UK vs KU in Big 12/SEC Challege. • May 14, 2015 10:03 PM

I get the Hot Links every time and make my mom and dad break out the grill. Even if there is a foot of snow on the ground.

I was born and raised there. I left in 1997 when I joined the USMC but I visit every couple of months. My parents are still there.

Here's a fun one for you: walked into BWW in Lawrence. Looks like LaGerald Vick is here with the #kubball coaching staff.

@Crimsonorblue22 I was born and raised in Kansas but joined the Marine Corps in 1997. I am currently living in TX. I have been all over the world and watched KU play in many different places. I am the guy wearing a crimson and blue getting verbally abused in venues all over the US. I was at the Arizona vs Kansas game in 01, UK vs KU in 05, Florida vs Kansas in 06, and many others. This year I am going to take in some Texas games and I am PUMPED! KU will be here 4 times UT, Baylor, Tech, and TCU. I am going to try to make all 4.

@RockkChalkk I don't have a membership to that site either. I was just posting some of the chatter surrounding these 2 recruits and KU.

kubball LaGerald Vick in Lawrence today to see KU. New living quarters and wing for the original rules of bball going up. Good stuff to see

KU will be the first visit for Kobie Eubanks and he tells us he's excited about the upcoming trip https://kansas.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1765263 ↗ … #kubball

6'5 SG Kobie Eubanks will make an official visit to KU this Saturday through Monday. The former Baylor commit is ranked around 100 in 2015.

Jayhawks are trying to nail down one last big recruit

6-foot-5 wing from Memphis LaGerald Vick is on campus right now and has been since Wednesday for an official visit. Another 2015 prospect, 6 foot 5 shooting guard Kobie Eubanks will be on campus this weekend. I believe these visits are vital and these two young guards are a must have. KU has plenty of talent on the roster but could really use some quality depth. Injuries and NCAA violations have haunted us in the tournament for the last two seasons and you just never know what's around the corner?

SG LaGerald Vick to begin Kansas visit | From @GaryBedore http://ljw.bz/1KIRDyj ↗ #kubball

@HighEliteMajor KU has not offered Papagiannis so I don't think its going to happen? Its been real quiet in the twittersphere in regards to Papagiannis and his final destination.

@wissoxfan83 we have 2 schillies left and have 2 top 100 guards visiting this week.

@jaybate-1.0 When I feel it, I do it!

Which Guard? • May 12, 2015 03:04 AM

@HighEliteMajor For Devonte Graham Turf toe can often progress into a chronic problem, in which the joint(s) never really heals or heals too slowly to return to usual physical activities. It can become more serious if left untreated, and may cause serious problems for the athlete.

Brannen Greene's surgery for a torn labrum will require crutches for up to six weeks and there should be no expectation that he can return to activities such as running for at least a period of six months (according to web MD).

Wayne Selden dealt with a left knee injury throughout most of his freshman campaign. Though he played through it, the ailment required arthroscopic surgery in the offseason in 2014.

Frank Mason was warn down and wearing knee support on both legs by the end of the season this year. Svi has not proven him self so if HCBS puts on his recruiting shoes he should be able to land someone. I am worried that one of these injuries re surfaces next year but I sure hope it doesn't!

@drgnslayr "But it really isn't a threat. How many teams can there be that fill up with OADs? Let them go... It's the same kids that would skip to the league from HS if they could anyways. This league will have a hard time staying alive for long, but it only has to be long enough to help push the NCAA into a better arrangement for student/athletes. Gosh... they might even get paid more than a tiny stipend and room/board."

It could open the door for anyone in the top 100 that doesn't want an education. These kids will develop and would take a lot less money to skip out on the books and develop their craft. I believe that this could really pull the rug out from under the NCAA. It is a REAL threat and I bet its got the attention of the NCAA, NBA, and The all mighty SHOE companies.

This will force the NBA to let kids out of high school enter the draft if the NCAA wants to continue pocketing its March madness earnings.

