KU was far from the first P5 offer for any of these guys though.
I was all aboard the Graham bandwagon in particular. It was very clear he had the tools to be a special player.
Calm down on Braun. He's a guy that maybe tops out at 7ppg his SR year. Neither will be AA or POY in any facet. Feel free to save this post for later.
@Kcmatt7 Missouri's D is terrible but I think Lock keeps them in it.
@JayHawkFanToo agree. Loser goes home lol.
Their biggest issue is that they devalued their product by making it free for so long.
@Kcmatt7 yeppp, snyder is always undervalued.
I like Missouri to cover today.
LJW definitely isn't worth the sub.
So Cal Berkley came in and snagged DJ Thorpe who I was mentioning would be a nice get for KSU. Sucks to suck for ol Brucey.
Late Night is going to absolutely blow away his other visits so here is hoping!
@jayballer73 They are the favorite right now which is why we were all hoping it was not a commitment today.

@Kcmatt7 I think UCLA is the favorite. He loves LA and his mom went there. We’ll have a better idea after Late Night.
Yep. Hopefully the visit is a home run.
Dante and all of Sunrise will be in for late night.
Playing pg for Self as a freshman is tough but Dotson has all the tools to succeed.

USC just picked up another guy today, so at this point I think it is more than safe to say they're out.
Super out. Stanley would start at KU.

Good bigs in 20 are going to be hard to come by if this class keeps trending the way it is. Really important KU doesn't miss in 19 here
Yep. Part of why I wouldn't hate Mitch taking a RS. He could be much more valuable as a 5th year SR. Put him with JR McCormack, SO JRE and some Lawsons and that's prettttty okay.
He's a top 10 type talent. Effortless scorer and gets after it on the glass too.
BeddieKU23 said:
I would take Strawther in a heartbeat over Harvey. Situations aside Strawther is just better.
It's not even a little bit close.
I certainly hope it is a cut today and he makes the visit though of course.
BeddieKU23 said:
KU isn't involved in his recruitment
Correct. Things change though and another year of development and distancing the legal case could get KU back into the picture.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah, a lot depends on how many scholarships will be available. 19 is looking like a big class without any oad guards/wings. Dotson, Moore, Garrett, KJ, Agbaji and Braun could all theoretically still be around and that would be a salty really experienced group at that point (JR, RS SR, SR, 6th year SR, JR, SO). That doesn't even factor in McBride if he ends up in Lawrence.
@JayHawkFanToo Braun had an OV to Oklahoma scheduled when he committed to KU. Sam Williamson had two more OVs scheduled after Louisville. Means nothing if the kid wants to commit.
@BeddieKU23 Lol. If he isn't committing today there is a shot. I would say not a very good shot but you get him on campus and who knows.
Even without him Self has had worse guard/wing rosters than Dotson, Moore, Garrett, KJ, Agbaji, Braun, McBride.
@JayHawkFanToo USC is getting cut today.
BeddieKU23 said:
Lots of movement... OU adds its 3rd 4 star in Jalen Hill, 6'7 wing from Vegas.
Nice to see Lon adding some good players. They certainly have lots of pt available.
BeddieKU23 said:
UCLA board thinks Stanley will be narrowing his list, most likely setting up visits.
Ryan on phog thinks he's announcing.
To add to this.
For those that don't want to click, Matt Scott saying it's a cut to 3.
UCLA probably the favorite at the moment, but KU getting the visit is huuuueg.
BeddieKU23 said:
2020 looks like it will be a battle for top talent. At this point I don't think KU has any advantage with anyone. It may be interesting to see if KU can get Jr's to take visits with that rule change.
Julian Strawther and Bryce Thompson. Ty Berry assuming they get around to offering him which I really hope they do.
FarmerJayhawk said:
Meanwhile Dook is about to whiff on all their “locks.” Lmaoooooooooooo. Speaking of, guess who we get in the Champions Classic in 2019?
If he does commit to UCLA tomorrow I'd love to see KU push hard for McBride.
Things escalating super quickly here lol.
@FarmerJayhawk Ryan on the Phog saying it will be a commitment now.
@FarmerJayhawk Agree with you, a cut seems most likely. I was thinking maybe even cut to 3. KU should be on it, I'd think. Exciting.
@FarmerJayhawk Is this what Gershon was saying? I have VIP but couldn't read it...stupid 24/7.
@justanotherfan Fair enough. Greene's poor attitude didn't help him either.
@KUSTEVE Braun has a really solid all around game whereas Greene was very one dimensional.
I've now seen this comparison kicked around more than once: Marcus Garrett but a little bit worse in every area except shooting where he is much better.

Big Announcement Coming Tomorrow‼️👀
@justanotherfan I agree that KS HS basketball is not a good indicator at all. Which can definitely make evaluation more difficult and why it was nice to see Braun do well in AAU.
Agree. Sec is always loaded with great athletes too.
You get tracked no matter what.
We will see. I think UK has the best roster in the country.
Sleeper for second perhaps. Kentucky is running away with that league.
@justanotherfan not sure how many of those guys are KU level. Then again if you had asked me about Braun before his JR season I would have said no way.
I think Raimey could be a WSU, Tulsa etc... level guy.
Xavier Bell I haven't seen play I don't think. Is he on an aau team?
Jonathan Jackson you would have to think ends up at UNC if they want him. At this point, he almost feels like a walk-on for UNC or KU though.
O’mar Stanley looks intriguing.
Kcmatt7 said:
If we land any of those assumed Memphis bound kids, you have to think the Lawson's had a big impact. And that Self knew they were 1000% worth the risk.
Yeah landing Wiseman would be a major coup. Still think he ends up at Memphis though.
Some other names to keep an eye on
Ty Berry
Daishen Nix
Bryce Thompson
Julian Strawther
Not sure if KU will be in the Greg Brown sweepstakes but he is really good.
Perfectly weighted long pass from Kroos to Bale but he puts it just wide.
Roma vs Madrid. Big boy game.
Best PG in the 2018 class.

in the past 15 years of Coach Self's tenure at KU, has he ever diverted from playing more than 7-8 guys per game once the core gets tightened up. especially in Big 12 play and post season? I honestly cant think of any time he did that, even when he was able to with depth. This will absolutely affect offense and defense with who plays and doesn't.
Can he keep anyone on this team from seeing meaningful minutes who deserves them? We are so deep you guys.
I wonder how much he learned, got comfortable with during his USA bball time this summer in relation to using a full roster on the court.
It depends on what your cut-off point is.
The highest minutes for the 9th guy
2014-15 15 this was a crazy year, the 10th (Svi) guy got 11 minutes a game but only played in 26 games.
2010-11 13 mpg and played every game. Releford was the 10th guy and played 10 minutes a game and 29 games.
2015-16 8.9
When Self has the quality depth to do iot he will play 9 guys.
D DOTTTTTTTT
