@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Yeah not losing sleep here. NC kid so pulling him obviously won’t be easy anyway. Not seeing KU involved with a ton of 24’s so far. A lot of kids have already moved their recruitments up and made commitments so interested to see what actual targets pop up.
Names to watch
Castillo, Jeremiah Johnson, Jaxon Prunty.
They like Cam Scott but that will be difficult.
-
Not a big list, we seem to be getting selective. Haven’t really turned my attention to this group yet either though
-
@BeddieKU23 I am guessing they will take a big, but no idea who.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 recruiting thread:
Not that I thought we really had a chance but 5 star PG Zoom Diallo didn’t mention KU in his latest update to his recruitment. Previously had mentioned interest. Looking like a Nike kid
Diallo released his final 6 that does include KU. Think this is nothing more than a courtesy.
Kansas: “ Kansas is another one of those blue blood programs. They have a great reputation of winning basketball games and making pros. Coach Self is another one of those great hall of fame coaches and Coach Townsend has done a great job recruiting me as well. It’s a blessing being recruited by one of the blue bloods.”

Kansas has offer class of 2024 @mvabasketball pf @liammcneeley30 after his strong play at the@hoophallclassic
-
5 Star PG Tahaad Pettiford will announce tomorrow. Has KU as a finalist but hasn’t visited. KU offered in October. Did get to Auburn and Uconn. Weird
-
Top 5 prospect Dylan Harper is down to a final 5 and has KU on that list. Hasn’t visited KU, he has been to Duke and Indiana already. Said he will take his 3 remaining visits after the season. Son of Ron Harper Sr and younger brother of Ron Harper Jr who was a star at Rutgers. He is in contention for the #1 spot.
-
#1 prospect Tre Johnson is considering a visit to KU. Was at UK and has been to Baylor and Texas also. Case on the case lol

That’s been the word on his recruitment since he took a visit there. Not worried about this one.

Pettiford chose Auburn. Would have been too confusing anyway.
Incidentally, FWIW, this was a proper application of what is known as “sour grapes.”

Isaiah Evans is a name to monitor.

Not yet. Staff checked in on him this week.

5-star PG David Castillo has an official visit scheduled for KU on 2/17 for the home Baylor game.
Self closing time!
-
Hope they land him. Seems like KSU is in deep as well?
-
Initial thoughts watching Castillo’s “tape” is that he has a silky sooth stroke and just absolutely pure… VERY good at pulling the trigger moving to his left (a lot of the best shooters are). Looks like he has really good ball handling.
Concerns would obviously be his size and athleticism. Doesn’t seem to be an elite athlete (that’s okay if you can shoot 40% from deep).
Odd to me a top 25 guy doesn’t have a writeup on 247. Looks to me like a 3-4 year guy that would do well in the new Self 4-out offense. Would be really nice to play him next to another PG that has some size and really make that pick and roll deadly.
-
Pretty much all my thoughts as well. Saw 3-4 year player due to lack of size/athleticism but his shot is really good mechanically and smooth and he gets set and executes really well at this young age. From the 3-4 videos I’ve watched, he knows he’s good, has some confidence about him, he can get to his spot or get his shot off with ease. For a Top 25 type guy I was thinking this is Bill’s kinda guy to develop

Yes. Coaching tie or some such.

Well for what it’s worth read where we made Nass Cunninghams final 5 : KU - -Duke - - UCLA - - Rutgers - -& Memphis. # 3 ranked by 247- - -& # 4 in Rivals. - -No CB’S Yet.

Miller is a 5 * SG & the 14th ranked player in the Nation according to 247 - -23 rd by rivals. - - The rivals forecast same thing as a CB has KU with a 38 % right now- -KU is the only listed - -Pretty solid 6’5 nice size.- -If you read the break down that Beddie put out thre you see like 3 of the guys said they wanted to visit for sure- -means we got their attention - -that’s a good thing.
I think were in prett good spot with Vyctorious though- -le’ts hope so. - - ROCK CHALK
-
A very good spot with Miller.

-
Was just trying to feel this out.- -What’s our take on David Castillo who is here from his visit this weekend ?- - -247 sports has him sa the # 25 ranked player. Do we have any legit interest in him ?- -Does he have any legit interest in us ?
Side note : - -7’2 John Bol–says that Texas , Arkansas , Texas Tech , Missouri , KU , Florida , Nebraska , USC , KSU , & Michigan are the Schools that have been reaching out to him the most. - -Really Nice Size - - Rim prottector ? – Yes ?—No ? - -anything out on him ?
-
Yes x 1 million
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2024 recruiting thread:

I’m taking it your talking about Castillo right ?

Very mutual interest with Castillo. Would be hilarious to land him over KSU all things considered.

@BeddieKU23 Is that Manute Bol’s son? A different life from Dad…who had to hunt and spear a lion as a rite to manhood, IIRC.
Edit: Not related. Damn.

Tall yes, but a twig everywhere else. Boy needs a weight room

lol, ya I don’t think I know any of the Bol recruits that wasn’t like that
-
Well BeddieKU23 wonder Castillo thought about this game and the atmosphere , being on National Tv - - I would think he would have to be impressed
-
If he didn’t he should get his head checked
-
Hope he’s not scared of the limelight. It’s a lot for some kids, others (Remmy I’m looking at you!) eat it up!!!

Yeah we have had some kids that found out they really are not about it. Bragg and Bryce both come to mind. Never know until they get here.

David Castillo spoke about his visit. Interesting stuff.
David, I have so many questions for you but I don’t need to be a rocket scientist to tell you the only choice you have left to make. We’ll find out what kind of player he wants to be when he makes it.
“The visit was great,” Castillo said. “It was great to see the game, the winning program, and their tradition at Kansas. They told me want me to come in, work hard, and be a high character guy who can be their point guard and score the ball. That is a lot of responsibility coming in from a guy like Bill Self. To hear him say those things was cool.”
"Castillo says he has not thought about scheduling more official visits. He is unsure of when he plans to announce a list cut or a decision but says he will announce when the time feels right.
“I want to play for a coach who believes in my talents, strengths, and what I can do,” Castillo said on his college decision. “I am going to come in and work hard. I am a competitor who likes to compete. I hate losing so I want to play for family-oriented program where the coach believes in my ability.”
If you hate Losing, you only got one choice to avoid that.
