If KU pushes they can get him. Robinson and McBride are tight. But he’s also down the board a ways.
I say we try to sign as high-profile a point as we can. Bill runs pretty much a three-guard set, I get that, so question. Do you think McBride and Harris are more than serviceable? I.e. can they as sophomores get us to where we want to go, which is always a conference and national 'chip? Where do you think they will play? 1, 2 or three? Who do you think we have more than just a chance to sign? If you say Nix - despite some of my posts - I would certainly not be disappointed. I want Thompson bigtime but he is a two, I’m talking PGs.
Caleb Love
I hear you, Thompson is starting to look a bit problematic, isn’t he?

I say we sign (no-brainer) the most high-profile point that we can get. Bill runs pretty much a three-guard set, I get that, so question. Do you think McBride and Harris are more than serviceable? I.e. can they as sophomores get us to where we want to go, which is always a conference and national 'chip? Where do you think they will play? 1, 2 or three?

Trotting out Harris and McBride as our starting guards next season would absolutely terrify me. Harris is an old school PG. He’ll only play on the ball. McBride is more versatile, but it’ll be hard to have them both on the floor given their slight stature. KU has a good chance (i.e. I think KU is in the top 3, will get a visit, and could close) at Thompson, Nix, Miller, Love, and Robinson. I think they want at least 2, maybe 3 of that group depending on how the youngsters develop.
My preference is Nix and Thompson. Both have great size and have complementary skillsets. Nix a traditional PG (probably the best passer in HS basketball) and Thompson is a scorer who can really shoot. Love is right behind them given his stupid wingspan (6’9), athleticism, and developing offensive game.

I get what your saying. You want the elite kids to come in and earn their keep. If they are afraid of competition then you get a good glimpse at their state of mind and maybe those kids are not a fit for a tough nosed coach like Self. A kid like Nix is probably only in College 1 year so positioning his brand is important.
Even if Devon was coming back another year I think Caleb Love would still be a major target. He’s a combo guard in my eyes and we know the value those can have on this team. It might be harder to sell with Devon back but I think he’s comfortable playing either guard spot. Should be interesting
See you understand what I’m trying to say. May not be the best in trying to express what I’m trying to get across - -but what you say - -ya that’s What I’m trying to say. - I’ve always looked at it this way.
If your that so called stud - -getting all the hype/praise poured on you fro these so called recruiting experts - -if your that good - -then you sure in the hell shouldn’t be scared of competition proving that it’s your time - -your position to lose - and if like you say if they run from that - -you do get a good look at their state of mind. - That’s exactly it - -I DON’T want some 5 star stud that just thinks they should walk right in and just have the position given to them.
So if just because we are deep or so called deep at that position with McBride - - Garrett - - Harris there - you won’t come? - -Good – & Good luck - -I DON’T WANT YOU PERIOD. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don’t have a good read on the situation. Seems like he’s Nike bound, but things can change fast… A bag of cash can travel mighty fast down I-35.

Let’s see, we’ll lose Dotson and Moss, Agbaji too maybe - guys, trust me, if we sign Nix and either Thompson or Love I would not be the least bit disappointed!
-
KU gets the last visit for Caleb Love. October 12-13.

Sounds like UNC is the runaway favorite however.

Bossi thinks Kansas. I’ve heard the staff likes their spot as well. Visits will be huge.

@FarmerJayhawk @BShark Is there a heavy “swoosh” influence at work with Love?
-
Little interesting to hear. - - Off Kentucky Board , article where Nix says he STILL would like a visit to UK.
Their posters saying looks like Cal isn’t even really interested that much about him -Saying it’s looking like they are going to be really Guard Top Heavy
They talk like they are more interested in Christopher @ Point And Green at the SG - saying they already have Boston - - Good chance Quickly is back -Juzang good chance he will return - -possibility of Allen back - -and then Clark good chance of him re-classifying and thinkin they have a great shot at him
Sounds fine with me - -be just one less School we would have to go up against for the possibility of coming. - -Talking about Nix is really big/solid - - great passer - - but knock on him I guess is his jump shot – has no shot – - well we shall see how it turns out - -hopefully we can get a visit from him - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Have we heard anymore on the JT Thor thing? - -Do we know is he going to visit or what? - -Do we want? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Anybody else heard anything on a offer to Javante Brown ? = - - -KU - - Texas A & M - - - U Conn - - -Indiana - - -Marquette - - Stanford – & Purdue - -7 footer - -I looked and off 247 he like ranked 115 th? - - ummmmm - this is what we want? - - just curious - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Haven’t heard of anything out of the ordinary.

