@HighEliteMajor Lmao again very interesting , I find you a very interesting person/ Well you sure sold me I'll tell ya for sure about things when you showed you maturity level calling an individual " Jaba the Umpire" now tell me was that a word/phrase that took you some time to come up with or did that just roll right off your tongue?

I've got to say you set a fine - -FINE I say example for them right? lol So tell me how old are you again?- -Please take note I'm talking about physical age - -not maturity level as you have showed us you obviously have a lot of room to grow there.

An much to your dismay I'm not offended by your choice of word " FAT " what so ever -sure the hell doesn't pertain to me - - -just pleasantly amused you felt the need o bring that up thanks.

We can all see why you weren't an official very long - -pretty light scheduling huh - -suck ass to much huh? - -it's ok we all have our fields - obviously yours wasn't this.

As far as dealing with a drunk fan, got to say how quick you are to pick up on the fact we were getting paid thanks for reminding me lmao. I had forget we got paid for doing those games, and your right we did deal with the issue - -ummm only it was the School's administration that made the decision to ban this guy for the year - -not us - a this was a regular showing of this guys as and making an embarrassment for his son - Class - -total class. - they dealt with it. A far as getting paid no matter how well the performance - -I bet you still got paid no matter how good a job or piss poor job you do at your job from the people you work for right? Well I'm done this really isn't worth anymore - -once again it's a forum so your more then entitled to your thoughts and opinions and hope you have a great day. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well , not seeing any kind of CB movement or predictions at all after the weekends of visits to Kentucky & Maryland. Sure would think if things went really well like some on their boards are talking we would be seeing something towards them - -something - -anything. - I see nothing to make me think things have shifted in their favor - not even their own people have shown anything. - -things that make you go - -hmmmmmmm. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I think with both camps they are not letting out information regarding their choices. Both families are being air-tight about their plans (unlike Big Dave where his intel got out) . I think when both pick concrete dates then we can really monitor it. I do agree it is positive that neither has seen anything change since the visits. Hopefully it continues.

Ya , I just have to feel surely if it went as well as some of their posters are trying to come across, one would think you would see SOME KIND of movement I mean it's been almost a full week since the visits and yet see very little on the recruitment. - -I'm hearing quite a bit that Devon will announce probably next week. - -I'm still riding my boy till the end. - -The fat lady hasn't even warmed up yet lmao think she is going to sit this one out lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HighEliteMajor Hmmmm, very interesting , very interesting indeed . - - As a former Basketball Official I am so glad that you did say that there are good officials also. - -I officiated Basketball for 18 yrs as a way for me to stay close to the game I love , after I could no longer actually play the game itself for various reasons,

I find myself having to be careful as to how to respond to some of the things you mentioned in your response. - As for me , I officiated all levels - - - Anywhere from biddy ball - - boys , girls - -to Jr High Basketball games - - Boys , Girls JV - -Varsity - - -Freshman Basketball, - - High School ball Boys Girls - -Junior Varsity - - -Varsity - age Size school range here in Kansas from 1A - -to 6A . As I said I did this to stay close to the game - be able to connect with the players, the Coaches and such - plus the physical advantages it gave me - as staying in shape. - You know an Official runs they say an average of FIVE miles per game.

Hmmmm , so you think officials like to play the authority huh? Yes I suppose well know there are bad one's in officiating just as there are bad in just about anything there is in life. -- Just like there are Bad Coaches - -with Bad attitudes , that enter a game with a chip on their shoulder towards officials before the first ball is even tossed up, which in turn reflects on his players - -you have a Coach with an attitude towards officials - then you have players that have the approach of - -I do nothing wrong. - -You have bad fans - who think they know every rule and how it pertains to the game of Basketball -- just the same way those same Parents are the Nations best Coaches - -from the stands have never lost a game.

I've officiated in small two horse towns to the larger inner city - -urban to suburban -- here in Kansas I've officiated in Kansas City - - Lawrence - - Topeka - -Wichita - -and a lot and I mean a lot of out lying towns in the State Must not of done to bad -had no problem with ever getting games scheduled - and return dates to same schools multiple times -if I were a bad official that worried about the authority concept I know what of been ask for a return contest. My book was full - -I officiated a game of some kind practically every day of the week. Tournaments - -mid season -- Regionals - -Sub state - -State. as you say you were an official too - then you know you got graded - you could get banned -Myself a long time member of the KSHAA.

