2024 Recruiting
-
Lots of players who played at a higher level will enter the portal after NCAAT. Perhaps a better caliber player. It will be interesting to see, especially Liam.
-
Guess Zona was willing to pay his ridiculous price. Good talent but have a feeling they overpaid as well

Joson Sanon to Arizona.
Man , and things just keep getting better and better. - -I know there was at least a little more then medium interest, seems like we just keep coming up missing lately.
He’s a 3 and with Furphy likely coming back and Liam McNeely still likely, we’ll be fine at the 3 next year.

His price was such that you could get a proven player in the portal for the same price or less. Indiana and KU both said no thank you.

ya, your probably right. I agree with you on Furphy , just not feelin it as much with Mcneely now as I was

Watching a few minutes of Bidunga in the McDs practice scrimmage.
Only saw a few runs up and down the floor. Very springy! Left handed. Quick up the floor. Doesn’t have traditional big man size. At least not compared to a few other guys on the floor.

Legit rim defender , very athletic-- - -still work in progress on offensive but improving
-
Definitely not as tall as some but will play bigger due to athleticism, has some advanced 2nd jump ability to him, “that bounce” you can’t teach.
Definitely a slate to work with here. Not an OAD and hope we can develop him
-
I see off 247 that Ku picked up another CB prediction for McNeely – -gives them 3 , threw me off at first also saw that had KU @ 60% & Indiana @ 40 % for him - -First I thought well wait, Indiana is who he just de-committed from, ten realized he could always change his mind and still go back I guess- don’t think so but could.
For me though one of those CB’S was predicted by Swain , and his confidence level has really dropped–he did have a 6- - -now he listed down to a 1- -Tells me Swain is not thinking he lands here now.- Pretty telling for me anyways, the other 2 CB’S are from Maryland guys, projecting him coming to KU

Flory is frickin’ fast

Has a couple of nice flush’s – -block and ya gets up the floor
-
Not the best start for Liam
-
@rcjhdraft he’s use to a controlled game. You pass it u aren’t getting it back.
-
@Texas-Hawk-10 Hope he picks up defensive positioning and the offense quick enough that he doesn’t get the quick hook all year
-
It probably won’t matter but we really tried here on the first go round https://x.com/jeffborzello/status/1778139715016827117?s=46&t=c0LiaNrxev6XfT7LIH8dAQ
-
Flory Bidunga is 6’7 without Shoes, 6’8.5 with, 9’1 standing reach with 7’2.5 wingpsan. This is from the Hoop Summit game he’s competing in.

It’s all over the place now but Philon’s people are looking around.
-
I’d say more portal than anything, especially given Marko’s likely return
-
Philon >>>ej unfortunately the eye of talent is waining
-
@kuballin10 they don’t have much if anything to do with each other in this case
-
It will be a bummer if Philon bails.
-
Coaches bail, players bail. Guess it’s now the norm we live in
-
@BeddieKU23 For me it makes the loyal cats like Harris all the more endearing, warts and all.
-
@dylans That loyalty would be why he’s decommit ting. Losing a better pg that can carry the progrum next year for a 5th year of 8 ppg and 6 assist….i mean how could we ever replace such quality production
-
@kuballin10 And if they can’t beat out that what does it say about the “superior” talent?
keep up your narrative buddy.
-
And who says it’s for sure done?
-
It is well known that Harris would be back this next year. Surely that isn’t the reason Philon is wavering. Hell Dejuan told me last year he was playing two more for KU and he doesn’t know me from Adam. Everyone knew Harris was coming back.
-
@approxinfinity said in 2024 Recruiting:

Yup. We need to develop a PG. Oddly just read an old Self quote that said “he can play some point”. Wonder if Self had plans to use him as an off guard more than a PG? Weird.
But, that must mean we have a portal PG locked up?

Zeke can play some point. Elmarko probably gets some run there too so Philon would be competing with Elmarko for those minutes at the backup 1-2. That being said it’s not a given he’s decommitting.
-
Another option could be he just got news that Elmarko is officially staying? Can seee him being skeptical he will see the floor much in that scenario.
-
-
Agreed, I truly don’t know if we will ever have guys like that again due to the landscape.

OH GOD for bid, don’t let certain people here , see you sayin that that would be total sacrilege lmao - -wait who said that lol
-
Bossi says Philon camp doesn’t have 2nd thoughts but obviously there’s no way to know 100%

boy you are so spot on lol, I mean you got it nailed. I’m still trying to figure out how the hell we can replace you
-
kind of like what Dylans was saying, if a player isn’t willing to compete or beat out the other Pg then what’s that say. Prove your better, settle it on the floor. to many feel they should be entitled – you want Juan’s spot beat him in competition --Don’t get Scarred now
If he stays Great—if he leaves we will be fine
-
It wouldn’t be a Kansas recruiting summer without some chaos. I predict the chaos hasn’t even begun.
Oops, hit send too soon!
Crazy scenarios:
— Hunter gets an offer from a pro team in Greece in August and leaves
— Dajuan is lured back to Missourah!
— KJ decides to go pro in rodeo
And we will do some September recruiting to fill the roster! Ha.

Philon might not but someone around him does. I know coaching staffs that have been contacted. It’s early/preliminary at this stage.
-
I trust Bill to hopefully smooth over these issues. Philon is a real talent.
-
Worth doing what you can to make it work
-
Bossi now saying there might be legs to Philon. Will see how it goes.

I think he is lagging today, no disrespect as he tries to cover everything.
-
Welcome AJ Storr!
-
Athlete! Hope passamore is good with sitting for 1 year because with Storr and Griffen we will be a bit log jammed at the wing
-
Storr! He is fun to watch. Nice addition. Who knows who’s next!
They all seem to play the same position so far?

Rylan griffen is next
-
Maybe I missed it. Is Jordan Quintance on the KU radar? He’s only 16 (?) so he had 2 years NCAA ball at a minimum. 6’9” 4 or 5. He was committed to Kentucky. 5*
-
No mentions yet, we did make a run at him prior to his first commitment.
Reportedly has visited Louisville, could visit Memphis and may also go back to UK.
