@BeddieKU23 I've never wanted Matt Scott to be right more in my life. He made a weird comment in the what you need to know post saying he expected a couple cb picks for Maryland to make it interesting.

@BeddieKU23 Maryland fans still think it's them due to Jeff's silence. I think either way he went dark to not deal with the maelstrom that is that thread.
When this is over, whoever the DD account is needs to come out and say it.

I Would say it would be HUGE to have a Slater pick right about now. - -but then again the last I knew his CB was KU and have seen no change - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Noooo. We don't want a Slater CB pick. That would mean he is changing off KU.

@BeddieKU23 @jayballer54 @RockkChalkk We getting close fam.
I don't see the pick switched on the site yet, not showing up for me.
His profile is derp right now. You gotta bring up the full CB page.
@BeddieKU23 @jayballer54 @RockkChalkk We getting close fam.
OUR BOY DAIN ERVIN JUST FLIPPED HIS CB TO KANSAS.
@jayballer54 5pm Kansas time
Maximum jayballer.
I don't think this board is super visible especially compared to 247 boards.

Guy is an expert at driving his fans/subscribers. Something we probably wish KU's did more of. I give him that and that only.
Not saying anything about this recruitment but even MD fans, even if somewhat tongue-in-cheek call him Jimmy Clickbait.
Jeff Ermann right on cue.

Did Cleveland St have the school closed yet?
Heard that UMES is getting the death penalty this time. One time they had one athlete skip a class.

Took the NCAA years to reach the conclusion everyone knew they would reach within seconds of hearing about it.
I wonder how Pack Pride is taking this news....
The Phog thread on this is UNREADABLE in case anyone was wondering.

Can we change the name of this thread back to something more positive?
I have plans.

"Trash to the east"? I dislike MU with the best of them, but the foolish statements never cease to amaze me. It's just sports.
@JayHawkFanToo So are you suggesting they don't play full speed? How else do you play? You take it easy? You can get hurt just as easily in practice.
Play hard and kick their tails. Full out. Game on.
It's just sports should be the takeaway for everyone. Raises money for a great cause. Some people are nuts.
So Maryland is firing their AD. Threads about it on the MD board are getting deleted but it's true. LOL.
@BeddieKU23 Was Quitter listed as a PG on any of the services? I know 247 had him as a 2 guard.
ESPN not ranking post grads killed Frank and Devonte's ranks. Frank in particular. 247 had him at #52. I remember the reaction to Graham was extremely positive, unless you include dumbasses that don't know basketball and obvious trolls. NC State fans were pissed they didn't get him. All people around NC and hoops in general were saying KU got a really good player.
All that said, it would be super nice to land a PG or two that are consensus top 30.
@BeddieKU23 Well said. If KU misses, can't blame the staff on this one, they put in the work.
@Crimsonorblue22 Agree.
This will sell out. BOOK IT.
kjayhawks said:
@BShark Im saying ether Carter or Newman gets it.
Could see that. Newman is gonna get buckets. Graham is a nice safe preseason choice though.
kjayhawks said:
Graham won't win POY of the year, sorry he's not enough of a scorer to do so. He will be a first team all American point guard.
Who do you favour over him in this crap league?
Kcmatt7 said:
It looks like whoever told him to leave made the right decision... Although, had Embiid had his injury struggles and ended up here until last season. Holy shit.
Who knows how it goes tbh. He might not have injured himself had he stayed. But ultimately it was the correct decision objectively to go make bank.

@BShark I don't believe this is an NCAA sanctioned game whereas the two exhibitions against Kansas schools each year are NCAA sanctioned and ineligible players cannot play in those games.
Ok cool. Thanks for the info.

