His profile on 247

-
Seems like he’d 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 I’m 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 I’m commenting.
KU is one of seven schools prioritizing 6’10 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: “Jai Smith says a lot of things to a lot of people.”

Gotcha. - - -is my thinking wrong though? – -Shouldn’t 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 UCLA’s 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 that’s 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 6’8 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, can’t 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 didn’t 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

cool, yet have you seen his tape ? - -the one I saw wasn’t overly impressed, in THIS TAPE for sure a below the rim type player - -not sure how serious we are really
-
He is not athletic at all.

pretty much what I saw , not really seeing the interest or offers blowing up. gotta be missing something but not sure what

Don’t 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 Gongaza’s - - -No Baylor’s - - -No Kentucky’s you see those schools offering then you know ya this kid is really legit - just don’t 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 Scholi’s for sure
-
I don’t think the other big name programs will offer but I’m just pointing out he has several high major offers from several diverse teams. Some of those teams offered him when his game doesn’t even look to fit with the typical recruit those schools get. The film doesn’t jump but maybe there’s 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 PG’s and such but ya I agree with you on those points.

Arterio Morris is available again…

Wow. Guess he’s got another strong a** offer on the table

5 star 22 guard that was committed to Memphis

Bossi said it’s going to be a “goat rodeo”. Memphis still a possibility.
-
The way he is progressing he may end up a G League guy anyway when it comes to it. Definitely not going anywhere for free
-
Yeah I think pro for Morris

He is skilled and can shoot, but not athletic. I am with you and others, think that we need to a get us a couple of bigtime athletes.
-
Cuffe’s composite rank now inside the Top 100 at #98. Waiting on ESPN before he can move up further.

His ranking didn’t make any sense before if you only factor in his athleticism.
-
Agree, athleticism alone I see Top 50. The defensive chops are evident in film as well. I’m wondering if he hasn’t been seen enough until he moved to Blair. Super high on this kid. He gets to the next level if his shooting ability continues to improve
-
Boy we need him to re- classify to 21
-
It would certainly help if he can but it won’t solve all the issues Self is facing in the backcourt after this year. He needs to find another guard via the transfer market or get lucky an elite level one falls into his lap. Unlikely the latter happens so maybe the transfer market will be helpful

I want Richard Isaacs Jr aka Devonte Graham 2.0.
-
Now if we got both to reclass and come here then that’s something to be hopeful on. However young backcourts often have a ton of growing pains here, especially developing chemistry. Seems like we really need one good guard from HS and a veteran guard from the transfer portal to mix with Harris and Bryce
-
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, we loaded up on wings no doubt. With everything going on that was probably out of necessity, we had to sign them because that was who we could get and we needed bodies. But we definitely need a couple of guards.
-
Some interesting comments from Issacs, over 20 plus offers saying these 5 contact the most : - - Gonzaga , Iowa , Missouri , Oregon & KU.
6’2 PG from Utah , says this about KU. - -Has been talking to Kurt Townsend every week. That’s a GREAT relationship been building ever since he was a kid because of my DAD. It’s going well with them for sure. - -Sounds interesting for sure. had been some talk about him re-classifying TO 2021 BUT he says he is going to stay with 2022 saying he thinks if he was going to re-classify to 2021 he would of announced it by now.
Said he could be cutting his list down relatively soon. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
If we don’t get him that should be the final nail in Townsend’s coffin tbqh.

Well right now anyways , it from his remarks sounds like it might be good for us at this point anyways. - -# 24 ranking
-
He’s a very good player, reminds me of Graham.

I’d take that for sure
-
Hes a true floor general with offensive skill. The comp to Graham definitely fits
-
Well sounds like Vince Iwuchukwu won’t be an option for KU in 22. Seems like all Baylor from intel out there. Baylor is the new KU on the recruiting trail.

This has been done tbh

Makes sense, he’s from Texas as well. He’s going to be good in a few years and a terror for the league
