@jayballer54 Except Randle isn't really a center, I think, right? He should have been dominated by Joel because he's out of position. In college he was a power forward, he's only 6'9" against a 7'2" guy.
True but not JO'S JO'S fault. - -he can only guard who he is told to guard - besides more and more position less BB anymore. - And Randle has graduated from College this is the NBA may have a power forward in College but it's called welcome to the NBA lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

How fitting would it be to see him sit the year.
I don't think this is super likely but it would be pretty hilarious. Especially given that crap he was spewing about maybe staying a second year.

@jayballer54 Notice all the articles on Grimes where he said his mom didn't push him to KU? Said she wanted it to be his decision and his alone.
" EXACTLY " and that's the way it should be. - He is the one that needs to be happy at the College he is attending - -It's his future we are talking about here - It should be HIS decision.

First rule about sports is you can never have too much talent.
Also @jayballer54 some weird stuff happening with Michael Porter JR. He went from missing one game just to be safe to not traveling with the team pretty fast.

@justanotherfan @BeddieKU23 et al something to keep in mind is Doke plays a dying position. I think he needs to show more based on what I'm hearing/reading but we will see. Great thing is KU will be fine either way.
Thing is bud - -IF again I - -say IF somehow - for some reason -Doke & Vick came back - -would there be enough spots available - -I'm sure coach threw at these recruits for next year that these people more chances then not would not be coming back - -especially when he is tell these guys that chances are they start. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawkChamp OH good another Randle - that means when he went on to the NBA it could be another one for JO JO to dominate like he did Randle - that's a lot of what the talk about was from the game how Randle had no chance against JO JO - I'm just messing with ya about another Randle but that would make JO JO's eyes light up for sure lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BShark I Think so - - my famous gut feeling lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
HawkChamp said:
What are we thinking the odds are that Dok comes back?
Well I really don't count for anything but If you were to ask me now, compared to say 3-4 months ago now I'm swaying more.
Here is my thoughts may not amount to squat but anyways, I'm getting more of a feeling there could be that chance Doke could return, before I thought for sure no matter what he was gone.
The reason for me thinking that is as I've said before - -still really raw, he just has to develop and or work on some kind of a shot other then dunk - I mean sure he could be drafted off his size alone always a place for a man of that size - -BUT if he doesn't have some kind of shot going to be really hard for him . - -Plus I'm just not really convinced because it seems the NBA is kind of trending away from that true Big man, seems to be going with more of smaller quicker line up - the days of the old big I think is setting in the sunset. Really fast pace - Doke has to get that conditioning down, If I had to make a solid prediction right now. -I'd probably still lean a little more that he is gone, but just think there is more of a chance of a return then I thought before because of why I mentioned. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BShark How would it be any different with KJ & Dedric playing at KU then at when they played at Memphis? - - they played at the same time on the floor a lot while at Memphis - why then couldn't that be the case here at KU? - - I don't think KJ would be competing against Dedric here. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
BShark said:
@jayballer54 I think we can only get Romeo if Vick and Newman are gone. Either way KU is in a great spot next year with a stacked roster.
Well I don't think there should be to much of a problem then if it comes to that.
I think I read somewhere that's a pretty well given , that it has been said Newman is gone after this year -whether ready or not. - I think this is gonna be another case where he either tests the waters, BUT I think he has already tested once & I think I heard you can only test NBA waters once without declaring - he wouldn't be able to return , so he then declares for the NBA and if it's a no go then he heads over sea's like so many others and plays a couple of years and then maybe tries NBA again.
