I could see Svi getting drafted in the 2nd round.

@jayballer73 Depends. Is he ready for the NBA definitely not, but he could easily make it in another league that pays well.

@BShark just Asking. - -Does Bassy put out all kinds of red flags to people is that what your saying?
jayballer73 said:
In the back of my mind I have always kind of thought that during the whole recruiting process that some how the Coach's their selling point to De Sousa & McCormick was that they thought Doke would be gone. I just get this feel that getting Silvio & McCormick both to come they really would want to both be here knowing that Doke comes back. -I - really feel that they had been told chances are that he was gone.
Exactly. Is either of them coming to be the 5th big next year? I don't think so.
I can't even argue with Pat Forde's takes anymore if Bassey reclasses and picks KU.

Well I read that Coach Self was in Louisville yesterday talking with 6'10 Charles Bassey from Nigeria, visited him at his High School DeSales High.
Said KU has been one of the more prominent schools in his recruitment, - Western Kentucky , UCLA , California , Wake Forest,& KU have been the schools so far
Damn it William....
@BeddieKU23 I still say Doke leaving makes the most sense in being able to get Silvio and Dave.

Surprised it wouldn't be Cuse

LBJ THO
Tough game for Bron haters tonight
Charles Barkley is off his rocker again.
@Kcmatt7 Dedric looked like an old butter ball that knows how to hoop that you see at the rec when he was at Memphis. Gotta think Hudy was a factor to picking KU.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I mean KJ will be in his 4th year out of HS, that will definitely be a factor. Plus he is pretty good in general. Versatile defender, very good rebounder.
Even if Silvio is able to play which I doubt he would be better coming off the bench imo.

@BShark JRE = Perry 2.0 basically right?
He’ll be quite the luxury as a bench guy. I don’t think he’ll be any better than our 4th big, assuming Silvio and Dave are still at KU.
I've written Silvio off at this point. If he plays I take it as a bonus.
Still Dave as a SO, Mitch in his 4th year and likely KJ in his 5th year removed from HS will all be guys JRE would have to try to supplant.
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark I'd just say screw it and start Dedric at the 5 and KJ at the 4 if we lost both.
Dedric has an 8'11 standing reach. He could literally guard anyone.
The only situation where I wouldn't start Dedric and KJ is if Doke is back.

@BShark I personally really hope that Mitch does RS. I don't think he will play much at all next year and he could develop into something a couple years down the road.
I think it should only be in play if Doke and Silvio are around though. If not, I think Mitch would be a valuable contributor.
@Kcmatt7 Dave isn't shooting any threes imo.
It would be a challenge for Bill to keep everyone happy. Mitch in that situation might consider a RS.
He could easily come back but I don't think it's a question of NBA or not. There are many other good pro basketball leagues that pay well.
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark JRE = Perry 2.0 basically right?
Taller, better rebounder, a bit less skilled.
@justanotherfan Mitch's floor is probably not playing at all. Which we might see next year depending on how the roster shakes out.
We will see on Hurt. It's still early. At this time I believe Silvio was top 5 in his class as well.
Everyone is on Hurt and he looks to me like KU's top target. KU has a lot of good options at the 4 in 19 but I like Hurt's skill level a lot.
In terms of athleticism and potential defense, Achiuwa would be the best bet.
I like JRE and Malik Hall long term but I don't think either is high impact year one.

Hearing declare without agent..
Always the plan.
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark His post basically said he was gone.
Oh okay I didn't check. That means if PJ stays in the draft too they have 8 scholarship players. This also assumes Green doesn't leave. 9 w/ Hagans.
Poor Cal just can't catch a break!
Kcmatt7 said:
I would be shocked to see him come back.
You called all this.
Kentucky fans being shocked when kids leave their OAD factory early is still the funniest damn thing.
BeddieKU23 said:
Wasn't one of the comps for Grimes Gary Harris?
6,4 with a 6'7 wingspan doesn't hurt him. Those kind of measurable's would be killer if he was a full-time PG
If he shows he can play PG he's a lottery pick.
You mean do his announcement on skype? I say let the kids have fun.
jayballer73 said:
Read Gabriel out of Kentucky declared but not hiring Agent - I think he comes back, but if he doesn't they have lost a lot. - from reading boards this is one I don't think this is one they were counting on. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
He's probably going to stay gone. Only so many guys can get minutes and the squid loaded up!
BeddieKU23 said:
He is a big guard but no way is he a 4 type. He's not JJ
Or MKG, or Justise.
Which I mean, to be fair and to his credit he is a better shooter than any of them.

Jay Bilas weighs in..

HEM trigger warning.
To Mitch's credit he was serviceable on the court this year. FR year was um...we just won't talk about his FR advanced offensive stats since he only played 100 minutes.
I'd be interested in seeing them side by side. I'm not convinced Mitch is the 6'8'' he is listed at.
I would say there is a chance Mitch is more athletic but his offensive game is terrible so it doesn't really matter. You can easily get away with playing Hurt at C to mask his possible defensive issues.

@BeddieKU23 I'll do a cartwheel somehow if it's Hoard.
I'll do backflips somehow as well.
Old guys doing backflips and cartwheels, gonna be difficult. :joy:
He is worlds better than Lightfoot.
If McCormack is really 6'10'' barefoot that's ideal.
Grimes has a bigger wingspan than Svi. Poor Svi, he really is a trex.
Hurt is my top want among players I think KU has a real shot at.
@BeddieKU23 I'll do a cartwheel somehow if it's Hoard.
Well if you believe what has been said so far, it's a player that is committed so that automatically writes off Williams and Ramey.

Petro ripping apart the story now. Basically saying he thinks the unnamed guy is also Dakich lol.
LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL OMG DED
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark Lol "facts."
"An unnamed coach that is best friends with Bill Self said that Bill cheats."
And it is just so funny to see him use players we held out against us.
Yeah that's the crazy part. Okay so KU is aware and holds out players when they find out something isn't on the up and up? Obvs super villains.
Kcmatt7 said:
Lol that was a joke. Of course my internet cut out right when it seemed Petro was trying to make him say even more ridiculous stuff.
Forde got all riled up when Petro asked him if he is biased because Missouri.
YOU CANT DISPUTE THE FACTS IN MY ARTICLE !!!!NR!1one
He is saying Self = Pitino
Man Forde is such trash
Kcmatt7 said:
I hope Petro crushes him
Me too. Should happen if Forde gets too ridiculous.
Pat Forde coming up with Soren Petro on 810 am KC radio.
Kcmatt7 said:
Memphis and Louisville getting involved with Hurt. That recruitment is going to be a dog fight to the end. I sure hope he takes visits and commits early.
UCLA just visited him a couple days ago as well.
Consensus top 5 player, great fit for the modern game, seriously considering staying more than a year. Def going to be a knock down drag out.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah I agree. Assuming they aren't signed could be incorrect. Schools will pretty much let kids out of their NLI.
@JayHawkFanToo I'll wait to pass any judgment on it until we see who it is if it happens.
@BeddieKU23 Yes, in November.
RockkChalkk said:
@KUSTEVE nah, this is a guy that could be a fallback option for KU if we miss on Langford. Supposedly he has already committed elsewhere but not signed.
Correct. I believe it is all but done if Romeo goes elsewhere. Of course the name can't be mentioned now or it could screw the kid out of his current situation.
