Rayjon Tucker
-
@FarmerJayhawk Very nice.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 @KirkIsMyHinrich thank you kindly. Back to regularly scheduled programming. Rayjon is exactly what the staff wants on the perimeter. To my knowledge they think could play a lot of 2 if we miss on Hampton. Dude is just an absolute freak show kind of athlete.

Ok doesn’t mean anything necessarily, but the most recent twitter follows for Rajon: Ochai, Mitch and a Volleyball player.
It’s certainly not a bad sign.
-
His newest followers on instagram: Mitch, Elliot, Silvio, Teahan, Ochai, same Volleyball player, and 4 coeds.

Elliott is an MVP walk-on lol.
Pretty sure this kid will be a Jayhawk but the silence leading up to the commitment is always tough.

Yeah, he loved Kansas. Hopefully it’s enough to get past Auburn.

Ice? Let’s have an iceberg break off! A big one!
Thanks for keeping an eye on it, Jayballer!

ISU CyFan insider staff guy floated out there that KU is behind ISU/Memphis/Auburn due to “wanting to be the man”. Hope he’s wrong.

Not sure that Tucker would not be the man at KU.
Look at the current roster. Who’s the Man?
It can’t be Doke because he can’t shoot FTs or get his own shot. He will get touches, but he can’t have the offense run through him.
We will go ahead and eliminate Lightfoot, Garrett, and the freshmen (Braun, McBride, Enaruna).
That leaves us with Silvio (if he’s eligible), McCormack, Agbaji, and Dotson.
We don’t know about Silvio’s eligibility, so I will mark him out. McCormack will play behind Doke, so he’s out.
Agbaji figures to be improved, but I doubt he suddenly becomes a 15-20 PPG guy. I like his upside, but he’s probably not there next year. He’s out.
Dotson is more of a playmaker than a big time scorer. He will certainly have his games where he scores big, just like he did this season, but I don’t see him being the main guy scoring wise.
The only reason to think differently is if you already know Hampton is coming to KU. Even then, there’s no guarantee that Tucker isn’t still the man on that roster.
I don’t think we are at a disadvantage if that’s the case. It may come down to system, but role wise he has the same opportunity at KU that he would elsewhere.
-
@justanotherfan I hope it’s just the ISU guy blowing smoke and I see your points on it.
I’m still of the belief that KU isn’t getting Hampton. I think no matter where Tucker goes, he’s going to be featured offensively.
-
Well he wouldn’t be the “man” at Memphis either.

It’s and ISU idiot - -what do you expect. - He could be right BUT still anything connected to ISU is Idiot. - lol - - -and I still don’t think he is right. - -I think if it’s not KU – - it’s Auburn - -the take I got was he was just flat ass sold on Auburn - we needed to hit a grand slam - -which I think MAYBE w might have. - -we shall see soon. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

KU is firmly in the lead for Hampton. He’ll announce a decision at the end of the month and hopefully be on campus in June.

BOOM. Hope your source is right!!

It does seem like KU is in the lead but do any of you think that he’s waiting until the 29th to pass to see if Dotson will return and if so commit elsewhere?
-
I don’t know if KU gets Hampton or not. I’m just looking at the potential roster makeup.
With or without Hampton, I think Tucker would be the #1 offensive option at KU. With Hampton, obviously, things get much better. But even with him, Tucker is getting the shots and would be the go to guy down the stretch.
Without Tucker or Hampton, I don’t know what this backcourt looks like next season.

There are caveats and you know it. :p

Yessir. I should emphasize they just have a good feeling, nothing is done yet. Though it will be over pretty soon. Thinking this weekend.

I understand bud - -but hearing this from you and also heard from some others - -makes me just kind of wet myself down my leg a little lol - -on a Serious note - things starting to roll - things looking better possibly - -and yet some STILL question Bill. – I’m sure Bill would love to have things all wrapped up in the early - - BUT sometimes things just take longer - so far he has always came through. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY.

This one sucks. Staff thought they had him.

Blows major chunks. Not sure where they go to now.

Must have paid a pretty penny to get him. Hope we can get RJ.
-
And this ensures next years squad will be known as the worst three point shooting team to ever win a National Championship

Must have. Because Rayjon gave his verbal to Townsend.

Intriguing.

@BShark I guess if he stays in the draft we’ll have dodged a bullet
-
@FarmerJayhawk that tweet doesn’t make any sense , as it says College if the NBA doesn’t work out -he wasn’t on any mock draft boards - -didn’t get a NBA combine invite
Yet he says College if NBA doesn’t work out - -unless pulls his name out before the 29th of May - -so how would he d College if the NBA doesn’t work out? - -can’t come back - - unless he is talking about being a D league player and then after not making it then come back to college to finish a Degree or something right?
-
@jayballer73 I guess he’s angling for some kind of guarantee?

I reckon - - - just sucks - - -and then even losing a so, so Holyfield - -is better then a better then nothing Holyfield. - -We better hope that Silvio gets his appeal approved so he can help on the frontline for sure
If that doesn’t work then chances are your going to have to See MORE of Enurana then we wanted to his freshman yr along with Doke and McCormack - The whole Tucker thing just really kicks us in the nads - -I give up on these kids man - I can’t even BEGIN to get in their heads anymore - - I’m to old for this crap - -one day we good - -the next - -were stinking up the place - -this year of recruiting has aged me another 10 yrs lol
-
Well dam I read that wrong - - -I thought he was going to try and make a go with the NBA - - now find out he committed to Memphis? – WHAT THE HELL
-
Did this come out of the blue?
-
No need to stew over this one. Would have been a nearly perfect hole filler as a shooter. But got a little flavor of him when he was here … came across as overly self-enamored. RJ is a better long term add. But we’re not at the top of too many lists it appears.
-
Lolz /thread
-
Many posters on Memphis Twitter accounts think Tucker failed to graduate and can’t transfer. They think he will therefore stay in the draft, opening up another spot for Memphis.

Honestly we don’t know, and probably never will. My feeling is he could’ve but it wouldn’t taken a lot of work over the summer. Memphis is probably done in 2019. Lord knows they’ve got plenty of dudes.
