@BShark Bill and staff are having to work at it. They’ve been pretty darn good at identifying under the radar talent. Unfortunately that’s going to have to continue as the top recruits aren’t beating the doors down right now.

Agree. We were lucky with Bryce but the rest of the last two classes Self has had to fall back on his talent evaluation. The good news is, I think he is still pretty good at it. Braun has surprised early. I like what I see from Tristan if he can figure things out. I'm not too sure about Gethro and Jossell but they are end of the roster filler for now.

If offers are any indication 21 isn't going to be any different. Outside of Tamar Bates (who I really like) I'm not sure who we have a good chance at. Would love Tchikou but there is no way that happens. I know Kendall Brown likes Kansas a lot but if it comes down to money :man_shrugging:

Read off zags blog yester I believe. -See where KU offered this kid on April 18th , talked about how his recruiting was heating up. with recent offers from KU & Marquette.

Tichyque Musaka , a 6'11 - 190 out of Valley Christian California ( I would says he needs to hit the old weight room for one - - get some bulk. ) Originally from Congo - -came to United States when he was 13. Was planning on playing in AAU with the West Coast elite - but not now because of COVID .

Self was down to see him play , he say KU said they are looking for a guy like him come in finish rim protector - - -rebound. -I tried looking for him off 247 but found nothing. At this point doesn't list him as a top 100. - -project ?

other offers: Oregon , USC , G Town , DePaul , TCU and others it says. - -Anybody else heard anything on this guy ? - -must be some interest at least if we made offer. probably move up later

Apr 30, 2020 12:26 AM #97

Another offer for 2022. Ramel Lloyd. A 6'6 wing from Taft Cal ,yet going to transfer to Dream City Christian - -I believe in Arizona.

When asked his thoughts on KU :Tradition - - -A Blue Blood & History of players that have went to pro's. Said since he is a Soph , Coach can't reach out direct but that Ku had been talking to him through the Coach's and had offered through his Coach. - Arkansas has also recently offered.

Ranked as the # 57 player at this point. - Other schools to offer: Arizona St , Depaul , Fresno State , Manhattan , U Mass , St Johns , TCU , UNLV , & USC.

Looks like Coach is shifting some on his recruiting. - -Is he backing off more of the higher level player ? Could be with this NBA thing it could be he is looking more at that 3-4 year developmental player instead of a kid that is here maybe for ONE year. - Just have seen the recruits he has been in on lately. - -OR is it because he is just not getting the interest of the higher elite player because of possibly sanctions with the NCAA , and just not having success with that an is relegated to these type players. Sometimes these type of kids have a really high ceiling, I trust him. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FWIW: I live in the south bay and have heard nothing about Musaka. Now I don't watch prep that closely, so there could be a great talent in my backyard... but Aaron Gordon was impossible to miss when he was rising through high school. Haley Jones last year-- also impossible to miss.

By comparison, I first heard of Musaka here, on this board, despite the distinguishing features and close proximity.

Well today is the 1st day that KU & other Colleges could have direct contact with 2022 recruits and KU was really busy.

I guess the big surprise to the recruit and to others was Ku has offered a Lawrence local a Scholi they were thrilled and & surprised.- - saying they really got to buckle up and stay after it now.

JuJu Ramirez , that is out of Bishop Seabury a 6'9 kid that can play inside and the perimeter, on his 1st day has offers from Denver , Bryant , Rhode Island , Minnesota & Ku. makes me think if KU is offering they see something in the kid, usually pretty good at evaluating talent . - so I'm good. he is going to move and play for New Hampton Prep this Season.

Reached out to many others , guys to keep an eye on : Jayden Bradley a 6'3 pg # 9 from IMG Academy

Keyonte George a 6'5 pg # 12 from Lewisville Texas

Mark Mitchell a 6'7 F # 19 from Bishop Meige

Lee Dort a 6'10 C # 13 from Addison Texas

Sky Clark a 6"4 pg # 23 from Dallas Texas

A J Casey a 6'8 F # 24 from Chicago

Rylan Griffin a 6'5 SG # 76 from Richardson Texas

Grady Dick a 6'6 G # 334 from Sunrise Academy Kansas

Nick Smith a 6'4 pg out of Sherwood Arkansas

Rody Gayle a 6'4 SG out of Niagra Falla NY

The staff is out aggressive. Check out the 247 line and most of these recruits list us in their top 5 schools at the present time to get busy - -time to keep an eye see how these things play out. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Another in with Ju Ju if he is being strongly recruited which Townsend told him he wanted him to come in and help then win another National Championship, but KU ties with his family are really deep.

Mom played Volleyball at KU from 1999-2000 and his dad played in one of the 1st class at Free State. Ju Ju said as we all know that the atmosphere at KU is crazy , when asked what he was looking for in a School was typical the fit and just like any other kid basically wanting to play as a Freshman- - umm not to sure if that would happen how the minutes would work but time would tell on that. Kind of hard unless you special to get a lot of quality minutes at KU as a freshman . Another big thing for him is how he fots with the Coaching staff , will play a big factor in his recruitment.

One of the reasons he said he was going to go play New Hampton was because Brady Morning star played thee and was an advocate to getting him to New Hampton and that the difference between Lawrence basketball and the NEPSPS. Playing with older and stronger players were factors.

he been spending a lot of time with Brady and Doug Compton Jr, saying has really helped a lot, just lifting weights and trying to become more physical and stronger

The problem for KU locking down the state is the two biggest sources players are Sunrise and MoKan are both Nike backed teams. KU will never land the elite players from either MoKan or Sunrise as long as each are Nike backed and KU is Adidas.

Had to kind of Chuckle when he was breaking down the schools and it came time for Squeaky ( Ol Brucie ) lol - -he say that they wanted him to come over and fill his Cousins shoe's , then repeated they want we to come over and fill shoe's lmao. - - As far as Oklahoma he said they wanted him to come and take over and score like Buddy Heid & Trae Young

Well been pretty bored today and did a little scoping out from Rivals and found some things kind of interesting ang yet some confusing to a degree. One thing I noticed between rivals and 247 is that the two sites vary in they're ranking of players - -some quite a bit.

Found some names - -some has been mentioned & a few that I haven't heard. Here are some and difference on rankings : - One Big one that hadn't heard mentioned and looks like he interested is:

4 ( by 247 ) - -# 6 by ( Rivals ) - -is Amari Bailey 6'4 Combo out of Chatsworth California. - -has a future cast of 100 % KU- - -but here is the thing I see where fans can make their predictions on where they think a kid is going , So the confusing part is a prediction on rivals from an expert or just some random fan ? - Cause I saw where a couple of players that had their top 5 schools of interest and yet a couple of times where there was a future cast of a School that wasn't even listed. - - Confusing -Other names for 2022:

Kajani Wright 6'9 PF out of LA California -- ( 10 - -247 )- -( # 9 rivals )

Lee Dot - -heard this name before 6'10 Center out of Addison Texas- - ( # 12- -247- - ( 15 rivals )

Brice Griggs 6''1 PG out of San Diego - -- ( # 22 --247 ) - - -( # 27 rivals )

Dylan Andrews 6'4 PG out of LA California- - - ( # 25 - -247 )- - ( # 30 rivals )

Vince Iwuchukwu 6' 10 Center out of San Antonio Tx - - ( # 34- -247 )

Tre White Another name heard before ( # 47- -247 )- - ( #39 rivals )

Rylan Griffin 6'5 SG out of Richardson Texas ( # 53- -247 )

Colin Smith 6'7 SF out of Dallas Texas- - ( # 74- -247 - - ( # 57 rivals ) quite a difference

Joseph Pinion 6'6 SF out of Morrillon Ark- - ( # 105- -247- - ( # 89 rivals ) another big difference

Some names I found. Looks like we are still hitting big boys one way or another , these guys either listed KU as one of their top 5 Schools at the present , so either they're interest in us or Our interest in them or both. - we were listed for 10 out of the top 53 rated players for one reason or another in the class of 2022 - - there are others they listed but we have mentioned - - -Grady Dick , for one - -gonna be interesting just passing some names along , you may have heard of these guys - - or not - -anyways - -some one's to keep an eye on. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ryan on the Phog indicated the staff is still really high on Harris. Really good chance he's here for 4 more years and I think he has a role this year while slowly learning how he'll possibly take over Garrett's spot after the season. Unless Self lands himself a top level PG like he did Dotson to come in right away it makes the most sense that they are content to let Harris develop and become a starter.

