@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
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.

247’s final 22 rankings (not composite)
Gradey #20, #19 composite
Udeh #29, #29

Elijah Fisher. 5 star SF in the 23 class commits to Texas Tech and will reclassify and play this season. Tape is scary

wouldn’t you think thats kind of a wasted year - - I mean we are approaching the halfway point. - -By the time he gets adjusted to the offensive & Defensive schemes - -at least chances are what 3-4 games - - comfortably anyways. - -just seems like a wasted year
-

Man things are crazy. Between the way the portal is changing things - & players just up and leaving-- mercy. - - Isn’t he a freshman ?
-
Think he was ending up in his original class. He has played in almost every game this year and is a role player for them right now. He’s going to be good in time I think. Might end up somewhere else down the road too
