Big upside on Evans especially at his size. I'd say he's a work in progress as far as being a complete player but his jump into the Top 20 is taking into account the long term potential he has.

I like that we have a few warm ups before slaying Duke's new savior
New offer out to 2023 unranked guard Elmarko Jackson 6'3 from South Kent CT.
Safe to say he's going to be ranked soon with a ton of new offers in the past month from Virginia, Tennessee, Minnesota, Oklahoma, Miami, Penn St, St Johns, Kansas St, Depaul. Recently visited Maryland and he's in no rush to decide
Makes sense to ditch the PG label on him and just let him focus on being a scorer/playmaker. I thought when he was able do focus on that he not only made plays for himself but others. As you pointed out having a veteran guard off the bench that has a green light has been a valuable role on this squad recently. I hope he takes that spot
Big year for Yes. He basically was a freshman this past year with his confidence issues hindering some of his development. I like how he battled to get minutes, came through big for this team in several games and stayed humble even when Remy came back. Now hopefully with that year behind him he just has a free mind & plays to his scoring & playmaking instincts. Could be a really important rotation piece this year.
Layden Blocker to Arkansas

Basically an amended notice of allegations was provided/submitted. Who knows.
They really should post all the documents to be transparent.
I'll be rich before that happens

Can't explain it but these two getting drafted felt different then past ones. I'll be following their careers closely
@BShark said in NBA draft, Jayhawk style:
Nuggets are SUPER high on him.
He had a guarantee from them and another team if Denver didn't snag him. So happy for him
Boom Och at 14
Agbaji will be a Cav
IARP website made more riveting updates concerning the KU case.
They are the best
AJ Johnson mentions his intentions to visit KU in the future. Recruitment is shall we say heating up
Chatman OV this weekend. Nice!
Bossi thinks KU will go "all-in" here. In contention to be a 5 star prospect. Huge upside still.

I'd take that weather. Going to be 55 in my neck of the woods tomm
I will absolutely take that trade!
When you expect 80 85 this time of yr and have 6, 7 months of pure cold yeah I'll trade anyday!

The NCAA has recommended transfer windows for approval. Basically making certain periods for players to enter the portal
Huge for Wigs. His reputation will change from this. Congrats to him.
KU will play at UK next year as part of the SEC/Big-12 Challenge announced today. January 28th is the date.
Pencil in Oscar for 30 and 30 + 3 fake injuries from Wheeler
From Bossi
"Kansas loves Chatman. They'll be in Minnesota to watch him this weekend as part of the first of June's two scholastic periods."
Taisan Chatman will likely take an official visit to KU in the fall. The 4 star SG is one to watch apparently. #38 composite, #26 on 247.
Uconn, Xavier, Virginia also getting visits.
UNC getting a visit this week
Expects Gradey & MJ to battle for a starting spot but positions are open outside a few.
Leaders- JWill, Juan, McCullar. Says team not void of leadership.
McCullar- Perfect fit for playing interchangeable lineups
Self mentioned he thinks KJ will play more on the wing going forward, contingent on bigs stepping up.
Steve Kerr figured out Andrew Wiggins and what made him tick. Steph Curry has helped him embrace the player he always was. It was pretty amazing seeing how locked in Wigs was last night.
Texas Tech continues to add, getting UNC shooter Kerwin Walton
Definitely got away with some physical contact at times that always went uncalled against Och but agree he really defended well this past season. Year before it was his offense that shined. He would have been a good fit if there was a spot
BYU can't play on Sundays if I recall. Wonder how that would work if it came to it
It's going to be weird. Houston makes sense but the other two not so much. Obv Cincinnati & UCF have good developing football programs which is important.
Ramey to Arizona..
Jacob Grandison to Duke. Ew
"also use of house & automobile" included
Also if we are talking comparisons, Wayne Selden is a good one. I think they are very similar coming in.
Layden Blocker on campus today. High 4 star PG from Sunrise.
Very talented kid. Also context, it was a "scrimmage" where the last 10 minutes were basically uncontested shots on both sides
Mosley getting 250k to attend Methzuuuu.
Mason & Graham- getting the band back together!
Rice the more College ready body physically, he's a grown man. Both are going to play a lot. They both bring some different skills to the table & its a luxury to have them both
Adams had 16
Udeh with 16
Rice had 18
Zach with 19
Gradey with 10
Self can play 2 smalls with McCullar/Wilson or throw Dick/Rice into the fire and see who sticks. We'll see how they settle in but anytime you bring in two 5 star wings they don't expect to sit. Not sure we get both without having the necessity or playing time availability. I think pressure will work itself out. They know they have a shot to earn a spot early
"I think if I had my druthers, I would play three point guards every day. I have said all along, I would rather play four guards," Self said during the Big 12 Tournament. "I've changed my thinking, as long as one of them is big enough to defend a four and if one of them can be a lead guard. And the more lead guards you have is positive, as long as one of them has got to be able to shoot."
Only direct quotes from it which mention to what he said in the Big-12 tournament.

Top 25 Big Ugonna Kingsley has KU among the 3 schools he's interested in right now. KU, UK, Uconn. Defense well ahead of offense but he's known as a top level rim protector.
I pray
Not sure he's a need but I certainly wouldn't mind him coming here. Seems like he really likes Kentucky from what he says
Zach said yesterday he's up to 225.

Wonder where MJ Rice is. Haven't seen him arrive yet...
Thanks for that list.
The double figure scorers were 5 star prospects & fit the necessity of the position they were playing (30mpg +). There is definitely an open spot to take. Whether Gradey can get 30 mpg who knows..
