I don't see KU on 2015 recruit Jalen Brunson's list, um...why?

6-2, 180 | Class of 2015
HometownLincolnshire, Ill.
SchoolAdlai E. Stevenson High School
PositionPoint Guard
Status Undeclared

Strengths:
Brunson is a lefty point guard that can run the team and keep the defense honest with his ability to shoot the ball from 3 on a consistent basis. He pushes the ball under control and makes pretty good decisions at high speeds and is an excellent open court passer

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't this sound like what we need going forward? Anyone? Bueller? HCBS? I guess KU is good at the pg position right now. We barely have Tharpe and Mason to back up...ok...I'm good with our current pg play right now.
The 2, 3, 4, and 5 are/will be solid, but the pg is the glaring problem. Fix the pg issue and our chances for a NC increase exponentially. Or will Self do the honorable thing and keep Tharpe at the pg for some odd reason? We'll have a repeat of EJ with Tharpe. I can only hope that Mason is Collins 2.0 going forward, because we'll need it at this point. Mason will hopefully take over completely his junior and senior years.

@truehawk93 I think you mean Jalen Brunson, not Munson.

Hard to say with recruiting. Maybe he was approached and we were told he has no interest in coming to KU. Maybe we are in on better prospects that Self has more confidence in, like Allonzo Trier who is 6'4" and about 10 spots better in the ESPN rankings (although ranked lower on rivals rankings, but who does have KU on his list).

It will be something to keep an eye on during the spring and summer, as kusports will have the occasional recruiting blurb in their articles. By the fall we should have a more clear picture on who the targets are for 2015. Until then, it's just too early to speculate.

@icthawkfan316 Likely to be combo guards that's being pursued. We really need a true pg, that's all I'm saying. I can hope there's a reasonable explanation. I'm just tired of being without a pg at this point watching the F4 teams with great pgs. Yes, thanks for the last name correction.

Trier sounds even better at 6-4. Hope it works out for HCBS and Co.
