Any room for Kerry Blackshear? He pulled out of the draft and is eligible immediately
So Q goes from a OAD to a 3 year guy.

Statement from Self
It doesn’t sound like Q will be back. I bet his family will sit down with Self in the next week and see if they can come to some agreement, but I bet he transfers.
Wow. Huge news.

Q withdrawing does not mean he’s staying with Kansas.
That’s how I read it as well. Daniels tweet did not say withdrawing AND returning to KU....
Theory: Nike knows it is under the microscope so now it has to spread the love around a little more and not just Duke, UK, UNC, Oregon, and LSU....
Everything I read was that he was supposed to fly home yesterday and didn't have anything planned for today as far as workouts.
@jayballer73 30th. So should be here Thursday to Saturday

Do we know what time tomorrow decisions have to be turned in?
I believe it’s midnight eastern tomorrow. I expect him to announce some in the morning. I’m sure they will make the decision this evening.
@drgnslayr In terms of kids that go to P5 schools and especially blue blood schools in either FB or basketball they are 100% not suffering. They live better lives than 99% of the rest of the country. That was what I was referring too.
As far as getting strung along I agree. That is part of the game. it sucks 100% and IMO is a bad look on someone as a person overall but that is the way the RJ and his Dad wanted to play this.
@FarmerJayhawk Probably but not necessarily. Dana Dotson is quoted in a Star article saying that 92% of the top 22 picks in the second round received guaranteed deals. I did not know that either. That is almost everyone... I guess it comes down to how much you want guaranteed.
Has Walker ever mentioned himself that he is thinking about reclassifying? I just haven't seen anything about it... Really haven't seen much on him at all.
Jalen Wilson is still visiting in two days.

Wow... Aussie ball. First I heard of it I was thinking it was a dumb move. But after reading RJ's comments, it seems like the right thing for him. Why should these OADs suffer through a year of academics and very little compensation? Looks like his folks will join him and it may end up being very worthwhile, even beyond the big payday!
RJ was honest in saying he never wanted to play D1. So, most likely, he isn't really a loss to KU because he might have just been a spirit downer to the rest of our team.
Good luck, RJ!
I don't think the word "suffer" really fits here.

Been in the works for 3 months!! Surely Self knew this.
I’m officially worried about Dotson. CJ Moore said he won’t decide until tomorrow and is still on the fence.
@BShark I don’t want to even think of this team without Dotson so I’m not. 😁 they don’t definitely need another piece as well.
There is a lot of smoke suggesting R.J. is headed overseas. I wonder if Self is on the phone with Q trying to kiss and make up. Not saying he would come back , but we need another player in the back court...
Welp. Just when we thought we had something.
Oh boy. That would be a huge blow.
Guess we are going to have to wait until the last seconds with Dotson. I kind of thought we would have heard something by now. I assume all workouts are over .
@FarmerJayhawk he commits then comes with Jalen Thursday for the visit!
@FarmerJayhawk think it’s KU??
Self is in Australia with his family so he might not even know yet!! Imagine he will be happy waking up to all of those texts.
It makes sense if you can get one to do it, but I think the only option would be Mitch. I just don't think Enaruna would be interested in doing that.

Didn't know where to post this, but here is CBS Sports post combine prospect rankings. Dotson is at 73 so that should tell you all you need to know about him coming back.
Dedric @ 48
Grimes @ 67
Yes !!

Per cbs sports...Devon Dotson mike probably coming back!!!
Might probably come back?
Sounds like KU or Memphis to me but who knows. IMO they are waiting to make sure Grimes is not coming back. Hopefully it is over by next weekend.
Some new quotes from Rod Hampton today per Adam Zagoria.
"We will know a lot more after next week" " Need to see who stays in NBA"
Maybe it is just the way the 2019 recruiting cycle has gone, but I would not be surprised if he ends up back at Michigan.
Howard to Michigan is a done deal. 5 year deal.
@rockchalkwyo Thanks. Well obviously they are not sold on all of the Wilson and KU chatter.
@rockchalkwyo Who made those?
Just saw that Michigan assistant Luke Yaklich would most likely head to Texas if and when the Howard deal is finalized. Would be a big time hire for Shaka.
Looks like Juwan Howard is going to get the Michigan job.
Jalen Wilson has scheduled a UNC visit for June 3-5
Well hopefully Long is right is they / we do hear something by the 29th. I can’t imagine he would say that if he wasn’t extremely confident they would.
Either way it will be nice to know and move on. Hopefully it’s with SDS but my confidence level is not high.
According to Evan Daniels per RJ's father he may visit with Jalen when he visits. Also targeting first week of June for announcement.

Corey Evans tweeted that Jalen Wilson has scheduled his first visit, but it’s premium so I couldn’t see where. Anyone know ??
Kansas. May 30 through June 1.
Awesome.

I do not know who would want to take Dotson in the first. He can’t shoot the NBA 3 yet and he will not finish at the NBA level like he did last season. He’s not a prolific passer.
I’d be shocked.
This is my thinking as well. He isn’t strong enough to finish at the rim in the NBA, can’t make NBA threes, and can’t create his own shot. He’s just not a NBA PG right now. He will be in time, but I don’t see it right now

I just don’t really understand the Dotson thing. They can coexist without a problem.
@FarmerJayhawk So you think he ends up playing pro ball next year? Any idea when first Summer school session starts?
Damn. Andrew Slater seems pretty confident that Hampton is going to China.
