New 2019 Recruiting
-
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 .

I misread this. That’s seemingly good news… although they need all the bodies they can get it looks like

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.
-
BeddieKU23 said:

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.
-
Which makes the recent Stanley chatter make sense. Stanley was an option when everyone thought Grimes was actually good
-
I went and saw Adam Miller play in a fantastic game last night. Top 2 ranked teams in Illinois 3A. He scored 6 in the first half and 22 in the 2nd in a sweet 16 loss. He got many of those from the FT line. He forced a lot of threes, turned it over too much, so despite 28 points I wasn’t entirely impressed except it was against a team loaded with DI prospects themselves. Illinois folks are really clamoring to get him of course which I understand

we got a couple of recruits on Campus today don’t we? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Hawk8086 RJ Hamilton and also Cottrell (a couple recruits) I do believe.

A lot of buzz out there that Shaka is leaving UT. Will Baker and/or Kai Jones come on down!

Jones wanted KU but that one will be interesting theres arrangements that have been made in his situation to stay where hes going
-
There is only ONE small itsy bitsy teeny weeny problem facing us with all these kids we talking about plucking away when these programs crash and burn. - - That being is we ourselves might be in the same boat as these other programs. - -These kids are not going to want to transfer from one school where it’s happening and jumping right to ANOTHER school facing the same possibilities - the possibility of probation and being barred from the Tourney for a bit - -it all sounds good but I’m sure not getting all hyped about these other kids possibly coming from these other schools until we get cleared from any penalities. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Just passing this along. The Hampton’s reported to Matt Scott that their official visit to KU was “First Class”.
From start to finish of the visit everything was first class," said Mr. Hampton. “Getting to see the day-to-day workings was impressive. At the end of the day you gotta respect tradition. We could see ourselves as a Jayhawk family. We will see!!!”
Nice tease there at the end. Unless Nike & Duke can’t work out a deal can’t see him ending here but at least we got an official visit. We’ll see how it plays out
-
Lot’s of CB’s rolling in for Terrance Shannon to end up at Texas Tech. Terrance, you might want to wait until you know your coach is staying bud. Shannon has had one of the more fruitful recruitment’s. LOL

He just committed.

And if Beard leaves won’t be his last commitment. He’s made a few along the way

So it’s looking like now it’s becoming a fore gone conclusion that we have yet lost another recruit huh> - Looking more and More is now going to Duke -everything pointing that way for sure - - love how these guys can come in at the last minute and just snatch these guys - This FBI thing just eating us up -Jerry Meyer predicted Hurt to Duke this morning - -SOB - -ROCK CHALK ALL AY LONG BABY