You are right in SOME things you mention. - - The game is definitely not about the official, I'm sure you've heard or should of heard if a game is officiated well, the Coach - -the players - the fans will hardly even know the official is even there. - An official should never determine the outcome of a game - the players should. - - In our pregame I would ALWAYS tell the Captains before the game in our pregame meetings - - look guys we all know the rules of the game , or we should - -don't reach - -move your feet , go straight up - -you reach were gonna call it - worked like a charm - these players knew you reach your getting called for it - . - -Like was told to us it was a lot easier to call it earlier in a game then to let it go and then in the last two minutes or whatever try to tighten things up - -you let shit go early then you have problems later. Worked really well they knew what to expect.

I never threw as you say the authority around - but was good to know that YES it was there, and YES we do have the authority to clear a gym and only have the Coaches and players, - Yes we did have a fan removed for being unruly - -as a matter of fact come to find out - the School banned him for the year - turns out it just wasn't our crew that had trouble with him - it was every crew - showed up drunk and get verbal with the officials. - The administration told us of this after our game.

You have bad in anything there is, whether it's sports and officials t people in business, or just bad people in general. - -What amazes me as I found out myself when I officiated and I've told people this , I don't care as a fan how close you are to the floor at a game - you can be sitting on the front row - think you have the best view of the game - -you have NO IDEA even there how much you miss that's going on out on the floor with the players unless - - -your actually out on the floor with the players - so many people - so mis informed on the rules - -they have no idea. - -Very interesting out look of the way you look at things towards officials Very interesting indeed.

I always liked to tell people when they bitched I simple would tell them that the KSHAA was always looking for officials they would be glad for the guys to come down - take the test and then jump in. - - hmmm -very fat official huh? -- not me but just saying as I'm 6'1 and 205 but that's interesting - -if I'm not mistaking isn't there fat people everywhere and in everything that some like to throw their authority around? - Interesting that you felt the need to throw that up about an official being fat throwing his authority around.

More then happy to continue to exchange thoughts on this if you like - - I've got all day. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don't think you will see them drop that much - -have had some really good recruiting - and some really good returning players. -I mean it would only be natural to slip a little with losing who we are losing we have 8 seniors but still I feel pretty damn good with what we got coming back. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Sounds like you're backing off your boy a little, @jayballer54. Can't say I blame you. I'm getting tired of the back and forth as well.

His family's been pretty transparent about the recruiting process...more so than any other recruit in my recent memory. Unfortunately, the transparency isn't winning them any points.

1. Dotson (or his parents or both) want a situation without another serious point guard/2 guard to compete with, in other words, nonnegotiable, guaranteed minutes. Not the make-up of a championship caliber team.

2. Lately we're hearing he's reluctant to go to KU bc he doesn't have any friends on the current roster.

Are you kidding? So now schools are expected to provide not just minutes but built-in relational security blankets. This whole recruitment is starting to spell INSECURITY.

Agreed. -- ya I guess I might be backing up at least a little if this is truly the case. I mean I believe your saying pretty much the same as I am.

Again if this is what these parents want - -no competition and the position just to be handed to their kid whether he is actually THAT good for that to happen? - -your right, is this what we want? - not the kind of make up I want for our team. If your good - -and you know your good , then you shouldn't have to worry about getting you quote unquote minutes cause no one going to be able to keep you off the floor. - -Sorry but I am going to have to use a phrase that normally I am not crazy about because it comes from that piece of crap down the road BUT in this case I'll borrow it - - " SHOW ME " - prove to me your that good to just have this handed to you.

I think Devon is a very good talent , but why not step up to the challenge if your as good as your parents and others say - ya think LeBron ever backed away from a challenge while playing? - -the old phrase - -you talk the talk - -so walk the walk.

As far as having friends? -- Great if it turns out you have friends at the school you choose? -then so be it. -- But how many of us when we graduated from High School we had friends - -very close friends , and we said we would always be friends and stay close forever? - -Just because a friend chose a different route in their life did that stop us from choosing the best route for us with the understanding well my friend isn't doing this so I'm not going to do it either without my friend? - -Devon is now at a point in his life - he is now becoming an adult - time to cut some cords, just as we have chose a certain path whether our friends do or not - -we chose what we thought was the best route for us. - -Devon needs to choose the best school, the one he feels gives him the best chance for the next level, whether his friends are there or not. -

Who knows maybe it turns out best if he DOES choose another school.- -If he is afraid of competition and as you say he has insecurity issues - -so be it - -let him commit to another , we land Grimes and hell maybe get back into the recruiting of the James kid we was recruiting for awhile as he de-commited from .OSU - we were in on him not as highly ranked but still a good player. - -Let Grimes run the point and James get some time at the 2. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well as far as Grimes part of the whole thing from Grimes stand point it's really not what I think - it's what has been said by Grimes himself. - Sooo if that is the case for real with Dotson then - - maybe we don't need him here, we will take Grimes and call it good.

I have no use for people that aren't willing to work for their spot. - So if Dotson or family is trying to dictate playing time which it sounds like they are with the examples you give - if that's the case - are they afraid of competition? If indeed your son is as good as you say he is and yet he is not up to the challenge? Then step plain and simple, If I were the Coach I want competitors, I'm not handing anything to anybody - -you work for your spot - your earn your spot , that's the way it was when I played , that's the way I'm sure it is now.

So if they just want a starting spot handed to him - -then see ya. Would love for hi here but only if he is willing to earn it, that falls more under of a case like it's all about me , me, me - -instead of we we we. - -" Team " - -We will see. - -So again NOT really about if that's what I wanna think , others players willing to change for the team - -he can to - -lots of playing time for both. -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

There is a reason Dotson is mulling it over so hard. Grimes is almost a lock. If he wasn't, Dotson would be a Jayhawk already IMO.

That shouldn't matter at all. - -If Dotson is concerned about Grimes taking his playing time at point, that's just crazy. - Grimes has said repeatedly he has no problems with playing at the 2 and letting someone else run the point. - -Would be no problem with both on the floor and getting their minutes at the same time - I don't buy that at all. - -Grimes committing to KU should have no effect with Dotson. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well looks like Quentin's visit to Kentucky went pretty good. - -Said Cal's message was about putting him in the league , being able to play and practice against other 5 star players, Cal said if he landed 3 guards how he could play the 3 guards, talking to Quentin about them feeling that he was one of the better guards in this class and if he came in and put in the work they feel he could be a one and done.

Was feeling pretty cozy about Quentin but after this read ummm maybe not so much , I mean still feel we are in pretty decent shape only maybe not quite as decent a we were. - - His AAU coach said that Quentin parents not in any big hurry But he couldn't really see Quentin pushing this into 2018 - probably a fall time decision.

Says Quentin still has 2 visits left Marquette & KU he has had all his in home visits. Says Quentin knows pretty much each one's sell to him on how he would fit in , now just wants to see the Campus - -see the facilities, check out the training/weight room conditioning facilities and such The dorms . - -Here is where when Quentin meets I'm sure Coach Hudy - she needs to make that strong pitch - Hudy does a remarkable job with the players - -they are talk very positive about her. -I think our weight/conditioning facilities take a back seat to no one. - -I think our Campus is one of the more beautiful one's around - - Bring him in and close the deal - -Give him a Strong show.

Might turn out being a good thing for us that he DID switch his visit - -this way we can give him more one on one attention in place of late night -give him that more concentrated attention. - - -Something STILL tells me he will end here - -IF we sell him on his visit. - MAKE THAT STRONG IMPRESSION - -rock chalk all day long baby

Maryland's board trying to say maybe, sort of, but could, possibly, think about, committing to someone this week.

Matt saying

"Seeing how his dad is out of town for the rest of the week - it's highly doubtful it will be this week. Next week at the earliest."

Which idiot do we believe?

