2020 Recruiting
-
@FarmerJayhawk Maybe so… But the exams are in English, as they should be.
-
Why though? The US doesn’t have an official language so I see no issue with translating the tests.

Also, knowledge of a 2nd language doesn’t mean one is intelligent or stupid.
If they would “pass” the test in their native language it means they should qualify for college.
-
@BShark Probably because the courses are done in English, and if they can’t pass the exams then that pretty much means that they (though many athletes are not really there to study) will not be able to follow said courses, let alone learn much. Which would throw the whole scam into question, now wouldn’t it?
-
@Marco svi says hi!
-
@Crimsonorblue22 And he passed the exams, right?
-
@Marco I know he couldn’t hardly speak English when he got here, DG taught him!
-
That’s why we have interpreters, tutors. I’m not sure if you can’t have somebody read the test for you.

Svi might have taken the TOEFL instead.

@FarmerJayhawk odd profile for top 50 kid. Recruiting just picking up for him?
-
@BShark A 6-7, 205lb. PF, that’s why his offer sheet is what it is. Unless he grows and inch or two or can play on the perimeter, he doesn’t seem to have an elite level profile.
-
Profile claims 6’9’’
-
Late riser kind of kid. Not sure how much interest KU has right this second but Self will be on him this summer to evaluate.
-
Big kid, definitely not a wing. Room to grow into that frame of his. He is a 4 man. Will be interesting to see how this one goes. My buddy knows of him as he has some NJ connections, I’ll ask what he knows

Poking around it seems like he is Louisville’s to lose.

Bryce Thompson had a great time on his visit to ku today

New offer. We’re probably going to need a wing. https://247sports.com/Player/CamRon-Fletcher-46048763/

Well looking at his top 5 schools at the present - - looks like he is at least possibly interested in staying close as he list both Missouri & K-state in his top 5 - -Soo we get involved who knows might be a sweet addition.
My 2 BIG hopes for 2020 right now at the present time - - - Kyree - always have wanted him - -and Bryce - those are at the top of my list - that would be awesome

I would definitely take those two, have been high on Bryce for awhile. I think we’ll have ourselves a very solid class in 2020.

Not sure as far as bigs - -where we at - -who were on in 2020 you know or heard of any? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 I’m going to have to do some checking on that. I was hoping for Foster, but that isn’t happening.
-
Pg r.j.davis, class of 2020 has picked up a offer from ku
-
21 @camronfletcher1 9h Class of 2020 Blessed to receive an offer from the university of Kansas

ya KU has offered. - -So far has offers from Marquette , Indiana , UCLA , Pitt - -& now KU. - - North Carolina interested - Herbert Davis was watching him the other day - -no offer yet - - Villanova interested - -no offer yet - - -visited G’Town
Currently ranked at # 86 - - by rivals - -pretty sure will be moving up as he getting more and more interest. - -Much rather have Dix - or hell even Love would be nice. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I think theres a half dozen or so guards higher on the list. We know they are extending plenty of offers to those they like or those they hope have some interest
-
Think we could get RJ Davis.
-
Maybe so but is he good enough compared to others we are after. Someone like Nix or Mane really push the needle. Not sure Davis is that guy.
He can shoot and has handles but he is not an athlete. Think moore
-
@BeddieKU23 thinking we don’t get Nix. Depends how many guards we need. If we need just two I’d love for it to be Thompson and Mane. Think Davis is very realistic and obtainable though. Could live with Thompson and Davis.

I agree to an extent. I want Thompson for sure and I think he is someone that could really pair well with McBride due to his bigger size and skill.
Davis with McBride isnt a big enough backcourt imo. I dont see Davis a starter at KU or a difference maker at that size and average athletic ability at best.
Mane mentioned KU as one of the 4 schools showing the most interest. I really liked his video. All the combo guard intangibles and he is a plus athlete. That kid has NBA potential at his size as a pro PG
-
Heard from my friend about Lance Ware. Probably late to that party but didnt get any negative info about him either. He is a post player and the video makes that apparent. Plenty of 6’7 types have success in the post with the right frame and he looks to have that frame to play the 4
-
@BeddieKU23 Louisville the front runner?
-
Yes forgot to mention that part. Louisville definitely in deep there

Yeah I really like Mane as well and hope he is prioritized.
-
@BShark I’m with you on that one, Thompson and Mane.

From Bossi, “Why he’s rising: Harris originally signed with Missouri State in the class of 2019, and he could have been a potential player of the year in the Missouri Valley. The guy is just a leader. He wins a lot of games and makes everybody around him better.
Current recruitment: Schools are just figuring out that Harris has gotten his release from Missouri State. Expect high-major offers to flood in during July.”
-
@FarmerJayhawk well…well…do tell…
-
I also think there’s a chance he reclassifies back to 2019 later this summer and we RS him.
-
Wow. I found this …me likey…:
-
So like, I mean, he pinned the KU offer tweet. Seems dece.
-
Didn’t really see a lot here that just gave me that Wow factor - -nothing special , a lot of lay ups. - -only seen a couple of out side J’s he is decent from this tape but nothing that blows me away.

He’s a guy you redshirt that is a pain in the ass for other teams as a JR/SR. Also friends with Braun I believe.

Later this summer meaning next week from the looks of it.
-
@BShark I like him. i hope we get him.
-
Highlights are unimpressive. Below the rim player, short, not long, no stroke. McBride without a shot or a short Garrett without the D? I’m hopeful the video was just poorly done.
-
@dylans I’m not sure when those highlights are from, but this summer he’s been extremely good apparently.
-
Video posted here was from last March.
To me, he looks like he has decent arm length for his size. He finishes well in the lane with both hands. He absolutely can jump. In one of the newer videos he dunks from almost being flat footed.
I’d also rather get another PG in here now instead of hoping we land a big name next season and end up settling for someone almost exactly like him to be the backup next year. Get someone in now that can learn the system for a full season. Who’s to say he won’t push McBride out of the backup role? AND literally the worst case scenario is that he gets here, realizes he doesn’t belong, and transfers out. This is a no lose situation from my point of view.
-
Sounds like 2019 is the plan, and he’ll likely redshirt unless he pulls an Ochai and goes nuts.

You really hit on the knoggin here. No risk. Get the guy in if he wants and see what he’s made of. In today’s landscape if he doesn’t fit he’ll move on
