Andrew Slater thinks overseas / China could be a option for RJ as well.
Gross if true.
In the words of the great philosopher Randy Moss, "Straight cash, homie."
Still think he goes to college though. The kids that went to China didn't have a good time.
Yeah China seems like a terrible option. Australia seems much better tbh.
Very odd place to work from what I've heard. I've never been myself but a former boss was on a trade mission over there and did not have particularly good things to say.

Shot selection, at least lately. His AAU team is baaaaaad.
Woodrow said:
Usually not a good thing when a player adds a team this late in the game. As we found out with Stanley. I also saw where he is planning on visiting the other 3 schools in May, but no mention of visiting KU.... ( Unless I missed it)
KU is going in-home. He's already visited KU officially and unofficially so visiting again would be kind redundant.
Correction: he's saying he'll take another unofficial over the summer.
RJ Hampton officially a 2019 guy. New final four: KU, UK, Memphis, Texas Tech. Decision sometime in July (probably late).

An RJ, Dotson, Walker, Silvio and Doke starting lineup may be the worst shooting lineup in the country lol.
But they'd also be salty
A little like last season’s UK team, lots of athleticism and bounce, not much marksmanship.
Haven’t paid close enough attention to know how serviceable RJ & Walker are from 3.
RJ projects to be in the mid 30's from 3, Walker high 30's - low 40's. Dude shot like 47% from 3 last year in HS.
@Kcmatt7 we would absolutely wreck people and it would be amazing
Gorilla72 said:
@FarmerJayhawk - didn’t the Jayhawks carry an open scholarship this year? That would make it 5 available?
You're right. I included Cunliffe as a loss to start us at a base of 13.
@dylans for sure. Those remain to be seen. We can make up for the loss of one but I really don't want to think of how we'd put almost an entirely new roster together in a summer.

@Crimsonorblue22 Zion is more likely to need the Nike surgery for when he detonates another shoe!
Wonder if ESPN will show the surgery live on all its networks?
lol, so good.
Ok, well I hope you're right obviously. Let's not bank on having him.
Oh yeah, I agree. I'm very happy Dave is around. He's as good a backup as we could ask for. Also why we need bodies in general. By my count we have 4 scholarships open:
Losses: Cunliffe, Vick, Moore, Lawson, Lawson, Grimes
Gains: McBride, Braun
I don't feel that good about going into the season with 9 dudes.
Marco said:
@FarmerJayhawk KU.
Hope you're right my dude. About Enaruna, not Dotson. By the time it's all said and done I think he's pushing the top 50 in most rankings.

@FarmerJayhawk caught in net or was it a jersey? Fluke either way.
Yeah, I don't remember for sure. I just remember hearing about it and being like wtf I've never heard of that happening before ever ever.
approxinfinity said:
@KirkIsMyHinrich we still need Doke to make it through a season to compete with anyone. If we only get a PF and SDS isn't eligible, we are still a bit thin in the frontcourt. I'm guessing we end the season with PF transfer + Dave starting and Mitch first big off bench.
Doke's injuries have been kind of flukey. Freshman year, his wrist got caught in the net. Sophomore year, got rolled up on. Junior, appeared to be a jam but obviously wasn't. I don't think he's fragile, just super unlucky.
He's a PG in the same way Wayne Selden was a PG. Definitely more a 3 than 1.
If I was a betting man, I'd say our starting lineup next season will be Dotson, Hampton, Ochai, Holyfield, Doke. But we're still months out so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

@BShark It says in the Comments section that Duke doesn't have any scholarships left to offer. Do you know if that is true?
Duke and UK are out for Hampton in 2019.

KU or Memphis. Dook and UK are out. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if KU and Memphis split Hampton and Tucker.
:pray_tone2: :pray_tone2: :pray_tone2: :pray_tone2: :pray_tone2:
My offseason wishlist is something like...
RJ Hampton
small gap
Kyree Walker
bigger gap
Tucker
TITANIC GULF
other dudes
I think we can land Hampton and Walker/Tucker. We’ve played 3 guys before who can be on the ball: Mason, Graham, Selden. Walker kind of gives me a Selden vibe.
KU or Memphis. Dook and UK are out. Honestly wouldn’t surprise me if KU and Memphis split Hampton and Tucker.

