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

Hope this changes…
Status: Rylan Griffen was once rumored to commit early last year but is now looking to wait things out and make a decision right before his senior year. Kansas looked to be the original favorite, however, Arkansas, Arizona, Kansas State, Oklahoma, and Memphis have made up ground.
Way too early prediction: Oklahoma

Heard KU or OU for awhile.

2022 f bobi Klintmann has received an offer from Kansas
-
Read where Ku has interest in Braeden Carrington - - Them and Baylor both. - -Has offers from Florida , Minnesota , Missouri , & Seton Hall.
Said he wants to visit Fla , Missouri , Baylor , Missouri , & KU. Not sure in all seriousness how strong KU is with him , he said they haven’t talked a lot but when they have KU talking how he would fit the program and want to get to know him better 6"3 Combo that is I guess been working at some PG out of Minn , Mn - -has good Medium Range and gets to the Basket , solid defender.
Anybody else heard anything on this guy ? - -I don’t really think they will attempt to hard , never know
-
Shooting form looks good. From what I looked at, not what I’d consider an above the rim guy or super explosive athlete. But I wouldn’t turn my nose up. Good dexterity with both hands.
Has a younger brother Mikai may be the real target…
-
Carrington has good form but not an explosive athlete by any means. I don’t see PG from the videos I watched either…
The other kid Kintmann can shoot it, looks like 6’8. Needs the S & C program to work on things. Not sure where this offer goes. Euro kid I believe…
-
@BeddieKU23 Watch some Mikai Klintman tape. Looks more explosive than his brother. Really think the staff is playing the long game with this one…
-
Maybe the success of Svi here will help if he becomes a prospect worth looking at.
-
Baylor again killing the recruiting trail. They landed 4 star guard Dillon Hunter #42. Athletic big combo guard that gets to the lane and can shoot it. Pretty much a carbon copy of the recruit KU needs but can’t land
-
Ku showing interest in 4 star PG Tre Holloman. They haven’t offered but noted increased contact. Athletic guard at 6’1, good quickness and can shoot it. Prides himself as being a good on-ball defender. Really one KU should get involved with…
Edit: Kids from Minnesota and Michigan St offered in October. Also the 2nd ranked Safety in Football in Minn. Michigan St is after him hard, might suggest why they haven’t offered.
-
OK so looking for some help. - -Has ANYBODY heard any rumor or rumblings on this kid - - - – Amari Bailey ranked # 3 per 247 -2022 rankings , a 6’4 Combo Guard ? - -I know we need Guards, and saw where he has KU listed in his top five Colleges of interest. - - Aer we working on him - -duh pretty stupid question BUT has anyone heard anything on him at all ? - -is ther any interest from him on KU now - -anybody got any info ? - - Film ? - - appreciate it guys , just curious. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Really haven’t seen Bailey linked with KU. Honestly don’t think we can play in that sandbox if you get the hint. National recruit playing on a big HS team that funnels kids to Nike etc. He’s a stud but I think our recruiting efforts would be wasted on him with what we are currently faced with
-
Recruiting is v hard right now.

Thanks , was just curious. He just had us listed at least as one of his top 5 College of interest. From the way that looks though might well be pretty hard to get him of the West Coast anyways , & we sure don’t need anymore of questionable circumstances - -Thanks
-
seen a ne name that KU just offered.- - - 6’9 Isaac Traudt out of Grand Island Neb, Very Capable shooter from distance , can put the ball on the floor as a big or stretch 4. - - -Has 28 offers right now most recent has been KU & Virginia. Gonzaga has shown interested -N Carolina , Michigan St - Gonzaga hasn’t offered just yet - -Duke has shown Interest - -lot of big time schools
Anybody heard anything on this kid ? - probably not much of a shot, besides if he has played time as a Big Man or a stretch 4 - - - Again I think with who we got cominh in the question becomes - -Do we have a need for another. - -Mentioned that he also has been playing PG for his high School
-
@BShark NCAA stuff needs cleared up. Just is what it is.
-
Not sure we need him tbh. We have clemence whos better and similar player
-

He’s okay. Depending on how the roster shakes out after next year, he could be a take.
-

kind of what I wa thinking. Seems to me were pretty set for that spot
-
I wouldn’t turn him down by any means. He’s getting big time offers, Gonzaga (interested), UNC, Michigan St, Virgina, KU so that tells you he’s pretty good. He seemed excited by the KU offer. We’ll see what happens. Would like to see his Jr film and see if he’s improving physically.

Blair Academy has had a couple games. Cuffe showing off good form from 3, blocking shots with his elite athleticism. Really hoping this kid can reclass and join 21

Yep he can help next year. Not sure in what role but he can have an impact even if it’s off the bench.
-
Not sure if this kid is 2021 OR 2022. - -The heading says 2021 KU is in his final 10 - -Whoopie , Combo Guard - -Noah Shelby. - -yet in the article says he is 2022, so you tell me. - -Bet he is 2022, anybody know anything on this kid ?
-
I love his game but he won’t be a Jayhawk.

I’ve kind of forgotten about him. Oops. I don’t think they’re pushing as hard for a reclass now given we get free agency this off-season and the covid waiver situation. Might be just as well off leaving him on ice for another year. Might not want 3 freshmen combo guards on the roster next year.
-
The FR thing caught me off guard for a second, forgot that technically Bryce and Harris would be classed as FR.
-
Right? I think KU will list them as sophs but they can use the extra year at the end. Bryce probably won’t but I think Harris does. Harris and Wilson will be elite old dudes freshmen lol
-
not actually KU related BUT - - looks like Drew has done it AGAIN. - -sure looks like he is going to get a commit out of Vince Iwuchukwu the 7 footer that KU had shown interest in. Baylor receiving quite a few CB’S for him - - dammit
-
Question, is Baylor a Nike school? They are starting to seriously recruit, and me no like. Is Tech an Under Armor school? If so, and if Beard ever decides to leave that would probably be one of the biggest reasons.

Yes to both. Baylor has a nice pipeline going right now and Drew has always been able to recruit.
-
@FarmerJayhawk true. But the pipeline seems to be flowing ($) even better now.
-
My only thought with holding him on ice is any potential negative blowback from the NCAA case making him rethink going from NJ to KU…
