Watch Bill close on Stanley and Hampton and Doke stays lol.
- PG: Dotson - Mcbride
- SG: Hampton
- SF : Stanley
- PF: Ochai - Garrett
- C: Doke - Big Dave - Mitch
A pipe dream, but it’d be one hell of a group.
As laughable as you say - it sounds got a question , the one out of the entire group that I thought for sure would be gone - It was Doke. - the question being if he was 100% gone - why is he one of the last possible two to go - -why is it he is the one who hasn’t said anything yet? - IS He thinking about returning for his Senior? - Never say never.
Actually I think we have a solid chance at Stanley AND Hampton

@jayballer73 In finance they talk about present vs future value of money. It’s understood that the present value of a dollar is always more valuable than that same dollar in the future. Same reason why everyone who wins the lottery should take the lump sum.
I’d take the commit. Our roster is looking too thin to be very picky or to take big gambles. Also, seems like we are going to have plenty of spots open for all comers if you ask me.
you thinking pretty much the same as me - -I’ll take the commit - the 1st to commit - -I’m taking - -if we get the 2nd later on then hell ya - -but I’m not gonna pass up on a quality player for the possibility of higher ranked - again possibility
-
Well just a little follow up with Precious, just another random thought. - - Was reading and thinking following on what Cory Evans was saying and then seen this today.
Cory had said it was a toss up right now with Precious and that Georgia and N Carolina was the dark horse’s but that KU and Memphis were probably the more accurate places for Precious to land very well could be KU & Memphis - - so OK if that indeed is truly the Case then - - - -
I would think would have to help us with Precious as I seen that Memphis is trending pretty hard with Trendon Watford I believe is his name 6’9 - - - -5* think him and Precious play the same spot PF - -makes you wonder if he lands there - -quite possible that they feeling might be losin out on Precious and going harder after Trendon - -would love it - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I mean, it’s not out of the realm of possibility. KU is well positioned with Stanley.

It’s not. And that team would be salty af. Really takes convincing Hampton to come play next to Stanley though.
Imagine all the dunks from that group…

Agree but man RJ would be a NEED because of his shooting.
If I were putting in cb picks I’d say
Hurt - Duke (duh)
Stanley - KU
Precious - KU
RJ - Cloudy
I’d love to get Beverly too and that’s a winnable recruitment but man that would take some legendary finessing to get Stanley, RJ and Beverly and I just don’t see it happening.
-
@BShark Of those 3…what order would you prefer?

RJ is an NBA player all day. So him.
Stanley and Precious can’t shoot but both are next level athletes that KU would be fortunate to have on the roster next year.

Why hasn’t doke decided?

You mean like signing the top 3 small forward prospects and 4 of the top 10 overall? Never say never, but KU doesn’t have Nike ahem influence.

Too injured for the combine and not enough playing time to improve his poor draft stock from last year would be my guess. That’s all it is though.
-
@BShark well he can’t test

I’m guessing his circle realizes he won’t be playing in the NBA ever. So the choice is do they want to have him go pro in another country and start cashing checks. I would guess Doke loves Lawrence. Hope he stays.
-
If Dok were less injury prone, I’d love to see Les use him as a tight end. He’s more likely to make NFL money than NBA.
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:

My gut says he’s back.
-
@dylans no way!

I think signing Ochai helped even more. That article about the food awhile back was great.
-
@BShark I don’t think he loves Lawrence.

My only concern is, if we somehow pulled of Precious, Stanley and RJ, they aren’t exactly the most humble of guys… I could see some personallity clash. Or, they could feed off of each other… High risk high reward.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’d love to have that problem. Like paying taxes on winning the lottery!
-
The team banquet is next Tuesday. I’m guessing a decision from Doke might happen by then.

I’d love for him to announce at the banquet.

Grad Transfer TJ Holyfield from SFA announced he is going to take a visit to KU

Apparently he didn’t play this year? Odd.
Anyway we will need some post guys.
-
Looks like Dedric Lawson lite.
-
Shoulder injury
-
All time leading shot blocker at SFA
-
BeddieKU23 said:

I got aroused by his defensive stats on sports reference.
-
Always liked him, remembered the yr they won a tourney game and lost to WV. He can shoot the 3 too. Ideal 4 man if your going with shooters

And 3PT shooting %s over .400
-
He is visiting Illinois as well and Underwood recruited him to SFA so this actually could be a tough pull.
-
BeddieKU23 said:

I mean Dedric averaged more blocks per game at Memphis than Holyfield did at SFA. In 3 seasons, Dedric has 161 blocks. In 3 seasons, TJ has 133 blocks. So ya, Dedric lite.
-
But can he jump? I assume he can jump. That was the issue for Dedric and why his blocks tapered off at the B12 level.
-
I wouldn’t say no but I’d kind of rather just play Dave and Mitch.
-
Idk about Mitch.
-
He’d probably average 4 blocks per game in the Southland conference.
-
KirkIsMyHinrich said:

Fair. He would also probably average like 5 pts. Mitch is basically just a zero on offense.
-
Similar feelings. I wouldn’t be upset. I wouldn’t be pumped. He’s better than an empty scholarship.
-
@BShark Averaged 2.4 pts in 11.7 minutes in the Big 12. Exrapolating to 30 minutes it’s about 7 points. Adjusting for an easier SOS in the Southland probably around 10ish pts.
-
Hawk8086 said:

OF those three myself I think I would want # 1 Precious for front front court help - -then probably Hampton because of his shooting - -the 3 Stanley - but man I’d still take Stanley would be a hard choice for the 3rd spot
-
@Kcmatt7 Exactly where I’m at with it. Going to need bodies/numbers so a couple grad transfers make sense to fill out the roster.
@KirkIsMyHinrich You stop it with your fancy math.
-
@BShark My fancy math isn’t enough to prevent my research professor from yelling at me weekly.

that’s what I was wondering myself earlier today. - of all the people to have a decision - -I thought he would of been one of the 1st ones to make an announcement - -thusly I agree with you - you don’t suppose he might be thinking of coming back do you? - -could be he wants that degree NOW - been discussed so many times BUT just don’t think his NBA status is gonna change that much think he is gonna drown in the modern day NBA - -trying to keep pace with the fast pace up and down the floor - Some one might give him a shot off his size alone but truly think his money is over sea’s - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So we could replace Grimes’ production by playing Mitch more?
-
I don’t see how Doke is back. Self basically said so.
