New 2019 Recruiting
-
@MoonwalkMafia I always “knew” that kind of crap went on but i didn’t KNOW it for sure.
I’m real close to being done with this crap.
Maybe I’ll go back to golf after a 30 year hiatus.
Maybe FootJoy can sponsor me. Maybe I’ll get gold plated clubs, ride in Bentley’s and smoke Cuban cigars, hookers at the 19th hole - AND I won’t have to order off the dollar menu any more. I can order from the big boy’s menu!

well good to know we are in Tristan 's Enaruna final 3 : - - we getting the final visit too.- - - - -Miami - -April 24th - - - -Creighton - -April 26th - - & - Ku - - April 28th - -we need something to start going our way
-
Looks like Beverly is committing today and Miami is the choose. Running out of options.

Looks like we aren’t paying, which hurts our chances with ANY recruit.
-
KU never really pushed on Beverly.
-
Duke and Duke

Sad.
Not really we feared this for a while

Woodrow said:
Tristan Enaruna is down to KU, Creighton, and Miami. He will visit all 3 at the end of the month per Evan Daniels.
If we can’t land this kid against those two schools with immediate playing time then WTF.
Problem is, he isnt a starter next yr. Doesnt even play the 4 in HS
-
No, he is a wing
-
Precious or Holyfield at the 4
-
@FarmerJayhawk Can KU beat out Miami and Creighton for this kid though? We know both will back up the cash dump truck.
Staff has to get creative I guess. Hope it happens, I like him long term.
-
Oh and would take either of those two but I think I would actually prefer Holyfield. Achiuwa might be high drama/maintenance.

Then that is a mistake on the staff. They need to be busting their a** on every kid that can make a difference next year.

Ya think? And we’re over a barrel it would appear. But I’ll skip this presumed OAD. I’d rather start Lightfoot.
This is on Self. It’s why you recruit. He’s left us naked and exposed chasing the highly ranked guys he … er, uh … Adidas has apparently paid in the past.
-
Friend of mine in Wichita says KU is leading for Dante if he reclassifies and Doke leaves
-
@FarmerJayhawk that would be great, indeed. If we could land him and Hampton as well as Enaruna, alongside Braun and McBride and perhaps a grad transfer/juco recruit that would a bonanza recruiting haul!

Bill and Kurtis. Looks like he’s getting the full court press.

He’s also originally from Mali. I know Cheick enjoyed his time in Lawrence and is thankful for the giant wad of cash KU threw at lawyers and PR people to get the NCAA to clear him.
-
What a mess this years cycle is turning into
-
I know a kid that plays on a local High School team in the town that I live in. Well, “plays” might be overstating it - he’s the towel boy. BUT - he’s seen every play of every game for the past four years. Plus, he’s seen things in the locker room that can’t even be put down in black and white. I feel that by osmosis, he should be as good as any player we’ve seen at KU for the past 2-3 seasons. Plus, he’s got all seven toes (family is originally from Chernobyl…) and one pretty good eye. Should be off crutches by the start of next season.
I think we could have a shot at him…
-
@FarmerJayhawk hear anything about juiston?

Health and academics are the big thing. If he can graduate (may be summer) and is healthy, his market should take off. I think it’ll be after this semester before we hear much.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I saw espns top grad transfers and he was 3rd.
-
Read where Braun & McBride both were name player of the year in their State by the USA-Today - good for them, nice to know. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
For what it’s worth glad to see we get the last visit for Tristan. - his visit’s are April 24th - - -April 26th - -and then us - -April 28th
-
@jayballer73 what do you think, break out the Asses From Young (but of age) Lasses?
-
-
Grant Sherfield ended up at Wichita St.
Virginia picks up the #400 ranked recruit. I’m sure he’ll turn out good.
Harlon Beverly picked Miami

Let’s just hope he even makes it

FWIW on Rivals Bossi and Corey Evans think we get Precious and Enaruna. And every day that goes by make it less likely Doke leaves…

Evans thinks Memphis for Precious according to the article published like 4 hours ago. But Bossi thinks Kansas. Both do have Enaruna.
I feel very good about us ending up with Hampton. He is an Adidas kid…

Self seemed extremely optimistic last night at the banquet whenever recruiting / roster make up was brought up. I know he is not going to go full doom and gloom, but to me it was like maybe he knew he had somethings in the pipeline coming his way.
-
@Kcmatt7 Adidas couldn’t get us Zion or even worse Hurt. That said, RJ seems to like KU a lot so that really helps.
-
don’t put yourselves through the RJ torture just yet. Certainly doesn’t help the teams shooting problems but he does mostly everything else spectacularly
-
@BShark Fair points. And I see he is playing for an Under Armour team now anyways. So maybe I retract everything I said lol.

Good catch. Just misread it. I’m really watching what Watford does. If he ends up at Memphis, Precious won’t.

His dad has always been his AAU coach and they have been UA, Nike and Adidas.
If this will be literally just RJ’s decision I do think the pick will be KU. His dad is large and in charge I believe though.
-
@BShark Well that makes more sense.

We have such a fantastic track record when “dad’s” lead the recruitment.
-
Great point about Watford. The masses seem to be split on which cash pile he’s going to take. Watford impressed me during the Mcdonald’s game
-
RJ is a game changing type player and I hope we make it happen. I think he’d push for the KU FR pts record.
@BeddieKU23 from what I’ve read, Self has a good relationship with RJ’s dad.

And I thought we might finally get to have a drama free season for the first time in awhile…

It honestly can’t hurt that the Hamptons saw that Grimes continued to get huge minutes despite sucking out loud. Not that I think it would be an issue for RJ and he’d get huge tick anywhere but I think it does help that they know Self would help showcase RJ. Self also did a great job showcasing Wigs and Josh.

We’re due for one of these to really pay off. I think Hampton plays with a Russel Westbrook type mentality too. So I think some fans may even like him…

“So we’ve got some things that we’re working on to do,” Self said. “But I think in the next 10 days a lot of this is gonna clear up.”
Sounds like Self is planning on signing someone here coming up.
-
@Woodrow is there a link to an entire article by chance?

Wouldn’t shock me to add Holyfield and Enaruna.

@Woodrow thanks pal
