Next recruit up
-
Groce fired.
Waters asks for his release from Georgetown LOI before anything actually happens with JT3.
TIME FOR SOME BILL SELF SPRING TIME MIRACLES.
-
@BShark Let’s see is that the Tremont Waters kid? - -We were recruiting him right? and I think we were one of his schools he was considering right? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
OK, just answered my own question. - - Tremont before his LOI his schools that were in the hunt were U-Conn - - -Duke - - -Indiana - - KU – -UK - - -& Yale.
Well if were to happen I think they Kentucky would not be there for sure anymore - - More then likely Duke would be out for sure because of Duval. - -So that then would leave U Conn - - Indiana - - KU - -& Yale, could be interesting I really would not be that concerned about Indiana I think for him, - -if anything I think it would then come down between KU & U- Conn - -but 1st has to get released, but I think for the most part schools usually grant kids their request if that’s what they want and not hold them against their will - -we shall see. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 T Waters? Yes. KU, Puke, Indiana and Kensucky.
-
@BShark go over waters again, please. Thx

-
@brooksmd YA thanks for that, appreciated. - -I pull up zags blog and seen that. - -Who knows maybe a late Christmas gift – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I tell you what there is a 6’7 kid from McPherson that is junior this year, that I’ve watched play a few times named Ben Pyle that looks better than Perry Ellis did in highschool. We need to give him a look I think.
-
@kjayhawks ewww
-
@brooksmd I should’ve gaggled it? Was waiting for that
-
@Crimsonorblue22 McPherson is gold standard in highschool basketball, ik in hutch you probably don’t like them but their coach does the best with way less talent. Made 21 of the last 25 state tournaments.
-
@brooksmd that wasn’t much info
5’10" bet he’s no BIFM I like how that’s automatically capitalized
-
@kjayhawks they just lost to Miege is BOl BOl on that team?
-
@cragarhawk no! He’s in ca.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 since when?
-
@cragarhawk all season I believe
-
@Crimsonorblue22 really… I didn’t know. Went to a prep academy I assume? Senior this year? Are we not recruiting him?
-
@cragarhawk I don’t think so, but they have Lester Earl’s kid. I watched some it on the web and that Pyle kid put up 25 vs guys getting D1 offers. Mac had their chances BM is just too big and athletic.
-
@cragarhawk Zyck said that Bol has not contacted him to explain the transfer, and that he doesn’t know where Bol will go next. 247Sports reported Tuesday that Bol is expected to play for Mater Dei High School in Santa Ana, Calif.
Jr this year
-
He visited for late night.

Don’t think UK or Duke will be in play the second time around since they have or are about to land their PG(s).

Not truly elite but a multi-year guy that is WAY better than the other realistic options for KU at this pt. Taking him might hurt chances with 2018 pgs, but a bird in the hand…

Not sure he is a D1 recruit.

He wanted the hell out of Kansas.

JRE on the other hand is a legacy and the kind of player Self really likes.
-
Arizona likely to be involved with Waters this time around. Welp just go ahead and scratch him off the list.
-
@BShark I think Pyle could be a Travis Releford type of guy. Watch Lightfoot and Ellis’s highschool tapes. Then watch him and tell me he ain’t just as good or better. Honestly I think he’s as good as Lightfoot at this time.

Perry was a top 40 player and a McDAA, this kid doesn’t have anything beyond a hudl/maxpreps account. You could end up being right, I’ll definitely go over his hudl when I have the time.
Do we know if he even likes KU fwiw? He’s from hayseed/POWERTUCK territory like Dean Wade…
-
@BShark if you r talking to d-1 I wondered about fellow Mac player-coach underwood?
-
@BShark def KSU territory, and it hard to gauge how good the teams are that he plays against but I think he could be a good get for a 4 guy. Guys like Morningstar, Reed, Trelly guys from Kansas that weren’t really highly recruited by ended up being good players for us.
-
@kjayhawks didn’t kinnamons kid go to ksu and then transfer to ??? Washburn? Not sure where
-
From what I understand Wade would have picked KSU even if KU offered.
Also yeah Self has definitely had success with skilled but not super athletic KS players like Reed and Brady. Probably kids that Self doesn’t even take if they aren’t from KS given Self’s desire to go for athleticism over basketball skills.
I didn’t mention Releford because he was a top 50 kid like Ellis. It’s been so long that I don’t exactly remember his other offers. He popped for KU early but lots of other schools were interested including a few big time programs iirc.
-
Rele and Russ Rob are on the same team in Poland now which is pretty cool.
-
@BShark I heard wades relatives were all KU fans
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The Kinnamon kid on KSU’s roster is from MACs coaches brother, his kid goes to Pitt sate or FHSU I cant remember. KSU is heavy in Mac, but I know Kinnamon goes to Bill Selfs coaching seminars.
-
@kjayhawks that would be the St. John coach.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 correct
-
Did u hear about this game? Made national news

