2024 Recruiting

@FarmerJayhawk So, I wonder if the kids at Branson Academy go to the septugenarian country music performances?
-
@mayjay I hear the a cappella group Six and the roller coasters at Silver Dollar City are real hits with the youths

@dylans I doubt you could afford me anyways.
Let me guess. I’m assuming you’re fairly young - less than 35 and recently married. You switched jobs a few years back, which implies you’re not a legacy so name recognition is out for pay bumps. Also you had to switch jobs to get a pay raise so you’re not at the top of the pay scale. Average accountant salaries are about 55k, I assume you’re good at your job and earn 6 figures. You work for someone; not self employed , but that caps Income. Your moniker implies you may be in the KC Kansas area, if so less than 8% of households make 200k per year. Given your stance on overcoming adversity I figure you’d last until it got hot in July at best. 3-4 months pay at 16k per month I can handle. But you’d have to be in the top 5% performance wise to command that level of pay. Let me know if you’re interested and qualified.

Ok, so I’m asking this question and not trying to be a smart ass or anything close BUT just a serious innocent question ? opinion. So don’t take it the wrong way, Just really curious Does anyone REALLY think we have a legit shot at Cooper Flagg ? - -Or is his visit just a courtesy visit and he just taking using up his free official visits?
Like I said I would love to have Flagg for sure, I just really think though we have about of much chance of him coming here as me becoming the Pope tomorrow. - -just fel he is a Duke lock, Duke has been his School that he has wanted forever, just can’t see why he would change his mind
Somebody change my mind , reasons why he chooses us intead of the School h has wanted or like forever.

@jayballer67 absolutely we have a shot. KU always NAILS visits, and we have the best coach in the sport. Never doubt these guys on the trail.

I’m available for a 200k+ per year job. I had one of those hand held calculators once years ago, but the battery crapped out on me. Can i train AI to do my work?

I love Adidas. That is all.

that’s very true, seems when Bill goes all in - - -Bill goes all in , If we could somehow pull the rabbit out of the hat – land him would be beyond Awesome. Doesn’t hurt he is coming on late night, seems to always leave an impression in recruiting. - -Only bad thing is Duke gets the last visit -fingers crossed

If you reeeeally want to know I’m 30 and I make $150k. Let me know if you end up needing an accountant in that pay range. I’m pretty good.

Could you both please get together somewhere and just measure? We need to move on… 🫣

@mayjay Usually you’re just snark with no substance, but that is hilarious.
@Kcmatt7 - Some people see Mount Everest and try to climb it. Other people are more sensible and take the road around the mountain. Udeh is going around the mountain, the greats go over.

Don’t worry soon enough we’ll be back to the sky is falling, Harris can’t shoot, Hunter isn’t worth the money, Elmarko was really a 5 star recruit?, KJ should play the 3, Bill can’t coach, Kevin is Kevin, Timberlake is supposed to be the greatest shooter since the beginning of time and can’t piss in the ocean, why can’t the Aussie play more, Mcdowell is too small, Zach shouldn’t redshirt and why did all the talent go to Christian and not rub off on Parker. Sound about right?
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m starting to think maybe KJ at the 2…
-
Larry Bird and Michael Jordan for example. Neither made any changes when things got really hard. Which is why Bird is Bobby Knight’s greatest success and MJ only retired when his basketball career was done.
-
If Udeh stayed at KU he’d be stuck in a cable car, maybe for 2 yrs. I really wanted to see him develop, hard to develop getting hunter’s mop up minutes. Dude needs to play. When Hunter got here there was a lot of talk it was for 2 yrs.
-
@benshawks08 Just put him at PG and move Juan to his natural off the ball position.

This deserved a larger audience.

Dam you nailed that. I’m trying to think of ANY you might of missed - - -hmmmmm, NOPE I think that pretty well got it covered. – - Good looking out lmao

And he’s really not that guy. I feel fairly comfortable saying Furph will end up the better player.
-
Yeah I’m pretty low on McNeeley. If we get him w/e, hope it works out. If Indiana gets him that’s fine.

You know my preferable target is for us if we take a wing.
-
Getting excited about Passmore, hopefully Gangster Bill lands that visit and closes
-
He’s my ideal wing target. Last two wings Bill had with 40 inch verticals went in the first round.
-
Passmore does a lot of Och type things for sure. Multi-year guy but athletes like that you can at least get on the floor early if the effort is there.
-
-
Passmore would be a great name for a pointgod.
-
@dylans I was going to ask if he is as unselfish as his name says.
-
So just how Serious are we in on Rakease ? - Honest question, just haven’t heard that much on him. We got a good shot , at him or is it more like a hope and a prayer ?
-
Passmore cancelled his visit to Arkansas
-
@rcjhdraft said in 2024 Recruiting:

I think a BOOM is needed here. This to me is big time, He cancels his visit to Arkansas, and instead is visiting KU. Arkansas is the School I was worried about with him. For me I think this improves our chances about 30 % higher - - ROCK CHALK
-
-
Not only did he cancel his visit to Arkansas, he will visit KU next week. Swain on 247 put in a CB for him to land at KU. Big time move here
-

He just about did a Julian Wright the other day. Staff always does super great on OVs, fully expect this one to end in our favor.

Exactly how many Scholi’s will we have for 2024 ?

Flory and Passmore both gotta be top 10 athletes in this class

Agree. Passmore has a 46’’ vertical. He also had an insane dunk on Flory in AAU.

He’s gotta be our most athletic wing recruit since Josh or Wiggs honestly. Just a ridiculous leaper

That dude is super high on both of them. He comped Passmore to Benedict mathurin and he’s talked about how flory is a Giannis level athlete.

Only coaching staff he mentioned was ours…

Sounds like KU has a decent chance at Flagg and is in less than optimal position with McNeeley. Any chance they want to continue to play together?

Hopefully the Duke claws aren’t so deep since that’s his dreamy school. My worry is that he’s entertained KU enough to get us excited but secretly already knowing where he’s going and just enjoying the visits as every kid should. KU will put on a great visit for him this weekend and roll out the red carpet. I hear our NIL is very enticing and robust here as well.
He visits Duke after the KU visit which is the biggest worry even if KU knocks this out of the park. We’ll see how it plays out I guess. Would be the biggest recruiting victory in some time if Self and co can close.
-
Hope Bill is charming and Scheyer comes off as a turd. Undoubtedly Flaggs childhood dream pictured Coach K at the helm.
-
He still has his claws in that program. Probably will be there when Flagg appears on campus for his visit.
