Don’t think KU ever pushed that hard.
What the hell is the staff doing at the guard spot?

Sallis is still #1 on their board for sure. Beyond that, I think they go transfer. The lack of grassroots ball this spring and summer unfortunately means a lot of guys the staff would snatch up just didn’t get discovered.
-
Yeah no way on Sallis. No aau is a bummer.

This doesn’t make much sense to me. A local kid who would be a 4 year player is they type of kid they should take in a heartbeat right now. It’s clear they can’t recruit with the big boys so Sallis is a complete pipe dream.
-
All of a sudden it seems to be a damn good thing that Jossell is still around.
-
Anyone seen Keon Coleman play basketball in person. He’s a guard I keep forgetting about from the 2021 class that’s joining us to play football and basketball
-
Pretty good chance he never makes it to KU.
-
Oh really? Why is that? Academics or being swooped up by a different school for football. I’ve always found it weird how many kids verbal declare but switch to other programs later
-
@jayhawks2010 Another school. The word from the start was that there was work to go to make sure he stayed committed to KU.
-

Color me much more optimistic here. FSU and lil Carolina are lurking but he’s a Jayhawk until he isn’t.
-
Davison called us one of his dream schools. Means we’re officially out
-
@BShark thanks for the info! Let’s hope we can keep him.
-
I hope so. I think he’s a game changer in football.

I think for optics as much as production. Kids look at the kind of recruits a place gets as a signal that it’s a good place to be. Especially in football. Basketball can be more complicated in that regard since there’s the shoe circuit albatross out there.

New JUCO offer
Not sure how serious the offer is but I can see why the staff offered. I’d be thrilled if this kid ended up at KU. Elite athlete.

That’s great and all and nothing against this kid , BUT I think we should be going full bore and more trying to scour the Nation for a PG.- -I think at this point we are much better off on frontcourt players then back. - -We NEED a PG - kind like how badly our football program needs a QB/- - I wouldn’t think a player like this would be a priority

I dig. Could very well play the 5 with Clemence or Enaruna or Wilson or TGF at the 4. Or the 4 with McCormack at the 5.

Guard is definitely the priority. Sallis is in his own tier on KU’s board. They’ll run the race with Davison as well. Beyond that, may look at transfers. I expect a lot of runoff waivers.

Yeah that would be a salty rotation. Lots of shooting at the big spots too. The staff is offering every big/forward still available but not too many guards. Makes me think they know something we don’t.
-
Not opposed to making a “strong ass offer” for Sallis, if possible.

There’s a world where Tyon (mistakenly IMO) thinks he’s a OAD, Wilson transfers or Enaruna goes pro, and all the guards come back. Lots of contingency planning.
-
Sounds like Bates wants to play early and that was a big factor.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I do think Jalen transferring after this year is pretty likely if he isn’t in the rotation this season which I don’t see why he would be in the rotation at this point.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 we’ll see what happens after this season. There’s a path to PT for him but not one that’s particularly desirable from KU’s angle. Losing both Enaruna and TGF would be a giant kick in the nads.
-
@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

Yep. KU could’ve promised him X minutes but chose not to. Not as big a push as they could’ve made. In KU’s mind he was a 4th or 5th guard type behind Harris, Thompson, Braun, and a lead guard higher on their board.

Completely agree with that assessment. Agbaji could be back to boot and I know he struggles with handling but he’d still be ahead of Bates.

Lol, " Strong Ass Offer " - -seems like I’ve heard or read a phrase like that before - -Wonder where I got that at lol
-
Well Bates to Texas, myself probably just as well and no matter what some here may think , Sounds like the kid very well might of been a Cancer. - -I know a lot of this is because of what’s been going on - - - -He makes the comment he wanted to play for a Black Coach & then commits to Texas. - - I’m good with that
-
Wilson’s brother has an offer to play fb here though.
-
Apparently KJ Adams balled out last night. I think we got a really solid one.
-
-
So, we whiffed on a few recruits. All things considered, with the NCAA hovering around since the Billy Preston days I think that the staff has recruited well. I have no doubt that we will sign another player or two. The question is who is left?
-
Long interview
-
Michael Foster cut his list and KU wasn’t on it. Not that there was ever any doubt he was going pro
-
247 dropped Clemence 29 spots now to #60. I don’t see 60 better players then him but who knows if he’ll even stick at this point
KJ at 91
-
@BeddieKU23 Baylor is trying but he is solid. Shocking that scum sucker Drew would try to get a kid to decommit…
I think the drop is bogus too, he is really good.

Langston Wilson will meet with Kansas staff by zoom at 1:30 ET TODAY

Langston is the JUCO kid right? If my memory serves me right I thought I saw where he had ~40 offers.

ya that’s him, he does have 40 offers. Yet a lot of those offers aren’t what you would call big time, got enough but I mean not flooded
Some of those offes are : Fla International , Maryland Eastern Shore , Howard , K-State , Miss Valley St , Eastern Carolina , Nicholls St , Troy , Grambling St etc.
Some of the bigger offers are : - -Arizona st , West Virginia , KU , Georgia , Memphis , Wichita State , & Maryland.
So yahe has 40 offers but wouln’t be just in awe over the amount of offers. Having said that would still take this kid in a minute, looks really athletic
-
Looking like Ayomide ends up at Memphis and should announce fairly soon.
-
Not surprised there. Tbh not sure he was KU caliber but given how recruiting has gone how picky can they be…
-
Another thing that came out of the meetings yesterday other then announcing the beginning of Basketball Season was that once again the NCAA has extended the Recruiting dead period until at least to Jan 1st of 2021. - -that is really screwing up recruiting to some extent anyways.
Also looks like KU will be playing the Champions Classic & the Wooden legacy in a bubble in Orlando from the sounds of things
-
@BShark That sucks.
-
Looks like our old friend Floor Burns is getting a big fish tonight, former KU target Harrison Ingram.
-
Just going to call it interesting that he’s landed 2 five star wings in consecutive classes now
-
Daron Holmes will cut his list to 4 soon. KU target, parents went to KU

Seems like Arizona or KU. He thinks he is a guard.
