Acuff to visit Arkansas
You should of figured- - that was coming. I had heard some thought he verbaled the weekend he was here .If IF he did, that’s quite a bit to ask this far in advance unless he is just overwhelmed and in total aww with the School.
That’s a long time for a kid especially a kid of that stature/ ranking to stay loyal to a school.-Especially verbal’s aren’t squat. You know these other Schools are going to stay on him , and stay on him hard.
I can’t blame the kid for taking aas many visits as they allow – use to be five, I think that may have changed now. I’m not going to be a hater if he goes elsewhere—good luck----I’m not saying you would be , but just saying.–Yeet my advice to those people who will, --simple message don’t hate the player----hate the game. - -kid has the right to change his mind on commit and being this far in advance, you can almost take it to the bank— that’s happening.–I seriously doubt he ends up here.–BUT wee going to be fine

NIL special: Acuff action figures on sale for the low low price of $750,000 at Walmart!
-
Yeah I can see the disappointment.
We don’t land these kind of recruits typically. Cal was heavily involved before he visited KU so regardless of a commitment this kid was still going to experience plenty of tampering.
I don’t see any reason to spend high level NIL on a High School point guard unlikely to be able to lead a Self team to a championship in likely his only yr in College.
We will see where it goes but this isn’t one to lose sleep over for next year’s class
-
Good one. Wouldn’t be surprised if Arky made those kind of pitches
-
So got a question , what ever happened with Peterson ? - -All the talk about Acuff , So did Peterson cool on KU OR did KU cool on Peterson ?

His recruiting is basically reopened Considering something’s happened around him
-
Read of TOS , that KU had offered 6’5 combo guard Isiah Denis - -R Noel, mentioned this is one we need to keep a close eye oa he also has some connections with Passmore - -we shall see
Edit – -Edit- - - Edit I pulled an ooops and said Evans - - whoopsie - -fixed it
-
Don’t really know how much stock to put into this BUT Trilly Donavan saying we are suppose to be getting another commit Tomorrow ? Didn’t give any names but that’s what is floating around – w shall see , would give us our 13th player
We STILL could use a quality 13th unless it’s just a body, and with Bill I don’t think it would be. Don’t know what Position the kid is suppose to play or what but Guess we shall see how it plays out
-
Wondering how Peterson’s visit went ? - -heard from other sources was that He was really excited about his upcoming visit with KU— plus his Dad I guess loves Coach Self sure woudl be nice
-
Sounds like good news could be coming on Acuff. Swain all but saying he’s committed. We’ll see what twists and turns are left on this one.
Also sounds like they sit in a great spot for Bryson Tiller as well who just unofficially visited. He already OV’d previously and can again this fall if need be

hmmm, I read just the opposite on Acuff this Morning. It was off a Arkansas Article saying that some guy from on 3 had predicted Acuff to commit to Arkansas, and that would mean chances were that Darryn Peterson would land at KU. , saying that Arkansas was the supposed leader for Acuff. - Hell who knows, heard NIL is playing a HUGE part in this also

Jayhawk imo
I hope he’s the headliner to this class so badly brother

KU won’t be losing many NIL battles unless a collective is going to reset the market on kids and overpay.

true, and yet I wouldn’t beet against that. I mean people already over paying for some - - -the late K/State addition for 2 Mil - -our you kidding me? - Hawkins isn’t worth 2 Mil - I think this is just the beginning. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg as far as College athletics – just becoming the NBA Minor league replacing the G league
I just hope we land one or the other, I actually prefer Peteson over Acuff- -BUT you sure wouldn’t see me have a fit if we did gt Acuff lol
-
Was reading an article came from Big Blue Nation I believes and they was during an interview with Peterson’ Dad and he stated that Kentucky had always been Darryn’s dream School - - hmmm hadn’t heard that before.
My odds on thee two - -I’d say Acuff like 50/50 u and Arkansas -and Peterson about 70/30 for us- --what you think ?
-
So who thinks we end up with Peterson ?
-
Idk, long way to go with Peterson and Acuff

That is one of the new and highly annoying things about college hoops for us fans. Teams are now apparently working under a mysterious salary cap.
I wanna know what we have to work with! I wanna know about all teams actually, and who’s getting paid what.
Not that I want more government interference in our lives, but at some point will government jump in and demand transparency?

Read where Pope is trying to make up ground and get Peterson re-invested in Kentucky. --I’m still wavering one day to the next who I want more, both really really good.-- -I just think Peterson more complete rounded player. - -I’m hearing one thing that is going to play a sufficient role is – -how is the Coach going to play him ?- -Saying Peterson wants to have the ball in his hand, wants to run the team / play PG he considers himself aa a true PG , might be a little problem point for us as I think KU is recruiting him more a a two guar aren’t they ?
Hope we can get one or the other.- - Peterson ranked the # 3 player—Acuff ranked the # 4 player, worst case scenario would be Peterson end up landing at Kentucky & Acuff at Arkansas
