Haven’t seen it yet, I don’t think they announced last years until during the week. If I remember correctly they brought in mumble rapper Lil Yachty. Good for the kids.
2 Chainz is likely the performer for this year at late night
OK , so now my age comes into play lol. - -Some If I’m thinking right by KcMatt’s response 2 Chainz must be pretty popular with the youner kids huh? - - ROCKCHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hopefully JRE likes him - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@JAYHAWKFAN214 THATS SERIOUSLY A BIG DEAL. I can’t belive they got him. Recruits are gonna freak.
I can see why you got a little excited man. - -after your comment - had to check him out - -he pretty dam good. I listened to : Proud - - - I’m different – - And Dresser ft- - your right the recruits should freak. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yup. Beaty let it slip during Hawk Talk. The marketing folks at KUAD filmed a video with Bill and had a splashy announcement planned for this week but now the cat’s out of the bag. Oops.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Beaty is so terrible at everything, lol.
-
@FarmerJayhawk do you work in the marketing Dept?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 no sir. I’m working on a Ph.D. in a field totally unrelated to spirts at an institution not in Kansas. I still have a lot of friends at KU in different capacities.
-
2 Chainz is a big deal.
-
Yeah big name rapper. Well known performer. KU definitely went big this year

yes they did. - -he will be a huge hit. - -I read he won a grammy for Best Rap performer for the one of " NO PROBLEM " - I listen to it myself - thought it was pretty good. - -I magine that here I am 64 yrs old and I actually like a rap performance lmao. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Looks like it is official. 2 Chainz has ties to Adidas which I am sure helped; he is 6’5” and played some college ball.
According to KUsports. com…
”2 Chainz has strong ties to Adidas, which not long ago released a shoe — dubbed the Top Ten Hi “2 Good 2 Be TRU.” — inspired by the name of the rapper’s first headlining tour and the company’s collaboration with the Georgia-based rapper.”
Maybe he can unveil a new follow up song…2 Good 2 Be TRU - Going to KU
I personally have no clue who he is and never heard any of his “music.” I will have to ask my grandkids about it.

I asked my daughter if she had ever listened to him - -she said she use to listen to him all the time - won a grammy in 2017 for best rap performance so must be pretty decent - thing is the rescruits should love it - -that’s what it’s about. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Yeah the song you mentioned isn’t his but he was a feature on it. He’s mainstream which is big, its different then Lil Yachty & Tech N9ne for example. This should impress Stanley
-
Picture from Booth Camp…
Players looked in amazing shape. Look at Mitch’s guns…and he does not even appear to be flexing.
-
I just want to impress Wiseman. I know it’s a pipe dream, but something in me is holding out hope still.
-
Just noticed that Precious Achiuwa hasn’t set any visits yet. Seems strange that Duke and UK aren’t involved there right? And with UConn the presumed leader? I don’t know that Ollie will even be there in a year.

Ollie was fired, in came Hurley from Rhode Island to fix the ship. Hurley is the reason UCONN is probably the favorite to land him at the moment.
I hope he waits until spring. There are some scenario’s where KU could get involved with him if he does wait. KU’s recruiting is going to change a lot between now and the spring
-
@BeddieKU23 right.
-
I don’t know how I forgot that lol.

It’s easy when there’s 50 different coaching changes a year now
-
@JayHawkFanToo Whomever made the comment about Mitch was right…he’s got some guns now. And Doke looks like a baaad man…
-
@JayHawkFanToo Speaking of big guns, look at KJ. He was a guy that everyone said needed to get stronger. I don’t think he’s going to get pushed around like he did in Memphis. The picture doesn’t really show Dedric, but I’ll bet he has had a similar transformation.That’s going to really bode well for us.
-
@KUSTEVE They looked flabby at Memphis. You know that isn’t going to be the case after getting Hudy-ized.
-
@BShark those Memphis looking dudes might be reconsidering?
-
I was feeling generally good about my physique until I saw this picture.
If college basketball were a fighting contest I think KU would be preseason #1.
-
4 star c kai Jones is down to Texas Baylor Bears and Florida State
-
Damn, that sucks. KU had really better close on their top post targets.
-
Remember when Udoka accidently destroyed Tucker Vang with an unintended punch? I’m worried he’s going to accidentally pop someone’s head like a pumpkin this year.
-
@approxinfinity He might eat Dean Wade.

Ya they better , their running out of options. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
KU is going to have whole lot of beef up front; it now has the personnel to beat up on any other front line.

We won’t. For what it’s worth, word around Chapel Hill is UNC still thinks KU leads after JRE’s visit. I think there’s a real chance we get a commitment (silent or not) this weekend.
-
@BShark I still have high hopes that doke, accidentally of course
, runs into Bruce as he is running the floor!
. Stay off the court! Or not.

BShark said:

As long as Wade stays 8’ away from the basket he is safe…and Wade likes to play outside so he will be pretty safe.

Eh? Did you mean will close? I would assume JRE and Hurt are the top targets.

From what I’m told Florida St won this battle.
-
@BeddieKU23 Damn. Guessing he will start right away there.

A good chance that happens especially since he’s doing a post-grad year at Brewster and will go into College a bit older. Hamilton, I’m told has done the best job recruiting him since he became a hot commodity.
Shaka, however intrigued him with playing him at the 4 so there’s a slight chance the salesman gets in his head
-
Read this from Bossi this morning on what he heard happened with Samuel Williamson…
What happened? During the recruiting process, Williamson never hid from his family ties to Kansas or from saying it was his dream school growing up. Early on, other programs tried to kill the Jayhawks by saying that they weren’t making him enough of a priority. Then in the summer, the Jayhawks did prioritize him and got him on campus for an official. Instead of committing, though, he decided to take a few more visits. Rather than wait and possibly miss on other targets, Kansas took a commitment from four-star Christian Braun as Williamson was finishing his official visit to Louisville. A day after Braun committed to Kansas, Williamson committed to Louisville.
-
@Woodrow Good PR answer from Bossi and it certainly makes sense, I don’t think that it exactly how it played out though. Jmo from what I’ve read and heard.
The staff does seem to like Braun though. Probably not much of a step down from Sam. Braun is also a different kind of player and a better fit for Self TBH.

That’s what I thought you meant. Your reply to my initial post was off, I think you misread, or some phone auto-correct shenanigans. No worries.
-
It would be really sad to miss JRE AND Williamson in this same class. Two solid recruits with major KU connections, you just can’t miss on both.

Not willing to call Sam W a miss.
-
@BShark Well, I can agree with that in a way. We did want him.

Found this pretty interesting read this morning, They were talking about the FBI scandal , said it has been a year since original arrests have been made, they gave an account on how it has effected the schools in their recruiting efforts since , the schools were: - -USC currently # 1 recruiting class 2019 - - - Oklahoma State currently # 11 class- - -Mia Fl doing pretty well - -Arizona has rebounded fairly well- - -Auburn currently # 7 recruiting class - - & Louisville currently # 3 recruiting class for 2019.
Makes me feel that much better , the way I see it if they schools recovered which it looks like very evident to me then whatever happens - -IF anything does no reason why we can’t either - these are the schools listed most prominate in the sting and they have done pretty dam well so not to worried about things.- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Stability is the key.

Not sure if it was in this thread or not but Isaac McBride is down to Auburn, Virginia, and KU. He is visiting this weekend.

Wow so he went from down to Tennessee and KU to KU and two others… Obviously Barnes getting James changed that dynamic.
If he leaves Late Night without being a take then I would assume its Auburn. Pearl is a slimeball
