Now it’s just a matter of hanging onto him until we get his Signature on the dotted line, not having someone come in and swoop him away from us. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting: @BShark said in 2021 Recruiting: https://247sports.com/Player/Micawber-Etienne-46082252/ Offer might be coming here. PSA Cardinals… Could have picked a better AAU program to piss off tbh…

@dylans said in 2022 Recruiting Thread: @BShark Bill and staff are having to work at it. They’ve been pretty darn good at identifying under the radar talent. Unfortunately that’s going to have to continue as the top recruits aren’t beating the doors down right now. Agree. We were lucky with Bryce but the rest of the last two classes Self has had to fall back on his talent evaluation. The good news is, I think he is still pretty good at it. Braun has surprised early. I like what I see from Tristan if he can figure things out. I’m not too sure about Gethro and Jossell but they are end of the roster filler for now. If offers are any indication 21 isn’t going to be any different. Outside of Tamar Bates (who I really like) I’m not sure who we have a good chance at. Would love Tchikou but there is no way that happens. I know Kendall Brown likes Kansas a lot but if it comes down to money

KUSTEVE said: @Kcmatt7 I assumed Charlie would be better, and that Devon would be worse. Devon was much better than I could’ve dreamed of- never seen a freshman point guard come in from Day 1 and play like that. Look, I hate to say I told you so on both counts…wait I don’t hate to say it at all. :p

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Football Recruiting: @jayballer73 said in 2020 Football Recruiting: Well checked it out and 247 has us ranked like 56th class. - While that is far from great, it sure is headed in the right direction and better then we have had in awhile right ? - -Again ALL FRESHMEN and then you add in these PWO’S and then all them colored shirts lol - -hell I’m not sur what all the different colored shirts even mean lol - as long as there is no PURPLE SHIRTS we good lol. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY Definitely a positive step. We beat 10 P5 teams as of now, which is big. Need to step it up a notch in 21 but I like where we finished. for sure a positive step up. - -247 has us at 53 - -BUT rivals has us at 48th and 8th in the Big 12 - -I can accept that for this year for sure

@kjayhawks Whack job.

@jayballer73 have some people gone after you for your grammar? sure. I’ve been on your side when I see that. This is different; this is about making it easier for people to read at a glance. It’s formatting that is specific to how the board works, and not obvious. Nobody thinks any less of you for not formatting your lists. JayhawkFanToo was just suggesting how to get the formatting right, and his suggestions were correct. To answer your questions, when you post those lists, yeah I can read it, but do I struggle? Would it be a lot easier if you put the extra line breaks? Absolutely. I don’t read them when I am in a rush because it takes a lot of looking back and forth to figure out where things line up. So respectfully, you’re tripping on this one, and nobody is talking down to you. Work with us man, we like your lists.

@dylans said in 2020 Recruiting: @BeddieKU23 Coronavirus? Obviously a big part there

@JayHawkFanToo I believe your posts in particular also provoke the famed “howling!” reply.

dylans said: @jaybate-1-0 How about Western Kentucky’s fantastic recruiting run? Snags Coleby away from KU, nabs Mitchel Robinson, now Bassey. ————— Anomalies logically beg for explanations of why they occur by those bearing costs asymmetrically. I haven’t studied WK, but it appears to need research to find an explanation. The need for explanations, combined with the capacity for explanations to make many persons reject the legitimacy of anomalous phenomena, is why TPTB spend so much to control the explanations by controlling courts and media. TPTB want to be perceived as legitimate, so most will willingly comply with the biased outcomes TPTB enable that serve their agenda and interests. It is much easier if we go along willingly (that is called “power”), than if they have to make us comply with “force.”

@BShark wouldn’t surprise me - -looks like he has the tools , continue to develop - -looks like has the makings of some game. - – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BeddieKU23 said: BShark said: KSU commitment: https://247sports.com/Player/DaJuan-Gordon-46055176/ Very solid pick-up for Bruce. He’s perfect for Bruce. I knew I wouldn’t like him Looooool

@mayjay Lots of walk on players. I believe the roster at the KU website lists 105 players. My point was that if there are scholarships available, graduate transfers from major programs is a good option since they are immediately eligible and hopefully ready to contribute and lock the scholarship for only one year…better than picking up JuCo players. Others obviously disagree.

For those wondering KJ Lawson is a redshirt Soph next season. Received a medical waiver for a heel injury suffered in his freshman year. “A heel injury limited K.J. Lawson to 10 games in the 2015-16 season, forced to watch his brother Dedric win the American Athletic Conference’s rookie of the year award from the sidelines. K.J. was, however, granted a medical redshirt and an extra season of eligibility, and last season, he captured his own AAC rookie of the year honor.”

HOF Coach at the 2nd winningest school in history seems to get the recruiting scraps year after year and has even resorted to a Transfer Pipeline. Dots connected. I also think a factor is that a lot of kids just want to go where they are guaranteed playing time. Bill won’t do that.

@kjayhawks As a fan, the Sprint Center experience with great seats along with the Power and Light District is really nice. As a player, an arena that looks so different that AFH can be a negative and I read the players do not like playing there. The advantage of playing at AFH becomes a disadvantage when playing in the newer, larger arenas.

Well guys I know this is quite away out but still thought I would pass along found kind of Interesting: - Read today where 2021 Kendall Brown a 6’6 SF from East Ridge Minnesota was talking about visits and he said he had three he wanted to take. - -one was Wisconsin saying that they were close and a lot of Minnesota players went there , I forget at this moment who the other one was but here what I thought was kind of cool. The third school if you haven’t already figured was KU , this was what was interesting: - He said KU was his dream School when asked what he liked about KU he said pretty much Everything. The best part yet was he said that he had played in a tournament here in the 2nd grade and that ever since that - - his dad said that ever since they played here in the 2nd grade - -the 2nd grade ! ! ! ! that KU is the School he wants to play for - I mean Dam - -JUMPIN - -GEE - -HOSSIE- -TOADS that’s some long time wanting to play lol. - He is currently ranked # 22 by 247 sports with the CB - just found that pretty neat, so looks like a name we might have to keep up with see how things shake out. - -Looks like all we have to do is show some interest and might be one of those no doubters if we have the need at the time. - -Haven’t offered yet but I’m sure somewhere down the line we might. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Doesn’t mean anything per se but Jalen seems waaaaaaaaay more excited about his KU offer than Baker.

@JayHawkFanToo While true you could technically comp just about any player not at a basketball factory like Oak Hill that way. When there is a clear cut best player (usually the case with a sought after recruit) then they are going to have to ball a loooot. That’s why stats really do not mean much and it’s about evaluating skills and how you think they will translate which is an inexact science.
