2019 Recruiting
-
So is Stanley the assumed reason Williamson didn’t sign?

Interesting take for Oklahoma St getting Avery Anderson the 3rd. They currently don’t have any open scholarships but that always works itself out.
Texas Tech trending for 4 star guard Top 40 Jahmius Ramsey. Playing at Oak Hill this season. Chris Beard parlaying the Evans/Smith/Culver success into recruiting!
Yeah, someone will get cut loose, their roster isn’t exactly stacked.
As for Ramsey he would be a huge addition for the overall talent of the league. I thought he wasn’t deciding until late but things change and it’s not like I was following his recruitment that closely since KU isn’t involved.

Tigerboard took Braun going to KU very hard. Woof. Even some good old Brandon Rush hate got dredged up.
Missouri wasn’t even in the picture. KSU would have been his destination if KU didn’t offer. OU was probably his third choice. Missouri was maybe…5th?
-
@dylans Basically.

We would’ve definitely taken them both, to replace Grimes and Vick

Hmm. The plot thickens.

Told you all KU was more of a player for Stanley than given credit for
OH jumpin - gee- - hossa – -fats. - -Did I miss something ? – some little tasty tantalizing news of encouragement maybe? - please tell me there is?

@FarmerJayhawk Yeah and I gave you crap for it too lol. Seems like it’s KU or Oregon. It would be quite the friggin coup.
So whz going on? - - -something new? - - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 KU got the first official visit for Late Night and the staff feels like they have a legit shot.

Oh ok. that’s good I guess, at least we are one of the Five - -I dunno there are times I think it would almost be better to have the last visit. That way we would be the freshest in his mind - -leave that lasting impression. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

“I think one thing Coach Self really liked … he told him (Braun) about other players he’s going to get. Christian said, ‘Great, we want to have a good team.’ He’s not worried about the competition, not afraid of competition and I think coach Self likes that,” Fritz added.
Gotta love Self’s confidence.

Coaches always want the first or last. The first because they get to set the bar for other visits. Self especially loves it because KU consistently puts on the best official visits. And like you said, being last may bias a kid your direction (recency bias).

Josiah James to Tennessee WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT.

Texas firing Rick Barnes looks so funny now

He is 100% a better coach than Shaka.

Big 12 is getting deeper every day. If Kruger isn’t careful, he will be sitting last in the League in 2019-20.
TCU will be strong. Tech will be solid. WVU will be a headache. Oklahoma State is improving. K-State will still have some solid pieces. Baylor will be okay. Texas is shifting to more Shaka at VCU type style, so they will be a pain. Iowa State will have talent. And of course, Kansas is Kansas.
Oklahoma is the only school in the conference that is trending the wrong way in basketball. Everyone else is getting better, so OU looks like they will be surpassed if recruiting does not pick up.
-
So in a matter of weeks James went from a lock to Duke to Clemson, and then picks Tennessee. Gotta love recruiting!

McBride to KU lock now
-
I was surprised Clemson became the trendy pick almost immediately. James had spoken pretty highly of Tennessee, I thought he would end up there- after he cut Duke
-
@BeddieKU23 Assuming KU wants him yep. Tenn has 2 Seniors, an open scholarship and 3 commitments.

Well I won’t be mad adding a developmental PG. Perfect time to add one if we don’t think Dotson is going to be here 4 years.

There is almost no chance Dotson is a 4 year guy.
Scenario: open scholarship, Vick graduates, Dedric, Grimes, Doke and Silvio all leave early.
Dream class: Braun, McBride, Stanley, Chandler, JRE, Hurt.
And feel free to sub Kai Jones for JRE or Hurt.
McBride, Braun and Stanley is a nice group for the perimeter. Stanley comes in and starts at the 2G replacing Grimes while McBride and Braun don’t mess up the minutes for incumbent playes and can take time to develop. I really really like McBride assuming he keeps developing.
-
Also I would 100% take Silvio staying instead of adding a 5* big. I love Silvio.
-
A Jr Silvio would be ideal!

As of today I think that’s a realistic scenario, just swap Silvio and Chandler. We’ll get a lot better feel on a couple guys after Late Night. There’s always the Wiseman pipe dream too.

I don’t think Devon is here for 4 years - - -more like 3 - I don’t see him as a 2 yr player but neither 4. Man wouldn’t that be a sweet haul the one’s you mentioned?- - - -Like others say if we could get Silvio to come back for a JR year - and then have either or Hurt or Robinson Earle – I’ll take the JR DeSousa over 2 5 star freshman - -and if it came to that - I personally as much as I like JRE’S game - -I still almost think I’d rather take Hurt & DeSousa - other then JRE & Silvio - - - Would be nice to pick up McBride as a solid 4 year pg also. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I read where OU got their 2nd commit today. – Victor Iwvakor a 6’8 center # 81 player in the country - -he joining the # 36 ranked player De’vion Harmon - -plus they are in on a player ranked # 102 at the present Jalen Hill a 6’7 SF - -OU currently ranked as the 14th best in the country recruiting wise - -sounds like a decent class we shall see. - Also on a little side note also read where Antoine is recruiting hard to try and get JRE and or Hurt & Stewart to come to Villanova to play with him I sure the hell don’t want to see either Hurt OR JRE land there. - - Earle just had his visait there last weekend. - Would love to see a commit out of him shortly after late night to KU. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Get ready to sweat it out with JRE as he goes to UNC this weekend

ya, I hear you. We both know that UNC is considered to be probably our stiffest competitor for JRE - - Glad he comes to Campus after them plus coming on late night and I’m sure the fans will do their part and let him know how welcome he is here - - I’m sure the staff will try to make a really hard push on late night. - Probably gonna notice some CB movement in the next week or two , for sure nervous times - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If we land any of those assumed Memphis bound kids, you have to think the Lawson’s had a big impact. And that Self knew they were 1000% worth the risk.
-
Bill is looking good! Lost a lot of weight…
-
@Gorilla72 maybe that hernia surgery helped, but yeah I noticed. Gonna put it back on eating there.
-
Kai Jones will visit Texas this weekend and then Baylor next weekend.

Yeah landing Wiseman would be a major coup. Still think he ends up at Memphis though.
-
Has Kai Jones cut his list and named officials yet?
-
He’s already taken two officials with 2 more the next two weekends

Enfield was a hell of a hire for USC. And he has a great staff.
-
Just an educated guess. I think Stanley cuts to 4.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is this what Gershon was saying? I have VIP but couldn’t read it…stupid 24/7.
-
Just that SC and Stanley are “drifting apart.” My opinion, though not entirely speculation, is cutting his list.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree with you, a cut seems most likely. I was thinking maybe even cut to 3. KU should be on it, I’d think. Exciting.
-
We’ll be on the list
