2019 Recruiting
-
@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.

Matta declined Georgia job
Crean meeting with Pitt

Crean takes the Georgia job

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

Vanderbilt’s uptick in recruiting isn’t suspicious at all.

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
-
Anfernee Simons as expected skips college and declares for the draft
-
-
Since obtaining his release from Pitt, PG Marcus Carr is hearing from these schools: Texas Cincy Minnesota Iowa State Gonzaga Xavier UMass Akron Ohio state
-
Big development in our 2019 plans. Jeff Capel took the Pitt job. Look for names like Vernon Carey and Cole Anthony to be more open now.
-
Could be the difference in KU landing Hurt too… Also Achiuwa who I was told Duke was trying to get involved with
-
I think Hurt will be KU or Minnesota. Thought that before this move even.
-
I wouldn’t be surprised if Minnesota is looking for a new coach. It seems we positioned well for Hurt and situations around him might be helping us further

From what I understand, he is the top post target and the staff has made that clear.
-
USC continues to cheat the legal way. Hiring Eric Mobley as an assistant, he has two sons that are Top 100 prospects in 19 and 20
-
What’s the significance of Jeff Capel switching jobs?
Edit. Never mind. Lead Duke recruiter. I was thinking if someone else.
-
@BeddieKU23 Lol of course.

He’s the big time recruiter for Duke.
-
@BShark Who is Houstons coach?
-
@dylans Kelvin Sampson
-
@BShark Thanks, that’s who I was thinking of.
-
Capel got 7 years to field a full team. He might need em all.
-
This is BIG if RJ Hampton jumps to 2019.
-
Capel did well at VCU and not that good at OU, much like Smart. Capel taking the Pitt job means he was not in line to take over the Duke program after Coach K retires.

Definitely I was seeing a lot of dukies starting to think RJ was someone they would go after. I’m sure they still would but this puts KU in a better spot
