2022 Recruiting Thread
-
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…
-
-
@BShark Looks like a very underrated player.
-
Given we offer anyone with a pulse, Bill must not like him that much.

From my neck of the woods… known as a shot blocker bout it

Bossi’s article today
Gradey Dick
247Sports rank in 2022: 43.
Who is involved/analysis: Back in late December, four-star small forward Gradey Dick cut his list down to a final eight of Alabama, Baylor, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Texas Tech. He is a skilled wing with very good positional side, some mid-range game, good athleticism and he understands how to play with other very good players. Some stuff needs to shake out with him, but most involved seem to understand that it is going to take a really strong effort on the recruiting trail to pull Dick out of his home state and away from the Jayhawks.
The prediction: Kansas.
Confidence level: 7
“Some stuff”, aka Nike steering him to Baylor…
-
KU really needs to land him. He’s going to be a hell of a college player.
-
I think he’s most important for keeping local talent in state and the pipeline to Sunrise… thats been an issue lately besides Zach. It doesn’t sound like Mitchell is an option due to influences around him so this one is critical. He fills a need in 22 as Ochai will be moving on. Definitely a critical one here. @BShark might have something more to share here. Could be an interesting pairing with Selfs coaching style.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’m one hundred percent with you. Dick is a guy that we must sign. I can envision the scene in AFH now, a bunch of young women holding up signs that read, ‘We Love Dick!’

LMAO - -now you stop that Miser lol , just giving you the business. I reckon a bunch of young women holding up those signs would be much better then a bunch of young Men holding those up lmao

KU is still the heavy favorite but it’s not locked in. Of course I will share more if I hear more. We should have switched to Nike lol. Imagine being Nike with Sunrise being in KS.
-
@BShark Stupid. If we could just recruit well locally all of the time we’d be phenomenal honestly.
2022 class has three local top 100 kids.
Land Mark Mitchell and Gradey Dick and the 2022 class is gold.
-
Expecting Dick to be a Jayhawk based on a recent exchange.
-
I think we have a good shot at Mitchell too. We were on him so early it’ll be disappointing if we miss. Is he friends with any of the guys on the team rn?

Maybe he switches to Sunrise for his last yr too. They are losing 4 starters
-
Amari Bailey #3 in 22 off the board to UCLA, for now

I would be pretty surprised if Mitchell ends up at KU. If Kentucky offers he will be there most likely. If not I think he ends up @ UNC.
-
Put it another way, swooosh is in deep
-
@BeddieKU23 Are they? He isn’t on the MoKan roster and he isn’t at a Nike prep. I guess that I just don’t see the Nike connection.
-
Like how is Adidas not landing this dude for KU? I’m so serious. How is a life-long Kansas native, where was KU his second offer and first P5 offer, not put on the Adidas payroll?
-
Guessing here.
His last update in January
"No not really just UCLA, Mizzou, Kansas, Arkansas, UNC been on me the hardest,” Mitchell responded when asked if there was anything new with his recruitment. “I’ve been talking to Kentucky a little more recently.”
-
@Kcmatt7 Who’s KU’s liaison with Adidas now because I assume it’s no longer Gassnola? That’s something that’s going to impact KU recruiting as well while they develop a relationship with a new liaison.