Well pull this from an article of rivals from a poster off the Phog

Dana Dotson saying probably within a week or so as far as Devon Announcing , he told rivals this now that the Maryland visit is over. He said about his visit to Maryland what Dana DID ask was for a projected depth chart. He said we wanted to see who do you REALLY expect to be back for next year.
Dana said Anthony Cowan started as a freshman & will definitely will start as a Sophomore . So how they asked so how do you play two guys because Anthony is 5'11 - 6' and is even smaller then Devon they said so how do you play those two guys? - -He said and then their 2017 class has a bunch of wings that are pretty good and they are looking to bring in wings in 2018.

So if your playing a two PG your playing a wing at the 3 or possibly 4 if you go 4 out and 1 in. - -Dana said we had a lot of questions.
KU figures to l be in need of guards following the graduation of Devonte Graham - - -And Svi Mykhailiuk and the likely loss of Malik Newman and possibly LaGerald Vick. - - So sounds like probably anywhere up to a week we should know. - keeping fingers crossed for my boy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hmmmm , so scuttle butt saying that Zion verbally committed to Self Saturday - -hmmmm probably not true - BUT - -some rumor of Zion saying he was going to announce Friday. - Some talk about Dotson wanting to announce by the end of the week. -- Hmmm Williamson - -Dotson - - -Dotson - - -Williamson - - -Friday/End of the week. - -Hmm connection? - Yeah, no, maybe? - -Had been some talk about the two making reference of possibly liking to play with the other.

You have been working overtime on recruiting. Don't give up on Dotson...after all, you were right about McCormack, right? I am hoping you are right about Dotson as well. :smiley:

Thanks.

Anyways found this amusing of the Kentucky board, Thread was if anyone had heard how the Grimes visit had went this weekend?

Response poster said he had read somewhere that Grimes had talked a lot about Kansas and how great their crowd was. - - Said he couldn't remember where read and don't know if it was true or not. ( lol )

That set off this response: - -Why would you even respond if you are going to put something ignorant like that for an answer. - -( hey that fired up the Kentucky people right? - - I mean of course all fully expecting Grimes to Say Oh my visit to Kentucky was un-believable - Coach Cal is a super Coach - -the fans were awesome - -loved my visit - simply the best. - -Then when this poster posts this - - lmao - -OH HELL NO THIS CAN'T BE . - -Of course probably a troll but damn still funny.

Then another responded : Unfortunately I read the same thing on our pay board - - - -ooops - - uh oh - -this can't be - -this can't be - -can it ? - - lmao. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

And now the real waiting begins. - - -Dotson - - -Grimes - -Pretty sure Devon is now done with Visits. - - I believe these are the next two that will commit & I feel Devon is not that far away.

I think we will see Devon and Quentin commit early. - -I also think Romeo and Zion will be spring - -these seem to be the 4 that we now are in on heavily- - -Time I drawing closer.

Some others have their gut feeling , just like I have mine - -nothing more - -nothing less and my gut is telling me just like day one , in the end Devon will commit to KU - -m gut is also saying when it is all said and done Quentin will ALSO commit to KU may take longer but in the end run - - umm ya.

Romeo 50/50 - -& Zion I just feel in the end we lose out - -just me. - - IF somehow we do end up with Quinten , Devon & Romeo to go along with De-Sousa & McCormack - -that my friends would be a huge class - - - - keeping my fingers crossed and my gut in check. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

One time KU target Noah Locke will announce his decision tomm.

Important why? Because he's likely going to Florida.

While a lot of people like to put him in the "combo guard" role he's 6'2 and has limited options for position versatility. He might not be a natural PG but he's unlikely going to be a full-time SG in College I would think. Might throw a wrench into Dotson's plans...

From some random MD poster.

Talked to my buddy this morning and he said that the Dotson family seems to be torn between schools. They love Kansas, but are worried about PT due to a possible commitment from Grimes. Florida seems to be running third as of right now, but is apparently still in it due to their longstanding relationship. A commitment from Nembhard would eliminate Florida, however that seems to be weeks away with his OV scheduled for mid-October. Maryland gave them a lot to think about on this visit though and I think Maryland’s pitch to Dotson resonated with him and the family.

