2024 Recruiting
-
@Gorilla72 KU is not recruiting him. Nike paid his family to NOT visit KU the first time, is a rumor out there.
-
WOW thats all I got to say about reading about Nike.— good player but ww are landing quality players. Were gonna be all right

So he de-committed ?- - So maybe some substance to Acuff possibly ?
-
@jayballer67 I don’t think they’re really related. Lack of our guys in the portal probably moreso
-
Well I just aw a little tid bit I think.- -might add substance to Acuff.–Yesterday or last night I looked at player rankings and pulled up Acuff -he was of course ranked the # 4 ranked player, & in his list of Schools he had Kentucky – - Michigan—& KU – -all warm.
Tonight I looked him up in the rankings and he had ONE School listed as warm – -and yes it was - - - - - - KU. - -The thing had switched for Kentucky & Michigan to Cool.-- Gotta believe umm ya things happening lol— -them sneaky little devils----- ROCK HALK

Uh oh. Dislike button. (For Philon, not Farmer)

And we better get a PG in the door who can run Self’s system after Dajuan leaves. Elmarko doesn’t appear to me to be that guy. Although I do remember when Mario couldn’t dribble to half court without getting swiped…

i THINK WE MIGHT HAVE HIM – KID IS A STUD, AND BUILT , MERCY
-
Not really a surprise when you think about, he’s likely behind Juan, Mayo and Elmarko in the pecking order. I’m hearing it was mutual between both parties.
-
Dodging the perverbial bullet here. Just weeding out guys that don’t really want to work for it. On his 3rd commitment of this cycle so yeah he’s not worth another sentence.
-
@BeddieKU23 Auburn, Kansas - his two colleges his HS senior year. He could have 4 more schools on his resume before he’s done with college!
-
Sounds like Bama and Baylor are the main players here. Bama roster is sparse atm and it’s home for him. Baylor is hiring his HS coach (has ramifications well beyond just him).
-
I think you can bet the farm he’ll move on a few more times. Really liked his potential as lead guard here but now I don’t have to worry
-
He wouldn’t play at all at Baylor either. Roach and incoming stud Rob Wright + 2nd year Mario Little. He isn’t going to find an easy roster. These kids SMH
-
Just curious, but has Philon officially been granted his release from the LOI?
-
Well, any news on Kugel yet? Still a Jayhawk as far as I can tell.
That’s probably the last piece of the puzzle, unless Hunter goes pro today.
-
Hunter announced his returning a while ago
-
@CasterTroy welcome to KU Buckets! Stay a while!

@SeanArcher welcome to KU Buckets! Stay a while!

Good for him - -wouldn’t fit hee with the proven experienced wings we got coming in - - Were Good

Kease is locked in. Not running from the grind at all. And believe me, other teams tried.
-
Boy I had been worried on him for a while and was scared to ask…
-

Never been a doubt.
The main guy tied to him (will be here in Lawrence when Kease moves in) told me his phone was on fire when KU signed Storr and he politely told them all no chance.
-
For anyone looking into a peek behind the curtains about avoiding tampering allegations… He said there was a lot of like…parents of players on various programs reaching out for the coaching staff to gauge interest.
-
Well for at least a year we got him locked in. Really want to see him grow here, big fan of his game but hard to even care now. I hope Bill still finds some kids that want to be at KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Two year plan but yes we will see.
-

Gladly take 2 yrs with no worries
-
fully realize it was all star game Flory - playing in Indiana and big jump to P-5 basketball, but finished really impressive -Flory finished with 34 points- - -22 rebounds - -& 3 blocked shots. Not a bad nights work
-
I’m super stoked about him. He’s so excited, loves coach and ripe for learning! Got the tools!

Who?

@BShark flory
-
@BShark what do u think about him?
-

Athletic but not overly skilled. I don’t expect too much early on.
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2024 Recruiting:

Flory is going to be a strong rebounder and possibly a strong rim protector from day 1. His offensive game leaves a lot to be desired so him playing back up minutes to Hunter is a good role for Flory this year to maximize his strengths and hide his current weaknesses.
-
That dude would be in the rotation. My goodness
-
@BeddieKU23 what year is this guy? I saw in another thread that he play in the Greek Leauge? Is he even eligible?
-
@rockchalkwyo - he was born 2006, so he’s 18 now. I assume this year’s class not next. No idea regarding the pro issue.
-
woder how serious this might be. - Legit serious or just reaching out feelers ?
-
Sounds like some contact a while back but hasn’t gone anywhere. I think we can go back to our day jobs now…
-
Dam 5 * Jeremiah Fear is re-opening his recruitment - -Originally committed to Illinois , but re-opening recruitment and -re-classifying to 2024. Chose Illinois over Providence , Ol Miss , Michigan - & KU
I think it would be to late for him here at KU right ? - -with the 2 guard we have here now , he should of committed to us from the get go , I don’t think we try to recruit again for this year, & I don’t think he would come here to play a reserve role this year do you ?
-
@jayballer67 Not sure if we could use him. Not sure why people would want to play for Underwood. He just doesn’t seem like all that pleasant of a dude.
Fears’ brother was playing for MSU when he got shot in Joliet, not fatally, but cost him the rest of the season.
Not many clues at the Champaign Room of why he backed out.

I agree with you, earlier then ye we could have used him good player – just don’t think it fits now

Providence there

Got some high scoring guy from Northern Illinois David Coit. 5’11" guard who average 20 points per last year on a poor team. NIU is my grandmothers, wifes and nieces alma mater not that thats important to you but important to me.

I wonder what happened with NIU, whole team ended up in the portal. Their top 3 players ended up at Kansas, Wisconsin and…Georgia State. Guess that’s just how it is for mid majors now.
-
@BShark Even though it’s kind of a local school for me it’s really under the radar here so really not sure why.
