2021 Recruiting

If you watch Diallo now, whom I follow, he still is extremely talented, but not much improved. Sometimes doesn’t even play. He loves KU, comes back and went to Selfs HOF induction. I’m not a huge LL fan, in fact it kills me sometimes, but he has a hi bbiq. Wish we could inject that into diallo.

Yes Diallo himself likes Self/KU but he isn’t the one preventing KU from signing any future players from Mali as long as Bill is here. Kids are often not in control.
-
@BShark Don’t forget KU spent tons to get him eligible too. Others weren’t touching that.

Nike is in the human trafficking business, no doubt about it

@FarmerJayhawk It was surprising when we got Doke.

Which kind of started our problems, imo. Next came Preston and then De Sousa.

Bates got that KU offer!!!

Looks like the KC Connection is going to pay off again. Just looked at his game, and I’m impressed. If we can sign him now, do! That would leave Sallis to go elswhere, but oh well. I’m all on on signing KC and Wichita kids.
-
Heard Sallis isn’t super high on KU. Think we take Bates to play the Marcus Garrett spot and call it a day
-
@FarmerJayhawk KB, Bates and a ready to contribute big. I’d take it.
-
-
Interesting for a top 100 ish kid he doesn’t have very many offers

He just hit top 100. Up 32 spots in the last Rivals update.
Does seem like most of his offers are pretty local.
-
His posture kinda makes him look less assertive than you’d like, but his play is nice. I wonder if optics affected his offers. People are petty.

Well Dam I love Sallis , think a very solid player - maybe we can get him to change his mind. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Do you know why he is not high on KU?

Like a lot of Nebraska kids, grew up a dook fan

Definitely need a big. Any skinny?

@FarmerJayhawk Wasn’t T.J. Pugh the last Nebraska kid that we signed?

Kendall Brown is taking a OV to Ohio St

I’m not worried about Ohio State, but good intel. By the way, remember when they were top 5?

staff making a move for Bates after that offer? @FarmerJayhawk

Yessir
-
Great news. I like his game
-
-
Bill is in Wichita tonight to see Gradey Dick.
-
-
@BShark I’ve seen some hilites on sports of him, nothing to write home about. He’s young though. I’m friends w/his uncle, just saw him fri, should’ve asked him. Probably see him at another hs game. See how that’s going.

Not sure if we’ve got a shot, but definitely kicking the tires.
@Crimsonorblue22 Seems like with the NCAA crap Bill is turning into Tom Izzo in recruiting. It is a ways off from the 22 class so who knows where his rank shakes out. We all thought Frankamp would be much better meanwhile Braun has well exceeded expectations. Ochai probably somewhere in the middle at this point but his defense is very good.

Athletic kid, son of Dikembe
-
@BShark they did beat McPherson too. They are a lil down this yr though. Got beat 1st round of their own tourney, lol.
-
Well Zion was here for his visit and was in attendance for the game with Texas, showed a picture of him watching the game. - - - Said KU has made him a top priority. - -Taking his ACT on the 8th of Feb, sure sounds like if he passes he will be re-classifying. Talked about how Self told hi he Actually thought he was the best guard in the class - - hmmmmm.
Sounds like he really likes KU I dunno , we shall see. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
-
@FarmerJayhawk had to do it.
Markell Hood is taking a prep year and will be in the 21 class now. Hoping to play his way into better offers of course.
-
Zach Clemence wants to play in the big 12. Hope it’s for the good guys.

I suspect we’ll send Norm down to Sunrise to offer at some point. Need to check in on Brown while we’re at it.
-
@FarmerJayhawk his jump shot is really concerning but I still hope he ends up at KU.
As for Clemence he is really smooth. Going to be a good four year player wherever he ends up.
-
Bates was at the game Monday
-
Boom, that’s great news
-
Also sounds like PG is the least of our concern in '21 recruiting. Harris has been really good according to Self.
-
-
@BeddieKU23 in yesterday’s presser. I think he’s really going to show out next year and could see him playing starter’s minutes.
-
Recently I went back through his film. He is going to surprise folks. I really like what he could become in time.

Noticed we aren’t going after any. Bates is a do it all guard, then wings and bigs.
Re Bates: things could progress rapidly here. Look for something soon, not necessarily a commitment maybe just a list cut at this point but soon.

Seems to be conflicting reports , cause that’s sure not what I’m hearing. - -I heard that they are all over Zion making him a priority
-
@jayballer73 KU isn’t really recruiting Zion Harmon. Seton Hall or Maryland. I’ll eat my hat if he ends up at KU. He might not play a second of college ball period.

Not trying to start conflict BUT that’s really weird that coming of sports sites they say that Coach Self has told him that he is they’re top priority and Saying he is probably the best guard coming in and then others like yourself saying they not even recruiting him - - hmmmm why would they say something like that if not true ? - -personally I could give a rats ass cause I think we are already set , just simply passing along information I have seen elsewhere

@jayballer73 Ask the sage @FarmerJayhawk
