Ok so lets see if new recruiting thread
-
Somewhere in the prequels. Coach K and Duke aren’t in the original trilogy. Most of Duke’s success has come recently with K (as compared to the longer histories of KU and UK).
Edit: And I’m referring to the order in which the films were made rather than the chronology of the Star Wars universe.
-
LSU fans are bitter.
-
Probably all the losses to Alabama taking their toll.

K is Darth Maul.
Oh wait, It might be Laettner…

Does anyone trip anyone in Star Wars? If so, we know who Grayson is.
-
It’s a trip!

Well I’m seeing where some other schools picking up some CB’S for my boy Emmit Williams - - -Damm -Hell even Oklahoma state has got some, Florida pick up some so now according to that we are bringing up the rear again.
I’m just curious, I wonder if the strong possibility of us maybe landing Robinson plus having Lawson on the horizon is steering him away? - -I know Williams and Robinson don’t play the same position but still just curious. - - - And whz up with Oklahoma State where the hell they coming from on this? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Okie Lite hired on an assistant with big time AAU ins. Same reason they lead for McCormack.
At the end of the day I don’t think Williams is a Jayhawk.
-
@BShark because…?
-
Not for lack of trying from KU. Good chance he doesn’t leave the state. I also don’t think he wants to go anywhere to sit on the bench which he would be doing at KU.
-
@BShark I have to disagree with ya there, if Emmit came here he wouldn’t be sittin the Bench or at least not for any long stretch by any means - to much of a talent sorry.- - -he may not start but he sure not going to riding the bench for very long periods. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I mean not starting, and he definitely would not start. Dedric will start next year.
-
@BShark ahh, got ya - -what is it coach says doesn’t really matter who starts the game it’s who is in at the end of a game come crunch time that matters - Start is just a word. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I would bet on Dedric playing 30+ minutes next year unless he messes it up with off the court crap. If KU gets Williams I will be happy, pleasantly surprised.
-
Read on other site that we offered Dontarius James to lure Zion Williamson. Is this old news?
-
@approxinfinity ya heard that awhile back when we started pulling oredicts for Zion - -Coach Self been getting Lit up pretty good for doing so from opposing Teams - in particular Kentucky, talking about how smudgy it was You know those guys lol - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 well hold on, remember back when we were recruiting DeAndre Daniels out of IMG Academy and offered his lesser known teammate Jamari Traylor? We know how that worked out for Jamari.

I believe Christian Garrett was taken as a walk-on to help get Daniels.
Googled and yes: http://www2.kusports.com/news/2015/mar/01/man-faith-basketball-bible-study-highlight-senior-/
It was hoped KU would also land Garrett’s best friend, IMG Academy’s DeAndre Daniels, who ultimately decided to attend UConn and now plays overseas.
Self says the bottom line is he has thoroughly enjoyed working with Garrett, who also was an IMG teammate of KU junior Jamari Traylor.
“Christian has been great for our team, great for our program,” Self said. “He’s been a great ambassador and representative of what we’re trying to do. He is our spiritual leader, without question. Although I haven’t been to one of his services, I’ve listened to him many times within the confines of our team.”
-
Well not that this comes as any surprise but just read where Bagley is going to announce where is committing to tomorrow night at 10:00 p.m. on ESPN. - -Not that surprises us at all as we knew he wasn’t landing here, and since he didn’t make a visit to KU or Kentucky.
I had thought he was a Duke commit, but a good point was brought up, as he will also discuss his re-classification - - -Duke starts school at the end of August I believe while UCLA doesn’t starts a little later, it says they offer something the other schools don’t - - quarters - which would help him get what he needs for re- classification - -so anyways there you go, NO SUPRISE - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Just saw that about Bagley too. Does Duke even have an open scholly? Curious if anyone knows what their situation is.
-
Just went back to check on Bagley for sure, the thing UCLA can offer that the other schools cant’ - - quarters. - - -Bagley is still taking classes to finish degree - - - Duke and USC start at the end of august - - UCLA starts School in the end of September - -so he could work on finishing up classed for yet another month. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@RockkChalkk Not sure if they do or not, BUT looks like maybe UCLA might have an edge with them not Starting Class till the end of Sept, something that might make a difference for Bagley. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Scuttlebutt is Bagley to USC.
-
@BShark maybe a little surprise to me anyways. - -I figured Duke, that’s what seem to be the talk, then this about UCLA but doesn’t really matter - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I read the three schools are Duke, UCLA and USC. Looks like he likes California so it does not look good for Duke.
-
Bagley to USC makes zero sense from a playing time perspective. 2 NBA forwards on their roster already.
He starts at Duke. Bolden already proved he was a project. What a saga this kid has led on
-
Jalen Carey tentatively coming for Late Night. I don’t think he’ll make it with his other visits lined up really early compared to this one.

If Dotson and Grimes commit by then (fingers crossed) he certainly wouldn’t bother.

