@TYOHawk This guys a little bit closer to us whiffing on Ayton than Williamson lol but your point still is valid
It could be hindsight but Ayton always seemed like he wanted other schools to recruit him. Some kids just aren’t enamored with KU which is crazy to us as fans. But it’s how it goes. It’s why I truly enjoy rooting for the Zeke’s, Gradey’s and CB who grew up wanting to play at KU.
-
@approxinfinity If I ever say too much just call me out and tell me to shut up. I can take it - half the board does already. I come to discuss the team and yeah I disagree with Self sometimes……
Curious to see how these guys gel and if Self can unscrew up Storr. Potential to be elite 8ish I’d say but I’m more that 32/16 range right now.
-
The Ayton whiff sure did have some ramifications. Had to pivot to Billy Preston. Woof.
-
I get recruiting happens - last minute changes - people drop bags but it sucks. Self has whiffs
Duke and UK (Cal most of his tenure there) - they got whoever they wanted and didn’t whiff
If Bill is that upper echelon now and “the man” in college bball - he can’t whiff in DP

Bullshit Coach K and Cal didn’t have major whiff in recruiting.
-
Yeah most KU fans aren’t going to remember whiffs for other schools.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Minimal compared to us thus the whole Nike vs adidas thing
Go look at their recruiting classes - loaded year in and year out with top 10 guys where if we get 1 Wiggins or 1 Cliff we are excited versus them getting multiple top guys
You can argue for the sake and claim I said they never whiffed…which I said it rarely happens and they got just about whoever they want when they want

Cal was getting his ass kicked by K on the trail for like the last 8 years tbh.
-
Wiggins was Cal’a only whiff that I cared about.
-
@kuballin10 “Duke and UK (Cal most of his tenure there) - they got whoever they wanted and didn’t whiff”
Your exact words that you’re now backtracking from because you don’t know how to deal with being called out on your takes that have very little merit to them.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Yeah they essentially did. Hardly ever whiffed - we know they didn’t get Wiggs but that’s about it. They get who they won’t and anyone can see that by going back through their classes
-
@TYOHawk I’d say last 2-3 for sure as Cal’s tourney shortcomings had Nike pushing them to Duke
-
@kuballin10 Remind me again on all Uk’s & Cal- -all those talented one & dones refresh my memory how much better did then Coach Self has done.-- Let’s see Cal won ONE TITLE with all the talent he recruited- Cal has TWO overall , Coach Self has Two Coach Self Is in the College Hall of fame if I remember right- guess he might be doing something right.- Actually probably done more then Cal with less talent - - kids that developed for Coach. - -BUT WAIT - -Self can’t Coach , doesn’t know how to handle his kids so that cant be right.
iF you go back and look since Bill has been at Ku & Cal at UK not fricken much difference. Not sure you know or not but there is a Reason Cal isn’t at UK anymore, ya go and say well Cal left on his own - ya he sure did, couldn’t leave fast enough as UK fans were ready to hang him -can someone remind me of Coach’s record at the Phog is again. Not sure but pretty dam scary, how in the hell does he do that when he plays favorites and keeps them cause remember he can’t Coach - -He can’t develop players - - AND he plays favorites -BUT DAM some how he still wins - - IT’S A MIRACLE lol

Whatever you want to believe to make you sleep at night.

We got him!

-
@BShark Aye brother I might have to retire after this recruitment. I’m getting too old for this shit man lol
-
@TYOHawk A lot of unnecessary BS with this one. Trilly, Joe Tipton etc all fed into it and played it up.
-
When his mom walked in with that Canton shirt - -thought - - Welp lol
-
He reminds me of Wayne Selden from the things I’ve seen
-
Are we still in the mix for a top PG next year?

Going to have to portal a PG
-
@BShark Elmarko?
-
@BShark What happened with Acuffe
-
So who’s next ? - - Tiller possible ?

I am reading good things about Peterson. Basically a well rounded SG with not much to nit pick about.
Some say he’s a good 3pt shooter, others say he needs work with consistency.
Some say he has a great pull up shot in the paint, others say he could get to the rim more.
Others say he even plays defense! yay.
He even says he’s working on his PG skills. Compares himself to Devin Booker.
Really haven’t read any negatives on him at all. Well done, staff!
-
@rockchalkjayhawk He’s the 2nd highest rated recruit Self has landed here ranking between Wiggins and Josh Jackson.
Peterson and Flory on the floor together is going to result in some spectacular ally-oops.
-
Theoretical world where Rylan stays, you add a PG in the portal… PG/DP/Kease/Rylan/Flory. That has uh, some potential.

I won’t complain about them until Ament ends up at a Nike school.

Hawk next week I believe. Trending towards saying that outright but not quite yet.

He has the physical tools so I don’t mind the flier.
