Not a 2021 kid, but does Bronny spend any time in college at his current trajectory?

-
@jayballer73 Bronny James. LeBron’s kid

OH YA , chances are he will never touch a College floor

Sallis bumped to #20 overall, 5* on Rivals. Need.

Wanted him since I saw the offer. Him and SO Bryce… Mercy…
-
Bout time the rankings started noticing him
-
@BShark Not often that a player like that comes out of Nebraska. How we can get him.
-
@dylans You know, I saw some highlights of him not too long ago on ESPN. Is it just me everyone, or does he seem to be not very athletic? Maybe it was just the small sample size.
-
@Marco Freshman? Able to dunk now (he wasn’t last year). Not super impressive yet; big time name recognition though.
-
@dylans Oh, no doubt about that.
-
I like Jerrell Colbert for a 21 big
-
@BeddieKU23 We don’t appear to be in that race.

Yeah but I think its early for him too. I have no idea who the staff is actually recruiting in 21 for bigs besides Alex. It’s a major need for at least 1 big time post
-
A few others that intrigue, Adama Sanogo 6’9 C playing for the Patrick School (NJ). Just recently got eligible for them and is really solid rebounder. Originally from Mali.
At the 4 spot I would love to see them target KJ Adams, he can shoot outside and get dirty in the post. That’s if they miss on Brown.

Gotta land KB. Kinda all in there.
Don’t think we have a shot with Sanogo. From what I understand, KU will not be landing another player from Mali.

Funny how the Diallo story line went from us doing right by him and fighting for him to it just completely blowing up in our face.
-
We benched him. A top 5 player. Without living up to Self’s words about the value of playing time and experience for young players (Made after Diallo was here). I saw a comment in another thread about our ‘16 team being one of our biggest misses.
Imagine if Self just started and played Diallo 30 minutes beginning January 1? Let him learn, make mistakes, and grow as a player. Lucas was incredibly limited. And as predicted, Lucas was exposed and cost us (vs eventual champ Nova).
That decision was a fateful one.
-
If you watch Diallo now, whom I follow, he still is extremely talented, but not much improved. Sometimes doesn’t even play. He loves KU, comes back and went to Selfs HOF induction. I’m not a huge LL fan, in fact it kills me sometimes, but he has a hi bbiq. Wish we could inject that into diallo.

Yes Diallo himself likes Self/KU but he isn’t the one preventing KU from signing any future players from Mali as long as Bill is here. Kids are often not in control.
-
@BShark Don’t forget KU spent tons to get him eligible too. Others weren’t touching that.

Nike is in the human trafficking business, no doubt about it

@FarmerJayhawk It was surprising when we got Doke.

Which kind of started our problems, imo. Next came Preston and then De Sousa.

Bates got that KU offer!!!

Looks like the KC Connection is going to pay off again. Just looked at his game, and I’m impressed. If we can sign him now, do! That would leave Sallis to go elswhere, but oh well. I’m all on on signing KC and Wichita kids.
-
Heard Sallis isn’t super high on KU. Think we take Bates to play the Marcus Garrett spot and call it a day
-
@FarmerJayhawk KB, Bates and a ready to contribute big. I’d take it.
-
-
Interesting for a top 100 ish kid he doesn’t have very many offers
-

He just hit top 100. Up 32 spots in the last Rivals update.
Does seem like most of his offers are pretty local.
-
His posture kinda makes him look less assertive than you’d like, but his play is nice. I wonder if optics affected his offers. People are petty.

Well Dam I love Sallis , think a very solid player - maybe we can get him to change his mind. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Do you know why he is not high on KU?

Like a lot of Nebraska kids, grew up a dook fan

Definitely need a big. Any skinny?

@FarmerJayhawk Wasn’t T.J. Pugh the last Nebraska kid that we signed?

Kendall Brown is taking a OV to Ohio St

I’m not worried about Ohio State, but good intel. By the way, remember when they were top 5?

staff making a move for Bates after that offer? @FarmerJayhawk

Yessir

Great news. I like his game
-
-
Bill is in Wichita tonight to see Gradey Dick.
-
-
@BShark I’ve seen some hilites on sports of him, nothing to write home about. He’s young though. I’m friends w/his uncle, just saw him fri, should’ve asked him. Probably see him at another hs game. See how that’s going.
-
@FarmerJayhawk https://twitter.com/OntheRadarHoops/status/1224855186805547013
Not sure if we’ve got a shot, but definitely kicking the tires.
@Crimsonorblue22 Seems like with the NCAA crap Bill is turning into Tom Izzo in recruiting. It is a ways off from the 22 class so who knows where his rank shakes out. We all thought Frankamp would be much better meanwhile Braun has well exceeded expectations. Ochai probably somewhere in the middle at this point but his defense is very good.

Athletic kid, son of Dikembe

@BShark they did beat McPherson too. They are a lil down this yr though. Got beat 1st round of their own tourney, lol.