@Kip_McSmithers If this works it COULD ruin college basketball all together. This will NOT be the only team around if the NM team is a financial success. It could turn into an entire league with teams sprouting up all over the country. IF the NCAA and the NBA don't do anything about this right now these teams could snatch up all of the top 100 talent around the country before anyone knows what hit them.

Rock Chalk News ‏@rockchalk_news · 12h12 hours ago
Rumors have LaGerald Vick visiting #KU soon too.

@JayHawkFanToo " he was seriously exposed at the Nike Hoops Summit"

I don't believe you can judge ones talent level over the course of ONE game. Ivan Rabb had 2 pts, 1 blk, and 3 reb in that same game so based on that one game is he a bust?

@JayHawkFanToo I personally wouldn't mind adding a guy with one of the highest ceilings in the 2015 class and we will probably have a scholarship to give anyways. He could end up being crucial if Ellis, Bragg, or Diallo get injured.

Tevin Mack • May 06, 2015 04:37 PM

Interested to see if Tevin Mack is visiting this weekend. Not much confirmation he is, but there was one source last night on Twitter.

@BeddieKU23 Going into next year with Mason, Graham, Selden, and Svi without Greene at 100% in the championship classic we could run into foul trouble? Then what? I think we could use another guard.

@drgnslayr LOL UK will trend on everyones CB. UK was like 90% on Brown.

I will give some more updates on the recruiting front tomorrow. Too tired to dig up anything new tonight. I need to find out if we are still a player in the Georgios Papagiannis recruitment tomorrow. It would be a luxury to have a 7 foot center but would absolutely cause a transfer if one is not already in the works? We need a big combo guard or 2 to back up Selden. We have 2 big wings, 2 point guards and one combo or 2 guard. Someone has to take over when Selden leaves next year with the other 5 guys that will turn pro or graduate. If anything the 2016-2017 team could be the one that breaks the streak. If our coaching staff doesn't sign the #1 2016 recruiting class we can not continue our dominance missing Selden, Ellis, Cheick, Hunter, Traylor, and possibly Svi. That leaves us with Mason, Graham, Greene, Bragg, and Lucas. SCARY!!!!

I think Joel gets the pat on the back for this one. Cheick said he talked to Joel ALOT about school and how KU will help him develop his game.

@blackmild33 I'm not sure KU has officially offered Tevin Mack, Lagerald Vick, or Kevaughn Allen BUT he has reached out to all of them and I am sure he would take any of them at this time. This late in the game you don't get to prioritize. Take what you can get especially with UK reaching out to all of them as well.

KANSAS BASKETBALL TEAM STILL AT WORK • May 05, 2015 10:09 PM

I like that Frank is in the back cheering on his teammate's. Taking on a leadership role in the gym as well.

Tevin Mack • May 05, 2015 09:49 PM

@wrwlumpy Me too! I am anxious to see who HCBS signs late? Mason, Graham, and Doyle were all 3 under rated and late pick ups by HCBS. All 3 are solid players! I am glad we have some depth in the front court because there are fewer talented un signed bigs out there. Fewer diamonds in the rough at 6"10and up. There are still some untapped under the radar and under 6'6" kids out there HCBS can pick up.

Tevin Mack • May 05, 2015 08:24 PM

This is what I say when ALL of our players leave!

Tevin Mack • May 05, 2015 08:10 PM

I would take a http://www.loyolaramblers.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/milton_doyle_819406.html ↗ right about now! Our KU transfer became the first player in Loyola's program history to lead team in scoring (14.9 ppg), assists (115, 3.6 apg), steals (38, 1.2 spg) and blocks (23, 0.7 bps).

@Crimsonorblue22 Most of my time following KU I have watched these highlight videos of incoming players which are impressive BUT watching Cheick this spring was like watching entire games of highlights! He is more impressive than ANY single recruit we have seen at KU in my lifetime!

Maybe?
