@jayballer73 Duke is crashing and burning in this class so far which excites me…
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.
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.

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
Barrett is at Duke right now, as in on their team and will play this year. I think you got something confused here.
Once again my age showing up lol. I said RJ Barrett and it should of been RJ Hampton. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

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!

Your exactly right - -you just never know - EXCEPT - -in the case of Wiseman not coming here lol. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

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.
-
About 13 programs including KU will be in to watch Lester Quinones, Top 100 guard.
-
@BeddieKU23 Oh I’d be shocked if we landed Watford. But Bill has had the strategy of casting a wide net and letting the chips fall where they may.
-
@Kcmatt7 That’s what I was thinking…if Watford (or someone similar) commits…you take the bird in the hand.
-
Well heard the podcast yesterday. I guess I’m not only losing my mind BUT - - -also losing my eye sight. These guys all they could do is gush all over themselves about Braum.
Things like Good shooter off the Catch - - - Dribble - or off Screen. Says he just shoots the hell out of the ball. - The one game where he scored 31 recently didn’t miss a shot - -they said it would be different if he shot nothing but three’s but he made all kinds of various shots.
Said the kid is definitely not afraid of the weight room - -boy face but put together I guess. Loves going to the rim - doesn’t matter if you block the shot or not going to keep attacking - -and if you foul him - -automatic two. Dad was a walk on I guess in the early 90’s - - -I guess I’m looking at wrong things. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hurt going to be busy this weekend. Kentucky - - - Duke - - -& KU coming in for in home visits I think they said on Sunday plus N Carolina and someone else coming later - -I think this may end up quite a battle - -still think KU & UNC. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Kcmatt7 think the Lawson brothers are helping us? I do

Minnesota is stopping by to see him and Villanova

Pretty nice player. Recruitment appears to be open too.
-
I see the Phog is having a meltdown over 0 current commitments. BlessUp for being better, bucketeers.
-
R.J. Hampton will be visiting KU for late night. He will also be going to Memphis and Kentucky.
-
@JayHawkFanToo I have him in the list thread already. Not sure KU has much of a shot anymore but you never know.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 From what others have been saying, sure seems it. If Dedric plays like we think, I think it will do wonders. They are certainly not afraid to talk, and this would be one of the few times that isn’t a bad thing lol.
-
I see where UK has made their mark ON Nnaji - - -Meyer - – Slater and some other guy picking him now as a UK commit, - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well if UK is serious they will probably get him. He isn’t a top priority for KU.
-
Looks like Minnesota out of the Matthew Hurt race. Not that they were considered a likely landing spot but with his brother on the team you never know. Minnesota grabbed Top 100 Power Forward Trace Jackson.
-
Update on a prospect KU has kept in contact with. Kai Jones has visited Florida St and now will visit Syracuse. I’m told from my Brewster friend that Cuse could seal the deal here
-
Loving the Duke board’s meltdown over recruiting. With Isiah Stewart looking wide open in his recruitment or trending away from Duke that is one entitled salty bunch over there! The loss of Capel is sinking in, for now. I know it won’t last but its fun to see them freaking out
-
TCU grabbed a couple of 4 star perimeter players over the weekend. Dixon continues to recruit at a high level. So far the Big-12 really hasn’t done much in 2019 recruiting
-
I’ve got a friend at work who is an Iowa State fan. He’s optimistic they won’t be the bottom feeder this year and thinks they can win twice against Texas. I don’t share his optimism.
-
@approxinfinity My bold prediction: Texas Tech tumbling all the way to the bottom.
Another one: Texas finishes in the top half this season.

I don’t know if they will sweep Texas but I do like their roster.

They should be better, a couple of key transfers eligible. Wigginton & Lard are 1st team Big-12 candidates. Their starting 5 is better then OU, OSU, Tech & Baylor. Should be interesting to see what Prohm does with talent

Agree. Might even be a better starting 5 than TCU as well. They have a couple guys (THT, Zion G*) that I’d take for KU in a second. Add a couple RS SRs and an NBA guard (Wigginton) and they should be pretty salty.
*Not sure how much he plays this year with their roster situation but I think he is really good and was hoping KU would get him.
Their front court is pretty good, as a whole I would take it over KSU’s front court.
-
Wow re: TT to bottom. And thanks for the insights on Iowa States roster. I look forward to them being competitive. I’ve always liked their vibe, one ahole booster aside.
-
Chicago hoops politics hurt THT’s ranking imo, should be a 5*.
