Iām with you buddy. Would be a very nice way to fill out the class - we can always hope. Iām 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

Made Sallisās final 8: KU, UK, UNC, Oregon, Creighton, ISU, UCLA, Gonzaga. Donāt think weāre 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 Iām really surprised that he hasnāt 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

Weāre 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 thatās 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.

āGreat kid works extremely hard, obviously extremely talented,ā head coach Kyle Smithpeters said. āAs we refer to him, heās 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 thereās 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 donāt have.ā
-
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 Curryā¦ He said heās known since June he was coming to Kansas but wanted to wait until the season rolled around to announce it.
āIt was a no-brainer," he said. āCoach Bill Self and the program speak for themselves.āā

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 6ā9āā now, so maybe he is 6ā8āā

Just worried Recruiting jucoās points to an overall talent decline coming through the program. Thereās no way around the downturn weāve 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 thereās 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 weāve thrown out so far today. But really, I donāt 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: āTheyāve been telling me just to come in and I will have the ball in my hands right away. They donāt have a point guard right now as you can see. They need a point guard really bad and Iām close with coach [Kurtis] Townsend so thatās a good relationship.ā

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 donāt, 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 Isaacās would start and play 30 minutes a game next year so thatās 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. Heās at Wasatch where Kurtis has strong connections so it would be nice to not get blind-sided on another Wasatch kidā¦
The staff wants a PG for next year pretty badly, even with Harris being solid. They donāt really view Bryce as a PG.
-
So KU is in his top 4
-

Yeah Iām calling him mini-Dok.
-
Bossiās comment on Isaacs has me even more excitedā¦

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
-
@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

he would be in the 2022 class right ? - -We donāt have anymore room in 21 I donāt think do we ?
-
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:

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.

ya true. ā -If they want someone bad enough - -they find room kinda ask nicely politely for someone that they might be better off transferring to another school - -kind of push them out, - not really very nice , but it happens at a lot of schools a lot of the timeā¦
The question becomes is there any mutual interest I wonder on his end of things ? - - I noticed in his 247 composite that KU wasnāt listed as one of his top 5 Schools of interest. - So how much interest does HE HAVE in KU ? - If there is mutual interest what kind of chance do you think we would have ? Plus wonder if he would seriously consider Re Classification ?
-
Itās alphabetical with every team listed as cool. KU is in deep, however.
I posted bits from this earlier but basically they are selling him on immediately starting at PG and have a great relationship with his dad that goes back many years.
