Bill RE: Next Season
-
@BeddieKU23 FWIW, I have seen that we might have some interest in this Chris Smith, I personal don’t know much on him, haven’t kept up on what we are saying on him BUT - -FWIW, I just read that the last two CB’S from 247 predicted him to UCLA - -shows us up 60- 40 over UCLA but like I said they just gave the last two predicts to them. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Seems like the smoke is for UCLA as they are getting him to visit this week. Wouldn’t be surprised if he commits
-
@BeddieKU23 ya, go figure. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Someone smart said UCLA was in there too when KU and TCU were mentioned. Can’t remember who though, might have been Ryan Noel.
-
One of them did say that. Looks like UCLA was able to weasel the first visit.
Not really sure why he’d go to them when they have Wilkes/Ball at SF coming in, plus Riley/Hill at the 4.
I may have jumped the gun saying he would commit but there hasn’t been much talk about Smith and what his decision timeline was or if he was the type that would pop after 1 visit.
-
@BeddieKU23 I freaking love Keene. The guy is a monster.
-
Had a 40 point game again the other night. I believe he tied Adam Morrison for the lead in such games in a season. Crazy good
-
@BeddieKU23 I play in a little college fantasy basketball league, and you pick a lineup every week. The catch is you can only use the guy once. Keene was my first player used.
-
KU has offered 6’3 Combo Guard David Duke. Could possibly be a reclassify to 2017.
Currently a 3-Star guard. Very athletic from video I found.
Schools after him (KU) Nova, Cuse, UConn, Florida, and NCST.
-
@BeddieKU23 That isn’t a 3 star if those are the schools after him.
-
He is currently. He, athletically could be a 4 star. Being in the 18 class for right now but willing to move up in the right situation.
-
@BeddieKU23 Link to a tape?
-
on 247 ranked 173rd in the country. Switched schools to Cushing Academy this year a known D-1 producer.
Another vid, his coach says he was 5’6 as a freshman and now pushing 6’4,6’5
-
-
Oh, great, David Duke might play for KU. Must have been recruited by the yell leaders who did that photo… (jk)
-
I knew someone would be here with the reference!
-
@BeddieKU23 I saw the name and not the photo… I thought the original DDuke was just a faded nightmare until he became a recurring one this past year. PTSD!
-
@mayjay I’m afraid we’ll be hearing a lot more of the nightmare one of him.
-
David Duke? I would have though he would be a MU lean…

Lol at his ranking.
-
I don’t think many national people have seen him. He was at a small school before Cushing. If he doesn’t re-classify he’s probably one of those guys that just shoots up the rankings. Reminds of Vick in his situation.
-
I’d love for him to reclassify and then pick KU.
And yeah I see it difficult for him to not be top 75 if he doesn’t reclassify. If he does the rankings are often done hastily so who knows. Would be a good get which is what matters.

2nd video.
-
The want meter just went up 100% after that 2nd video. He’s definitely a 6’4ish guard now.
I see coaching has worked on his shot. In his soph film he dipped his head before going up, now you see the long release as one smooth transition.
-
@BeddieKU23 So is this kid a possibly safety net in pace of Young if we don/t land him? - -I see you say combo, but think we are good on combo next year aren’t we? - - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I can see a lot of Vick in him…
-
@BeddieKU23 So, from watching my thinking maybe, another Devonte? - -Can shoot some outside jumper, - - drive the ball a little bit, makes some nice passes ? - -Devonte again? - - -Yes ? - -No ? - -Maybe?- -Just what I thought first glance.- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 Ya my meter went up to since the 1st one I saw, now not so much Devonte lol - - -looks pretty dam athletic. So do we think he might re-classify? - - Never ceases to amaze me how these names just keep popping up out of the woodwork, - this would be nice - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
No idea what option he is.
Just sounds like KU is the latest program to enter the picture. The talk is he might be able to move into the 17 class in the right situation. If he doesn’t then he will be a heavily recruited 2018 option. I imagine the East Coast schools will have an advantage with him. He went from having offers from Brown and Rhode Island among others to KU, Nova, Cuse, UConn, etc. Tells you how much he’s improved his game.

I’d like to see KU get this kid even if Young picks KU. Should have the room but would he do it is another story.

“From the point of having no offers, it has been motivation. I went through some injuries but I haven’t allowed for any of that stuff to hold me down,” the Cushing product stated as he then rattled off those remaining in touch with him the most often. “Creighton, Providence, NC State a little bit, Kansas talks to me every game day, Northwestern a lot and Rutgers.”

Chris Smith to UCLA.
