Vernon mentioned we’re looking at someone else…

So I do think they take one more player…

Any idea on who??

Actually I think it’s the guy who will commit to the football team who will walk on for basketball. Jaden Nickens is his name I believe

I think they would take a HS guy if a guy blows up in season. But getting in my opinion the second best player in the country in DP and a freak athlete who could be a developmental story in Samis is solid.

Sensational

Flory Bidunga and Zeke Mayo…you two have changed my life.

With DP in the bag, Alijah Arenas is my new most wanted realistic target.

Adidas do you have a plan for us….

Heard some good things about this one last night. Adidas + the KT relationship could get it done…

Encouraging to hear…I do think Arizona will be tough to deal with.

He has the physical tools so I don’t mind the flier.

They guarded their yard…

@jayballer67 said in Recruiting Notes:

So who’s next ? - - Tiller possible ?

Yes

@BShark Aye brother I might have to retire after this recruitment. I’m getting too old for this shit man lol

We got him!

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

I get recruiting happens - last minute changes - people drop bags but it sucks. Self has whiffs

Duke and UK (Cal most of his tenure there) - they got whoever they wanted and didn’t whiff

If Bill is that upper echelon now and “the man” in college bball - he can’t whiff in DP

Bullshit Coach K and Cal didn’t have major whiff in recruiting.

Cal was getting his ass kicked by K on the trail for like the last 8 years tbh.

@kuballin10 said in Recruiting Notes:

@TYOHawk This guys a little bit closer to us whiffing on Ayton than Williamson lol but your point still is valid

It could be hindsight but Ayton always seemed like he wanted other schools to recruit him. Some kids just aren’t enamored with KU which is crazy to us as fans. But it’s how it goes. It’s why I truly enjoy rooting for the Zeke’s, Gradey’s and CB who grew up wanting to play at KU.

I’ll also say this before anything occurs. I remember in 2019 being disappointed we didn’t land Samuell Williamson and instead took a local kid ranked in the 100s. The local kid turned out to be Christian Braun…we’ll be fine regardless.

Adidas needs to respond and get us Stokes or something bro. They need to do what they did when they helped us land Wiggins.

@TYOHawk said in Recruiting Notes:

Would be another reason for us to leave Adidas. Nike doesn’t let Adidas get their elite kids meanwhile it’s the complete opposite with Adidas

We won’t but I feel you

Bro it’s hilarious. It’s a very real possibility the top 3 kids on their circuit don’t end up at adidas schools. Peat, Peterson and Ament could all very well go Nike. This is after a class in which Karter Knox and Ian Jackson end up at Nike schools.

Now could you imagine the swoosh letting Cam Boozer, Dybantsa go somewhere else?

Thank God for the portal. Recruiting is ridiculous man

@rcjhdraft said in Recruiting Notes:

About time we got a top 5 draft pick level dude. Been a while

Need some more young NBA presence too. Also despite the rankings I think Ament is the better NBA guy long term between the two.

This is what I’ve been hinting at on the phog. Jo is 30, Wiggs is 29 and Kelly is 28. We need Gradey, Furphy and others to stand out to keep us a presence or you become UNC and the school that recruits believe can’t produce good pros.

@FarmerJayhawk Trilly gif in as well now

Was waiting on this news

Branham imo is just as good as trilly. 7 confidence CB from him is a lock. That plus Trilly is like, mega lock.

Also I’d start watching Nate Ament film. Good time to get acquainted. His recruitment will be a spring decision but KU has a couple legs up on that one.

Bill is back man…I prayed for this

Staff is working man…

Hustler Bill is back. Wants one more title before he hangs it up.

The fire is still there with him and I love it.

Staff is working man…

Coach will just have to keep it real with Rylan and AJ. They could have roles in the nba as 3 & d guys…but they’re not getting drafted by just chucking up shots.

Wagner stinks and is living off HS hype

@BShark said in Recruiting Notes:

Predictions rolling in for Sebastian Williams Adams to KU.

Music to my ears

Peterson cut his list to 4 today as well. KU, Ohio State, USC and KSU.

Dybantsa visit this week as well…

Peterson might be Coach’s next all star…that means something to me

Rumors are out that Acuff will be committing next Friday. Arkansas is the choice

Side note he’s not coming here so I can say it. But was listening to a college hoops podcast. It sounds like the going price for Dybantsa is between 3-5 million. BYU is in the lead there…

Staff watched Darryn Peterson and Alijah Arenas today at the Adidas event.

Imagine if we go from Peterson to Arenas. Sheesh.

Wing U into 2 guard U

So I was thinking about a Peterson/Kease back court next year and well

I’ve been praying for a backcourt like that. Pure bucket getters

@FarmerJayhawk said in Recruiting Notes:

Haven’t read it (I don’t subscribe) but really like where we’re at with Peterson. Sounds like the ship has sailed with Acuff

This is encouraging coming from you.

New DP update on on3

We are finally athletic again…

@BeddieKU23 said in Recruiting Notes:

Meh neither Peterson nor Acuff will be in college long enough to be the face of anything and with Acuff it sounds like Calamari and Ark pockets won the NIL war there anyway. Depending on what we are trying to spend for Peterson I’d say we are likely overspending for a year as well. Their camps clearly want a bag and nothing else matters. They don’t give a hoot about KU. I’d rather push the chips in on the best transfer options then chase these high school kids that have only 1 goal in mind. Think about both of these guys for a minute, exactly where does Peterson think he fits here with the idea to be a point guard? Doesn’t fit at all

Do you think the transfers don’t care about the bag? They are all focused on the bag or attempting to go pro. As much as guys like Gradey or CB dreamed about being at KU…they would rather be in the league. Thats the real dream for them.

@TYOHawk I don’t remember if this was shared here yet…

“In 8 years doing this, I’ve only seen one other guy come in here that plays defense at the level Rakease does. Davion Mitchell is the only other one.” -NBA Agent

That is incredibly encouraging to read man. If he locks in he could be a rafters guy. I truly believe that.
