There could definitely be some smoke with Arenas. For anyone who isn’t already aware, he is the son of Gilbert Arenas, who had a signature shoe with Adidas and Adidas will still put out retro Agent 0 shoes from time to time. KU could be in a pretty good spot there.
But, his dad also played at Arizona, so I have to imagine they will be a big factor in his recruitment as well.
KT is in there deep as well. I know there is some message board banter about why does Bill keep him etc… But he definitely earns it.

He’s got a really tough gig. It’s always been a truism in recruiting that west coast kids are the toughest to pull.

I’ve been praying for a backcourt like that. Pure bucket getters

Random thought for the morning - Did you see the documentary about the Asian fellow who likely inspired the
meaning - he was nude for the show and they used an eggplant to blur out his junk.Edit The show is called “The Contestant” it’s on Hulu. I haven’t watched, but thought the premise was wild/horrible.
-
-
@dylans I did watch the documentary about him. I cannot imagine living like he did. The producer of the show was a huge a$$hole and took advantage of this guy.

Another Shak Moore type to be the primary back-up imo

Is there an expected commit date for Peterson?

@dylans said in Recruiting Notes:

Last I heard Peterson at one point was not in a hurry. Now sounding more like might get done sooner then later, still visiting USC --was scheduled to take official to Ohio State but now going to USC instead of Ohio State- - -not sure if he plans on visiting Ohio St or not. – His dad said that Darryn getting excited and looking like announcement may not be way off, might get done Basically the only other thing I heard that Darryn’s dad really like Coach Self & Darryn actually got pretty excited talking about Coach Self. One other thing was Kentucky was trying to sneak back in with their new Coach Pope.
Peterson had already taken a visit to Kentucky when Calipari was still there, but said he was still interested in Kentucky but would have to get to know the new staff and more likely to visit the School again - - Still think we are in good shape though
-
@dylans said in Recruiting Notes:

Shortly after the USC visit. Purely speculation of course, nothing officially listed at this time.
-
Side note he’s not coming here so I can say it. But was listening to a college hoops podcast. It sounds like the going price for Dybantsa is between 3-5 million. BYU is in the lead there…
-
Uhhhh 3-5 million dollars? You have got to be kidding. For one year? and for a 17 year old with no college experience? Insane.
-
BYU is throwing insane money out there. They lead for another kid I am forgetting his name but highly ranked. Apparently their coach being an NBA guy is also helping in recruiting.

@BeddieKU23 Yep that’s it, thanks.

Sounds like a quitter, man.
Rhymes with about-ta-quit so that checks out
-
Isn’t it pronounced “hitting a jackpot”?
-
Rumors are out that Acuff will be committing next Friday. Arkansas is the choice
-
New offer: Keyshuan Tillery.
Love his game and the fit with Billy goat. Talked with a friend that saw several full AAU games this year and we are both hoping he ends up in Lawrence, KS.
-
Sounds like KU is deep in it with Eric Reibe
-
Peterson cut his list to 4 today as well. KU, Ohio State, USC and KSU.
Dybantsa visit this week as well…
-
@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

Sounded like a very impactful visit that kind of went under the radar. No complaints if we press and push to land him… we need lots of dudes for next yr
-
There’s a lot of Hunter to Reibe’s game.

Hunt had the recruiting hat on apparently.
-
Not really sure how much it effected his thinking BUT Reibe did cut his visits to Kentucky & N Carolina right after his visit was complete here , very true we could be in deep. Thing is playing ime is critical to him, he wants that time. -How would that effect Flory ?
-
I know we are losing a lot at the end of the year, however I think Coach is right on the cuff of a MONSTER recruiting class . If the right pieces fall into place , if everything goes like we would want- -way things kinda looking like - -could be HUGE , might get quite interesting. NIL very well place a big factor for these kids.
-
Is Reibe good? On his last 6 games his big scoring outputs are coupled with a negative +/-
-
@dylans hard to say. Depends on how you weight FIBA vs German pro ball vs American HS ball. He has jumped 100 spots in the rankings this summer so clearly he’s doing something right
-
@FarmerJayhawk The foreign pro leagues are so inconsistent. Svi didn’t really seem to benefit other than that was the only way to develop at a pace similar to US high school.
-
Read last night where Tounde Yessoufou trimmed his Schools don from Ten - to Si Last night. Not that this sets off any whistles and Alarms for us - - we did make his six.
He cut Tennessee which they said was a surprise as they had been perceived as the leader for him . He cut them , Arizona , Ucla & Washington.
His list of six is KU - - -UK – - U Conn - - - Baylor – -Southern Cal - -& Arizona St. – Kentucky I guess is now the perceived leader- -goof player , but we are still in on many.
-
Predictions rolling in for Sebastian Williams Adams to KU.
-
@BShark official visit Friday the 13th? Hope he’s a nightmare for the rest of the league.

Music to my ears

A solid 4 man to have in the fold with potential to be a better shooter then KJ for sure.

Better rebounder too
-
I know this is probably old news but, I read where Hudson Greer up his visit date to KU. He is coming in Oct 4-6th , Guard top 30 according to on three, would this be someone we would take ?
Also read off a U Conn article, U Conn writer didn’t even mention Indiana I think it was a Slip, was talking about Reibe. Said U Conn KU and someone else-- I think Indiana still in the race. - -Anyone know where we stand with him.
Found he dropped Kentucky & N Carolina the visit here , you would think that has to be a good thing right ?

The fire is still there with him and I love it.

Who are they pursuing now? Any top talent left on the radar? Transfers have changed the way you want to recruit too. It’s nice to have college experienced players coming in.