I think it's fine if Harris starts. The best case scenario with returning players leaves KU with three guards. Harris, Bryce and...Jossell. Braun, Ochai and Tyon could fill in but you really want a third guard other than Jossell. I can see where it would be tough to recruit even normally w/o the NCAA crap as other coaches will say everyone is coming back. Other than getting a guard out recruiting has lined up well with players that are for sure leaving. Clemence in for Silvio and KJ in for Mitch.

I would absolutely prefer another guard that's interchangeable on the perimeter. The rug fell out from the Hickman recruitment, Bates did his thing and Salis is being pushed in other ways so it is what it is there. Missing on Hickman is a major loss, I personally thought his game was terrific. Maybe the staff finds something in the Spring or pushes the transfer market for an upperclassmen. The recruiting cloud isn't going away anytime soon and I wouldn't count out Braun becoming a go-to perimeter guy by Jr season. I think he has the chance to surprise the fanbase the way Marcus developed himself into a dependable PG option last season. Things have a way of working themselves out. I hope the recruiting losses on the perimeter are replaceable.

@BeddieKU23 Good point, and you are right. But coaches from schools non-affiliated will offer scholarships anyway just to make sure that the favored schools put in the work, if nothing else. It also allows them to zone in on their true targets, while hopefully preoccupying their competitors elsewhere. Damn near militaristic, but effective.

jayballer67

Oct 28, 2020 03:54 PM #168

Well can't say the Staff isn't putting in work. - Went through the rankings of 2022 recruits from 247 sports went through top 60 ranked kids,

At this point where the kids list their top five schools at this particular point KU is listed by the following players as one of the kids top five Schools of interest : # 4 - -- # 6 - - -# 10- - # 12 - - # 13 - - -# 21 - - - # 29 - - # 30 - - # 31 - - # 37 - - & # 44

So we must be still getting kids attention we just HAVE TO FINISH on some of these kids.

So of particular interest as I know at one point anyways heard we were right there with a couple of these kids - -does anyone know any more how we stand with Mark Mitchell & Grady Dick ?

Would be interested in a couple of others if anyone know or has heard anything and they are : # $ ranked kid Amari Bailey a 6'4 CG out of Chatsworth California. - - He has us listed along with UCLA , Alabama , Depaul , Illinois - - - Then the # 30 ranked kid Vince Iwuchukwu a 7 footer C out of LaPorte Indiana ? - he has us listed along with -- -Baylor , Purdue , TCU , Texas , & KU - -looks like he wants to stay right here in the middle of the Country with those choices - - - -Anybody help ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Not expecting KU to be serious with anyone in the Top 20-25 recruits. Just the way it is right now.

KU seems to be in the thick of things with 4 star PG Mark Armstrong. The NJ prospect is 6'2, 160 pounds. 247 has him as the #40 player but the composite has him sitting at #130. Guess one of the services hasn't ranked him yet. Rutgers, UConn, Louisville, Stanford also involved.

Kansas: “Their main message was basically like Rutgers’ besides playing for your state. Just coming in and being a main piece for the team. Nothing is guaranteed but they said I have the chance to be a main part and that they are very interested. Hearing that was amazing because it's a wonderful opportunity to have a school that you watched when you were younger to be recruiting you. I watch all these guards ahead of me so for them to be interested in me says a lot and I'm very grateful to be in this position.”

BeddieKU23

Nov 20, 2020 11:30 AM #176

KU one of 4 programs prioritizing 4 star 6'11 forward Mouhamed Gueye of Prolific Prep California. Ranked #36, has only been in the states about a year..

Kansas: “They send me stuff every week about the school. Their main message is that they want me there and they just want to get me better. I kind of knew Kansas before I got here too. I used to watch them because they have a lot of African kids, and now they have big time players in the NBA so that stands out. They develop their players really well. The names that stick out to me are Joel Embiid and even Andrew Wiggins who I like to watch a lot. The main thing about them is probably the coach and how real he is because he’s not playing around.

you could very well be right - -not saying your not by any means about being serious with anyone in the top 25. Did a little looking with recruits and found that between 247 sports & Rivals KU was either listed as top five consideration or at least mentioned with 10 -25 of the top 25 recruits for 2022 & - -19-50 recruits, so I would say that KU was in at least in decent in recruiting at this stage. Now how things pan out have no idea. All I know a lot of things can happen between now and then - -but 10/25 & 19/50 not to bad at this point.

One I found interesting was # 3 on 247 & 3 5 by rivals was 6'4 CG Amari Bailey out of Chatsworth Calif - -247 had his top 5 at this point as UCLA , Alabama , Depaul , Illinois & KU - hadn't heard that name mentioned before - - -Another name I hadn't heard before that is # 15 by Rivals is Sadraque Nganga 6'9 PF out of Phoenix Arizona , someone to keep your eye on & the last one for me might of been mentioned not sure # 11 by 247 & rivals is - - - Kijani Wright a 6'9 PF out of La California has his top 5 at this point as Arizona , Arizona State , Arkansas , California , & KU

well let's see Mitch is gone , - - -Unless Dave leaves for some reason - that's about it when you start talking about Big's now isn't it ? - -i think we all know Jalen won't be going anywhere , not after this Season right? - so among the Big's who else is there big's wise ? - -Unless Gethro maybe for some reason ,possibly seeing he might be being recruited over possibly and moves on knowing he might be buried right?

I just can't see the logic in 2021 , KU can still really get after the kid just for 2022 would be a better situation I think. - With us Having Curry , Clemence , & KJ coming in next year I don't know could be wrong have been known to be wrong before - - justdon't think 2021 wouyld be a good fit

Incredible athlete. Self and co will have to do their patented tear down and rebuild of his shooting form. At bare minimum he’d be able to come in right away and defend (already a plus defender) and drive. In some ways he’s similar to Devon in style, but Cuffe is definitely more of a pure athlete where Devon was just absurdly fast.

ya I have to feel the same too. - If he is announcing WHERE he is going tomorrow I think he is re-classifying- will turn out being yet another solid class.

@Marco Hard to say. Curry is still unranked but was a great coup by the staff. He will probably end up a 3*. If Cuffe ends up in 21 more than the ranking I'm thrilled they added 4 really good players. A lot of athleticism there, and multi-year guys.

That video is a good watch for insight into Cuffe. Great kid.

Clemence as a stretch 5/4? Adams as an inside/out hybrid, and Curry as a total nightmare and huge load at the 3? Not a bad combo. If Cuffe reclasses, wow. So you see Curry as a 3?

Marco

Dec 20, 2020 04:08 PM #267

@BShark gotcha. What I like about the three of them though is that all three are inside players with handles. It is going to be nice to have some muscle inside too. Hopefully Gethro develops and can fill in at the 5 and 4. I was trying to imagine Curry with an outside shot playing occasionally as a mismatch 3 😂!

I saw where he said he really wasn't thinking about re-classifying right now just wanted to get this announcement out of the way so he could concentrate on the Season , from things I'm seeing and hearing RIGHT NOW anyways sounds more like he is staying in 2022,

If that is true hate to hear that , that's a long time for a kid to make a verbal - lots of things can happen between now and then exp - - Ku gets hit hard for this NCAA crap - can change a kids mind real easy , seen that happen way to many times - -School is ban from a post Season or whatever they want that exposure - what better exposure then the Tourney - -Big Time Stage- -- sure hopin -he comes early

Here is my take from that. 1st I usually form an opinion pretty quick and once it's formed hard to change. The 1st thing I take from this is - -loves his family , seems like very level headed kid Seems like the whole family is just a very caring loving family

Hard work ethic , works hard loved the section of his work outs dedicated to getting better - di ya all catch the part about running steps up and down the 25 stories ? - holy jumpin -- gee - - hossie - - fats . a kid like that always wanting to work hard make something for his future - -coming out or from surrounding Harlem -just loved the whole video he put together - -very well done

Ol Coach saying he was on pins & Needles lol - -dam loved this video , might watch again lol again love his work ethic from what I saw - -not a lot of this flashy hi-lite reel where it's just a dunk fest - more down to earth family/working out/ his culture/growing up things like that - - - AND he is now a Jayhawk - - best part.

