@Kcmatt7 If you are talking about Ryan his pick was made 4/27/2018.
You're right. I totally thought he had just made it.
He isn't allowed to put in picks anymore fwiw. So all his picks will be quite old.
Why can't he put in picks?
Only 24/7 staff can and he isn't anymore. He was actually never KU staff he did work for the Ole Miss site iirc. I think there are a few exceptions for big time insiders like Slater can still pick.

EVAN DANIELS WITH THE KU CRYSTAL BALL DROP TODAY.
PLAYA DONT PLAY AROUND WITH HIS PICKS
@Marco I was thinking about all the changes in general. The regional camp thing is a nightmare that is good for no one.

The biggest thing that Les Miles brings to KU is a guy that can absolutely recruit. The potential that he could bring in some higher caliber talent to move the program up in terms of both prestige and results is big for KU football if the program is ever going to be anything other than a second or third division program.
^^
Talent matters a lot.

KU BUMPSSSS BOIS
McBride up 51 slots in 24/7 ranking and Braun up 99...
Didn't Braun grow an inch or two? I thought he was listed at 6-5 or so, and now is more like 6-7. I may be remembering wrong, though. That would be reason to bump him up.
24/7 was way behind the other services on them fwiw. These rankings feels about right. Both are still sub 100 it's just that 24/7 had them 200 or lower in Braun's case.
I'm seeing conflicting heights on Braun. Will be interesting to see where he ends up.

Looks like Georgia just dropped their 5th bag of cash off this cycle to 4 Star PG Wheeler. Former Texas A&M commit is deciding between them and Iowa St. Iowa St insider dropped a CB for Georgia so that sounds like a wrap.
That's when you know it's really over.
@Kcmatt7 NOTHING TO SEE HERE
@jayballer73 He doesn't. It's just a token of respect.
@FarmerJayhawk Lubbock is awful. I can think of only one reason to want to play there.
UA = Under Armour that way RJ has a school for every shoeco on his list.

Elliott is an MVP walk-on lol.
Pretty sure this kid will be a Jayhawk but the silence leading up to the commitment is always tough.
FarmerJayhawk said:
FWIW I'm not sure Hampton will even get to Tech for a visit. Sounds like window dressing more than anything. UA plus the hometown(ish) school. UK is also out.
Dotson, Hampton, Tucker, Agbaji, Garrett is a pretty okay guard rotation. Factor in the bigs and it would one of Self's best rosters in quite some time...
Crimsonorblue22 said:
@Kcmatt7 I meant are these walk ons graduating this year? Do we need new ones?
Pretty sure he doesn't even really play basketball and will be a student manager.

Contact info on a lot of people here. If you want something really fast, try Jeff Long on twitter? I think something more official might yield more success though. This is a great idea, best of luck.

You know guys (yeah, I'm going to say it), I'm not a big fan of - weren't these Condi Rice's recommendations? - these new agent and NBA draft rules. Who is going to come back? "Gee, I don't know, we'll let you know when we do."
Many of the proposals while well intentioned were terrible. The road to hell and whatnot.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark is this the son of a former player of Self's?🤔 who am I thinking of?
Yes. Missing on him would be an epic whiff.
Gorilla72 said:
According to Zagsblog.com, Lester Quinones (6’6” SG) is down to Indiana and Memphis. If he chooses Memphis, what are the ramifications for Hampton and others? Announcement Friday, 5/10.
The pick is expected to be Memphis fwiw.
@Crimsonorblue22 Nope. Info is available on eurobasket but that's a pay site so meh.
Would be awesome if we could get in good with Huntington Prep tbqh.

Sounds like Bryce Thompson has blown up this Spring. I’ve seen a lot of articles about how much he has improved. I really hope Self and the staff are prioritizing him. Looks like a lot of new schools are recruiting him now.
He's always been good imo. Hope this doesn't end up like Sam Williamson.
dylans said:
He’s about as successful at buying a roster as the Yankees of late.
OMG :skull:
HighEliteMajor said:
@BShark All good. But worth discussing.
It's definitely an angle that schools play. It was actually put out there that Notre Dame did it with a kid that was going to go to Maryland. His name is eluding me at the moment.
I think I'll revisit this if Enaruna picks Creighton.
NFL draft had its highest ratings ever this year.
Neither league is dying.

Isaac Simpson from rivals picked Hampton to go to Duke. Is he a legit source?
Duke is still cut from his list as of now. Looks like he is assuming they will get back in.
rockchalkwyo said:
Agree. I’m just waiting on the whole “in 10 days everything will clear up”
Doke and they were probably thinking an answer on Silvio either way.
That said, commitments are coming I'm sure.
Sure is enjoying himself.
Sure would be nice if KU got a commitment over the weekend to get the ball rolling.
@Kcmatt7 It's his actual job tbf for one of the biggest sports related companies. But yeah he is REALLY good at it. Love that he's a KU guy.
Bryce Wood is the hero we need
Woodrow said:
Last 3 CB picks for Hampton have been to Memphis. Penny has a real legit shot to close with Hampton, Precious , and Boogie.
And somehow still end up in the NIT. Would suck though, for sure.
The KU staff knows how to put on a visit for sure.
Kcmatt7 said:
Watch him just not leave lol. He does seem to really be liking the visit if twitter interaction is at all telling.
This will shock you but his last follow is a young coed.
@Kcmatt7 I'm sure KU is offering him compensation lol.
Real good shot at Tucker, I feel.
justanotherfan said:
Embiid does present a unique challenge for GS because of his size and ability to punish smaller defenders. Golden State can usually go small and run the other team into the ground. They can't do that to Philly, and Jimmy Butler is waiting for the challenge of going toe to toe with Kevin Garnett. Butler has always been a bit underrated IMO, but he could change all of that with a nice run here in the playoffs.
Wow Kevin Garnett is back in the league!?? ;)
@BeddieKU23 I'd take him but there is no chance. Can't even see getting a visit.
Kcmatt7 said:
KU has reached out to Boogie.
Doesn't matter but might as well? :shrug_tone2:
Marco said:
He's drinking some of that badass Kansas kool-aid, as we speak... I don't see us letting this guy get away. I think, from all that I have gathered, that we are recruiting him at the 2 and Hampton at the 1, which only strengthens my belief that Dotson will not be back.
I'd rather have Dotson back for year 2 but if he is going these would be the two to get. I'm sure KU is running the ultra deluxe full court press on Tucker's visit.
I hope Devonte has been in his ear.
HighEliteMajor said:
@Texas-Hawk-10 @BShark Amazing how much inside knowledge the two of you have.
I've brought this up before but multiple members of my extended family are MSU grads and donors. Two first cousins going there right now. I don't know everything obviously, but hell I have more real info about MSU than I ever get before anyone else about KU.
FarmerJayhawk said:
Tucker is in Lawrence.
Knock it out of the park Bill.
@Texas-Hawk-10 The MSU football program is super dirty as well.
Kids aren't going to play for MSU for free.
