Next recruit up
-
The spirit is willing but the kidney is weak?
-
Little news…
Cuonzo signs at Mizzou for 7 years and hasn’t shared info on Porter’s dad coming over to the coaching staff.
Wow. What a way to start your new coaching job… dealing with the Porter stuff.
-
@drgnslayr saw his contract
-
Good points!
-
-
that’s great… hasn’t this been the mood for many months now, at least we are still playing basketball games

Blake Harris opens it up
ESPN 100 point guard Blake Harris has been granted his release from Washington and will reopen his recruitment, he told ESPN on Tuesday.
“I received my release from Washington,” Harris told ESPN’s Paul Biancardi. “The reason I committed there was the coaching staff. Now that they are not there anymore, I am opening up my recruiting.”
BILL SELF HELLO
-
Good news, Ryan/Bham thinks Harris sucks.
-
yeah, you already know how much I feel Ryan misses the point on kids. If they are not elite talents in the Top 50 he’s saying they suck. He’s a top 100ish talent, crazy
Ideally Blake at KU is the backup getting experience for the future.
-
Juwan Evans went pro for Oklahoma St (Not surprisingly)

Yeah, Lydon for Cuse also going.

He basically called him a mix tape warrior but then you watch a full game and he has 6 points. Said that UW didn’t really care. Pretty harsh stuff. I think he’d be fine at KU.
Don’t remember who the people were, but I remember a few posters in the past saying that BIFM was nothing more than a back-up PG. I’ll trust this staff’s development and evaluations over random posters.
-
I caught a few Blake Harris games in the fall that’s how I knew about him. After looking him up I couldn’t believe he was only in the 100’s on most places. He’s much better then what Ryan is labeling him and I trust that evaluation of him.
And what he’s saying about Washington is false. They lost their coach, they have no choice but to let him out of his NLI. If Romar was still here, he’d be at Washington and nothing would ever be mentioned about it. Not this “they aren’t sad he’s leaving”. Bogus stuff being put out by him there.
-
More draft declarations.
Markelle Fultz (duh) Jarrett Allen (no agent) Omer Yurtseven (no agent)
-
MJ Walker’s profile has been reverted lol.

From what to what? Do you know what the fake twitter post of his was from 2-3 days ago?
-
It had claimed he was down to WVU and KU. Which was out of nowhere and kind of odd.
-
@BShark I’d take him. I was really hoping Cody Riley’s big body would be wearing Crimson and Blue. His loss.
-
Momma won Riley’s recruitment.
-
Juiston playing at noon
-
Will be interesting to see if he sticks if Alford goes to Indiana. There could be some movement in that class that could be of interest… Spring is going to be fun
-
@BeddieKU23 If Steve goes to Indiana, what would he do without his Balls?
-
Walker is good, kind of in the mold of a Wayne Selden. I don’t think he’s leaving the South, I think Georgia Tech & FSU have him in their sights.
Riley, another talented player but we have Preston who has a much bigger ceiling and is a better player. Riley is going to be a heck of a College Player though. His size makes him unattractive to the NBA unless he adds more of a perimeter game to his arsenal.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, he’s probably going to FSU, but I’ve heard that before…we shall see.
-
That’s funny, who knows what the other Ball’s will do if Steve is gone. Most likely they stay at UCLA but with USC’s resurgence and strong class going forward we could see them skip across town.
I do think Alford goes to Indiana which is why we haven’t seen Indiana get a coach yet until UCLA is out of the tourney.
-
I think FSU needs a few players to leave for Walker to have an open scholarship. Isaac is certainly gone, Bacon is being told he’s a 2nd round pick again but he’s clearly got NBA talent… Rathan-Mayes is old (23) already and could play internationally. I think all 3 are gone but even then he would need another opening. FSU also has 6,7 guards on its roster already, although Walker would certainly push for a starting spot regardless.
Georgia Tech I think is the team to watch for him. Closer to home, Pastner has always recruited well and he had a pretty remarkable season for their standards especially with the roster he took over. There’s a good chance he could go there and start from Day-1

Probably throw a party.
-
Right now is the busy time in recruiting… especially for guys like Self who have a couple spots to fill while he has to get ready for Thursday’s game.
Coaching changes so players want out of LOIs and players leaving early for the league… It’s one big blender right now.
No time to sleep on recruiting. This is the time of year that assistant coaches really earn their keep, too.
All hands on deck.