Now here is the thing call me stupid whatever but another of my 1st takes on this - you know who Kyle kind of reminds me of personality wise lighting up the room Smiling and such ? - - just my take - -kind of reminds me a little of Devonte Graham sure do , - -oh ya I think I'm gonna love this guy- - Gonna love him a lot gonna be a baller - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY - -Thanks again BShark

Ok , so I guess I'm missing something. Help me friends. Could be wrong but just seems to me with what we have committed for NEXT year Clemmons , & KJ Adams plus others we will have - -seems like our front court would be good. Having said that this is why I'm commenting.

KU is one of seven schools prioritizing 6'10 Jai Smith from the word of God North Carolina - -has 35 offers or interest I guess , other schools are Alabama , Georgia , Houston , Illinois , Marquette , & Memphis. - -off the 247 site it shows Ku & Maryland listed as warms on his Schools of Interest.

So my question is & again it says we are prioritizing him - -my question would be WHY ? - -I just think it would be more important for the backcourt - -I would think we should be fine up front. - - Am I missing something ?

ya have to agree with that. - There just has to be some other tape that shows different agree, for that many schools to offer or be interested. - Another thing though is too we seem to already have what we need for that spot frontline, think we should be ok I just feel we need the help more in the back court 2 guard PG's and such but ya I agree with you on those points.

Now if we got both to reclass and come here then that's something to be hopeful on. However young backcourts often have a ton of growing pains here, especially developing chemistry.

6'2 PG from Utah , says this about KU. - -Has been talking to Kurt Townsend every week. That's a GREAT relationship been building ever since he was a kid because of my DAD. It's going well with them for sure. - -Sounds interesting for sure. had been some talk about him re-classifying TO 2021 BUT he says he is going to stay with 2022 saying he thinks if he was going to re-classify to 2021 he would of announced it by now.

Said he could be cutting his list down relatively soon. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Shooting form looks good. From what I looked at, not what I'd consider an above the rim guy or super explosive athlete. But I wouldn't turn my nose up. Good dexterity with both hands.

Has a younger brother Mikai may be the real target...

Carrington has good form but not an explosive athlete by any means. I don't see PG from the videos I watched either..

Ku showing interest in 4 star PG Tre Holloman. They haven't offered but noted increased contact. Athletic guard at 6'1, good quickness and can shoot it. Prides himself as being a good on-ball defender. Really one KU should get involved with..

I’ve kind of forgotten about him. Oops. I don’t think they’re pushing as hard for a reclass now given we get free agency this off-season and the covid waiver situation. Might be just as well off leaving him on ice for another year. Might not want 3 freshmen combo guards on the roster next year.

Bossi's article today

Gradey Dick

247Sports rank in 2022: 43.

Who is involved/analysis: Back in late December, four-star small forward Gradey Dick cut his list down to a final eight of Alabama, Baylor, Florida, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma State, Purdue and Texas Tech. He is a skilled wing with very good positional side, some mid-range game, good athleticism and he understands how to play with other very good players. Some stuff needs to shake out with him, but most involved seem to understand that it is going to take a really strong effort on the recruiting trail to pull Dick out of his home state and away from the Jayhawks.

The prediction: Kansas.

Confidence level: 7

"Some stuff", aka Nike steering him to Baylor...

Seems like KU's in a good spot for Aidan Shaw, #68 ranked kid from the KC area.

One school that Shaw is very familiar with is Kansas. The Jayhawks are close to home, and it is a program that has shown him significant attention.

“Their message to me is that I am a top priority player for them,” said Shaw of Kansas. “They tell me that they would be recruiting me no matter where I am from, and that is something I like. Kansas treats me like a top priority and are always willing to show me a lot of attention.”

but as I get older and talk to coaches more, I am focusing on development. My ultimate goal is to play in the NBA, so along with a family feel, I want to go to a place that develops their players and will help me accomplish my dream.”

Hard to predict what Shaw will be at the next level. He's got a nice perimeter shot which is nice to see on a 6'8 prospect. Not an explosive athlete (like Mitchell) and doesn't appear to be quick enough or have the ball handling skills to be a wing here. More in the Jalen Wilson Hybrid 4 role but with more of a post player body. His HS team looks terrible from videos

Baylor insider thinks they are slow playing the 22 class due to how many underclassmen they have + the dynamic of the free year/transfer free agency market that's going to happen this year. Plus Baylor has ascended to a level where they can pick and choose who they want. They have capitalized on KU's issues with the NCAA. Long story short is, they can get better players funneled to them then Gradey..

All this talk about Baylor! we will see if they can sustain success and continue to add top 25 ranked guys. He’s had talented classes before and they’ve been good but not great. Drew got lucky virtually all of the fringe nba level guys he had stayed and ku lost a guy like Devon.KU is a top 5 team, if not drafted, Devon stayed! Grady dick is a top 50 player, and someone that would stay 3-4 years. If we add consistent top 75 guys we will be fine. Also the moment this ncaa thing resolves, which I would assume by this summer we will know. There little recruiting advantage disappears, unless we really get hit for 3-4 years on reduced scholarships and tourney bans

We shall see they are likely to lose the 3 guards after the season. They do have an outstanding class coming in, Love and Brown are as good as advertised and the Polish kid is a stretch 4 type with high upside. Flagler will step in next yr and score a ton. They will hit the transfer market hard and find something that and likely will add more highly ranked HS talent. I think this yr is it as far as championship potential goes but they will be a force going forward due to how they are recruiting

@FarmerJayhawk no doubt. And Dick is still young, he is going to get even bigger. He can penetrate at will, and even go ball deep at the rim. His ball skills are more than good, and he will get longer the more that he plays.

Cuffe should be 50-ish just based on his athleticism. Really increasing the athleticism so far with the commits in 22. Gradey is absolutely no slouch in that regard.

Names to keep a close eye on: Aidan Shaw, Jayden Epps

Dream, probably unobtainable: Richard Isaacs JR, Rylan Griffen, Bryce Griggs

I absolutely LOVE Noah Shelby's game and think he is underrated but he appears to actually be going through the whole package deal thing with Dort. Odds are Vandy or Memphis. Don't think KU has the, ahem, bidding capability to win that one.

jayballer67

Mar 04, 2021 03:15 AM #450

Ok so someone please tell me different if I'm wrong on this but I think I got this right but feel free. The way I understand this stands because of this extra year ok so, we are in the 2020/21 year right now. which means Grady is STILL 2 seasons away right ? - -this is the 20/21 season , then w have the 2021/22 season then Grady in the 2022/2023 season right ? I think everyone maintains their current classifcation right ? Cause Mitch coming back as a SR - -again

I think EVERYONE comes back the same as this year. - - So I think if that's the case I would have this figured right.

How about this for roster ; - -Christian Braun being a JR - -Harris a Soph - - Jalen a Soph ( I think Jalen sticking for at least the 3 years ) - Bryce Thompson would be a Soph , David McCormack would be a SR- - Kyle Cuffe a FR - - Grady Dick as a FR - - Zach Clemence a Soph - - -& KJ Adams would be a Soph - that's a pretty salty Roster - - -I'm pretty sure that's right love that roster

Mar 04, 2021 03:54 PM #460

A moment for all of us to feel really old

But an encounter with former Jayhawk Wayne Selden Jr., when Dick was real young, solidified his love of all things KU.

“He was working some basketball camp I was at when I was in elementary school,” Dick recalled. “And the next time I went to a KU game I saw him and he remembered me and commented on my Instagram post.”

He did not realize in the moment, but those types of encounters led to Wednesday night and made Dick want to follow in the former Jayhawks’ footsteps.