See this is what confuses me , some say Grimes plays the point , but he could very easily play the 2 as a SG and Devon run the team at PG - -If Devon was out then Grimes could always slide over and take the PG during that time. - -Grimes has stated that he wouldn't have any problems sliding to the 2 as long as he could play along side some other very good players - -Ummm Excuse me - here is where Devon would step in , Quinten slide to the 2 and Devon run point , they wouldn't even be competing for time - -they could both very easily be on the floor at the same time.

I think you'll will see Devon announce pretty soon , whether it be KU or Maryland - -one way or the other, I think Florida is out. - -With Them in on Nembard heavily and also Locke showing major interest there - -I just don't see it. I think Florida realized the ship had sailed with Devon thus this is why we are seeing the other activity with others for them now. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I Read off one of the wonderful UK threads the other day, that Ayton had gotten paid 500,000 well his parents and already spent. - -ROCK CHALK ALL ADY LONG BABY

@JayHawkFanToo The story I read on Zion was that Adidas was paying him $100k to go to KU, but KU was unaware of that part of the story. The story came from a non KU site (don't remember right now). It would explain KU kind of coming out of nowhere with Zion and fits the Adidas MO of funneling their top prep player to Adidas schools and signing them after college

This is a story I'm inclined to believe because the logic is sound and fits with what's known about the case so far. As great a player as Zion Williamson is, I would be pursue anymore because if this story. I would focus solely on Langford as the prized wing in the class because his name has been nowhere to be found even in the whispers of who might be involved.

Ya I would have to agree with you about Zion I would love him here But - -man with things the way they are - - I agree I think I would have to take a pass and concentrate on Langford a little harder yet. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 LOL, well they can come on and investigate lol, I sure am in no position to pay my boy any monies lol to go to the Big Crimson & Blue hell couldn't even afford to get him a car -- maybe a Bike lol - But hey if Big Brother wants to come invest me on my Boy then come on - -hell I'll even fix them some breakfast - little French Toast , Hash Browns , Sausage , Some Coffee , Juice it's all good come one - -come all lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark I know your are buddy, and I'm not trying to act like some ass, I understand what your saying - -and maybe he could end up there , but like you I too am just going off what a lot of Kentucky people are saying also. - A lot of them feel like with the very decent chance of Green & G- Alexander returning and then Quickley coming in they just don't see it as much as they would love to have him

I think more then anything what I was actually trying to bring out was that the way these aggorant shits come across was that OH well since Cal has offered him and recruiting him then it's a done deal we got him and KU sucks and ya da - ya da - ya da, and they hinging so much on since slater or Daniels hasn't made a pick yet that automatically thatwhen they do it's going in Kentucky's favor lmao - -why of course it is lol, not trying to say you are wrong by any means.

I dunno I just have a feeling about Grimes like I did McCormack remember? - -When I ha a little discussion with another poster here about McCormack, he was asking what I was basing why I thought McCormack ended up here? - If I was going off anything other then His statements that he had made about KU - cause the CB was not showing KU in the lead at all?- -Where did he end up landing? - - KU. Again the other guy and I apologize to him as I can't remember who that was either but He actually was just as right about his thoughts as I was mine -- but I just got that same kind of feeling

Hmmm let me go out on the branch here and say - - Again for some reason I've just got this feeling my gut is saying Grimes commits to KU. - -Just like with my boy Devon you know by now for sure how I feel on him - - this wrinkled up old man just feels that in the end - -We end up Getting Grimes and my boy Devon to commit with maybe a slight possibility of Zion - -but ehhhh wouldn't hold my breath on that. Then again it might just be I overdosed on my meds and my Crimson and Blue Blinders and can't see or think straight lol - -we can always hope lol - -I feel good about Dotson and Grimes - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark We shall see. - - - I think we end up with a Dotson & Grimes combo - with a slight possibility Williamson - --OR a Dotson - - Grimes - -Langford - -watch. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Don't think there is any chance in hell Dotson ends up in Florida now. - With the two looking like committing there -- umm no. - I've been riding this from day one - -Devon is my boy , you still got time to climb on. - When this is all said and done Devon WILL be here in a KU uniform next year. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
