2025 Recruiting
-
@BShark fall Bill is back??
-
Ament in the spring
-
Well might be nothing — Might be something , BUT I just saw off 247 rankings that Isaiah Denis is making his commit announcement on Nov 2nd.
Isaiah is attending late night here on the 18th.-- Now I could be wrong but wouldn’t you think if you were him and you already knew where you were going to play and you already had your announcement made -Why would he come to a event like late night if he wasn’t planning on committing to KU and he has made or set his announcement date ?- - Things that make you go hmmm – Close the deal guys IF it’s not already sealed.
Could be a really BIG couple of days ffor us.- - Peteson on the 1st - - Denis on the 2nd—would be sweet.
-
@jayballer67 If I were a big time recruit I’d consider visiting a few of the top schools just for the free trip and behind the curtain look, even if I know where I was going. It is just gaming the system a bit. Gotta have a soft landing spot when they transfer too.
️
-
@dylans Kids/their circle often get paid to take visits too. Been going on for a long time. Might as well.
Last part you mention is huge as well, for both sides.
-
Denis visit canceled it seems
-
@BShark That doesn’t sound promising. But at least that signals the staff where to focus.
-
Well dam. If indeed Denis has cancelled his visit then that’s not good. Really makes you wonder what in the hell has Things sure have changed happened with the whole recruiting thing. Part of or one question you have to ask is with the amount of recruits that we were perceived to be in on m akes you wonder the truth like Eric Reibe- - Did we actually cool on him OR did he cool on us ?- - - -Did We cool on Sabastian Williams OR did he cool on us- - - Have w Cooled on Isaiah Denis OR has he cooled on us ? to name those most recent three - What’s the real truth ?
Another BIG thing is - – has NIL impacted recruiting that much? - -Has recruiting just turn into a bidding war on a piece of meat ? -Do recruits not consider about the Quality of the Coach anymore ? -The traditions of Schools ? So on & so on Has it gotten strictly to the point of the Dollar ? Whoever the highest bidder ? -We are really becoming the minor league for the NBA. - -This Nil - -BS is or well on the way has ruined the College sport- - -taking the fun out of it.
What happened to the days of where guys committed to a School because the name of the School - --The Coach - the tradition , just ruins it for the average fan. How can any fan really ever get investted to a kid anymore, be able to say Dam that kid is really good and get the chance to know the kid. It’s just sicking.
-
@jayballer67 I agree, but when one does commit (DeJuan) I find them pretty dang special.

time for a checkup lol

Read from another site that names we need to focus on or be hearing about now are :
Mo , Mo Sylia- -6’10 /11 - -Ranked 30th by 247 , – - -Samis Calderon ( 1st time I’ve heard this name ) un ranked by 247 but saying late developer - -6’8 - -with 7’3 wing span athletic — & tehn o course Bryson Tiller.
Side note :- - Is it possible we need some fresh - -new Staff/ Recruiters ? - -seems like the guys might be gettin stale- - just a question.
-
Anybody got the inside scoop on who the Prep Standout fro Oklahoma is coming in for late night?- - Seen the Headline from KC Star had to pay for subscription , curious who it is. Any body know who ?
-
@jayballer67 Jalen Montonati, a 6-7, 165-pound junior small forward from Owasso
-
@dylans Kid has been to every KU game the last several years
Only a slight exaggeration.
-
Couple of tid bits I ran across. # 1 was I guess Bill and some Staff had another visit with Darryn Wednesday , probably making sure everything still good- – probably cause Darryn paid another visit to USC – -sure don’t need anther DeAndre Ayton episode.
Then read where Ament just signed a deal with Rebok - -think that pretty well takes cars of any chance we might of had with him – id we really ever did have any kind of chance
-
@jayballer67 No school uses Reebok for apparel so that won’t be an issue.
-
It’s a good old fashioned bidding war for Ament that will drag out probably into May
-
@jayballer67 taking nike out of the equation is actually great for us i think.
-
Conflicting conversation — Been hearing that there wasn’t going to be any recruits at late night tonight & yet Swain put out an article saying there was going o be three elite recruits there for late night tonight.–So which is it ?
-
@jayballer67 no 2025 guys were there, but there were some really good women’s recruits there

So the kid from Oklahoma - -Jalen Montonati cancelled his visit at the last minute too ?
-
Tiller to announce Nov 10th and down to 4 including KU… one to monitor still it looks
-
Has anyone got a feel as far as Bryson Tiller announcing on the 10th ?- - I’ve heard some , a little thinking it’s down to Ku & Indiana - -Anyone know where ww stand with him ?
-
Looks like Peterson will announce this Friday.
KU KSU USC OSU (Ohio state)
Who’s gonna win?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk good guys. Just waiting for the posts on social to come out
-
Anybody want to put percentages whether w get Peterson to commit or not for Giggles and Grins >
I’ll say 70 % – to 30 % - for the good guys. - - Anyone else ? -come on step up - -don’t get scared now lol
-
Never in doubt
-
Rock Chalk
-
His mom comes in with that Canton shirt and I about wet myself lol
-
This is a nice pickup!
-
Indeed, even if it will only be 1 yr
-
@BeddieKU23 Had that thought and hate it already. Maybe NIL will keep him in college for a while.
-
@wissox Peterson is a top 5 pick in 2026. He’s not making that kind of money in college.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 I just read an article this morning that Peterson is Actually a top three pick. so ya , your spot on

-
@CasterTroy Found out tiller cancelled his announcement, and rumor has it we went a different direction

He is not announcing today any more, per Eric Bossi.

I don’t think he lands at KU anymore.
-
After some research it looks like we are now targeting Samis Calderon.
-
@CasterTroy I’ve got my eye on you…
-
That is correct. Not as good as Tiller but perhaps there’s something there. He’s a bit old already so if he’s not a guy that can play early then hopefully he was cheap, which is the expectation with him compared to Tiller
-
@BeddieKU23 Looks like to me Calderon made quite a jump in 247. Last time I checked he was ranked like 134 or somewhere right in there, HUGE JUMP checked today and he is up to # 67 in the Nation now
-
@BeddieKU23 cheaper program piece guys can be tough to find. I think we are headed for some market correction soon however
-
Word is Calderon is announcing tomorrow
-

@CasterTroy said in 2025 Recruiting:

fingers crossed. - what time ?

FYI Samis Calderon committed to KU
Sounds like we getting a good athlete. Measurables and athletic ability sound great, hopefully he has some skill.
Calderon is a high-level athlete with exceptional length, huge hands, and a frame that is both strong and defined. He’s measured at 6-foot-8 with shoes on and has a massive 7-foot-3 wingspan and 10-inch hands. His athletic testing numbers are equally impressive with a 38-inch vertical and the fastest full-court sprint time in the entire OTE program. His physical tools are just as impressive within the flow of the game as he has easy bounce, covers the court, and has all the tools necessary to thrive on the defensive end of the floor.
