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 wouldnāt be eligible for college basketball before) so maybe he surprises.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Ranked from mid 60s to 180s. It appears no one really knows. lol

Iām 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, Iām wondering if thatās 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 thatās why they are making the bigger money - -hope it doesnāt bite them in the ass
-
Calderon probably cheaper. Itās 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 donāt get me wrong nothing wrong with that at all ā 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 weāre looking at someone elseā¦
So I do think they take one more playerā¦

Actually I think itās 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 wonāt decide until the spring.
-
If Nickens plays a single meaningful minute for KU Iāll eat my shoe. Heās not a real basketball prospect. In fact I bet heāll learn REALLY fast doing both is basically impossible and go follow where his future is, the gridiron.
-
@FarmerJayhawk He is announcing today for football ā 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. Wonāt mind tbh.
-
If someway Bryson did still commit to KU , Iām sure Coach wouldnāt be saying to him ā No we donāt want you ā -Iām sure he would take Bryson in a minute and would be a SWEET get. not sure Iām 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 Iām hoping then Bill is taking no PRISONERS

You know where to find me brother
-
@FarmerJayhawk Isnāt 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 Brysonās commit-- --247 now has us with the # 3 ranked class for 2025- -Bill is on a Roll
-
Bill is on fire this fall like weāve 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 knowā¦ 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 thatās 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.
-
Iāve got a new obsession. Took me awhile after Bill signed DP. Deron Rippey Jr. Need to see him in a Kansas uniform. Iām getting shades of Dotson and Graham watching himā¦
-
Donāt pull on my heart strings like that

Looks like they are already getting a visit scheduled.
-
Double stop! excited at the same timeā¦ 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 thatās not a positive for KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Arizona or Louisville

Yes.

Had to go back and refresh my memory of the Javaris Crittenton - Gilbert Arenas showdown at the MCI Center Corral https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2576918-caron-butler-details-gilbert-arenas-gun-incident-in-new-book.amp.html
-
CBSSports Mock Draft - noteworthy than Liam McNeely and Labaron Phillips were in the top 16 - a miss and a ? No Jayhawks in the 1st roundā¦
-
Gotta love that solid recruiting of the best players no matter what cause this is KUā¦.

Sherron Collins obviously sees something in this kid to bring him to Selfās attention.
