New 2019 Recruiting

-
So this Kyree Walker thing could happen. We’ll take the first of him and Tucker.
-
Why not both?
-
I just hope that it all shakes out. Sign someone, please…

Enaruna began his official visit yesterday. Hopefully Miami and Creighton weren’t able to drop off the cash

No room for two guys that are both immediate starter level.
@FarmerJayhawk Seen a lot of good things about Walker. It’s gotta be us or Arkansas you think but we’ve been here before with a Hillcrest Prep player…

I think the real question is can KU match the offer. Also if that stuff about him wanting to play a lot right away isn’t fluff KU might not be the best choice for him.

“Bill Self said he needs a point guard and a point guard that can do a lot of things," Walker said. "I’m 6-6, 230, so at my weight and my height there’s not a lot of guards [like me].”

Saying he needs a point guard makes it sound like Dotson isn’t returning. Not a scenario we’d like to have

Miami still has the most immediate playing time to sell. I can’t imagine any kid in the Top 100 saying they want to come in and sit the bench but if playing time is truly a factor yeah KU probably isn’t where he goes

I think this is just Slick Billy at work.

It would only hurt Bill Self if he started lying to recruits. K can lie right to their faces and turn around and get the #1 class the next season.

I would have to say I think he is probably right - -really big boy and has or seems to have it all - -when he attacks the rim - - - LOOK OUT

I just really have a hard time seeing Devon in the NBA at this point. - -Had a really good year - -but still has things to improve on - -think where is the case with some where with them coming back - just doesn’t help them a lot - -BUT in Devon’s case – I think coming back for his Soph year would improve his NBA stock dramactically. - I think he has a great shot in the NBA and have a nice career -
I mean maybe Coach obviously knows more - -maybe he is sticking -but as good as a year he had - -think it might be a mistake from going from a midle 2nd round to quite possibly coming back and becoming a late 1st round. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The only KU level starter on the team right now is Dok. (Adbaji might be hurt or he may have been playing out of his head at first and came back to earth, Dotson may be gone, Garrett is a backup, McBride and Braun -not ready yet, McCormack is a year away) Plenty of room for 2 starter quality guards. And we both know if Cal or K wanted an extra body it wouldn’t be an issue. We’ve got to get back to the good old days of having high quality players like TRob waiting on the bench for their turn.
-
As muc as I would love to have RJ - -I’m afraid that Calipari getting involved even though they have so much returning that some how he will be able to manipulate twist words around to sway Hampton. - His daddy was talking about being impressed by Kentucky but still non comital but Hell RJ is not even going to decide I read about is not even going to make his decision about re classifying until in July and then probably choose his College in August.
So I love RJ BUT if Kyree wants to Commit and it’s earlier - like others have said I’m taking the first to commit - -I am not going to put Kyree on hold to see what turns out with RJ - for sure not willing to let Kyree get away and hope for the possibility of RJ
-
@dylans The staff expects Dotson to return.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I don’t think Self is lying here per se. THREE HEADED HYDRA PG LETS GOOOO.
-
@BShark I do too, but that’s only one starting guard with another 2-3 starting guard spots depending on team make up. Plenty of pt for more quality guards.

I don’t think you can add RJ, Walker and Tucker. Honestly though it sure seems like Tucker is Auburn bound anyway, and UNC is involved as well.
-
I wasn’t factoring in RJ. W/o RJ I see no reason KU couldn’t land Walker and Tucker. With RJ it could get crowded. Walker and Tucker compliment the pieces we have better though. RJ, Garrett, and Dok couldn’t play together - the lane would be choked shut!
-
Unfortunately you’re probably right on the Tucker front as well. He seems to like the south. Hard to pull a southerner that wants to be a southerner.

UNC is out. They took another grad transfer at the same spot.

Ah good to know.

I’ll also add the staff feels they’re in as good a spot as anyone with Precious. Of course that could change on a dime depending on Silvio/Walker/Tucker.

@BShark I don’t think Dotson is going to come back.
-
@jayballer73 I second that. Whoever commits first, take.

Noted.

@BShark do you really think he’s not coming back, or are you just reading that from Self? I think he’s coming back.
-
They have sent some combine invites out?

Of course Dotson is coming back. I’ve never said he isn’t. I will be shocked if he stays in the draft.

Just passing it along! If Memphis gets Watford, Precious will not go to Memphis. That could be interesting.
Barring him getting a first round guarantee Dotson will be a Jayhawk next season.

Nice! The most important part of that post was “(could change on a Dime$)”

I see TX Tech picked up 4* Clarence Nadolny from Pennsylvania. 6’3” guard. Some comments on Twitter about strong improvement this year…

Beard is very good at identifying talent.

Mercy buddy - -I’m just not getting why you are so convinced that Devon is coming back. - -I would bet for every reason you could try to come up with that why he isn’t - -I could counter with why he will. - He is NOT ready - very solid year - -but not a great year. - -Again I feel 10000000000000000000000000000% the reason he dipped his tootsie’s this year was ALL informational on what he needed to work on. - Now like I have stated numerous times - - -AFTER next year - -all bets are off. - - I’m just not feelin it this year - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Could be a month from now. Lots left to play out. We probably won’t know the final roster until August.

Yeah I should have actually stated my thoughts. Precious is probably the least interesting option to me that KU is in on. He’s just too raw.
Also isn’t Watford going to LSU? Seems like that is all but done.

Not at all on Watford. He may end up there but with all the stuff LSU is going through it’s a lot more open. Nate Oats has done a great job making up ground as well. All 3 schools probably have a shot.

Creighton or KU for Enaruna. Could be done by the end of the week.

Would be nice if it’s KU can’t lie. Just to get the ball rolling again.
Has he publicly cut Miami or is this some scoopage?

I’ll get a better read on it after the visit is done. Yeah, idk if it’s super public but I absolutely know he likes Creighton and KU over Miami on April 29th, 2019.

I’m thinking BShark may be right on this - - just seen yet another CB for him and LSU looking more and more like that could be his landing spot. - - 247 shows them in the lead for him now.
-
Ya you know what? - -With what seems to be all the Panic - - the sky is falling - - Self is doing a suck job with his recruiting - -yet here we are.
Seems like there is still a really good chance we will end up with a really good recruiting class - starting to take shape a little better - -just going to be another case of late year additions. - Although I would sure like to have a year where we aren’t sweating little gold nuggets about what the hell we are going to end up with.
I mean let’s look at the possibilities we STILL have on the Table for this year : - -We have Rajon Tucker - - - We have Tristan Enaruna - - - -We have what TJ Holyfield - - -We have - - RJ Hampton - - - We have Kyree Walker - - -we have precious - - - also could STILL end up having Silvio back - -if we end up with any kind of Combinations from this - - we are still gonna be fine - -BUT man would love to hear something positive quick. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 You might be right. I have never said that I don’t want want him to come back, only that I don’t think that he will. Reason #1 - I’m not so sure that he can (I know, he can work on his 3 point shot, learn to D up, he’s taller than Frank, etc.) improve his draft stock all that much by coming back - I won’t go on and on about why. Reason #2 - I don’t think that coach is pushing for him to come back. Perhaps Self might think that a PG rotation of Hampton and McBride (McBride already being a 3 point threat) is better than Dotson. Reason #3 - Maybe Dotson knows for sure something that we don’t.
