2020 Recruiting
-
Who thought that Thompson would jump that high? I sure the hell didn’t. But I have always liked Thompson and hope that we can sign him, maybe get him, Berry and a guy like Xavier Foster come November - get 'em wrapped early. Going to be real tough - if not close to impossible - to get Foster out of Iowa, though.
Isaiah Cottrell, Kyree Walker, Bryce Thompson and Ty Berry? I’d take that in a heartbeat. If that class were to somehow fall in place we would still need one more big.
-
If Duke came calling, Foster would teleport out of Iowa.

New 2020 player rankings. Bryce Thompson jumped all the way up to #19!! Jumped 70 spots.
Interesting list. They still have Harvey 80% percent KU lean.
-
@Marco I wouldn’t put any stock into those %. Those are based off of people’s picks. What happens is people go in and log a pick and might have been a year ago and then a school stops recruiting him and people don’t change their picks. Those % are worthless until about a month or so before someone announces.
-
@Woodrow yep
All those Harvey picks are super old and I believe KU stopped recruiting him.

the only way those% change is if someone makes another prediction - -these picks are suppose to be coming from people that follow these kids around the circuts - talk to them almost daily - and some of these guys just follow another lead - about the only legit one’s I pay attention to is Evan Daniels - - Jerry Meyer - - & Eric Bossi - - & Andrew slater - they are usually pretty legit - -the rest just usually piggy back off those 4

What do you guys think of Isaiah Cottrell? Seems, if we sign him, to be an immediate contributor - not a star - who will work hard.

Program guy. Going to need more in that class. Dream 2020 class, assuming Dotson and Silvio go pro, and we land Wilson, Walker, and Bilau: Daishen Nix, Makur Maker, and Bryce Thompson. So the starting lineup would look something like Nix, Walker, Agbaji, Wilson, Maker. That team could play stupid, stupid fast.
-
@FarmerJayhawk That is one hefty recruiting class. If we signed all five of those guys you certainly wouldn’t hear me bitching, Lol
-
@FarmerJayhawk Maker at the 5, Bilau 4, Walker a 3, Nix the 1 and Thompson the 2 - not too shabby…!

How good is he? Didn’t think we were on him that heavy. That is, until now. I think our 2020 class is going to be loaded. Alot of great depth in that class overall from top to bottom. A team could sign 5 players at the bottom of that list and stiil have themselves a great recruiting class.

Really talented kid. Plus athlete, really good scorer. I don’t think he can run the point full time yet, but he’d be a nice complement to Nix, who’s more of a traditional PG. Self would love him. He’s a terrific penetrator and has a really good handle. His jumper is streaky but some of that is probably just from his lack of a good S&C program.
-
@FarmerJayhawk kind of like Sherron Collins but bigger?

Bigger vertically but much smaller horizontally
-
@FarmerJayhawk Can’t see Maker playing in college.

I concur. Won’t stop Self from recruiting him though.
-
ku has offer five-star jr caleb love on his unofficial visit today
-
Isiah Cottrell is trending to West Virginia. Wonder what that’s about
-
@BeddieKU23 Money probably. But he has ties to every main contending school on his list except KU. I believe he is from the WVU area originally. Still has family there.

Thx I didn’t dig to find if he visited or anything. Would be a quality signing for them if he does go there
-
@BeddieKU23 I know KU was in there pretty good and I was hoping he would be a Jayhawk. Still pretty early but obviously something cause that CB train.

I agree he would have been a solid option for KU as well. We know we are going to need bigs.

Bryce Thompson will be in LFK next week.

Lock him up Bill.
-
I think we have a great shot there. KU, OU, UNC his top 3. He’ll be a fall signee
-
Great news
-
@FarmerJayhawk I tried to figure out what LFK meant for like a minute before finally giving up and searching the acronym via google. Maybe it’s because you seem wholesome, and swearing doesn’t bother me at all, but I was not expecting it to be what it was, even though it was very obvious.
Anyway… carry on.

So , from my perspective it looks like we are finally wrapping up out 2019 recruiting -should be finished tomorrow afternoon. - So , with that being said I wanted to put out my early Christmas wish for 2020 hoping we don’t have so many misses like this year and we can get started - we are getting a late start although know we have been recruiting some for it also. - -So here is my wants - would love to have - -thinking we will need PG ,SG , SF ,and Bigs - Sooo:
As for PG wants in order they would be : Nix - - / Love
As for CG wants in order they would be : Thompson- - / Mane- -OR you could flip - - can’t lose
As for SF wants in order they would be : Walker ( yes please ) - - / Abdur- Rahem
As for BIGS wants in order would be : ( Greg Brown - - Please , Please yes )- - / Todd ( - would love to get him for sure , but just don’t think it’s going to happen
Welp their is my requests for 2020 - I’ve been really good this year - -soooo if their IS a Santa - -you got my list lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don’t think so. He’s a Raleigh kid. I don’t think he stays in NC. At least UNC peeps don’t think so.

Rock Chalk, baby!!

@approxinfinity only one after Wilson. Moss has a financial aid package, at present, but once the season starts he’ll be given a scholarship.

Yep, I’m all for the league being better.
KSU and Baylor added guys recently as well.
With Cottrell, he isn’t a guy we would have wanted starting next year but has long term potential to be quite good.
-
Agree I think he’s a bit limited at the moment but with Development your looking at a solid P5 post player. I think KU can get someone a little more versatile and maybe ready to contribute earlier but that remains to be seen what will be available, interested, and will fit.
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah he’s very springy and can immediately contribute on D. Offense at this stage is just garbage man stuff though.
-
Walker updates where his crootment is at. VIP and a video. Good stuff actually.
