Significant to note, he played on an Adidas sponsored team
-
@BeddieKU23 Sister playing at KSU could be a factor as well. Not that far from Lawrence to Manhattan.

Sounds like at this point really interested - we shall see. Talking about how he was working on handling the ball skills & looking forward to visiting

Tape I watched was not too bad. About what you expect from the #109 ranked player. Pretty decent rim protector, can make 3’s. Seems like a versatile modern big. Not a ton of film on him yet.

looks like he needs a little bulk - - looks thin

About a half hour of tape here.
But yea about all you need to know is he is a long armed dude. Pretty coordinated. Stroke looks good.
I would not expect a lot from him though. Total flyer. 11th or 12th scholarship type of guy.

Enoch Boakye went from Izzo to Arizona St. What a weird kid

Jayden Epps commits to Providence @BShark

Unfortunate as I love his game. If we are taking a HS guy in this class and he wants to commit early, makes sense though.

KU involved with recent Memphis decomit 4 star Arterio Morris who’s headed to the G-League. Good times
-
@BeddieKU23 Wut? Are you saying he is going G-League or we’re going after him?

ya really doesn’t make any sense to be involved with a kid if he is going G league - waste of time , could take that time and invest on a kid that’s NOT going G league
-

@BeddieKU23 Wut? Are you saying he is going G-League or we’re going after him?
Both. He mentioned KU was one of several schools recruiting the hardest. It’s also expected he goes G-League which has been an option for him for a while
-
@BeddieKU23 Probably just threw out a feeler to cover our bases. Doubt that we’re investing alot of time and effort.

I’d be more concerned if we didn’t already have guys on board. Doubt they would pass on anyone hoping to get him.

Top 15 PF Kijani Wright of Los Angeles California said over the weekend KU one of 5 programs recruiting him the hardest. More importantly he’s playing on an Adidas grassroots team
One of the best rebounders in the high school game, Kijani Wright was tenacious on the glass in his first spring grassroots showing. Controlling the boards is a priority for him as he fully utilized his massive frame and played with great aggressiveness when battling inside. He is a high volume rebounder and smart player with good hands, footwork, and activity level who projects as a productive frontcourt force to be reckoned with for a winning program.
Recruitment: The top ten nationally ranked prospect says Arkansas, Kansas, Stanford, UCLA, and USC are the programs recruiting him the hardest.

lol
-
@BShark what’s so funny?
-
@BeddieKU23 looks like Silvio if Silvio had played basketball his entire life.
-
@Kcmatt7 Imagine Adidas actually delivering us one of their top players.

Traditionally a Arizona/Pac 12 feeder team. I’ll believe a Cali player signs here when they step on campus
-
@BShark How long is the Adidas contract for, again?
-
All eternity probably.
The reality is we need to improve our football brand.
-
@BShark Whoever they hire should get 7 years basically no matter what, imo. They need to get a fair shake.
That or hire someone like Bobby Petrino and let’s cheat our way back into relevancy. But pick one.
-
@BShark so, what are you saying? Bring back Glen Mason
? Does he have anything left in the tank?
-
@Kcmatt7 I didn’t realize Petrino just led MSU to a friggen conference championship his first year there lmao.
Screw it. Just hire the guy. The only man who can turn KU Football around.

They had a wild year. Started their season back in the fall and just wrapped up. Petrino is a grade A prick but can coach his arse off. That being said, it’ll be Monken or Leipold.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Oh it was more of a joke. I mean I still can’t believe how good of a football coach that guy is…
Would be REALLY funny to bring him in after Jeff Long got fired lol. But no I think a “program” guy like Leipold or Monken is probably the right decision.
-
2022 6’6" wing @dariq_whitehead of @mvabasketball has been offered by Kansas according to teamdurant dir. Of recruiting @Dwayne _wise
-
you think Whitehead the real deal BShark ? - 247 Crystal shows Florida St
-
Elite player, doubt we get him.
-
Whitehead been trending to FSU, elite athleticism
-
Bobi Klintman is moving from Sweden to Wichita to play high school basketball despite having offers to go basically anywhere including pro clubs in Europe. Mutual interest with KU. Something to keep an eye on.
-
@BShark Starting to think him ending up in Wichita isn’t a coincidence…
-
But we already have Dick. How would having both him and Klintman work?
-
@Marco Klintman very much looks like a modern 4. He’s like 6’8 for real.

Elite passer.

-
@BShark newer tape makes him look more athletic too.
Really glad he’s doing a prep year though so we get to see some actual tape against real players.
-
I would happily have Dick and Klintman on the roster @Marco
We will be in a position where likely the only wing remaining on the roster will be CB. I can’t see Jalen staying beyond HOPEFULLY next year.
-
@Marco I anticipate Gradey being out on the wing.
-

Not sure exactly how credible this guy is, but lines up with what I was told. Very serious mutual interest.

Dylan Andrews committed to UCLA

Yeah no surprise there. His friend Kijani Wright looks like a G League candidate.
-
4 star forward tarris Reed has been offer by Kansas

Don’t see him ending up at KU.

Kansas has expanded an offer to class of 2022 five-star forward Brandon Miller

Gradey Dick up to #18 on the ESPN rankings. Now a 5*