As far as Vick - -I think he is gone , I just really don't have any doubt , If he has any kind of season at all - he is gone. So that shouldn't really be a problem with Romeo I don't think - but who knows for sure on these things - once again just my famous gut feeling lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BShark Ya I agree with you that if HE wants to go to Clemson then he should. - -BUT I'm hearing it's more his daddy Zion that wants this, and with that - -I think that's wrong. - Like you said if that's what Zion wants great, BUT it's Zion's future - -he should do what HE wants more then what daddy wants. I understand his dad or step ad whatever went to Clemson - and I understand that trying to please the parents plays a role in a lot of these kids decision but , in the end run at the end of the day - -It should be totally 100% Zion's decision it's his future not daddys.
Your right Zion shouldn't even be in College next year BUT - having said that, the more I think about it and have heard I think if KU had a decision between the two I would STILL take Romeo, just think he is more of that COMPLETE player - don't get me wrong I would take Zion in a heartbeat would be one of those cases for me if I were the Coach in a case with them it would be whoever committed first -for sure a win win. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Welp, Soooooooooo , now what - - -since the early recruiting period is over and we just torched the scene - -what now? - - - Awsome having secured these four in the early period. - Got to tell ya I'm just drained though from a couple I'm exhausted they coming or not, just feel about like I did when I was younger - -ALOT younger after a hot session of some romping hootie-hoot with my ex wife - -wait or was it my OTHER GF lol - anyways I'm drained emotionally.
Now just got to kick back watch our current boys , hope Billy gets his act together and Santa Claus brings us De-Sousa for the 2nd semester.
Going to start my serious Romeo Langford campaign now. - As I feel between the two between Romeo and Zion we have a better chance at Romeo - - just feel now that Zion might quite likely stay in state at Clemson. - -So I got to get busy make sure Romeo comes lol. So I am officially on let's go Romeo - - Come - -Come young man Jayhawk Nation awaits you campaign.
Actually even if we get neither our recruiting class has been awesome , if neither come hell who knows we might end up getting a little less know 3-4 yr quality type player yet, even then not sure where are biggest need now lays Front line or Back court? - I think it would have to be front line what you think? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@Statmachine Well, I do know or should say I've read that Bol , Bol was pretty turned off or his mom was when he got cut from the team Cal was Coaching and that kind of had a long term effect with him. - -Looks like Bol ends up more then likely at Oregon. - -I guess I'm nuts but the more I watch Bol I' just think he is over rated we shall see, But I don't see him as the 3rd best player in the Nation. - -Sure he dominated in High School but let's see how he does against other quality well put together Big's - and experienced other Big's at the College level.
UK fans thought for sure & actually I thought so to that Zion was for sure their's - -I thought Zion had/still has Kentucky written all over him BUT it's looking like Clemson - -ya Clemson just might end up landing him. - -Me Myself I think that's a mistake.- -I can't stand Kentucky , but if he really wants the exposure - - -a legit chance in the NCAA tourney - -you tell me who has the better chance Clemson OR Kentucky? - -at UK have a chance to be surrounded by better talent - -BUT I think staying in state being closer to family playing a huge part in his decision -So those are the two that I know for sure off and my thoughts as to why they missing out on the big this year. - Probably totally off base but hey you know lol. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I certainly understand why we would get nervous, we've certainly been down the rabbit hole a few times with recruits we thought were shoe-ins.
Surprisingly I have been very confident with Q for a while. The staffs lack of movement on other recruits tells a big picture here. If that ends up being a key indicator with this one its always something to consider in future recruitment's.

@BeddieKU23 Your right about Billy. He needs to get his head out of his ass. - Time to put the big boy britches on, he has to realize not only hurting himself - BUT hurting his team mates as well. - We just got to make it trough the middle of December - sounds like help might be on the way, with De-Sousa hopefully sounds like it though.
Plus even though not counting on a lot but when Sam becomes eligible at least another body/ depth - who knows might be able to give a little something . - -I just hope this Vehicle thing with Billy isn't more serious - not getting a good feeling on this though.

@BeddieKU probably haven't or not very much. - But that wouldn't be what that meant at all. - when you have only 7 players and you need to protect an already thin front line - -means your trying to protect a very important piece of that seven - -not that you stink, it would of been a very logical decision, not a knock against the defense - you improvise - -like they say adapt and overcome. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
