High roller battle.
Yessir. Todd has played on every shoe circuit over the years so there’s no built in loyalty there. Honestly think KU has the best shot of those 5. UK seems like they’ve moved on after Todd decided to stay in 2020. UNC and Todd aren’t that tight. Michigan seems an odd fit. Can never count out Memphis though.

Always nice to land in a top five - -when in reality it means with this one we finish in the runners up spot - -again , to either Kentucky OR N Carolina be interesting to see which one gets him
-
More news, we made Caleb Love’s top 6: KU, UNC, Louisville, slavers, Zona
-
This smells like KU vs. UNC.
-
Mercy - -what the hell am I missing? - I see yet ANOTHER recruit - -Puff Johnson - -not that we were in on him - -but yet - -here we go another recruit that has Stumpy as one of his top schools. - -What the Hell? - -what exactly is ol sweaty selling these kids anyways?
With the heat that has been on that program and Coach’s yet still seems recruits drawn to him like a Venus fly trap - -I JUST DON’T GET IT Someone please help clarify this for me - -just exactly does he have that is causing this - players still showing major interest when we not even sure what might be given to them as Punishment from this whole NCAA?FBI scandal thing - -doesn’t seem to be making much difference - - scaring recruit away - -so what gives> - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Still besides puff - - I am still not seeing all the love with these recruits they are giving ol stumpy

JT Thor reclassifying to 2020 and committing the 26th. Haven’t heard a firm leader but I’ll ask around.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Kansas/ Kentucky? Or are Maryland, Florida, the field in it? KU lean I hope!

I can’t see Kentucky. They just got a combo forward today and will get another in Lance Ware. Oregon is one to watch. But KU is in the top tier for sure.

Whoa, what is this? – -where have I been? - -who is this Thor kid? - -didn’t even know we were recruiting any Thor - - - can you tell me something about him? - -any good? - -Do we have a shot at him?

Never discount Cal.
-
just checked the UK board - -some were asking if he was on campus this past week. - -Talking about how him and Todd would be a good combo.
A couple saying according to twitter looked like KU was the leader. Talking about looked like he really didn’t have any flaws - - his -jump was shot was pretty good high arch pretty unstoppable - sound ok to me
Says recruitment is wide open - - - -and ya going to Announce the 26th of August - that would be a nice start. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

-
@jayballer73 Lol… And don’t forget Apollo Jackson!

Oh a lefty - -a sure thing for sure being a lefty just like me - -can’t miss lol - - Seriously though looks like a smooth stroke. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Slater recently put a CB into Okie Lite for Bryce Thompson… Shenanigans going on in Stillwater to land Cunningham and Thompson??
-
@BeddieKU23 seems pretty clear something strange is going on behind the scenes there.
-
I understand the connection with Cunningham to OSU but Thompson besides being from Oklahoma I’m not getting this. Seems since his rise in the rankings he’s getting more behind the scenes attention. I’m sure the swooshers are nippin at the feet
-
@BeddieKU23 There is a rumor he wants Trae Young shot volume.
-
@BShark Scratch him off the list. We don’t need a shot hog.
-
Something strange is going on behind the scenes everywhere. Some scenes are just stranger than others. I’m perfectly fine with a kid who wants Trae Young volume not attending Kansas.

Interesting rumor. I mean its easy to lump a kid into that rep for being from Oklahoma but wonder what legs it actually has. I haven’t seen Boynton to be the type of coach to facilitate “shot volume” but maybe he will for Thompson.
This recruitment certainly looks to have taken a life of its own
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I think Boynton is a damn good coach.

OSU does have the occasional class like that, probably about once a decade or so. Probably just Nike spreading the wealth to their second tier programs. LSU is another example and so was Washington before this year. Teams that about once a decade or so land a monster class courtesy of the Nike machine.
-
LSU could stay a perennial threat depending on Wade.
-
@BShark I have a lot of respect for Boynton. I thought hiring Cunningham’s relative ( brother?!?) was very smart.
-
Xavier Foster released his top 5: Iowa (likely landing spot), ISU, Baylor, Providence, Va Tech

Well at least KU was eliminated early. Thought there was a chance he would end up at Duke but it seems they didn’t want him since they never offered.
-
Well , seems to be some confusion here to me. - -What I had been hearing was that JT Thor was going to make his decision by the 26th of August as to where he is going to play.
Yet when I read the article that he had indeed re-classified and him stating that his recruitment was WIDE OPEN that there were no leaders - the article said he won’t even list his top Schools that he is interested In till the end of August. - -So which is it? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Corey Evans just had a weekly mailbag and he thinks Thor ends up at Oregon or Kentucky if UK offers.
-
And Nix will visit Kansas this fall. Date TBD.
-
@Woodrow I didn’t Corey guess on Thor. Are you thinking Dante?
Edit: never mind, found it!
-
Man, how I would love for us to sign a true inside/out small forward, 6-7ish 225 lbs, a Paul Pierce kinda guy - though obviouly not saying if we signed one that he would ever be that good.

Hope we have a real shot.

We absolutely do. He’s one of the more wide open five star guys in the class since he doesn’t play on a shoe circuit or anything.

KU does not make the final 5 for Greg Brown. Kentucky, Texas, UNC, Memphis and Auburn.

Dam call me Naïve , fully understand we wasn’t gonna be his final destination BUT to not make his final 5? - -interesting , but just as well , no reason to waste time. - -I think he stays right in Texas myself. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

That’s a shame, he’s a fantastic talent but I knew this one was all about the swoosh
-
Pretty predictable I think we were all prepared for it.
-
Agreed. I think we know the type of kids that want the paydays
-
… and we should consider ourselves lucky as a result.
-
Just for the curious - - wanted to say again - - JT Thor will NOT be committing of August 26th as has been mentioned - -his birthday- - he will at that time be giving his list of his top schools and is planning on announcing his commitment in October - -The word that is going around is that he will be Coming to KU late Night - -just letting you know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Will be interesting to monitor. Dawson Garcia could potentially visit KU this fall. One of many schools in contact with him.
Garcia also continues to hear regularly from North Carolina, Kansas, Kentucky and Duke. Texas, Marquette, Arizona & the hometown Minnesota are also heavily involved.
-
@BeddieKU23 Would love for us to be able to sign Garcia.
-
I know some here are not fans, but KU officially offered Andre Curbelo

@BShark because?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 People weren’t impressed with him.

For your viewing pleasure… my man, Andre Curbelo:
