2024 Recruiting
-
It will be a bummer if Philon bails.
-
Coaches bail, players bail. Guess it’s now the norm we live in
-
@BeddieKU23 For me it makes the loyal cats like Harris all the more endearing, warts and all.
-
@dylans That loyalty would be why he’s decommit ting. Losing a better pg that can carry the progrum next year for a 5th year of 8 ppg and 6 assist….i mean how could we ever replace such quality production
-
@kuballin10 And if they can’t beat out that what does it say about the “superior” talent?
keep up your narrative buddy.
-
And who says it’s for sure done?
-
It is well known that Harris would be back this next year. Surely that isn’t the reason Philon is wavering. Hell Dejuan told me last year he was playing two more for KU and he doesn’t know me from Adam. Everyone knew Harris was coming back.

Yup. We need to develop a PG. Oddly just read an old Self quote that said “he can play some point”. Wonder if Self had plans to use him as an off guard more than a PG? Weird.
But, that must mean we have a portal PG locked up?

Zeke can play some point. Elmarko probably gets some run there too so Philon would be competing with Elmarko for those minutes at the backup 1-2. That being said it’s not a given he’s decommitting.
-
Another option could be he just got news that Elmarko is officially staying? Can seee him being skeptical he will see the floor much in that scenario.
-
-
Agreed, I truly don’t know if we will ever have guys like that again due to the landscape.

OH GOD for bid, don’t let certain people here , see you sayin that that would be total sacrilege lmao - -wait who said that lol
-
Bossi says Philon camp doesn’t have 2nd thoughts but obviously there’s no way to know 100%

boy you are so spot on lol, I mean you got it nailed. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell we can replace you
-
kind of like what Dylans was saying, if a player isn’t willing to compete or beat out the other Pg then what’s that say. Prove your better, settle it on the floor. to many feel they should be entitled – you want Juan’s spot beat him in competition --Don’t get Scarred now
If he stays Great—if he leaves we will be fine
-
It wouldn’t be a Kansas recruiting summer without some chaos. I predict the chaos hasn’t even begun.
Oops, hit send too soon!
Crazy scenarios:
— Hunter gets an offer from a pro team in Greece in August and leaves
— Dajuan is lured back to Missourah!
— KJ decides to go pro in rodeo
And we will do some September recruiting to fill the roster! Ha.

Philon might not but someone around him does. I know coaching staffs that have been contacted. It’s early/preliminary at this stage.
-
I trust Bill to hopefully smooth over these issues. Philon is a real talent.
-
Worth doing what you can to make it work
-
Bossi now saying there might be legs to Philon. Will see how it goes.

I think he is lagging today, no disrespect as he tries to cover everything.
-
Welcome AJ Storr!
-
Athlete! Hope passamore is good with sitting for 1 year because with Storr and Griffen we will be a bit log jammed at the wing
-
Storr! He is fun to watch. Nice addition. Who knows who’s next!
They all seem to play the same position so far?

Rylan griffen is next
-
Maybe I missed it. Is Jordan Quintance on the KU radar? He’s only 16 (?) so he had 2 years NCAA ball at a minimum. 6’9” 4 or 5. He was committed to Kentucky. 5*
-
No mentions yet, we did make a run at him prior to his first commitment.
Reportedly has visited Louisville, could visit Memphis and may also go back to UK.
-
@Gorilla72 KU is not recruiting him. Nike paid his family to NOT visit KU the first time, is a rumor out there.
-
WOW thats all I got to say about reading about Nike.— good player but ww are landing quality players. Were gonna be all right
-
Hardly knew ye Philon

So he de-committed ?- - So maybe some substance to Acuff possibly ?
-
@jayballer67 I don’t think they’re really related. Lack of our guys in the portal probably moreso
-
Well I just aw a little tid bit I think.- -might add substance to Acuff.–Yesterday or last night I looked at player rankings and pulled up Acuff -he was of course ranked the # 4 ranked player, & in his list of Schools he had Kentucky – - Michigan—& KU – -all warm.
Tonight I looked him up in the rankings and he had ONE School listed as warm – -and yes it was - - - - - - KU. - -The thing had switched for Kentucky & Michigan to Cool.-- Gotta believe umm ya things happening lol— -them sneaky little devils----- ROCK HALK

Uh oh. Dislike button. (For Philon, not Farmer)

And we better get a PG in the door who can run Self’s system after Dajuan leaves. Elmarko doesn’t appear to me to be that guy. Although I do remember when Mario couldn’t dribble to half court without getting swiped…

i THINK WE MIGHT HAVE HIM – KID IS A STUD, AND BUILT , MERCY
-
Not really a surprise when you think about, he’s likely behind Juan, Mayo and Elmarko in the pecking order. I’m hearing it was mutual between both parties.
-
Dodging the perverbial bullet here. Just weeding out guys that don’t really want to work for it. On his 3rd commitment of this cycle so yeah he’s not worth another sentence.
-
@BeddieKU23 Auburn, Kansas - his two colleges his HS senior year. He could have 4 more schools on his resume before he’s done with college!
-
Sounds like Bama and Baylor are the main players here. Bama roster is sparse atm and it’s home for him. Baylor is hiring his HS coach (has ramifications well beyond just him).
-
I think you can bet the farm he’ll move on a few more times. Really liked his potential as lead guard here but now I don’t have to worry
-
He wouldn’t play at all at Baylor either. Roach and incoming stud Rob Wright + 2nd year Mario Little. He isn’t going to find an easy roster. These kids SMH
-
Just curious, but has Philon officially been granted his release from the LOI?
-
Well, any news on Kugel yet? Still a Jayhawk as far as I can tell.
That’s probably the last piece of the puzzle, unless Hunter goes pro today.
-
Hunter announced his returning a while ago

@CasterTroy welcome to KU Buckets! Stay a while!
