New JUCO offer out
Sooo didn’t see position played - - is he worth anything ?
He’s a 5. 6’8 265, pure low post/rebounder type. Doke-esque touch from the line. https://www.loganvols.com/sports/mbkb/2019-20/bios/curry_sydney_t8do
Been watching highlights. I think he might be the best realistic option we have at the 5. Yeah he’s undersized but he is THICK and dunks frequently and violently. I think he would be a great back-up 5 for Dave next year.
I was thinking Joey Dorsey as a comp. Starting 5 for Memphis when we beat them in 08. Not the shot blocker Dorsey was, but a really good rebounder and effort guy.
-
@FarmerJayhawk reasonable comp. Actually extremely similar size too. Do you know where he is on the priority list? Self seems more grounded lately but wondering if the staff thinks they have a shot at Reid, Kepnang, Etienne etc…

They’d take any of those guys before Curry. It doesn’t make a lot of sense to take Curry as your only center type guy because he’s only a year behind Dave. I do think it makes some sense to take Curry and a freshman as an insurance policy against Dave going pro (don’t think that’s going to happen) or a transfer.
-
Curry played for the same school as Jay Scrubb who was the Juco that went pro instead of going to Louisville this year.
-
@FarmerJayhawk yeah that’s logical in a normal situation. I’m just not sure they can land any of those guys or the other 5s on the 24/7 target list in the current climate.

Good news is Adams is ultra productive. 23 and 9 for his HS team last year as a junior. Plenty of time to work on the jumper and his body. Ideally could be a nice small ball 4 man.
Just saw this. Yeah he compiled stats and his team won a lot. 33-2.
BSnow used that same term, production. Also seen it mentioned that he is known for his toughness and rebounding prowess. This kid, assuming he does come to KU, is going to be like Ochai, Lucas, Agbaji and play way more than many fans think he should. So in that sense, I feel this is a smart decision for him lol.

Taking Curry as a bridge to give Gethro an extra year to develop isn’t the worst option. I also can’t see Dave leaving early either so by the time Curry would be gone, Gethro would be entering his 3rd year at KU at that point and be refined enough to start

Adams level of competition in HS last year was pure garbage. Take anything I’ve ever said about the quality of the HS competition Quentin Grimes faced in Houston and copy/paste to Adams except Austin is worse than Houston. The D/FW area is the only area in Texas where there’s a lot of quality basketball teams.

Probably got it from Scot Pollard.

boy what a mess my account screwed up

Take it with a BIG grain of salt here but Corey Evans on Rivals is predicting KU might be a contender for
Deron Holmes 6’8 PF #37 ranked player from Montverde Fl. No substance to the claim there but interesting to note as he’s a guy I haven’t seen mentioned before.
Quick video scout, Can Shoot the 3, athletic, above average rim protector, would not want him handling the ball.

KU does want him. I figured no chance in hell if AZ wanted him.
-
What’s AZ’s pull with him?
-
KU is not a contender to 5 star Harrison Ingram. Figured with no recent mention of him with KU
-
@BeddieKU23 Holmes is from Arizona originally.
KU did not make Ingram’s final 6.
-
thx. I would take Holmes in a heartbeat and call it a day in the post.

Class of 2021Sam ayomide is a center has get a offer from Kansas
-
Unranked but offers from Memphis, Illinois, LSU and now Kansas. 6’11’’ and long. I bet he will shoot up the rankings.
-
Ayomide.
-
Looks very raw in skill but he’s a big boy.
-
Have fun with this name.
Kok Yat #129 prospect now in 21 (was #79 in 22), a 6’8 forward from Norcross Georgia has reclassified into the 2021 class and says KU is among 3 programs prioritizing him at the moment

need to put some weight on him tho

Bryce Hopkins decommitted from Louisville. We don’t need a wing but would take.
-
@BShark Give us your prediction… Who else do you think that we’ll sign? Where is @jayballer73 and @FarmerJayhawk?
-
Who?
-
I think for 2021 we can sign five players, two spots already taken. Who are the other three? That all hinging, ofcourse, on whether we have a season. Let’s just say - hypothetical - that we have a season and with two spots already taken we still have 3 to give out (and that is another debate, who will leave early). Who do you think it will be? I never saw Clemence or Adams coming, so don’t ask me.

I’ll take Hickman, Bates, and Landers. Just guessing on Landers though. I really don’t know what we’re doing with bigs.

We wouldn’t have a shot at him anyways even if we did need a wing. - -read the article why he de-committed from Louisville and he was quoted as saying the uncertainty of Sanctions and hearing about it and not knowing - -would be the same thing with us
-
@Marco Here I am buddy. My account got all screwed up , couldn’t sign in no matter what , so I am now a new user under Jayballer 67
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:

Offering every single available one as far as I can tell.
-
Just to let everyone know - - I’m still here yippee. My whole computer system went whacko had to come up with a whole new username - -but ol Jayballer 54/67 not really alot going on anyways - -I’ll be gla when NLI day rolls around so we know who exactly we DO have in Football & Basketball. - - Going to have the usual de-commits in football I think- - BIGGEST one I wonder about is the Coleman kid is think it’s kind shaky - long time till Dec – hope I’m wrong

Bates will be a Jayhawk if we really push.

So do we really want to push ? – -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
So, what are the flaws in Bates’ game? It seems to be a no-brainer that we try our asses off to sign him, but I’m not Coach Self or his staff. @FarmerJayhawk would there be a reason why we wouldn’t make a push?

Not really a shooter and has a lot of work to do on his body. A year at IMG should do him wonders.
-
Defense. Playing against good competition which the switch to IMG could mitigate. Typical 4 star prospect that doesn’t have elite skills
-
Wow. Dook landed Paolo Banchero. Big surprise. That class could be stacked if they land Baldwin (dook vs. Milwaukee there).

@FarmerJayhawk barf

Made JD Davison’s top 6. Don’t really think we’re a factor.

Well he’s from checks notes Alabama and all the others schools are does spit take Nike. I would tend to agree.
-
Think I’ve said from the beginning not to expect Davison playing College hoops

@FarmerJayhawk As always, it’s Nolan Hickman time.
