2020 Recruiting
-
Love, Nix and Thompson are all immediate starters period. Not saying we get them but they are all started level and Bill will try. Love is a game changer imo, would be thrilled to land him we need size. Garrett is an emergency pg.
-
@BShark Oh, we’ll get Thompson who is bigtime but he is not a point guard. Only trying to be realistic. Nix and Love are not - but if they do I’ll celebrate with a bonfire/rib grill/keg party and invite all of you - going to sign with us. Personally, I’m fine with our signing of Harris rather than waiting for Nix or Love.
-
I think Harris and McBride are federal good year three and just shredding year 4. There will be a development curve with them as they adjust to the speed and physicality of this level.
@Marco UNC leads for Thompson
-
@BShark Then we need to go full court press and hire his dad. UNC who? Hey, if we can get Love I would be ecstatic, just don’t think we will. Will Love sign thinking that for sure McBride and Harris will need a two-year learning curve? Not to mention Garrett, that’s all I’m saying.
-
I think Walker goes to college. When/where still TBD.
We’re going to need bodies too. Could lose 6 guys from this year’s roster. I really like Harris but he won’t be a KU caliber starter for 2-3 years. I’m not sure what we have in McBride yet. He’s never been a distributor really. Need 2 more guards to bridge us to upperclassmen Harris and McBride. I could also see one of Wilson/Enaruna as our starting 4 next year, so that opens up a spot at the wing for a different guy.
-
@FarmerJayhawk dot silvio doke mitch ochai moss being the possible 6? Agree it still needs to be a big class with immediate talent.
-
@BShark yessir. Possibly whole starting 5 plus Mitch.
-
I think that Enaruna and Wilson will from time to time play both forward positions. Try to sign Thompson, Todd and Garcia for sure, and whatever others.
-
Mentioned this in an update in the target thread but Cam’ron Fletcher cut KU. What a brief time it was, literally just offered him.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Sign him and it might bode well for us being able to get Garcia.
-

SO McBride and RS FR/SO Harris as the only point options is an NIT recipe but Self is so good he would make the NCAAT somehow. Honestly in that spot maybe Garrett starts at pg, really don’t wanna see it.
Scary stuff right there. Reminds me to live in the moment and enjoy next year. The following one could be rough as a $2 handy if no top shelf talent signs.
-
Idk if Self is playing the recruiting game super safe or if the FBI/NCAA witch hunt has been killing us. Still pissed they have just decided not to even look at Dook after we knew what Zion wanted and Wendell Carters name was several lists of guys that got money. Makes me not want to watch my favorite sport. It seems pretty logical that if are giving guys ranked in the 60s and higher stuff, that the Dooks, UNCs and Kentucky’s of the world must be paying for the multiple top 25 guys they get every year.
-
That was a quick recruitment for Harris. KU did a good job here.

This is how I see it. Would have to be a miracle like Scottie Barnes to take a wing.

I think that we could skate with those two running PG.
It’s those two running PG with the rest of that roster that is terrifying…
Bill absolutely needs to go find someone who’s a walking bucket or else the 2020-2021 season looks like it’s going to be rough.

We would need some rapid development from Tristan and Wilson. I think we really need to add a big like Todd or Garcia. Both in a dream world.

Absolutely need size. No disagreement there. Need a new project C too, imo.
-
My dream class is still Nix, Thompson, Todd, Sissoko, and Jacob Love. I think all those guards can actually play together since both Nix and Thompson are around 6’5. So your lineup would be Nix, Thompson, Garrett, Todd, McCormack. Main rotation guys are Love, Harris, Wilson, and Enaruna. HAVE SOME
-
Offered 2021 Kendall Brown. Have a real good shot here from the looks of it.
-
Brown also described Kansas as his “dream school” Friday and spoke about what he likes about Kansas.
“Pretty much everything,” said Brown. “We went down there for a tournament in second grade and I just loved the place and everything about it.”
“He played there as a second grader and ever since, KU was where he wanted to go,” Brown’s father, Courtney told ZAGSBLOG. In terms of what he’s looking for in a school, Brown said he’s prioritizing “the coaches and style of play”.
Close here Bill.

