Not expecting any issues here. The only big miss was not getting a PG. Aside from that, recruiting went about as well as we could hope for.
-
Hopefully there will be some options in the spring when he knows what he really needs to get going into 21. Right now the cupboard looks bare for options
-
How about this Jonas Aidoo ? - -Any thoughts on him ? - -you think there is any possible chance we could land him ? - -looks solid only really true blue blood like the article says that on his final 10… Might be one of those cases where we get in on the non rated 3 star that could go to 4 star and in top 100 that would be a real jewel in the rough.

“The potential growth of both prospects during their time in Lawrence will be exciting to see. However, they might not be the only frontcourt members of this class as the Jayhawks are in the mix to receive a commitment from four-star late-blooming big man Jonas Aidoo.”

They offered so assume some interest.
KU is very interested and in fairly good. The staff would also love to get Mac Etienne but that is not happening. Once he announces (Ill or Miami?) then I think Aidoo is the top target at the 5.
That would really make for a solid front court going forward. 3 modern bigs in Aidoo, Clemence and Muscadin.

Ya I have heard we in the mix anyways. I don’t know but for some reason I think if we were or could get him to commit i think he could be a pretty good player in time pretty solid on the inside defensively from what I heard rim protector and has some game to him seen some highlights- - but as we know they are hughlights - I just get this feel he would be a nice pick uyp

Notable hoops blue blood Nebraska picking up a commitment from a kid Friday that “wanted to go to a blueblood”.

A business decision to finish 10th in the Big 10
-
Fully agree on him being a good pickup. Self would have a lot of post options next season and to develop for the future.
-
Believe Clemence will sign Saturday since his teammate is Signing with Baylor on the same day.
Adams signed last night! Yay. Listed at 6’7, his hair tops him out at 6’10
Hunter Salis won’t sign early. Glimmer of hope there, albeit a spec.

All Sunrise kids are signing Saturday I believe.

You know keep seeing more & more about Jonas Aidoo and the mentioning of KU on other sites. - - 247 was evaluating the Big 12 Early Signing and they were talking about KU and Aidoo possibly signing with KU possibly - -him or saying that if KU could get either him or Mac Etienne , I think our chances are a lot better with Aidoo though - -again if that should happen I think would be solid.
then they were talking about Back Court help and talking about Hunter Sallis - -which I know guys we all agree don’t think there is a snowballs chance in hell of that happening , - -But here is a Name I guess we have been recruiting hadn’t heard - -talking about the possibility of Brandin Podziemski - KU currently -Ranked # 34 in the Nation in recruiting and saying if KU could land either Sallis or Podziemski that could put KU in the top 10 for recruiting - -maybe some hope - -if we could get Aidoo AND Podziemski - -would be a really solid class. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Clemence has signed.

“We’ve got two versatile players in Zach and KJ,” Self said. “Both will be very good players for us. They will be impact players for us immediately. We look forward to winning a lot of games with both of them.”
-
Now if we can get Cuffe and maybe a legit grad transfer, I’ll be thrilled.
-
I want Aidoo and Cuffe.
-
@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

I’m with you buddy. Would be a very nice way to fill out the class - we can always hope. I’m afraid just get this feel that Cuffe will end up at St Johns as I think they said his dad went there, family has a pretty strong say. Could be wrong hope I am

I would be very happy with that 4 man class

Made Sallis’s final 8: KU, UK, UNC, Oregon, Creighton, ISU, UCLA, Gonzaga. Don’t think we’re much more than window dressing at this point.

Sounds like the NCAA thing screwed KU a bit there, according to Bossi.

that makes two of us. Actually I’m really surprised that he hasn’t come out and siad he was going to Kentucky by now. It was my understanding from everything i had been hearing that he was pretty much gift wrapped to go to Kentucky - -if not there then North Carolina

We’re officially out on Mac Etienne. UCLA, Illinois, Marquette, Miami.

Been out from the sound of it, your wording reads that way too. Now I imagine Aidoo becomes the absolute top target.

I think that’s right. Also expect them to be active in the transfer market given likely immediate eligibility for everyone and the lack of evals for HS kids.

ABSOLUTE DUNKING MACHINE. A BIG ROUND MOUND OF PAIN.

“Great kid works extremely hard, obviously extremely talented,” head coach Kyle Smithpeters said. “As we refer to him, he’s a version of Ben Wallace. He just plays extremely hard, rebounds outside of his area, obviously, a presence offensively, defensively. I find it hard to believe there’s too many better prospects in the country than Sydney Curry being 19 years old and looking the way he does and as athletic as he is and the way he moves. He presents a lot of intangibles and tools that most people at his age don’t have.”
-
After landing two forwards in the class during the early signing period, the Jayhawks moved their focus to landing a more traditional big man who could help to bang and compete on the low block, and they did that in the junior college ranks with Curry.
Since getting to John A. Logan Community College, Curry has transformed his body, gotten more mobile and more athletic which has helped him to compete at a higher level and also produce very well.

"Just talked with new #KUbball commitment Sydney Curry… He said he’s known since June he was coming to Kansas but wanted to wait until the season rolled around to announce it.
“It was a no-brainer," he said. “Coach Bill Self and the program speak for themselves.””

Some good quotes in here!

Hope he works out here.
Definitely a traditional big.

I think it will, Bill will love the way he rebounds and blocks. He claims to be 6’9’’ now, so maybe he is 6’8’’

Just worried Recruiting juco’s points to an overall talent decline coming through the program. There’s no way around the downturn we’ve seen
-
@BeddieKU23 I actually like this class a lot. Last year was concerning but might work out. Overall I think we will see college hoops with less talent going forward.

Agree. Love the class. Just pointing out there’s been a clear change in how they can recruit
-
Definitely handcuffed right now. The good thing is Self is a pretty good evaluator.

Tbh Curry might be better than the bigs we’ve thrown out so far today. But really, I don’t know his academic situation but ideally we could get him mid-year.

Seems to be doing well in JUCO but grades are the reason he is there. He likes to rebound, which we kinda need.

Looking like Aidoo ends up at Marquette, who is likely out for Etienne.