His mom still works at UCLA. I think he is probably there no matter what.

Supposedly his coach is very tight with Huggy. Of course, WVU doesn’t have scholarships available…
Friggin Pastner.

Doke was an FSU lock.

I’d believe that about Lavar, but the boys seem ok. Man that Dad though…what a mess.
-
MS saying KU WILL look at Blake Harris if Duval does not pick KU.
-
@BeddieKU23 I agree will be interesting to see what the Ball’s do. I know it has ben said to just ignore Dad - -seems like dad doesn’t like that so much. They ran a article off ESPN, seems he is crossing a line has now brought Lebron into the conversation - -thing is he brought Lebron’s family into it, they say that’s where he has crossed the line. He said you keep my family out of your mouth. - -you talk about me it’s fine - -you keep my family out of it. - -He now has talked smack one way or another on Jordan, Barkley, James it’s crazy.- - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark Interest for Blake? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Harris was already at NC St since his release…
Duke board also saying he wants Duke to recruit him…
-
I’m sure he does being from NC. I’d rather have Duval. Seems like Harris might not wait for Duval to decide but if that’s the case, he isn’t ending up at Duke lol.
-
I guess there will be a lot of “Balls” in the air…
-
Watching Shakur Juiston, had 29 points, 12 boards, 4 assists, a few blocks in Hutch’s win.
Athletically he stands out, its hard to believe he is a JUCO. He runs the floor extremely well and is always looking for an outlet pass off a rebound. Love his quickness to guard multiple positions.
Hutch also has a lefty guard Haynes-Jones that is signed to Wichita St. He had 26 and looks like he’ll fit right in with Marsha there.
Hutch plays again at 6pm CT tomm
-
Nice play by juiston
-
Aljami Durham is reopening his recruitment. 6’4’’ CG. Crean got him to commit his JR year of HS. A bit low ranked but a solid athlete. Could be another solid Crean ditr… No idea if KU will be interested.
I believe their 6’10’’ PF will be opening it back up as well but he is less interesting imo.
-
Man, BHam is just adamant that Harris sucks. Lol.
-
Apparently Porter is asking a release from his LOI fro Washington. The article also indicates his younger brother decommited last week and the father is considering an offer to coach at MU…who could have predicted it.
Now MU with Porter will be like Washington with Fultz…still a bottom feeder.
-
@JayHawkFanToo isn’t there a rule where you can’t hire a players relative to land a recruit?
-
I am sure there is a loophole. I believe you can if you hire the relative as a full time assistant; the idea is that a program would not waste a valuable position on someone that is no qualified.
-
And I doubt he’s ever seen him play (Harris), or Durham for that fact. Blake Harris doesn’t get over 20 high major D-1 scholarships by “not being good enough”. And I would never question Crean’s ability to find lower ranked guards and turning them into something especially if they have a reputation for being an athlete as Durham does.
The pedestal that he puts kids on to be worthy of playing at some of these schools is ridiculous.
-
WOW, Mercy, Mercy, this has become a very long thread. - - -Maybe we need to start a next recruit up Phase two lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@JayHawkFanToo Couldn’t agree more, you should of heard Keitzman off Radio 810 the other day, He was so sappy, saying almost begging Porter Sr to take the MU position, Kind of funny knowing that he is a K-State guy, but he was saying " Oh what is there to think about? - -Everybody knows that this is Porters best move, shouldn’t be a no brainer come on." - - Sayin how the family has been split apart and the family hasn’t been the same since Porter and daddy went to Washington - -Man you talk about someone pleading, I think he thinks Porter will be like the 2nd coming for Missouri -dang good player but ummm no. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
-
@dylans hope he doesn’t go to ou!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 MU looking like a possible landing spot for the three Porters.
-
It’s already done for Missouri. Everything else is just noise/manufactured drama.
-
Maybe KU will win a title with Landen “not good enough” Lucas.
Fact is KU will likely need at least another guard. If it’s not Duval it’s not going to be a flashy signing regardless.
