphy commitment and now I get Flory. Bro this is euphoria to me.

At least it went better than the last one KU was involved in with a late twist (Mgbako).
-
From Cincinnati to Auburn to Duke to Auburn to Kansas
-
I will say Flory will be a little bit of a slow burn. He’s kind of a cross between Cliff and Cheick
-
Can Flory develop into a 4? That’s what will determine his NBA future. He’s got the athleticism, but can he develop his shooting range to be a 4? I would imagine that’ll be a huge part of the focus on developing his game at KU.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 not at KU. He’s a 50% type FT shooter so he just won’t be around long enough for his game to stretch. Now if he’s really 6’10 and gets to 240 then it’s a different conversation.

WOW . I didn’t even pay attention to the announcement cause I didn’t think there was a snow balls chance in hell. I saw these CB’S for Duke - -Then last night & today for Auburn lo -thought welp – movin along, huge defensive help
-
Whoa nelly…i thought he was an Auburn lock! how strangely exciting! I gotta go read up about him, catch up on 2024 class.
He’s a 5? What kinda skillz he got?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk very much just a run runner and dunker right now. Not much offensive skill to speak of.
