^ the real source has spoken
Hawk next week I believe. Trending towards saying that outright but not quite yet.
-
He has the physical tools so I don’t mind the flier.
-
With DP in the bag, Alijah Arenas is my new most wanted realistic target.
-
@BShark just dont bring a gun into the locker room and threaten teammates a la dad.

Heard some good things about this one last night. Adidas + the KT relationship could get it done…

Encouraging to hear…I do think Arizona will be tough to deal with.

Samis Calderon has cancelled his visit to Kentucky and will announce next week.
-
Does anyone know , or heard - -do w think we are getting Tiller Sunday or what – would like to ge him. - -Anyone hearing anything ?

Does he sound more like a project or contributor early on?
-
Long term guy. But he is already 20 (there was some thought that he wouldn’t be eligible for college basketball before) so maybe he surprises.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Ranked from mid 60s to 180s. It appears no one really knows. lol

I’m trying to figure it out myself
-
@TYOHawk He is no longer announcing Sunday.
Reading between the lines I think it was Kansas, then KU decides to take Calderon which impacts his decision.
-
Hmmm, I’m wondering if that’s the case, what did they see in Calderon over Tiller. - -Tiller rated much higher player, probably a higher impact player, kinda puzzling. -I dunno guess that’s why they are making the bigger money - -hope it doesn’t bite them in the ass
-
Calderon probably cheaper. It’s whatever honestly I doubt either guy is super impactful in the first year.
-
@rcjhdraft - -I stand corrected. Checked out some more, and was reading on Kentucky Board, he Cancelled their visit this weekend, and they talked about him being a pure athlete with a shot.- -The vibe I was getting here even though he might be a probable three year player-- which don’t get me wrong nothing wrong with that at all – sounds like he would be a vey solid addition- - -My apologies
-
Sounds like Georgia Tech for Tiller unless his group opens things back up. Auburn backed off as well.
-
Vernon mentioned we’re looking at someone else…
So I do think they take one more player…

Any idea on who??

Actually I think it’s the guy who will commit to the football team who will walk on for basketball. Jaden Nickens is his name I believe
-
Still recruiting Ament as well, but he won’t decide until the spring.
-
If Nickens plays a single meaningful minute for KU I’ll eat my shoe. He’s not a real basketball prospect. In fact I bet he’ll learn REALLY fast doing both is basically impossible and go follow where his future is, the gridiron.
-
@FarmerJayhawk He is announcing today for football – would be aa great addition , our receiving corp is losing our three studs after this Season , got to replace them. - - Hays , can take place of one but need Nickens for sure
-
Hold
-
Reasons to believe Tiller will be a Hawk after all. May just have to tune in tomorrow
-
Ha posted in the other thread about that before seeing this one. Won’t mind tbh.
-
If someway Bryson did still commit to KU , I’m sure Coach wouldn’t be saying to him – No we don’t want you – -I’m sure he would take Bryson in a minute and would be a SWEET get. not sure I’m feeling very good about it- -BUT NEVER - say NEVER Maybe Coach can pull a Rabbit out of his hat
-
Hawk

Nice to see Bill help out the football program here though.
I know Michigan State had a guy successfully play both sports but that was over a decade ago I think. Definitely hard to do.
-
Tiller Hawk ? - -If this what I’m hoping then Bill is taking no PRISONERS

You know where to find me brother
-
@FarmerJayhawk Isn’t he goint to be a walk-on for the basketball team?
-
@Jhawk69 yeah, if a guy is on football scholarship it only counts for football
-
@Kcmatt7 what was that last guy that played both, forgot his name, fairly big guy.
-
Mario Kinsley
-
Coach is on a heater man!
Tiller, DP and Samis in a couple of weeks!
-
James Kosiki probably spelled it way wrong played both for us back in 2018. He was a walk-on in both I believe. Tiller looks like a nice get, very strong start this year
-
With Bryson’s commit-- --247 now has us with the # 3 ranked class for 2025- -Bill is on a Roll
-
Bill is on fire this fall like we’ve never seen before
Now to land a stud scoring pg (who can shoot) and a legit 4 man in the portal!
-
For those of you in the know… Riley Kugel, who was way hyped and about to transfer to KU over the summer, has started just one game so far for Mississippi State. Averaging 7.8 pts per game.
-
Old news but I have it from a reliable person that we could have landed Sylla but Bill felt he and Flory are too similar so that’s when they went harder for Tiller. Now with Sylla the price is up and I would expect him to land at Arkansas as early as this week.
-
I’ve got a new obsession. Took me awhile after Bill signed DP. Deron Rippey Jr. Need to see him in a Kansas uniform. I’m getting shades of Dotson and Graham watching him…
-
Don’t pull on my heart strings like that

Looks like they are already getting a visit scheduled.
-
Double stop! excited at the same time… Still a long ways for 26 kids but would love for this one to be our focus
-
Alijah Arenas likely moving to the 25 class. Imagine that’s not a positive for KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Arizona or Louisville
