De Sousa can play this coming season! Bigtime news!
Awesome news - - think this puts and end to Jalen though - -but that’s ok - -SILVIO is BACK
He is projected to be a wing.

FarmerJayhawk said:
Jalen has nothing to do with Silvio. He wants to be a 2/3, so if anything this helps the cause!
that’s good news - - -so then it’s going to boil down to us and Michigan - -him re-committing - -I really don’t consider NC in the picture
-
SPRING BILL
Bring the hammer down. Slam it down to the ground.
-
If signing RJ and Wilson — or anyone —means that Agbaji won’t start, no thanks. We need to cultivate this potential star.
-
I think Ochai is closer to Releford than a star guy. Which is fine, you need Relefords.
-
Adding RJ and Wilson to the class brings it back into the top 10 nationally. Would be pretty crazy after all that went down this last year.

BUT SELF CANT RECRUIT ANYMORE AND WE HAVE TO FIRE ALL THE ASSISTANTS LIKE YESTERDAY

@jayballer73 I’m not sure about that. Isn’t Wilson a 3?

That’s what I thought. And you were right about De Sousa, Farmer. I was wrong, and glad that I was.

You can say that again.

@BShark which players are being pursued by which assistants?

Snacks is the lead on Hampton and Wilson.

he seems to be the lead on everyone we ever have a chance of getting. Norm did his best with Achiuwa…

Question that I’ve been wondering about … why is it that we assume that Wilson’s going to come in here and start, or be an immediate contributor? And that Enaruna might redshirt? Enaruna is actually ranked a touch higher than Wilson with Rivals, and Enaruna is just about 10 spots below Wilson at 24/7. Both are listed as wings. The only difference I can discern is Wilson’s shooting ability (though there are positive comments about Enaruna too). But from a quickness standpoint, guarding the 3, I’m not sure about that with either of them.
-
@HighEliteMajor Wilson is much more ready to contribute immediately. Enaruna has a lot higher ceiling though, hence his higher ranking.

true - however Evan Daniels also said that he though Wilson was actually under rated and should be like 10-15 spots higher then they have him

find it kind of funny/humorous Was scouring other fan bases/boards - - looked at K-State - - -looked at Michigan - - - Looked at N Carolina - - - -Looked at Duke - -and then I checked out Kentucky. - - Out of these , - Kentucky was the one that you can smell the fear, - -worries of what this does for KU’S season.
their whining was music to my ears, goes to show their inferiority complex showing it’s ugly head , the rest of the fan boards was for the most part talking like they felt Silvio decision was the right decision - -Hell Duke fans making comments such as -The Champions Classic just became tougher - - -KU gonna be loaded - - KU Being a legit final 4 contender - -NOT KENTUCKY lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
I’m going off of what my eyes tell me and not ranking.

I’ll take it a step further @jayballer73 and I never said this about our last team (wasn’t as high on it as most). If all of the pieces fall into place - as well as an outside shot to give balance - and everyone stays healthy, I think we could win it all. Which I guess is what you are saying, right?

But we have to add two more very important pieces… “Come on sevens…!” Roll!

@Marco - I said the before last season. If we had SDS to start last season, I thought we had a decent chance to go undefeated. That assumed everyone healthy, contributing, etc. I think what we saw of our team early, with Vick being a huge factor, that was possible. Of course, undefeated is a high bar, but maybe a two or three loss season was entirely reasonable.
@FarmerJayhawk @jayballer73 @BShark That is all helpful. I do like Wilson’s ability to shoot the ball as being in the mix for time at the three.

I like Braun, McBride and Agbaji being able to contribute from three, as well.
-
I am not sure how Braun and McBride find minutes. Maybe one but not both. And neither if Dotson, RJ and Wilson are all on the team.

Maybe in spot situations.
-
If we can get three guards who shoot comfortably in the 40s from 3 can 2 bigs work?
-
@approxinfinity I’d say yes, but who are these three guards you speak of?
-
@FarmerJayhawk Can Jalen defend at the 3? I’m afraid he’s a 4 hiding out at the 3.
-
@KUSTEVE he’ll be able to defend some 3’s, but not the quickest guys like if someone played 3 small guards. With our personnel next season I bet he’s more of a 4.
-
ajvan said:

hypothetically. I’m wondering if Self managed to recruit some stellar 3 pt shooters if the 2 big game could still be a winning strategy. Esp if those two bigs shoot 66% from the field.

Commitment from Michael Jankovich ( son of Tim?). Dunno if he’s a preferred walk on or scholarship. Supposedly really good 3-ball shooter.

Tim’s kid and a walk-on. Honestly that’s 3 pretty good walk-ons with Jank, Elliott, and Luinstra.

Agree. Not that it matters too much but it does look like he is better than Manning or Self lol.

Jimmy Whitt to Arkansas. Time to fire up the Kyree Walker rumors again.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Would take Walker tbh

So since it seems like people conceding Hampton to over sea’s now huh? - This recuiting year has just plain Sucked -can’t count Silvio as a recruit already here -So Kyree would be great if he would re-classify - but not sure that would matter the way this year has gone - -IF Hampton does indeed go oversea’s - -just insane -then you figure Hampton goes over sea"s and Wilson re-commits back to Michigan
-
@jayballer73 UNC is more likely than Michigan BUT I still think KU has a real shot regardless of Hampton.

Grimes just posted on Snapchat a picture of ASU stadium. Not sure what he meant by that

Big Jalen Wilson update from a guy that talked to his coach here on page 10: https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Board/103719/Contents/Jalen-Wilson-132015495/?Page=10#M132271168

Kyree Walker and Jalen Wilson are the big prizes now. I think Arkansas is no longer an option for Walker assuming he reclassifies. I think he will assuming his academics are in order. They’re 3 over the scholarship limit as it stands and just took two wings as grad transfers. I’ll see what else I can dig up there. Everyone feels like KU leads for Wilson, and I have no reason to disagree. He and RJ were always independent of each other.
-
Has Walker ever mentioned himself that he is thinking about reclassifying? I just haven’t seen anything about it… Really haven’t seen much on him at all.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I have seen that (Walker RJ either/or not both) bandied about in a couple articles before, one on Rivals I think. If Arkansas isn’t in the picture, it would have to be KU I’d think. Saw nothing but Arkansas or KU and he is Adidas all the way I believe.
@Woodrow Not sure, he will be 19 before the next season even starts though.
-
Woodrow said:

He always plays coy about it but I really think he will. He turns 19 in November so he’s eligible for the 2020 draft if he graduates this year.

So who else is recruiting Walker? Hard to imagine other programs not going after him with both bags available.
-

Just Arkansas. If Nike were to win Memphis. But if he is reclassing KU would be the driving force since those two schools are full.

I’ve heard Memphis, though that was pre-Tucker and Precious, Oregon (seems less likely since his good friend Wooten is gone), and LSU. Also he’s on the Adidas circuit this summer. So look out below!

Not buying it, no player that good would stray from pitches from other schools.
