Think I'm gonna go out on a little bit of a limb & take a chance and say ,I think I would be almost shocked if Kendall doesn't end up here at KU. Sure doesn't hurt with Zach committing to play here next year either , can only help I would think. - ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY
We good
Light work.
They went from Romar to Hopkins and that doesn't even factor in some of their assistants over the years....
How many minutes does someone need to play to be considered part of the rotation? If we put it at 300 then here is the breakdown (team listed, then number of players over the 300 minute threshold).
05-06 9
07-08 9
10-11 10
14-15 9 (almost 10 but a weird situation where we had to quit playing Cliff)
15-16 9
18-19 10 (Vick being kicked off the team jumped this from 9 to 10, so really it is 9)
Any team not listed was 8 or less.
I feel like 300 is around the right mark, typically the players in that range appeared most if not all games.
So 6 out of 17 years and two of those times there were pretty extenuating circumstances.
@Woodrow I believe my hs was in it but is not anymore. Because we played almost all those schools and Tongie was usually a big game too. I'll message you.
@BeddieKU23 just went and read the whole article. Bates is probably a top target based on that.
@BeddieKU23 said in Zach Clemence:
Bates made it sound as the staff is potentially recruiting for 6 spots. Depending on the seasons of McCormack, Agbaji & Grant-Foster..
Always possible transfers too. 6 seems like a solid number with 3 seniors.
My high school used to play Piper in sports but I'm not sure how with how everything gets shuffled around. I being this up because I know the level of competition is quite bad. I think him going to img is a good thing.
KU offered Rylan Griffen a few days ago. He is very good at basketball and KU appears to be firmly in the race.
@wissox said in Zach Clemence:
@BShark More like Gopher poison. It's actually interesting, while I was at KU, I became aware of his (Kyle Lindstead) father, who was a preacher in the evangelical group I grew up in. While I never met him, he was quite influential and still is. I looked him up and he's the executive director of that school.
It appears to be an interesting story that out of these very evangelical roots they decided to build a basketball powerhouse using kids, I assume, from all over. There must be a residential aspect to their school.
As a Badger nut, he sounds like he fits the mold of former UW bigs who can shoot it. It's a great weapon obviously, and I look forward to seeing how he performs with the Jayhawks.
I should clarify. Kyle is not a bad person, KU just wasn't going to land Sunrise kids while he was there.
I am excited for Zach as well. As @Kcmatt7 mentioned Bill has been going after big men that can shoot recently, but he missed on JRE and Hurt. I'm going to be honest either way like when I say I don't think Gethro ever does anything at KU. In contrast I am absolutely thrilled with everything I've heard about Zach. Time will tell on both.
I will also just say be glad Kyle Lindsted is no longer at Sunrise. Rat poison.

