2020 Recruiting
-
“Playing this summer with MOKAN Elite (an AAU program based in Kansas City) and is a tough as nails floor general and a winner,” Rivals.com’s Eric Bossi wrote of Harris on Tuesday.
-
Well guess they are seeing something seeing as how we offered. - -Sounds like from people in the know that he might transfer back to 2019?
If we wanted to and If he was interested enough with us - - - would we even have a scholi for him? - - let’s see don’t we still have ONE open? - - - I don’t think he will be a guy that commits to soon - - he might sit back and just see how many and who ends up offering
-
saw a post from a fan saying that this kid is going to commit after Peach jam - somewhere anyways. - - That is this weekend I heard , can anyone one else verify that this is true? - -just curious. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 sounds like it’ll be next week and to Kansas. Probably for 2019
-
Harris looks great in this video. Shifty, solid handles, finishes with left or right, creatively. Can dunk. Put on some muscle since other video.
-
@approxinfinity I’m always down with true point guards. I don’t think you can have too many of them.
-
@approxinfinity much better. He didn’t look power 5 caliber in the first video.

Well if that turns out to be the case , maybe if he is rising like articles are saying then - - maybe we stole a solid player , cause they talking like he is going to be getting more likely then not a lot of higher major offers. - So if he commits that soon then would be good. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Another player that is going to add serious depth.
-
@jayballer73 I liked him from the first second because his tapes show some real good assists, great court vision, and some great drives. He has outstanding dribbling skills… still not sure his outside shot is there quite yet. The guy he reminds me of is a young Tyshawn. Without the turnovers.

Harris almost got a triple double this morning. Easily one of MoKan’s top players along with Dante. Self was also going to watch Karim Mane but Mane couldn’t make the first game. Should catch him tonight.
-
Not sure if it’s breaking news, but KU is in a good spot with Isaiah Todd. Self did an in-home over the summer and Todd will visit KU in the fall. Look out below!!

Well that would be nice for sure. I had thought he was a pretty heavy lean towards North Carolina - - wonder by the time it rolls around when he is to visit - wonder IF we get hit with any post ban and such wonder how badly that will effect us with him? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’d be really surprised if Todd ended up at UNC. I think they go with Brooks and Bacot at the 4 and 5 in 20-21.
Oh if we get hit with a postseason ban all bets are off. The 2019 class would look like that of 2013.

So your thinking we won’t get hit with a post season ban? – - just curious. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 I doubt it, but the NCAA could decide otherwise. I know the powers that be at KU don’t expect significant sanctions.
-
By “too far” he means “in like a week.” https://247sports.com/college/basketball/recruiting/Article/Dajaun-Harris-2020-guard-Kansas-Missouri-Texas-Missouri-State-133589336/

Evan Daniels tweeted this out about 6 hours ago about Harris:
Been extremely impressed with 2020 prospect Dajuan Harris at Peach Jam. - - - Tough , competitor , at lead guard spot. - -Terrific passer/vision & a scrappy defender.
Someone asked if he thought he would re-classify BACK to 19 or stay in 2020 and watch his offers blow up?
Now if he is rising like I’m now hearing - and people just realizing he has gooten his release - I’m thinking and think he will stay in 2020 and watch the big time offers flow in - -I’m sure from what I’m hearing he would be getting ample offers if he stayed in 2020. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk any word on who the staff is watching this week? I’ve haven’t seen Self and the staffs name mentioned much on Twitter.
Have you heard anything on KU and Nix? Or have they prioritized Thompson more now?
Seems like those are the only 2 top 20 players they have a legit shot at…

Isaiah Todd.
Caleb Love could end up top 20 and KU has a shot there.

Harris, Adam Miller, Isaiah Todd, and RJ Davis off the top of my head.
Nix is a slow burn. I think KU is in a good spot but he’ll be a spring guy. Thompson will likely decide in the fall.
-
I’ll add Self was watching Thompson for both his games yesterday.
-
Also, re: Harris. The plan is to come in 2019, but he needs a few more classes to make it happen. Could be a thing where he shows up first day of school or doesn’t come until mid-year.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Good to hear. Seems like the staff is taking Thompson very seriously and not banking on the connection.
Good info on Harris. Is the plan still to announce next week?
-
@BShark that’s last I knew but we’ll see.
-
Self and staff all watching Caleb Love today.
-
@Woodrow Niiiice. Love that kid.

Update on Nix. Should officially visit KU in the fall. Date tbd.
I’ll be really interested to see how the staff plans visits to Late Night this year. We have so many overlapping guys since we really only have needs at PG and the 4-5. Do you have two guys like Nix and Thompson visit on the same weekend? Or do you split them apart and tell each they’ll be a starting guard? And that doesn’t even factor in Davis and Love. Suffice to say I really liked the guys we’re prioritizing and it could be a really fun class.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Avoid the death penalty and land 2 out of the 4 you mentioned and KU will be really good again.

Looking at Peach Jam box scores 4 of the 6 Mokan games are up
Dajuan Harris has had these stat lines PTS AST REB STL
4/7/2/2 2-4 shooting
13/10/9/3 5-10 shooting
4/6/2/1 on 1-2 shooting
5/8/4/3 on 2-5 shooting
Definitely seems like a guy that is pass first and really picks his spots to actually shoot. 31 AST vs 10 turnovers.
Mokan won this morning advancing to the semi-finals, that box score isn’t up on their site yet.

This is from Bossi
THE EYE OPENER
DAJUAN HARRIS
Why him?: MoKan Elite has made what is becoming an annual trip to the quarterfinals at the Peach Jam and the jet quick passer and floor general had an awful lot to do with it. He’s as good a passer as there is in the country and he proved to be a legit high major option with his ability to lead, control pace, defend at the point of attack and ultimately lead his team to a win. This guy doesn’t care about stats, he just cares about winning.
Recruitment: Signed with Missouri State in the class of 2019 but has reopened his recruitment and mentioned interest from Missouri and Texas with a Kansas offer.

Don’t talk dirty like that to me, Bossi.
-
@BShark Gotta sign him. Are you kidding me? A pass-first PG who picks his spots! As good a passer as there is in the country? Sign him now, please.

I’m afraid he doesn’t re-classify - - stays in 2020 and watches his offers blow up like they have talked about. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mokan is in the finals at Peach Jam.

This is from the Arkansas board so tifwiw but they mostly believe KU is the leader for KK Robinson.

Sorry bud - - but who is this KK Robinson?

Final is on ESPNU at 1

I think they’d only take one of Robinson and Davis. Too many midgets running around isn’t good for Bill’s (or anyone’s) defense.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Agree. Corey Evans posted contradictory info with KK. Honestly, might make me feel even better about our chances LOL.
-
Apparently Mane is eligible for the 2020 draft. Knowing that, I’d stay away.

I don’t think we’re really that involved given we’re after 5-6 other guards right now, depending on whether Harris stays in 2020.

What was the deal there? I didn’t see Harris play at all end game, caught it late at a Mexican restaurant
-
@approxinfinity u mean till end of game? I didn’t see much of him either but I was in and out. Didn’t know til end he was guy in head band. Nothing impressive to me
