Recruiting Notes
-
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.
-
Samis Calderon, monitoring
-
^ the real source has spoken

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.
-
With DP in the bag, Alijah Arenas is my new most wanted realistic target.
-
@BShark just dont bring a gun into the locker room and threaten teammates a la dad.

Adidas do you have a plan for us….

Heard some good things about this one last night. Adidas + the KT relationship could get it done…

Encouraging to hear…I do think Arizona will be tough to deal with.

Samis Calderon has cancelled his visit to Kentucky and will announce next week.
-
Does anyone know , or heard - -do w think we are getting Tiller Sunday or what – would like to ge him. - -Anyone hearing anything ?
-

Does he sound more like a project or contributor early on?
-
Long term guy. But he is already 20 (there was some thought that he wouldn’t be eligible for college basketball before) so maybe he surprises.
-
@rockchalkjayhawk Ranked from mid 60s to 180s. It appears no one really knows. lol

I’m trying to figure it out myself
-
@TYOHawk He is no longer announcing Sunday.
Reading between the lines I think it was Kansas, then KU decides to take Calderon which impacts his decision.
-
Hmmm, I’m wondering if that’s the case, what did they see in Calderon over Tiller. - -Tiller rated much higher player, probably a higher impact player, kinda puzzling. -I dunno guess that’s why they are making the bigger money - -hope it doesn’t bite them in the ass
-
Calderon probably cheaper. It’s whatever honestly I doubt either guy is super impactful in the first year.
-
@rcjhdraft - -I stand corrected. Checked out some more, and was reading on Kentucky Board, he Cancelled their visit this weekend, and they talked about him being a pure athlete with a shot.- -The vibe I was getting here even though he might be a probable three year player-- which don’t get me wrong nothing wrong with that at all – sounds like he would be a vey solid addition- - -My apologies
-
Sounds like Georgia Tech for Tiller unless his group opens things back up. Auburn backed off as well.
-
Vernon mentioned we’re looking at someone else…
So I do think they take one more player…

Any idea on who??

Actually I think it’s the guy who will commit to the football team who will walk on for basketball. Jaden Nickens is his name I believe
-
Still recruiting Ament as well, but he won’t decide until the spring.
-
If Nickens plays a single meaningful minute for KU I’ll eat my shoe. He’s not a real basketball prospect. In fact I bet he’ll learn REALLY fast doing both is basically impossible and go follow where his future is, the gridiron.
-
@FarmerJayhawk He is announcing today for football – would be aa great addition , our receiving corp is losing our three studs after this Season , got to replace them. - - Hays , can take place of one but need Nickens for sure
