@Crimsonorblue22 It does say KU contacted him so I guess the answer is absolutely!
@Statmachine Even if these guys don't pan out I just thought you all might like to know HCBS is still piecing together next years title run!

kubball has reached out to 6-5 shooting guard LaGerald Vick, who backed out of verbal commitment to SMU last night (more)http://usatodayhss.com/2015/could-legerald-vick-be-the-next-basketball-star-to-reclassify-to-2015. β
This is the real cherry on top!
I don't know about you all but I am getting all jacked up about the 2015-2016 season!!! Best part is HCBS is still recruiting and I believe we are good just the way it is now!
If Cheick is anything like this I can see one of the bigs looking elsewhere.

KU could be going after former Florida commit KeVaughn Allen if he reopens his recruitment. Top 50 player nationally. #kubball

2015 Florida signee KeVaughn Allen will wait until Florida hires their next coach before making a decision on his future, per a source.
Hearing Florida has met or will meet with North Little Rock guard KeVaughn Allen today. If Self brought in Tevin Mack and KeVaughn Allen it would really kick it up a notch! I have heard from the rumor mill Self is interested in KeVaughn Allen if he transfers.
I have been watching Tevin Mack's FB and Twitter all day. BORED

Tevin Mack will likely visit Kansas soon. This is a good sign #kubball
@BeddieKU23 You have to remember Smart walked out on his obligation for the kids that play for VCU so I don't believe that Mack has any obligation to follow him to UT. If KU is the better option in Mack's eyes he will commit to KU. Loyalty works both ways and Smart left him hanging first.
I have been following all of the 2016 KU recruits (or scholarship offers) and I could make a lot of assumptions based off of their twitter posts. Some of these kids are commenting heavily on UK so I could make the assumption that they are going to UK and that's how most experts decide on their CB predictions. Same with KU BUT if Cheick and Bragg are still around next year do you really think all of the big guys leaning towards KU will commit to KU? I doubt it. The CB is a good measuring stick when kids are talking BUT if their not (like Brown, and Wiggins) most of the picks are just band wagon picks because some kid says they had a great official visit and said they loved the coach and program.
@BeddieKU23 The crystal ball does not mean anything to me any more! That same crystal ball had Brown at a 5% chance to end up at Cali. Most of those experts follow ever high school athlete in every sport so when they see someone closest to the source make their predictions everyone jumps on the band wagon. Doesn't mean that expert has any relevant information. Could be a gut feeling which obviously means nothing.
@Crimsonorblue22 I copy pasted a Tweet from someone else. I know Brown went to Cali so now we wait and see if it pans out?
@Crimsonorblue22 Yes he did. Mack is 4 year player and a NEED for the WUG! I hope KU snags him.

Tevin Mack reportedly down to KU and UT. My guess is he is waiting on Jaylen Brown. If Brown goes elsewhere, I expect Mack to KU. #kubball

Sounds like Tevin Mack is going to be the last piece of the #kubball roster, though I wouldnβt rule out a 5th year or juco guy
Salt N Pepa - Let'S Talk About Cheicks (The Original)
What number will Cheick dawn on his new KU uniform? I got one for you Cheicksdy nine!!!
So now that Austin Hatch has ben cut loose and Brown committed to Cal what's next for this kid who has been tossed aside to make room for someone that didn't pan out? I feel bad for him and the UM program should be ashamed of them selves for their actions. Its a slime ball move that they probably took out of the UK recruiting hand book! Disgusting!
I love love love IT!!! Calipari flat out doesn't know what to do this late in the game! His team will be LUCKY if they make it past the first round of the NIT. Hope no one gets hurt because outside of the starting 5 the talent level drops significantly! He is going to go after Mack now too. I would put money on it that he has already contacted all 4 of the kids that have signed with Florida.

Mickelson is on his toes too. He might have grown some more? Hard to tell?
My question is, does he get an assist and 2 points for that?
He is on his tip toes
βHeβs a freak athlete,β Givony said. βHe guards, he rebounds, he blocks shots. He has an amazing body with a long wingspan. There are not many guys in college with those physical attributes. If he develops a reliable corner 3, he is going to be an NBA player.β

This one play makes me LOVE this guy! BFF's with Cheick and KU is recruiting him.
I have started hearing rumblings of KeVaughn Allen being a flight risk. He would make another good addition if he wanted to ride the pine this entire year? Add in Brown or Mack and that's a pretty solid class. Wishful thinking.

