I assume there is a reason Kentucky dropped him but still big for ILL.
-
Seems like some off the court concerns plus the injuries. He’s dropped in the ranks some probably because of the latter

Duke just got their 3rd 5 star guard to commit to their 2023 class & 4th overall already. Sickening.

Nike trying to get Scheyer one early and keep the flagship steady. Last title will have been 8 years ago with a roster that had 8 pros, 9 top 35 players, and a Plumlee (61) on it… Duke literally has to be handed titles.
-
3 of the Top 5 recruits for 22, and now 3 of the top 25 for 23… We’ll see what a 34 year old who’s never coached a game on his own can do. Personally I only care if Bill eats his lunch in game 1 next year. Send the message quick

Teach that man to set a screen, and we’ll have layups galore.

Amile Jefferson promoted to bagman at Duke. He was already unofficially

Already seeing where Tang is going to make an impact at K/State.- Getting involved or was already involved with some big time players .One of them is Jakobe Walter think he is the 17th ranked player in the nation .He said just as soon as Tang got the job at K/State he face timed Walter and said still was going to recruit him hard - -and Walter saying that him And Tang and the assistant had a really good relation ship.
Then I saw where Layden Blocker a kid that KU was on his final list- - NOW Blocker has added K/State to his list and has a visit planned. These are players that wouldn’t of sniff K/State before, I think he is going to get that program turned around guys. Not saying these guys will commit BUT have seen him on some pretty solid recruits that he is interested in or visa versa or both. Hold onto your butts.

I’m not that worried about Tang. He’s not a great game coach. Drew didn’t really take off until McCasland et al got on board. Tang was the lead man when they were running junk zones and getting dunked on at AFH all the time. He’ll upgrade their recruiting for sure. But it’s still KSU. And it’s hard to recruit to Manhattan.

Exactly. You can’t get guys if you don’t try but until these kids start actually ending up at KSU, it’s just a pipe dream.

Bobi Klintmann landed at Colorado. Think he’s going to be good there.
-
5 star forward Malik Reneau, once Florida Gator commit will now go to Indiana
-
Dillon Hunter has decommitted from Baylor, dropped big time in the rankings over the last year.
4 star 7 foot Center Shawn Phillips has decommitted from NC St. Should be in high demand.
West Virginia lands Juco Center Jimmy Bell. Huggy loves himself a project. Listed 6’10 290.

New home for elite international prospects in Arizona as expected. Their new HC was Gonzaga’s international bag man for those that don’t know or forgot.

Some friends.
-
Whitmore would be perfect
-
Whitmore might be a top 5 player in this class. Very impressed with his skill and athletic ability.
-
NBA ready tbh
-
Looked it in the recent games. Definitely will play there

Shaedon Sharpe who was the #1 recruit in the 22 class, enrolled at Kentucky for the Spring Semester and will now enter the Draft and stay in. Good grief

Wow that’s the single worst fanbase. Sharpe was expected to do this the entire time.

If Diallo could shoot even slightly it would have happened with him too. I don’t know how they didn’t see this coming.
UK had an open scholarship and figured adding another NBA player to the checkbox was worth whatever they would spend on him. That is their recruiting pitch.

I get the natives are getting restless with recent Calamari results but literally 100 headlines I’ve seen since last fall about Sharpe going to Kentucky early and then going Pro. And he did exactly what he said he was going to do… Hard to get mad about a player who never even put on the Jersey but I guess that’s what they do
-
Wow. Shut down that place.

The other implication also works with the thread tbh haha. Sad sacks.
Need to change their description for the forum.
“Like 4chan but for Kentucky Basketball”

@Kcmatt7 I’m digging deeper, but I’m a history buff. They should honestly edit the thread title though…

That is Mattress Mack, the guy who bet millions on KU winning the title. He owns a furniture store here and ran a promotion where if someone bought a $3000 or more mattress and KU won, you got it for free. He invited Self to Houston to meet the people who got free mattresses because of the promotion.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 so is he a big KU guy? How many bought those?
-
Moral of the story: Don’t sleep on Kansas.
-
Hes planning his next promotion for the Kentucky Derby. He will bet 3 million on the race favorite. Did it last yr and didn’t win but it caused a big stir
-
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

No connection to KU. He just runs promotions like that several times a year and places huge bets as way to recoup money if the outcome results in a lot people getting free furniture. He’s been doing this for years now, but Gaines national attention in 2017 when the Astros won their first World Series and he had to go to multiple sports books to bet millions on the Astros because of how much money was going to lose in giving away free furniture.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 coach Self was there to speak to high school and middle school coaches.
-
Soory guys, really didn’t know where to put this so just bear with me. - This is just mind boggling to me anyways , hard to conceive but interesting little tidbit.
In the past TWENY Years - - KU’S record at the Phog is 309 - - -& 17 . - -This is even more WOW. In the past TWENTY years KU’S Big 12 opponent’s is 9 - - -& - -130 - - let me say that again. - -In the past TWENTY yrs KU’S Big 12 opponents are 9 - - -& 130 - -that’s just insane. - this is Via Sports Reference

Adrame Diongue announcing today. Has Kansas and Kentucky in his top 5 but neither would take his commitment and I don’t think Kentucky even offered lol.
Washington State or UNLV realistically.

Yeah makes sense. He had an offer from Tech as well but he could NOT commit there.