Any inside info? How good is the guy?
-
Hadn’t really heard of him or seen him play yet @Marco He’s on my radar now. He’s going down to Sunrise so he will have a lot of exposure going forward. He has to have some kind of game to be a top 50 recruit as a JR. Feelings seem mixed on him. Rivals has him as a top 20 guy but 247 bumped him down to 45 in their last update 8 days ago. I don’t think Rivals has updated yet so he may drop there too. One bad tournament will do that and with the new schedule there aren’t nearly as many chances for coaches to evaluate. I trust Bill when it comes to evals for the most part.
Could he commit today I couldn’t tell you. Keep in mind we have Tre White committed at his position and he is likely to reclass and move up into the same class as Brown.
-
This kid can flat out play!
-
Brown looks like a 4 to me. He’s a freak athlete, but he is so raw offensively I couldn’t imagine him playing guard.
Tre White looks like a guard to me though. Much more fluid. Better form on his shot. Better handles.
But we’ll see.

So is my boy Kyree just TOTALLY removed from our recruiting efforts? - -ya I heard that supposedly talk about him going over sea’s but just curious - -I know he is refuting that saying he hadn’t said that.
Has anyone heard if Coach has just backed totally away? - -the kid is an animal - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know I’d love to have him end up at KU, but this overseas smoke concerns me.

actually I hadn’t heard A THING until here - -then I read the article where he said he wasn’t doing that
-
@jayballer73 that article was in response to the rumors he had a deal in place to play in China. So the smoke has been around for several weeks. Whether there is any substance is up in the air. Hopefully Bill has the roster filled out with quality players long before we have to deal with that drama. (I’m a dreamer, I know)

Overrated (clap clap clap lap clap). As a general rule, I’d prefer we didn’t offer guys my height, 5’8 on a good day.
-
-
Yea I’m torn. We’ve seen Frank, Ulis, Harper and Edwards all do well despite their size.
His brother plays D1 ball too, at a small school, but he’s done okay considering he’s probably about the same height.
I admit, it’s pretty hard to get a read on how a short guy’s game will translate to this level.
-
@Kcmatt7 True. Ulis is the closest to Harmon’s size, and is a true PG where Harmon is definitely more of a combo at this point. Frank was too when Townsend saw him first, but was also a freak athlete and a couple inches taller. Edwards is a good comp. Harmon isn’t the shot maker Edwards is, but there’s a time component to that.

How is it that ol sweaty/stumpy keeps getting these kids to commit AFTER the NCAA is all up in their a - - - I would think they gonna be getting hit - - and hit hard BUT yet doesn’t seem t be effecting their recruiting - -hell were not even sure ol stumpy will be keeping his job. - - - Terry committed to them what the hell? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Caleb Love has been really good at Team USA camp and is really coming along as a PG. He’ll cut his list this week and KU is certainly in as good a spot as anyone.
-
Well I’ll discuss this topic a little more , I know I’ve talked about this multiple times so I apologize.
Just read where Kyree is close to making his decision about re-classifying to 2019 OR staying in 2020. I know seems to be a lot of discussion about Kyree jumping and going over sea’s most think it’s a done deal or a lot of people think that way. - -Kyree on the other hand is denying that - I wouldn’t want to bet on it one way or another.
People know how much I like Kyree. - -Kid is a beast - - has no position can play 1-4 probably so they say anyways - massive hops. - -So anyways obviously if KU still has interest then obviously we have to have him stay in the class of 2020 right? - -as we have no more spots available for 2019. - -So let me ask IF he does stay in 2020 - we still recruit him hard right? – or do we just say Blah on the assumption he is a done deal for over sea’s ?
I think you have to attack him hard - -we could for sure use him big time - I would love to have him. - -What would you do/say? - -What you think Coach will do? - - I want him - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Kyree lost me at overseas
-
I don’t think coach is recruiting him much at all, unless he chooses to go to college (2020) and just begs for KU to sign him - which he won’t. We’re going to lose some players after this season, but will still have plenty coming back and our 2020 recruiting class I think has a chance to be pretty bigtime.
-
As of today Kyree is staying in 2020

Well IF we were to still want to recruit him - - we would obviously want him to stay in 2020 - -I would still take him obviously - - I seriously can’t believe that Coach wouldn’t want to recruit him in 2020 - -I think we if he does stay in 2020 were going to still recruit - -again the kid is good - -real good

Daishen Nix’s Guardian said he will take an official visit to KU and UK in the coming weeks. Nix officially visited Maryland last year.
His Guardian is a former assistant to Jerry Tarkanian.
Being touted as the best passer in High School, being compared to Jason Kidd at same stage.
No shoe affiliation. Going to be a weird one or normal, the lines are so blurred no idea what’s normal in bball recruiting anymore

Sounds like he’ll be an early commit wherever he goes.
