 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.

 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

 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 think we have a great shot there. KU, OU, UNC his top 3. He’ll be a fall signee

 Great news

 @FarmerJayhawk I tried to figure out what LFK meant for like a minute before finally giving up and searching the acronym via google. Maybe it’s because you seem wholesome, and swearing doesn’t bother me at all, but I was not expecting it to be what it was, even though it was very obvious. Anyway… carry on.
