Marcus LoVett Leaving St Johns
Feb 18, 2018 09:45 PM #1

Looks like his dad got sideways with their coaching staff after his injury. He is a kid KU was very interested in before discovering he would be a partial-qualifier (like BMac and Jamari). He could be a bit of a head case (I think he went to three high schools) but if KU loses Vick and Newman maybe the staff takes a look. Right now he is apparently focusing on "getting healthy and exploring all his options". He could even go pro, but that would probably be in Europe.

We already have one too many guys for next season, I highly doubt KU even pursues him.

@kjayhawks Maybe. Hard to say who is leaving. I wouldn't go after him either but figured I'd bring it up.

If dad is involved, no thanks.

I would bet he is. Honestly I think LoVett goes pro. He is already 21.

@BShark

Head case?

Three high schools?

Partial qualifier?

Not interested. No way.

But add in the key word "transfer" to that long list and that tips the scales.

He becomes absolutely our kind of guy!!!!

Sign him now!!!!

Lovett has talent. He's small so the likelyhood he sticks in the pro's is unlikely. He could have a great college career for the next few years and expand his options.

I remember KU being one of his big offers when he was being recruited. He got screwed around by the NCAA's when he was coming in if I remember correctly

@BShark [

I'd take him in a heartbeat.

@BeddieKU23 @KUSTEVE @jaybate-1-0 He is without a doubt very very talented which is the only reason I made the thread. However I think KU is currently in a place where we don't need to take chances to get talent. We saw that come to a head this year with Cunliffe who really isn't ready to contribute to winning bball and having to take Preston when the staff knew he might not ever play a game.

@BShark You're probably right. He oozes trouble. I still would love to have him, though. That guy is so lightening quick, it is astonishing.

Oh he'd be real good for us if he came here and was willing to work. He and Charlie Moore were on the same HS team for one year. How ridiculous is that? lol

@BShark It's a small world. Especially for those two mighty mites.

@KUSTEVE

I see what you did. I like it.:smile:
