RJ Hampton

@HighEliteMajor Kentucky seems to do it just fine.
-
@Marco I don’t know what you mean by Kentucky. They have players withdraw from the draft and return. Had one last season.
-
Nothing new here, but sums things up.

Wilson’s take on Achiuwa is Precious.

Exactly! And good luck getting people to work for you if you fire them if you have the gall to just go interview somewhere else. I used to write letters for my interns all the time. If they got a better gig before their internship was up I’d tell them to take it or I’d fire them myself for being morons
The difference, of course, being that your interns went to those other gigs and you knew that they would, and they were immediately if not sooner replaced. Whereas with the new rules that have been put in place programs can be held hostage by players who are not ready but are trying to interview for positions that they may or may not get. Meanwhile, how many scholarships do we have to fill? And can we? There is the flaw…
-
@HighEliteMajor not many. I think Cal replaces them, basically saying, “sorry, it didn’t work out for you. Your scholarship has been taken.”
-
I sort of expect Jalen and RJ to just stay in Lawrence.

Not always. Depending on the time of year it could be a month or 6 weeks before someone could step in. Self, like I did, encourages these guys to test the waters. How can he encourage them to test and not know if they actually did? That makes no sense. KU isn’t being held hostage by anyone. Self has a really good idea who’s staying and who’s coming back. He wouldn’t even take Grimes back if he knew it would chase away Hampton and/or Wilson. I doubt we fill them all. By my count, we have 3 left to give assuming we get Silvio and Dotson back. Adding Hampton and Wilson would mean we use 12. FR: McBride, Braun, Enaruna, (Hampton, Wilson) SO: Dotson, Agbaji, McCormack JR: DeSousa, Garrett SR: Lightfoot, Udoka

The fact that RJ wants to accompany Jalen on his visit tells me all I need to know about RJ’s intentions.
RJ has already visited KU multiple times. To me, the most plausible explanation for him making this visit with Jalen is because he wants to recruit him to join him at KU. RJ is sold on KU and he wants to try to sell it to Jalen as well.
-
@Wifflehead Or vise versa. Either way it’s a good “sign” pun intended

I believe RJ is fully sold on KU, unlike his dad.

@BShark What does RJ’s Dad have against KU?

Idk but among other things he did a radio interview awhile back where he was drooling all over Calipari and knocking KU/Self and was talking about RJ cutting KU (obvs this didn’t happen). This was shortly after the FBI crap when KU was front and center.
Thankfully for us RJ has a strong personality.

“We don’t need to visit to Kansas or Memphis,” Rod Hampton told Daniels. “But the next couple of days he’s going to decide where Texas Tech stands. If he’s serious about that then we’ll go visit.”

Yeah I saw that and it sure reads like RJ himself doesn’t really care about Tech…

Courtesy to Under Armour.

Bryan Moss, publisher of TigerSportsReport.com picked KU for RJ today on rivals.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Thank you, and that is what I am saying. He is Not going to take Grimes back.

Unless Mr. Hampton gets a check he can’t pass up. Because like you said, we need bodies.

Very nice!!! I can’t help but comment that one play looked better than anything Grimes did all year.

They are.

@BShark Sweeeeeet. - -Man I hope he decides to come with Jalen on his visit - -recruit Jalen for us , - the Christmas Scenario would be - -Him and Jalen just both say - -WERE COMING before they ever leave campus that weekend - -Like Jalen said - if that happens like he said – Lawrence better be ready - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Some new quotes from Rod Hampton today per Adam Zagoria.
“We will know a lot more after next week” " Need to see who stays in NBA"
-
A lot more in here
-
His dad might be a pain in the rear!
-
@Woodrow so does he, dad, want grimes and d dot to come back?

Rod will say whatever he needs to get attention.

it might be he wants to see who don’t come back
-
@FarmerJayhawk does he work?

Well from 1st glance at the article - - looks to me like it’s either - - KU or MEMPHIS - -don’t really think Tech has anything to go on - -and oversea’s in the distance
-
-
Seems Rod is giving an interview every other day lately…
-
Just reading between his brain cells, Memphis doesn’t sound real promising. But he does know wiseman really well!

There is no might about it.

Sounds like KU or Memphis to me but who knows. IMO they are waiting to make sure Grimes is not coming back. Hopefully it is over by next weekend.

This is exactly how I see it as well. Self can make it clear Grimes is gone but until something is official you never know. Not that Self would lie about it but coaches do lie and I don’t play Rod for having RJ wait toooo much.
-
for some reason here lately, just sure seems to me , I get this feel that RJ’S daddy really isn’t that all hyped up on RJ coming to KU - - just some of his comments - -might be insane - -just a feeling I get - -I think RJ will win out, - -Daddy was talking about that over sea’s option though - saying you have to consider it. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Rod “Ball” Hampton is already becoming tiresome.

He is starting to remind me alot of freaking LaVar Ball. By the way, for real guys, this recruiting season has left a bad taste in my mouth. Feel like someone has offered me a penis, and I’m not gay. I’ll be back when this distasteful thing is over.

Lol. I don’t know why, but this tickled me in just the right spot.

It was a decent analogy. Vulgar, for sure. But hey it’s the off season

Boy is he ever , I’m just probably making to much out of things but - - man just seems when ever there is the slightest opening it’s like he would be preferring anywhere but Kansas- - -thing is it is not his decision. Yet he holds a lot of weight.
In the end I still think we win out. - -I think it for sure is between Memphis and KU , when it all is said and done - -with that being said he DID say that Memphis was crowded , and on top of that he said about Tech that Beard was a great Coach - -BUT so was Penny and then he said so is Bill. - just think Tech is not a factor.
Really liked how he talked about Doke & Devon and such - -we will see
-
De Sousa is eligible to play in upcoming season! And deservedly so!

This is massive. Rock Chalk.

@FarmerJayhawk think it’s KU??

-
@FarmerJayhawk he commits then comes with Jalen Thursday for the visit!

Too many coincidences line up here. Silvio getting reinstated, Wilson visiting, and summer school starting the next week. And you don’t go on ESPN to sign a deal with Australia. ESPN would tell you to go fly a kite
