Well Tre Mann Gone, no big surprise - -committing to Florida -and wow Anthony cut his list all right - -down to TWELVE - - that’s cutting your list? KU - - - Duke - - - Kentucky - - - N Carolina- - - Louisville - - -Oregon - - -Villanova - - -Wake Forest - - - ( Pittsburg ? ) - - - Georgetown ? ? – -Norte Dame - - & Miami - -I won’t ever get up till the fat lady sings on us lol.
Same goes for Wiseman - - I mean in reality - -I know we stand a chance like a snowball’s chance in hell , yet still interesting mama very , very , involved. Obviously gonna be spring before he decides. Mama says she wants him to just be able to concentrate on his 12th grade year. - After his season they will be able to see Transfers for schools involved in his recruitement graduation and such.
She says the narrative in the recruitment has been only 2 schools that have a chance mama says of top recruit that’s NOT REALITY. she said KU keeps in touch all the time - – -Vanderbilt is always on him - - - -Florida St texting him E-mailing him
His visits are Kentucky Sept 7th - - - -KU - in home visit on Sept 12th & official visit on the 28th - - -Vanderbilt on October 5th. - - article says has been on both Vanderbilt & Ku campuses .
Mama says they wanna see how you all play , see how the system is ran , get dirty with the players , She wants James to talk with some of these people and get a feel of what’s going on - -He is not close to a decision - she wants him to make an educated choice in the spring
I know you know he isn’t coming here BUT how many ever thought we would ever get a visit from him - -now we have one - -a in home plus an official - -and a late night visit at that - -Think the ol fat lady might wanna sit down for a spell - -not time to sing yet one never knows - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’d say Mann to FL is a surprise as most everyone thought he was going to UNC. Odd ending to a recruitment there.
-
JRE taking his official on 9-28

I will permanently ban myself if Wiseman ends up at KSU.
-
Oh boy. ESPN dropped JRE to #38 in their rankings. What a joke.

Ya well consider the source. - -from 18th to 38th? - get that crap out of here lol. - They probably did it when they realized that chances are that a very talented player is going to end up spurning the oh mightier then thou ACC for another school/conference. What? - -how can that be SHAME on JRE – SHAME I SAY especially if he spurns N Carolina or Duke for another school - -how can this happen - -oh Whoa’s me - -ha we will show him - -we will just drop him in the rankings - -there that will fix his wagon – how dare he - I mean we are talking the ACC for GOD’S sakes lol - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Can’t hurt to have JRE in Wiseman’s ear. Because those two would be a filthy front court. The Mann thing REALLY surprised me. Word around UNC was it was done.

No it can’t hurt. I think we are all realists here - -but not sure if you ever heard but – - - -GOD can work miracles - -we can always hope. - -wouldn’t that just put a knot in Kentucky & Memphis skivee’s - -talk about blowing some people away lol
I could all ready hear the other fan base response something along these lines - - I TOLD YOU that KU was dirty - I wonder how much they had to pay him to come play. - -KU is the most dirty team in the NCAA - I can just hear it now lol. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Haha I’ll take all that crap and then some if we got Wiseman.

ya me too. Just like I’ve been talking to NC fans been pretty good no hate - -BUT as soon as I mention JRE coming for late night – BAM statement such as keep on pumping yourself up but do it somewhere else.
I told him sorry you got offended but all I was doing was stating a fact and about how well late night had worked for us in the past. - I just don’t understand why fans can’t exchange thoughts back and forth without getting personal and feel the need to take jabs. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 same. I will say most fans not on the internet are really cool. Kentucky fans excluded.

RJ Hampton going to 2019. Get ready for a fight.
-
Memphis or Duke I bet.
-
wow
-
@FarmerJayhawk Where did you see this reported at?
-
I’ll bet he ends up at Memphis.
-
@Woodrow he tweeted about news coming Friday and a little birdie told me this was it. I think Duke or KU. Memphis is too much of an unknown for a lot of top guys yet. KU has something neither can sell right now: a guaranteed role and history of developing great guards.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I just think he hopped on that Memphis offer awfully quick. Has an official visit slated and I’d want to play with Wiseman if I was a PG.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I saw the tweet, but just did not see it reported anywhere yet. I think the move to 19 benefits KU.
-
247 With a 2020 class update.
-
No Ty Berry, still a 3 star ranked #199. For those that have seen him is this appropriate ranking?
Bryce Thompson just barely a 4 star prospect.
Not much else to report as 2019 is still wide open. Not sure we really stick out with anyone at the moment
-
@BeddieKU23 I’ve seen him play a high school game last year. He had to take over. Shot a lot of free throws. His team wasn’t that good so really hard to tell. I know his coach this year, really well. He hates KU. I’ll see him play again.
-
McBride visiting on late night.
-
Kai Jones officially visiting FSU this weekend. No other officials set up for him at the moment
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Who hates KU? Berry or his coach?
-
-
Can someone that has heard or watched McBride please explain to me the difference between him and Jacobs? I understand ranking are not the end all be all, but why would we go our separate ways from a kid who “has not progressed” and is ranked approximately 90-100 to a kid who is not even ranked at all and a 3* prospect? Just doesn’t make any sense to me at all at this time.

