Recruiting Notes

Mario Kinsley
-
Coach is on a heater man!
Tiller, DP and Samis in a couple of weeks!
-
James Kosiki probably spelled it way wrong played both for us back in 2018. He was a walk-on in both I believe. Tiller looks like a nice get, very strong start this year
-
With Bryson’s commit-- --247 now has us with the # 3 ranked class for 2025- -Bill is on a Roll
-
Bill is on fire this fall like we’ve never seen before
Now to land a stud scoring pg (who can shoot) and a legit 4 man in the portal!
-
For those of you in the know… Riley Kugel, who was way hyped and about to transfer to KU over the summer, has started just one game so far for Mississippi State. Averaging 7.8 pts per game.
-
Old news but I have it from a reliable person that we could have landed Sylla but Bill felt he and Flory are too similar so that’s when they went harder for Tiller. Now with Sylla the price is up and I would expect him to land at Arkansas as early as this week.
-
I’ve got a new obsession. Took me awhile after Bill signed DP. Deron Rippey Jr. Need to see him in a Kansas uniform. I’m getting shades of Dotson and Graham watching him…
-
Don’t pull on my heart strings like that

Looks like they are already getting a visit scheduled.
-
Double stop! excited at the same time… Still a long ways for 26 kids but would love for this one to be our focus
-
Alijah Arenas likely moving to the 25 class. Imagine that’s not a positive for KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Arizona or Louisville

Yes.

Had to go back and refresh my memory of the Javaris Crittenton - Gilbert Arenas showdown at the MCI Center Corral https://syndication.bleacherreport.com/amp/2576918-caron-butler-details-gilbert-arenas-gun-incident-in-new-book.amp.html
-
CBSSports Mock Draft - noteworthy than Liam McNeely and Labaron Phillips were in the top 16 - a miss and a ? No Jayhawks in the 1st round…
-
Gotta love that solid recruiting of the best players no matter what cause this is KU….

Rumblings
Sherron Collins obviously sees something in this kid to bring him to Self’s attention.

Broke Ochai’s Oak Park scoring record apparently.
-
@BShark any Derron Rippey progress?
-
Saw Darryn play this weekend in Lawrence. I know BShark and others saw him as well. He’s the real deal. Dybantsa was impressive as well
Will Wade is a scumbag is my final statement
-
@TYOHawk does will wade have anything to do w/the 2 players or is that a random statement?

Guy has been trying to poach DP.
-
-
@TYOHawk Wade can coach
Also - huh go figure almost like townsends random Friday night trip to Napa signaled some rumblings……
But we can keep that off the main board even though I was right and heard it through multiple sources
-
-
He’s been trying and it won’t happen
-
Adidas just put an event in Lawrence Kansas LMAO. Adidas wants him at KU. Adidas wanted him at Prolific Prep. You get the idea…
-

Good eye for talent. If it was my lady I’d be pissed, but recruiting is war. And now you get to recruit every single player every year. Who knows what person is in their ear?
-
Do we think now with NIL that Wade isn’t that bad of a guy?
I like May, Wade, McCollum, McCasland
The oats, golden, beard crew I want nothing to do with
-
Yep the game is the game

I would listen to this guy ^

I mean that’s how the game works - no doubt But the Friday random trip out was definitely checking to make sure there was not even a hint of questioning the decision due to some rumors flying around
DP is having insane offers thrown at him even post commitment……
-
I’m very comfortable saying Self won’t be outbid for him and especially by NC State.
-
Any chance for Alijah Arenas? Would be salty pairing him with DP!
-

If he’s still here in 30 days……
NC State isn’t the biggest player - two others I’ve read

He committed to USC 2 months ago.

Man you’re worried about the wrong issue. We need bodies can you give us some minutes at the 1 or the 5 lol?
-
@TYOHawk Would love to know where he’s reading this.
-
Realistically, KU needs some portal commitments this week but that could be hard to make happen.
-
They need em just to settle down the fanbase and keep things somewhat calm in the midst of all this madness. Hell even some visits might do that.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Someone should tell the “world wide leader in sports” they say his recruitment is not very advanced. lol

Amen brother.
-
If Bill Self is concerned about what fans think he needs to retire.
-
It’s more what the recruits think! Got some really big mouth “fans” spreading gossip over on the phog.

Check the date on the article, it’s from December when he reclassified before he committed in January.
-
@TYOHawk Haha 6-3 190 lb at best a Baker or William Jewel product - D2 would have destroyed me in 1 on 1 lol
Guys don’t sign overnight - roster will fill out but the Flory and Diggy news plus others exiting is confirmation of what many could see
-

TOS 247 - guy over there saying he played aau ball and is connected in those circles still with former teammates as coaches ect
Says the third team isn’t even out there yet and happening behind the scenes. Self and staff would have no clue
Nc state hiring his coach so they are in it then him wanting to play with flory thus Iu rumors (plus they are adidas) ……and this mystery 3rd team whose name somehow hasn’t gotten out there yet publicly but is in some tight circles
