2024 Recruiting
-
Trilly just said it’s over. We’ll see how it goes…would love having on the team. But the portal will be useful and I believe we’ll have one of Morris or Jackson on the team alongside Dajuan.

I think Miami selling him on playing PG was a big deal.
-
So Bethea visits Miami and cancels his future visits, then says he has made a decision. Not super encouraging, but maybe…just maybe….that trip to Miami was a vacation.
-
It’s over, staff was informed.
-
@BShark miami?
-
Vernon saying he committed to Miami on the visit.
-
Disappointing for sure. But if we have Juan next year at PG, the position Bethea wants to try and play… well I’m happy we have Juan then.
-
Hey congrats to Laranega at least Bethea didnt commit to a ratfaced schmuck [or his vile spawn].

They tried but he doesn’t want to play with Flagg. Shot volume concerns.
-
Unfortunate but the staff is capable of pivoting. Curious who the next options are going to be, doubt Dylan harper comes here lol
-
@BShark Is Flagg a silent commit? (Or did I miss something?) Late Night visit scares a recruit away? Seems a bit pessimistic if he actually wanted to be a Jayhawk. I’ll just chop it up to a recruiting loss. No malcontents!

Believed to be a Duke lean. They apparently tried to get involved with Bethea but were turned away because of it.
-
Well if you give me the choice I’ll take Flagg every day and twice on Sunday. I’m a broken record on this but outside of Flory and Flagg I’d rather go portal for any needs. Youth doesn’t get it done nowadays.
-
is the final in home bethea visit a “thanks for recruiting me” or a Hail Mary.
-
@rcjhdraft no longer happening.

Labaron Philon visiting. NOW THERE IS A BILL SELF GUARD.

Seems better than v miller. Hopefully this is one of those recruitments where we ratchet up the pressure and the other competition is left in the dust

I think he’s a good fit as a player for Bill Self.
I know we have negative views about Bryce Thompson but Bill liked him a lot and tried to keep him. Think of a mix of Bryce and Dajuan Harris for Philon. Maybe some Marcus Garrett in there too.

Can’t imagine anyone would be mad with that. A dajuan who can get his own on the level that Bryce was advertised at is a pretty easy nba player. Hell just a taller dajuan in general is great.

BILL SELF

Steal Flagg by any means. Drop the bag Adidas
-
that switch gif being used by trilly doesn’t make sense for just some “visits”
-
The whole Coaching staff was out Monday to see Flagg- - & McNeeley & Queen. Not sure why with Queen sounds like were not really in that , but it’s ok. - -Would be nice id w could pull McNeeley from under Indiana return the favor for them stealing one of ours.- - -Anyways they seen all three & then seen Flagg by himself later in the day - -Coach is all in for sure

Nobody has a clue. Just people throwing out every single idea possible to see what sticks.
-
hmmm, is that smoke I see over thee - on the horizon? - -is it Flagg smoke ? - or is it Harper Smoke ?- - usually when there is smoke - -there’s FIRE
-
Rakease Passmore will visit KU. Hasn’t been reported yet.
-
@BShark Really like him. Talk about recruiting athletes…
-
Oh wow didn’t expect us to be getting in here. Hopefully not too late…
-

Arkansas leads, LSU 2nd. Straight from the source. Added that if KU gives him a commit-able offer for 24 (he had one for 23, but was unable to reclass) it would be “hard to say no” so things could change quickly and we all know KU usually puts on a great visit.
-
Made Emmanuel Stephens cut to 5. Arizona, Miami, Michigan and USC are the other 4. Not an elite prospect so with this list he clearly doesn’t care much about early PT I’d think.
-
Made Akier Ali cut of 5 , 6’8 Wing from IMG Academy Fl :- - Kentucky , Arkansas , – Arizona St , - Alabama , - -& KU
-
Reminds me a bit of MJ Rice. Some Och vibes. Heck of an athlete
-
@BeddieKU23 forgot, where did MJ go?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 NC State (hometown area of Durham, where he should have probably gone in the first place)
-
Good thing you knew, I had forgot he landed there
-
Made final 5 for Amier Ali , - - - 6’8 wing - -other Schools : - -Ala - - Ark - - ASU - -UK - - & KU. - in process of sitting up visits
-
Liam McNeeley is deciding between indiana and Kansas, he canceled his Texas visit.
-
Deciding between Indiana and Indiana tbh
-

Yeah kind of annoying to be used as window dressing for this
-
Bethea picked Miami yesterday. Wrong choice but to each their own
-
Portal is the best recruiting tool now.
-
Maybe but getting good recruits as freshmen is still a good tool and think the best approach is to balance that with the portal. Yes, there is a risk of them leaving, but feel like in general a freshman recruit has a better change of eventually breaking the starting lineup than if we have a 10th man who was a transfer. If they see the path for them, they will probably stick around a place like KU and if they don’t, then it is not a loss if they leave. Udeh didn’t leave until he was going to be burried on the bench behind Hunter and we aren’t going to get a transfer of the caliber every year
-
@MR11 That irritates me about Udeh. I guess the proposition of having to earn minutes ran him off. And if that little bit of adversity was all it took to run him off, I massively misread the guy (thus the irritation at myself). I genuinely thought he would be a player you could build a team around by his Jr. year. If Hunter is really all it took to run him off, I doubt he reaches the potential I thought he had. -maybe that’s just my bad talent evaluation, but I really though Udeh was going to be great.
-
@MR11 I think it is best to go after freshmen in 40-100 ranking range as they will be more patient to learn and develop.
Higher ranking kids are looking for instant gratification, which is totally acceptable for their viewpoint but difficult to achieve at KU under Bill Self unless you are in Joel/Wiggins/Rush category.
-
Agree about Udeh. Think he has a handler that made this difficult to overcome when it came to the Hunter situation. It’s rampant across the nation as far as running from adversity goes and the rules allow you a 1 time free run. I find it difficult myself to root for him now that he went to a conference foe and we may play against him 2 plus times over the next several years. Same for Bryce Thompson who left for Oklahoma St it’s just weird. I wish them the best but that’s about it.