I believe 247 has yet to rank him which is keeping his ranking where it is currently. You may see all the major services get a look at his AAU performances in July and give him a bump as well. Senior film may help out as well at the end of the year.
His tape looks pretty good. He’s bigger then Jacobs and I think he has more skills KU wants then Jacobs had, especially shooting from the perimeter. This may be one to trust the staff, Mcbride’s other leader is Tennessee so he’s definitely viewed as a P5 player.
The staff has had pretty good success with guys like this. Identifying talent that has gone under the radar isn’t a bad thing. If he signs with KU I do expect he’ll get a bump based on that alone.
-
Auburn and TCU both want McBride too. Arkansas offered recently, despite not having a scholarship available (lol). As of anything reported at this time he might not even let Arkansas back in at this point. I think he ends up top 100 in the final rankings, for those that think about such things. I was hoping KU would push for Sam Williamson when he was unranked.
Per a 247 article Chandler Lawson has been talking to McBride about recruiting in general and how great KU is.
-
If Chandler comes, gives me hope KJ stays another year.

Okay buddy if it’s true Chandler is talking about how great KU is , then here is my question. Do you think that Chandler still is very interested in coming to KU? - -If so - - are we still interested in Chandler with the very likely possibility we get Hurt and JRE to come in? - Is there as much interest from one party as there is from the other? - -I would think with our possibility of landing Hurt and even JRE our interest in Chandler might have cooled could be wrong - -that has happened before believe it or not lol.- -My thinking would be the only reason - -and this is again with the very good possibility of us landing Hurt and or JRE - I se the main reason to keep stroking Chandler or even signing Chandler would be because of his younger brother. Every thing I had read that the younger Lawson was the best in the group of brothers - -can’t remember his name. Also with Penny at Memphis now wondering how strong KU is even a factor with Chandler now? - -Yet with him making a statement like that - -sounds like he may still be very interested in KU. What you think? – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

“[Chandler Lawson] was talking about how he loves Kansas, also, but he’s a highly recruited player, so his options are very, very out there,” McBride continued to 247Sports. "He has a lot of teams that he can play for, but he talked to me and we compared and we talked about Kansas a lot. We talked about how the Lawson brothers love Kansas and how they’re developing, not only strength-wise, but spiritually and on the court, most definitely. So we talked about it, and we’re going to continue to see, and I’ll see where he goes and hopefully we’ll be able to make the decision at the same time or close to each other.”

OK, so McBride is a 19 guy right? - - So this is Chandler saying these things right? -So then is Chandler possibly hoping to play together with McBride? With him talking and saying hopefully we’ll be able to make the decision at the same time or close to each other? If that is Chandler saying this sounds like he might want to play with McBride - - yes?
-
@jayballer73 Yeah. They are probably gonna play together in Lawrence, lol.
Also Chandler is a combo forward like KJ. He can definitely play some three. I don’t think the staff view him at the same position as Hurt and JRE. I could be wrong though.
I think Chandler is a good long term player and his family knows he isn’t going to be OAD. He could come to KU and develop over 3-4 years. With his length he could really be disruptive on defense and he would improve his offense over time I’m sure.
-
Oh and a follow-up instead of editing again…
This is probably going to be a big class. Dedric and Vick are leaving. Grimes and Doke are extremely likely to leave. Silvio is definitely a candidate to leave for lots of reasons. Then there is an open spot. So that’s potentially 6 scholarships to give out.
-
I’m curious about what the plan is with Mitch. Is he just a 4 year backup? Will he leave?

So straight up for Chandler your gut - - - KU - - -OR - - - Memphis?
If Chandler comes here and the ideal scenario our recruits then for next year: - - Lawson - - - Hurt - - -JRE - - - Williamson - - & McBride ?
-
@jayballer73 KU.
Best case scenarios definitely involve RJ Hampton.
-
@BShark -Looks like ol smart boy in Texas is gonna land Will Baker the 7 footer # 25 - -Meyer - -Daniels – & Slater all picking Texas - -nice addition for them - now if Shaka can Coach him lmao
-
@jayballer73 Yikes. Baker is not a great fit for Shaka imo. Unless he is going to change his coaching “system”.
