2021 Recruiting
-
@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.

Sounds like Bates wants to play early and that was a big factor.
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.

@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:
Not opposed to making a “strong ass offer” for Sallis, if possible.
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.

I’m thinking Zona.
Kyrell Luc committed to Holy Cross. Never anyone KU was involved with but I think he is a real baller and I wouldn’t be surprised if he eventually transferred up.
-
Don’t know if been mentioned, But Davidson name his six: - -KU , Alabama , Auburn , Memphis , LSU , & Michigan announcing Oct 31st - - for what that’s worth. - - probably ends up at Alabama right ?

Likely auburn

Well see where we made Trey Alexanders top 7. Won’t be easy it said to get him , with Oklahoma being his home town school. Like the article says he has 3 CB’s all for Oklahoma BUT those picks like it says were made back in July - -a lot of things can change in that amount of time.
Alexander was stated saying that KU was a top choice for him - -# 62 in the Nation according to 247 , 4 * SG has no problem draining the 3 - -pull up and hit J on the break - time will tell this comes from the Spun
Other Schools in his final 7 are Oklahoma , Grambling State , Arkansas , Georgia , Auburn , & Ol Miss. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Neither Davison or Alexander is coming IMO.
-
Word is Oklahoma quit recruiting him. Okie State too but he really would prefer OU thus leaving them on the list.
@FarmerJayhawk I would be stunned by either. Davison stays in the South or does g league.

Ya I agree with you on Davison I think really the chances aren’t that great he goes College things I’ve heard - - - I’ll take the wait and see approach on Alexander. - - Not saying he will but not saying he won’t either , even that much more if indeed Oklahoma backed off of him
-
@BShark Why would OU quit recruiting him?
-
I don’t know but it sounds like KU isn’t very interested either and Arky is the favorite.

JD Davison done to Bama.

he is going to Memphis , would be very surprised if not for sure
-
UA and Nike are having a good, old fashioned auction. Davison delayed his announcement (presumably US trying to protect their house, so to speak) and now it’s back on and looking like Roll Tide
-
You’ve got to love how oblivious the NCAA is to UA and Nike lol

apparently they care about playing for a program that’s not going to be under probation.
-
Ya, you can’t tell me that this whole NCAA probe isn’t really making our recruiting suck. - -A lot of these players shying away for sure because of this , Cause you can’t tell me that a lot of these schools that we are getting beat out on is on the same level with us if it weren’t for this NCAA thing.
Now if that’s not the problem then that means our Coach’s are getting out worked , out recruited - -and if that’s is the case - -then we need to freshen up our Coach’s - - out with the old - - in with the New. Some of these asst’s need to go if that’s is what the problem is. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Kendall Brown is the only recruit this cycle I would say KU really lost to the situation and he was immediately replaced. It does suck but I don’t think it changed/changes anything with JD Davison, Hunter Sallis (Kentucky btw), Nolan Hickman etc… Never really have been able to go up against UK much in recruiting and win. Then even when it does happen it tends to backfire on KU, it’s really remarkable tbh.

Yes Brown was the only recruiter that KU lost in this cycle The ever recruiters that had Kansas on their list Was never really coming to Kansas
-
So if that’s truly the case that these recruits were never really going to come to KU ., and were thinking that this NCAA hasn’t had that big of influence on recruiting and these guys were never really coming to KU. I don’t go with that , the recruits like on 247 & Rivals they list their top 5 choices , that’s the recruit doing that NOT anyone else , that is the recruit themselves listing the schools they are most interested in.
It’s up to the School the one who is in charge of recruiting them to Sell the program - -the School If you telling me that Memphis and some of these others are on the level as KU in Basketball - -I just can’t buy that , thats just solidifies the point that I say that if that’s truly the case then some or all of our assistant coach’s aren’t getting the job done - they are not closing out on these kids.
Anyone that knows anything can’t honestly say with 100% confidence that Memphis and some of these other lesser knowns are on the same blue blood level or have had the type of success and developing players and getting them into the NBA as Ku has - not happening , no way is that true
When you have a School such as Ku and the tradition , the fans the program , a hall of fame College Coach the 2nd winningest program in the history of College Basketball , the National exposure they get when playing at KU on National TV - -just doesn’t add up. , Playing for a program that has been in the top 25 for how many consecitive weeks? - -you trying to tell me these kids don’t look at things like that? - Players who want to play against top competition - -that’s all right here. Sure the Duke’s - -The UK - -i get that who can match them on a constant basis ? – really no one , but other then that - your not selling me that other programs can offer a recruit better.
Which takes me back to this , IF the NCAA probe and possible sanctions aren’t playing a major role against us then - we have asst’s that are getting out worked in selling the program - -and if that’s the case then we need to get NEW blood in here someone that is really ready to bust their ass and get us back on a better track. We are losing out on WAY to many recruits at the present , not getting alot of looks from top elite or should say may top elite. Now we are even starting to struggle in losing battels in recruiting to some players in the 40,50,60 tier that’s NOT KU BASKETBALL ,hope they can get this fixed , tirred of seeing getting beat in recruiting, but to say these kids wern’t really ever going to come to KU or consider KU - -I call BS - again if that’s the case - -then time for change with some asst’s. – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Kentucky will always out recruit KU with Cal and Nike. It’s just how it is. They wanted Nolan Hickman so they took him. It sucks. They will get Hunter Sallis as well.
