2020 Recruiting

 Theory: Nike knows it is under the microscope so now it has to spread the love around a little more and not just Duke, UK, UNC, Oregon, and LSU…

I never gave it thought he wasnt going anywhere but a blue blood so this is surprising

 @BShark is he being sarcastic there? I honestly can’t tell what Slater is trying to say…

 So Question , wondering what would be so wrong with us trying to get back involved with Zach Harvey? - -kid from Topeka/well was from Topeka. - He had that incident with pics and sending texts or something - but that’s all over with now right? - What would be so wrong with trying to pick that back up again # 39 in the class of 2020 – just curious. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

 Reminder: 2020 unlike 18 and 19 is a LOADED class. Let’s make it a big one Bill. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Yes ,you are right 2020 is definitely a loaded class, lots of talent

 Sounds like Okie Lite is going to hire Cade Cunningham’s brother as an assistant.

 @FarmerJayhawk that stinks! For a year?

 KU has recently offered and looks to be recruiting Top 50 PG Karim Mane of Canada. A 6’5 PG might fit the combo mold Self likes to recruit. Will be one to monitor

 @BShark heard he was a videographer for Tulane?

 https://247sports.com/Season/2020-Basketball/RecruitRankings/?InstitutionGroup=HighSchool New 2020 player rankings. Bryce Thompson jumped all the way up to #19!! Jumped 70 spots. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @Woodrow He’s really freaking good. Bill needs to close this one. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Yeah Bryce is definitely a hooper 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Really seems like he made that jump from last yr. I think showing he can play PG with his scoring ability has changed his ceiling 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 Who thought that Thompson would jump that high? I sure the hell didn’t. But I have always liked Thompson and hope that we can sign him, maybe get him, Berry and a guy like Xavier Foster come November - get 'em wrapped early. Going to be real tough - if not close to impossible - to get Foster out of Iowa, though. Isaiah Cottrell, Kyree Walker, Bryce Thompson and Ty Berry? I’d take that in a heartbeat. If that class were to somehow fall in place we would still need one more big.

 If Duke came calling, Foster would teleport out of Iowa.

 @Marco I wouldn’t put any stock into those %. Those are based off of people’s picks. What happens is people go in and log a pick and might have been a year ago and then a school stops recruiting him and people don’t change their picks. Those % are worthless until about a month or so before someone announces.

 @Woodrow yep All those Harvey picks are super old and I believe KU stopped recruiting him.

Those % are worthless until about a month or so before someone announces. the only way those% change is if someone makes another prediction - -these picks are suppose to be coming from people that follow these kids around the circuts - talk to them almost daily - and some of these guys just follow another lead - about the only legit one’s I pay attention to is Evan Daniels - - Jerry Meyer - - & Eric Bossi - - & Andrew slater - they are usually pretty legit - -the rest just usually piggy back off those 4

 What do you guys think of Isaiah Cottrell? Seems, if we sign him, to be an immediate contributor - not a star - who will work hard.

 Marco said: What do you guys think of Isaiah Cottrell? Seems, if we sign him, to be an immediate contributor - not a star - who will work hard. Program guy. Going to need more in that class. Dream 2020 class, assuming Dotson and Silvio go pro, and we land Wilson, Walker, and Bilau: Daishen Nix, Makur Maker, and Bryce Thompson. So the starting lineup would look something like Nix, Walker, Agbaji, Wilson, Maker. That team could play stupid, stupid fast. 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @FarmerJayhawk That is one hefty recruiting class. If we signed all five of those guys you certainly wouldn’t hear me bitching, Lol 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @FarmerJayhawk Maker at the 5, Bilau 4, Walker a 3, Nix the 1 and Thompson the 2 - not too shabby…!

I think our 2020 class is going to be loaded. Alot of great depth in that class overall from top to bottom. A team could sign 5 players at the bottom of that list and stiil have themselves a great recruiting class.

Really talented kid. Plus athlete, really good scorer. I don’t think he can run the point full time yet, but he’d be a nice complement to Nix, who’s more of a traditional PG. Self would love him. He’s a terrific penetrator and has a really good handle. His jumper is streaky but some of that is probably just from his lack of a good S&C program.

 @FarmerJayhawk kind of like Sherron Collins but bigger?

 ku has offer five-star jr caleb love on his unofficial visit today

 Isiah Cottrell is trending to West Virginia. Wonder what that’s about 
 
- 
					
					
					
					
 @BeddieKU23 Money probably. But he has ties to every main contending school on his list except KU. I believe he is from the WVU area originally. Still has family there.

 @BeddieKU23 I know KU was in there pretty good and I was hoping he would be a Jayhawk. Still pretty early but obviously something cause that CB train.

I agree he would have been a solid option for KU as well. We know we are going to need bigs.
