Recruiting Thread

@FarmerJayhawk Can you find that rule? I’ve never heard of that before.
-
Wasn’t TJ Pugh recruited as a “preferred” walk on?
-
FarmerJayhawk said:
@JayHawkFanToo unfortuanately no. Once you’re recruited as a player, you can’t walk on.
Never heard of that. Many schools that don’t have schoolies available still recruit players and invite them to walk on with financial assistance packages that are very close to a full scholarship.
I was just asking if he would be willing to walk on at KU with the promise of a future scholarship over getting one at a smaller program.

There’s really no such thing as a preferred walk on, other than they may not have to try out for the team. I think the rub comes in the NCAA’s definition of recruited, since it’s actually pretty narrow:
(a) Providing the prospective student-athlete with an official visit; (b) Having an arranged, in-person, off-campus encounter with the prospective student-athlete or the prospective student-athlete’s parents, relatives or legal guardians; or
Issuing a National Letter of Intent or the institution’s written o er of athletically related financial aid to the prospective student-athlete. Issuing a written offer of athletically related financial aid to a prospective student-athlete to attend a summer session prior to full-time enrollment does not cause the prospective student-athlete to become recruited.As long as you don’t do those things, a player can walk on because he wasn’t “recruited.” At least that’s my understanding.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Seems like we haven’t “recruited” him quite yet.
However, I don’t think he would come to KU and walk-on.
I also could see everyone but Doke leaving and we would still have a scholarship available for both him and Langford. Not out of the realm of possibilities.
-
So when Coach Roberts went and seen him , said he seen enough to have him come to Lawrence last Saturday , came with his parents Coach talked to him a bit 6’5 - 6’5 1/2 - -SF - -SG .
Ha been drawing interest from: UMKC - - Colorado State - - -Air Force - - Fresno State. - -really coming on averaging 27 ppg & 9 rpg per game - -now drawing interest from Northern Iowa - -Bradley - -Oklahoma State - -& KU
Question is , wonder really how strong of interest we have? - -If we are now interested of any sort -does that mean they feel things not looking to good for Langford? - -We don’t have room for both - would be over the limit for sure. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Jayballer54 Going to see 2 games and having him come in for a visit in the span of two weeks probably indicates we are pretty interested. Definitely have room for him and Langford, these things work themselves out. That said there is almost no chance Langford comes if Vick stays.
-
The financial aid cannot come from or be arranged by the athletic program. Any student is eligible to apply for normal aid packages, including work/study, loans, grants, and academic scholarships, and then try to walk on if available. But the permissible benefits limitations, and other rules against receiving money from 3rd parties associated with the school, still apply to walkons.
-
Unless someone else in addition to Graham and Svi leaves KU will be short one scholarship, right? At this point I think Vick and Doke are coming back, so the other candidates are Newman and Preston; if one leaves we are full, if both leave then there is one scholarship available.

Keeping pretty close tabs I’d say…
Certainly indicates at least 1 underclass guard is not coming back right? Of course I could be reading too much into that but you don’t recruit multiple guards (Langford, Agbaji) for nothin’
In the article it mention Self wants to see him. If that happens soon as well, things could happen pretty fast I’d think. Agbaji is a real junkyard dog, not afraid to mix it up at all. We all know how Self values that. I think he’d be a pretty good 4-5 year program player/glue guy. Since he is local I’m planning to get out to a couple of games to make my own observations. It does look like he is more than a back-up plan for Romeo though.
Awesome I look forward to your observations.
Video’s show he’s certainly athletic enough to be at KU. Has solid form on his shot. I see some shades of Wayne Selden in him as far as body, athleticism.
Since his recruitment will likely go into the spring I see no reason why the staff shouldn’t be aggressive getting a relationship with him started and seeing what happens. I imagine the kid must feel pretty excited that he went from a few offers to interest from KU. That’s big time for any kid, especially local.

Ya that’s the big player I think , like you say - it’s ALL going to depend on Vick. - -I know some people seem to say Vanderbilt has the edge - - maybe so , BUT like I read off another poster , if that was the case then why wouldn’t of he already committed early to them - nothing to wait on with them and Indiana.
Just makes it look like he is waiting to see if Vick goes , I feel fairly good about him, cause I think Vick is gone, could be one of those cases where even if he were to come back his NBA stock might not go up enough for him to stick for another year - -If we get Romeo to go with what we got – look out - just insane. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Bill is checking in with Matt Hurt today. He might just be a top target.
-
@BShark I hope so. Looks coordinated as hell for a 6’9 HS player.
-
@Kcmatt7 He’s very good, legit NBA talent. Bill has closed in Minnesota before as I recall…
-
Ochai Agbaji will be in AFH today for the Baylor game with his dad. Heaaating up.
-
@BShark I don’t think we offer until the roster is more clear. If nobody leaves, we don’t have a scholarship anyway.
-
I would be very surprised by no one leaving early (well besides Preston I guess since that is now official).

nice when there’s a recruit close enough to visit. I’m sure
-
2nd visit this month is big
-
@BShark same here. I think Newman is the only one. Which if Langford goes to Vandy, I’d take this kid. He’s on a really nice development trajectory.
-
I think Langford goes to Vandy, if your a top 10 pick potentially your gonna get shots at Vandy over what KU has. Its a business decision as they stressed
-
Jermaine Couisnard, a kid that KU briefly looked at last spring before acquiring Moore took a prep year. He now has offers from South Carolina, Louisville, Virginia Tech and Illinois.

I think if Vick leaves, we get him. Self has a great record of putti wings in the NBA.

Yes we do have a great track record. I’m just seeing it being an easier path for him at vandy. If he wants to win and learn from a HOF coach then I hope his decision is easy. We will see how it goes.

Zion to Duke. WOW!
-
@BShark crap
-
They have the top 3 recruits…vomit
-
They are all wings too, wtf is K selling.
-
Ugh

Watch Carter and Bagley return

And trent

It won’t happen but LOL.

If Duke doesn’t win it all next year K should retire on the spot.

Still have bolden or Bolton? Sitting on the bench

They do, he plays 12 minutes a game. Bet he’d be playing more for us lol.
-
Baylor players impressive in postgame
-
Unbelievable. I literally can’t believe it. I don’t even know how recruiting makes sense anymore.
Has to be selling GSW type of scheme. 5 guards, and Zion will play like Draymond, only with more freedom
-
@Kcmatt7 They will be insane defensively if the kids buy in.
-
We’ll be better. Guessing Trent and Bolden now peace out.
-
@BShark just hope they all worry too much about “getting theirs” and the team chemistry never really gets where it needs to be
-
There are a lot of Duke alums with a lot of $$$. Just sayin.

FarmerJayhawk said:

Wasn’t Trent oad anyway?
We will definitely be good, but Duke might be better.
-
@BShark Zion was injured a lot this past year. Dukes known for having great guys that can’t play! Franks teammate
-
Do we play Duke in the Classic or otherwise next year? That would be a titanic clash.
-
@BShark Mich State
-
Ah thanks.
-
mayjay said:
@BShark Mich State
Who will be down. We should get 3 in a row there. Which will be huge. @Bshark Trent wants to be, but Bagley has kind of eaten into his role some. He’ll declare and get feedback. With Zion there, my feeling is he goes knowing that he’ll be a bit player there. Ditto Bolden
-
Yeah this will certainly push him out the door, agree with that.
-
Where’s bolden going? The adriatic league with Newman?
