2022 Recruiting Thread

@Marco Three star recruit yes. His position is a low post player.
-
@BShark gotcha. What I like about the three of them though is that all three are inside players with handles. It is going to be nice to have some muscle inside too. Hopefully Gethro develops and can fill in at the 5 and 4. I was trying to imagine Curry with an outside shot playing occasionally as a mismatch 3

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Really need him in 21.
I saw where he said he really wasnāt thinking about re-classifying right now just wanted to get this announcement out of the way so he could concentrate on the Season , from things Iām seeing and hearing RIGHT NOW anyways sounds more like he is staying in 2022,
If that is true hate to hear that , thatās a long time for a kid to make a verbal - lots of things can happen between now and then exp - - Ku gets hit hard for this NCAA crap - can change a kids mind real easy , seen that happen way to many times - -School is ban from a post Season or whatever they want that exposure - what better exposure then the Tourney - -Big Time Stage- ā sure hopin -he comes early

@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Sounds like he plans to be here for awhile. āThatās the next four years of my lifeā.
OH BShark buddy/Dude - what an awesome post thread from ya buddy. I REALLY appreciate that. makes me appreciate you and the things you share that much more.
Here is my take from that. 1st I usually form an opinion pretty quick and once itās formed hard to change. The 1st thing I take from this is - -loves his family , seems like very level headed kid Seems like the whole family is just a very caring loving family
Hard work ethic , works hard loved the section of his work outs dedicated to getting better - di ya all catch the part about running steps up and down the 25 stories ? - holy jumpin ā gee - - hossie - - fats . a kid like that always wanting to work hard make something for his future - -coming out or from surrounding Harlem -just loved the whole video he put together - -very well done
Ol Coach saying he was on pins & Needles lol - -dam loved this video , might watch again lol again love his work ethic from what I saw - -not a lot of this flashy hi-lite reel where itās just a dunk fest - more down to earth family/working out/ his culture/growing up things like that - - - AND he is now a Jayhawk - - best part.
Now here is the thing call me stupid whatever but another of my 1st takes on this - you know who Kyle kind of reminds me of personality wise lighting up the room Smiling and such ? - - just my take - -kind of reminds me a little of Devonte Graham sure do , - -oh ya I think Iām gonna love this guy- - Gonna love him a lot gonna be a baller - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - -Thanks again BShark

Oh, man. Love this kid already. He seems to have āitā. Canāt wait to see him in crimson & blue! Thanks, @BShark !

God, I hope he reclassifies, we need him next year. If we had him next season along with the others coming in and who we have coming back, even if Agbaji goes pro, Iām stoked.

Thank you so much for posting. Gotta

Saw another video with Cuffe and interestingly he mentioned he had decided on KU about 2.5-3 weeks before announcing. I knew that Jayhawk cake he had was too good to have been made on short notice.

KU in it for Nick Smith high 4 star guard. #27.
Norm on the lead here.

Norm is workin lately. Not sure KU has a great shot here but he is a great talent. Seems like Auburn is the favorite.

Made the final 8 for Mady Traore. 3* but his final 8 is Auburn, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Oregon, Pittsburgh, USC and Virginia Tech. Good prospect at 6ā11āā.

Imagine with that final group heās better then his rank

2022 4 star Isaac traudt has picked up a offer from Kansas

His profile on 247

-
Seems like heād develop into a good College player
-
@BeddieKU23 Very skilled.
-
Saw his smooth jumper, immediately said im good if we get him
-
2022 Braeden Moore blessed to have received an offer from the University of Kansas
-
Ok , so I guess Iām missing something. Help me friends. Could be wrong but just seems to me with what we have committed for NEXT year Clemmons , & KJ Adams plus others we will have - -seems like our front court would be good. Having said that this is why Iām commenting.
KU is one of seven schools prioritizing 6ā10 Jai Smith from the word of God North Carolina - -has 35 offers or interest I guess , other schools are Alabama , Georgia , Houston , Illinois , Marquette , & Memphis. - -off the 247 site it shows Ku & Maryland listed as warms on his Schools of Interest.
So my question is & again it says we are prioritizing him - -my question would be WHY ? - -I just think it would be more important for the backcourt - -I would think we should be fine up front. - - Am I missing something ?
-
Going to quote Bossi on this one: āJai Smith says a lot of things to a lot of people.ā

Gotcha. - - -is my thinking wrong though? ā -Shouldnāt we be good for 2022 in the front court bud ?
-
Names to keep an eye on in 2022: Rylan Griffen (Snacks), Isaac Traudt, Braeden Moore (Snacks)
Mouhamed Gueye is a very intriguing prospect but it looks like he is UCLAās to lose.
Not sure KU will be in a position to win the bidding war for the Thompson brothers. KT is on them, which also hurts my confidence.
-
Kyle Cuffe now ranked #56 in the 2022 rankings on rivals. Jumped 22 spots. His composite will jump if ESPN ever gets around to ranking him as well.
-
A few others to mention Shaedon Sharpe (recently offered by KU/UK) now #20 and made a 70 spot jump. Freak athlete with smooth game.
Vincent Iwuchukwu, 7 footer recently updated his recruitment and said KU is very involved. #29 on Rivals. Top 30 kid composite.

The issue with ESPN besides sucking out loud is that they only bother with ranking 60 underclassmen.
-
Yep thatās definitely part of it. Really hoping he ends up in 21. We need a couple of dudes
-
Couple of things comment from Vincent Iwuchukwu a 7 footer that KU has offered see him say KU was for sure was involved.
Then see we offered Braeden Moore a 6ā8 pf out of Nashville Tenn # 52 ranked avg 20.4 & 8.4 ppg this year , been making or averaging 3 -three pointers a game not sure what to think
Watch some tape, canāt say overly impressed at this point anyways - - could be me though. To me looks kind of slow a foot , looks like a below the rim player at least didnāt see anything in his hi-lite , his shot looks pretty low projectory/kind of flat- -but hell what do I know lol, his body build his shot looks kind of like Christian to me only Christian more arch- - - yet looks like same release - -not sure how that will even work out just saw we offered

Moore has gotten a ton of new offers this week. Blowing up

Donāt see it. KU is really the only major blue blood - -other then that ehh, Tennessee maybe - - -Auburn MAYBE - -MAYBE other then KU ummm no. - -No Duke - - No N Carolina - - No Virginia - - No Gongazaās - - -No Baylorās - - -No Kentuckyās you see those schools offering then you know ya this kid is really legit - just donāt see interest not impressive at all from what I see. Granted just one highlight film -but if that is a highlight? - - mercy , think we could do better with out Scholiās for sure
-
I donāt think the other big name programs will offer but Iām just pointing out he has several high major offers from several diverse teams. Some of those teams offered him when his game doesnāt even look to fit with the typical recruit those schools get. The film doesnāt jump but maybe thereās some recent film not for viewing that shows some kind of improved game. For someone to be getting that much attention he must be okay

ya have to agree with that. - There just has to be some other tape that shows different agree, for that many schools to offer or be interested. - Another thing though is too we seem to already have what we need for that spot frontline, think we should be ok I just feel we need the help more in the back court 2 guard PGās and such but ya I agree with you on those points.
