This quote from Wichita State SR Samaje Haynes Jones sums up JUCO ball…
““well we only had 1 or 2 set plays at Hutch and outside of that everybody just kind of did what they did””

Self was in to see Zeke today.
-
@BShark he’s not to bright, it was probably just his.

Coaches from Oregon, UCLA and KU expected to stop and meet with Cassius and his dad, then there will be a decision.

So my friend do we know or have any idea when this is going to happen with these Coach’s ? - Are they all suppose to see him on the same date? - So after they meet , then he will make a decision shortly after that? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Oregon coaches visit is today I believe. Still no official time frame, but it should be during or before the early signing period.

Zeke is going to unofficially visit UNC on November 16&17 and will announce on Nov 23.
-
Ouch
-
Texas Tech just picked up a commit from Jahmius Ramsey. Ranked # 33 by 247.

Big pick up for them. Tech has been the favorite for him for a while
-
At this point I would be shocked if Zeke didn’t pick Roy
-
And… 1 CB pick in already for UNC.
-
Super obvious that it’s UNC now. Rubber stamp visit.

Yup you don’t take an unofficial visit to a school that didn’t make your Top 5, one week before your deciding, after taking 5 official visits. Nike money wins again
-
@BeddieKU23 You know , Mabe he will - - Maybe he won’t - -end up at UNC - -BUT I’m not buying what you guys are selling as far as the negative spell in this un official to UNC as people are trying to make it out to be - -I’m not buying into that as much as some are maybe he will -BUT - -He made an unofficial - -here and the turned right around the following Weekend and made his official the following weekend or visa versa - - -ya ya UNC wasn’t in his final 5 – - I think some are just over reacting as far a that goes on these visits.
Again I can’t day it’s a done deal for us - -I CAN’T say it’s not a done deal for UNC - - won’t surprise me either way at this point- - - -still same time table we will see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

5* Top 15 Will Baker comitted to Texas.
-
@Woodrow The check cleared.

It won’t be Kansas, but I am not sure he even had a commit able offer.
-
@BShark Mercy. – It is a good thing that we at least will have a couple coming back. - -It will be vital that Big Dave really puts in some hard work over the summer too. - -Looks like it very well be McCormack and Lightfoot that doesn’t look to intimidating at the present-- I think we miss on Hurt too.
Yet you never know Coach might find that overlooked player that slips through the crack.- - I think you have said it-- and I have said multiple times. --I for sure think this FBI thing has for sur hurt our recruiting especially with the Big’s The Big’s we felt really good about during the off season.
You know OL Roy been talking shit on us- - Wright probably the Same–other Schools really taking advantage of this --Even if there is nothing or not. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Lightfoot won’t start. I’d bet money on that.
-
At this point in time I’m not sure why they wouldn’t recruit and take Chandler. I know most think he’s not very good, but he’s rated higher than the two kids we have.

Chandler is a major project. As for the rankings I think McBride is a guy whose skills moreso translates immediately to the D1 level. Not the best athlete but a very good shooter. He looks to me like he will be a very good, 4 year college guard. I’m still pretty w/e on Braun, need to see him play. I think with the position the staff is in, they could regret not really recruiting Chandler but we will have to see how it all shakes out.
Oh and some confirmation : http://www2.kusports.com/weblogs/ku-recruiting-scoop/2018/nov/8/kansas-to-see-cassius-stanley-on-friday/
Per Matt Scott, Kurtis Townsend will visit Cassius tomorrow.
He’s picking Oregon though. Swoosh.
-
Fans would be disappointed in Chandler for a while, he would benefit from a red-shirt and a lot of hard work with the staff. He’s not a plug and play recruit despite being in the Top 100 imo.
-
With just KT going you know its the courtesy thanks for recruiting us visit
-
That’s fine we’ll see how it plays out. I’m not really playing the negative sell here, its what I think is the reality of the situation.
I don’t think KU is even the runner up in his recruitment.

KU didn’t really recruit him, from what I’ve heard.

Are you referring to Zeke?

ESPN shows Chandler Lawson as having an offer from KU.
-
KU has extended over 40 offers in the class.
Everything out there points to him ending up somewhere else.
Chandler’s younger brother Jonathan could be a recruit KU is involved with down the road

Ha. Chandler. Zeke is definitely a target.

KU can and should go harrrrd for Jonathan. Hopefully basically passing on Chandler doesn’t hurt.

Looks like the clown show might hit town before long. I see zero chance LaMelo plays at KU and a slim chance he even plays college. A coach would have to be crazy or desperate to take on that family’s freak show.
-
Do not want.

Duke gets another 5* in G Boogie Ellis
-
@Woodrow Not that we were never involves with this kid - but sure sucks to see all these players & talent and then see how we are missing on out targets - -looking like we will end up with a big fat zero on our targets this year - - just sucks – -JRE - - -Nenji - - - Hurt - -Stanley - - - SOMEONE please remind me again please how this NCAA/FBI - -trial isn’t hurting us again - - someone Please - -go Ahead- - I’ll wait. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Blue blood recruiting, maybe sans UNC, is going to be subpar this year. UK looks like they’re going to whiff on some of their main targets, Dook may be done after getting Ellis, and we’re really only chasing Stanley, Hurt, and Nnaji, and guaranteed to get none of them. Weird year.

Agree.
KU will need to add bodies if they miss on any of these guys (perhaps all three). So it could be that we really don’t even know the names of 3-4 guys that will be on the team next year. Unless of course we have some surprise returns, which I wouldn’t complain one bit about. Going to be verrrrry interesting.

