DEVON DOTSON WHOSE COMMITMENT TO KANSAS WE NEVER DOUBTED
-
“He actually followed two Bleacher Reports guys and the other one has nothing to do with Maryland. So probably has nothing to do with Maryland and more to do with an interview or how he’s announcing his commitment or something.”

Its sickening to think that he could make that choice. Winning must not be important. Development must not be important. Publicity/Spotlight must not be important. Playing time must not be important. Tradition/history must not be important.
Playing with a buddy, that must be the most important thing.
-
Let’s not get paranoid this doesn’t mean squat as far as I’m concerned. - This guy following Devon if anything following to see if he can getan inside scoop about where he is leaning or committing. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Following is who he follows. Followers is who is following him.
-
Ahh, if he comes to Lawrence I’ll welcome him with open arms. If he goes elsewhere I’ll wish him the best and enjoy watching him lose to KU if/when they play.
-
I don’t see where he’s following this person having checked a few times…

This guy is a video programmer for Bleacher report - I think people trying to read WAY to much out of this - -I’m not going to jump off a cliff from a twitter post. - If it DOES turn out he goes to Maryland, wouldn’t mean KU gonna shut down, silly commit - hell ya - Maryland offers NOTHING as far as putting players to the next level compared to KU, can offer nothing as far as exposure, tradition. - -Only thing they have is proximity to home and a friend playing there. - If again he doesn’t want to compete for a spot - -just have it handed to him then soo be it - -cya - - But I don’t see the fat lady anywhere in the neighborhood, little lone warming up her vocal cords, let’s not panic. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The fat lady doesn’t even know where he’s going. Looks like she’s gonna have to sleep around to find out

Its the first person there when you follow the link posted by @BShark . There is a hashtag “goterps” in his bio. If you checking his profile from a mobile device it doesn’t show up, on computer it does.
-
@RockkChalkk @BeddieKU23 @jayballer54 Yeah I don’t know what the deal is with it not showing up on mobile. But definitely, Devon is following this guy. Seems like info starting to leak that Maryland is the choice but it all might just be speculation based on that. What a fun recruitment this has been to follow…

I’m sure you are already aware but just to clarify for everyone, its ok if he follows the guy, its the timing of the follow that is critical. He follows tons of KU players, writers, etc. too but if this is his most recent follow, like in the last 24 hours, it can certainly be viewed a bad sign.
-
Nothing is leaking. People are seeing things where there’s nothing, just to fill the information void.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Hope you are right.
-
@BeddieKU23 Lmao, you a nut lol - -that’s funny. - -Just saw Ayala had ANOTHER CB to Maryland - -I’m thinking something different makes me think Maryland has found out Devon not coming there and that’s why his CB’S are picking up it’s leaking out - -I’m pretty sure if Dotson was committing to Maryland or Maryland was pretty sure they would pretty much tell Ayala let him know hey - -We have our PG I can’t see Ayala committing there if Dotson is there probably end up at Illnois. - - I ain’t seeing it right now, something not adding up - -When I watch the video - -THEN I’ll be convinced my boy going to Maryland - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It appears to be well known that Ayala is a Terp IF needed. If they get Dotson, expect Ayala to be an Oregon Duck, and a huge CB run to Oregon before hand. Until then, people will pick MD because that is Ayala’s first choice. Not sure where you got Illinois from.
-
I thought Ayala was more of a low end Grimes. A 2 guard that wants to play point
-
@BShark He has always been in for Illnois. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Incorrect.
August 10, 2017: Leaders Named
Eric Ayala names top 9: Arizona, Georgetown, Indiana, LSU, Maryland, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon and Syracuse
September 01, 2017: Leaders Named
Eric Ayala names final 5: Maryland, Miami, Ohio State, Oregon, and Syracuse
Tell me where you see Illinois here.
-
Have to roll and laugh with some other posters from other sites. - Can’t believe how some are getting so worked up because he is following some video guy off twitter lmao. - Like one says OH SHIT he following this guy from Maryland, like he said pretty dam funny Hell he following another video guy from Rutgers too look out he must be going to Rutgers - -DARKHORSE lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BShark Like Aaron said - - R - - -E - - - L - - -A- - -X you gonna be fine lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 It’s not a different guy. The same guy went to MD and Rutgers. He is following another BR guy, but he has no affiliation and doesn’t work on the edits.

I’m fine. I was just letting you know. Maybe you confused Eric Ayala and Ayo Dosunmu? Illinois is heavily involved with Dosunmu.
-
One thing that I’m seeing this year that haven’t noticed as much in the last couple of years, and that is seems like ALOT more of these kids are committing early instead of what seemed like the last couple of years.
29-50 in the top 50 have committed this fall and still almost a month till early signing - -then 34-50 in the range from 50-100. - -for a total of 63-100 players in the Nation have already committed this fall just seems different this year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer54 Yep, definitely. In part it’s because of lower tier schools heavily targeting and prioritizing kids early. It has forced the blue bloods to adapt as well. Used to be you could wait and hope to see more development, but not if other schools are pressing hard early on.
-
Eric Ayala will announce Saturday at 5pm. Guessing Dotson announces before that.

@BShark Lotta KU love in the comments (including HEM sticking up for the ladies of KU). I don’t know that it means anything, but Devon’s ego should be properly stroked.

Eric Ayala picking up all kinds of CB’S for Maryland. - -I just got to believe he knows something - -his camp - -something has leaked I feel. Keeping fingers Crossed for my boy - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I like that Dotson had the 2 teams in person to tell them their decision. Follows with what they have done the whole recruitment which is be transparent with the schools they were considering. The one thing that would suck for KU is to fly in and be told we’re not coming to KU…Fly thousands of miles for a big pile of the fat lady’s dooo doo @jayballer54
So far no CB action, really seems like nobody knows. Look for Maryland’s guys to put in for Maryland today because they have nothing to lose at this point. He’s doing it at his school so unlikely its a video announcement which became all the rage yesterday with that twitter follow.
I wish I felt better about this. I really want him but I’m used to the disappointment that recruiting is. There is nothing for finishing 2nd for these kids.
We’ll see

It’s the fat lady claiming KU to Dotson
-
Well holy crap. - -Looks like the Daily Kansan trying to screw up our recruiting royal - -saying the FBI has file/documents on KU and Adidas. Whether true or not couldn’t of come at a worse time with Grimes and Dotson. - -The Kansas asking to see reports or something to that effect. FBI saying they couldn’t release because of on going investigation.
I truly hope there is nothing to this and that the Coaches make sure these recruits are fully confident that nothing going to happen - like others have said this could screw our recruiting BIG TIME. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well Damn , After reading posts off the Phog , the fat lady might be stepping up on the stage for KU. - -I swear to GOD if the Daily Kansan screws up things with our recruiting because of some lame bullshit story - -heads need to roll. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The way I understand it, if any adidas school asked the FBI, maybe any school or paper, they would get the same answer.
-
How in the world did the UDK editors let that get published? It is a non story for right now. They got a general document back that basically said we don’t have to give you anything right now. UDK students trying to get people using “Gotcha” journalism tactics by saying this stupid letter somehow contradicts what the school has been saying. So dumb. So so so dumb. This is damn near High School level journalism and we are supposed to be a top Journalism school in the country.

Later in the letter, FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy states, “This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.”
This is a big nothingburger. Its a shame though because the people spreading the “story” are doing damage regardless of the fact that there is no reason to fear implications towards KU in the “story.” Fake news at its finest.
-
@RockkChalkk Stupid college kids trying to make a name for themselves. I hope that the adviser who oversees them at the very least told them the backlash that SHOULD come from publishing something that really has no merit.
This, if it was anything, was a small clue to a bigger story and shouldn’t have ever been published on it’s own. The had to decide whether they should publish this big nothingbuger now and get a few thousand reads or if they should follow this down into the rabbit hole and potentially get nothing. They took the easy way out. Just a poor, sad job done by the UDK.
-
The Kansan asked for “all documents and communications within this investigation related to the University of Kansas and any of its sponsorship deals with Adidas or any investigation of Kansas basketball coaches.”
What were they expecting?
-
Literally any school, especially Adidas schools right now could have their paper make the same request and get the same standard “no” that the UDK just got.
-
@BShark I’m honestly embarrassed that they published it. Like embarrassed for them. And now the Journalism school as a whole. Must have started a new class, Fake News 101. Where we teach you how to take an official document that really means nothing, and spin it into a major conspiracy.
-
@Kcmatt7 This is brutal for the kid. Like, what was he doing? I get reporting news but literally they asked for ALL DOCUMENTS AND COMMUNICATIONS or bits on investigation of coaches within an ACTIVE INVESTIGATION. Again, what were they hoping for? Never going to get it. Even if some documents were available, this is the government we are talking about here. What’s easier to do? Go dig up a document or use literally any excuse to give a 99% boilerplate response. Then to top it off they got rock hard that the FBI acknowledged them with a boilerplate response so they slanted the story to look like they had something.

Ayala never visited Oregon so he’s a Terp!
So his decision has to be good news for us right? That he’s going to Maryland no matter what happens Friday

Yeah I saw this too. It’s definitely not a bad thing.
-
@BShark Exactly what I was thinking. This is one of those investigations that will literally never close because it is so massive that they can say it is just always ongoing and not have to bother with doing anything besides sending a letter to anyone who inquires.
I want someone to do this for each individual school now and see what comes back. It is just an online form on the FBI website. I may try to when I get home from work.

@Kcmatt7 let it go, don’t be them?

@BeddieKU23 Rumour mill time
So, my Team Takeover guy, who couldn’t care less about Md recruiting, just says to me, “Yall got a point guard”. I was like, who? He says “Dotson”. I’m not taking it to the bank, but just another log on the fire.