@jayballer73 Thor will visit. Not sure when. Could be Late Night.
Not much will happen with Brown unless (until?) he reclassifies to 2020.

Would we want Brown - looks like he might be a project - -4 yr player - -any info on him?

@BShark Kwame has four years of eligibility left. A bit long in the tooth, though.

I read yesterday that Nix was going to cut his list to 5 today. Has anyone seen anything on that?
Also we made the top 10 for Jaemyn Brakefield. Bot sure how big of a player KU is in that one though.

Brakefield is a big take.

He announced it’s happening. Prediction: Kentucky, Maryland, Alabama, KU, UCLA.

I don’t think we are a player for Brakefield - -interesting to see we even made the top 10. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Anybody know for sure exactly how serious things are with RJ Davis? - - I mean are we in any kind of shape with him or what? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Definitely behind a handful of guys on our board.

ya I didn’t think he was tip top - - good player but think we have other options

Yesssss. Still got it. UCLA, UK, and KU is the “list within the list” IMO. Kentucky hasn’t offered yet and is in the top 5.

Jalen Green is their big target though.

@FarmerJayhawk Stated this sometime back. - - - off their Board - - they don’t think Cal is as interested in Nix as Nix - - -is in UK.
They are more focused on Christopher @ PG they say and Green at SG. - -Guard top heavy.
Already have Boston - -Quickley probably returning - -Clark re-classifying -I think in less UK misses on these others - - we aren’t gonna have to worry about them.
Just because a player lists his top five - -doesn’t mean he is a school’s top 5 - -Kentucky has other interest at this point - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 100% agree. If it’s a fall decision, it won’t be UK. Nix was at LA today for an official, but still working on scheduling one to KU. It wouldn’t surprise me to see Nix and Thompson visit the same weekend to develop some chemistry, and KU is the only school they have in common.
-
Love looks nice. Real nice. Is there a legit chance KU lands him?

That would be a nice combo to land for sure - - not feeling as good as I was about Thompson - -sounds like Okie-State trying to slither him in with oh what’s his name? - - Cunningham? - - is that it ? - -can’t remember - but looks like those two are bud’s - I mean still feel fairly good on him but not like I did. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Just me? - - feels like w stand a fairly decent chance. - Wouldn’t say we wee a clear cut leader by any means - But think we are right there. - -
Actually though I think we stand a better chance at landing Nix then Love. - -You wouldn’t hear me bitching about that though if that turned out to be the case. - -I think Both are pretty dam good players - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

dylans said:

I think we do and the last visit could be key here. Some recent chatter that UNC leads. Hopefully he takes all his visits.
-
Nix and Thompson or Nix and Love, would take - bigtime! - any combination of both, perhaps throwing in a Brakefield and Garcia for good measure.

I think our chances for Brakefield are next to none - -feel between those two Garcia is the better bet

Well Nix just committed to UCLA. Damn.

FarmerJayhawk said:

So much for the visit.
-
@BShark especially since as of last week the camps were working on dates.
-
So dumb. Why even come out with a top 5 and then commit the next day…
-
@Woodrow it was a bargaining chip. it drove his price up. hard pass…
-
I was going to post yesterday I would be surprised if he let Cali without committing. Once there was chatter UCLA led and him taking the first visit there with no other scheduled visits. Made a ton of sense.

Woodrow said:

Better then stringing along programs during visits

Down the list of targets we go.
-
@BeddieKU23 Oh I agree 100%. Just don’t see the need to come out with a list. Just go take your visit and commit.
I hope the staff is prioritizing Love and Thompson.
