@FarmerJayhawk Would be a dream to land him. Wouldn’t even care if Hurt went to Duke. Though right now Hurt is the better offensive player.
Either one. The perimeter is going to be salty.
Agree. With or without Grimes. I hope it’s with though.

Should be. At this point the staff isn’t recruiting any guards other than Stanley. Who honestly would be a nice bench piece.

Simien? Precious makes Simien look small? That’s a big high schooler!

@JAYHAWKFAN214 he looked good and looked like he was having fun.
-
His shot didn’t look so rushed yesterday. He made better passes (and got lucky a few found friendly hands). He had a couple of nice hustle plays. And he played 36 minutes in an ass whooping. He was a good player yesterday.
-
Best defense I saw out of him all year. The effort was there and it wasn’t inconsistent. He saw a few shots go in which probably helped him out big time.
-
@BeddieKU23 Just everything about him yesterday was more aggressive. He seemed to use his 6’5 200lb frame a little bit yesterday too, which was nice to see.
-
Definitely. Making shots just seemed to make a difference for him last night. Loved his effort overall and I wish we could bottle it up.
He still has a long ways to go to showing that consistently but we got a glimpse last night of the player we expected out of HS
-
Bossi says Hurt could announce on his birthday April 20th. This from his dad. If this was already reported my apologies
-
Was just reading a post of another site about Precious from another person on the phog. - he stated that Precious has a Mentor , name of OZ Cross. - that OZ Cross worked under Coach Roberts when he was at St Johns - - - said that KU kept in contact with I guess precious for a long time - - - and saying with this Cross working under Roberts while at St Johns that thinks it could help us now.
So my question is - - does this send up a red flag? – dealing with another Mentor or what the hell ever you wanna call these guys.? - -It just seems I’m starting to think- -anytime there is a mentor or whatever - there come baggage - -issues - -problems if that’s the case - -w sure the hell DONT NEED anymore. - I dunno IF this is the case I myself would be really leary after all the junk that has been coming on.
So I have another question. So basically we are now down for any hope for any recruit for 2019 - -we either have Hurt - - -Precious - - OR Stanley right? - -That’s it?
Seems like we are losing Hurt to Duke more likely then not now Precious? – just don’t know - -think our chances are pretty slim with him anyways - -Stanley who knows? - haven’t heard ANYTHING with him for some time. - - Last I knew thought had heard we were sitting in a fairly good spot with him - -just so quiet- anyone heard anything more - seems like this year is COMPLETE BUST. - Anybody got any other fairly remote chance of us landing? - -GOD I hope so. - -ROCK CHALKALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Absolutely a concern. I’ll just leave it at that

KU is said to be recruiting Harlond Beverly and Tristan Enaruna as well.

https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/tristan-enaruna-233305
If and when Miller gets fired at Zona there will be a free for all on their #1 ranked recruiting class as well.

Not sure how hard KU is going after Beverly (and I don’t think he would move the needle on next year’s squad) but Enaruna is really good. He’d be a really nice get if Hurt ends up at Duke.
Agree on Arizona and I think Nnaji could end up at KU.
RE Precious: pretty sure it’s basically known info that he is going to the highest bidder.
-
KU wants at least two more bigs assuming Dedric and Silvio leave.
-
@BShark That’s what I was afraid of -so we need to run from that situation with Precious

As he should, imo. One of the very few game changing type recruits KU could get this class.

Bad enough to be put on probation - - if he has an handler and people talking about he going to highest bidder - - NO WAY
-
Eh, this is just how it works at this level of talent. Either play the game or have a team full of Mitch Lightfoot’s (Lightfeet?)
-
@FarmerJayhawk nope. - -you can still have really really good teams without having to pay people to come play - Why pay these guys and oh sure you win and then sooner then later it all get stripped away - -NOPE - -no thanks. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@FarmerJayhawk I sure in the hell hope Bill has not lowered himself to that level -If he has then he needs to go. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Duke is now recruiting Trendon Watford. Pretty sure they haven’t been on him until now. I know there is some Hurt and Duke smoke but wonder if this is a back up plan.
( I know Duke can take multiple 5* kids at the same position)

Duke isn’t even listed on his schools of interest so certainly this is new .

Yeah, as things stand Duke honestly wouldn’t be that good next year. I expect they will get that taken care of though.

I still fully expect RJ to end up there next season.
Add in Hurt, and all of a sudden that starting 5 is 5 Top 50 freshman.

Gross but true. They are the runaway #1 if they had Hampton and Hurt.

Gut feeling is RJ stays in 20. He wouldn’t play on ball at Duke next season and RJ REALLY wants to be a PG.

HE CAN DO BOTH
-
Also of note. RJ is like 6 months younger than Grimes. And Cassius Stanley is almost a year older than Grimes.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Who handles the ball for them next season then? I think Jones is gone. Boogie doesn’t seem like anymore a PG than RJ.

I think Jones comes back but I’m not that sure.

A Lightfleet.
-
Duke getting involved with Cassius Stanley. I think KU has been out of this one for awhile. I think they’re banking on Grimes coming back.
-
@FarmerJayhawk - Grimes returning is a better deal, IMHO.

Good.
-
Agree. Stanley doesn’t move the needle with the guys we have already signed. He’s an electric athlete but his all around games wouldn’t upgrade the team next season. If Grimes does return that’s huge if he continues on this improved play he’s shown the last two games

One word says it all!
-
Interesting that Duke is not trying to move in on guys they have not recruited at all so late in the game.

nod, nod
He’d be a bench guy and I don’t think he is going anywhere to come off the bench.
Agbaji being a total baller changed the need to recruit a wing imo. Dotson, Grimes, Garrett and Agbaji are all minute eaters assuming all are back next year.

I assume you meant now instead of the first not.
That said they are Duke and they need more guys for next year so it makes a ton of sense. Just make a power play and bid enough.

Yes, I meant now. Talking about Watford and Stanley.

Well Buddy - -Got to say - -I’m beginning to lean more in that direction myself on Grimes - -I now am also thinking he just very well could come back next year. - Total opposite of what I was thinking. - -I think possibly he just maybe has hit the top of his Freshman difficulties and now progressing down the other side - -He is showing signs – having said that , I just think he might very well come back learn more things have himself a solid year , work on his skills and THEN declare after next Season. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

And I’m beginning to think they all will be. - A lot of People ar starting to worry about Dotson. – I just don’t think my boy is going anywhere THIS YEAR - -Now next year - -I wouldn’t be promising anything.
Even though Devon has had a really good year - -solid - there is things he could still improve on - -could always work on his outside J still some yet - -I dunno but just overall little things. - -Would be a very solid class for us next year if all these guys returned which I’m thinking more and more they will. - -If somehow - Doke WOULD come back - -we would be really Salty - with McCormack’ - -development and gaining experience and a Senior Mitch and our Newcomer’s
Ok now have a quick question - - been wondering for some time - - showing stupidity - -please tell me what does IMO stand for - -lol - - sorry. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Dotson isn’t even in the Top 10 of his position (for the draft). People are worried for no reason.
-
@jayballer73 in my opinion
-
Very brief KU target Damion Baugh popped for Memphis.

Yeah I don’t think KU got serious with him. I also don’t think he was ever playable with Garrett because they are so similar.
-
If the staff expects Dotson, Grimes, Garrett, Agbaji, McBride and Braun to be on the roster next year I can’t see adding another guard worth much.
