Sounds like Tevin Mack is going to be the last piece of the #kubball roster, though I wouldn’t rule out a 5th year or juco guy

Tevin Mack reportedly down to KU and UT. My guess is he is waiting on Jaylen Brown. If Brown goes elsewhere, I expect Mack to KU. #kubball

Exchanged a few text messages with Tevin Mack’s mom this morning and she has plenty to say about #kubball. Shay

Although Tevin Mack made U-O visit to @UGABasketball over the weekend w/ older brother, @TexasMBB & @KUHoops remain teams to beat.
-
@Statmachine like what?
-
@Statmachine can’t figure if he wanted to follow smart, why is he waiting so long?
-
@Statmachine brown did go to Cali.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes he did. Mack is 4 year player and a NEED for the WUG! I hope KU snags him.
-
@Statmachine you said he was waiting on browns decision, that’s what I was wondering about.
-
@Statmachine and what did his mom say??? You left us hanging!!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I copy pasted a Tweet from someone else. I know Brown went to Cali so now we wait and see if it pans out?
-
Mack’s mom said something about KU pushing the hardest saying “they really need him”. If the crystal ball means anything we are really behind Texas (smart angle) and Georgia who he reportedly visited. If Self’s interest is that much he must really know something about our perimeter that we don’t.
-
@BeddieKU23 The crystal ball does not mean anything to me any more! That same crystal ball had Brown at a 5% chance to end up at Cali. Most of those experts follow ever high school athlete in every sport so when they see someone closest to the source make their predictions everyone jumps on the band wagon. Doesn’t mean that expert has any relevant information. Could be a gut feeling which obviously means nothing.
-
@BeddieKU23 I think it’s chicken salad that shaka is now trying to steal out his players from VCU. Furthermore, I don’t think we should have to tell any kid we 'really need him". We’re KU, dammit. We’re looking for the guys that say “I really need you, KU”.
-
I agree there’s basically what 3 to 4 guys who get some information like Meyer and such and then everyone follows suit after the fact of Meyer making a pick. But I wouldn’t say that its useless or means nothing because usually it gives you an idea where kids may end up.
Brown said very little so the speculation he was going here or there was never factual information. But the limited info that was out there didn’t point to KU at any point and nobody had him going to us even though we made his top 5.
The Cal pick is shocking to me because I only thought he was interested if Rabb & Swanigan both went there. Swanigan was always a Mich St lean from the beginning so I just thought it was odd that that they won out. I don’t view Cal as a team to fear and I do think he will go pro after 1 year no matter how much he says he wants to stay and develop. Kids with his talent don’t pass up on the money.
-
I have been following all of the 2016 KU recruits (or scholarship offers) and I could make a lot of assumptions based off of their twitter posts. Some of these kids are commenting heavily on UK so I could make the assumption that they are going to UK and that’s how most experts decide on their CB predictions. Same with KU BUT if Cheick and Bragg are still around next year do you really think all of the big guys leaning towards KU will commit to KU? I doubt it. The CB is a good measuring stick when kids are talking BUT if their not (like Brown, and Wiggins) most of the picks are just band wagon picks because some kid says they had a great official visit and said they loved the coach and program.
-
In this case I think its KU saying that we need this guy and not so much the other way around. It’s not like we were involved the first time around with him so the mutual interest is coming from Self’s choice to make him a priority. Remember he’s the backup plan to the back up, back up back up plan.
-
@BeddieKU23 If i was Tevin, and I had selected VCU first, and was then offered by Kansas, I would’ve broken a finger calling Coach Self back to gladly, and joyously accept.
-
UK will have a strong 16 class, a lot of top prospects in their area.
KU has a lot of targets as well but guys like Bolden, Ferguson, Fox, Herard, and others are guys that we’ve been in on for some time. I know Self is after the big fish as well but I don’t view him as having much of a chance with them. Josh Jackson keeps getting thrown around as a KU lean but zero info to back that up. He’s more likely to skip College than end up here…
-
I agree but he signed with Smart before, got out and the one school he was considering before KU and Georgia got involved was Texas. I wonder if he will stay loyal to Smart or break his heart and play for his rival. I don’t have a good feeling that he would do that but I’ll never be able to predict 18 year old kids minds either.
-
@BeddieKU23 You have to remember Smart walked out on his obligation for the kids that play for VCU so I don’t believe that Mack has any obligation to follow him to UT. If KU is the better option in Mack’s eyes he will commit to KU. Loyalty works both ways and Smart left him hanging first.
-
@Statmachine great pt!
-
Interesting, neither ESPN or 24-7 Sports have KU as having offered; KU is not even in his list of schools.
-
Good eye, thanks for posting that.
-
I THINK HE WUOLD DO GOOD AT KU

