Duke all the way here.
Yep. I think Memphis was pushing for a reclass.

Definitely time to move on. A real nut punch considering he grew up a KU fan.
If it isn’t Duke, he is going straight league.

I’m fine with it, he’s been a tease for a while.
If Dotson is here for year 2 I think its important we find someone that isn’t comparably the same as him.
There are no Grimes in the 19 class to get so I’m holding out that we get a shooter with some size.
Cole would be the “dream” duo but I think he’ll go straight to the draft.
Things will change as they always do.

Tell Derryck Thornton about the Duke brotherhood. Or Wendell Carter.

I’m still digging my class prediction from earlier.

What did you have?

@BeddieKU23 Williamson, Hurt, JRE, Chandler, McBride.
Not exactly going out on a limb here. I do wonder if Braun will be a factor at all now. I didn’t expect him to get a KU offer.

Has anyone seen Braun play? The highlights I’ve seen show he can shoot which in today’s game is critical. I didn’t see what else he could do at a KU level and athletically he looks well below someone Self would offer so what’s the deal here?
4 of 5 I’m on board with. I think Chandler goes somewhere else, I just can’t see us taking the name, he’s not even close to his brothers skill level
-
@BShark So, what 's the deal with Braun? How good is he? Not being local (anymore) I know nothing about the kid.
-
Have to laugh myself. - -Kentucky think it’s a wrap now that they have an in home with Hurt Since they have Cal as their Coach as they say whoever Cal want’s they get. - -I can be totally by myself on this I could give a rat’s ass - -I’m NOT tripping about Hurt going to Kentucky - -not even breaking a sweat. - again I might be the only one - -that’s good enough for me - -I think Hurt is OUR’S - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 @Hawk8086 I’m going to have to catch some of his games this year if he commits or it appears KU is really going after him. I have some buddies in the KC metro who are very surprised by this offer. One is a grape (despite what I said about not hanging out with riff raff lol) and he joked that Self might be going senile.
As for Chandler I could see him ending up at Memphis but apparently Memphis isn’t really pushing for him. I don’t think he is so bad that he isn’t a 4 year KU guy. KU has trotted worse out there during Self’s tenure. In the starting line-up even. I like him long term especially defensively.
-
I think Chandler is perfect program guy. We can strengthen him up enough to hold his own at the 4. At which point, he is really the perfect stretch 4 for modern day basketball.
-
Wow just read and kind of caught me totally off guard. - -Bryan Antoine committed to Villanova. - - The reason seemed to be a general consenus that he was Duke bound/lock - -bet this threw ol rat face for a loop - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 Duke is crashing and burning in this class so far which excites me…
-
a lot of the recent rumblings pointed to this. shocked it actually happened tho

I thought we’d see more people trying to spin this but I don’t see it. The Capel loss certainly hit them here + Nova having a shiny trophy to sell. Nova is recruiting stupid right now and isn’t done from everything I see

Yeah there is really no way to spin it.
For those that don’t follow recruiting as closely and might just be thinking only of this miss well it’s not just this. They also appear to be fading with Cole Anthony.
They will get Josiah James no doubt, but outside of that I don’t know.

Wendell Moore? He seemed the other lock.
Stewart certainly seems to be open who is their big priority.
We don’t want Duke circling the wagon to give the Hurt’s some nike money… They have to right the ship

ya me too BUT you know ol ratty he will find ways to get the elite there - -every time he misses is a sweet taste though. - - -
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah we definitely want them landing forwards that aren’t Hurt.

Another little interesting tidbit with old Rat face and crew. - - A duke poster asked Andrew Slater who was most likely to be a Duke Blue Devil out of Cole Anthony - - - RJ Barrett - - & Josiah James? Slater responded back and said - - -Josiah James - - - hmmmm. I know a lot of talk now about Anthony and Oregon but had heard he was an almost lock for Duke -then Barrett? - - - kind of funny. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
This is off topic a bit, but have you seen Liberace’s new look? That Elite 8 is going to his head…

Barrett is at Duke right now, as in on their team and will play this year. I think you got something confused here.

Spoke too soon, some are now saying a borderline Top 10 player is overrated. Gotta love it!

Anyone hear how Williamson’s visit went this weekend??

Crickets so far… Choosing to take that as a positive!

That was certainly unexpected. And positive. Methinks KU is now in a better spot for Anthony.

Self doing an in-home Visit with Wiseman on Tuesday.

For those with an Athletic sub this is an excellent article.

WASTE

@BeddieKU23 I assume this is just Self playing the game. He knows he won’t get Wiseman, but he has to play along.

Yupp, he’s well versed in the game. Crazier things have happened but its unlikely
-
I understand that Wiseman is likely headed to Memphis or UK, but if he wants to come and visit and have a in-home with Self it can’t hurt. Don’t see any downside to it at all. You just never know in recruiting!

The lack of Williamson updates has me thinking Commit W?

A Few people are saying with NOTHING being reported/said - that maybe it didn’t go as well as we thought it might – I don’t buy it. - I think if anything he still wants to take all his visits - can’t blame him for that. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Any time a players is mentioned as a lock somewhere I always think of Deandre Ayton who according to the crystal ball prediction was 100% for KU…well…until he wasn’t.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Well I mean we all know what happened there now lol.
-
@BShark Your post was number 1111. I think mine is 10000.
-
And then there was Wiggins…

KU will visit Trendon Watford, #22 ranked player, 6’9 PF from Alabama.
Memphis, Alabama, FSU, Indiana among others in this. First time I’ve seen KU making an effort
-
@BeddieKU23 So ok , here we go. My biggest and only question here is - - -WHY? especially at this point and time? - I’m sorry I just don’t get it. - I know , I know - - people say not to make anything out of things like this , that’s great BUT I’m telling you this kind of thing makes me really wonder if the Coaching staff has gotten a feel or some kind of info that we have possibly lost ground or even lost our other targets of Earle and or Hurt.
I mean this is 4 - - - – 4 players at the same position now that they are listed - - all are listed as power forwards. If I were a player at that position it would make me wonder if I were their # 1 target as they so often tell these kids - WHY are they recruiting so many other’s at my same position?
I get it that you have to have more then one option - - I get that. Two - -hell even remotely Three - - - BUT Four? - -na that just doesn’t make much sense to me - -especially at this stage of the game - -UNLESS the staff knows something that has been leaked. With this kid, looking at who else that is in on him & checking 247 - -looks to me that it is going to be pretty hard to pull him away from home anyways - especially when your coming in late. - -Just my personal take that’s all - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@BeddieKU23 we at least offered him last October. So maybe we have been on him more behind the scenes.
Kind of feels like we are trying to steal that Memphis squad away from Penny lol. Watch us land Hurt, Wiseman, Lawson and Watford somehow. If we see a DJ Jeffries visit, we KNOW something is going on lol.
-
We are visiting his school, its not a in-home as far as I can see.
I’m not going to speculate into this. Self does this every year.
-
This is the first time I’ve seen KU involved honestly. Most of the info I’ve seen on him involves Alabama, Memphis, Indiana.
I would be surprised if Watford picked a school outside of those 4 considering they have spent considerable time recruiting him since AAU.
Alabama was the first school to recruit him, not a surprise given he’s a bama native. Watford’s brother played at Indiana. Memphis under the new regime has put themselves right there and may even lead for him. FSU & LSU (he’s unofficially visited) are looking for official visits.
