SMOKE SZN
I really hate the 24 hours leading up to an announcement. Worst day I ever had covering KU was DeAndre Ayton Day. Once we heard he was announcing that afternoon we wrote up stories about him committing to KU and how he would fit with the roster. I slapped together a piece on him committing to the Wildcats since the other 2 finalists were Zona and UK just as a contingency since everyone we checked with thought KU until about an hour before the announcement when Matt told us Ayton had an unofficial to Zona the weekend before and bad things might have happened.

If I had to pick now, it would be Australia.

Is his inverted twitter picture a subtle reference to Australia?

Nah. Kids these days just like to mess with people. I just think old pops is rowing that boat south.

Guy on the phog said he did that the day his old HS hoops coach was re-assigned from Little Elm.

It seems like it. I hope I’m wrong, but it’d be sad if Dad wanting money right now superseded his son getting to pick where he wanted to play basketball. Especially when his son is probably going to get paid a lot of money in a year anyway.

Had someone tell me today they think he’ll commit to KU tomorrow then bolt when the Aussie team sweetens the offer. So even if he does announce for KU tomorrow I’ll be nervous until he actually starts playing.

Matt is my assumption. Edit: You know who I mean I assume, the other Matt.

So he’s probably just using the KU announcement tomorrow to get Australia to raise their offer then. And also probably why his 3 schools are Nike, Adidas, and UA - to see which will give him the most money. I’m depressed.

It’s a possibility. I’m skeptical that’s what they’ll do but you never know I guess.

@JAYHAWKFAN214 8:30AM EST, which is 7:30AM CST.
Except we’re in daylight savings, so it must be 7:30am CDT.
Time over space is confusing.

I’m not allowed to discuss a university student’s grades with a parent, without the student’s written permission. Doesn’t matter who is paying the bills. I’m pretty happy about that.

Alternatively…
I think what you mentioned earlier…announcing KU tomorrow and then overseas still being an option could be very real.
-
Welp. Just when we thought we had something.

Easy excuse to tell parents to buzz off if need be lol

Zags hedging as well: https://twitter.com/AdamZagoria/status/1133149925238296576
This has waaaaay more traction than I would like to see.
@Woodrow 100% need Dotson back now and next year will be fine.
-
This recruitment has never felt right. His final schools all seemed odd based on his want to play PG.
I bet he announces Memphis and goes overseas.
And then most of you need to probably be okay with the idea Grimes could legitimately be back.
-
@Kcmatt7 I think Self would even be interested at this point but Grimes’ circle? I very much doubt it.

At this point you have to think their agent is pleading with them to return.
-
@tundrahok Sure. The point is it’s at 7:30.
-
Just taking everything into account, how he loves KU and the coaching staff, how they have been on him from day one, how he is announcing on Get Up tomorrow morning and with his homeboy Jalen being on campus Thursday (probably accompanied by RJ) I think, like I said, that we are going to land both RJ and Wilson, but, man!, daddy is starting to make me real nervous, in a LaVar Ball kind of way. Oh well, guess we’d only have to put up with him for one year.

Last info I have is pre-draft process, but they didn’t want any part of college. Let’s hope for a Malik Newman style change of heart sans transfer. I think Grimes could have a huge sophomore year if he gets his head on straight.

@FarmerJayhawk as a pt?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I expect Dotson back.

@FarmerJayhawk but, if grimes wants to come back and play pt…

@BShark lol, accurate portrayal. Saw that!

@FarmerJayhawk I’d have to see McBride first!

I’m twitter dumb. Is prison Mitch making fun of grimes and saying he wants to play point guard too?
-
Imitating grimes skills
-
Dont want either. I dont want to hear another word about Hampton if he goes overseas after this
-
@BeddieKU23 Lavar errr Rod Hampton said he was “praying Devon Dotson stays in (the draft)”. I’m pretty off it.

These egos have no place here

RJ and Rod aren’t seeing eye to eye on this. RJ wants to play with Dotson at Kansas. Rod wants the opposite in about every way.
-
Oh well KU will survive without.

@FarmerJayhawk Rod is a piece of work.

If the roster ends up being
Dot
Garrett
Ochai
Silvio
Doke
Bench
Wilson
Dave
McBride
Enaruna
Braun
Lightfoot
Random body
We are in for some butt clinching shooting nights but that’s a real good team that wins the league and is a high seed.
