New 2019 Recruiting

@Texas-Hawk-10 But who else is outrecruiting him? I might be out of the loop. I’m not sure that Howard knew that the players, all highly regarded, would be busts.
He’s only landed 3 top 50 recruits, not especially impressive considering how long he’s been here at this point.
Norm and KT both have a better track record in recruiting than Howard does. Howard is KU’s weak link in recruiting.

If we count transfers, the number is 5 or 6. Dedric and Malik were pretty good here.

Looks like Georgia just dropped their 5th bag of cash off this cycle to 4 Star PG Wheeler. Former Texas A&M commit is deciding between them and Iowa St. Iowa St insider dropped a CB for Georgia so that sounds like a wrap.
-
Unreal what’s going on at Georgia right now. Tom recruiting 10x better than he ever did at Indiana and nobody appears to be batting an eye and it’s hystercal

That’s when you know it’s really over.
@Kcmatt7 NOTHING TO SEE HERE

Didn’t Braun grow an inch or two? I thought he was listed at 6-5 or so, and now is more like 6-7. I may be remembering wrong, though. That would be reason to bump him up.

24/7 was way behind the other services on them fwiw. These rankings feels about right. Both are still sub 100 it’s just that 24/7 had them 200 or lower in Braun’s case.
I’m seeing conflicting heights on Braun. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Well finally some good news. - - THAT’S A huge JUMP FOR McBride - - rock chalk all day long baby
-
@FarmerJayhawk Miles and Manning (after Manning gets fired) - I want both. I don’t want Danny as a head coach but do want him for his recruiting and ability to work with big men, ditto for Miles with guards. Personally, I think our program has suffered since Danny left for Tulsa.

Danny was really good working with the Big’s for sure. - -Thing is and I would love if he came back - - BUT I just don’t see that happening whether he gets fired or not. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 I agree with you. But damn that would be nice, wouldn’t it?
-
Well while I’m at it, Mitch is also TJ Holyfields most recent twitter follow and one of the most recent instagram follows.
Gotta love Mitch.

100% would not hate Mitch staying on as a grad assistant or something.

Dude is absolutely fantastic as a teammate. Truly unselfish. He probably wouldn’t mind staying on as a grad assistant honestly… Life in Lawrence, KS cannot be bad for Mitch.

FWIW, Adam Zagoria (ZAGSBLOG about all levels of hoops) was suspended on Twitter. Rumor is, he offended some U of AZ fans.

Not a fan of Zag but this is absurd.

In other news. Precious to Memphis is done.

Honestly, meh and I’ve mostly had that approach since I thought KU was in on him.

Glad we didn’t get him tbh. Walking sanction

Walking lack of basketball skill and buckets.
-
@FarmerJayhawk - that leaves Memphis with 2 open scholarships?

looks like it - -but if we can land Holyfield and or both him and Enrauna - - -it be all right.

I’d bet money Enaruna ends up in Omaha.
-
Gorilla72 said:

I think 3. They’re turning over the roster at some kind of pace.
-
@BShark Me too. He said he wants to play right away. Depending on how the recruiting shakes out he is much more likely to see that happen at Creighton.

I’ll be disappointed if that’s the case. He would be a great 3-4 year player that could develop under Self at KU. I hope they somehow still land him.

With Braun already in the fold, Grill was never really in play for KU. Good to see that he will get a shot at the P5 level, though.

I think he will wash out and end up in the Valley but you can’t fault a kid for trying.
-
@BShark was fun following him, was a standout qb and track athlete.
-
@justanotherfan No , but it is a kick in the nards for KSU, though. It seems that they were after him pretty hard.

Correct. KSU had this happen to them twice this cycle where the player went in league. The other being Braun.
-
@Hawk8086 @BShark K-State’s miss on Grill may have been due to Assistant Coach Frazier leaving to go to Virginia Tech. Braun committed some time ago, so it probably wasn’t a factor for him (unless he had some real good inside information).

Bill + the storied tradition of KU simply dunked HARD on Squeaky and their barn as I understand it. KSU or OU would have been the pick if KU didn’t swoop in.
-
@BShark I don’t know how Squeaky gets any one to K-State. Don’t those kids realize they’re going to have to listen to him
-
@bcjayhawk to be fair, only dogs can hear that pitch.
-
@FarmerJayhawk LOL!
-
Johnny Juzang will announce on Friday. He is going to Kentucky. It also appears now that Kentucky is going to land Jaden McDaniels a top 10 player in the 2019 class. Seemed like Washington was his leader forever, but Evan Daniels just put in his pick for UK. Pretty monster class for UK. 4 of the top 25 players.
-
@Woodrow mercy. That’s a great haul and they could have a lot of guys coming back. Easily preseason #1.
-
If your Dontaie Allen you open up and find somewhere else.
-
Unreal what Cal is able to pull off in Lexington. Blows my mind honestly.

I don’t know how he ever thought he’d see the floor for extended minutes at UK.
-
Kentucky kid jumped to play for the holy grail of Kentucky. But now being recruited over twice yeah he should be finding somewhere else. He can play at a lot of schools as a freshman.
-
Do we play them this year?
-
@FarmerJayhawk I don’t think so. We play Duke in the Champions Classic I believe.
-
FarmerJayhawk said:

I’m just going to assume the Big12/SEC challenge is rigged so that we always play Kentucky once and I’m fine with that.
-
@BShark A and M one year