-
@BShark Tilmon better end up in Lawrence now. He should be priotity #1. And Waters #2. Then any of the other leftovers from IU and UW when Romar inevitably ends up at Mizzou. Did Crean land anyone at Indiana?
-
Tilmon will go wherever the assistant coach from Illinois goes. Whoever gets hired at Illinois will think hard about keeping that guy just to keep Tilmon. That seems to be what has held the Illinois/Tilmon marriage together. Unless Tilmon breaks free from that assistant it doesn’t sound promising
-
Yeah I don’t think he will. Lots of people want Tilmon but I don’t think it’s realistic.
-
Huh, ya I’ll go ahead and say up front - -not really trying to read anything in this - just thought it was interesting and WHY? - - So don’t think I’m trying to imply anything just passing casual conversation more then anything. - -But still brings up a question Why?
Just receives a prediction for Ku on Truval - -It’s been a pretty much fore gone conclusion he is on his way to Duke - -so why would this guy give a prediction to KU? - -The Guy is Dylan Prezkop is how made the predict. just thoughts in my head - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 who said it was a foregone conclusion he’s on his way to Duke. The recruits that are still around are looking for their best situation. I really don’t know why any top recruit would sign a LOI until they know who’s coming back.
-
@Ralph WELL not really sure where you may have been, pretty common been known or reported that Duke is clear cut leader for him to commit - -he has come out and said how much he has enjoyed his visits to duke more then one - doesn’t really take a rocket scientist to figure that out. - -widely known Duval is duke’s top target - that was also written on today - they were talking about how Waters had Duke on his list until he committed to G-town but Duke has Duval as their top target. - -Hell he isn’t allowed to sign no LOI right now has to wait, so do to popular knowledge umm ya it has been a pretty foregone conclusion he is a heavy Duke lean - If you have been following here - -pretty much the same fore gone conclusion people feeling the same way. - -Duke has made it perfectly clear they are in need of a point guard next year - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 we’ll see, I don’t know if he would qualify to play anywhere but overseas.
-
@jayballer54 when I said I really don’t know why any top recruit would sign a LOI until they know who’s coming back. I wasn’t talking about just Duvall I was talking about all top recruits. I understand making a verbal commit but why sign a LOI before the draft deadline to pull your name. Look at Waters, GT doesn’t have to release him from his LOI.
I could really care less what you have read on zagablog or 247 about the clear cut leader. What did they say about Ayton.
-
@Ralph DAM DUDE. why the attitude? - -lmao nice - -really nice hell you wanna go that route then we can do that - -I could give a rats as what YOU think OR feel how’s that? - - I could care less about what you think now what? - -HAVE A GREAT DAY. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Almost nobody knew about Ayton. Sean Miller was doing work completely in the dark. Most recruitments are not that way and available info is pretty good.
-
@jayballer54 I said I could careless about what you read, not what you think or how you feel. Zagsblog, 247, espn right now the only people that know what Duvall is going to do is him. What they write is speculation.
-
@Ralph Exactly. That’s why I don’t get all worked up over it. It’s nice to know who KU is recruiting, but until the LOI is signed, recruiting is just another crap shoot like the Dance. I think the majority or the recruits who come to KU for Midnite Madness always say it’s crazy and would be a great place to play. But most are looking at where will I be the big dog from day one.
-
Scott says don’t expect KU to get Waters.
-
I agree. Remember the 70s and 80s when boxing was huge? Every decent athlete was going to be the next Ali or Sugar Ray and only a handful succeeded and then it was football and all wanted to be the next Jim Brown or OJ Simpson. Likewise with current athletes, every top 100 HS players considers himself a OAD and most of the top 10 believe they are the next Jordan or Bird or Magic or Curry and none of them are or will be…unless you are Lonzo Ball and your father claims your are now better than all of them combined…
Lavar Ball believes he would have killed Jordan one-on-one, this is the player that averaged 2.2 ppg in his one year in college while Jordan was averaging 35 ppg in the NBA…yes, Jordan would have died…while rolling on the floor laughing his arse off. Now he wants to sell his BBB sports apparel brand, that so far sells piece meal from a web site, and the price is 1 Billion dollars for the rights to the 3 kids, except he could not sign a contract until the youngest is out of college which I believe is in 2020; this is just laughable and setting his kids for ridicule.
-
Ball is a crazy dude.
-
Crazy does not begin to describe him…even Charles Barkley thinks he has crossed into stupid territory.
