New 2019 Recruiting

FarmerJayhawk said:
RJ Hampton officially a 2019 guy. New final four: KU, UK, Memphis, Texas Tech. Decision sometime in July (probably late).
After reading his USA today blog - -I feel and fully expect to move that decision day up before long.
Talking about wanting to get back with the Coaches soon and then sitting down and talking everything out with family and then making his decision - -I don’t think there is ANY way he waits until July now unless of because of the EBYL
-
I feel like we are getting Enaruna.

That probably means TJ Holyfield is heading to Illinois to reunite with his old coach. I can’t see any way both of those guys would come to KU together.

I feel like Holyfield is more tied to the Silvio decision but we will see. I could see adding Enaruna and Holyfield if Silvio isn’t allowed to play.
I think if Silvio has to leave, the dream scenario would be adding RJ, Walker, Enaruna and Holyfield.
Starting line-up
RJ
Dotson
Walker
Holyfield
Udoka
Just enough shooting to get by and insane athleticism.
Ochai and Garrett as the main bench guards. Then the post gets kind of murky. History would indicate Enaruna wouldn’t really play.
-
Potential target back on the board. Boogie Ellis decommitted from dook. I bet he goes back west but I expect we’ll at least kick the tires.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Interesting. Wonder what happened there.
-
He got recruited over before he even stepped foot on campus (Stanley). With Jones, Goldwire, and O’Connell coming back, he would’ve had to fight to be the 3rd or 4th guard when K promised a shot at starting.
-
I bet Memphis makes a strong push for him. I think they were one of his finalist. Penny has a great chance to end with just a monster class to add to Wiseman.

DAM - - makes me wonder now - - -with DUKE being RJ’S dream school - -with Ellis de-committing - does RJ put them BACK on the board? - -kind of like the last minute Stanley recruitment? - sure the hell hope not

I doubt it. Dook has long preferred RJ stay in 2020. Pretty sure that ship has sailed. Can’t see him going there with Jones and Stanley on board. Boogie wasn’t going to get any of RJ’s minutes anyway.
-
FWIW sounds like this has been in the works for over a month now. Sounds like Boogie wasn’t happy Duke was getting involved with Stanley and still going hard after RJ.
-
Evan Daniels saying Memphis is the team to beat. Very interesting re: Hampton…
-
I was surprised Boogie didn’t go to Memphis to begin with. Felt like he favored them over Duke and the fit didn’t seem right

Let’s get Silvio cleared this week, Tucker committed next week, then Hampton in June. Work for everyone?
G: Dotson, Garrett, McBride
G: Hampton, Garrett
G: Tucker, Ochai, Braun (RS)
F: Silvio, Enaruna, Mitch
F: Doke, McCormack, Mitch

If Daniels is saying Memphis is the team to beat for Hampton - - then why are you EXCITED?

Daniels is saying Memphis is the heavy favorite for Boogie Ellis, another PG. So maybe the Memphis staff is thinking they may not land RJ.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think we are getting Tucker or Silvio back for that matter but I would absolutely take that. Probably the dream scenario.
-
@BShark KU puts on the best official visits in the country so I wouldn’t count us out for Tucker.

I wouldn’t be. RJ in effect cut dook when Tre Jones came back.
-
I think it’s good news for Kansas (and Tech). RJ cut Duke when Tre Jones said he was coming back for another season. RJ is a lot better than Ellis and would easily start over him or Stanley if he chose Duke. So I doubt RJ cares at all about Ellis leaving Duke. Memphis going after Ellis could mean that they don’t think they have a good shot of landing RJ anymore, though. Losing RJ to Tech would really suck.

This and adding Stanley I feel. Now if somehow Duke gets added again, then I’d be super worried but I don’t think they are a player in this one currently.
-
I’ve heard RJ announcement won’t happen until late July? That makes me worry a little bit about Duke. A lot can happen in 3 month$…

Exactly. - -with him not announcing until July - gives Rat face all kinds of time to get back into the thick of things. - -The LAST thing I need to hear is that Duke has been added AGAIN to the recruitment of RJ
-
Looks like R.J. will pop in June, in time for some summer workouts at school.
-
Well off the Phog - poster showed off @ John Martin 929 twitter account that like a little over an hour ago. 00 Rod Hampton – RJ’S - dad was suppose to have text this John Martin saying in the txt: RJ & Boogie is a STRONG possibility at Memphis , they can definitely play together. - - who in the hell ever this John Martin is.
They bringing out the point that Rod Hampton went out of his way to send this text to the Martin guy. - -Saying Hampton went out of his way to text Marti - not Martin textin Hampton. - - I swear to GOD if he goes to Memphis - - -I’m done on this recruiting crap – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
KU has reached out to Boogie.

Doesn’t matter but might as well?
-
Well he can shoot better then what we currently have. I’ll take any and all shooters we can get
-
@BeddieKU23 I’d take him but there is no chance. Can’t even see getting a visit.
-
@BShark I don’t see it, but sure doesn’t hurt. Only makes sense if Dotson is gone. My guess is he just waits out the withdrawal deadline at this point. May 29th isn’t that far away.

DOTSON IS NOT GONE
-
@JAYHAWKFAN214 I sure hope you are right!
-
Self is certainly recruiting as if there’s a chance Dotson could stay in the draft. He made the Combine. Whether anyone wants to believe it or not, coming back to Kansas is the fall back option here
-
He’s not “back” either.

Wouldn’t that be interesting if we do.
-
Seen a Devon Tweet - -only consisted of 30 seconds - -titles - -at work. - Showed a guy defending him and Devon working on his Jumper. - -showed a guy stationary and Devon kind of using him as a pick against his man - and shooting the J. - - I just don’t know. - -seems like when he wants something - - he gets it - -hard worker - at 1st I said NO WAY - just all depends on how well he shows. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
The questions about Devon’s weaknesses or area’s he can improve will not go away. What’s going to matter is how well he performs and how his strengths are viewed to scouts.
I’m honestly hoping he returns but these situations are not cut and dry. He made the right call declaring as it led to a combine invite at a setting that should be somewhat advantageous to him. He’ll have the ball in his hands if he plays in the combine games. Can show off his speed, defense and finishing ability. Players get drafted for less
-
Sure would be nice if KU got a commitment over the weekend to get the ball rolling.
-
@BShark Man, I couldn’t agree more.
-
Agree. I’m just waiting on the whole “in 10 days everything will clear up”
-

Doke and they were probably thinking an answer on Silvio either way.
That said, commitments are coming I’m sure.
-
@BShark Where’d that comment come from?
-
@BShark All good. But worth discussing.

It’s definitely an angle that schools play. It was actually put out there that Notre Dame did it with a kid that was going to go to Maryland. His name is eluding me at the moment.
I think I’ll revisit this if Enaruna picks Creighton.
-
I’m thinking we need to do away with the Weekends during our recruiting. - -When Friday Night Thru Sunday comes around this place is DEAD lmao. - -I need my recruiting fix 24/7 so I come here and less action/people then the shoot ort at the Ok Coral - I start going through withdrawal - -without my fix - -JUMPIN - -GEE- - HOSSIE - -TOADS. - - welp guess I’ve just gotta maintain till Monday – dam lol