The dude is going to star at KU. I'm trying to think of who he might remind me of, but haven't been able to come up with any comparisons yet. I've heard the Braun comparisons and there are worse people to be compared to if you're a player, but I think he's more skilled and athletic than Braun. What is he 6'8 and only a junior? Kyle Singler? The guy has handles to, could probably play point if need be. Dick and Cuffe, I'm starting to love this class.

Well I see where we are in pretty thick on a 2022 recruit. - - 6'9 SF out of Bull City NC Jai Smith. - Looking to make a decision in April after visiting the Schools he is interested in.

The 5 he lists is : - - -Memphis - - Fla , - - - Houston - - - Illinois - - - & KU : - -broke down all five said this about KU :

KU could help me be more of a Pro. Coach's think I can be a Great , Great player as a stretch Big that can shoot the ball.

Think KU could be in a really good spot if they truly are interested, he speaks pretty solid about KU. You go to 247 and in his top 5 Schools of interest it Shows Maryland & KU as Warm others on there Cool, yet in his article he doesn't mention Maryland - -so who knows. I think when they list those 5 schools of interest on the 247 - -those are early things change BUT KU is mentioned in both area's - -we will see

Top 15 PF Kijani Wright of Los Angeles California said over the weekend KU one of 5 programs recruiting him the hardest. More importantly he's playing on an Adidas grassroots team

One of the best rebounders in the high school game, Kijani Wright was tenacious on the glass in his first spring grassroots showing. Controlling the boards is a priority for him as he fully utilized his massive frame and played with great aggressiveness when battling inside. He is a high volume rebounder and smart player with good hands, footwork, and activity level who projects as a productive frontcourt force to be reckoned with for a winning program.

Recruitment: The top ten nationally ranked prospect says Arkansas, Kansas, Stanford, UCLA, and USC are the programs recruiting him the hardest.

Kansas: “Coach Bill Self reached out to me after reopening my recruitment and that meant a lot to me since he's the head coach and a legendary coach. They have a great coaching staff and they told me they love how I play and would love for me to be a part of their program. I watch them a lot and I feel like their guards control the pace of the game well but can also mix it up and get up the floor. They also use a lot of ball screens and let their guards play a lot.”

From what he said in the piece that was written , sure sounds like as of right now KU is in a good spot - -solid spot anyways. I guess almost sounds like it made a pretty big impression on him when KU re-offered after he pulled out of Providence.

He said he wasn't really in a big hurry as he wanted to see who else might be involved , but I like our chances , see if we can get him on Campus for a visit which I think WE WILL , were in a pretty decent spot as of right now anyways - we will see

@FarmerJayhawk I like Roy. He won what two championships at UNC? And while not winning one for us he did get us to four Final Fours and recruited his ass off while here. People forget, we were on probabtion when he took over. And from year one on, he coached his ass off. I'll never forget the class that he showed when we smacked his team in the Final Four, yet he wore Jayhawk gear in the stands as we were winning the National Championship against Calipari and Memphis.

Definitely a KU/Illinois battle based on the article Bossi ran. NC St seems like they are 3rd. UConn rounds out the 4 he's really into. Says relationships will matter the most. Illinois has already landed two guards in 22. Maybe he'll see more PT opportunity with KU with the Martin/Agbaji/Coleman-Lands moving on after the season

Interesting little Article the KC Star ran with Gary Bedore. They was talking with Coach Self - - he mentioned our two commits so far and said we were in what he felt good position on a couple of others, and hoping to sign a couple more in the next Month or so.

He said KU he was hoping for or would have 5 available for 2022 Season. with the Graduation of McCormack ,Agbaji , Cam Martin , Remy Martin , & Lands so 5 or possibly more if any possible transfers.

Then he was talking about the filling of the Asst Coach and thought he would name the Coach by the end of the Month. - - Said Jeremy Case had been doing an outstanding job - - job probably no surprise - Jeremy will be moved to full time asistant.

Kinda got the feel they were after bigger fish at the guard spot. Especially it’s not a massive need. Still bring back Harris, Yesufu, Cuffe, and Pettiford. Self has been a barnacle on Keyonte George lately

Aug 10, 2021 04:23 PM #752

Watching MJ Rice, I see a lot of Wayne Selden in his game right now. Very athletic, can shoot a bit, but needs improvement there, handle is adequate, but not as tight as it needs to be. He has a good nose for the ball and could be a high level defender if he commits to that end because of his athleticism. He's strong and he's a worker, but some of the plays he makes now with his strength are not going to work in college when he faces that next level of strength and development. He's a good rebounder for his size, to the point I almost just want to say he's a good rebounder.

His shot is going to need some work. He's a bit of a slow load on the shot, which won't work at the college level. I can't tell if that's just him not being 100% comfortable with his mechanics, or if it's something else. I need to watch him some more on that.

His handle is the other issue. He can't really create on his own right now because his handle is behind his athleticism. He can't be as quick as he would like to be because he isn't as good a ball handler as he needs to be. He's not a bad ball handler, but he's probably not a secondary ball handler at this point. He's strictly a wing right now.

I'd put him as a Wayne Selden with pre-injury athleticism, and a bit of Mario Little added in from a strength standpoint.

MJ Rice looks like another Seldon/Grimes/Andrew White. Big, thick guards who may or may not also be explosive. Tough to tell if guys like this will be a success because they use their size so well in high school.

Good points. The article pretty much implied that he is a great rebounder with a nose for the ball, a Vital-like undersized power forward. I think that he is going to play for us, he wants to go to college for a year. NIL is a game changer.

Interesting. Not holding my breathe on him playing here just yet. We'll see. If he does that's a big time pickup. Hope our NIL game is strong

ya I'm trying to remain optimistic on him actually showing. -A LOT of time before he shows on campus. A LOT of things can happen between now and then.

Love how they say how well he is but and how he loves contact , spends alot of time at the line. - -Loves posting smaller guys but yet durable enough where he can clean the glass and still lead the break plus hits the outside J pretty consistently. - -Highest ranked recruit I think they said we have had since Grimes.

A Lot of time before it's time for him to actually come.

He also mentioned he had always dreamed of going to a School like KU. - Again we will see , but for now - -great news. Who knows MAYBE he will take the year at KU and get that Coaching and improve, no way even if he comes he is here for over a year. -I'll take it anyways

Here is just another example with players of MJ Rice caliber - -why don't get to hyped up on him YET till he is actually on Campus and attending class.

The what is rated as the # 2 PG in the Nation the # 8 rated overall player in the nation according to 247 sports Jazian Gortman , will NOT attend College and has just signed a ONE year deal with Overtime Elite worth 650,000 dollars. How can Colleges compete with deals like that ?

Sharing from a post I read like the poster said - -sure we have the NIL for players now , that will help off set some BUT with a player thinking about committing to a School comes with commitment to attend classes. This thing will start to snowball and your going to see more and more players like this go the route straight to Overtime or G league.

Overtime still remains an option for MJ and just think we need to keep an open mind and realize he is not here set in stone yet. - Don't get me wrong I want him here but just not sold yet - -alot of time before he is here - like Farmer said 10 months - -these pro league can dangle A LOT of money in front of MJ before it's time for him to be here. 650,000 for ONE YEAR to him would be really tempting.

Seems like we have went from where these kids had virtually nothing no way to have some money to the other extreme as to where now they hold all the cards with the NIL & these pro leagues willing to throw money at them like this - -it might get bad talent wise for the Colleges if this thing really starts to roll - - remember RJ Hampton ? - lock for KU and look what happens - -money talks loud to kids real loud

BeddieKU23

Aug 11, 2021 03:49 PM #788

Yeah definitely a concern Rice could take a better deal somewhere but for now he is committed and that at least is something. Gortman didn't commit anywhere before taking that deal. KU will presumably be able to be in his ear about staying the College route...

That's where KU and Bill/staff is going to have to figure out how to enhance these kids opportunities with the NIL. Can't just sell tradition, KU brand, KU reputation anymore to these 5 star types. Self is going to have to in my opinion step outside his character box and make KU the most attractive option.