I don't think I've ever mentioned this before
I HATE the NBA. And all professional basketball associations that have anybody on the roster younger than 22 years old.
There. I said it.
How do you really feel? FWIW I don't really pay attention to the NBA. I never had a favorite team since there was never one close (the Nuggets were the closest to my hometown, which is like 6 hours from Denver) and the coverage of the sport drives me insane. 90% sure ESPN devotes more time to LeBron's Instagram than actual game analysis.
Plus, baseball is this time of year so I can't really be bothered with keeping up with the NBA.

Creighton or KU for Enaruna. Could be done by the end of the week.
Would be nice if it's KU can't lie. Just to get the ball rolling again.
Has he publicly cut Miami or is this some scoopage? :eyes:
I'll get a better read on it after the visit is done. Yeah, idk if it's super public but I absolutely know he likes Creighton and KU over Miami on April 29th, 2019.
Q is going to really get exposed against the competition there. But hey, you do you kid. Sucks for Silvio. I know he doesn't really want to go through the process but the NCAA hasn't given him much choice.

I’ll also add the staff feels they’re in as good a spot as anyone with Precious. Of course that could change on a dime depending on Silvio/Walker/Tucker.
Meh.
Marco said:
@BShark I don't think Dotson is going to come back.
Noted.
Just passing it along! If Memphis gets Watford, Precious will not go to Memphis. That could be interesting.
Barring him getting a first round guarantee Dotson will be a Jayhawk next season.
Yeah I should have actually stated my thoughts. Precious is probably the least interesting option to me that KU is in on. He's just too raw.
Also isn't Watford going to LSU? Seems like that is all but done.
Not at all on Watford. He may end up there but with all the stuff LSU is going through it’s a lot more open. Nate Oats has done a great job making up ground as well. All 3 schools probably have a shot.

Some wild stuff again on Will Wade.
Book Richardson says LSU coach offered him a job to help with recruitment of Naz Reid. Per Richardson, "look there's a deal in place". "I got $300,000 for him". Richardson, "I said give me half and I'll make sure the kid goes there"
Seems like a strong ass offer to me!

I thought Precious was supose to be making a decision really soon? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY- - -
Could be a month from now. Lots left to play out. We probably won’t know the final roster until August.

@BShark I do too, but that’s only one starting guard with another 2-3 starting guard spots depending on team make up. Plenty of pt for more quality guards.
I don't think you can add RJ, Walker and Tucker. Honestly though it sure seems like Tucker is Auburn bound anyway, and UNC is involved as well.
UNC is out. They took another grad transfer at the same spot.
We’ll take the first of him or Tucker. Staff is selling starting at the 3. Everyone loves Ochai, but we need shooting and athleticism no matter where they play.
So this Kyree Walker thing could happen. We’ll take the first of him and Tucker.
He’s rail, string bean thin right now. Long term prospect.

@FarmerJayhawk I know, of course, if I would have referred to a kid from Norway, you wouldn’t have said a word. My laughs come at leftist whiners like you.
That you think I’m a lefty 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
HighEliteMajor said:
@FarmerJayhawk Some suits are done a contingency basis, so he might have some takers. But like a said, small chance he wants to be under oath, but more likely, he knows exactly what went on.
It's not a slur. It's a joke. Try laughing. It works. And don't change the discussion by injecting "respectful" into the equation. What whiners (like you on this stuff) want is a conversation that meets your criteria of acceptability. The better path, I'd suggest, is for everyone to be a bit less thin skinned, a bit less easily offended -- and for folks like you to be a bit less prone to whine about it.
I would laugh if you were funny.

@FarmerJayhawk Lol, I understand. I remember, both football and basketball was it not? Fixing grades or the equivalent? Which would have made for many ineligible players, yet no probation.
The grades were all legit. The classes themselves... not so much.
Once the UNC got to that point of fake classes offered to regular students as well, it crossed the line from an NCAA issue to a Department of Education issue that should have been investigated by the government to determine appropriate punishment and accreditation issues.
Agree. Thankfully it was contained to a single department. Otherwise it would've been much, much worse and probably why the feds were just like meh.