@BeddieKU23 Not sure if you saw this yet. Quiiiiite the back track after the double down!
So now my guy says "Ayala". I'm like, no shit, what about Dotson? He says, "I heard his name too, but definitely Ayala".
Personally, I find it hard to believe both would come. There must be buzz about Dotson to Md cause otherwise this dude never would've brought it up, but don't know if I trust what he's hearing is fact or kids talking. I'm sure Jeff and Josh have heard all kinds of stuff from their local sources and are better at separating fact from rumor than rest of us.
Thanks. The person knows absolutely nothing
Yeah...had me worried for a second but LOL.
Supposedly fwiw the coaches do not know yet. They should be called tomorrow apparently. This is according to Ermann.
@jayballer54 My main point is that he and his mom are smart enough to see that the article means nothing. Don't think it impacts him.
@JayHawkFanToo Agree. And I will add that I hope this Missouri thing is simply an extra exhibition and doesn't remove one of the others.
The African kids have a lot of people in their ear. Look at Cheick being OAD after basically not playing.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
I thought Self wouldn't let him stay.
Wasn't Self imo. Self likely recommended he go pro but would have happily taken him back. Just guessing though!
Kcmatt7 said:
@BShark You think he was just saving this for a rainy day?
This seemed to happen pretty fast and it is a great distraction. Idk 100% obviously.
Had heard rumblings about this before but Embiid just coming out and saying it is fantastic. Also holy shit SO Embiid if healthy would have been straight fire.
Embiid said he actually decided to stay at KU bc he loved it. Said he was “kind of pushed to leave” — he wouldn’t say by who. #kubball
I'm fine with it. Also Bill Self is a WIZARD. Genius move to divert attention from the crappy UDK article at media day...

their BS makes me worry about my boy's decision tomorrow now - -not getting a good feeling now - -this can change everything for him and his folks. Might be the kiss of death for us and Grimes also. GREAT.- - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Grimes is a super smart kid. Just fyi.
@Crimsonorblue22 True. It looks like he could stick, we will see. I'm just giving my honest assessment on it. I think often times most KU fans overblow the NBA prospects of our players.
@wissox Big kudos to Bo for not cheating. Dude had a hell of a developmental program.

League is down. I don't know anyone who will go to the NBA outside of the 5 or 6 possible for KU and Bamba. So this preseason list is kind of sad.
I agree League is down.
Andrew Jones will play in the NBA.
Jeffrey Carroll as well.
Acuil Jr might intrigue someone at his size and the ability to protect the rim and shoot the 3..
Trae Young, McGusty, Wigginton are probably next year.
Yep this is pretty much every non-KU player with a chance that you listed.
I'm honestly not sure how well Doke fits in the NBA now, but I expect him to go pro anyway.
Preston is an NBA player for sure.
Second best KU prospect could be Garrett. If he has the quickness and skills to be a PG.
Vick has a shot, but needs to get stronger.
Graham/Svi/Newman are all Euro careers imo.
Crimsonorblue22 said:
I think Newman will kick some rear!
He is my guess to lead the team in scoring. I really want Hanni to say mamma mia during times when Newman is going off/heat checking.
@justanotherfan But Zach Smith had a very similar JR year to his SO year. You could argue his JR year was worse in some ways.
I agree Doke will not likely touch Vlad's raw offensive numbers. I think Doke can absolutely be a more impactful player though.
I think Newman has a legit shot at first team B12 but they made the right preseason choices there.
@BeddieKU23 Yeah. At this point I don't care if he underhands it. You have to get him out of the sub 40 range. Especially if the other team has enough big bodies to just hack him once he gets the ball in the paint. He is far too valuable defensively to not play during crunch time (especially when KU is ahead), so it's a real conundrum.
If Udoka can get his ft% up to like....60...which is a tall ask then his production and advanced stats like ORTG should have him in the conversation for actual first team B12. He was a defensive monster last year before his injury and he didn't even know what he was doing yet. Just being tall and camping in the paint last year had him markedly better than Lucas defensively if you extrapolate.

Says something about this league that Vlad the Impaler and Zach Smith are preseason first team, lol.
Well to be fair neither of those guys KU can guard with their life
Dead.
Fair though. Honestly no one in the league guarded him last year. He's not a terrible player but all league says something about the league but also maybe about modern basketball too.

@BeddieKU23 Rumour mill time
So, my Team Takeover guy, who couldn't care less about Md recruiting, just says to me, "Yall got a point guard". I was like, who? He says "Dotson". I'm not taking it to the bank, but just another log on the fire.
Saw it, should hear about 30 more
Same guy followed up on it, doubled down.
