27s28 seconds agoPitt transfer Parker Stewart tells me he will meet with Kansas State this morning.
Keep in mind KSU is already at the scholarship limit. More swings of the axe to come.
Patrick, Love & Shadd would make the most sense. I would wager one or more is leaving
I think more. KSU heavily involved with Anthony Tarke as well. Tarke is very good, he would intrigue me for KU if there was an open spot.
Not really seeing where KU has reached out to anyone.

@BeddieKU23 Yeah I wouldn't go anywhere near Jones. What's the deal with Maurice? I assumed Bruce gave him the axe because he couldn't play.
Not surprising the AZ commit got ranked. The same thing would happen if he picked UK, Duke, KU etc...
In actual 2019 news, OSU adds the Boone twins from Tulsa. I don't think they have profiles on Rivals, ESPN or 247 but they can hoop. Frank Haith was after them hard of course. Good to see they mad a smarter decision.
Akinjo to Georgetown.
Memphis lands Antwann Jones (top 100 SG) that was previously SIGNED with A&M and former KSU reject Isaiah Maurice.

@BShark @justanotherfan would love to hear your projections now, if the teams filled the gaps they needed or not.
@BeddieKU23 does this mean the Big 12 can recruit again? That's a big jump in 4 star+'s isn't it?
I'll wait and see as there might be more impact additions. KU should add one more player for sure, KSU 1-2 more, Texas maybe 1 more etc...
OSU adds Kentrevious Jones.
I'll do a big update to the OP when all the dust settles.
lololol this game
@Kcmatt7 DID YOU JUST SEE THAT TERRY ROZIER PLAY GAHT DAMMMMM

His body is already college ready. Looks like a goo pickup actually.
Yeah I made sure to add that he should be a 4*. Kinda a Svi situation. It's fun to shit on Zona though.
Celtics Bucks is gonna be a battle all series.
Should be a 4* based on talent though.

Arizona out here taking unranked kids.

2019 post player Francis Okoro will be taking some standardized tests. If he gets the needed scores he will reclass and join Illinois for the 18 class.
Lol. They do need anything
If they add Okoro they will have as many commits in this class as KU played in the regular rotation last season.

Add Charles Bassey to that list as well. He’s rumored to be reclassifying to 2018. KU will be involved if Doke goes pro. 6’11 235 with a 7’3 wingspan. Terrific prospect.
Looks like he got some more WKU cb picks rolling in. I hope Doke stays, as good as Bassey is.
Of course!
Will be interesting to see if any strong KU targets do that.
If you aren't deemed good enough, you get the ax!
Looks like he wants to take in 2-3 additional commits/transfers.

Decommitted from the children of the corn today.
Jake Wojcik got his release from Siena.
@Kcmatt7 Yeah, seems like more of a need with the Silvio situation too. This has to be so hard for Doke. He obviously isn't ready for the NBA but I'm sure he really wants to start getting paid so he can get his mom out of Africa.
@Kcmatt7 Sure seems like Doke will stick around.
I was frantically contacting poor @approxinfinity on twitter dot com
@Kcmatt7 Yeah I mean there is no way, he legit loves UK.
OMG WHAT IF QUICKLEY IS THE MYSTERY PLAYER.
pounds 12 beers, runs around naked, passes out
(all fiction no malice)
@Kcmatt7 18 class is weak too. Anyone counting on all players from it is in for major disappointment. Maxey and Hagans are easily better than Quickley.
Like maybe Quickley should have considered KU. At least Self wouldn't recruit over him in the SAME CLASS.
@Kcmatt7 I don't think he is OAD. Odd that he committed in Nov and didn't sign.
:joy: :joy: :joy:
@Kcmatt7 The fan base too. They went from upset to declaring 40-0 again.
@Kcmatt7 Well if a coach was fired the kid would easily be able to get out of it. Wonder how many of those situations there are.
But it's not official yet.
Kcmatt7 said:
Herro isn't going to be happy no way no how. Green has to be so butthurt right now.
You'd think these kids know what they are signing up for. Herro isn't going to play now LOL.
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark Have you ever seen a team with so many PGs? lol.
UK has 3 5 PG and Duke has 3 5 wings. Maybe they should do a trade.
@Kcmatt7 My first impulse was actually Jermaine Couisnard (kid is a KU fan) but he did sign with South Carolina yesterday.
Kcmatt7 said:
And Hamidou Diallo is gone. UK's "stacked" roster continuing to fall apart piece by piece. Hearing PJ is leaning towards staying in the draft now. Green transfer rumors are still abundant as well.
Tyrese Maxey is going to reclass to 2018 and commit to UK.
So young again!
Kcmatt7 said:
Landing any of those other players would be a freaking coup. Would be funny to land Khavon Moore. It would be Bill's "welcome to the conference" moment I think lol.
Complete stud would take.
Kcmatt7 said:
Rhode Island is Adidas I believe. So maybe Jermaine Harris is the most likely? Especially with his coach leaving.
Not sure how a big makes sense unless Doke or Silvio is out.
Keyontae Johnson is exciting af.
@Kcmatt7 Taeshon Cherry hasn't signed. That would be filthy. Don't think KU made his final 8 though.
Kcmatt7 said:
OOH. OOH. I would bet on Bryann Penn-Johnson. I am 100% sure we offered him and he is only currently committed and has not officially signed. At least it doesn't look like it. There is guess #1.
Kcmatt7 said:
Matt didn't even drop a hint if it was a guard or a post...
He isn't the only person this is coming from. Pretty sure it's a guard/wing.
@Kcmatt7 Sounds awful
There are rumors about a kid that is currently committed elsewhere that would decommit and change to KU if Romeo doesn't pick KU. No one is willing to say the name of the kid right now, for obvious reasons.
"Coach (Norm) Roberts went to watch Ochai play a couple times and was really impressed. I had a chance to go see him in late January and thought he was terrific," Kansas coach Bill Self said. "I love his demeanor. He has a maturity about himself. He has a terrific frame and is an explosive athlete who can shoot.
"When we offered Ochai a scholarship, he jumped on it and that also excited us because you want to coach guys who are excited to be in your program," Self said. "I see him as a Travis Releford type. A guy that comes in and has the body to be a major college player. Ochai could be a high major defender early in his career and his skillset is such that I think he could be an immediate impact player for us. We're fortunate to get a player locally of this talent who possesses all the intangibles you want in a student-athlete."
“Defensively, he’s going to be able to guard multiple positions with his size and his strength,” said The Shiver’s Matt Scott, who saw Agbaji play for both Mo-Kan and for Oak Park this season. “He’s 6-foot-5ish and has a good, college-ready body. I think he’s ultimately going to be a really good college defender. His three-point shooting is much, much improved over the last year, and he’s very good about rebounding outside of his area, rebounding well for his position.
“Because of his size, he’s had to play down low at times, so he can score from all three levels: inside, medium range and outside,” Scott said. “His handle has gotten a little better, but his athleticism is really what has exploded over the last year or so.”

Mooney has big time attention. Michigan, UConn, Texas Tech, Oregon, Creighton, Indiana, Iowa St, TCU among others
And it looks like he's already picked out his visit spots. KU might be involved too late if they did reach out
Agree. Not much of a shot. Also someone with that kind of interest isn't coming to be in a deep guard rotation.
