What I like about the Rice signing, other than him being a baller, it reopens the Prolific Prep pipeline and Cali.

Rice is a North Carolina kid, just doing the prep school thing. He was at Oak Hill before PP. AAU connection helped here (Team Loaded which Frank and Dave played for).

@Marco You can say that again!

As if people didnât already know , Iâm just going to put this out there, you can either take it FWIW or you donât have to. But for all the oneâs out there and not even saying itâs anyone in this site BUT there ARE some KU people who think we have a shot - - -Iâm telling you here and now for the oneâs who think that there is any chance in Hell that Livingston might commit to KU - - -Pssst please
We have just about as much a chance of getting Livingston to commit here as I have to becoming the Pope tomorrow lol - thatâs all. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Memphis or Overtime Elite for Livingston.
Not sure how OTE is going to make money tbh.
-
Memphis is out on the Livingston bros. Not sure where he lands.

Interesting! Donât think he fits at this point positionally with KU. Obviously a very good player but already bringing in 2 5* caliber players at the 3/4.
Maybe it will indeed be Overtime then.
-
@BShark I know⌠But he now lives, schools and balls with Cali kids, right?.. Right⌠So Cali is somewhat open. But the Carolina connection, coming through yet againâŚ
-
@FarmerJayhawk heâll be a Jayhawk or pro. I would say pro.

Lol. It opened some. Rice is balling with Cali players now, right? Think that he talks about KU? That in itself a is a door. Not to mention the Prolific connection.
-
Looks like Bryce Griggs is going pro as well, high 4 star PG that KU was recruiting.
-
Brief one time Target 5 star PF Kijani Wright to USC. No surprise given their recent success with bigs to the league.

Not too surprised there, looked like KU and others had moved on.

Bad choice. He is not pro.
-
Well, he is a pro right now. He signed a pro contract.
-
1.2 million is Griggs deal for 2 years. You donât turn that down.
-
If a Top 50 kid is getting over a million for 2 years to go pro its hard to imagine the NIL ever competing with that. Imagine the price for the cream of the crop kids. Dillon Mitchell, #28 was just offered 2 million for 2 years.

Kinda hard to see this league making money tbh.
-
Time will tell, but when top programs like KU get their NIL programs running to the fullest I canât imagine that players arenât making close to that.

The key will be that they can offer solid money plus an education. The mistake before was trying to argue that the education alone was worth passing up millions of dollars (hint: it wasnât). But if you can offer a guy $200,000 or so per year plus education and training, thatâs not bad.
The key is to make the college route competitive. That will be a challenge because obviously these pro opportunities can offer something similar (partnering with a University of Phoenix or similar for online courses) but that is probably still a ways out, though it could come together quickly.
-
In time maybe NIL will be a good option. In the short run the OTE is definitely offering big bucks. Guess they have some deep pocket investors for now. If this jumps off then its tough to compete with. If its crumbles then weâll see.

Wonder the same but I guess weâll see what happens after 1 year. Either a short term boom or a long term problem for College B Ball

If this continues , and these pro league make a run of this - - you wonât see NCAA College Basketball down the line - it will be history , NCAA Basketball just canât compete with these guys

Drama drama, sky is falling, waah waah waahâŚ
Say 50 or 500 guys a year go out of HS, on top of all the one and dones. College bb will still be around, lower echelon players move into the ranks, the competition isnât quite as high but it all levels out in the end. No shortage of good athletes who will move up and be excellent. More opportunities for some to get schollies.
People will still watch their favorite teams, the Field House will still get 16,300, and the sun will come up every day for the next 4 to 5 billion years.

See if your referring to my post? - there IS no of the so called waah - -waah , what it is is fact. - -your going to see more ALOT more of these kids going - The NCAA is running themselves out of sight - out of mind. Between the diminishing of the NCAA - the ajoining of these leagues transforming into super Conferences - And these Overtime Eliteâs - - College Basketball is going to be so watered down gonna leave your head spinning. - Your more the welcome to your entertaining thoughts -as well as I am mine - we shall see - itâs going to be a whole new ballgame in the future - the very neat future. Basketball as we now know it is about to Change - a Big change
-
@jayballer67 There is a world of difference between you saying âcollege basketball is historyâ in your first post, and now saying it is going to change.
Of course it will. That was my point. It will adapt, and we wonât be wringing our hands about players who arenât there.

Heâs not bad at all, a lot of size for the guard/wing position. Not a huge fan of his jump shot but he seems to make them. Ranked #35 so obviously talent there. Need a big class either through guys like this or through the portal so this is a good offer
-
Looks like this will be a huge class. Biggest priority should be adding a guy to play the 5 spot but you take talent where you can get it. I think 35 is probably too high but he has some decent tools.

Sounds good enough for me my friend

I also read that Julian Phillips 6â8 SF out of Link Year Academy Branson Missouri is setting up a visit or wants to visit. - -Ranked # 21 by Rivals.
Other Schools : LSU , Clemson , Fla St , USC , Ala , Fla , Tenn , UCLA , & Virg
-
Well not really recruiting but KU ball. Were getting closer guys , read the article by Gary Bedore - -Coach Self said their all here , as classes start today. - -Coachs are allowed to work with the group for 4 hours a week , kinda get things rolling you know. - -The players are allowed more time as a group but Coachâs 4 hours a week with the team.
Hmmm, can you smell that ? - -Smells like a BIG KU run this season coming , on itâs way. - - -Iâm ready - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
That one is playing in a sandbox we cannot compete with. Interesting though that he wants to visit.

oh I didnât know, 1st I had even heard anyone speak of him. Ya just read the article and him saying he wanted to visit
-
@BShark for his sake, it had better be a longterm deal. But I get your point.
-
Is that Branson school an academy? Never heard of the guy.

Says it was an academy - ranked pretty high some pretty decent schools

Yohan Traore going all the way up to 4th!! overall in the next Rivals update. Well that was a nice dream that he would end up at KU when Bill offered him as a 3*/NR.

I think he goes pro tbh. What you say?
-
@BeddieKU23 Seems quite likely now.
-
Agree. I think KU can find a quality big on the transfer market next year. There just isnât a big they are going to land that is going to immediately fill the Big Dave role
-
Rylan Griffen will visit KU Oct 1. Apparently visiting with Mark Mitchell. Also will see Alabama and Georgia