Tevin Mack will likely visit Kansas soon. This is a good sign #kubball
-
I have been watching Tevin Mack’s FB and Twitter all day. BORED
-
@Statmachine thank you!
-
Hearing Florida has met or will meet with North Little Rock guard KeVaughn Allen today. If Self brought in Tevin Mack and KeVaughn Allen it would really kick it up a notch! I have heard from the rumor mill Self is interested in KeVaughn Allen if he transfers.
-
Chip Miller @BLUEChip_Miller · 20h20 hours ago
2015 Florida signee KeVaughn Allen will wait until Florida hires their next coach before making a decision on his future, per a source.
-
Recruit Hawk @RecruitHawk · May 1
KU could be going after former Florida commit KeVaughn Allen if he reopens his recruitment. Top 50 player nationally. #kubball

Thanks for the video! I haven’t watched much of Tevin but seems like a smooth player. The only thing negative I saw from that video is that he seems to be a below the rim player… Or maybe I’m reading into that breakaway layup too much.
-
@CaptnMo this is bad to say, but I thought he looked like a ball hog against a small weak team.
-
Not the best highlight reel. Obviously not a OAD, which isn’t a bad thing.
-
He looks like a solid multi-year player with pretty general skills, not too specific. Good base to build on and he may still be adding inches.
Don’t know anything of his defensive capabilities, he probably hasn’t learned much of that in HS. Coaches look at attitude to assess potential for becoming a hardnose on the ball.
I’m all in for Big Mack!
-
I would take a http://www.loyolaramblers.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/milton_doyle_819406.html right about now! Our KU transfer became the first player in Loyola’s program history to lead team in scoring (14.9 ppg), assists (115, 3.6 apg), steals (38, 1.2 spg) and blocks (23, 0.7 bps).
-
This is what I say when ALL of our players leave!
-
It has been fun watching Milton do so well after leaving Kansas. He just wasn’t going to see the floor enough and have a big enough role to develop into what he has become now. We could all see potential in him, but sometimes it just isn’t in the cards for a guy to stay where he won’t become a big time asset.
Glad Milton took on the challenge to pursue another program, and very happy for him and his success!
-
I’m anxious to follow AWIII this year.
-
@wrwlumpy Me too! I am anxious to see who HCBS signs late? Mason, Graham, and Doyle were all 3 under rated and late pick ups by HCBS. All 3 are solid players! I am glad we have some depth in the front court because there are fewer talented un signed bigs out there. Fewer diamonds in the rough at 6"10and up. There are still some untapped under the radar and under 6’6" kids out there HCBS can pick up.
-
he will be making his announcement next week
-
Interested to see if Tevin Mack is visiting this weekend. Not much confirmation he is, but there was one source last night on Twitter.
-
he will be visiting Texas This weekend
-
He had a good time at his visit to Austin
-
“Former VCU commit Tevin Mack did not orally commit to Texas on his unofficial visit over the weekend, his mom, Paula, tells Zagsblog.com. Mack, a 6-foot-6 senior wing out of Dreher High in Columbia, South Carolina, is still considering KU and Georgia. He’s also had Clemson, UCLA and West Virginia on his list of schools. Last week, Paula said her son would hold a Skype conference with KU’s coaches, who would take Tevin on a video tour of KU’s campus and facilities.”
Wow… we compete with a video tour? Doesn’t sound too likely for us, but then, the video tour of the new apartments might finally help us land a recruit!
I wonder, with all their money in Austin, what the player dorms look like?
-
Just switch the video to this Link and give him the Fax number to send his LOI.
-
@drgnslayr what spot or whose spot does he take for Texas?
