MJ Rice announcing Tuesday Not much to get excited about here I don’t think. Don’t think were really that much of a factor
-
Ooooops , my mistake On Rice - -retraction time, guess I wasn’t thinking straight - - to early on a Sunday - my bad - -stay tuned Tuesday lol. CB’S say either NC State ( Probably ) - - or pro , but keeping fingers crossed- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Soooo I would pay attention to Rice. Think KU and Pitt are the ones to watch, with the G League also on the table.
-
@FarmerJayhawk yup
NIL is looking like a game changer.

So it looked like NC State was suppose to be the leader for awhile. What happened there, they cool off ?

They’ve been burned badly on guys that eventually went pro so Big Brain Keatts has finally learned his lesson
-
Pitt? no way. Feels like G-League unfortunately

So honest sincere question here Farmer. - Is Rice that talented to consider G-League right out of high school? I’ve heard alot of good things about him , must be pretty good if he is one of these players that’s considering that.
He is announcing tomorrow. - -The guy from Zagsblog Zagoria is predicting KU would be cool if we can get him on Campus & committed even if IT IS for one year

I think so. The other league (I forget the name) could be an option if the G League falls through.

Thank you. Ya after I posted that , I read that from another site. Yet greatly appreciated

So do we think we have ANY SHOT at all to being able to get Livingston to commit to KU ? - -slim to none ?

Don’t think this makes sense from a fit perspective with Dick and (likely) Rice on board. That’s a lot of guys for the 3/4, then you likely still have Braun and KJ as well.

Ya I reckon your right, hadn’t really thought that strong I guess but really doesn’t fit huh - -kid can flat go though

Looks like Memphis is in there really strong with Livingston. Agree he is extremely athletic.

It is official mj rice has committed to Kansas

Dopeski. Is he going to play for Kansas, though?

Interesting. Not holding my breathe on him playing here just yet. We’ll see. If he does that’s a big time pickup. Hope our NIL game is strong

Yeah. It’s possible college or maybe overseas end up being his only real offers. Not exactly a fit for the NBA. Overtime in play.

Watching MJ Rice, I see a lot of Wayne Selden in his game right now. Very athletic, can shoot a bit, but needs improvement there, handle is adequate, but not as tight as it needs to be. He has a good nose for the ball and could be a high level defender if he commits to that end because of his athleticism. He’s strong and he’s a worker, but some of the plays he makes now with his strength are not going to work in college when he faces that next level of strength and development. He’s a good rebounder for his size, to the point I almost just want to say he’s a good rebounder.
His shot is going to need some work. He’s a bit of a slow load on the shot, which won’t work at the college level. I can’t tell if that’s just him not being 100% comfortable with his mechanics, or if it’s something else. I need to watch him some more on that.
His handle is the other issue. He can’t really create on his own right now because his handle is behind his athleticism. He can’t be as quick as he would like to be because he isn’t as good a ball handler as he needs to be. He’s not a bad ball handler, but he’s probably not a secondary ball handler at this point. He’s strictly a wing right now.
I’d put him as a Wayne Selden with pre-injury athleticism, and a bit of Mario Little added in from a strength standpoint.
-
Billy McKnight being the head coach at Prolific Prep again is a positive for KU here.
-
@justanotherfan Agree. Strong write-up. I think Self is gonna have to play him at the 3-4. Some very fun potential line-ups with two points, Dick, Rice and Zuby.
-
I hope he follows through with playing for Bill but with the ever changing landscape who knows. The 22 class is certainly trending towards immediate talent infusion and guys that can impact in year 1
-
How are we looking on Mark Mitchell?

He isn’t really even talking to KU anymore.
-
Jayhawkslant @Jayhawkslant 1m just talked to elite small forward and #kubball comment @mjrice_1. He’s not thinking about the pros.he ready to get to Kansas and get to work.
-
@BShark Bummer
-
Great nab. Dick has a smooth game and good handles, can play inside and out - they can play together. I read one article, the guy pretty much comparing Rice to Mark Vital. I could live with that. Thoughts?
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich imo once we signed Dick and Zuby the Mitchell train - if ever there was one - pretty much left the station.
-
MJ Rice looks like another Seldon/Grimes/Andrew White. Big, thick guards who may or may not also be explosive. Tough to tell if guys like this will be a success because they use their size so well in high school.

Good points. The article pretty much implied that he is a great rebounder with a nose for the ball, a Vital-like undersized power forward. I think that he is going to play for us, he wants to go to college for a year. NIL is a game changer.

The good thing about Rice compared to Grimes is he doesn’t think he is a PG.
-
Also, Bill knows with Mitchell and isn’t bothering or wasting any time with it. So nothing to worry about there.
-
Watching a few videos of him now, I’d say 70% Selden, 30% Vital. So basically Charles Barkley (joking).
