        I’d listen to Farmer..

        There is a few people on the site I don’t entertain most of what they post. @farmerjayhawk is the opposite, what he posts is usually very accurate info and I believe him to be one of the most intelligent persons on here.

                    Trent Perry made a jump into the top 100 of the latest rankings.

                          I think that blues musician Howlin' Wolf is red rooster. He confesses as much in one of his songs.

                            @Jayhawk_69 Are you new or just a different screen name? Since approxinfinity updated things there's been quite a few new names.

                              @wissox83 I had a different screenname before the update. I think it was Jhawk69. The update locked me out of that account so I made a new one.

                                From what I've seen, when a class like '26 looks down because the top players underwhelm, it usually means there are some hidden gems out there... and it's an opportunity for mid-majors and non-blue-bloods to find talent and become 'surprisingly' competitive. It's a time to be more reliant on recruiters with a good eye for talent.

                                  Here's latest scout on KU signee Davion Adkins. Sounds like he's going to be a bit of a project here after dropping from High 30's to #68 now.

                                  "He's a player who was identified very early because of his athletic gifts and consequent upside. He was very inconsistent this spring, so he dropped a bit. Then upon reaching Prolifc this year he had a very slow start to the season, so at this point there's a pattern of him not being as productive or impactful as he should be. Beyond that, his skill set hasn't progressed much either, so he's tracking as an undersized five."

                                    We gonna get Tyrann Stokes? ( did I say his name right?) I don't know much about him but hearing he's a KU lean.

                                      Apparently Siberian 7 footer Lazar Stojkovic is going to visit

                                        Came here to post this.

                                        February 22nd. Ohio State, Baylor, St Bonaventure also involved.

                                        Watched the video on 247 of him, not impressed overall. Limited athlete, good footwork, can stretch the floor but athletically I don't see someone ready to play here, nor the fit. Surprised this one is on our radar.

                                          I have never seen him play. Your assessment is disappointing. I got kind of excited because Siberia has been producing good basketball players recently.

                                            He's a high major prospect from the looks of the video but not a fit at KU. If we are comparing what we currently have (Flory/Tiller) he's just about the opposite of them. I want our future frontcourts to look like what we are doing now (Athletic bigs) because it works.

                                            Has really good footwork for a 7-footer which isn't surprising playing overseas. Range out to 3-point line with good looking form. Some passing skills & some back to basket skill (hook shot and good footwork). Slim frame doesn't look over 220 currently. Average athlete for his size & just not sure what he's facing over there. He's taller than most players in the videos.

                                            If we assume Flory goes Pro or doesn't return, KU is able to retain Tiller then it's important to find a fit next to Tiller & this isn't that.

                                            I find do find this news foreshadowing what the staff might be after in the HS ranks/Euro/Portal. Getting one of Flory/Tiller back is probably the most important to retain. They have Adkins signed but given his drop in the rankings/recent eval being negative lends me to believe he's not a likely big contributor next season. I think Self is going to need to add two bigs to the roster for next year assuming one of the mentioned above does come back.
