2019 Recruiting
-
If Malik continues playing like he did yesterday, he will play himself into the draft.
-
Unless Newman and Vick sign with agents before the combine, I think we see Romeo waiting until May, after the combine and everything is settled. They have been this patient so far, why rush a decision? He can still commit in time to be here the first day that Summer practices start.

@BeddieKU23 my guess is mid-April. We (and Romeo) will have a much better idea of what all 3 rosters will look like heading into next season, and what kind of role he’d have on each team. Still think KU if Vick (and probably Malik) leave.
Ideal scenario for me is still Vick and Cunliffe depart, we land Romeo, and Malik stays to run some point, add some experience, and be our best shooter.
I would take that scenario in a heartbeat. I believe Romeo is the last piece to what could potentially be one of Self’s best teams.
Big fan of Vick but not this years Vick and I’m at peace if he pursues a professional career.
I prefer Malik back to guide the young’ns and become the next in line guard that Frank & Devonte paved for him.
-
@FarmerJayhawk @JayHawkFanToo I expect Newman to go the Selden route even if he doesn’t get drafted.
-
@BeddieKU23 I don’t want Newman running the point for KU. That’s not a strength of his. He’s much more effective offensively when he’s playing off the ball.

I don’t want him running point either and he wouldn’t. We signed a 5 star for that
-
RS JR Newman would be great to have on the roster.
-
@Kcmatt7 I agree with you. - - I am just not getting where people think he might be coming back. - I really think like you do - -I have thought this for some time - -even if he is undrafted I think he goes over sea’s and makes money there. - I just do not see him coming back in any scenario. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

James Scott from Kennesaw State is transferring. Presumably transferring up. Averaged 17 ppg this year.

Should we start a thread for transfers in and out of programs?
-
@BeddieKU23 I’ve thought about it. I think it’s probably fine to do so, or just mention the high profile ones in the recruiting thread.

@BShark wonder how Mac and Bishop Miege came out?

Miege won 57-54. There are rumours that Harvey will be at Miege next year to team up with JRE.
-
@BShark best recruiting high school
-
@Crimsonorblue22 All the catholic school recruit right? I know Hayden recruited when I was in HS.
-
I should try to catch a few of their games since my daughter graduated from Miege.
-
@BShark in the KC area, Miege is by far the worst.
-
@bshark Take those #’s with a grain of salt. Holcomb is just up the road from here and they are good, but not great. Usually short, rarely super athletic - there’s no D1 talent playing for Holcomb. But those are nice shooting numbers against anyone.
-
Don’t be surprised if Williams End at Oregon
-
DJ Jeffries will be committing to UK tomorrow night.
-
@BShark Wonder why he is committing so early. Makes me wonder if Cal has a reclass up his sleeve. With Knox and Diallo both leaving they don’t really have anyone to D up stud Wings. Whiffing on Langford, Barrett, Reddish and Zion kind of put him in a bind I think.

CAL PASSED ON REDDISH AND LANGFORD. #UKFACTS

@Kcmatt7 Reclass rumors swirling right now.
-
@BShark watch for him to flip from UK once Penny Hardaway gets the Memphis job. Wiseman may also reclass up to join him. Only way Wiseman goes to 2018 IMO. His mom would like him to stay home, or wait to leave until 2019.

Memphis would be good in a hurry.

@BShark Someone give me a job.

Bodes really well for us!
-
Indiana fans really think Romeo’s going there. They’re just gonna get hurt. Don’t take recruiting so personally.
-
KU is in an extremely good position for Romeo.

Tubby out at Memphis
In with Penny

Surprise surprise.

I have been saying for a while now that Tubby is way overrated. He won a title with Pitino’s players and has not done anything noteworthy since then.

He did do okay this season with a roster that isn’t the same as what Memphis was under the Calipari/Pastner years. Tubby can’t recruit in today’s age which I think ultimately hurts him the most. Then his transfer rant just seemed to hit at the right time for Memphis to can him. Memphis can do better
-
Gotta hand it to Brucey, he was out recruiting last night. At EJ Liddell’s game.
-
Illinois fans are hilariously scared of Kansas at this point. Worried about KU for Liddell. I doubt there is serious involvement there. Too many better options than a 6’7’’ PF. He is a fine program player but the main schools right now being ILL, KSU, ISU etc… says it all. Missouri I believe has even backed off a bit. Maybe his recruitment still blows up at some point, it’s early for 2019 yet.

Vanderbilt “conveniently” pushed a few guards out to make room for Langford

nothing to see here…righttt
LSU being looked into. I can imagine Vandy could be next

Also losing an elite recruit to a Drew would suck.

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl of Miege, also a finalist for 4A-I and all-classes POY, named Sports in Kansas Junior of the Year, Ty Berry of Newton named Sophomore of the Year, while Jackie Johnson of Wichita North named Freshman of the Year. shar.es/1LeQIv

Will be interesting to see where he ends up. And please be it anywhere but UK

Bryce Thompson (2020 recruit whose dad played for Self at Tulsa) is shooting up the rankings.

That’s a big jump and with Self after him early have to think we are sitting great there.
RJ Hamption #3. Boss
Jalen Green is a freak
One of my early favorites from this class is surprisingly under ranked at this point. Noah Farrakhan a PG from IMG. To this point I don’t think KU has really reached out to him. I think they should
