2021 Recruiting
-
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.

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.

Bummer but Curry has some serious muscle and bounce to him and probably sees the court earlier then Aidoo

Yes and yes. Throwing the kitchen sink at him.
Kansas: “They’ve been telling me just to come in and I will have the ball in my hands right away. They don’t have a point guard right now as you can see. They need a point guard really bad and I’m close with coach [Kurtis] Townsend so that’s a good relationship.”

Thanks sounds promising. Interested to see if the emergence of Harris becomes a thing or something the staff can still recruit the position with hey we got an open spot

There would have been a lot of overlap with Gethro and Aidoo imo. Curry definitely offers something our other bigs don’t, he looks immovable. Zach is an elite shooter so Curry will be the only true non-shooting big.
-
True. Curry looks like a smaller Doke from size, power, bounce

Yeah Isaac’s would start and play 30 minutes a game next year so that’s a non-issue. He is 22 but KU wants him to reclass. His top 4 (not official but the main players right now) is an even Nike/Adidas split lol. He’s at Wasatch where Kurtis has strong connections so it would be nice to not get blind-sided on another Wasatch kid…
The staff wants a PG for next year pretty badly, even with Harris being solid. They don’t really view Bryce as a PG.
-
So KU is in his top 4
-

Yeah I’m calling him mini-Dok.
-
Bossi’s comment on Isaacs has me even more excited…
-
42% from three on over 200 attempts as a SO.
-
@BShark wow
-
Reminded me of Devonte with the confident jumper. They look similar athletically. Can see the appeal

he would be in the 2022 class right ? - -We don’t have anymore room in 21 I don’t think do we ?
-

Yeah, my first thought actually. His shooting splits are quite nice and overall stats solid too.
@jayballer67 staff wants him in 21. Room would be made, if needed.
