2022 Recruiting Thread

The main concern with Walsh is he’s not a reliable jump shooter. If he was he would be a 5 star. Perfect Self recruit
-
@BeddieKU23 Sounds like a perfect 4 man.
-
Lol , had to share the from TOS , made me laugh. Best phrase I’ve heard in some time.
Posters were talking about Cal & Kentucky claiming their 3rd 5 * recruit commitment for the class of 2022 with Livingston committing a poster said :
" Cal Consistently always has a garage full of Ferraris BUT only seems to only have ONE can of Gas " - -gotta love it , made me laugh very true lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

updated 247 rankings.
Rice #22 Comp (still 5 star) (25 on 247, 4 star)
Gradey #32 Comp, 35 on 247
Zuby #50 comp, 41 on 247.
Targets
Bona#10, Udeh #27, Walsh #38, Jackson #56, Griffen #71, Klintman #111.
Targets but pretty much impossible Smith #8, Traore #9, Mitchell #11, Miller #18, Phillips #20
-
Well Bona is on Campus this weekend. - - Baylor ( 24th-26th ) - -Kentucky ( 01-03 ) – & UCLA ( 22nd - 24th ) - - Would love to have him or Udeh - -but Bona like so many others probably gonna land at UK - - surprise.
Anthony Black still planning on coming for visit. In Arkansas this weekend - -Already visited Oklahoma St , & Georgia. - -others included Gonzaga , Baylor , Duke. - -Big time hitters here.
Then we have Walsh. He is in Texas this weekend. Already visited TCU , Oklahoma & Arizona State. - Why do I feel pretty good about this guy ? - -Might be way off base maybe no chance at all just a feeling. - -Suppose to be at KU on Sept 24th
-
Boils down to if Kentucky needs to take Bona. They might not in which case KU would have a shot…

Kentucky fans have a feeling that Lively going to pick Duke tomorrow so goin all in on Bona. – They said Cal was going to visit Bona again TODAY. - -that seems kind of hard to do isn’t it when he is on his visit to KU this weekend. - - Some think they get Lively & Bona both -some think with Cal visiting Bona today means Cal already knows Lively is committing to Duke. - still hope , if not then let’s get Udeh
-
welp

-
If Kentucky wants Adem Bona it’s over. Was hoping they would get Lively.
-
Thinking portal for a big
-
Think we are just going to have to live with Zuby. Hit the portal unless someone becomes available in the spring. With the opportunity waiting after this year in the post its shocking to see no top bigs coming here. But with the NIL etc the have’s are feasting and KU is just not one of them right now
-
Have always found it kind of interesting when I hear people talk about Bill not being able to recruit top ranked players , talking about why can’t he be more like Calipari. Calipari always getting loaded classes.
That’s very true , he does BUT Calipari doesn’t do really anymore then Self in the same length of time with those top notch players. stats pretty much sum that up. Since the year of 2000 Kentucky has been to two NCAA title games. One in 2012 ( this being the year he beat Bill ) and then in 2014 when he lost. - - So since 2000 the Great Cal has been to TWO title games and since 2000 Calipari & Kentucky has won ONE NCAA title.
Since 2000, KU has been to THREE NCAA Title games , yes true Bill only accounts for TWO ( same as Cal ) & yes Bill also has a 1-1 record in those Championship games , Beating Cal in 2008 when he was at Memphis & losing to Cal in 2012 while at Kentucky. So in reality Cal has don actually ZERO better then Bill and that is with all that superior talent that Bill can’t recruit. Cal constantly landing top ranked or Top 2-3-4-5 ranked classes .So what does that say ? - Cal does less with more talent ?- Could Bill have won more Championships with that talent ? - -Who knows ? - Thing is Calipari has done exactly nothing more then Bill during his time at Kentucky then Bill has i his time at KU
Plus PLEASE don’t try and throw out feeble reasoning saying WELL CALIPARI has been to the final four more then Bill. AND ? tell me is that the goal ? - is to reach the final four ? - -is that a teams goal at the beginning of the year ? – ummmm NO. - - it’s to win the NCAA title. , not make the final four - - Calipari has ONE and Coach has ONE - -yet Calipari consistently lands the top tier better talent. So you tell me Calipari really a better Coach ? - -Nope not at all , could mean actually Bill does a better job with the kids he gets then Calipari does with the talent he gets. -Just kind of amusing to me to hear people bitch about Bill

Zuby seems capable of playing interior defense.

