Rayjon Tucker
-
I hope Devonte has been in his ear.
-
He’s drinking some of that badass Kansas kool-aid, as we speak… I don’t see us letting this guy get away. I think, from all that I have gathered, that we are recruiting him at the 2 and Hampton at the 1, which only strengthens my belief that Dotson will not be back.

I’d rather have Dotson back for year 2 but if he is going these would be the two to get. I’m sure KU is running the ultra deluxe full court press on Tucker’s visit.

Tucker, Holyfield, Enaruna, Hampton, McBride and Braun, where would that class rank?
Since the transfers wouldn’t count on the recruiting sites probably somewhere in the bottom Top 10, low teens
I ran the Class Calculator on 247. The additions of Hampton/Enaruna would jump KU’s class from 57th to 13th.
Personally this would be a good haul. 3, One year players that can all play right away. 3 development players that become the foundation for future classes
The way things have been going - - I would take that ranked class - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It would definitely fill every need

Real good shot at Tucker, I feel.
-
@BShark I do to. Just because I really think it would be hard for another school to do a visit better… (As long as cash under the table isn’t a major factor) Lawrence is less than an hour from the Airport, we put you in the nicest hotel in the city, which just so happens to also be LITERALLY on campus, we have the best facilities, a great party scene, great food, and even recruits are looked at like Gods at the bars, HOF coach, etc.
I know I’m biased, I just don’t see why anyone would want to play basketball anywhere else.
-
Watch him just not leave lol. He does seem to really be liking the visit if twitter interaction is at all telling.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’m sure KU is offering him compensation lol.

This will shock you but his last follow is a young coed.

Not too get too creepy and detective, but all of his likes are KU stuff. Like even during the Auburn visit, the ISU visit, a little interraction. He wanted to be at KU for a weekend and get the full experience lol. And my guess is he had a pretty good time last night…
-
The KU staff knows how to put on a visit for sure.
-
Bryce Wood is the hero we need
-
Sure has the feel of a visit we knocked out of the park.

This is as good of one of these as I’ve seen…

@Kcmatt7 It’s his actual job tbf for one of the biggest sports related companies. But yeah he is REALLY good at it. Love that he’s a KU guy.

Bill Self: “Now, I’m going to leave the room. We don’t prohibit recruits from looking around, looking in drawers of the desk, top drawers to be exact. I mean, anything you find is arguably yours, we’re kind of ‘finders-keepers’ around here.”

Ya probably so. - -I imagine him and the boys got around the dorm and played some – -GO FISH and sipped some tea , maybe watch some Bug’s Bunny and the Road Runner - - really hard core stuff lmao. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I’m Thinking - - are we his last visit? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@Kcmatt7 I think he’s going to commit.
-
@BShark Imagine that, the Asses From Young Lasses Campaign.

I saw that saying - – - I’m back at the Hawk - - AGAIN lol. -Must of liked the place lol.

Rayjon has been live tweeting ALOT. - I usually don’t follow this twitter crap that often. - -BUT with this guy and what’s seeming like becoming even MORE important by the day - -been following his conversation.
Not sure if he is just doing this because he is HERE right now and to see what kind of response he is going to get from KU faithful OR - -if he is really having that good of a time.
This guy looks like he is going to become even more of a critical piece of our 19 recruiting. - -like a MUST need. - Thing is he plays what ? - is he a point guard OR a 2? - -could his decision have even MORE of a decision on RJ ? - -Have we turned up things even more which might be an indication that the staff knows we are losing out on RJ ? - AGAIN - -can some one tell me - -are we Tuckers last stop? - -Thanks - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 I hope we are his last stop. As far as I know, don’t think that he has anyone else scheduled. I agree with you, Tucker is a must-get! Hampton is a 1 while Tucker is a 2 (he has a good outside game) who can also play the 3.
-
Kansas

-
@BShark That would be a nice piece to get the recruiting rolling.
-
Breaking out of my finals-induced hiatus just to say KU hit a grand slam here. If it’s not KU it won’t be anything KU did.
-
@FarmerJayhawk What major?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Ph.D., Public Policy. Taught stats this semester so am up to my eyeballs in research papers and their finals too. Good times.
-
@FarmerJayhawk impressive farmer!
-
@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

WHAAAAAA? - -now why you thinking we are not getting Hampton?

Heard from a KU source today they think they got Tucker
