New 2019 Recruiting
-
Lol
-
@jayballer73 It appears he is trying to drive his price up. Who knows…maybe it pays better to sit on the bench at Tucky than it does to start at KU.
-
Kentucky already has three 5* pgs. Not happening.
-
@BShark I think you make a real good point. Logically speaking, why would a 5 star point guard go to a university if there were already two 5 star point guards signed? If you had 50+ offers to truly run the entire show ( a little bit like Trae Young ) at practically any place you wanted to go, why would 3 5-star pgs sign to play on the same team? My answer is everyone of these kids are getting paid big bucks to play small amounts. Why would Rayjon Tucker choose Memphis, where he is sharing the limelight with a boatload of top 10 recruits…over a starring role with KU? The whole sport is corrupt…rotten to the core.

I still have serious doubts about him to Kentucky - - but you still can’t ignore things - the way our year has played out - - -at this point anything is possible in this recruiting year. - - Hell just look at how confident people were thinking about Tucker - -and then BAM the huge kick to the nads - - for Memphis - - Memphis - hadn’t been hearing squat about them in his recruitment. - It was all aboutm KU and Auburn - - MEMPHIS for Christ sakes
-
I would be genuinely stunned if he goes to UK. Memphis, KU and overseas pro league are all more likely.

exactly - -and some how – some way Ol crap for brains manages to persuade these kids to come whether they loaded or not – it’s Kentucky

@BShark The “Penny Bank” is open…

Need to re-open First KU National…
Might not see a return to normal until next cycle. This was quite damaging. Business as usual and we at least have JRE and likely Hurt as well.

BTW, Happy Mother’s Day to all you muthas… I’m going to suck up all day today. Heck, I’m even considering allowing her to touch the remote control on the big tv today …

Yeah, I’m fixing to go spend the day with my little mom… Aww…
-
@KUSTEVE wow, big of you!
-
That we will sign more guys this year there is no doubt, which at this point is too obviously occurring after the other blue bloods and Memphis (Penny had better hope that he stays shiney) have gorged themselves and are full. To be honest (silver linings playbook) that might be a good thing, allow us to once again add depth.

Precious announcing this weekend for Memphis.

Memphis was super serious about this class. Will be interested to see how it pans out.
-
Boogie Ellis committed to Memphis tonight
-
@FarmerJayhawk What about Blackshear?
-
Evan put in a pick for Jalen Wilson to KU
Blackshear won’t look at colleges until he determines whether he’s going to stay in the draft or not.
-
Or a guy we recruited a year or two back…Shakur???
-
@FarmerJayhawk getting Jalen would be huge
-

That would be amazing. Something odd is happening there. Either health or academics.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Ok… what about Jaevin Cumberland? 17.2 ppg…scored 13 against Sparty. Scored 14 against Georgia. Shot 39.9 from 3/ 47.8 from 2 …had 2 to 1 asst to t.o. ratio, and shot 85% from the free throw line. Made 109 3 pointers last year…
-
Time to realize we aren’t finding a starter at guard unless RJ ends up coming. Just going to need Garrett and Ochai to step up.

This is where I’m at. We can add depth but R.J. is the only impact guy left out there.
-
I like Cumberland because he had 15 games where he hit at least 4 3 pointers, and 14 games where he had at least 4 assists. He averaged 1.1 steals a game to boot. He averaged 17 ppg on 12.3 spg, so it’s not like he was shooting 25 shots a game. If there’s a minute left in the game, I want our opponents fouling this guy instead of Marcus.
-
Cumberland would be a great addition. He is transferring? Is he eligible
-
@BeddieKU23 He is eligible. He is ranked one spot higher than Isaiah Moss:
- Jaevin Cumberland, 6-3, 185 pounds, SG, RS Jr., Oakland The cousin of Cincinnati guard Jarron Cumberland is a big-time backcourt scorer. Averaged 17.2 points and 3.5 assists and shot 39.9 percent from 3.
-
Have there been rumors about Cumberland to KU?
-
@Kcmatt7 Yes. I’m starting it…
LOL…
-
@KUSTEVE It seemed like he was favoring Michigan. Perhaps that changes now.
-
@Hawk8086 Speaking of that…

Corey Evans still thinks we land both Hampton and Precious.
-
I’d rather get Wilson than precious
-
But apparently we can’t be too choosy rn

just saw the pick by Evan Famer - - - on the 247 - now those CB’s show that Jalen is at 94% to Michigan for Jalen - -BUT that was all in account BEFORE Berlin resigned to go to Cleveland though right - -so I think that all totally changes - -like new ball game right?
-

Room for both! It’ll be a massive feeding frenzy if he asks for his release.

Has he even decommitted yet?

Negative, ghostrider.

A Memphis insider just put in a CB pick for Achiuwa to KU. Not sure what is going on here but it smells of manufactured/fake drama.

No sir. This is legit.
-
Not saying it’s done. Because it’s not done to anywhere.
-
it may turn out getting interesting - Memphis insider - some one that is like some kind of so called analyst or a guy who follows recruits and talks with them or what?

Brooks over at the Memphis site is among the best connected out there. He’s since switched back to Memphis.
-
But all I’ve gathered says it’s KU or Memphis and nobody has a great feel for how it will end up.
-
Bossi thinks R.J. is likely to KU, doesn’t have a feel for KU or Memphis for Precious. All the info is in that direction. Too early to say on Jalen Wilson.

I want to beeeelieve.

So what does people think? -I dunno as for me - - my first take on Wilson after reading this article - - I just kind of think he probably rides this out and more likely then not sticks with Michigan - that would be my 1st take - -yet things can change , we will see.
Now as far as Precious - -this is wild up – down - -up - - down - -possibly - - no way - - possibly - - no way - it would be sweet though. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It all depends on what direction Michigan goes with the coaching staff.
