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.

@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.
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.

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.
-

@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?
-
Could still transfer to TCU, he was strongly considering that last offseason.

True, TCU has 1 spot open currently. Can see him staying though as he’d be the biggest guy left on Duke’s roster after this year

ESPN rankings update
http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/playerrankings/_/order/true
Grimes #8, Dotson #24 (lol k), McCormack #28 (also lol, but because I think this is too high).
-
Grimes at #8 is solid.
Can live with the others. I think eventually Dave lives up to that #28. Devon will outplay #24.
-
If Dave continues sculpting his body, I see him as a potential Big XII POY under Self. He is like Self’s wet dream lol.
He has great footwork and offensive skill. He has size that can’t be taught and is perfect for sealing guys in the Hi-Low. He is just lacking on the conditioning and athleticism a little bit. Hudy will add 10" to that vertical, and help him with his hip flexibility so he can get lower and his agility gets better. Big Dave should end up being what we always wished Landon Lucas could be.
-
Big Dave was selected to the McDonald All-American which selects the top 24 players so enough people in the know see something and believe he belongs there.

Down year for bigs, he’s the highest rated big outside the Top 25.
There tends to be 1-2 guys outside the Top 20-25 that make it annually. Zach Collins #37 of Gonzaga was a recent one, Thomas Welsh #36 another.
Dave is a good player and he’s played against the best HS competition for a few years now. He was on a winning AAU team as well. He might not be an impact freshman based on his current skill but I think he’s deserving of his ranking in this class as well as his McDonald’s All American status. His best basketball should be ahead of him once he gets to KU and continues to develop
-
Yeah, this is a terrible year for bigs. Bol Bol is near the top and there would be classes he wouldn’t be top 25 overall imo, so it’s all relative.
That said overall I am high on McCormack. He will need time though. I don’t think he plays much at all his first year, then plays a reserve role year two before starting and being pretty great years 3-4.
-
I’m okay with that trajectory given his ability right now. If Doke leaves after this year he’ll play more as a freshman.
He’s a big dude with some post skill to work with. He could surprise us if he buys in from the start. Has more offensive skill then Doke did coming in but other then their size they are not alike.
