We need some 2019 news⊠Enaruna was a very solid pickup. And our 2021 squad looks loaded af. But Iâd still really like to be a Top 5 team this season with Doke back.

Yeah Enaruna was a great pickup. The potential on him is crazy. Normally weâd have to time to enjoy getting a player like him
But when you have the Tucker, RJ, Dotson, De Sousa, Achiuwa, Wilson, Walker, Moss Sagaâs all going on at the same time it makes it difficult to enjoy

Do we actually think Gary has insight here?

@Kcmatt7 Hell no, just having some fun. All Memphis people seem to think itâs KU though for whatever that is worth.

Good gosh, any good news on that very long list of players would be fan-freaking-tastic.

Think I posted over in the 2019 recruiting but read where Dylan Prezkop -gave his CB for RJ to KU - -tonight - - KU now at 75 %

@jayballer73 Same post over and over? Come on man! Haha just messing with ya.
Yeah come on RJ just sign already!

If he is gonna sign, it has to be by tomorrow. That said we have seen before that players sign and wait to announce.
-
It doesnât benefit any player of high ranking to sign a LOI ⊠donât understand why they sign. You can get the scholarship without it and if you change your mind before starting classes you can go somewhere else.
-
Players sign because itâs part of the system and generally viewed as the thing to do. I would agree that the smart thing to do for top players would be to not sign. Iâd say only the top players because only they can get away with it but as we found out recently the NLI doesnât really protect the player either. Coach K asked Ellis to pound sand so he did.
-
@BShark Right, it is there to protect the school. To secure the commitment (creating penalty if the player backs out). This is where players have power, and this power is overlooked. RJ has power. Guys who wait have increased leverage because the supply is vastly decreased. Commit to KU. Donât sign. See how things shake out. If KU gets probation, back out. If another player decides to come that compromises what RJ wants, back out and go somewhere else. The players have power â but the victim narrative is what we hear instead. Just silly.

tomorrow the end of Signing period? - - so Precious wonât be signing either huh? - - not announcing till this weekend

In addition, players shouldnât have to sit when they transfer (ever IMO) but definitely if they leave before the season.

@FarmerJayhawk Youâre talking about changing rules. I strongly believe that the better way to approach this is to look for ways the athlete can operate effectively within the rules that he agrees to when he becomes a student-athlete.
When you permit transfers as you suggest, itâs free agency each year and such a system would create chaos. Without that very minor penalty, youâd have the grad transfer thing but with every level of player.
The requirement to sit is a core necessity to maintain stability. If one cares about CBB, they would oppose such a reckless rule change.

Or all one cares about is the students who are playing the game above the product of college athletics. I could care less if a few less people watch college sports because they are mad a few more guys a season transferred. I do care that the players, who are the ones putting blood sweat and tears into this for 40+ hours a week, are given every freedom a normal person is given. They are the only ones limited by the system. Not other students. Not coaches. Not administrators. Not professors. Not referees. Not another single person involved.
And, to say that it would create complete chaos is simply untrue. Already, 40% of players transfer by the end of their sophomore year. If anything, this rule change would improve the game because we wouldnât have such a significant amount of talent sitting out each season.
If you canât get players to stay as a coach, maybe your program just sucks. Maybe your an asshole of a coach. Maybe youâre a liar. Maybe youâre just not a good coach and players think they can develop better somewhere else. Either way, if a coach needs âleverageâ in order to keep players, than he probably sucks at his job. Hell, itâs part of the reason someone like Mike Rice was able to get away with abusing players at Rutgers.
Itâs a dumb rule, and assuming it would create anymore chaos than exists isnât supported by anything in the real world. The average person with freedom to change jobs, literally whenever the feel like it, still stays at the same place for 4.6 years. Any logical person wouldnât transfer after their junior season because they would only be 30 credits from a degree and transferring would mean theyâd have to go to school for another year without having it paid for by scholarship. So that eliminates a quarter of potential transfers.
I would LOVE to hear why you think it is so reckless to CBB though.

I agree with you, one-hundred percent. As if there isnât enough grifting already, letâs allow the players to come and go as they please. Naw, passâŠ

Once the NBAs OAD rule is gone I hope that the NCAA requires âstudentâ athletes to stay in school 2 years. But Iâd like to see the scholarships guaranteed for 4 years (barring something egregious ie prison). I know you really canât make this happen, but maybe have the kid sign a contract with the U that has a buyout of whatever a year of that scholarship and housing is really worth. Iâd like them to think about it at least. Iâm looking at you GrimesâŠ$40k isnât anything to sneeze at in the G-league.
-
This might make a decent thread, hint hint. I saw an unread message from this RJ thread and thought, great new news, but I was wrong.
All of you guys do make great points by the way.

I donât understand why people keep saying the OAD is going to go away. Players are still going to only go to college for one year and enter the draft. ( Not trying to call you out @dylans ) I just keep hearing people say this it isnât true. I understand that the âeliteâ players will soon ( hopefully) have the option to go straight to the NBA however, when that rule is put in place there are still going to be OAD players.
-
@HighEliteMajor Probation could actually be a selling feature for a typical OAD. 10 years ago, they wouldâve said " You donât want to go to âXYZâ because they might be placed on probation and you might not make the NCAA tournament". Now they say " hey, go to XYZ⊠hopefully theyâll get placed on probation, and you wonât have to bother with the NCAA tournament. That way you can keep yourself fresh." Would Quentin have been broken up if we hadnât made the tournament last year ⊠or would he have used that time to select his agent? ( Iâm picking on Quentin here- there are several other OADS I couldâve used).
A great example is Malik Newmanâs near historic tournament run two years ago. He averaged 32 points per game in a 5 game run, and didnât get a whiff of interest from the NBA during the draft.

Could a kid possibly be so cruel to leave us hanging and go to parts unknown? Donât answer that! This recruiting sucks! Do you all think coach knows what will play out? I love d dot and want him back, selfishly, but thatâs me. He canât hit shots, just layups. Maybe thatâs enough to keep him. Bilas thinks he needs to stay. Itâs a pretty crappy draft though, who knows, he ran the team well today! Poised. Iâm sick of this! Grimes is a good kid, I donât fault him. I just donât understand him. Royals suck!

Ku Can not have nice things If TuckerStays in the draft then Memphis will Try to Still RJ hampton from ku

98% sure Rayjon is going to college. Heâs a fringy top 100 guy on most draft boards.

Memphis fans on Twitter (and others) saying if Tucker stays in the draft, a slot opens for RJ Hampton. THAT would be a kick in the b*llsâŠ