I’ve never considered KU the favorite for Stanley, and we agree that it would be a big surprise if he were to pick KU, so we’ll look in the spring for another guard. I still think we get at least one of Nnaji and Hurt. Still a chance we have one of Silvio, Dedric, or Doke. One of each group and we’re cooking with gas. Add KJ, Mitch, McCormack and that’s a really good frontline. Dotson, Garrett, Moore, and Ochai are good enough at guard. Whatever we can get from McBride and Braun is a bonus.
-
Yeah I’m not terribly worried about next year’s team. Should be solid.
-
Ok , so I’ve been doing some Thunking - - I do that every now and then. So again I was thunking about how we have been doing or losing out some this season Soooo , he is what I was Thunking lol
So let’s say IF and this a HUGE If - -BUT if there was some way - -Anyway that Silvio gets cleared and then we could maybe get him to come back for a year next season ( which I really don’t see that but ) – get him to come back - -get KJ to come back having him work really hard during the off Season - -and then Maybe recruit here a little more and maybe pick up Chandler Lawson -I know nothing special but get us that 4 year player - get these 3 guys and then if that played out - wouldn’t be so bad ya think? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 - I think we’d be very fortunate. Odds aren’t good, but…

Brian Snow dropped a blurb on Zeke Nnaji today.
Down the home stretch for Nnaji While the recruitment of four-star power forward Zeke Nnaji is coming to an end soon, there remains a lot of mystery surrounding where he will end up playing his college basketball.
Nnaji will make an unofficial visit to North Carolina this weekend, and from there he has a commitment date set for November 23. Because of the timing of this announcement, this means that Nnaji will not be signing during the early signing period. He will wait until the spring to put pen to paper.
This late visit to North Carolina means that the Tar Heels are definitely a major factor. Though North Carolina hasn’t been involved with Nnaji for too long, they were able to get him to make the trip, and also he is doing it on his own dime since he is out of official visits for the year.
Along with the Tar Heels, the main contenders appear to be Arizona and Kansas, though Purdue and UCLA are on the periphery, and do get a little bit of buzz. At least currently Baylor isn’t getting much talk as a serious threat to land his commitment.
Kansas was always kind of the dream school for Nnaji, but the other programs involved have definitely made this a battle. Nnaji still is fond of the Jayhawks, but this is far from a layup for Bill Self and his staff.
Upon returning from North Carolina this weekend, look for Nnaji and his father to really get down to business figuring out what the college decision will be.
A direct and fast path to professional basketball has long been the number one determining factor for Nnaji, and it will be interesting to see which school he feels offers the best opportunity in that regard.

Rivals jumps in on Zeke.
- How should the schools that make up Zeke Nnaji’s final five - Arizona, Baylor, Kansas, Purdue and UCLA - be feeling now that North Carolina was able to get in for an in home visit and secure an unofficial visit after he took all of his official visits?
Bossi: There’s no doubt in my mind that the original five finalists are concerned. In fact I bet many are feeling something much stronger than concern. But, this is big-time recruiting and these are the types of things that you have to deal with because a program like North Carolina is one of the few with the brand to jump in late like this. If I’m at any of those other programs, I’m making sure to hammer away at relationships that have been established over time.
Evans: A bit of worry and rightfully so. Nnaji was on the precipice of a decision, focused on a group of five and out of nowhere, North Carolina enters the picture at the last minute and not only offers him, but also gets a visit. Better yet, it is an unofficial visit which just shows how serious he has to be about the program that he is willing to go across the nation on his own dime and see what he Tar Heels can offer just days before committing. Now, Nnaji is not a prospect that is going to be wooed by the name of a school, as evidenced by Kentucky not even making his final list.
Do I think that this is a done deal for North Carolina? No, but of course that could change in the days ahead which could force his other finalists to reconfigure their recruiting board and find alternative options this winter.
McDonald: Nnaji visiting North Carolina has to be concerning for the other schools involved. Most coaches get nervous to begin with when a kid visits and doesn’t commit shortly after. Add to that a school like North Carolina coming in and getting an unofficial visit, which obviously means out of his family’s pocket, I can’t imagine the other schools aren’t starting to look at other options at his spot.

I’ll have to dig on this guy but maybe one to watch in the spring?
Tre Mitchell 6’9 PF/C #93 rivals, #83 247
RIVALS’ REACTION With Mitchell announcing he’s going to be signing late, it obviously allows time for schools to come in and sway him from the schools that have put in the time to this point in his recruitment. Right now, it’d be hard to argue against Notre Dame and UConn being called the leaders of the pack. This will be an interesting to track throughout his senior year because it wouldn’t be a big surprise if some new high profile schools come into the picture.

Bossi reporting KU/Oregon for Stanley
Checking in at No. 31 overall, the super athletic shooting guard at Chatsworth (Calif.) Sierra Canyon has completed official visits to Kansas, Oregon and UCLA and is in decision-making mode. Thought for a while had been that UCLA could end up the most likely landing spot. However, over the last week or so more talk about Oregon or Kansas being his destination has popped up. Somehow pulling Stanley off of the West Coast would be a pretty big score for the Jayhawks.
Sunday night, Stanley’s father told me a decision date hasn’t yet been set and that the family has to sit down and make a final decision. Though nothing is set, I would be mildly surprised if Stanley doesn’t announce a decision in the relatively near future.

I don’t think he would have much of an impact. Too bulky, looks like a true center.

I’ll have to look him up and see what he looks like. Was just scanning this and with him signing late maybe someone the staff evaluates if options dry up
Truth hurts. Lol
