New 2019 Recruiting

@Woodrow The Suns will not be giving JJ a 2nd contract. It’s almost guaranteed at this point.
You said he would not be getting a second contract. Insinuating he will be out of the league when his first one runs out. The Suns might not sign him and if he was smart he wouldn’t resign with that dumpster fire, but he will sign a second contract with a team.
-
@Woodrow Ok, we’ll see. He is not that far from washing out. His PER is ranked 300th out of 388 players who have played in 20 or more games so far this season. He is 226th out of 266 players who have played 750 or more minutes this season. He is 250th out of those same 266 players in True Shooting Percentage. He is a 3 and D wing with no 3. I very much see him ending up overseas without improvement.
But whatever, it doesn’t matter. He was the 4th pick in the draft and he is unlikely to get meaningful minutes anywhere after his stint with the Suns. And even if I count him as a “hit,” it’s semantics at this point. It barely changes the list. All I was trying to do was put this out there visually. We can nitpick my list all we want, but Bill has not had the success that the other two have had with guys who had OAD potential coming into college. It is the perception, even if the recruits we have landed aren’t the same caliber as some of these others for Duke or UK.
All I’m trying to say, I can see why a recruit and their family would pick UK or Duke over KU if their child has a shot at being a OAD player.
-
The biggest stat not listed is that Dook and Uks classes are better than KUs almost every single year.

I agree with that! I was never arguing that Self is even close when it comes to those other two programs when it comes to OAD.
I was simply saying that Cal gets the benefit of the doubt most of the time because of the Wall, Cousins, AD, of the world. He doesn’t have very many TRob, Withey, Tyshawn, Frank, Graham players.
He isn’t some world beater when it comes to developing players.
-
Anyways, sorry to derail the thread.
Precious is in town so let’s hope we get a W tonight and Self knocks it out of the park with him.
-
@Woodrow I wholeheartedly agree. Self, to me, is the far superior player developer if given multiple seasons. Which is why it has always been funny to me that he’d even go after the players he goes after.

LOL @ Josh not getting a second contract. Come on.
Agree for sure Woodrow - - - Josh will for sure be getting a 2nd contract - -plain and simple

it may not be with that pit hole but ya Josh will get a 2nd contract. - - Phoenix has a lot of more problems then Josh - place is a dam dumpster fire - Josh would do really well to get the hell out of there. - -He is NOT their main reason for their situation
-
Well something must of leaked - - got out or something. – - -6 picks on Matthew Hurt today - -and it looks like Duke is yet going to get Hurt - - SOB - this FBI thing is just killing us - - We are now a 59% - -and Duke is at 29 % – Man we are in a world of hurt. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
More follow the leader than anything. Literally 3 days ago Evan said he didn’t know jack. Bossi over at Rivals still likes KU.

If I’m Precious right now AFH looks mighty fine

we played very well, and got a much needed win. now, let’s finish strong!
-
@FarmerJayhawk saw him sitting by Wayne, 100 miles away
-
How were announcers? Saw marlins man in ku hat
-
@FarmerJayhawk he’s much taller than wayne
-
-
@BShark @Crimsonandblue12 Precious is enormous. Wayne is probably 6’7 or so and Precious makes him look small. Honestly he’s big enough to play some 5.
-
@FarmerJayhawk Would be a dream to land him. Wouldn’t even care if Hurt went to Duke. Though right now Hurt is the better offensive player.

pretty decent – Jay Bilas was one of them

Either one. The perimeter is going to be salty.

Should be. At this point the staff isn’t recruiting any guards other than Stanley. Who honestly would be a nice bench piece.
-
Simien? Precious makes Simien look small? That’s a big high schooler!

I THINK GRIMES IS NOT GONING ANYWERE

@JAYHAWKFAN214 he looked good and looked like he was having fun.
-
His shot didn’t look so rushed yesterday. He made better passes (and got lucky a few found friendly hands). He had a couple of nice hustle plays. And he played 36 minutes in an ass whooping. He was a good player yesterday.
-
Best defense I saw out of him all year. The effort was there and it wasn’t inconsistent. He saw a few shots go in which probably helped him out big time.
-
@BeddieKU23 Just everything about him yesterday was more aggressive. He seemed to use his 6’5 200lb frame a little bit yesterday too, which was nice to see.
-
Definitely. Making shots just seemed to make a difference for him last night. Loved his effort overall and I wish we could bottle it up.
He still has a long ways to go to showing that consistently but we got a glimpse last night of the player we expected out of HS
-
Bossi says Hurt could announce on his birthday April 20th. This from his dad. If this was already reported my apologies
-
Was just reading a post of another site about Precious from another person on the phog. - he stated that Precious has a Mentor , name of OZ Cross. - that OZ Cross worked under Coach Roberts when he was at St Johns - - - said that KU kept in contact with I guess precious for a long time - - - and saying with this Cross working under Roberts while at St Johns that thinks it could help us now.
So my question is - - does this send up a red flag? – dealing with another Mentor or what the hell ever you wanna call these guys.? - -It just seems I’m starting to think- -anytime there is a mentor or whatever - there come baggage - -issues - -problems if that’s the case - -w sure the hell DONT NEED anymore. - I dunno IF this is the case I myself would be really leary after all the junk that has been coming on.
So I have another question. So basically we are now down for any hope for any recruit for 2019 - -we either have Hurt - - -Precious - - OR Stanley right? - -That’s it?
Seems like we are losing Hurt to Duke more likely then not now Precious? – just don’t know - -think our chances are pretty slim with him anyways - -Stanley who knows? - haven’t heard ANYTHING with him for some time. - - Last I knew thought had heard we were sitting in a fairly good spot with him - -just so quiet- anyone heard anything more - seems like this year is COMPLETE BUST. - Anybody got any other fairly remote chance of us landing? - -GOD I hope so. - -ROCK CHALKALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Absolutely a concern. I’ll just leave it at that

KU is said to be recruiting Harlond Beverly and Tristan Enaruna as well.
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/harlond-beverly-199133
https://n.rivals.com/content/prospects/2019/tristan-enaruna-233305
If and when Miller gets fired at Zona there will be a free for all on their #1 ranked recruiting class as well.

Not sure how hard KU is going after Beverly (and I don’t think he would move the needle on next year’s squad) but Enaruna is really good. He’d be a really nice get if Hurt ends up at Duke.
Agree on Arizona and I think Nnaji could end up at KU.
RE Precious: pretty sure it’s basically known info that he is going to the highest bidder.
-
KU wants at least two more bigs assuming Dedric and Silvio leave.
-
@BShark That’s what I was afraid of -so we need to run from that situation with Precious

Not gonna happen. Self wants him bad.

As he should, imo. One of the very few game changing type recruits KU could get this class.

Bad enough to be put on probation - - if he has an handler and people talking about he going to highest bidder - - NO WAY
-
Eh, this is just how it works at this level of talent. Either play the game or have a team full of Mitch Lightfoot’s (Lightfeet?)
-
@FarmerJayhawk nope. - -you can still have really really good teams without having to pay people to come play - Why pay these guys and oh sure you win and then sooner then later it all get stripped away - -NOPE - -no thanks. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@FarmerJayhawk I sure in the hell hope Bill has not lowered himself to that level -If he has then he needs to go. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Duke is now recruiting Trendon Watford. Pretty sure they haven’t been on him until now. I know there is some Hurt and Duke smoke but wonder if this is a back up plan.
( I know Duke can take multiple 5* kids at the same position)

Duke isn’t even listed on his schools of interest so certainly this is new .

Yeah, as things stand Duke honestly wouldn’t be that good next year. I expect they will get that taken care of though.

I still fully expect RJ to end up there next season.
Add in Hurt, and all of a sudden that starting 5 is 5 Top 50 freshman.

Gross but true. They are the runaway #1 if they had Hampton and Hurt.
