IF the NCAA crap is decided before next recruiting cycle we could have a shot here. Wasatch connection and KT has a close relationship with his family.

@jayballer73 Good research (I’m lazy).

do not get your hope up as ku actually get back in the game for him
-
Not talking about him, but KU in general being able to actually land kids again. NCAA crap needs to be finalized. Will KU land a PG ever again???!
-
What if Harris is the goods?
-
@BeddieKU23 I think he is a solid player, but we need another guard. At a minimum we need a replacement for Garrett.

There might be a little something to it. KU is pushing for a reclass and UK has a lot less appeal in 21, given Askew and Hickman will definitely be there, and they’re likely in Sallis’s top 2.
-
Seems like KU is in a pretty good spot with Cuffe Jr.

We should expect him elsewhere then right? All the recent “in a good spot” kids have done so

Ryan on the Phog indicated the staff is still really high on Harris. Really good chance he’s here for 4 more years and I think he has a role this year while slowly learning how he’ll possibly take over Garrett’s spot after the season. Unless Self lands himself a top level PG like he did Dotson to come in right away it makes the most sense that they are content to let Harris develop and become a starter.

I think it’s fine if Harris starts. The best case scenario with returning players leaves KU with three guards. Harris, Bryce and…Jossell. Braun, Ochai and Tyon could fill in but you really want a third guard other than Jossell. I can see where it would be tough to recruit even normally w/o the NCAA crap as other coaches will say everyone is coming back. Other than getting a guard out recruiting has lined up well with players that are for sure leaving. Clemence in for Silvio and KJ in for Mitch.
-
I would absolutely prefer another guard that’s interchangeable on the perimeter. The rug fell out from the Hickman recruitment, Bates did his thing and Salis is being pushed in other ways so it is what it is there. Missing on Hickman is a major loss, I personally thought his game was terrific. Maybe the staff finds something in the Spring or pushes the transfer market for an upperclassmen. The recruiting cloud isn’t going away anytime soon and I wouldn’t count out Braun becoming a go-to perimeter guy by Jr season. I think he has the chance to surprise the fanbase the way Marcus developed himself into a dependable PG option last season. Things have a way of working themselves out. I hope the recruiting losses on the perimeter are replaceable.

Gayle is very good, reminds of BMac
-
@BShark Man, a 6’6 PG.
-
Offered Mark Armstrong, a guard out of Jersey.
-
New offers: Mor Seck, Noah Shelby.
-
Some other names to check in on these kids has KU lister in their 5 schools of interest.
Amari Bailey # 4 in the 247 & # 5 by rivals ( Chatsworth CA ) 6"4 CG looks like UCLA maybe the lead
Kijari Wright #10 in the 247 & # 11 rivals ( LA CA ) 6’9 PF
Keynte George # 12 in the 247 6"4 SG ( Lewisville Tx ) I think
Bryce Griggs # 22 in the 247 6"3 Combo ( Sandiego CA )
Some to keep track of
-
SLAM THE DOOR SHUT BILLY
-
Good sign to at least be making final 5s on elite players. Believe recruiting can get back on track after NCAA crap.
-
Like where we stand on that list too.

Reclass is on the table there as well. KU would love him in either.
-

-
Mady Traore 6 '11 wing - - a kid who loves the 3 - - -shoots it pretty decent , needs some mass , 6’11 & 195. Orginally from France - now in Virginia.

You can’t win any of these recruitments if you don’t try.
-
To add, I always wonder if the coaches go in thinking they have no shot due to AAU or shoe co
-
@BeddieKU23 Good point, and you are right. But coaches from schools non-affiliated will offer scholarships anyway just to make sure that the favored schools put in the work, if nothing else. It also allows them to zone in on their true targets, while hopefully preoccupying their competitors elsewhere. Damn near militaristic, but effective.
-
Well can’t say the Staff isn’t putting in work. - Went through the rankings of 2022 recruits from 247 sports went through top 60 ranked kids,
At this point where the kids list their top five schools at this particular point KU is listed by the following players as one of the kids top five Schools of interest : # 4 - – # 6 - - -# 10- - # 12 - - # 13 - - -# 21 - - - # 29 - - # 30 - - # 31 - - # 37 - - & # 44
So we must be still getting kids attention we just HAVE TO FINISH on some of these kids.
So of particular interest as I know at one point anyways heard we were right there with a couple of these kids - -does anyone know any more how we stand with Mark Mitchell & Grady Dick ?
Would be interested in a couple of others if anyone know or has heard anything and they are : # $ ranked kid Amari Bailey a 6’4 CG out of Chatsworth California. - - He has us listed along with UCLA , Alabama , Depaul , Illinois - - - Then the # 30 ranked kid Vince Iwuchukwu a 7 footer C out of LaPorte Indiana ? - he has us listed along with – -Baylor , Purdue , TCU , Texas , & KU - -looks like he wants to stay right here in the middle of the Country with those choices - - - -Anybody help ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Grady just updated his recruitment. KU vs Baylor battle really. Alabama also probably rounds out the Top 3. Hopefully with Covid and his connections to the program he stays local.
Not expecting KU to be serious with anyone in the Top 20-25 recruits. Just the way it is right now.
Hoping they keep after Rylen Griffen #46, SG out of Texas
Aiden Shaw out of Blue Valley sits at #77 and should be someone they look into.
-
He is a must get, being as talented as he is and from Wichita.
-
One to watch. Potential reclass. He’s got a lot of traits Self likes. Combo guard, stupid athlete. Very good defender. Shooting is meh. https://247sports.com/Player/Kyle-Cuffe-Jr-46086980/

I know rankings are crap with covid but there isnt another athlete at 6’2 in high school that can jump like that. I don’t understand the 100 ranking on athleticism alone

Sounds promising. He’s definitely on the want list. Deciding by end of 2020 and could reclass. I hope they are pushing hard on him
