@BeddieKU23 Wiggins family connection to FSU was legit.

@nuleafjhawk So you are saying that Traylor, Lucas, and Mickelson will have more of an impact than Diallo?
@JayHawkFanToo KU wasn't in the mix for Wiggins either. It was FSU and UK if I remember right? I will get some intel tonight! I will have a full report by tomorrow.
@Crimsonorblue22 and as of this morning Michigan was gaining momentum BUT with the Diallo news and the possible preseason #1 pending his recruitment to KU I think the tide is turning!

I fully expect Self to land one of SF Tevin Mack or SF Jaylen Brown. Both could help in different ways. #kubball
@Crimsonorblue22 There has been A LOT of talk about him wanting to go to an Adidas school and now add in the WUG and the fact that if Brown follows Diallo its been said KU would be Pre season #1. The favorites to win it all next year!
Sure would be nice to have Andrew White as a senior this year!
@JayHawkFanToo Its not going to be a walk in the park this go round.
@JayHawkFanToo YEP LOL. I said on this post it would be shortly after 3:30 and man my contacts we right on!
I believe for the WUG's this summer with Greene out and Svi not eligible KU NEEDS him. I think after researching everything I have looked at KU is where he will end up. Not only that I just really want to get one more on UK and PUKE. I want KU to be so loaded next year that nothing can stop us! Just sayn

2015 Kentucky target Cheick Diallo has committed to Kansas, per @PaulBiancardi. Only Jaylen Brown is left on the Big Board.
Cheick is on the web right now. We could hear something shortly?
@JayHawkFanToo He adds anyone that shoots him a Friend request. There are a lot of UK retards on his FB page begging him to come to UK. They look SO desperate! I sure hope Cheick picks anyone BUT UK.

Hearing Cheick Diallo to #Kansas - heard Coach Self closed - not making the call, just passing along the info #JayhawkNation #BBN #StJohns

Kansas has edge over Kentucky in #Crystalball for Cheick Diallo. St. John's 3rd. My pick is KU. Announcement nearing. http://bit.ly/1gOJIQS ↗
Cheick was on FB 8m ago..
I am watching it un fold atm. His Wiki page keeps changing to different schools and I think either someone hacked it OR he is changing it to build up some commotion around his recruitment.
I am currently stalking his FB account to see when he gets on. I am guessing his announcement will be on twitter some time after 3:30 et. I will keep ya'll updated.
Derek Skillett @derek_skillett · 1m1 minute ago
Rumblings in the twitter-universe say that Cheick Diallo will make his decision today. #kubball considered strong favorite. @KansanSports
Recruit Hawk @RecruitHawk · 2m2 minutes ago
Sounds like Cheick Diallo will be making his decision today. Would be wildly disappointed if he doesn't pick KU, especially in favor of UK.

@fancaster #KU fans are you ready? @fancaster predicts #Jayhawks will land #CheickDiallo, biggest recruit since #Wiggins & #Embiid. @JerryMeyer #Kansas
Rock Chalk News @rockchalk_news · 2m2 minutes ago
Noted #UK writer @marcum89 has just put #KU as his pick for Cheick Diallo on 24/7 sports trending #KU up to 39%. Still close but #KU gaining
@Crimsonorblue22 IDK? It was breaking news I thought everyone would like to know lol

BREAKING: Cheick Diallo has decided to take his talents to a school with #university in the title. #HeardItHereFirst #CheickWatch15
@JhawkAlum Really? He has a standing reach of 9'1.5" (taller than Zimmerman) which would suggest he could defend the 3pt line all the way to the basket and probably rebound a little bit as well. I think we NEED anyone we can get at this point. He also played point on his AAU team last summer before he grew another 3-4 inches. So he is possibly an A Davis type player if he puts on a couple pounds this summer?
I think KU has a good chance to land Ingram. The KU shirt and his dad doing some damage control saying “We are asking regardless of where he goes to continue to be a Brandon Ingram fan. You don’t have to be a fan of where he goes; you can still be a Brandon Ingram fan. That’s all we ask. We appreciate the support everyone has given us and we’re going to continue to support him,”. I think Ingram following most of the current KU players and starting out this year saying he wanted to play with Bragg (possible a package deal) is kind of a big deal. If you look past all of the PUKE fans saying he is a PUKE lean and look at Ingram's actions it paints a big KU picture. KU could be sitting pretty with Ingram and Diallo by Tuesday?
I just posted "ALL OF BBN GETTING DESPERATE LOL" on Diallo's fb wall.

