New 2019 Recruiting
-
Arizona is a Nike school so it has been spared so far. There is no way in God’s green earth that Nike is not paying orders of magnitude more than Adidas or Under Armour.
I keep thinking that maybe the FBI is just practicing with Adidas and preparing to go after the real big fish, Nike.
-
Arizona lost three commits last year @Hawk8086 it’s why they have been struggling a bit this year. But yeah, they are currently full steam ahead recruiting.
-
@BShark So if you do bad stuff…but the uncertainty is over you can get recruits. Makes perfect sense in the “amateur” system that is in place.

Basically yes.

Kahlil Whitney still hasn’t signed with UK. Will sign in the spring.
@FarmerJayhawk You hearing anything on this?
Don’t think there’s much to it. Probably just keeping his options open in case Cal bolts to the NBA or something weird happens.

Hurt visiting Kentucky this weekend and is setting up OV to Duke, UNC, and KU.
-
Jaemyn Brakefield might reclass. KU firmly in play from the sound of it. This would um, salvage KU’s class quite nicely.
-
Interesting. Thanks for posting that. Definitely would help with what is going on

So kind of wondering , if this is how his visits are going to be played out - -wonder if this means we are getting the last visit? If it is , I think I could like that. – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I would imagine Memphis/Indiana push for that 5th visit as well.

TRUE. - -I think the 5th might be Memphis over Indiana. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I agree. Hurt’s relationship with their assistant will likely get them an official.

KU makes recent reclassified 2020 stud Anthony Edwards “top 8”. Edwards is the #4 ranked prospect via 247 for the 19 class
Duke, FSU (perceived leader), UK, UNC, Georgia, UCLA, Michigan St round out the rest. A who’s who. Probably just a courtesy mention but we’ll see if KU can get an official, he is in the process of setting them up
-
@BShark Soft. Might as well play him at the 3, and let KJ handle the 4.

@BShark - -might

@JayHawkFanToo Upvoted your post because you are a good person, and you think that justice will finally come around to all. I love the way you think, but I don’t think anything will happen to Nike, ever. If anything, I think Nike schools will do way more in the future while the Adidas schools will get hammered over the slightest infraction. Zion Williams is literally playing on the court with $100 bills sticking out of his socks, and never a word is spoken. This is two kinds of justice : death penalty type punishment for non-Nike schools, total indifference to the most egregious acts done by Nike schools.

Edwards is not considering KU.

Article says different. - -final 8 so we must be there some where. - Your just a bundle of sunshine MR negativity - -lol
-
Not quite. According to him KU is one of the schools recruiting him the hardest…and, Lil Yachty who was the headliner at Late Night last year is his favorite rapper, so KU has that going for it.

I’ll be here for both of you when he commits to FSU.

ya - - ok lol. – -OR it could be OL Cal is in desperate times for bigs lol
-
Kentucky has always been more of a player for Hurt than many thought. If you believe articles from UK writers anyway. I’m not too surprised though.
-
Would take Tristan Enaruna.

Braun looked really good tonight against Blue Springs.

Good to hear. Were you there?

February 2 for Hurt’s visit, his last official.
-
@FarmerJayhawk did he schedule all his visits?
I like the fact we got the last one.

Tentatively yes. Same here. You generally want the first or last one.
-
Braun looking really good:
-
@KUSTEVE He looks really smooth in the video.
-
Braun has good height which will help him. If he can put on some good muscle it will be interesting to see where he is at development wise by year 3. I expect unless the cupboard is bare that he’s a red-shirt candidate. This is the type of kid you’ll get your value in those later years
-
Future Ron Baker type of player?

Excellent comp idea. I haven’t seen enough of Braun to say that’s accurate but if his floor is Ron Baker down the road I’m sure we can all live with that. I like his shooting ability and it looks like he can put the ball on the floor so in KU’s offense, in time, he’s an ideal wing and I can see why they got him signed. I’m intrigued to see how he fits here
-
Update on Matthew Hurt. He took his visit to Kentucky.
Where do you go from here? I’m going to take an official visit to UNC, not this weekend but the weekend after for UNC vs Gonzaga which is the 15th of December. Then I’m going to take an official visit to Duke in January for the Duke vs Virginia game, whichever weekend that is and then I’m going to visit Kansas in February I think.
Feb 2nd vs Texas Tech or Feb 16 vs West Virginia fit his February visit talk.
What do you say about the perception that Kansas is out in front for you? Most people are saying that because I played for Self at USA in June but I mean I don’t have a leader right now, everyone has the same chance so I would put them overtop of anybody, people can think whatever they want but everyone has the same chance right now.
Sounds just like JRE, doesn’t want to be tied to KU…
-
USA ball didn’t help any other coach before so it’s naive of us to think it would help Self. KU whiffed in this class. And they really, really need to land a post player. They have a starting spot to give out next season, but nobody wants it. I’m hoping something shakes out this Spring.
-
Bamba landed at Texas because of his relationship formed with Shaka. It does happen.
Look at Duke’s recruiting edge with K coaching NBA superstars from time to time.
The FBI impact has killed any advantage Self could have gained from coaching USA ball this past summer. I highly doubt JRE goes to Nova without the trial. Hurt will go elsewhere as well because of this.
