Once the NBAs OAD rule is gone I hope that the NCAA requires “student” athletes to stay in school 2 years. But I’d like to see the scholarships guaranteed for 4 years (barring something egregious ie prison). I know you really can’t 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. I’d like them to think about it at least. I’m looking at you Grimes…$40k isn’t 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 don’t 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 isn’t true. I understand that the “elite” 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 would’ve said " You don’t want to go to “XYZ” because they might be placed on probation and you might not make the NCAA tournament". Now they say " hey, go to XYZ… hopefully they’ll get placed on probation, and you won’t have to bother with the NCAA tournament. That way you can keep yourself fresh." Would Quentin have been broken up if we hadn’t made the tournament last year … or would he have used that time to select his agent? ( I’m picking on Quentin here- there are several other OADS I could’ve used).
A great example is Malik Newman’s near historic tournament run two years ago. He averaged 32 points per game in a 5 game run, and didn’t get a whiff of interest from the NBA during the draft.

Hampton’s twitter bio now reads: “your question will be answered soon… maybe, idk I’m kind of sleepy right now.”
He also just tweeted that he wishes LE (Little Elm) all the best.

RJ is just finishing up all the academic stuff to officially graduate. He’ll pick Kansas or the biggest foreign check shortly after.

Could a kid possibly be so cruel to leave us hanging and go to parts unknown? Don’t 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 that’s me. He can’t hit shots, just layups. Maybe that’s enough to keep him. Bilas thinks he needs to stay. It’s a pretty crappy draft though, who knows, he ran the team well today! Poised. I’m sick of this! Grimes is a good kid, I don’t fault him. I just don’t 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. He’s a fringy top 100 guy on most draft boards.
-
Tech has had a few players transfer recently. RJ to Tech?

He didn’t get an invite to either the NBA or G League combine.

Memphis absolutely cannot take both these dudes. Just saying. https://twitter.com/rjhampton14/status/1129590446408261633?s=21

Evan knows. Follow the thread to get full context. https://twitter.com/evandaniels/status/1129599582583713792?s=21
-
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*lls…
-
So, who’d like to spank Memphis in the sweet 16 next year?
-
@FarmerJayhawk So…Does Hampton’s decision at least partially depend on whether Dotson is back? Or is he waiting on academic stuff?
-
Kevin Durant to Memphis. He’s been faking an injury this whole time. He just wanted a chance to play for Penny.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich LMAO…PHOF!

I don’t think so. It’s more about money overseas.
-
@Hawk8086 Now that Grimes it talking about coming back all of a sudden after a pretty crappy combine, I’m more worried he would affect Hampton’s decision.
-
@ajvan surely, Self is All over that!
-
I really would like to open this site soon and read: - - Hampton & Wilson commit to KU as a package - - Devon Dotson returns to KU – & Quentin Grimes says he is staying in the NBA draft - - that would be the perfect Christmas present in May lol – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Brand new post if so! Getting depressing hitting on this one
-
Self has it covered.
-
And Tech just took another 2019 kid. Pretty sure they’re out of scholarships now.
-
@jayballer73 - Add a freed SDS to the packages under the tree!

That’s big time. It would be higher if Ryan was still allowed to make picks too. It’s KU or overseas.
-
RJ needs to pop soon for my sanity.

No joke man. Has gone from about popping for KU his sophomore year to a dook lock to well maybe Kentucky to Penny to maybe KU has a shot then oh my it’s KU to hanging out at the zoo with Steve Irwin’s kids maybe.

Dam this just kind of fits into right along with what I was just posting on 2019 recruiting. - -There was a poster saying it was just kind of strange that RJ comes up with a date and saying people would know soon about their questions - - saying hmmm RJ comes up with a date possibly the same day Jalen is visiting KU ?- Now your hearing that RJ could possibly visit KU the same weekend Jalen is visiting? - -maybe possibly they both commit to Ku on the say weekend/same day? - -hmmmmm - interesting - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