In case anyone cares Duke got #2 Derrick Lively.

Nike is going to make sure Scheyer gets what he needs… Need to make sure that the transition goes as well as possible

It is really crazy just how much control the apparel companies have. Once you see the wizard behind the curtain for the first time, there is no denying it.

Yep 3 5 stars in 22 & 1 in 23 already without coaching a game. Too funny
-
Just the same song and dance just another year. - Kentucky & Duke just yanking all the top tier athletes. For 2022 recruits :
Kentucky with the # 1 - - # 6 - - # 7 ( he is a lock ) - - & 17. - - - - -Duke with the # 2 - - - # 5 - - -# 8 - -& # 16. - Yet Cal continues to wet himself with the talent he gets. - does less with more. Think the UK fans getting pretty fed up with the conversation I’m reading
-
For those wondering Adem Bona did visit last weekend. Said he “had a great visit”, “it was my first ever visit to a college and it was awesome”.
Met the coaching staff, said the culture is like one-of-a-kind. In general he had a great visit.
At least they got him on campus. Where his recruitment goes from here, who knows
Has scheduled trips to Baylor this weekend, Kentucky Oct 15th & UCLA Oct 22nd.

Kentucky UCLA battle.

Oh for sure I put the odds of him coming here 0% before the visit and 0% leaving. Would love to be wrong

I am starting to agree with some posters, that we’re going to have to wait and snag us a big from the transfer portal. With the players that we will have coming back and those coming in, it will already be a pretty deep frontcourt.
-
Losing Lightfoot & Martin for sure. Dave will have the option to come back but I wouldn’t call it likely if he has a big season. Wilson is a 50/50 call at this time too.
Clemence & Adams are left. Zuby is committed.
3 definitely, 4 or 5 possibly if things “worked out”. Could be crowded or attractive for a high level transfer/available HS big. Have to think experienced Vet given how young the 3 will still be.
-
Would be a massive shock if Jalen returned after this year. I’d put him at 99.9% gone.
-
Yeah I agree but we’ve seen crazier happen after a season.
-
Traore taking an official to KU this weekend. Courtesy visit for being the first offer? prolly
-
Shoot, smart kid for taking an all expenses paid trip to Late Night.
-
So has anyone heard who all is coming in for late night ? - -I know we go Chandler Jackson coming in also got the big guy coming. Other then those two , do we know of who els might be in ?

Walsh too. I think that we can land both, but we have to try real hard.

think between the two , better chance at Walsh then Traore

I think that we’ll get both. I’m not lying!
-
KU will most likely get neither. Texas looking great for Walsh, Arkansas in there as well. KU not really in the race for Traore, was surprised they got a visit.
As @FarmerJayhawk has mentioned, a transfer big is probably what will happen.

Judging by his twitter feed (retweeting the KU offer about 20 times), I’d say that he is pretty stoked about receiving it - bigtime stoked.
-
Not really sure how seriously KU is on this kid. 3 * from 247 - Rivals lists him at 6"11 & 215 lbs - -and 247 has him at 7 ft and 185. - Not really sure there would be anything to this , thinking with the portal like it is - -chances are a lot of real that KU lands a big from that -then this
-
Nick Smith to Arkansas - - - SURPRISE car is started and were - - -MOVING ON UP TO THE EAST SIDE lol - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Not leaving the south as expected.
-
-
Would think it’s Udeh…
-
@Woodrow The most likely for sure. Would be a fantastic addition as we don’t really have that type of player at all for next year’s roster.

Oh
Yeah came here to drop Slater’s bomb… That’s going to be interesting to follow. After his gif regarding Traore its Bona/Udeh I’m guessing
