New 2019 Recruiting
-
@FarmerJayhawk I am not talking about getting 13 top 100 kids and or immediate impact kids. I understand that’s not feasible in most cases. I’m talking about kids that actually belong at the KU level. We have already heard Self is combing through the Juco ranks. JC kids hardly ever pan out at the next level.

Right. I’m saying it’s really common for blue bloods to have one or two open every year. If a guy leaves unexpectedly a lot of times it’s better to keep it for the next year or for a mid year transfer than take a flier on a kid who probably isn’t going to cut it

I could care less how we do it but we need a full 13. Just to deal with guys who cant play via eligibility, injury, who knows what else but we are great at having a less then 100% roster by the time it matters

Self is going to have to channel his inner Roy and bring back everyone who’s on the margin of staying or going pro.

Shat. Looks like Tre Jones is going back to dook. Think that swings Hurt to them. I assumed he was gone.

Everything is leaning towards Duke way for hurt

@FarmerJayhawk why is that?

Hurt wants to play with a bunch of talented guards. If Duke’s situation was really unclear, like Goldwire/Ellis/grad transfer, it’s a lot less appealing to play there. KU with Dotson is appealing too, but seems like Hurt has bought into being RJ Barrett but a better shooter or whatever BS K sold him.
If Hurt signs with Duke, I REALLY want to lock up Shakur Juiston. I’ve always liked his game and he’s the kind of steady presence we could use. He’s also a really good passer. And then hope like hell we can pull Stanley or Grimes comes back. Which FWIW I’ve asked on Cassius and the plurality of folks think he’ll be a Jayhawk but nobody was very sure. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if he’d push his commitment date back.

@FarmerJayhawk thx, I wanted juice to start with, but I’m not sure where Self plays him. Wonder how his knee is?

Same here! Unfortunately for us he wanted to start and not back up Billy. Oops. I’m sure that’ll be part of the vetting process for every school. Assuming he’s healthy, sign him up

Sure looks that way. Long way to go though.
-
Sure looks like KU will add a bunch of guys we don’t even know the name of yet.

I think we’ll be following it into July. There will be some reclassifications (Dante, Hampton) and guys can graduate in the summer and transfer. Could be wild or pretty tame depending on Grimes, Doke, and Silvio. Get 2/3 and we’re set.
-
Here’s the list of guys I’m tracking:
Hampton Stanley Beverly Tucker Utomi Juiston Hurt Achiuwa Dante

Johnathan Givony seems to think Hurt will be at Duke
-
Same with Russ Wood and Cory Evans from rivals.com. Whoever they are
-
@FarmerJayhawk So…Does it looks like we have a good shot at Stanley or Beverly if Grimes leaves?

Corey at Rivals is legit. This one’s over guys.

At this point I’d say Stanley is more likely than Beverly, but with Charlie gone we’ll have room for both if Grimes leaves. Beverly isn’t a guy that you’d want playing 30 MPG as a freshman.
-
@FarmerJayhawk yeah he’s picking Stanley to choose KU. I’m sure you knew that already though

I knew he was bullish anyway

Who is this in regards too ?
-
Hurt
-
Damn . I have no clue how Self is going to fill this recruiting class, but if he does so effectively I will never question him again.
I’m not holding my breath though. It’s looking pretty bleak to say the least.
-
Nobody should be surprised that Nike wins that recruitment
-
It’s funny how new recruits seem to be scared away from SDSs allegations but not when it comes to Duke
-
… R.J. Hampton continues to round out his game. The five-star’s talent level and athleticism makes him elite right off of the bat. Now that he can defend multiple spots, create for others and himself and has filled out more, the production has followed suit. Kansas and Memphis are the front-runners, with Duke and Kentucky not too far behind.
From Corey Evans ( Rivals)
-
Most official twitter accounts for those who follow NCAAB are saying Hurt to Duke. Just sayin’…
-
@Gorilla72 yup it might be a good thing. I know a few people mentioned it but maybe recruiting too 10 players is a bad thing. They’ll most likely be gone the following year anyways.
I’m just nervous about UCLA getting Rick Barnes (which sounds very likely) and then swooping I’m on Stanley.
Every year there’s something to worry about during the off-season and Self finds a way. This year was just a perfect storm of unfortunate events happening at once. It’s certainly not the beginning of the end by any means.

If Rick does end up at UCLA he has no relationship with Stanley

IT IS OFFICIAL TRE JONES WIL BE BACK

So Duke out for Hampton then?

Duke is never out. That said, Memphis and KU are well positioned if Hampton reclasses.
-
Is he going to reclassify?
-
Hope so.
-
I’m just gonna say - -no evidence - nothing to really go of on - But I’m just gonna predict - -we end up with Stanley - -just like I was riding Devon’s boat for quite some time. - -Were getting Stanley
-
When is the deadline to decide whether a player can declare or return?
-
KirkIsMyHinrich said:

In 2019, yes.

And the way I understand it, RJ is out of eligibility in varsity TX HS competition. He’ll either transfer or go to college in 2019.

He hasn’t decided if hes going to stay at his high school or go some were eles

Offered Kyree Walker who is 2020 but already moved back a grade so could reclass. Stud wing.
-
UCLA is now recruiting Precious. That just seems like a weird recruitment all the way around.

Would take. Arkansas and Memphis the ones to beat

Money has always been the most important factor in that recruitment. Been hearing such for over a yr now
My good friend knows his old Jersey coach and unfortunately precious just has people in his circle that it is what it is. Whatever school gets him is just an 8 month rental anyway. A classic case of a kid that should be allowed to go pro. I dont think Roy could put up with his circle, he fits their style the best tho

That’s what I was trying to insinuate . It’s almost like they aren’t even hiding it. I mean he’s saying he is wide open to any school still.

I think the fact he visited Roy and Bill and left with those comments was alluding to that. Also that neither school could afford to risk him on their roster… unfortunate. Such a talent

@BeddieKU23 The whole money thing is making me sick.