Just play ball. - -But I agree with you too my friend he committed so that's something even if it's just a verbal but better then a kick in the pants , like you said Staff still gonna have to stay on him till then.

And that is where it becomes a different game. Coaches just to get players are going to have to also be half-assed agents. Saban and Dabo get it, Young and the guy with the first name DJ 😏 (yeah, I'm being lazy again) raking it in - ESPN (imagine that, considering that they televise the four team playoff) even promoting those two schools on the bottom line.

I support the ruling, but it is definitely a work in progress. KU is going to have to rely on Wichita and KC or owners with ties to KU for contracts.

Time will tell, but when top programs like KU get their NIL programs running to the fullest I can't imagine that players aren't making close to that.

The key will be that they can offer solid money plus an education. The mistake before was trying to argue that the education alone was worth passing up millions of dollars (hint: it wasn't). But if you can offer a guy $200,000 or so per year plus education and training, that's not bad.

The key is to make the college route competitive. That will be a challenge because obviously these pro opportunities can offer something similar (partnering with a University of Phoenix or similar for online courses) but that is probably still a ways out, though it could come together quickly.

BeddieKU23

College bb will still be around, lower echelon players move into the ranks, the competition isn't quite as high but it all levels out in the end.

He's not bad at all, a lot of size for the guard/wing position. Not a huge fan of his jump shot but he seems to make them. Ranked #35 so obviously talent there. Need a big class either through guys like this or through the portal so this is a good offer

BShark

Aug 23, 2021 11:47 AM #843

Looks like this will be a huge class. Biggest priority should be adding a guy to play the 5 spot but you take talent where you can get it. I think 35 is probably too high but he has some decent tools.

Dave isn't an NBA prospect and is eligible to come back next in 2022-23. I would say at this point there's a pretty solid chance he comes back next season because KU is still going to be absolutely loaded next season as well regardless of whether MJ Rice ever sets foot on campus. A starting line up in 22-23 with Harris, Yesufu, Dick, Clemence, and McCormack is going to be one of the best in the country next season. If Rice does come, then swap Rice for Clemence because I think Rice would be the 4 over Dick in that line up as Self would go small ball.

Have always found it kind of interesting when I hear people talk about Bill not being able to recruit top ranked players , talking about why can't he be more like Calipari. Calipari always getting loaded classes.

That's very true , he does BUT Calipari doesn't do really anymore then Self in the same length of time with those top notch players. stats pretty much sum that up. Since the year of 2000 Kentucky has been to two NCAA title games. One in 2012 ( this being the year he beat Bill ) and then in 2014 when he lost. - - So since 2000 the Great Cal has been to TWO title games and since 2000 Calipari & Kentucky has won ONE NCAA title.

Since 2000, KU has been to THREE NCAA Title games , yes true Bill only accounts for TWO ( same as Cal ) & yes Bill also has a 1-1 record in those Championship games , Beating Cal in 2008 when he was at Memphis & losing to Cal in 2012 while at Kentucky.
So in reality Cal has don actually ZERO better then Bill and that is with all that superior talent that Bill can't recruit. Cal constantly landing top ranked or Top 2-3-4-5 ranked classes .So what does that say ? - Cal does less with more talent ?- Could Bill have won more Championships with that talent ? - -Who knows ? - Thing is Calipari has done exactly nothing more then Bill during his time at Kentucky then Bill has i his time at KU

Plus PLEASE don't try and throw out feeble reasoning saying WELL CALIPARI has been to the final four more then Bill. AND ? tell me is that the goal ? - is to reach the final four ? - -is that a teams goal at the beginning of the year ? -- ummmm NO. - - it's to win the NCAA title. , not make the final four - - Calipari has ONE and Coach has ONE - -yet Calipari consistently lands the top tier better talent. So you tell me Calipari really a better Coach ? - -Nope not at all , could mean actually Bill does a better job with the kids he gets then Calipari does with the talent he gets. -Just kind of amusing to me to hear people bitch about Bill

Met the coaching staff, said the culture is like one-of-a-kind. In general he had a great visit.

I am starting to agree with some posters, that we're going to have to wait and snag us a big from the transfer portal. With the players that we will have coming back and those coming in, it will already be a pretty deep frontcourt.

BeddieKU23

Sep 24, 2021 02:58 PM #932

Losing Lightfoot & Martin for sure. Dave will have the option to come back but I wouldn't call it likely if he has a big season. Wilson is a 50/50 call at this time too.

Clemence & Adams are left. Zuby is committed.

3 definitely, 4 or 5 possibly if things "worked out". Could be crowded or attractive for a high level transfer/available HS big. Have to think experienced Vet given how young the 3 will still be.

Kansas: "I talk to Kurtis Townsend. Kansas has always been my dream school and I want to visit to get a feel for their culture. Bill Self is obviously a legendary coach. There is a lot of history there and I want to be around that to see what it feels like."

Now a Composite 5 star. ESPN recently made him the 7th best prospect. Will Visit KU this month.

Has visited Texas (I believe they are the favorite for him), Arizona St, Memphis with Arkansas still in it. KU could be his final visit.. Let's see where this one goes. Would make KU the #2 class in the country with Walsh aboard.

Ok, let me preface this by saying yes I'm sure almost evert Schools fans have people that scroll other teams message boards. I know we do cause I know I do but I'm sure there are many more. So I fully understand and get that before I say what I'm gonna say here. My thing is when I troll UK'S board I'm truly geniunely interested in seeing what their posters are saying about their possible recruits , how their season they feel is going to play out so on and so on - -BUT I'm gonna say this straight out

Kentucky fans have such a huge paranoia of KU Basketball it is just insane. Like today I went their to check their status with Bona , and many think he is headed to UCLA , how they lost out on him because of the way Calipari handled thing s but even better I SWEAR TO GOD I read THREE posters just at the blink of the hat talking about KU lmao. - I got confused is this a Kentucky fan page OR is it the KU message board.

Talking about late night at the phog - talking about hell I can't remember right off the top of my head but other posters with the lead of KU. Talking about their all time wins and what they have to do about keeping KU from catching them and our little cheating ways. - just find it very funny how post after post is about KU instead of their own team. - -Again I know we do it too but still the posts they have are incredible

Same. A HS class of Dick, Zuby, Rice, and Udeh would be very, very good. Maybe take a transfer wing or guard if you want an extra veteran.

A lineup of Harris, Yesufu, Braun, Rice, and Udeh makes me very happy. Udeh is a legit anchor at the 5, where Zuby is more skilled and obviously Clemence can fire away from deep. And the depth is still there with Dick, Zuby, Clemence, Adams, Pettiford, and Cuffe

Dick, Zuby, Rice and Udeh, great class! And we'll add a transfer or two, I am quite sure. Things are back on track, perhaps the staff and university knows a bit more about the nerverending NCAA battle than they let on.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, will we get punished? Yeah, they'll give us something just for GP, but it won't - because it can't - be too severe.

I agree we'll add a transfer or two to get more experience on the team. I expect to see up to 7 spots available. 4 definite leaving, McCormack, Ochai have another year but I don't expect that happens. Wilson is the wildcard. Hopefully KU can make a good deal for him to stick around. He would likely be the leader of that team.

Marco

Oct 14, 2021 05:24 PM #1019

@BeddieKU23 that would be great if Wilson came back, but unless he just has a bust season (and I don't think he will) there is no way that he's coming back.

Here is some of Jerry Meyers scouting report of Udeh : Runs rim to rim , Dangerous offensive rebounder , Tremendous Physique , Best attributes Rebounding & Shot Blocking. Would be a HUGE addition to either KU or UCLA. -& 7'2 wingspan. - -Meyer say he best compares Udeh with former Indiana player and current NBA player Thomas Bryant.

Ok guys let me say this. Now I know I'm in the real and I mean real slim minority here that's ok I don't mind. I know in the real world the chances of this happening next to none - -in reality even less then that I'm sure. BUT let me live out my dream , my make believe pretend and just hear me out ok ?

