That’s big time. It would be higher if Ryan was still allowed to make picks too. It’s KU or overseas.
-
RJ needs to pop soon for my sanity.

No joke man. Has gone from about popping for KU his sophomore year to a dook lock to well maybe Kentucky to Penny to maybe KU has a shot then oh my it’s KU to hanging out at the zoo with Steve Irwin’s kids maybe.

Dam this just kind of fits into right along with what I was just posting on 2019 recruiting. - -There was a poster saying it was just kind of strange that RJ comes up with a date and saying people would know soon about their questions - - saying hmmm RJ comes up with a date possibly the same day Jalen is visiting KU ?- Now your hearing that RJ could possibly visit KU the same weekend Jalen is visiting? - -maybe possibly they both commit to Ku on the say weekend/same day? - -hmmmmm - interesting - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Good news
-
Saw where Tucker didn’t qualify - -so ineligible for Memphis - -now Memphis feels like they still can get Hampton - - - -RJ farther I guess said on a Memphis show that RJ is Memphis missing piece for that run - I still think we got him. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I know that - - -so what’s your point? - and question why you always using noting but caps?
-
So why didn’t Tucker qualify? He’d still be a nice fallback option.
-
I think the issue is he didn’t qualify to transfer and use the grad-transfer route which would have allowed him to go to Memphis. If that’s the case I think KU’s out as well.
-
Please don’t go to Memphis, RJ. I feel like it helps that they only have 1 spot open and RJ and Jalen might go to the same place.
-
RJ just said he could join Jalen on his visit. What point would he have going there if it wasn’t to help recruit him
-
I have no idea what goes on in these players’ heads. I just know that Nike/Penny is lobbing bags of cash at people and they have a spot open now.
-
Memphis isn’t getting RJ. Not enough ball to go around with Boogie in the fold.
-
Is there enough ball to go around at KU if Dotson comes back?

Barely. Grimes has to stay gone.
-
@jayballer73 maybe it’s his thing- - -
-
@dylans he played us! I don’t want him
sour grapes from just me, scorned
-
@BShark grimes has been digging his own hole
-
@Crimsonorblue22 kinda feels that way. Re Tucker

I don’t think Grimes has a spot back.
This is straight from Jalen
“With two starters [in the backcourt] leaving for the draft, you never know if they’re going to come back or not, so it’s always something that we’ve got to have in our back pocket,” Wilson said. “Two high-level players that are going to play a lot for Kansas is always something you’ve got to think about. With us, we just want to hoop and we just want to get in the best position to put us in the league. To get in the league, you’ve got to play a lot and perform and lead. And with two players like that, maybe it’s not a perfect fit for you. That’s what we’ve been talking about a lot.”
And you know if it’s on the internet Self knows. I’ve also heard that even if Grimes returns to college he would likely transfer anyway.
-
Funny though how recruits see things differently. Mentioning Grimes as a “high level player” presumably because he played a lot but he was sooo bad.
-
@BShark And because he was the 8th ranked recruit in 2018.
-
@BShark who does TT have in their back court? We know Memphis. So you think d dot does make a difference?
-
If they don’t get drafted they can come back, right?
-
I still fully expect Grimes to follow through on the draft.
However, with the new rule can’t he return to school if he goes undrafted?
-
I think it’s fairly likely Dotson goes pro at this point. If he comes back I think we could squeeze in RJ and Jalen. Start all three if you have to promise Jalen a starting spot to get him wouldn’t be the end of the world.
@Kcmatt7 Well you also have to be welcomed back.
-
@BShark Lol.
If DD goes, are we running RJ at PG?
-
Yes.
-
@jayballer73 grammar police!
-
BShark said:
Yes.
We need another guard still for next year though. I’d guess Kyree Walker ends up a Jayhawk too then if DD is gone.

We would need bodies but adding another starter level guy would be a hard sell/tough pull.
-
You think rj doesn’t want d dot?
-
@BShark What’s the rotation in your mind rn?
-
Crimsonorblue22 said:

I don’t think it’s a huge issue. It’s just both DD and Grimes can’t return. I just think Dotson himself is leaning towards going. If he is going to get drafted in the first round he has to go. This is a super weak draft, it’s his best chance.
@Kcmatt7 In that situation it’s RJ, Garrett, Ochai, Wilson, McBride. I can see where you and I would be worried but adding Walker would be hard. He’d see RJ and Wilson as sure fire starters and Self LOVES Garrett and isn’t far behind with Ochai.
-
I wonder if rj’s dad is trying to get penny up to dollars?

If that’s the case, good God RJ better be the next D-Rose.
-
@Kcmatt7 I’ve got good news for you.
-
The feeling around the program is Dotson is coming back. He’s not a first rounder and most scouts are saying he should go back to school. It would take some gymnastics to bring Grimes back.
And that helps with RJ. He’s a guy that likes to play with other really good players and win.

Well this is great to read. I was seeing a lot of first round stuff floating around. Dotson + RJ + Wilson is lethal.
-
D dot looked good against weak combine guys(grimes), not 1 3. Gotta work on shot, not gonna get those layups against the big boys. He’s much smarter than most too. He will improve!

not necessarily - -like they say he still has time to get finished up over the summer - not overly concerned at this point
