@BeddieKU23 Fair.
One of the 247 national guys just said he loves Kansas. Looking at a list cut soon and KU will not only be there but be near the top. Paraphrasing a bit since it’s vip. Before KU offered Smith himself made strong comments about KU. Think this boils down to how hard KU goes after him. Possible reclass but I kinda figured KU was done for bigs in 21 unless we have an unexpected departure.

well let’s see Mitch is gone , - - -Unless Dave leaves for some reason - that’s about it when you start talking about Big’s now isn’t it ? - -i think we all know Jalen won’t be going anywhere , not after this Season right? - so among the Big’s who else is there big’s wise ? - -Unless Gethro maybe for some reason ,possibly seeing he might be being recruited over possibly and moves on knowing he might be buried right?
I just can’t see the logic in 2021 , KU can still really get after the kid just for 2022 would be a better situation I think. - With us Having Curry , Clemence , & KJ coming in next year I don’t know could be wrong have been known to be wrong before - - justdon’t think 2021 wouyld be a good fit

247 interest upped to warm alongside Maryland you love to see it.

So what do you think? - - would you want him to re-class ?
-
I’d take him in 21 if there was a spot abs could redshirt, so he’d be a quasi-22
-
I think if he is being taken in the 21 class it means someone is leaving early. Maybe Tristan…
-
Seems like he is KU’s to lose at this point though obviously things can change.

well If that would turn out to be the case IF Tristan leaves & he did re-class it would seem to me that our frontline could be pretty salty fairly quickly. - Not huge/tall but more that athletic type possible 6’9 6’10 might be pretty nice.
Is he in a position he could re-class ?
-
@jayballer67 Yeah, I’ve seen it mentioned with him.
-
Shows he had 38 offers. Some other noteable Schools who offered West Virginia , UCLA , S Carol , Seton Hall , Okla St , Georgia , LSU , Marq , Arizona , Wake F , & DUKE to name some of the bigger ones
-
There’s some smoke around KU and Kyle Cuffe…
-
@FarmerJayhawk Would be pretty big to land a kid from PSA again, I imagine. Dollar Bill back???

Is he a good shooter of more of an athlete on the wing?

At this point I would be surprised if Tristan is back. He just doesn’t seem to play with the urgency and his attention to detail drives Bill crazy. He is not going to play much this year unless he does a complete 180 and I don’t see that happening.
-
@Woodrow Can’t shoot, but I believe they view him as a PG.

Agree. I imagine he is frustrated with his playing time but lacking want to will get you in Self’s dog house every time.

Incredible athlete. Self and co will have to do their patented tear down and rebuild of his shooting form. At bare minimum he’d be able to come in right away and defend (already a plus defender) and drive. In some ways he’s similar to Devon in style, but Cuffe is definitely more of a pure athlete where Devon was just absurdly fast.
-
Shay Wildebeast over at Rivals put in a pick for us. St. John’s is going to get a good player
-
@FarmerJayhawk LOL
We know he’s just piggy backing off the pick and info from Cassidy.
Looked at his profile 88.5% accuracy because well, he waits and piggybacks.
-
@BShark of course. I just like giving him crap because he’s generally deserving of it. Talk about a sweet gig he’s got over there.

Oh absolutely 100% agree.
Chasen isn’t really an insider type either but he tries, writes good articles and doesn’t play it off that he is one either. He’s basically a good reporter, which is fine.
-
4 star Power Forward Julian Phillips #33 prospect from South Carolina listed KU as a school he’s talking to. Meh update here, he had a lot more to say about other programs
“Ohio State, Florida State, Clemson, Iowa State, Kansas and I hear from UNC once every week on Tar Heel Thursdays”
"Kansas: “They said they like my game and I could fit in well there and I could use my versatility to fit what they do in their program.”
-
KU offered Shaedon Sharpe, Top 50 prospect, 6’4 guard from Canada. Played for sunrise in 19-20 and now at Dream City in Arizona. Reportedly has a 45 inch vert. Video confirms he can jump out the gym. Nice perimeter shot as well.
-
@BeddieKU23 My buddy called him Ochai 2.0.
-
Initial thought was more Brandon Rush with pogo’s attached to his legs
-
Huntley Hatfield is staying in 22. Really good from KU’s end. We’re obviously full of bigs for the foreseeable future.
-
@BShark Can’t shoot? So with our already having Harris who apparently can’t shoot either, would that be a good fit. Side note, I think Enaruna would be the one who will transfer. The light just isn’t coming on.
-
The more I see and hear, the more I want Rylan Griffen a lot more than Gradey Dick.
-
Bingo! we have a winner here
-
@BeddieKU23 reminds me of BMac
-
Hopefully we close on him.
-
@BShark man, is Dick that soft? What, is his game just not advancing?
-
Griffen is better. I want Shaw as well tbh if they can swing both. I think Gradey would crumble under Self, from what I’ve heard.
-

… are we doing phrasing on this board?
-
I don’t think the interest in Griffin is Mutual - I think no interest from him for us
-
Interesting considering that KU is more or less in his top 4. If anything I worry that the staff will focus elsewhere and Griffen will end up at another Big 12 school (KSU, OU or Tech). He has family ties to KSU.
-
Was just told by the guy covering him for 247 something very interesting… It’s VIP…but…KU is deep in this one…

In reality from people I’ve been talking to he is thick with K- state

guess we shall see hope your right on this
-
Yeah, he’s not going to KSU. That program is an absolute trash fire right now has almost no appeal to anyone of note.

Based on previous comments I thought he might be but yeah that was a pretty definitive statement from Brandon Jenkins about him.

Don’t know guess we shall see , I’ve seen other players pull bone head decisions before Again just going off what I’ve been told - but on the other hand all K-State connections could be they jus blowing smoke out their you know where
-
KState people thought they beat KU for Bradford when KU never offered. They don’t want to talk about Braun or Gethro. Cuffe soon to be added to that list lol.

It has not. I really think he ends up in 21 though.

ya I have to feel the same too. - If he is announcing WHERE he is going tomorrow I think he is re-classifying- will turn out being yet another solid class.
Every year seems we go through this fans and myself included at times fret - -sweat nuggets , panic cuss swear trying to figure out what the hell is going on - - and at the end of the recruiting periods - - Coach & Staff always assemble another solid class - - when will we learn lol - -As my boy Aaron Rogers says - - - - just - -R - - -E - - L - - A - - X lol

Who would you rather we sign, Cuffe or Griffin?
