Plus their 4* post commit Omar Payne is a BEAST.
-
I’ll take it. One fewer dude Kentucky throws at us next year at Allen.
-
Josh Green is announcing tomorrow. KU was on his final list but he never visited. Looks to be UNC or Arizona.
-
Yeah, KU fell off there for w/e reason.
-
It’s been done to UNC for awhile. He just loves Carolina.

You sure about that??
-
@Woodrow not anymore lol. It was like 10 days ago. Things change!
-
Sean Miller’s ability to recruit continues to blow my mind. I thought he’d come back down to Earth when he couldn’t pay guys. Nope. I’m just so confused.
-
VIP article on 247 about Stanley’s visit. Sounds like KU did everything they could to position themselves well in this.
Scott gave out this quote for free so I feel okay copy pasting it
“It was an extremely warm, supportive family environment. They take very good care of the student-athletes there. They are very supportive and that’s why they thrive. The whole University community seems to embrace their basketball team. It’s just a great place for anybody who is a high-level basketball player and wants to go to a major college program. I can’t think of a better place than Kansas from what I’ve seen.”
Edit: There are more reaaaally good quotes so if you have 247 premium I recommend reading the article.
-
@BShark wow great endorsement! I hope nothing disrupts that feeling.
-
Still no other visits set up yet either. I wouldn’t be shocked if he came back for a real game on an Unofficial.
-
@Kcmatt7 Plans to visit UCLA and Oregon still.
There are more quotes in that article that bode very well for KU, in my biased opinion.
-
Also in the other Late Night visitor category, rumors persist that N’Faly Dante may reclassify to 2019 come spring. I don’t look for KU to be a huge factor if we land JRE and Hurt.
-
@BShark No doubt he is very talented.

hmmmm , what could possibly disrupt - ? - -say oh I dunno - -this FBI mess - you mean like that lol ? – lol – let’s hope not. - That’s what kind of scares me , I’m worried that this whole mess might be just enough to steer some of thee guys the other way - -away from KU - -for example Hurt - - Stanley - - -Nnaji - -we shall see

well going off your take then sounds like we just might have a shot. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Wow kind of interesting - -well for me anyways. - -just saw where this is some movement - -actually more then some movement in 247 on CB’s - -looks like that Josh Green is getting a lot of CB’s for - - - - -ARIZONA - -that surprises me - as it was generally thought or seemed to be that he was headed to NC. - -but looks like he might land in Arizona. - If that holds up that would kind of throw a monkey wrench into UNC or their fans thoughts anyways about Green going to UNC would be a huge bonus in getting JRE to go with him - -they both visited UNC on the same weekend and the fans on their board was just wetting all over themselves thinking - WELL we get Green then both him and Bacot could talk JRE to coming too - - Not so fast my friends - - the plot thickens - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Evan Daniels sure thinks KU is a threat.

Dotson Stanley Lawson Silvio Wiseman. That’s good I think

Now that Zags made it public
Adam Zagoria
@AdamZagoriaCassius Stanley will visit UCLA late October and Oregon early November, his dad confirms. https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Article/KU-basketball-recruiting-Cassius-Stanleys-father-talks-incredible-Late-Night-in-the-Phog-visit-122851387/ … 4:00 PM - Oct 3, 2018
-
Lol, Ryan shutting that shit down.
-
@BShark Who is Evan Daniels, and why do you think so little of him?
-
@KUSTEVE A national writer for 24/7. He can only report what he is told, but Wiseman isn’t really considering KU. This smells like when the Maryland people were leaked that Dotson would pick Maryland.
-
If I’m wrong I’ll still be here to eat crow. Heh.
-
@BShark Wiseman is either Kentucky, or Penny U, right?
-
@KUSTEVE Correct. KU feels like they are in it just to be a big name here.
-
Wiseman only comes here if the Lawson’s have a better relationship with their family than anyone knows about. I could see a scenario where Dedric/KJ/Chandler/Keelon are able to sell KU from behind the scenes.
But that’s about our only shot, imo. Besides that Adidas and Nike could also still be influencing this with “theoretical” endorsement offers after his one year. Let’s not pretend the shoe war is 100% over lol. Just good business to leave an Adidas school on your final list…
At least this will probably be over in November.
-
We are 100% out on all other C prospects right?
-
@Kcmatt7 not how realistic but I believe we are still on Kofi Cockburns list.
-
@Kcmatt7 Wiseman is going to wait until spring.
Kofi and N’Faly Dante are the others we’re in on.

Nnaji can definitely play the 5, he’s 6’11’’. Don’t really NEED to take a true center with McCormack around. He will be good enough in that role when needed next year.
-
Promising stuff from Stanley’s dad. Late Night should be his best visit the way his others are scheduled. All we can hope for at this point
-

Agreed. Just pointing that out.

What are the odds that Dante reclassifies?
-
@BShark but that’s all we will have is Big Dave. I think at this point we have to assume both Silvio and Doke are gone. I think we need to find a center in this class. I think wouldn’t be surprised if they turn the heat up on Cockburn in the coming months hopefully we can get a visit.
-
Kofi is a wide body but he’s basically Azubuike with a limited offensive skill set and doesn’t protect the rim for a player of his size either.
I think Self would prefer to get 2 of JRE, Hurt & Nnaji for their versatility. Hurt & JRE have experience playing with each other, Nnaji played with Hurt as well in AAU.
One of Hurt/JRE is a must. If Nnaji is the other big you get a near 7 footer with a lot of potential. I think that could be ideal situation
-
@Woodrow Disagree. The game has changed. Doke was unplayable against Villanova. McCormack is a bit more mobile than Doke but we will have to see how he progresses. I don’t see needing another bulky center. I’d much prefer to see flexible bigs added. We should find out if KU is really involved when Kofi sets up his OVs. KU is the best program left on his list for sure. I do like that KU stayed involved though. If KU misses on Hurt and JRE (not as crazy as it sounds, imo) then adding Nnaji and Kofi would be a hell of a rebound. I would still much prefer JRE and Hurt since they have much more polished games at this point.
-
@BeddieKU23 There has been talk with Nnaji now being involved, sure doesn’t hurt with - - Hurt. - -with both of them playing on the same AAU ? right might help in Hurt’s recruitment or visa versa. - - Nnaji is coming this weekend for his Official would be nice if he commits shortly afterwards - -probably won’t happen but can always hope. - Like you we sure could use some form of two out of three combo – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Oh I agree that if you get Hurt and JRE it is a moot point. I agree the game has changed and true centers are becoming extinct but I still think someone like Doke is extremely valuable. I also think Self prefers to have a true center on his team…

I’d agree with that, I just think McCormack qualifies (he’s 265 pounds), you don’t really need two.
-
Here is a little Q&A with JRE
-
I hope he is a little homesick…
-
@Kcmatt7 sounds like it’s really important to him!
-
Josh Green to Arizona as expected.
-
@BShark I didn’t realize he was originally from Phoenix, Arizona. Makes more sense now.
Edit: he’s from Australia lol. Nvm.
-
@Kcmatt7 He’s Australian
