2020 Recruiting
-
Thompson up to #14 in the new 247 rankings. Really hope Bill can land him.
-
Jalen Green is considering skipping College and going pro for a year. #3 player overall KU not a factor but would be a big blow to UK and FSU among others that want him badly. Go get your money young man and don’t waste college’s time

Big time.
Love at #21 as well to note

It doesn’t seem like Harris will be in 2019 unless it’s midyear. Could be wrong, but haven’t heard anything lately.
-
@FarmerJayhawk I heard today, 2020

So what is the plan here? Going to a prep school now?
-
-
@Crimsonorblue22 isn’t he at sunrise?
-
-
No he’s not at Sunrise, I m hearing that Ty Berry is the point guard up there, so I think that Harris is at KU but he’s redshirting this year
-
Read where DaRon Holmes will re-classify and be in the 2020 recruiting class. - - -A 6’8 PF from Goodyear Arizona. Ranked 33rd in the 2021 class
DaRon - -made an un-official visit to KU on Monday - - both his parents went to KU. - -lived in Kansas until 7th grade year. - said how he felt honored to receive a offer from KU.
Anthony Ray - -a writer for Arizona preps stated he has rarely seen a prospect like Holmes take the floor on Arizona Hardwood - - -broke down Daron like this : - - Superb length - - -& versatility - - - complete mis match problem , - - -able to handle the ball in open court - - -very long and rangy , runs the floor like a guard - - athletic post performer - - score inside and out - -good shooter with range - -excellent feet and hands. - - DaRon says no he isn’t like a lot of others big that wants to play guard - - -he wants to play Big where they want him to play.
Offers from : – Arizona , USC , California , WF , Vandy , Pepperdine , Marquette , Ariz St , Texas Tech Ku , and others
Think we have a pretty good chance if we want - sounds like pretty decent player. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 Yea, that is a kid Bill needs to lock up. He would be a great addition and a nice start to the 2020 class.

Does KU have a guy signed for 2020 or was that for 2021?

2022 technically but it’s believed he will reclass to 21.

Just read - - Harris made big jump in Rivals ranking. - -Went from unranked to 83rd.
Article said he still hasn’t officially signed yet & is continuing to work to get things done so he can join the team in time for roster this month. - -He is not listed on the KU roster officially it said - -I wonder if he is going to be able to get it done? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Tre White.
@jayballer73 Will come down to academics with Harris.
-
-
@FarmerJayhawk I’m really glad you’re part of the board. You add a lot to our discussions.
-
I really like Harris. He’s real smooth with the ball, passes beautifully… no look passes … the whole shebang. He can drive to the basket and score, and seems to be able to hit a jumper. What I like best are those quick hands…picking off passes, and making steals and taking them the other way. Hopefully, he can build his body up without losing his quickness. In a couple years, the dude could be really good.
-
@KUSTEVE likewise! This is the best KU board I’ve been a part of. The quality of discourse is terrific.
I like him a lot as well. He’s got a bit of Aaron Miles to his game. He and Mackey are good complements. I very much hope he can get here in December. Sounds like August isn’t happening, but obviously I don’t know his schedule for sure.
-
-
Hopefully Harris can join this year. That would be ideal for the transition from Dotson to whatever options we have to play with.

Sounds like the staff is very high on him.

JT Thor would be a great pick-up, and from there it would seem that we need one or two bigs (who is anyone’s guess, don’t seem to be in the lead for any). We need to sign atleast one long guard too, one that can shoot from anywhere.

This guy is taking a official this weekend. First I have heard of him.
-
@Woodrow niiiiiice. He’s a lot like Oscar Tshiebwe at West Virgina. High motor, shot blocker, athlete.
-
BYU is the rumored leader here, but KU has a shot.

Any idea if he is into the mormon faith?

Muslim, actually. I do think he’s a pretty religious kid.

Just read – not 2020 recruit BUT - -read where Grady Dick is going to take a un-official for late night – - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 "Dick, a 6-foot-5, 170-pound guard in the Class of 2022 from Wichita Collegiate, received a scholarship offer from the Jayhawks this summer and made a name for himself in the recruiting world with a solid summer when he showcased his extreme athleticism.
“This kid is a very skilled prospect who plays with a high motor and is ultra-aggressive on the court,” Kusports.com recruiting insider Matt Scott said.
Dick has teamed with fellow-Class of 2022 prospect Mark Mitchell, of Bishop Miege, on the summer circuit and is considered by many recruiting analysts to be a fast-riser in the class."

If anyone would know about the real targets, it’s Matt Scott.

Saw all the one’s he listed yesterday in his article

Here is a very good article about Gradey Dick. The kid is DYNAMIC …
https://kansas.rivals.com/news/gradey-dick-has-a-strong-connection-to-kansas-and-other-programs
The pull quote: "Don’t be surprised if Dick eventually emerges as one of the most heavily coveted prospects in the 2022 class when all is said and done."

Rumor is KK Robinson is transferring to Oak Hill to get more blue blood (read: Kansas) attention.

Awesome.
Thoughts on the big visiting in late September?

Good decision. KK on video looks a bit underrated. I would not be upset if Self made him a priority if a few other targets get caught up in swoosh money
-
I liked KK’s tape a lot… Would not be upset.

Honestly don’t know a ton. I saw Sunrise and assumed it was a nominal visit.

@FarmerJayhawk This kid from Aspire https://247sports.com/Player/Gethro-Muscadin-46057375/

Right. He was at Sunrise last year so I assumed KU was window dressing. I’ll poke around and see what I can find.
-
Saw a couple twitter highlights. Looks pretty athletic.
-
I can confirm he does not play the flute, a la the Jethro Tull frontman.

Right the tape looks good and he has size, athleticism and play making ability that seems to indicate he’s better then his current ranking. I wonder if his highlights are not consistent enough or something. Certainly would seem to have the talent of a Top 50 guy

So Mady Sissako will be on Campus this weekend. 6’8 - - 225 pound Center listed Coach Self how football can be a recruiting tool hoping for a good turnout for the game.
Mady said that coming to United States that KU was his dream School. - - Yet doesn’t mean anything special just because it was his dream school , says he wants to go where they want him the most and where he fits in.
Mady is considered an Elite Shot Blocker. - A writer after watching Mady at a recent event - -writer for Cats illustrated which is Kentucky writer said - - - Mady was one of the most dynamic shot blockers he has seen. - -calling them Volleyball spikes – pinning against backboards and such - -Sounds like we could use him for sure - -talked about how he can bully his way to the basket
Ranked # 48 at the present up 31 spots in latest ranking - Already visited BYU - -Colorado - - Michigan State - - UCLA - And plans on working a visit to Memphis

I think Dick would be a huge pick up
. But seriously, looks like a baller. Yet another great in-state player that has grown up watching KU. We have got to sign those kinds of players. I’m still not giving up on Ty Berry.
-
@Marco I haven’t given up on The Berry either, Hopefully we can keep our in- state kids… I m hearing that Michigan likes Berry too now.
-
Have some sneaky feeling we could wrap up his recruitment this weekend. No info, just a hunch with him taking the visit so early. We’ll see
-
Bryce Thompson is cutting his list of schools tonight at 7 per his Twitter.