@dylan it’s a joke from the old theshiver vs PGU days. Old school internet trolling nonsense. No different than fans on twitter nowadays. D
Seedy underbelly of the fan base used to infiltrate our boards constantly. 7 or 8 years later, it all seems pretty silly
Oh jeez, I remember that. That was right about when they got on a recruiting roll and we were in the doldrums. And then 2013 happened and all was well again before 247 bought The Shiver.
HighEliteMajor said:
@FarmerJayhawk On your question, it's a great point -- SDS could claim breach of fiduciary duty. A civil claim. But of course, SDS would never sue because as I've mentioned in other posts, no one wants a civil suit with discovery -- depositions with witnesses under oath. SDS being one. But I'm pretty confident it's not a crime unless Fenny stole money from him, or something like that.
One reading on this is that because SDS hasn't sued Fenny, it's more evidence that they are one in the same. If Fenny acted unilaterally, who has damaged SDS more than him? But there is no lawsuit from SDS.
You don't have to ignore what you mentioned in your last sentence. Whiny leftists see what they want. But I am anti ILLEGAL immigrant/migrant, very much so (the "illegal" part is immaterial to whiny leftists nowadays). And I say a lot of stuff that a whiny leftist would see as borderline racist, even a joke about where someone lived (of course, if the kid lived in Norway, and I suggested he put down his Viking horns, crawled off his Nordland, and came to America, you wouldn't have said a thing). A black from Africa isn't exempt to jokes about where he's from.
And Silvio can't afford a civil suit anyway. He's not exactly swimming in cash. I wouldn't be surprised if he does take some action against Fenny if his appeal is denied.
Painting me as a whiny lefty is hilarious. I've done more for limited government causes than 99.99% of the country. It would still be a slur if you said that about a Norwegian. A good rule of thumb is just to not joke about anyone's ethnicity. Just a reminder that respectful /=/ whiny.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I know he wasn't an adult when he came to this country. I of course looked at his birthdate before I posted. The point is he was an adult during his recruiting, when the cash was received, and when he signed. There is no "guardian" of an adult unless the adult is disabled. It's comical how you again state your opinion as fact.
You know nothing. You have no idea how SDS was involved, if he knew, etc. Yet you take the position he's a victim.
My position, on the other hand, is conditioned upon the claim that he (or his agent, guardian, etc) received money being true. If it is true .. as I mentioned. Big difference.
If someone acts on your behalf, they are an agent. You can check the definition if you need to.
Question. What if they act on your behalf without your consent or permission in a way that harms you? Because that’s what happened, and it’s pretty clear. And probably a crime. I’ll just ignore the anti-immigrant and borderline racist sentiment.

You know I do! I’m back baby!
Lol I remember that from way back in the day. Still gonna be on your gravestone?
I’d take Seventh for depth as long as he’s a grad transfer. He’s a good ballhandler, defender, and passer. Good locker room guy too. Just can’t shoot a lick.

Seventh Woods leaving UNC. Big disappointment for them.
Could see Dooley or Martin get him I think he'll be a solid contributor somewhere.
Can't blame him honestly. He's been recruited over every year he's been at UNC. Honestly if he's a grad transfer I wouldn't mind taking him just for depth. We really lack ball handlers (among other things) right now.
Given UNC's rigorous course work...maybe!
If it's not rigorous, that's news to my students! UNC has done a lot to ensure that doesn't happen. The university randomly audits courses now to make sure we're all doing what we're supposed to. I can't even let undergrads out of class more than 5 minutes early. If the university found out they could fire me. It's kind of wild

Going to be tough to beat out Arkansas but I'd take Walker in a second.

Walker is a lot like Tucker honestly. Big, physical wings with very good athleticism who can really stroke it. Last year Walker shot 47% from 3 and 77% from the line in HS ball. Dude can play, and is a great fit at the 3 for us. But yeah, he and Tucker can't play together since that would leave only Dotson on the ball.
