I’ll just go with our three man class until I hear a solid name . Then if we get the 4 th player it will be like a Christmas present and a surprise. – I like surprises.

Yeah Swain mentions another target possibly popping on the radar soon. No name yet
A certain fan base will not be happy
Is this a 24 or 25 kid??

24

All the coded references may be meaningful to those in the know, but I doubt I am not the only one who has no idea what the hell you are talking about.
-
Yeah, isn’t this the behind the wall section? Do we need a behind the behind the wall area?

lmao, sssssshhhh it’s top secret. Don’tt fel alone but it’s ok cause that way it’s like Christmas morning if e land another recruit. -I know we are still looking for another big, probably out of the portal they said.
-
Self is back man…
-
Should be a free to read article
-
-
I read at the end of the Tucker article that looks like Queen will not sign early. - - We know that KU is till wanting another big, you don’t suppose there is a chance that queen could still end up landing here at KU as we are on of his final four and he has visited here. - -Wouldn’t that be a coup if we landed both of these guys for a five man class.
-
Jayden Quaintance was going to visit tomorrow, but it’s not happening now. Just Tucker in this weekend.
-
Can’t lie I’m still elated with the Tucker news. Hope we see real movement on that front. This team could use another wing/G.
-
Took everything I had to not make an acquaintance joke

So is it not happening at all or just not this weekend…
-
No word yet

Excited about the Tucker official especially if he’s serious about College instead of potential Pro Route

Should be clarification from Swain or Bossi on this later tonight.

@Woodrow or right now!

Now we await the Self is a gangster tweet.

So what’s this about Tucker as a possible add for this season? Did I hear that right?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk indeed you did. Some logistical things to work out but it very well could happen.
-
@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:
@Woodrow or right now!
This would have made all the sense in the world for both parties, with or without Hunter. Quaintance is too young to enter the 2025 draft so he’d be here after Hunter regardless.

Even better if this can happen

Think he could play next to Hunter even tbh. He’s super skilled.

Good thing about Tuckers visit today. He will be here for the game tonight and feel the environment -see the fans , sure can’t hurt. See there is a chance of pro- -but Coach just being Coach, must be fairly interested to be making this late visit -Time for Bill to do his thing

Excellent!

Had dived into the Tucker film recently last time he was mentioned but took another spin thru his stuff. Pull jumper and midrange game are money. Good spot up shooter from 3 but not as natural there as he is on the bounce and Pull up. Good size for a wing and athletic enough to fit in the Big-12. No idea if he can defend and if joining early will give him a shot to help us this year but you can see why he’s a borderline 5 star guy. Played at IMG so he’s played high level competition in HS. I’m assuming he’s the best option on the radar to potentially have a role and not just be a practice body. Very interested if he does take this route
-
@BeddieKU23 Didn’t know anything about the kid, thanks for the analysis!
-
@BeddieKU23 Great post thanks for the info.
Would love to get him and then maybe 1 more.
Bill needs to keep 2-3 spots open every year for top portal guys.
We get any schollies back next year? Didn’t we technically sacrifice 2 this year or can we undo self imposed penalties now that ncaa stuff is over?

Yep, we’re eating 2/3 of the penalty this year so we can have a full roster next year or the year after.
-
A high level talent with an advanced midrange game. He absolutely knows what he’s doing inside the arc. The perimeter shot is good enough but will need work. Good length at the wing, probably an Ochai type ball handler that needs to improve there. No clue what he offers defensively or on the boards but is athletic enough to fit right in and learn. His offensive game certainly intrigues especially for the future. Hopefully this happens
-
Well wonder how Tucker enjoyed his visit ? - -Hope went well, I know Jeremy said he was going to hang out with a recruit ( didn’t say the name ) don’t think he can say individual name unless signed. – Anyways hope he had a good time and we can land him. - -Probably would be a spring signee getting to late for early recruits I think that ends tomorrow right ?
-
His camp keeps things very private so I wouldn’t expect an interview or anything.

Yep. Either nothing or suddenly a commitment is announced. Lol.

Lmao legitimately his camp is extremely quiet. Our best bet might be hoping to get the old faithful tweet from Trilly.

Looks like Tucker will not be a mid-year option. Swain reporting he is not in a rush to decide, won’t sign during early period and does not appear to be looking to reclassify and join early. Bummer

Logistics were a mess, would have had to join like over 2 weeks into January because of his school schedule I believe.
-
Waiting on Swain to answer but I’m wondering if he’s still a target for the staff if he stays in 24.

Appreciate you for the answer.

Yupp but I was hoping for a miracle. We absolutely still need a body. I know it may not seem like a big deal right now since the season is young but I can just see it now once injuries start leaving us with 7 or 8 bodies. Was hoping we can avoid this scenario

Definitely still looking for one. Seems like it would have to be a foreign player at this point due to logistics.
-
Vern already saying they still looking for an international player but that’s not new info. Guess we’ll let Bill cook in the lab and see what comes out before the new year.

A lot of praise for Philon on rivals for his play the past week.

I like his “wiggle”. I hope it shows up at the KU level.

He looks a lot better at shot creation especially in regards to creating his own shot than I anticipated. Honestly he looked on the same level as Tre in the game I watched.

Darryn Peterson is one to watch. Kid is the real deal and just signed a major NIL deal with Adidas.
