@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.

I don’t really think this is one that will go anywhere in the end for us. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

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

️I guess buddy if you really wanted to reach , we could play this scenario out : let’s say - -let’s see wasn’t we just out there to see him within the last week? - - let’s pretend this - let’s play the what if game- - WHAT IT? say Coach visited , after he left - Coach’s did a good enough sell job – Cassius and parents talked about it since then - he had some time to think about it , from then till now - -He sit up a OV for late night with us - we at this point had as far as I know was his only scheduled OV right? - -So WHAT IF-- - -he decided and talk it over with parents and they agreed - -and he is going to announce his Comittment for KU tomorrow? - -I know , I know quite a reach - but I guess ANYTHING is possible right? - -Hey it’s my dream - -my fantasy. let me live it ok? lol - -I still haven’t seen no fat lady – - -YET - -so whatcha think? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

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
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ryan on the Phog saying it will be a commitment now.
-
We’ll see! If he does it’s UCLA
-
Things escalating super quickly here lol.
-
We are his only official set. Self may have closed it… I still am going into tomorrow with the thought that he is just cutting his list. I don’t want to be faked out.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Why do you say UCLA?
-
FarmerJayhawk said:

That really isn’t that big of announcement at this stage
-
Wonder if this is an early commit to try and get reclassed and enrolled at semester. Start practicing early and ball out next season
-
Thought I saw one of our posters --one of our guys mention something that it would be really stupid for Stanley to commit to UCLA. - -is that right or not? - I can’t remember where I sa that. - are they loaded at his spot for next year or what?
Again Like I said earlier- it COULD be that when we had the in home visit with him- just knocked it out of the park - -Strange that we are listed as the only official visit listed for him AND right after we visited is when that was announced and THEN NOW there is talk he will be announcing tomorrow.–
I dunno - -sounding more and more I think about it- - maybe - -just maybe he comes to KU — - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

He’s got family connections there (his mom ran track I think?) and it’s the only school he’s visited. Always tough to pull west coast kids to Kansas.

What is going on here?