Good point. Dotson will definitely be announcing before Carey potentially gets here. We might be out of it after that announcement
-
Ouch! This guy has an agenda.
-
@hawkmoon2020 The comments sum it up -poorly written.
-
@BeddieKU23 Kind of like you watch Duke will now be out of the picture for Garland since they got Trae Jones and Duval. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Zion Griffin will visit during Late Night. Kid exploded this summer. He is already down to 4 and imo it’s us or ISU. HOWEVER he is a wing and obviously KU has a shot at Barrett and KING EMPEROR ZION WILLIAMSON. Soooo, will Griffin wait? Can he commit to KU today if he really wanted to? Tough questions that I don’t know the answer to.
I really like his game though, and he’d be a 4 year player.
-
It was kind of shocking that he cut Illinois. I think he wants Kansas. He has visits set to each school, KU is the last visit…
-
Oh and when I say exploded I mean he went from fringe top 200/unranked to TOP 75. Kid can hoop. ISU fans are rightfully a bit upset that KU might steal him. They even hope we land Barrett or Williamson instead.
Here is some Griffin for your viewing pleasure.
-
@BShark Nice, and a lefty? - -sweet - -of course I’m kind of bias as I’m a lefty. - -looks like decent hops, nice jumper, so you say he is down to 4 schools? - -which are the 4 other then Ku & Iowa State I guess, the other 2 are bud? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark I read that it’s KU - -Iowa State - -Illnois State - - -& Pitt, also read where we got the only CB right now so we are at 100%. gonna be interesting. What do we (KU ) do? - -247 lists him now at # 83.
I mean this is probably more of a sure bet but how does that effect Barrett - -Williamson? - -I mean the obvious is that it doesn’t - but we are not sure of the amount of Scholi’s. - - Surely be better with Barrett or Williamson - -but in reality I don’t think Williamson will end here - -Barrett - -I don’t know. - -what ya think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
And there you have it boys & girls. - -Bagley re classifies & announces DUKE. - -What a surprise. lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Yep not surprising. We could have used him.

No this is not old news we did offered James
-
Mitchell Robinson announces his intentions to attend KU! Or so I expected to read by now. Wtf?!? Bill must’ve cooled his jets by asking for a commitment he wasn’t willing to make without considerable consideration.
-
Soon.
-
Well Zags Blog had the little article about Zion Griffin listing his four schools and his listed visit dates. - The one thing that I read and slaps me right in the face is - - He says he doesn’t have an exactly date for his commit but has a deadline date of end of September, and this is what sticks out to me he says - - UNLESS he likes a School so much and feels ready to commit on THE SPOT.
Hmmm this strikes me as we have a really golden opportunity right here, he is visiting here what I think the 15th of Sept? - -Late Night right? - -Late night has always been a big recruiting tool in the past, recruits have said repeatedly how the environment was crazy couldn’t get over how loud it was. I would have to feel if he really has interest in KU then it would not surprise me in the least as a matter of fact it would stun/floor me if he didn’t commit that night/ late night when he was here on his visit - taking in everything considered, he will see the crazed fans, how we love our basketball - -our team, how recruits get treated while they are here on that weekend. - ya I could very easily see him committing on the spot. - -what ya think? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
IF KU turns up the heat I think he’s a Jayhawk. However is Self going to take him before Barrett and King Zion Williamson announce?
If you are referencing the article I think you are he called KU a dream come true…
-
Another thing is, I think ideally he is a take along with Williamson or Barrett. However…to get Williamson his friend may have to be a take…
-
And I mean…
“After I take my officials, if one of the schools that I’ve already got my eye on, if they basically show me that I’m a bigger priority than what they’re saying then I’m going to make my decision toward the end of September or start of October, one of those.”
Come on…
-
@BShark This was an article that I read of zag’s blog just about an half hour ago - -just a little piece they had like three different players and talking about their schools, in this on Zionmentioned hi four schools when he was taking the visits and said If he liked the visit enough hand he was ready to commit he could commit on the spot. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark See this is one of those situations possibly as to where here we have a pretty decent player, like you have said probably a 3-4 year player that will contribute and probably constantly improve through the years, has good hops, decent shot, a player that exploded this summer and probably will continue to move up some, here he is and say he is ready to commit after his visit to KU.
Like you say do you take him right then? Or do you put him in a hold pattern and wait for one of the other two - that you have no guarantee that is going to commit to KU in the end run? - Thing being if you put him on hold and then it turns out neither Williamson or Barrett commit, your taking a chance on the kid still being there to take. - -kind of like what to do -what to do. - -a pretty dam decent player that saying wants to come right now solid pledge to commit OR take the risk - maybe he comes maybe he doesn’t. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I don’t think he wants KU so bad that he would hold off on committing from ISU if KU plays it too slow. You never know though. I think he’d be a great get.
-
You take a player like that and develop him (ala Vick) unless it severely hinders recruiting. Zion Williamson and Barret wouldn’t be scared off unless there is no spot for someone’s friend…
