From Corey, "It’s a few separate sources. Nothing legitimate. Going out on the limb some but this is not a done deal for Memphis. Going back and fourth on each. UNC, too. Believe that Kansas will get him in the end but not definite."

Saw off 247 where Memphis got another CB pick for Precious today - -it's ok - - Think we are going to be all right. - -Man I just wish we could get a finalization on Silvio - -the kid has suffered enough - let the kid play or end it so he can be on his way - this dam thing just drags on because of this fricken NCAA

Yeah I don’t see us really going after Precious unless Silvio’s situation goes sideways. And Holyfield is still out there so it may all be moot anyhow.

@BShark you always take talent. Bill will figure out what to do with it. It won't be like Cheick. They're just different players. Precious doesn't have a bad BBIQ like Cheick, he's just kind of raw yet. I'd rather have Silvio, but if we get Precious I'll be good with it.

@FarmerJayhawk I thought it was done to Memphis. Not sure I buy this especially after KU just took Enaruna. :thinking:

This is why we resigned with Adidas right? Did that new contract also come with a new bag man?

Well it sure as shit won't be the guy that got caught anymore lol.

Probably just a coincidence that recruiting has REALLY picked up after finalizing that deal though...

It's amazing how these things are just totally not related whatsoever and in no way, shape, or form whistles past graveyard

@dylans yeah! It's wild man. I don't buy it since I haven't heard KU connected to Precious really since his visit but we'll see.
@Woodrow I don't think so? Just go to the player page and it's at the bottom of each player's profile.

@rockchalkwyo I can imagine! Now that we're on summer break it's like my tic

In short, no. A lot has to break our way in the next month.

@RockkChalkk Rivals. They have a prediction feature now too

@Kcmatt7 I'll ask him and see if he bites lol

Corey Evans flipped his pick on Precious from Memphis to Kansas this morning...

Boogie Ellis visiting Memphis now. Ovaaaaaa

Hold onto your butts. This one could be over pretty soon.

Today soon or Billy/Silvio soon? :p

Ha! Like could be next week soon.

The last screenshot. My gods.

I think @BShark brought this up earlier, but I think KU likes Nah'Shon Hyland a lot. I don’t know if he’s waiting on a Kansas offer, but if he is and things go sideways with R.J., he can come in and compete right away.

Duke. We get Cassius, Hurt, and the program is decimated for a generation.

Bill had three 5 ⭐️ point guards on his championship team. There’s plenty of room for Tucker and Hampton and Dotson. Bring it!!!

Oh for sure. Bill has said a lot he’ll play as many PG’s as can defend 1-5, hence his love for Garrett. And honestly Tucker is more a 4 than 1 at this point. He doesn’t have great ball skills. Which is why he’s a fringy top 100 player on draft boards right now.

They might be on iHeart or something too.

Maybe? This also works http://v6.player.abacast.net/855 ↗

FYI, Jerry Meyer will be on KLWN in about 10 minutes talking RJ.

Wiggins? Come on Bill. That's laying it on a weeeeeeee bit thick.

It's harder in the U.S. context. DoJ spent like a gazillion dollars looking at the effects of the "assault weapons" ban and found exactly nada in terms of effects on homicide rates and crime. Australia also doesn't have a bill of rights so the government can do about whatever it wants.

But anyhoo. Australia is a lot of fun. Beaches are great.

@jayballer73 Andrew thinks RJ is going overseas. Meyer probably ditto.

Just Scott Chasen. I like Scott, but he's in the dark other than a morsel here or there from the staff.

Heard from a KU source today they think they got Tucker

that ( they ) - -as in KU buddy?

Yessir. I should emphasize they just have a good feeling, nothing is done yet. Though it will be over pretty soon. Thinking this weekend.

The plan is for Boogie Ellis to sign a LOI, which means he has to decide within the next week. That will tell what we need to know.

Every time I've asked about Silvio, folks at KU get more optimistic. Maybe mid-May or so?

Do we play them this year?

@drgnslayr Anthony Davis was that way too. He was like 6'2 as a freshman.

@Woodrow mercy. That's a great haul and they could have a lot of guys coming back. Easily preseason #1.

EVERYONE STAY CALM OKAY

@justanotherfan I hope it's just the ISU guy blowing smoke and I see your points on it.

I'm still of the belief that KU isn't getting Hampton. I think no matter where Tucker goes, he's going to be featured offensively.

WHAAAAAA? - -now why you thinking we are not getting Hampton?

KU is firmly in the lead for Hampton. He’ll announce a decision at the end of the month and hopefully be on campus in June.

@BShark yup. It's early to say it's a lock, but they're the leader in the clubhouse. He seems genuinely intrigued by Kansas, so I bet we get an official at least. I think Daishen Nix is the guy at PG for us though. Self is all about him. Greg Brown is target A, B, and C at the 4 spot as of today. UNC and Texas will be tough to beat. I really like Jalen Suggs (dude is tough as nails and can play 1-3) and Xavier Foster, who seems open. We offered Foster last summer. Really skilled 4/5 man. Going to be tough to pull from Iowa. But might be legit 7'0 240 by the time he gets to college. The 2020 class is really the first I've been excited about since 2016.

Got to remember - -Could be Kyree sticks in 2020 - IF he sticks in2020 -think we have a good shot with him. - We could slide him in several different spots. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Good call. If Ochai goes pro we'll have more PT than he could ever want. I think he ends up in 2019. We have a legit shot if we miss on Rayjon.

@BShark then we wouldn't get to see Silvio dunk so hard on Matt Hurt it ruins the game of basketball for him forever

Random thought. Does anyone but me want Silvio to come back and start at the 4 (even if it's not the best pure basketball play) just to take out all his frustration on rebounds and rims? Dude is staying in Lawrence because he wants no part of the G League and knows it may be his last few weeks here. If he gets reinstated... look out.

Between he and Doke, we might want to reinforce the rims at AFH. Those are some grown, angry dudes dunking on them.

Honestly, the prep school to pro might happen for Dante. Could see a year overseas as well. Don't want to be "overseas guy" like Jerry Meyer was circa 2016, but it's an appealing option for a kid like N'Faly. Hate to say it but if he goes to school in 2020 I think Oregon (with Scottie Barnes, we're not getting him) or UK. Cade Cunningham is one of my top 5 players in the class and I'd love to have him but he and Dante could be lethal.

Seems like N'Faly Dante is leaning toward staying in 2020. Nobody on his list really has room for him at this point other than Oregon and not sure he wants to go there.

It might be just because they look almost identical, but he's got some Cam Johnson to his game. Not near the shooter yet, but that may come

I think he’s a 4 long term.

Agree. Skilled for a 4, can't really play the 3 tbh.

Jeez, what a moron, that BShark. That was a dark recruitment though. Never heard a peep from anyone about it. But yeah, I agree he's not really a 3. You are what you can guard and I'm not sure he's got the lateral agility to stay with 3's. Plus we're playing Tucker and Ochai there anyway hehehe

The temperature, it has risen.

Just saying though, lots of moving parts here. Not sure we're at the temperature where the moving parts are fluid though.

SCORE. Kid will be a beast in 2 years.

I'll be honest - take my lickins - -kin of surprised we got him - -thought more we getting Holyfield - -BUT HELL YA - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@bcjayhawk to be fair, only dogs can hear that pitch.

WSU is now UA and getting players from there.

To be fair, Sherfield isn’t that good at basketball.

I have been reliably informed that Hampton and Boogie are mutually exclusive for Memphis.

I am confused now. You are saying that Memphis is only taking one of them and NOT both if possible. Correct?

Memphis will not get both Hampton and Boogie.
