2024 Recruiting
-
Self certainly has made the effort here. I’m not convinced he even goes college route tbh. The recent offer of Ngongba would seem to indicate some backup planning when he picks Duke
-
Bidunga nearing a decision, KU ramping up efforts on Derik Queen. There are no coincidences in recruiting.

Bossi said not too count Bill out yet.
-
Bossi says a lot of things but at the end of the day he will follow orders and play the base. Him ghosting the board after how he handled the Mgbako thing doesn’t sit the best with me.

He’s probably reclassing and will be at Duke.

Based on 2024 mock drafts, there’s a decent chance Elmarko isn’t at KU next season.

Hmm been waiting to see if they made a move on Queen. He’s really good too.

Flury’s recruitment sounds fun. LOL

so skipping College completely. That would suck

@jayballer67 No, @TYOHawk made his comment about KU’s potential backcourt in 2024-25 including Bethea, Harris, Jackson, and Morris and I replied don’t be surprised is Jackson isn’t in that group because he is a projected to be a 1st round pick in the 2024 NBA Draft by a lot of projection sites.
That doesn’t mean he won’t play at KU this upcoming season. Most projection sites have him in the back half of the 1st round which means Jackson does have work to do this season to validate that spot. It doesn’t mean Jackson will for sure be OAD, but it does mean he’s on the NBA’s radar and will be one of the primary reasons NBA scouts are coming to KU games this season.

Ya , that’s right . I forgot about this season him being here. for some reason I was thinking it was 24 he was coming in. - To early in the morning I guess
-
Ngongba is the best big in the class imo
-
I haven’t watched enough 2024 guys to have really strong views on anyone other than Flory, but keep in mind if they don’t get the top guys on their board it’s an immediate pivot to the portal to get the last of the covid year guys. The 2024 class almost without exception will get ABUSED year 1.
-
@BShark said in 2024 Recruiting:

Potential wise? Seems far behind the skill of Flury or Queen right now. Probably the biggest of the 3 and that’s never a bad thing for a KU Big. Interested to see what happens here. His top 8 was a doozy

ok, just catching up to the 2024 class news. Why does it suck so much?
-
@rockchalkjayhawk some of it is just randomness, some of it is elite players jumping up a class, some of it is covid.
-
wondered when/if the covid factor would affect recruits like this. lack of playing time, learning, coaching, etc.

Yeah just my opinion on this one.
Top 8 is absolutely insane.

https://twitter.com/HitmenScouts/status/1679634046651977728 didn’t even know we were recruiting boogie tbh
-
Well dam , I was reading that we had made the top 4 for Flory Bidunga, was getting a little excited, was reading he had a strong Adidas connection, & Ku was the only one of the 4 that was Adidas
It’sKU , Auburn , Michigan , & Duke. --Is this going to turn into a NIL bidding war ? - -was reading from on 3 that his NIL value is at 530,000 dollars. - They say they way they determine that is performance - - Influence - -& Exposure. - -Anyways hasn’t set a date but has said he would like to make a decision before the start of his Senior Season. - - So overall was gettin my hopes up a little bit when w made the final four and then - - -
Read in several of the response from the tweet that he is a DUKE lock - -dam , dam, , dam - -is that true? - -probably has anyone heard any inside on it?
-
Yeah I’m pretty sure it’s Duke. Our biggest 2024 recruit is Hunter Dickinson.
-
Amazing how they can routinely land top Adidas circuit guys…when adidas programs definitely don’t take the top Nike kids.
-
@TYOHawk with NIL it’s not nearly as much of a factor as it used to be. Flory can and will get a huge payday no matter where he lands.

Yeah it will even out a bit. Just annoying that they were able to do this before “NIL”. Even UK wasn’t plucking adidas kids like them. Even a guy like Whitehead stock bombing at Duke hasn’t hurt them.
-
I don’t think it’s possible Duke gets hurt in recruiting like other schools would in similar situations. Just seems to be the way it is.

4 star guard Jared Harris from Texas has set an official visit to KU for September 1st. #98 ranked player overall. Visiting same weekend as top guard target Jalil Bethea. Says he hears from the Jayhawks, LSU & Mississippi St the most.
*One of the more talented seniors at the two-guard spot, Jared Harris shined this past weekend at The Stage showcasing his athleticism and range from behind the three-point line. A 6-foot-2 shooting guard out of Silsbee (Texas) High, Harris played with a huge chip on his shoulder throughout Saturday which resulted in him being one of the top performers on the weekend.
“I felt I have been slept on,” Harris said. “I am trying to go for the No. 1 spot in the nation. I know I have to keep grinding.”
Kansas: “They have been showing a lot of interest. They put people in the league and that is where I am trying to go.”
Harris says a top eight list cut will not be announced until he completes his next official visit. He added that he plans on committing some time in November.*
-
Just realized Bethea’s AAU team. NEXT TARGET MOVING ON.
-
See on the Rivals in the future cast has Ku as the only prediction at like 48 %, right now that’s the only one
-
As I’ve said, it’ll be heavy portal.
-
It’ll be interesting to see who comes back next year.
Theoretically should have Juan, KJ, Dickinson and one of Jackson/Morris back. McDowell and Clemence back on the bench.
Really only room for one starter and one real bench piece right?
-
@Kcmatt7 plus we’ll only have to give up one more scholarship over the next two years so on net could add a player or two. Or none if we don’t add anyone this year. Not totally out of the realm of possibility we return 4 starters, though 3 is more likely.
We know Braun, McCullar, and Timberlake are gone. So I’d think you could add a wing starter from the portal, two bigs (one HS, one portal?), and and least one guard (sounds like HS).

Elmarko is on a lot of 2024 mock drafts as a mid to late first rounder. Decent chance he won’t be back next year.

Yeah bleacher report had him 5th in their super early mock… Definitely getting attention and imo rightfully so
-
Sounds like a week from tomorrow for Flory
-
Wow we’re gonna have the 5th pick in the draft? KU hasn’t had a pick that high since JJ at 4.

That’s the extreme high end. I’m not aware of anywhere else projecting him as a top 10 pick. But with as many mocks as there are out there that have Jackson as a 2024 1st rounder, that means he’s on NBA radars already and they will be coming to see how he stacks up and how good his playmaking abilities really are because that’s what has NBA scouts excited about Jackson the most.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 yea that’s why I said either or.

well I know some are down on Bossi , but he broke down each teams chance and basically he said he believes it’s between us an Duke-- I mean it falls in line with him being a Duke lock, but we shal see

I agree it’s high just pointing out the attention he’s getting this early and I’m not surprised in the least bit he’s on their radar. It sounds as if he’s been as advertised in the summer so far

Well sure didn’t take Marcus long to find a new landing spot. - -Read where he has committed to Gonzaga , interesting.
