Case has already landed some players. He will do just fine, I agree.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Brady Morningstar:

@BShark he had another coaching job, dork!

This is a step up was my point.

Had been waiting on that to drop.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Brady Morningstar:

@BShark not a fan. I thought he was coaching. With sherron in town he better stay out of trouble.

He is coaching. Looking to further his career, working under Bill will help.

To be named video coordinator. This has been in the works for awhile. I made a thread (/topic/10902) and deleted it awhile back because of other insinuations that could be drawn.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

If a Top 50 kid is getting over a million for 2 years to go pro its hard to imagine the NIL ever competing with that. Imagine the price for the cream of the crop kids. Dillon Mitchell, #28 was just offered 2 million for 2 years.

Kinda hard to see this league making money tbh.

Well, he is a pro right now. He signed a pro contract.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Looks like Bryce Griggs is going pro as well, high 4 star PG that KU was recruiting.

Not too surprised there, looked like KU and others had moved on.

It should be a choice to send your kid to school physically or do remote learning.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Memphis is out on the Livingston bros. Not sure where he lands.

Interesting! Don't think he fits at this point positionally with KU. Obviously a very good player but already bringing in 2 5* caliber players at the 3/4.

Maybe it will indeed be Overtime then.

Memphis or Overtime Elite for Livingston.

Not sure how OTE is going to make money tbh.

Rice is a North Carolina kid, just doing the prep school thing. He was at Oak Hill before PP. AAU connection helped here (Team Loaded which Frank and Dave played for).

Well, Frito-Lay can barely pay their own employees apparently.

@KirkIsMyHinrich Hmm, with Penny coaching...I dunno

Sharpe is going to Kentucky. Done just not announced.

@BeddieKU23 I know KU was kinda "laying low" for awhile after the NCAA crap (believe @FarmerJayhawk can confirm this) and if I had to guess given the recent recruiting uptick the deathstar is fully operational again.

@Woodrow said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

@BShark I saw where Duren's pro deal was 2M so FedEX really ponied up for him.

Hot damn.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

@jayballer67

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...

Plus the money can be better in college. Dariq Whitehead didn't turn down 500k from the Gleague to get less at Duke. Similar for Duren at Memphis I'm sure.

:eyes:

I see that he plays for Team Thad.

@BeddieKU23 KJ, Bobby, Cuffe, Zuby, Dick, Rice

Athleticism 👉 📈

Also, Bill knows with Mitchell and isn't bothering or wasting any time with it. So nothing to worry about there.

@BigBad said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

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.

The good thing about Rice compared to Grimes is he doesn't think he is a PG. :face_with_tears_of_joy:

Been seeing almost all my friends getting divorced. A few holding on. Lockdowns were very difficult.

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

How are we looking on Mark Mitchell?

He isn't really even talking to KU anymore.

@justanotherfan Agree. Strong write-up. I think Self is gonna have to play him at the 3-4. Some very fun potential line-ups with two points, Dick, Rice and Zuby.

Billy McKnight being the head coach at Prolific Prep again is a positive for KU here.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

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

Yeah. It's possible college or maybe overseas end up being his only real offers. Not exactly a fit for the NBA. Overtime in play.

Looks like Memphis is in there really strong with Livingston. Agree he is extremely athletic.

@jayballer67 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

So do we think we have ANY SHOT at all to being able to get Livingston to commit to KU ? - -slim to none ?

Don't think this makes sense from a fit perspective with Dick and (likely) Rice on board. That's a lot of guys for the 3/4, then you likely still have Braun and KJ as well.

@FarmerJayhawk Overtime

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

It's gonna be KU. Whether he ever wears the jersey or not is TBD

Matches up with what I've heard.

:books:

@FarmerJayhawk yup

NIL is looking like a game changer.

MJ Rice announcing Tuesday

Lol, just googling in this instance. I have dabbled tho.

truly shocking development

NOT GUILTY

The punishment is the length of the investigation tbh

Roger Marshall wants a federal investigation

What a clown. Glad Senator Karen wants to talk to the manager at Disney instead of doing his actual job.

Hope he gets dunked on when he runs for Governor. Ugh.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in OU, Texas to the SEC?:

@FarmerJayhawk thx for the shout out! Ever been there?

Dirty nasty Hutch though. :astonished_face:

If you can't beat em, don't let em vote.

@justanotherfan Spoelstra is a really great coach, imo.

@FarmerJayhawk :folded_hands:

@Kcmatt7 Basically the logic people are using lol.

Also to liken it to driving again, just because you have a seatbelt (vax) doesn't mean you should drive head on into oncoming traffic either (ie not wear a mask and attend large gatherings).

Bill sniffing around here

@mayjay said in Self Has Covid:

Number 16. They look no further than Fox news for info--not answers, just info--supporting their fear/hesitancy/paranaoia.

Damn Murdoch media...sucks.

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Makes me glad we probably won't play him in college

I'm listening. :popcorn:
