Another offer https://247sports.com/Player/Franck-Kepnang-46055226/ Don’t expect this to really go anywhere. KU and PSA Cardinals aren’t exactly tight.
Can’t imagine getting a kid from psa as long as Bill is the coach.
Never say never you never know what Bill self can do

https://247sports.com/Player/Micawber-Etienne-46082252/
Offer might be coming here.
Looks like Bill was ahead of the curve on Isaiah Barnes. Offers flowing in now TCU, Iowa, Maryland. Iowa, Illinois, KU and Maryland expected to get OVs.

@wissox I looked at some of Barnes’ play on youtube and I must say I don’t exactly see it either. Trust in Bill I guess.

Could have picked a better AAU program to piss off tbh…

Could of already been posted just didn’t see. Read where KU ha offered top 25 Guard Langston Love. Said pure shooter , yet something to the effect really not a good distributor to others? - -something along those lines. - - Talking about how Ku hasn’t really had a pure shooter although the development of Braun , talking though about how he would be a big Addition to compliment Braun , love his toughness and how well he rebounds for his size 6’4. - Defends well and would also compliment Garrett . Some of the others involved think they said about 70 % of the Big 12 UCLA, and I think Villanova are some of the others. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Thompson is a pure shooter so the article is pure BS
-
@BeddieKU23 also Garrett wouldn’t be around to play with him so it doesn’t matter how he compliments Garrett. Don’t think we get him anyway.
-
@BShark The guard I would love to pair with Thompson potentially in 21 is Kennedy Chandler. Played with Mokan and is very good. However I think his recruitment is just not the rabbit hole KU can contend in right now.

Think KK goes to Memphis or Duke.
Sallis is definitely the top priority in 21. I’m concerned about what we’re doing up front because we’ll need at least 2 bigs and I’m not sure we’re leading for any as of today. But lots to shake out given these strange times. Info has basically dried up since nobody’s taking visits and its a long dead period.
-
Oh he’s a stud, reminds me of Ochai with the athleticism, college ready body & the shooting touch from the perimeter. Have no clue if KU can land anyone from Montverde. Seems like a school we just can’t compete with Nike for
-
I think FSU is in it for Chandler as well. I would expect he $woosh’s when its all said and done. Really liked his game and he was really good at Peach Jam playing alongside Harris & Dante.

We are pretty much not getting Kendall Brown either from what I understand. I believe he was Adidas AAU but Sunrise being funded by Nike probably killed us. Virginia is a player here despite not being listed on his 247 profile.
As for bigs like you said it’s harder to get info now. Guessing we can’t beat out OG Wade for Anselem. I just haven’t seen KU linked with many post players in 21.

I’m not super worried about the wing, though Brown is a good player. If we have Wilson, Enaruan, and Tyon we’ll be fine. Even if Tyon leaves for some reason we’ll have Braun as well. Much more concerned about bigs.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’m not worried about the wing at all just wanted to pass it along.
-
It’s worrisome but we know Bill will find some guys. Obviously we can’t go into a season with Dave and Gethro as the only bigs.

Thought you posted some time back that Brown was our’s to lose?
-
@jayballer73 We were in a strong position previously, yes.

@BShark wasn’t KU seen as the leader for Brown though for quite awhile?

And there is the offer.
-
Nothing lost by offering. Have no idea what bigs we are getting in 21 just know we need multiple guys
-
may have missed this but just curious. Do we have any interest in this kid or not, don’t remember much being said. - -Zach Clemence out of Sunrise in Wichita, 6’9 I think got him ranked as 34th, anybody got anything or is this a BIG nobody from us with no interest what so ever. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

As far as I know KU has major interest.
-
Check posts earlier in the thread. Searching for Clemence is the easiest way, stuff comes right up. Right now we don’t really know as much as we otherwise would because of the COVID situation. Guys can’t do visits, coaches can’t either etc
Post targets will become clear eventually.

ok thanks.- -wonder if the interest is mutual ?
-
Rivals had an article 2 weeks ago about Zach and KU. Since Shay wrote it I would gather he doesn’t have anything ground breaking to report there but its behind the Rivals paywall…
To kind of recap with him. KU was there when he won MVP at Hoophall in January. We were also one of the first schools to reach out as was most of the Big-12. He was at Late Night this past year.
Ohio St recently offered and he’s on their board now. They are also recruiting Kendall Brown his teammate as well.
-
New offer! I like this kid’s game a lot. Very, very skilled https://247sports.com/Player/Efton-Reid-46055252

@FarmerJayhawk looks goooood. We have a shot?

Too early to say. Need to get him on the phone with Dave and sell him on the twin towers of Virginia

His evaluation sounded like dave

Just noticed he plays for Team Loaded (same as Frank and Dave). Let’s get it done!
-
UNC offered Sallis. That could be a game changer. Also, Reid could reclassify and if he does I’m thinking UVA or Louisville.
-
sounds about right
-
@BeddieKU23 You know the drill
-
Honestly forgot we were targeting Salis. Not a sandbox we can play in.

@FarmerJayhawk does not look winnable

It looks like, as @jayballer73 astutely pointed out in the 22 thread, we’re going after a different type of guy these days. I think Bill saw what he had last year and was like OH. This could be fun.

And with OAD all but officially over with the new G League contracts it makes sense. We’ll still get our Bryce Thompson’s and others, but as far as top 10 recruits go I say steer clear. Build the bench and solidify the starting 5 with KC players and the occasional Wichita recruit, as well as adding nationwide ones such as Frank and Devonte (Gethro fitting that mold for next season).

There’s not enough local talent to keep KU competitive at a national level. KU would have to land every local player to have any chance at being competitive which isn’t going to happen as long as MoKan is the dominant AAU team in the area.
KU lands a local talent every other year on average with varying degrees of success.
KU is a national brand in basketball and with the new rules on players selling themselves, KU needs to market the exposure a potential recruit can get at KU to land top players.

Looks like we offered Dajuan Harris’s twin bro https://247sports.com/Player/Rahsool-Diggins-46056543/
