2019 Recruiting
-
Agbaji is a nice signing and I wouldn’t push him out but if we have the room to take 5 players (axing Cunliffe maybe?) then you add an elite wing if you can. Achiuwa and Wilson definitely qualify.
-
Harvey with a huge game last night, dropping 42 in the win. Hit 7 threes. He’s averaging over 25 a game since his ankle got healthy, though that’s obviously a bit skewed with the big game last night. Still, seven threes in a game demonstrates that Harvey has improved his overall shooting touch even more (was 7-10 from three, 15-21 from the field).
-
His game is growing on me. Making that perimeter shot would make him even more valuable as an addition to the team.
-
Another 2019 player to keep an eye on Lester Quinones. Plays with Achiuwa at St Benedict’s.
6’5 wing that can shoot. I’m going to reach out to my Brewster friend to see what he’s got to say on that. #66 ranked player
Quinones told Rivals that he feels as if Illinois, St. John’s, Minnesota, Kansas and Georgetown are the five programs that he is hearing from the most.
Kansas: “It means a lot to be recruited by them. They haven’t offered yet but it is a really good look.”
Doesn’t sound like KU is that interested just yet…
-
@BeddieKU23 Maybe he wants Kansas? Don’t see him listed on Rivals or 247 but he claims an offer on twitter. Makes sense that we would see him a lot because of Achiuwa. Someone to keep an eye on if other options don’t work out I suppose.

I’ve Actually seen him play a few times this year living right here in Topeka with him - -out at Hayden. - -Just looks to me that he is continuing to just get better - -nice stroke. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 We should meet up at a game some time. I’ve been to a few of Zach’s games as well.
-
@BShark you could help him w/his computer
-
I would like to see Zach develop more of his off the dribble game. His upside is limited if he is only a spot up shooter. Granted, with the way his shot is coming along, he can be a very good spot up shooter, but that’s the difference between a Brannen Greene type career and a Travis Releford type career.

Oh you have? - -ya we should. - - it’s not very long before the tournies start up. - -It’s just a hop skip and Jump for me as I live in the southeast part of town. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

-
@dylans Thank you.
-
Norm Roberts is at Hayden to watch Zach Harvey now
-
Sam Williamson will be at AFH tomorrow. He’s KU’s if they want him. Rivals has him top 50, Scout/247 have him over 200 for some reason. KU legacy too.
-
Self visited JRE tonight.
-
Zach Harvey had 28 points tonight coming off the bench for Hayden
-
This post is deleted!
-
@blackmild33 Coming off the bench?
-
@Hawk8086 it was senior night there.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ahhh…thanks
-
Ochai and Malik Hall will be at the game tomorrow night.
-
@BShark and me! I saw Cole and his wife on mass this am, of course I had to shake his hand and say congrats. They were so nice. Said they were in town til tues so I’m guessing he’ll be there for Sherron.

The kid just loves KU.

Another guy KU should be on in 2019. Very skilled and versatile guard. Grew 5” in the last year so shooting is still inconsistent, but will get better as he fills out. https://247sports.com/Player/AJ-Lawson-46039513

Looks pretty good. I think Oregon and UK have better Canada pipelines than us but Wiggins can’t hurt.

Josh Green mentioned KU as one of the schools talking to him daily and recruiting him hard. Green is a stud. Big guard much in the mold of Grimes

He is a fair bit better than Harvey at this stage from what I’ve seen. Their ranking is similar though. I wonder if we can take both.
Harvey was at the OU blood bath.

Achiuwa’s team won the NJ prep state title last night.
-
JRE visiting Arizona… Matt is saying don’t be concerned but we’ll see
-
@BeddieKU23 I haven’t heard of anything changing here, but AZ is AZ so obviously the history is there. I’ll keep my ear to the ground on this. I’ve been to a few of his games this year.

Yeah we’ll see how this plays out. JRE is good friends with Jontay Porter who’s godfather is Romar (Zona assistant).
-
I expect him to take more visits. UNC and some others have put forth the effort. So he should use all his officials and ultimately end up at KU.
Romar is every recruit’s god father it seems.

I think Green is better at this point as well and physically he’s really filled out at IMG. I like how Harvey is developing. 2019 class is really strong and KU is in a good spot to clean up

I expect him to visit others as well. The Zona one is interesting seems how they just offered. JRE should enjoy the process however for KU fans we all wish he would shut it down early…
-
@BeddieKU23 It sure feels like we are in a great spot with a lot of targets. I think it’s already basically down to KU and Minnesota for Hurt. He could pop early.
Then there is still Chandler Lawson. That’s a very close family and Dedric and KJ have been loving it in Lawrence.
That’s…a lot of 4s. Especially considering Mitch and KJ should still be around.
-
Don’t worry too much about JRE. He’s being smart and keeping his options open. I actually think Lawson ends up at Memphis with Penny Hardaway as HC there. Would be a heck of a coup. His HS team in Memphis is stacked. Both Lawsons, DJ Jeffries (their cousin), and #1 in 2019 James Wiseman is on that team. Don’t be shocked if he takes the Memphis job in the offseason.
-
@FarmerJayhawk That would be a smart move for Memphis.

Would MU be involved then?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I don’t think he will end up at a dumpster program like Missouri.

They have offered. Haven’t seen them that involved.
-
@BeddieKU23 They want to be involved. The optics might appear better if they don’t try hard though. I believe he did take an unofficial visit there.
-
Would make sense if Lawson went to Memphis. I think KU is going to get better anyway
-
MU is doing better now (tied for 3rd with 5 other teams but no hope for title) but it will start declining and after year 3 Cuonzo Martin will bolt right on schedule.
-
JRE visits AZ and KU shouldn’t be worried? Ayton says hello!
-
@JayHawkFanToo Yeah I just look at his history and I don’t see him having any long term success. He has been a constant tease.
-
@Gorilla72 well JRE isn’t going. So everyone simmer

YA Ayton say hello - -we now know why Ayton says hello from Arizona don’t we? - -100,000 dollar worth of Arizona/Sean Miller hello. - - do we think JRE will NOW go to Arizona after what we have heard yesterday with of stumpy? - -I think question - -ANSWERED - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 who is JRE?
