2024 recruiting thread

First thoughts from seeing Isaiah Elohim. - - I think I could get to like this guy — -real quick , big time stud. - Handles the ball really well looks like , Coming in with a College Body looks pretty stout , got some ankle breaking moves , quick first step , big time finisher at the rim -decent shot - -ya check - - check - - - & check
-
Yeah he’s big time. Not sure we really have a chance there due to his school etc but shoot your shot!

ya might as well right ? - - can’t dance if your not on the floor lol
-
Marcus Adams top 3 today, think KU will be on it.
-
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but Marcus may actually end up in 23 class (his original class). If that happens, I think we have an even better shot given J-Will, Gradey & Kev are moving on from the wing. Adams is physically ready for the next level
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah worth noting it is his original class. Bossi said we would take him in 23. He would fill one of our main needs and we could attack the other in the portal.
-
@BShark Im curious who will shake free in the portal. This KU team would look much different without McCullar.

Yeah it’s a different game now. We have a starting spot to sell, I’d bet we get someone good.
-
@BShark With the portal set up this way Bill might dominate this decade. Solid roster construction with one or two OADs - one being a transfer and one being an Uber talented freshmen this year.
-
I did some early scouting of the portal, and I didn’t come up with a lot of great options for replacing the trio right now. Self has had a lot more success with transfers from P5 schools, so I gave up looking for good players on mid-majors. When the portal gets cooking it will be a lot easier to focus on.
Since College Ball is down overall, the available good player pool might actually shrink this year. There’s going to be less 5th and 6th year guys floating around as those guys continue to exhaust their covid eligibility. In Self we trust as usual this offseason.
-
Marcus Adams has cancelled his top 3 announcement and the Syracuse visit. Commitment is coming soon.

Yeah I wouldn’t want to guess who we get. No one would have expected McCullar before the season ended last year.

Oh crap - - not good probably. Probably UCLA
-
I know doesn’t really mean squat -a tinkers dam but FWIW - - Rivals shows Adams forecast as a 75 % KU. - - 247 shows of his 5 schools of interest only shows UCLA warm the others cool. - -Thing is with these is like on 247 those list of 5 top Schools get posted early early in recruitment - -A lot of times the school the player ends up with isn’t even one of those top 5. - However get this feel he is probably UCLA. - What’s your feel BShark ?
All I know IF he were to commit here - -WOW what a sweet class that would be with Jackson , McDowell , Johnson & him
-
I think UCLA will be very hard to beat here. Wait for the Trevor Andershock crystal ball.
-
Damn but announcing after visiting us, would seem like we at least influenced that?

He and his family loved the visit per Bossi. It’s us or UCLA if I’m betting.

Dang that’s pretty quick - -Visit starts at UCLA tomorrow - hate it they get last visit and him announcing right after - could lead to announcement of adrenalin. lol probably not but them getting last visit is a bonus for UCLA - -Hate to say but think he is their’s

Adams now ranked #29th after today’s update in the 24 class.
Why he moved: Out on the West Coast, nobody in the class of 2024 made a bigger impression for a move up the rankings than Marcus Adams Jr. did. A 6-foot-8 wing with the ability to play inside or out, he’s got plus athleticism, deep range on his jumper and some real swagger to the way he plays the game. The buzz began with some monster performances for Harbor City (Calif.) Narbonne during the fall and then Adams spent the winter lighting up scoreboards all across Southern California. There’s a chance that he could end up reclassifying to 2023 but for now he’s planning to play during the spring and summer and if what he did during the high school season translates, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him make another leap.

Ha, I’ve driven by his high school a lot, as my mom lives a block or two away. If I head down there soon I’ll stop by and give him a pitch to become part of the Jayhawk family!

pretty dam good player
-
UCLA. Not official yet.
-
Least surprising news from a Cali Kid.
-
-
Really weird I was just on 247 - -looking at Player rankings , came across Adams - WTH – the dam thing said he was announcing in like 2 hours and 53 minutes on his commitment watch -I thought he was announcing on the 7th & why would he be announcing so late tonight ? - Well 2nd thought with him being on the West coast they are 2 hours behind us so it would make that an 8 :00 announcement something weird about that
-
@jayballer67 It’s tomorrow, 247 just didn’t have the right time set.

Oh Ok was wondering - thought that would be really weird.
-
Little side note. - -I see our ol buddy has raised his head up – Chris Beard being mentioned heavily for the Ole Miss job. - -Him and another guy, say they have been in talks with him - -Yay , he gets hired by Ol Miss he will get a chance to Coach against Texas in the SEC lol