My latest predictions:
Jaylen Brown- Michigan
Thon Maker- Arizona State
Tevin Mack- Kansas
The 5 position is one item I would like some input on. There are some of you that understand things far more in depth than I do here so here goes. Diallo's standing reach is 9'1" which is the same standing reach or greater as Zimmerman (Tarik Black has an 8'11" standing reach). Diallo is not as tall but theoretically should be just as effective playing the 5 as Zimmerman. I believe Diallo can probably jump higher, is more athletic, and has a 7'4" wing span so shouldn't signing Diallo be more significant than almost all of the 2015 OAD 5's? If your finger tips measure the same height as a 7 footer than you are basically the same height in basketball terms since you don't play with your head. If you are rebounding a ball you only have to jump the same distance as the 7 footer so BINGO right? DID we sign someone that can compete at the 5 when we landed Diallo?
Next up Tevin Mack, I think our chances are better with Mack more so than anyone else left in the top 100. Should be a good 4 year relationship for all of you older more sentimental fans that like watching players develope. HCBS is said to have paid Mack a visit this week and my sources tell me KU is a strong candidate for his services. I have infiltrated his inner circle similar to Diallo so I actually have good info on this kid.
I believe next years team will resemble the 2010-2011 team that was favored to win it all. No 7'ers but but similar to the Morri and T-rob we have Ellis, Diallo, and Bragg. I guess we will see how these 3 stack up to the FOE team? Those are some large shoes to fill but there is some resemblance Marcus the shorter twin and Ellis the shorter 4 on this years team will lead in scoring followed by Diallo the taller but not as polished 5 similar to how we played the Morri. With HOPEFULLY quality bench minutes from Bragg similar to T-Rob (and I am not compairing the 2 lol). Our back court is just as good if not better the 3rd 4th and 5th leading scorers on that team were Reed, Taylor, and Selby. I believe Mason, Selden, and Svi could be just as or possible more effective than the 2010-2011 back court.
I like our chances next year and I think Brown would take it to the next level BUT he has broken the silence and is starting to talk. Its looking like MU and UK are the biggest possible destinations for him. Tevin Mack seems more realistic for KU. I guess we will see?
David Niday β@hickman1987 Β· 3m3 minutes ago
With Jaylen Brown visit 3 days ago by Self and Roberts 247 Sports recruiting analysts starting to favor KU for his services! RCJH!!
@JayHawkFanToo YES. He has all of the information one would need to make a decision at this juncture in his recruitment. He is enjoying all of the media attention. He went from having 10-15 tweets an hour to 100-150 an hour.
@jaybate-1.0 I too have been watching Brown and trying to get anything on his school of choice. I have found a lot of Brown impersonators and Brown insiders BUT no one really knows where he will end up? Its like Wiggins recruitment as far as people assuming he is going to UM or UK just because they think UM (family) and UK (Cal) everyone thinks Cal is going to use his magic fishing pole and land Brown. Before this year UK fans just expect him to go out and land big fish. Its not happening late in the fishing season though lol. Brown wants to go to an Adidas school, Brown wants to win, Brown KNOWS his best shot at both is KU. If you were Brown and you had the WORLD watching you similar to Wiggins then you bask in the spot light for a short period longer and commit to KU. KU is the logical leader of the teams still on his short list other than the family factor and Adidas affiliation UM. The real race is UM and KU. I don't believe UK is neck and neck with UM and the twitterverse is going crazy with Bragg and Diallo working Brown over atm. My bet is KU at this time and until he says other wise I believe he will join KU.
I don't have it locked in on when he will commit like I did on Cheick but I will do my best!
My goodness there is a TON of Jaylen Brown to KU chatter in the twitterverse! I'm starting to believe guys I really am!

@HighEliteMajor "If Brown comes to Kansas, then what is the fallout? Greene transfers or redshirts? Svi leaves?
How in the world does a player of the caliber of Svi or Greene risk being the 6th perimeter guy (odd man out)?".
We signed Bragg a while back. We just about crapped our britches worrying about Diallo but no ones going OMG what about Mickelson, Lucas, or Traylor? I believe we call it depth.
OK Buckets! I have my stuff in place to figure out who's going to fill our remaining scholarship? Jaylen Brown, Tevin Mack, or Georgios Papagiannis. I know some of you are hopeful we get Mack because there is a far less chance someone leaves KU for Bluer skies. I also know there are some of you that would trade our 11 straight BIG 12 titles for another championship season. I want another championship NOW so bring on Brown force a medical rs on Greene and add Georgios Papagiannis. LETS DO THIS!!!

I think they will still go with our guys because they are allowed to take 3 extra guys and I believe they will be allowed unlimited practice with the team this summer also? I hope that's the case any how...
