Next recruit up
-
Trying not to overreact.
-
@BShark you think it means Duke doesn’t want him?
-
@BShark maybe they got a peek at his high school transcripts
-
That’s what most think, but it could be jack shit, he’s an 18 year old kid after all.
-
Seton Hall fans all over it.
-
Have read throughout his recruitment that they are in fact a real option.
-
So he be like…I can go to KU and be like Jackson or Wiggins or one of the dozen plus player from KU in the NBA…or, I can go to Seton Hall and be like…hmmm…like…hmm…when is the last time Seton Hall sent a player to the NBA???
-
Samuel Dalembert, Isaiah Whitehead (news to me, I had to look it up)
-
Dalembert was drafted in 2001, Whitehead…I have no clue.
-
Seton Hall has a basketball team?
-
Bet it’s not bball related
-
Probably, which is why people going completely nuts over it is hilarious (I believe the all caps in my prior post gave it away as a bit tongue-in-cheek). He is 18, might be about a girl for all we know.

Hey, Bill Raftery coached there!
And PJ Carlissimo before he became more famous for being choked by Sprewell:
"NBA Commissioner David Stern suspended Sprewell for 82 games before an arbitrator reduced the sentence to 68 games, costing Sprewell $6.4 million and his shoe deal with Converse.
“Sprewell deemed the punishment too harsh. ‘I wasn’t choking P.J. that hard,’ Sprewell told 60 Minutes. ‘I mean, he could breathe.’”
(From ESPN Classic article)
Now that is a decisive punishment!
-
@mayjay Sprewell and the NBA was a bit out of control in that time frame. Ron Artest is another “fun” memory for the NBA. Malice at the Palace
-
@drgnslayr Back to back tournament appearances and won Big East tournament last year.
-
Seton Hall fans appear really needy with really low goals on twitter.
We could get a tournament win against Arkansas with you! Wooo Hooo!!! Round of 32 2018 here we come!!!
I wouldn’t want a player with such low aspirations. I don’t think Duval is shooting for less than a championship/NBA $$$. Show out to get paid. Winners get paid.
-
I hope some PG recruits have been watching KU ball out with 2 PGs on the floor at once.
-
I’ve have long thought that Kentucky would almost have to lose a post player to transferring, unless more went pro than expected.
Looks like it COULD be Humphries.
KU was involved briefly when he was in HS.
-
pass on that one, there is nothing to be impressed by with him. He’s pretty slow as well.
-
Yeah I think he’d be transferring down.
-
He could go to a smaller conference and make a difference for someone. Even someone like St Mary’s would be a good spot for him with with their stud C being a Sr next year.
-
MSU people think Bridges will return. That would be friggin stupid.
-
Even just a lower level P5 school ie not KU, UK, Duke, Arizona.
-
Marcus Garrett Retweeted HudlVerified account @Hudl 2h2 hours ago
@ImMarcusGarrett Congrats Marcus Garrett on being named the 2016-2017 Gatorade Boys Basketball Player of the Year in Texas! #GatoradePOY
-
And that is why MSU people are nuts in the head. There is really no chance he’s back,
-
Well, Harris had no business coming back either.
-
That’s true I think they are different players though. Bridges is the type of athlete the NBA wants and IMO is a better player. Are there any legit reasons the fans feel this way? I really can’t see Bridges passing up going around the late lottery
-
@BShark Not a single MSU fan I know (about 5 of them) thinks Bridges is coming back.
-
Their insiders seem confident too. Fans seem split. It’s a bit weird. We will see.
-
MJ Walker down to KU and WVU. WUT.
-
Their insiders would be the last people I’d believe, . If he does come back good for him, but despite the injuries he had he was stellar year and I can’t imagine he’s going to pass up on the $. He’s ready for the league physically, athletically. It will be stunning if he did go back
-
Agree, just relaying the crazy.
-
Huh? can’t be right. West Virginia doesn’t have schollie’s
-
Yeah idk, when there is more about it I will post more.
-
Behemoth McCormack mentioned KU as one of the schools recruiting him the hardest…
-
It might be bogus. Walker tweeted false information sir to a tweet that has since been deleted. The KU/WVU thing is just from his 247 profile.

Oh and excellent on McCormack. Can’t hurt that Preston is probably in his ear. Maryland will probably be in there until the end.
-
@BShark Bridges dad is the only one right now saying Bridges will be back next year.
-
Bridges is projected to be a lottery pick by just about all publications. He is as good as gone; anything else is just wishful thinking.
-
Yeah most of the info about McCormack was about Maryland. Looks like they have an edge with the relationship. Says he’s big on relationships… We’ll see how involved KU gets. The kid has lost a considerable amount of weight this year and looked better because of it I thought. I think he’s someone the staff should really be on
-
He’d be a fine get. I mean, we are starting Lucas this year.
Grimes and Dotson are the only 18 recruits I feel KU is definitely prioritizing right now. Outside of that, it’s wait and see. Going to have a lot of post minutes available.
-
This is from a couple weeks ago but Duke “doesn’t expect” Jeter to be back next year.
-
We’ll see. Doke & Preston have NBA potential that has to be realized before leaving. I think recruits might be in the wait and see approach. We might be again, relying on some high prized guys waiting until spring
But in General we should have minutes to sell…
-
I can see the logic there. It would just be great to get some good fall signings.
Looks like Nevada is the likely landing spot for Jeter.
Bolden might transfer as well, with TCU being the likely spot.
-
Adam Zagoria @ AdamZagoria 28m 28 minutes ago Tremont Waters is focused on Kansas and Duke, source says. ‘At least one of them isn’t getting Trevon Duval’
Don’t know how valid I consider that information…
-
Nevada would be a good spot for Jeter, he clearly needs to drop a level of competition.
I think he’s the biggest flopper for a big man I’ve ever seen. Leave that where you learned it.
Bolden, TCU can have him although they have stockpiled talent in the front-court. Not saying a change of scenery and a year off wouldn’t help him tremendously but he’d be competing with no less then 5 guys at the PF/C position. They also don’t have a scholly at the moment without attrition. He’s probably better then the 5 he’d be competing against but I couldn’t tell you that based on how he played/acted on the court/sidelines this season.
-
@BeddieKU23 I would take Bolden. He would have a year to sit, watch and learn. Knowing that he would be the man in 2018 would likely change his attitude. If it’s between KU and Duke for Waters, I hope Duvall gives Duke a verbal tomorrow.
-
KU isn’t recruiting Waters, according to MS on 247. So, pretty conflicting.
WELP, went to twitter. Seems like Zags got his shit corrected now.
-
Bragg might just be a mid-major big too, if we are being honest. BUT, can KU sign better this spring?
-
yup the way Bragg has played this year well I’ll just say politely he is possibly the most overrated McDonald’s All American we’ve ever signed… I’ll refrain from further comment
-
I would personally pass on Bolden but that’s going off his effort/performance this year. As you noted the year off to learn, mature, and become a better player could have a huge difference and KU could need that type of player coming into the program in 2018. If he’s available it will be Self’s decision to make…