Miller visiting KU this weekend is HUGE and I do mean HUGE. - the # 12 ranked player in the Country nothing but upside , seen so many clips - - just smooth as smooth can be , Now original he had cut KU from his original 8 along with Kentucky , Florida , & Tennessee BUT added us a College THE ONLY COLLEGE he added back - he didn't add Kentucky Back , He didn't add Florida back , He didn't add Tennessee back - -JUST KU. ok , ok , Again I get it guys BUT.

WHY ? - - WHY ? Why after cutting us were the only ones added back on. - -Myself I think someone from the KU staff has him at least curious/some what interested. call it what you want. Thing is from the article I read he had been a heavy lean as to going straight pro most of the Summer according to analysts Now a few including Joe Tipton of on 3 .com feel very strongly he is going to play College Ball.

Here are some things that was said in the Article : His Dad said he really wants to see how Coach Self and Staff interacts with the players. Wanting this and the fact that KU is the only New addition to his recruitment and that Millers desire to visit KU this weekend puts KU in a favorable position entering this Weekend.

Prior Alabama was the only School with any CB's and that was in September , not surprising they were the only one's with CB's considering the other College was Tennessee State.

His Dad said and( think about this statement for a minute before you brush it off ) His dada said Bringing KU back in was a long thought out process. - -Think about that. After all this time and elimanting KU after all this time THEY decide to bring KU BACK into the recruiting process ? - - - WHY ? - -WHY would they do that at this point in time unless someone has at least peaked the kids interest to a degree, it just doesn't make any sense if he is at least not some what interested. - - WE were the only College he brought back and his dad saying that and then you have this : His dad says WE could of EASILY reopened recruiting BUT no listen BUT we ONLY wanted to learn more about KU. - - -ONLY WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KU - - - Hmmmm WHY ? what's there to learn if your not interested ? - -why waste your time ? - -KUs time ?- - Could of re-opened the recruiting but only added KU - is let's at least say curious/a little interesting

Again I know I'm crazy maybe someone gave me one to many shots of tequila or whatever and it's a wild dream - -BUT - -WHAT IF - -just WHAT IF ? - -MERCY I know but hey crazier things have happened we have the right to that dream don't we. lol - - have a great day guys -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark if we start bigtime recruiting a player who while not even close to the same but somewhat fitting Rice's skillset, then we'll know without anyone even giving any inside info that he is not going to step foot on caampus.

Agree, we need to be on our game just for GP, never against people making money. ...

Other side of the coin, the big-trunked elephant in the room though? How do you keep certain players engaged when they are already millionaires, but not yet able to enter the draft?

Case in point (I know, not basketball related), Spencer Rattler. He went from being Rattler to just flat out Rattled, and he was the pre-season Heisman frontrunner and projected #1 overall NFL draft pick. Caleb Williams, a highly coveted true freshman who didn't even play high school ball last year, has made him look totally pedestrian. Why?

I know, Williams was this year's number one qb recruit out of high school, is the real deal and has to start - bigtime talent, OU flows with him at the helm. But Rattler was also a number one duel-threat qb recruit coming out of high school, and is a 3rd year sophomore and OU flowed with him last year - totally shellacking Florida in their bowl game.

He is now a shell of his former self. Why? What, he suddenly couldn't stand the spotlight and or crumbled with newfound competition? Naw, I say he lost his edge due to being fat, dumb and happy, and it did not do him any favors. To the transfer portal Rattler comes, because at this point it is a stretch - a couple months ago he was the projected #1 overall pick on Mel Kiper's big board - for him to even be selected in the first round. I wouldn't burn a 1st round pick on him, sure wouldn't.

Prediction - high school football recruits will soon ask, "why can we make millions from NIL but not be able to enter the NFL draft?" Not a big NFL fan anyway, the product sucks when compared to college ball, ditto the NBA (btw, I don't make decisions or rules, just a guy who pans through crap).

The one and done rule in basketball will soon go the way of the dodo too, undoubtedly. It only benefits the NBA it tries to protect an already shitty and too young product, and once OAD is tossed the league will be even more young and shitty, but oh well - I will not give one let alone two farts in its defense.... If a product is sound it will stand on its own, if not let it fall.

Agree I saw this as well somewhere else. It was a gamble taking his commitment but I think for recruiting purposes it was beneficial to have a 5 star type player as the headliner at least until he really decides what he's doing. Sounds as if him working on his body (getting more lean) & working on some parts of his game (jump shot) has him looking like a potential g-league/prof option after the upcoming year. If all else fails then he goes to KU I guess for a year.

Now I saw some of his first and 3rd games that showed him playing better then I saw against Virginia Gold. Saw that he averaged 21.3 ppg during that tourney that had lots of talent there. He's definitely a physically imposing player at this level. KU would benefit getting him for sure. He's in that mold of Henry/Oubre/Wiggins/Selden esque wings that come here and produce as freshman. We'll see what happens.

He's got to have a 7'2 or more wingspan. Evident when he gets up there for dunks that he's got some reach to him. More natural athlete at the basket then McCormack. The lob, rebounding, rim protection and ability to dunk are things that will translate for him. With development on his footwork and refining his skills in the post he's going to be a Bill Self favorite if he sticks around

Last I heard/read on Juby today was could very likely play small 5 ball , Zuby has a High Motor , Powerful , Explosive & Ultra Agressive.

@rockchalkwyo Don't think Rice sticks (hurrr) but it is nice to see recruiting back.

I completely agree. As you said awhile back, the Death Star is back in operation.

Last two classes needed to be awesome, and they are with time to go in the current one.

Had to make up for 2020 which is already all gone. Not terribly surprising given there was a JUCO and a D2 level guy involved but man, I thought Bryce was going to be good.

I did too. But I think he's going to be overseas bound professionally. Ditto Grimes (I know, someone wasted a pick on him), who I thought would be a star. If I remember right @Texas-Hawk-10 called it, on Grimes.

BShark

Oct 21, 2021 01:23 AM #1101

I think Grimes would have been fine/okay at KU had he stuck it out. Like his JR year would have been pretty good. There were definitely some warning signs there, a guy on the 247 board was a bit down on him, basically predicted his FR stats pretty close to exactly and got a lot of crap for it at the time.

BeddieKU23

Oct 21, 2021 12:48 PM #1105

@Oldmanhawk

I couldn't find a good comp for Udeh from past KU post players. Some of the things he does well now remind me of Doke (dunks, defense). The long wingspan as well. Jerry Meyer said he reminded him of Thomas Bryant (Former Indiana Hoosier, current NBA player)

BeddieKU23

Oct 21, 2021 12:53 PM #1106

You love to see it. How does Udeh project as a defender? Is he a shot-blocking type player?

He projects well as a defender. Scouting reports on him note his rebounding/shot blocking are currently his best attributes. Jr year averaged just under 10 boards and 2 blocks a game. Saw a few articles he's not only a good weak side rim protector but he'll let offensive players get into him without fouling then wait and time blocking shots so definitely sounds like he has some skill there. I'd love to know his official wingspan cause he appears to have a 7'2 or higher. I've seen it mentioned he has a 7'2. Love his upside

The first two years I wouldn't expect anything being Self creating angles for him to get dunks and clean up put backs. Might not evolve much beyond that at all, but that still would make him a damn good college player if he is an elite defensive piece.

jayballer67

Oct 21, 2021 02:40 PM #1109

Found this off Rivals site this morning on his commit thought I'd share what they said : - - this was on what they said KU was getting in Udeh.

A guy that plays even bigger then his massive frame due to his wingspan. Not just a bully under the glass , possesses plus athleticism which he uses in the post , and when it comes to impacting games on the glass. Says Ernest was a walking Double , Double this summer , some finesse around the bucket finishes with both creativity and regularity. Is a willing defende and Udeh's size and athleticism allows him to change and block shots.

