Next recruit up
-
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.

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

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

@BeddieKU23 Yeah, he’s probably going to FSU, but I’ve heard that before…we shall see.
Doke was an FSU lock.

@BeddieKU23 If Steve goes to Indiana, what would he do without his Balls?
Probably throw a party.
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.
-
@BShark Ya, at this point there are no flashy ones left, but still could find some solid hopefully. What we Don’t need is just take whatever to fill scholi, a someone who is an end of the bench 4-5 minute player, we need someone who still is at least solid. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Well you can now officially add another to the transfer list. - -Chase Jeter announced he is transferring out of Duke. - - -Ya people saying just another case of K taking another 5 star recruit and screwing with his future - -people saying Jeter mistakes was going to Duke in the first place, He says looking to go somewhere closer to home. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Jeter officially announced he will be transferring today. I’d be shocked if it was KU.
Oh I see Jayballer mentioned it. @jayballer54 when kids go to Duke, UK or KU they know what they are signing up for. Be great or you don’t play.
-
Father says he’ll be in the Pac-12.
Interesting to note they want a school where he’ll play 30 minutes and be a featured offensive player. I just died laughing reading that. 30 minutes? Maybe if you stop flopping. Featured offensive player, maybe if you were skilled enough for a coach to make that happen. Neither of which Jeter is currently ready to do.
-
Kind of interesting, Radio 810 all over the Porter scenario. - -Being said Micheal Porter Sr has been offered position by Mu & confirmed by Porter Sr - - So they wondering why he has not accepted the offer? - -Trying to come up with reason as to why - -the only one they come up with is - -waiting on another offer - - possibly Oklahoma? they say - -Oklahoma is one of four schools that Porter lists now as he is considering - -possibly re-connecting with Trae Young, - -sure hope not- -that would NOT BE GOOD. - - Still think he ends up in the end run at Missery. - -They said another possible reason might be looking for something more then a one year deal, afraid after Micheal gone after his yr then he gone. – We shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
JT3 is out at Georgetown.
-
He says that, but I’d still possibly bet Nevada is in play.
Oh and this is from the Duke 247 site…before Jeter announced of course.
@BeddieKU23 said:

SHOCKER. Lol.
-
Don’t fret, people are just speculating because they didn’t decide in 2.2 seconds. He has to get his release first and I’m sure Missouri and his father are negotiating behind the scenes.
-
Like he certainly isn’t going to a GOOD Pac team and getting 30 minutes a night.
-
Exactly, they have some really lofty expectations of Chase if we are taking what he’s shown on the court at face-value…
-
He scored 100 points in 2 seasons in limited minutes in both. Yup feature scorer in the Pac-12 a year from now
-
That image was ripped from a premium article so probably a good idea to not repost it to the phog or somewhere with high visibility. Guess I could have typed out the percentages, but w/e.
-
Hopefully Bragg is drinking from the same crazy. Bragg is frustrating but if he is the 3rd/4th big next year that’s fine.
-
I saw that meter in the Duke thread yesterday. Was interesting to see the intel on Allen at this point, insuiating he might be back again
-
With all the bullcrap drama he might as well come back and enter a weaker draft.
-
Kennard is better than Allen, IMO.
-
Luke is definitely a better offensive player but he’s a liability on defense. I think that’s the only concern for him leaving this season with scouts. He’s also not an elite athlete nor does he have ideal size…
Allen bombed trying to be a PG both in on-court performance and mentally. He’s been exposed coming back and has IMO no chance of restoring his draft stock to where it was after his freshman year. He can certainly come back and erase a lot of concerns about his game with another year. If I was a NBA GM I wouldn’t want anything to do with him, ticking time bomb always.
-
I like how there isn’t a narrative when K or Cal have a 5 star player transfer. But when one doesn’t work out for KU, it’s all gloom and doom crap.
-
I can’t imagine anyone around the program thought Bragg’s season would end up where it has to this point. It still seems the staff has confidence in him the way they were talking him up for this tournament and what kind of role he can still bring. Tonight is another opportunity for him to impact the team…
-
If you read their board, they are definitely in negative mode post the loss. But your right, we don’t hear a lot of people talking negatively about it. If Bolden leaves though we may see some headlines…
-
Not sure what Bragg offers tonight. He got abused by Ward and Purdue has bulky bigs as well.
I moreso meant the national narrative as well as recruiting vibes. It just seems that everything bounces off K and Cal.
Bolden should honestly stay. Who does Duke have to play ahead of him? Presumably he would start with Carter.
-
@BShark ya I understand that, - -but this kid was the # 11 player in the nation that’s not cold cheese, the problem is kids like this get buried on the bench - -too many really good players that’s one of the problems where it’s just a ;loaded one and done after a one and done there are many many schools where he could of went and probably would of been a lot better off. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
This is why coaches should trust their own evals and not blindly follow what the ranking services say. Different sport but this was a huge issue for Mack Brown at the end of his Texas tenure.
Also, when Duke basically just takes nothing but 4/5 stars, well some aren’t going to play…
-
@BShark Exactly my point - - Duke is almost exclusive 5 stars, you can be good & still get buried, not really get that chance to develop. - -I kind of agree with your point also about Nevada, as was stated off zags blog, he was looking to transfer somewhere closer to home, & him being out of Las Vegas would make sense for sure. - -Hell could be he checks into UNLV maybe. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
When I saw Jeter play he wasn’t good though. Not sure if he ends up being much more than Landen Lucas at this point. Of course things can change and obviously there were some things there that made him get ranked that highly.
And to be clear he has to improve to get to Landen levels. Probably won’t do all the little things Landen does either.
-
I posted earlier about John Thompson iii in the let the firings begin - -just curious, do you think we might have any possible transfer out of G-Town that KU might show interest in? - – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
