Nah. Kids these days just like to mess with people. I just think old pops is rowing that boat south.
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 I hope I’m wrong, but it’d be sad if Dad wanting money right now superseded his son getting to pick where he wanted to play basketball.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…

WE HAVE ESTABLISHED THAT DOTSON WILL BE THE PG PLEASE AND THANK YOU

@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.

I just…I can’t… wake me up in 11 hours.

IF we land Hampton, he’d better unpack his bags and be a helluva OAD to atone for this never-ending, stupid drama.
-
@ajvan can’t ever make up for his dad, plus he’s moving here. Maybe send him to Australia!
-
@BShark man up!
-
@BShark he sure as heck better give the dang shorts back!

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.
So the way I would see this , just like when I was that age many many many moons ago.
RJ even at the age of 18 is basically for all practical purposes is looked at as an Adult. - -at the age of 18 I was out of mommy and daddy’s house - -I was independent - -I was starting the adventure of my own life.
Now RJ’s future is pretty well written - he will be and NBA players making boo-koo money So here is what I just don’t get. - Yes I was taught to respect my Parents - - -Yes I valued their opinions. - -BUT at the end of the day - - this is or should be RJ’S -decision - it’s HIS career - -his future that we are talking about here. - - there fore RJ should be the one to say – I’m going to KU to play - - OR I’m going over sea’s - - NOT DADDY.- I if I were RJ I would be trying to in the nicest respectable way be trying to tell DAD look I value & Respect your opinion BUT this is MY future - -this is MY job
The Hamptons won’t have to worry - RJ comes to KU he has a full ride the year he is here , and is there anyone that doesn’t think he won’t help take care of his family when he is done with his one year in College - -you can bet your life - -they need financial help RJ makin that green - -he will help - -the Hampton family gonna be well taken care of by their son.
With this being about RJ’S Furure - - it should be RJ’S and only RJ’S final decision and DADDY should take two steps back and just support RJ’S decision - -he is now an adult - let RJ lead his life how RJ wants to lead HIS life. - -
Like I’ve always told my kids - -it’s your decision, – right , wrong , whatever - -it’s your decision. - and you’ll learn - one way or the other you will learn - if they ask me what I think - I’ll give my opinion - end the end - -it’s their decision - he can’t always have DADDY their to make decisions for him. - - -Those kind of kids - -for the most part , they learn the hard way - - It’s a cold hearted world out there if you don’t stand up - -it will chew you up and spit you out - DAAD needs to step back - let RJ do what RJ wants to do - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