What Udeh said about KU : - - You can tell that the fan base really loves the players. It is really a blessing , because everyone knows they are a big time school and for me to be getting that kind of recognition is really an honor. - - -I think we are going t like this guy - - like him a lot

BeddieKU23

Oct 21, 2021 03:53 PM #1110

From unranked to Top 30 in 6 months says a lot about his development. Seems like his offense is starting to take off to round out his other skills. Sounds like he's got a jump hook but will need to develop more post moves. He's coming to the right place to maximize that

jayballer67

Oct 21, 2021 05:40 PM #1111

Well think that's a wrap for our recruiting for 2022 for High School kids anyways. I just have this feel we will be active in the Portal again We gonna be losing let's see Probably Jalen , Oachi David , Remy , & who else - - know there is more. Portal will have a surplus of transfers again

jayballer67

Oct 21, 2021 06:01 PM #1112

Some more opinion from various people on Udeh. - - saying Ernest is Dangerous offensive rebounder , quality rim protector on defense , engaged on that end and controls space as a rebounder.

A few negatives brought out - - Tends to play upright , needs to refine his footwork , not a ball handler , and not a shooter from distance. - -These things are fixable over time. KU has been good with developing Bigs - -look at David as a Freshman to David as a Senior - - - -BShark thoughts how long - -I think he is a three year player maybe four - - your thoughts. I think pretty sure bet he is three unless he develops faster, he has come on to the scene pretty quick though. Whatcha think ?

Had to edit found some more saying Udeh - - plays mean , runs the floor , protects the rim at a high level ( THAT I LIKE ) STRONG RIM PRESENCE. cleans the glass , and has really picked things up on the offensive. - - I think we are gonna like this guy

Man If only I was smarter with computers. Just got through watching an 1:07 minute innerview with Udeh from Zach Schuz Schuzmaker from the site Kansas Jayhawk Basketball Recruiting and fan page.

I'm telling ya this kid has class written all over him , what an innerview. - -Wish I knew how to share it here. I got it off my face book. -I know people would like it.

One thing thought was pretty funny , Zach was asking Udeh about telling Coach he was coming to KU> -Said he called Coach Self and said Did Lawrence have some really good Pizza places cause Pizza is his favorite food. Coach says well ya we have some good places , and Ernest say well I'm going to know where they are cause I'm coming to KU - Coach says What ? Are you serious man lmao.

Udeh is KU's 25th highest recruit in history talked about going from being unranked when he got his 1st offer and thinking how he might get 5-10 more then 6 months later getting 2-3 offers a day. Going from one offer to over 40 offers. - wish I could bring that hear so you could listen. -lots of interesting stuff on there

@mayjay Yeah while rankings are nice, they are not the end all be all. You also see guys like Svi and Frank near the bottom of the list, both were of course great Jayhawks.

To that end, I really think Bobby and Udeh in particular are tremendously good fits for Self, but we will see.

Marco

Oct 25, 2021 05:06 PM #1127

@BShark and alot of those guys had red flags before even coming. With all that is going on (and Self and the program will survive it), I think that - and he already is, imo - Coach is going to be a hell of alot more particular when it comes to signing guys. We are Kansas, can get quality athletes while still having standards.

I am not a big fan anymore of early enrollees for example, it begs for discrepancies. And I'm not knocking Cuffe, just think that alot of schools are cooking the books and we need to be cautious is all.

2022 Too Early Lineup?

PG: Juan/ Pettiford
SG: Braun / Yesufu
SF: Rice / Dick
PF: Wilson? KJ?
C: Clemence? KJ? Udeh?

Really think it'll be interesting to see how the post shakes out. Definitely will have the bodies in 2022. Udeh and Zuby will look lost at times, but they both bring a physical presence. KJ is probably the best athlete out of the bunch. Clemence has the BBIQ and skill none of the other 3 will have.

Gut feeling tells me we see Cam, Yesufu and Cuffe in different uniforms next season.

So I feel good about being 2 deep at PG. But they should probably look for a 3rd ballhandler. If Braun does play his way into the draft (looking more likely by the day) then I think you'll see maybe a late signing or a high-end transfer add.

I am betting on Wilson being back. We will have the scholarships available and quite frankly unless he just goes on an absolute tear he should come back.

Dec 08, 2021 05:59 PM #1191

I think Jalen is gone one way or another. Either he improves and tries to get drafted or continues to be bad and transfers. He has been close to leaving every off-season, really hard to see him back again.

Barring any high impact additions...

Guard rotation: Dajuan, Bobby, Yesufu (Cuffe is still a year away, I think he can be good due to his athletic ability but basketball wise he is last on the depth chart right now. Hard to keep players while not playing them 2 years in this day and age. Would love to see him be a developmental success story at KU tho)

Wing rotation: CB, Rice, Dick (if Rice doesn't show up, I would imagine this spot is filled by a transfer)

Big rotation: Zach, Zuby, Udeh

I'm a Zuby truther. I loved the offer when it happened, didn't even think we could land him. Great athlete, good size, fluid movement, offensive skill set improving. Udeh is similar to Udoka/KJ in that he has no real skill set to speak of offensively but his advantages and path to playing time are due to him being 4-5'' taller than KJ and a guy that can eat up shots at the rim.

@Kcmatt7 FWIW, I have heard Cuffe and KJ would be the candidates if space is needed. They like Yesefu and he has bought in and at least tries on defense (unlike a certain someone). The more likely thing than needing room is guys deciding to leave on their own. If what I posted ends up being the 9 man rotation more or less that is a pretty good team that will get most of it's scoring from the wings and starting center (Zach). The main worry is we would likely be playing 2 guards a lot, with none of them really being scorers yet (maybe Bobby or Yes come a long a bit in that regard).

BeddieKU23

Dec 08, 2021 06:54 PM #1192

No way Yesufu leaves, he already used the free transfer year so there's little incentive to leave and sit another year somewhere else. He knows there's a bigger role for him to earn next season.

Hopefully Braun is back to be the "guy". Didn't think I would be saying that but the way he's playing anything is on the table.

Wilson, what is there to say right now. He's not pro material as it stands so transferring is a real option if he continues to come off the bench. We'll see if his play improves and changes the narrative.

Cam is definitely a transfer candidate.

I don't see Cuffe/KJ going anywhere. Self is already losing so much after this year so these guys are needed. Unless you can get a 5 star prospect or a transfer difference maker I don't see either of them going anywhere if they are happy.

There will be so many unknowns next year. On and Off the court.

BShark

Dec 08, 2021 07:16 PM #1195

@BeddieKU23 the only reason I could really see Cuffe transferring is if he doesn't want to have 2 full years not really playing at all. Though I think he would have to take a step down to see pt, coaches will sell him on playing even if he wouldn't.

Marco

Dec 08, 2021 07:22 PM #1196

Starting lineup next year (what I think will be, not what I necessarily want)? I'll go with Zach at the 5 (muscle up, get a haircut to keep it out of your eyes), the rest hinges on Rice. If he's here, start him at the three with Braun an undersized 4 Yesufu at the point and Dick at the 2.

2nd 5 - Udeh, Martin, Zuby and Adams (I think he'll work on his ballhandling/shooting skills), Harris and or Pettiford.

The whole makeup of the team depends on three things. Will Braun be back and will Rice be on campus? And, ofcourse, who else do we get via the transfer portal?

BeddieKU23

Dec 08, 2021 07:23 PM #1197

Yeah and he's from the East Coast so distance from home can become a factor after you don't play for a year etc. I've said in the past the redshirt year does nothing to keep him here after this season now with the rules the way they are.

I'm absolutely pulling for Kyle to stick around so we can see what his defense and elite athleticism can do on the court.

I think with Self losing 6-8 kids he's going to push hard to keep all the freshman happy. You can't go into next year with just a few kids that know what they are doing.

BShark

Dec 08, 2021 07:24 PM #1198

I just don't see Yesufu really cracking the rotation for big minutes next year either. This is his 3rd season in D1 CBB and he's getting beat for minutes by Pettiford. Harris has more eligibility left than Yesufu too. There is no way for Yesufu to start at KU the way it looks today.

Why would he stay?

Yesufu after this year is 3x2 since he hasn't used his redshirt year yet. But I don't think he's going anywhere. If it's me, I'm going Pettiford Yesufu Braun Rice Udeh/Clemence. I don't think Gradey will be quite ready to guard at KU level yet. Yesufu is almost there now.