College basketball recruiting hot take for you, if Kentucky doesn't sign Jaylen Brown or Cheick Diallo they will go from 38-0 to the NIT.
@JayHawkFanToo Cody Mohs @Schmohs2008 · 22m22 minutes ago
@kayjust6012 Definitely! So many rumors out but this person I think was right about TRob & Selby to KU as well. Hoping it comes true!
Cody Mohs @Schmohs2008 · 20m20 minutes ago
A source posted on JayhawkSlant that we will have Jaylen Brown and Cheick Diallo by next week! Really hope this is true
KU misses on another recruit!
@dylans I would BUT I think they have all shut out the social media and know where they want to go. Just a waiting game for us fans now.

@Joey_Powell Roy taking Brandon Ingram some eastern NC BBQ? Yeah, maybe #UNC ain't out of this thing yet! #TomatoBasedSauceIsGarbage
Statmachine @calanr · 47s47 seconds ago
@Joey_Powell I doubt Ingram wants to take Afro-American Studies and defiantly doesn't want to take Swahili BUT he will take the BBQ. LOL
I guess Ingram doesn't want to take African and Afro-American Studies at UNC and defiantly doesn't want to take Swahili classes where he will NOT learn to speak ONE word in Swahili. I guess he doesn't want to have to lie about it like UNC is doing right now and smearing Ingram's name in it. If I were Ingram's parents and ol Roy was Lying about what he told my child to cover his ass I would be furious. I would record the conversation tonight when Roy trying to backtrack and hand it to the media.

Stay positive.
I replied to his tweet with this lol
@B_Ingram13 Move away from the in state pressure and go to KU. You will get your own nutritionist and a weight trainer to get you ready!

@Crimsonorblue22 He does look awfully frail. I suppose he grew 3 inches and put on no weight during the basketball season. He NEEDS a nutritionist and a weight trainer big time!
I can see Ingram snapping his legs trying to squat that lol.
@Crimsonorblue22 I just tweeted this to Ingram, and Diallo letting them know that they would get some serious strength and conditioning during their ONE year layover at KU.
@Crimsonorblue22 I hope we have to because we should still have a scholarship left and why not try to fill it with some height? I cant imagine KU landing 3 of the 4 left on the board. That would be beyond my wildest dreams if that happened. I would be smiling from ear to ear until next April!
It appears that ALL of the OAD's left on the board will announce with in the next week. After the dust settles it will look like the US is invading Greece with all of the college basketball head coaches and assistant coaches headed there to court Georgios Papagiannis.
@JayHawkFanToo No clue!
@JayHawkFanToo He has said he WILL play ball in the states next year and will make a decision in June.
@JayHawkFanToo I believe Georgios Papagiannis is actually HCBS's TOP priority based specifically on need BUT he has spent so much time and $$$ recruiting the 4 guys left on the board if he makes it public that his top priority is the Greek big man it might change the trajectory of Diallo. We need Georgios Papagiannis for 3-4 years MORE than we need any OAD but I believe Self's OAD credibility would be crushed if he regressed and perused lesser talent before the top guys are off the board. Just my take on recruiting.
Courtney Cronin @CourtneyRCronin · Apr 21
To clear this up: Malik Newman will announce his college decision at 12 p.m. Fri in a closed setting live streamed at http://clarionledger.com ↗
This girl has been following him around and she is in the know. She did predict UK though so I would imagine if anyone had any idea it would be her.
If I had to guess one guy that KU has the best chances at it would be Georgios Papagiannis because of the recent success with foreign prospects. Wiggins, Embiid, and Svi are the best foreign prospects over the last couple of years that played in the NCAA. I think it holds a lot of weight with guys looking to come to the states and play college ball. This is the guy other teams would have to double team and meets your back to the basket 5. I actually think KU lands him this summer.
I think Dook is in the lead for Ingrams services BUT if Diallo signs with KU before monday it could be just enough to put us in the lead. KU will return its 3 leading scorers Ellis, Mason, and Selden. Imagine a front court of Diallo, Ellis, and Bragg with a back court of Mason, Selden, Ingram, Svi, Greene, and Graham. That's big time! Its 9 guys that I feel comfortable that we do not drop in production when we sub.
