@approxinfinity said in Recruiting Notes:
@BShark do Philon issues have to do with Acuff? Is Philon looking gone?
Yes.
His people worried he never gets a shot now. Juan/Mayo this year. Elmarko still around and bringing in Acuff. I can understand the concern.
-
@BShark yeah that sucks. Id be more excited about Philon than Elmarko, but as i think @Texas-Hawk-10 said well, off season from year 1 to 2 usually sees substantial growth, and we have a title to win next year.
-
Where does Flory play, the 5 exclusively?
-
-
So we thinkin now KU is set to keep Zach ? - -Have Zach , Flory , & Hunter holding down the 5 ?
-
@BShark Acuff >>>philon
Philon>>>EJ next year though
-
More depth
-
Sounds like Will Thengvall will be added as a walk on. Was a stud this year 5A player of the year in KS.
-
@BShark from? Kapaun
-

@BShark from? Kapaun
Yes. State champion, went beast mode in KS playoffs to carry them to the title. Older brother is at Wichita State.
-
@BShark had a good coach too!

You’d know him well, I’d imagine. 12 years at HCC I think?

@BShark damn even walk ons get commitment graphics

Looking him up and the comp I’m seeing with him is Luka. Definitely wouldn’t be opposed to this.

At the bar with Q and Doc so I’ll ask*

The name pops too. “Mr Anderson!” “He’s starting to believe!”

What season? This or next?
-
Neoklis Avdalas, born 2004. 6’7”. Says he played pro in the Greek league. Is he eligible?

Could be either I think.
I know he has an offer from KU and Seton Hall.

Darius Acuff news this week?

Darius Acuff news this week?
Boy fingers crosed, sure would be nice to lnd this guy-- -a stud on the Court --hoping for the best
-
Any magic left in HCBS this year or is the roster final? I haven’t see any rumors of potential 2024 MBB recruits in a while.

Peterson visit this week…

Hasn’t Peterson already visited us before ?- -Seriously can’t remember

We shall see. Some shenanigans going on.

DP over acuff

Acuff can’t expect us to sit and wait…
-
@TYOHawk Sounds like Swain is hearing similar in his recent update on it. This visit could put pressure on Acuff to announce soon.
-
One spot, take or leave it
-
Won’t lie I probably prefer Peterson if we’re going that route.
-
Hmmm, doesn’t it seem a bit early for the top 2025 guys to be committing? Has the recruiting timeline changed with NIL and the portal?
My two cents: not gonna happen soon for Acuff and others. I’d love to be wrong of course.
-
Soooo this ploy might’ve had the intended effect
-
And FWIW, I don’t think KU is a major player for Peterson. Last I heard Nike was the choice. I don’t think it’s on the table but I’d also love for them to gauge the interest of a reclass for Peterson
-
Nike letting us get Acuff if true is surprising…

Adidas went to bat big time here.

Gonna give them a shoutout. In the NIL era they’ve done a really good job of keeping us competitive with anyone. Flory is a great example

What makes you think Nike for Peterson? (Out of curiosity) It sounds like he was a big Kentucky fan growing up,
them getting ridCal moving on has got to change that dynamic a bit.Peterson signed an NIL deal with adidas in November of 2023. KU and Indiana both have shoe contracts with adidas. He plays on the adidas AAU circuit for Phenom United, a team based out of Ohio.

That was word on the street in the spring, that the Adidas deal was only for high school and he was going to get a big Nike deal in college. He had two Adidas and six Nike schools in his final 8 so that was a big tell. Then was going to visit all the Nike schools first until just recently announcing a KU visit
-
Peterson should be on campus today but it’s been quiet…
-
Any recruiting updates after Peterson? Acuff still mum?
-
Trending the right way for both but nothing is done. Still think 2 guys for 1 spot
-
Please get me Peterson

Sounds like you might get your wish - quite the thing going on between Acuff & Peterson

I think it’s a win win no matter if we can get one or another. However I think I would rather have Peterson, just think he is a more ALL around player