KU not involved yet to my knowledge. Elite athlete, rough around the edges in terms of basketball.
@Marco You won't find his stats outside of tournaments or AAU because Sunrise doesn't put them out there. You'd have to be at the games and track everything. We do know he shot 46% from three on a solid volume last season.
@BeddieKU23 just one more I think, but it needs to be a guy that can play the 5. I would rather have Dave back though.
He's a great start to the class. We are going to need another big because it's looking like this will be Dave's last year and we don't want to have to rely on Gethro for any minutes.
@FarmerJayhawk Great. Was Eastern playing hurt last year or something? That's a sharp decline.
@FarmerJayhawk woof. Thankfully not happening.
“Two years ago, Clemence embarked on a journey to put himself in position to play for a school such as Kansas. After averaging 12.4 points, 12.2 rebounds and 4.0 blocks for Antonian Prep in San Antonio as a freshman, he transferred to Findlay Prep, which had been a factory for churning out high-major players. When the school in Henderson, Nev., closed its doors last May, Clemence went looking for a new home. He had considered attending Sunrise Christian when he first left San Antonio because his grassroots coach at the time, Justin Berry, had played at Newman University in Wichita, Kan., alongside Barnwell. His move to Kansas didn’t hurt the Jayhawks, because not only has it been easier to visit Lawrence but Sunrise Christian also has a lot of the KU offense in its playbook.
He fits the way they play, and it should be an easy transition,” Barnwell said.
Clemence committed so early because he said he felt comfortable with KU and didn’t see any reason to wait and potentially miss out on the opportunity. It also didn’t hurt that his mom has always rooted for the Jayhawks. He has been on KU’s radar — with assistant coach Norm Roberts leading the recruitment — since his sophomore season, and his profile shot up in January when he starred at the Hoophall Classic in Springfield, Mass. He scored 25 points and made 6 of 7 3s in a blowout win over Hillcrest Prep, which featured five-star big men Makur Maker (who has declared for the NBA Draft) and Mike Foster (ranked ninth in the 2021 class by 247). The game was televised on ESPN3 and played in front of an army of college coaches.
“I think he showed that he’s every bit as good as those guys and the driving force behind us getting a big win on TV,” Barnwell said.
Oh, okay then.
Kansas beat out Ohio State, Oklahoma State, Baylor and Arkansas for Clemence. It’s a huge recruiting win for KU with the NCAA battle looming. Clemence said the coaches discussed that with him, but he’s not worried. “I’ve heard it all,” he said. “I’ve seen it all, but Kansas is where it’s at.”
Seems locked in too.
According to his mom getting the KU offer was his main goal that he had been working toward for years. More here (article is vip)
@FarmerJayhawk My body is very ready though. I kinda hope it happens. And I mean for safety reasons it very well might have to.
In lol news, we did not make eventual Duke player Pat Baldwin JR's top 10. I believe the entire top 10 is Nike, so, yeah.
Not related to KU, but NCAA in general.
@Crimsonorblue22 love some of the quotes there. Sounds like Zach was at KU games when he was 10 or 11 years old.
@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:
Zach Clemence wants to play in the big 12. Hope it's for the good guys.
Spoiler: it is.
Relaying some info here from a friend at Sunrise. Zach is a tireless worker, in the gym all the time doing shooting drills.
Hearing things have improved with KB as well. Great day for crootin.
@Woodrow said in 2021 Recruiting:
Very nice pickup for Bill and the staff. Kid has been on the come up in the rankings. Hopefully this helps with Brown as well, and opens the door for KU at Sunrise.
He is very skilled and should be around multiple years. Love this commitment. Needed a big badly too.
RCJH
@FarmerJayhawk said in NOA response from KU discussion:
Just checked in with one of my main guys at KU. They're going at this until the bitter end with the full support of donors.
Good, this should be the stance. Seems like most if not all of what the NCAA has is from the trial.
What a giant crock of shit the NCAA's response is. To be expected of course but still.
Party time.
@BeddieKU23 we have landed guys from IMG. Could be a good move.
I don't think he is bad, just blown out of proportion by the hype machine and portions of the fan base give his actual last on court production. He is a good bench player. I just don't think he is a starter first team all league etc...
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Self On Next Season:
@BShark explain to me🤷♀️ I know you think he stinks.
The stonks meme originated as a reaction image to bad financial advice. I'm basically just saying that the hype is out of control with Mitch and I would not buy theoretical Mitch stock right now.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2020 Transfer List:
Big blow for Arizona St as Romello White transfers. Averaged 10 & 8 & 1 blk per game last season
Hard to believe this would happen considering how many decommits he had. Lol.
@jayballer73 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
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.
Really like this kid's game.
@FarmerJayhawk looks solid.
Staff apparently did video visits with Brown and Bates today.
Gonna laugh when Texas finishes in the middle of the league again.
@FarmerJayhawk does not look winnable
Past time tbh. He should retire.

Will be moving up a league/level no doubt.
Wow he's impressive. Heck of an athlete at 6'3 and defender. Shoots similar to Marcus..Would trade for Jossell anyday
Could not do it fast enough tbh but Self won't.

@nuleafjhawk said in Global Pandemic of Boredom:
@BShark Our "backyard" neighbors have this little dog-like critter that yaps CONSTANTLY. Me and another neighbor were talking about it one day and she said "I HATE that little yapping S.O.B. - and I don't like his dog either."
XD
These people also train service dogs which was the bigger reason for the fence going up.
@focojayhawk said in Match ups set for the Big 12/Big East challenge for upcoming year:
I'm trying to remember...KU offered didn't they?
Correct. Bill wanted him too, totally commit-able offer. He was worried he wouldn't get off the bench.
@approxinfinity said in Global Pandemic of Boredom:
@BShark I wish our property was bigger. The neighbors don't do social distancing and walks around the block feel like playing Frogger.
That sucks. I'm on over 10 acres so I can do a lot without encountering my neighbors. Closest are behind the house but there is an okay distance to the property line, I think about 10 feet perhaps, I haven't measured. Their house is well back from that but still it's the closest. I could go outside and yell and if they were just outside their house they could probably hear me. Likely the only neighbor where that is the case. Had some issues with them but we've got a proper fence up now. Even before that they had at least started to keep their horses a bit in check. Nothing against horses but I didn't sign up for divots and poop all over my property.
With money being tight for some I've noticed more of the stray cats around. Guessing other people might have stopped putting out cat food for them.
Upped my cooking game a lot. Made a lot of things I always meant to try including home made pizza (the dough is quite easy to make with flour and yeast) and it has all turned out quite well. Outside of that trying to stay somewhat active walking around the property, have a treadmill as well for when it's raining. Watching some stuff, playing some games. Did a run of Dark Souls 3 including the DLC which was a huge time sink.
