Langford
-
Agreed. withe the recent influx of players to UK some of the earlier commits must be having second thoughts. It would be difficult for Herro to de-commit since he has done it once already. If Langford does not come he sure would have been a great fit.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Lol its funny, because I thought the fact that he decomitted before made it more likely he would consider it again.

You pretty much nailed it. A 3 point shooter with athleticism would be ideal. I think we need to find someone that can play immediately that can give us some of the things we were used to getting from Vick, Jackson & Selden before that. There’s an element of athleticism missing IMO that KU likes to have for lobs and drives to the hoop.
Langford is both. Herro is 1/2.
Agbaji and Sam are both in that mold but unproven. Staff seems to like Agbaji but no clue if he’ll be ahead of the curve to play minutes as a freshman. Garrett & KJ haven’t proven to be consistent shooters yet but they give you a lot of other good things.
It’s unlikely we are going to find a really capable option if its not Romeo. I guess it could pop up so I won’t say it can’t. Will be interesting
I found the player you are looking for
-
Can we clone him and get double the pleasure?
-
Your right he’s one. I’m expecting him to start at the 2 Guard position. Who’s the wing player? I know Marcus is the “guy” but we need much more from him shooting wise.
-
Adding another quality guard/wing would really help. Not sold on Cunliffe at all. Think we might see some Moore at the 2 with Grimes at the 3.
-
Romeo Langford is a decent kid and a good student. His plan all along was to wait until after the year so he could concentrate on school and his final year of basketball. It was nothing more than that. Part of me kind of would respect him more if he picks IU. That means he is up to being the man and trying to carry a team. I’m sick of kids acting like coward LeBron and teaming up. Do your own thing and own it. Having said all that, if he picks Kansas I wont complain.

This dang millennial generation and their choosing to win… It’s annoying.

@BShark i doubt it moore is a pure 1 grimes is much more versatile he can actually play either shooting guard or point guard
-
Seen this from another poster off another site - -makes some sense. I’m not saying I really put a lot of worth , but could be logical as he brings up another example of the Romeo commitment gives an example, he says:
Some people feel that since Romeo is announcing in his High School and it’s open to the public that it is a done deal he is going to Indiana ( Myself I don’t feel this way necessarily ) but he says a lot do. - Now the Indiana fans well hell ya they making statements such as well with it being open to the public and thousands going to be there he would be nuts to announce somewhere else - - Really? - we shall see although I do believe he goes there. Anyways the poster brings this up.
He says how quickly we forget the Harrison Barnes scenario. Born and Raised in Ames Iowa - - practiced with the Iowa State team for years. - -He had his announcement at his High School in Ames , and invited everybody/everyone to attend, a ton of Iowa State people there and the High School band played the Iowa State fight song before his announcement - - - Then he skypes in Roy Williams and announces his commitment to UNC.
So just because he is making the announcement in his High School with all these people doesn’t mean 100% he is gone to Indiana contrary to what some people think - not saying this will be the case but until he says I’m going to Indiana - - - Open game
The like he said in his post he says and let’s not forget the Alexander/ IIllinois fiasco. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Nah, Moore is a combo guard at best. Being small doesn’t make you a PG. In fact size doesn’t effect position at all. Ben Simmons is a 6’10’’ PG in the NBA.

Posted in the other thread. Agbaji up to #141

I would have hoped he would be top 100 by now considering the year and awards he had as well as the offers from big time programs.
-
It’s probably where he belongs. If he is anything like the coaches think he will outplay his rank in time

How many 5’11" centers are in the NBA?
-
Anything is possible. Keep in mind that 5’6" Spud Webb won the NBA Dunk contest as did 5’9’ Nate Robinson…not once, not twice but three times.

None but that doesn’t mean 5’11’’ players with a center only skill set don’t exist. It’s all about the skill set a player has. True center is a dying position.

Hearing quite credibly that Vandy is pretty much out. KU or IU.

@FarmerJayhawk I’ve been feeling that for quite some time now. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Uhhh so the latest rumor is that Self paid Romeo a visit while he was in Louisville yesterday.

How is everyone interpreting this? I’m not sure what to think.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 I was joking that Self was doing such activities at Romeo’s house.
-
@FarmerJayhawk umm not sure how he could of done that. As we are in the quiet period right now and Coaches can’t visit recruits have in homes or at their high schools. - Only contact they can have now is either through the mail or over the telephone - - unless it would be on KU campus would be the only other way.
-
Self met with Bassey this week so there has to be some way to get around it. The Langford’s are denying it, so could just be someone assumed Self was in New Albany too when visiting Bassey
-
@jayballer73 i paid a visit to his house and now im coming to yours
-
@ReggieKansas lmao - -your just an idiot lol -you don’t know where I live lol - -BUT I do know your woman’s number lmao
-
I asked again today and a guy I trust still is saying it’s done to KU.
-
@FarmerJayhawk what percent do u say ?

If that’s true, that will be one salty gym in some place in Indiana on the 30th.
I know @BShark and myself said we would do cartwheels and backflips if it was another recruit who landed at KU but I’m fully on board for doing one if Romeo signs with KU
-
You can? I’m impressed, you have to tape it, or it didn’t happen!

I honestly don’t know. If I had to put numbers on it I’d say something like 65/35 IU but that’s just my gut.
-
Do we have an Injure Reserve List in this Forum? It might be a busy place…
-
Also, the family may deny the meeting, but I heard this afternoon that Self and the family did make contact while Self was in the area. Another source told me it was to give a commitment.
-
@FarmerJayhawk then why the 65/35 Iu?
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:

Just because a lot in the IU camp feel so certain.

@BeddieKU23 I would love almost pay to see you two do that - - - -I said ALMOST lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

He said a source told him that Self got a verbal. It’s weighing that source, how much he trusts that source vs other info.
-
ReggieKansas said:

They said that. My gut still says IU. Yes, it’s cognitive dissonance. I’m listening to a bunch of stuff out there, which is really common in late recruitments. It’s even possible Romeo changes his mind day by day so info comes out that he’s leaning one way, but he may change his mind. It’s an ebb and flow kind of thing.
-
@FarmerJayhawk i feel u on that

I agree. To announce for KU in front of all of those IU fans…what a scene. Which is why I think it is IU.
-
@BShark also do you really believe your source?
-
I’m STILL trying to figure out how Self could of talked to Romeo yesterday or got a verbal from him yesterday when we are in our dead period when Coach can’t have any contact - which runs for 3 months unless Romeo was on the KU campus. - only type of contact he can have right now is if he would be on the Ku campus - or via a letter - or telephone contact. - He can’t go see Romeo at his high school - he can’t go to Romeo’s home - things that make you go hmmmmmmm