Dec 09, 2021 02:26 AM #1207

@BShark Dude barely even saw 10 minutes against UTEP when we were up by 20+ basically the entire game AND Pettiford was out. Just not sure how he ever really gets into the rotation for 20+ minutes. If he doesn't get more run by the end of the year I don't know why he would stay when he could probably get 25+ minutes at two dozen P5 schools...

They helped Grimes get a waiver, I'm sure they would do the same for another guy.

BShark

Dec 09, 2021 02:58 AM #1208

@Kcmatt7 I'm wondering how he wouldn't get minutes next year. A year in the system and Remy's minutes become available. If we are looking at 80 minutes between Harris/Bobby/Yesufu I think he would get 20+. Of course if the staff were to add another guard all bets are off. And they might look into it because scoring would be an issue with that group.

ETA: Och's minutes become available too. A lot of PT to grab next year.

BeddieKU23

Dec 09, 2021 11:03 AM #1209

PT is there next year.

I'm not concerned about Yesufu as he's yet to get any consistent minutes off the bench. He became really good last year when he got comfortable with the ball in his hands and had to make plays. At KU right now his role is the polar opposite and he's learning what Self wants out of him. Unless his role changes where he can get consistent minutes I expect to see this up and down season from him. Self is not giving him any real chance to prove himself.

BeddieKU23

Dec 09, 2021 02:16 PM #1210

I get your thinking here with Yesufu. I think its still early to write him off though. My expectations for him coming in were high so I've been disappointed in his role so far. But I also haven't found anything to be discouraged at either because he's not getting opportunity.

Kcmatt7

Dec 09, 2021 02:59 PM #1211

@BShark If Rice comes and Braun stays you really only have 30 minutes from the bench. Bobby & Grady are going to eat up a good chunk of those minutes.

Kcmatt7

Dec 09, 2021 03:00 PM #1212

@BeddieKU23 I'm not worried about him being good or not. I'm just saying that unless he jumps someone (mainly Bobby) he isn't going to ever get the opportunity to prove himself here. So I don't know why he would stay.

BeddieKU23

Dec 09, 2021 03:10 PM #1213

These things have a way of working out. I see him squarely in the mix for 20+ minutes a game next year. Whether its a starting role or not I don't see him going anywhere especially since he'd have to sit a year if he left. Obv. kids get waivers but its hard to imagine him getting one currently. Also with the way this roster is shaping up for next season Self is going to want a veteran guard with experience in his system. This roster is going to be so young next season

Sounds like he's having a really good year!

Dick, a four-star Kansas signee, is a skilled, sizey and versatile wing. He's made a jump in his development over the last eight months and could make a jump in the rankings because of it.

He's playing with confidence, unphased whether shots are falling or not and has found other ways to impact the game regardless. His defense, rebounding, basketball IQ, athleticism and his experience playing at the highest levels of high school basketball is paying off for one of the top teams in the country.

You could argue he is the better option for college given that Traore will probably only play one year. Traore is a special talent though I could not believe he was unranked when Bill offered. Much better to secure Udeh than chased after Traore and lost. Past chasing examples include: Julius Randle, Matt Hurt.

Still think we should be after Bobbi Klintmann. Kid can really shoot it at his size. 6"8 with tools to work with.

And who out of Jalen Wilson, Christian Braun, Gradey Dick, MJ Rice, or Zuby Ejiofor is he better than? He's not a need and KU can find prospects like that in every class or the portal if they need that in a class.

I'm going to disagree with others that say KU needs another guard because unless someone transfers, KU's going to have 4 on the roster next season (Harris, Yesufu, Pettiford, and Cuffe). KU needs a low post player that can score because Udoh and Adams aren't offensive threats at all and Clemence is a face up player.

@Texas-Hawk-10

Out of the 4 guards you listed who do you trust to make a shot from anywhere. Limited bunch imo from what we have seen this yr. Cuffe being an unknown but film on him as a Sophomore was more of a defensive pest with elite athleticism.

If Jalen and Braun return then I agree he isn't a need. If one or both leave then it's a different discussion. Shown some really good shooting this year for Sunrise.

The best shooter on this team next yr could be a freshman which I'm not sure is a recipe for success

@Texas-Hawk-10 It's going to be very difficult to add a post player if the roster has Udeh, Zach, KJ, Zuby, Cam Martin and JWill. Just from a numbers perspective that is a lot of post players even if JWill is more of a perimeter post player/big guard. I wouldn't mind adding such a player, but I think it would require processing someone. That Bill didn't try to add this kind of player last off-season to give us anything behind Dave was somewhat baffling.

I do think JWill is still leaving though, from what I have heard.

Cuffe is at a minimum another year away. Will be interesting to see what he decides to do.

Bill talked about wanting to sign 5 in the fall and all the missed targets were guards and for the most part bigger guards. Seems to be something they are after we will have to see if it comes to fruition.

Believe that Braun will be back.

Hopefully continued development from Dajuan, Bobby and Joe. Bill definitely isn't benching Dajuan and sees Bobby as a big part of the future of the program so I do think we are rolling with those 3 as the rotation for the 2 guard spots.

Next year I think they will have to hang their hat on defense. Might take a bit to be good but I like the athletes we are bringing in.

I just don't think IF J alen does stay I just don't think you ever try to play him at the 5 - -just a really bad fit with his defense all your gonna do is get him a quick hook because of foul trouble and having to set and taking a scoring option away from us - -If Jalen does stay he needs to stay where he is much better we need point production and you not getting any benefit from him on either end of the court if you play him at the 5 - -foul trouble on the defensive end and have a hard time trying to score over the top of athletic bigs on the offensive end

I know I'm in the minority by far with Cam BUT I would really like to see him at least gt some kind of a chance next year .I know people say he isn't athletic enough but hell we got that problem now got talent but not that teir athlete - would love to see him pull opposition out of the lane stretch the floor - I know won't happen but wish they would at least give him a look. - - they finally gave Joe a look - -hell give Cam a legit chance /minutes a game turn him loose let him play - but anyway

I think you can get away with young big guys, as long as you have enough to survive foul trouble. Pretty sure we would trade Dave for Udeh and Mitch for Zuby today if it were possible. I don't think they need a vet in the post for next season.

BeddieKU23

Feb 10, 2022 04:37 PM #1294

Just on video out there I don't see how Adrame would factor in here next season. He's all development, redshirt etc likely wherever he goes.

I'm good with rolling with the collection of young bigs we have/have coming. Can't recruit that many Top 100 kids just to sit behind vets. Time for a change of the guard. Reminds me of the situation Self ran into when he had to trust Devon Dotson at PG. This situation in the post is that. Have to trust that the young guys will step up and there will be enough separation to create rotations

New home for elite international prospects in Arizona as expected. Their new HC was Gonzaga's international bag man for those that don't know or forgot.

If Diallo could shoot even slightly it would have happened with him too. I don't know how they didn't see this coming.

UK had an open scholarship and figured adding another NBA player to the checkbox was worth whatever they would spend on him. That is their recruiting pitch.

I get the natives are getting restless with recent Calamari results but literally 100 headlines I've seen since last fall about Sharpe going to Kentucky early and then going Pro. And he did exactly what he said he was going to do.. Hard to get mad about a player who never even put on the Jersey but I guess that's what they do

That is Mattress Mack, the guy who bet millions on KU winning the title. He owns a furniture store here and ran a promotion where if someone bought a $3000 or more mattress and KU won, you got it for free. He invited Self to Houston to meet the people who got free mattresses because of the promotion.

@Texas-Hawk-10 so is he a big KU guy? How many bought those?

No connection to KU. He just runs promotions like that several times a year and places huge bets as way to recoup money if the outcome results in a lot people getting free furniture. He's been doing this for years now, but Gaines national attention in 2017 when the Astros won their first World Series and he had to go to multiple sports books to bet millions on the Astros because of how much money was going to lose in giving away free furniture.

Just rewatched highlights of this class coming in. I cannot wait to add 3 dudes who can play above the rim... McDowell has a lot of Vick in him. I do think Johnson is going to struggle to score naturally. But Elmarko could be 18 ppg as a freshman so effortlessly. Has the handles and athleticism to dominate at the college level.
