2022 Recruiting Thread
-
I get your thinking here with Yesufu. I think its still early to write him off though. My expectations for him coming in were high so I’ve been disappointed in his role so far. But I also haven’t found anything to be discouraged at either because he’s not getting opportunity.
-
@BShark If Rice comes and Braun stays you really only have 30 minutes from the bench. Bobby & Grady are going to eat up a good chunk of those minutes.
-
@BeddieKU23 I’m not worried about him being good or not. I’m just saying that unless he jumps someone (mainly Bobby) he isn’t going to ever get the opportunity to prove himself here. So I don’t know why he would stay.
-
These things have a way of working out. I see him squarely in the mix for 20+ minutes a game next year. Whether its a starting role or not I don’t see him going anywhere especially since he’d have to sit a year if he left. Obv. kids get waivers but its hard to imagine him getting one currently. Also with the way this roster is shaping up for next season Self is going to want a veteran guard with experience in his system. This roster is going to be so young next season

I think Bill would still want to start two small guards. Rice is closer to a 4 than a 2 is what I heard.
-
Duke lands Mark Mitchell to go along with the 2 centers and sf that they already have coming in.

Bingo. I’m pretty sure we’re gonna roll out 2 guards, 2 wings, and a big.

We got the best wing at Sunrise don’t @ me Duke fans.
-
So is K still recruiting or is this all Scheyer?

So much for my thinking that their recruiting would take a hit once K left huh?

It’s Duke recruiting.

Stil think they may take a hit buddy, just not this year. K still there right now and even though he said he was backing off , I promise you he has that rat face right in there selling the program for next years class. Wanna see in 2-3 years see how things go then AFTER he is no longer sitting his ass on that bench
-
“rat face” Why don’t you post your picture here so we can comment on your face!

New offer
Well, if he does end up signing, hopefully he will have learned how to spell Kansas correctly by then…
-
Can’t take that offer seriously. Not an impact player

No KU offer…YET.

Bobi Klintman back on the market, after the coaching change at Maryland.

I’d be interested if MJ Rice bolts. I think that’s about where the staff was at too.
-
Why all the MJ rice commitment won’t stick talk. Have there been a ton of rumors?
-
The people involved with him have had a lot of guys that skipped college. I haven’t heard new information on him in quite awhile though, so I’m sticking to what I was told months ago.
-
Gotcha, sounds good. I do feel like with the new climate, with NiL. Losing a kid to the g league is avoidable. It would be very frustrating if we can’t keep 1 fringe top 20 kid but duke and UK will have 3-5 5star kids stay committed. Many of the duke guys are top ten players and would get larger deals in the g league and overseas then mj rice would…. Thanks for the update
-
KU needs to improve their NIL game. Will be something to monitor.
-
NIL game for KU just isn’t where it needs to be or where it should be currently.
Rice is a we’ll believe it when he shows on campus type. Figure the spring will heat up talk regarding him

So I have not read a thing about other schools and what kinda NIL deals players can get. Anybody know what KU guys may be missing out on?

Rice is gonna be at Kansas nowere eles
-
All I know is that remy got a car and Jared Casey got Applebee’s gift cards.
-
Sounds like he’s having a really good year!
Dick, a four-star Kansas signee, is a skilled, sizey and versatile wing. He’s made a jump in his development over the last eight months and could make a jump in the rankings because of it.
He’s playing with confidence, unphased whether shots are falling or not and has found other ways to impact the game regardless. His defense, rebounding, basketball IQ, athleticism and his experience playing at the highest levels of high school basketball is paying off for one of the top teams in the country.
-
@BeddieKU23 Should be a 5* but it doesn’t matter. Love this class.
-
He’s definitely a 5 star talent & I think his upside to the next levels is there to support the rank. He’s my favorite in this class which is saying something because the other 3 are studs too. I just think this kid has it all.
-
KU could have 2 potential OAD’s in the 2022 class. Looking at various 2023 mock drafts, I’ve seen both Gradey Dick and MJ Rice’s names as potential first round picks.
That’s also crazy to think about to me because it’s almost a certainty that at least one of those two comes off the bench next year.
-
ESPN updated their rankings which will factor into the composite on 247. Also looks good when ESPN does their slobber fest of freshman in the beginning of seasons.
Gradey in the Top 10. Zuby is too low.
Gradey Dick #8 5-star MJ Rice #19 5-star Ernest Udeh #23 5-star Zuby Ejiofor #76 4-star
-
Zuby should be about 35 or 40, somewhere there abouts right?

70s is comedy for him. Think he contributes next year. Gonna be a war for post minutes.

No doubt. And we haven’t even been talking about Clemence who can also play.
-
It’s Espn so yeah. I really like what he and Udeh are bringing to the front court.
-
247 updated their rankings. Duke with 4 of the Top 10.
Gradey at 22, Rice #28, Udeh #29, Zuby #41.
Composite now has Gradey #24 (5 star), Rice #25 (5-star), Udeh #29, Zuby #47
Some recent guys that KU was looking at hit the Top 100- Desmond Claude (PG) #88, Judah Mintz (CG) #73, Amaree Abram (PG) #64
-
@BeddieKU23 no longer recruiting Mintz fwiw
-
Claude to Xavier, not that it appeared KU was super serious.
-
Not sure where to put this post.
Looking at J Will’s Snapchat, it looks like he got a Wendy’s NIL deal. Does anyone know details?
-
@rockchalkwyo Correct. No idea on the details.

Nope. Guessing it’s with a local franchise, not corporate. Selfishly I hope he sticks around. He could be a very good 4 year player for us if he wants.

Just so everyone knows Gradey Dick and MJ Rice taking their officials to KU This weekend for the UK game.
Also a pair of 23 teammates of Gradey are coming in as well for visits
