Official Visit?
-
Possible Reclass? He’s already 18. Maybe trying to sneak into the 2020 draft?

I’d pee myself.

@BShark Sorry, he WILL be 18 in July.

It’ll be official. He’ll be 19 during the 2020 draft year so it’s possible assuming his grades are in order.

That’s what I like to hear.

I’m not trying to get myself too hyped, but he looks like a guy who plays hard. And that jumper don’t exactly look broke (form-wise).

I thought he was already committed somewhere wasn’t there a Lewis and him a hot item together? - -probably just me forgetting to take my pills again
-
@jayballer7 What kind of pills do you take? Are they good?
-
@Marco - he must have pretty good pills. He’s a mainstay here…
-
@Gorilla72 damn. I think we all need pretty good pills anymore, don’t we?
-
If Zeus Jackson, who - Greek mythology not withstanding - is related to Adonis Jordan joins KU, along with Poseidon Williams then we soon - class of 2023 - will be in great shape.

KU offered Josh Hall, a 6-foot-9, 190-pound junior small forward from Moravian Prep Academy in Hickory, North Carolina. Norm primary here.
Hall, the No. 139-rated player in the recruiting Class of 2020 by Rivals.com, is considering KU, Oklahoma State, Florida, North Carolina State and others.
"They just have had really good success with those guys and he told me I remind him of the first time that he saw a young Brandon Ingram.”
-
KU was watching Jalen Suggs, Maddy Sissoko, Daron Holmes Jr, Karim Mane among others this past weekend in the 20 class. I know I missed a bunch they were everywhere

He’s from Durham LOL.
So I guess we have to hope he is good and develops but not good enough to get a Duke offer…
-
@BShark I think that there is alot of “let’s offer this guy so that they’ll have to offer too,” stuff going on.

Self checking in with https://247sports.com/Player/Jabri-Abdur-Rahim-46036363/ tomorrow

Self had an in-home visit with Greg Brown.
He’s busting his ass lately, perhaps rejuvenated?

That’s going to be one tough bucket of cash to overcome. Talented player. Hope we keep in it

That’s what I was going to mention. - I was going to say hope we weren’t losing track of Brown , I know he is interested in KU some things mentioned about Brown from the past weekend playing in the EBYL:
Greg Brown , 2020 class - - - PF 6’9 plays with the Texas Titans: - Has the size , length and athleticism - -becoming a more well rounded player - - ELITE level rebounding , he is developing his handle and Jumper. – Numerous times faced up his man and through a combination of dribbles then step back pulling up from 18 ft. - Had a game 24 points and 14 rebounds - -shooting – 11-15 from the floor with 4 jumpers.
Bill is getin after it - would be sweet to see him come in the year after RJ leaves - -just let that tide roll. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The gloves have come off, it seems.

Not sure this is any different then any other year with Coach hitting the road. I’d assume this is an open period for contact with recruits. Maybe he’s changed his approach some? Getting to see some priority targets before the AAU season leaves most of these kids too busy is never a bad thing.
-
Some yikes news on Caleb Lohner from the same poster with the RJ Hampton info re other players on RJ’s AAU team.
“The only player of significance is Caleb Lohner, who recently transferred to the same school that Enaruna goes to in Utah. Lohner’s dad makes Marty Frankamp look like a saint. Tom Izzo point blank told the dad, “if you are going to bad mouth his high school coach, then he can’t play for me,” and quit recruiting him.”

Not sure we would want that kind of headache right?
-
@jayballer73 Exactly my man.

Sounds like Bryce Thompson has blown up this Spring. I’ve seen a lot of articles about how much he has improved. I really hope Self and the staff are prioritizing him. Looks like a lot of new schools are recruiting him now.

He’s always been good imo. Hope this doesn’t end up like Sam Williamson.
-
At this point probably will. UNC is sniffing

@BShark is this the son of a former player of Self’s?
who am I thinking of?

Agree but we always seem to lose out for being in early. Hopefully the relationship is what wins out

You know guys (yeah, I’m going to say it), I’m not a big fan of - weren’t these Condi Rice’s recommendations? - these new agent and NBA draft rules. Who is going to come back? “Gee, I don’t know, we’ll let you know when we do.”

Many of the proposals while well intentioned were terrible. The road to hell and whatnot.
-
@BShark Not so sure about the road to hell. The problem that I have with the whole thing is that it only takes into account the right of the student-athlete and not the program or university. If the rights of only the student-athlete are important then why do we need the NCAA?
-
@Marco I was thinking about all the changes in general. The regional camp thing is a nightmare that is good for no one.
-
The problem is the people that created the recommendations only looked at the things they didn’t like about the current system, without considering the things that are good about the current system.
For instance, let’s say you’re a random kid that isn’t ranked very high (or not ranked at all), you go to a non-powerhouse school in your state, etc. Under this new system, your chances of proving yourself and getting on a P5 coaches radar are basically gone because you won’t get the invite to the camp to go toe to toe with some of the top players in your class. That’s how Jevon Carter ended up at West Virginia. That’s part of how Frank Mason got on Bill Self’s radar. They weren’t super high ranked throughout high school. They probably wouldn’t have gotten an invite to the regional camp. But the AAU circuit allowed them to prove they could flat out play, and that landed them P5 opportunities. This system takes that chance away for a lot of kids because they won’t get those AAU chances to prove themselves.
Yeah, AAU has its seedy characters and questionable ethics, but it also has a lot of programs that give kids exposure that they otherwise could not get playing for their local high school, and playing a role that might be more similar to their college role. There are a lot of 6-6 guys that will be wing players in college, but they are the de facto center on their HS team because of talent and personnel. But on their AAU squad, they play the 3 spot, which is where they need to be to get properly evaluated by college coaches on both ends.
No system would ever be perfect, but neither the old system or this new one really solves the problem. This one tries to take the money out of the top part of the game, but may suffocate the lower tiers along the way. Think of it this way - the kids that get recruited to the low major programs, or the D2 level, are now going to miss out on that type of exposure. Those kids play AAU, too. Maybe they aren’t a fit for their local D2 program, but there’s a coach in Ohio or Texas or Florida or Arizona that has a roster spot that they fit into. But with these local camps, non major recruiting is going to get really regionalized, which may cost some deserving student athletes a shot.

Seems like N’Faly Dante is leaning toward staying in 2020. Nobody on his list really has room for him at this point other than Oregon and not sure he wants to go there.
-
We need to sign Dante.

Swoosh

Honestly, the prep school to pro might happen for Dante. Could see a year overseas as well. Don’t want to be “overseas guy” like Jerry Meyer was circa 2016, but it’s an appealing option for a kid like N’Faly. Hate to say it but if he goes to school in 2020 I think Oregon (with Scottie Barnes, we’re not getting him) or UK. Cade Cunningham is one of my top 5 players in the class and I’d love to have him but he and Dante could be lethal.
