Agree. Need to find out if Chandler should be recruited more seriously. JRE popping now helps that.
-
Precious Achiuwa will not sign in the early period per Evan Daniels. He might be a G-League candidate tbh.

In line with what my buddy at Brewster says. This one has a ton of red flags around it.

Nice, will be glad to have this one over with

Nothing to do about it. If he bought the kool-aid enough to believe he will play some wing at Nova what can you do? Self/KU will bounce back and field a competitive team next year.KU has a really good shot at Stanley because of his dad, imo @jayballer73
My money is on more then just playing on the wing that won this one. We’ll never know though
-
Cassius Stanley on why he picked KU.
“Self sold me on playing Center. I know I’m a wing/guard but he said Udoka Azubuike is going pro after the season I really see myself impacting the team most at Center”.
All fun. No Malice of course

@BeddieKU23 Lol that’s what I’m thinking. We will just have to see what goes on with mama JRE and if she moves to Philly. I’d be willing to bet that Philly has its “benefits.”
-
@BShark Lol such a tease. I hope he just gets it over with in the next week or two though.

I’m sure. Recruiting never has a dull moment

Looking more and more like he will commit before the early signing period.
-
Imagine if Stanley did a video and said “we good coach Self?” and committed to KU.
All fiction.

I understand it is not the end of the world, and KU will be fine in the end. However, missing on JRE is a pretty epic swing and miss. Hard to believe Self and the staff couldn’t close the deal on this one.
me neither, DAM we have got to close these deals - - this one is big - -Like me and Bshark said you can talk till your blue in the face I feel beyond a shadow of doubt the FBI thing played a HUGE role in this – and were not done yet. - I thought it was looking like a sweet recruiting year - now looking like it really suck - -were not getting Hurt either - -take that to the bank. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya quite possibly - - but how confident are we that he will commit to KU? - -his dad has said will probably announce around the 24 of November. - -After this hard to be confident on any of these kids this year at all now.
I guess we can try and pull some kind of positive spin on this JRE fiasco maybe. - -With JRE going elsewhere this might be enough to solidify Zeke committing to us - -I hope that’s the way it goes down anyways. - Actually thought I had heard really that Nnaji was a better athlete then JRE anyways is that right? - has anyone else heard this? – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Nnaji is a better long term prospect but JRE is a better basketball player right now.

so straight up my friend no Bullshit - -shootin straight from the hip. - -What do you think our chances are with Stanley - -no hem hawin around - -just straight out. – or for that matter how does anyone else feel in reality what our chances a re?

oh my bad thought I had heard/read that Nnaji was actually the better athlete

You’d be correct. Part of Nnaji being a better long term prospect is his athleticism.
Bear in mind, Dedric is a terrible athlete (by freak standards) but an amazing basketball player.

Pretty good.

Based on the information available to date, I would think that the worst of the storm is over for KU but just starting for programs like Arizona, Creighton, De Paul and others including Duke who might lose Zion and be in a world of trouble arising from his recruitment. There is no way Zion went anywhere without getting paid a lot of money. I don’t believe we have seen the end of it.
I would think this is the approach KU is likely taking, telling prospects the worst is behind and is clear sailing moving forward.
-
Duke isn’t going to lose Zion.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Zion is in the clear. He’s with Dook and Nike, and laws and rules don’t apply.

What or who have you been hearing/reading that indicates that JRE might even announce today for Villanova?

@BShark I think Chandler commit’s to Penny

Not sure Memphis is recruiting him that much actually.

Which probably says a lot about him… If we aren’t and if Memphis isn’t, that’s a sign.

I think KU could quickly get to the point where Chandler is a good option though.

I’m plenty ok with it. I’d almost rather just take him if he wants to come here. He is a 4 year guy who projects to be at the very least a solid playable piece. At least, imo.

Early.
-
@BShark Well hopefully our luck turns to the good for us
-
@BShark well IF their not then maybe he follows his brothers foot steps

I think there is a good chance if KU gets serious with him. Otherwise Ole Miss/Georgia Tech appear to be the favorites.
-
JRE chose Nova. Hard to miss on him, but life (and KU basketball) will go on.
-
@1JayhawkLifer Funny. Svi played the 4 and JRE wants to be a 3. No way he’d manage a perimeter shot in Bill’s system as a 4. Rotflmao
Next.
-
@dylans if that’s all it is?

Crimsonorblue22 said:

It’s most of it yes. Some people in his circle aren’t all that realistic about his position.
-
@BShark just him and his mom?
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark just him and his mom?
There’s almost always more than two people with a recruit’s circle. Coaches etc…
-
I meant his mom and him were the only ones to think he could play the 3?
-
Really confident KU isn’t getting Matt Hurt either.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 The FBI stuff sure doesn’t help.
The class is shaping up way different than initial impressions.
-
@BShark why do you say that about Hurt?
-
BShark said:

you and me both. - -That’s why I feel it of the upmost that we can land Zeke
-
Woodrow said:
@BShark why do you say that about Hurt?
I think and know I’m not alone - -think this FBI thing is playing a part - -and believe this FBI thing also play SOME part with JRE - -just like when Arizona got named and Louisville - -both took a big hit last year when this FBI thing surfaced. - -Arizona AND Louisville both have really bounced back this year but last year the same year they mentioned kicked them right square in the nads- - now were seeing the same thing.
I think with him holding off until spring – is for sure NOT GOOD for us - -w NEED ZEKE for sure
-
Zeke is our absolute best hope among the names KU is involved with now. Other than that, KU will get involved with guys that aren’t even on the radar right now I would bet.
