@BeddieKU23 If I'm not mistaking isn't the Perry kid the kid that de-committed from Arkansas? - -Stating he wanted to closer to home to his sick father?
If this is the kid I was thinking of then I'm not surprised it didn't take him long at all. - -They listed the schools that was in on him Before he committed to Arkansas I think it was Georgia, Mississippi St & another. - -I hadn't really given him much of any kind of thought of all about considering us. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 Your right. - -This is just a kid filling out his officals, taking advantage of paid visits across the Nation - -why not. - - -Everyone pretty well knows he is already gift wrapped for UK - -Quickley himself hasn't really hid it very well, another reason to set his 3rd and probably last official at Kentucky which is on the 15-17th of Sept, isn't that right around their Big Blue Madness event?
Hell not that we have a Snowball's chance in hell of landing either of them BUT between the two we would probably stand a better chance of landing Jahvon Quinerly then we would Quickley, and it looks like a lock now that Quinerly is headed to Arizona - - -what the hell is in the water at Arizona - -Miller is NOT that big of a Coach but yet must recruit really well.

@Kcmatt7 I'm thinkin you know lol - - I don't. What is it? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
just a few tidbits. - -read off SB Nation article written by Jeremy Chisenhall , kind of amusing stating that Kentucky might be losing ground on two of their top recruiting targets for 2018: - - Bol Bol , and Romeo Langford.
Talking about a lot of the experts picking different schools more and more Kentucky being mentioned less. Talk is that after Bol , Bol was cut from the U-19 class and Langfords limited playing time. Of Course Romeo was due to the fact of his back strain.
Mentioned how now Arizona, UCLA , & USC are schools mentioned more for Bol. makes sense since he moved to West Coast. Jerry Meyer the National Analyst changing his pick from UK to USC - -again this is coming from Kentucky SB Nation.
As far as Romeo Evan Daniels is saying UK is fading fast in his recruitment - -saying that Indiana - - - Louisville - - And KU are the big three in the mix for him and to keep an eye on them for him. Yes all of the Big Blue Nation fans is all up in arms with this: Screw them if they aren't with us then they are their enemy - - -If we don't get these two we may just have the best recruiting class again instead of the best in the past decade etc, etc, etc. gives me some laughs
So I thought and still think Romeo is Louisville, thought so for awhile, what you think? Also Carey says that Syracuse and U Conn are the two that have been working the hardest for him said Self was at yesterdays game BUT he said mainly U Conn and for sure Syracuse. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well just to follow up with this thread I started, just read on Williams, HA he says he received a call from Coach K about a month ago and I quote. - - " Williams says getting a call from Coach K off his cell was like talking to GOD " - - -Being able to talk to the " Best Coach In the World " - - -to that I say HUH - - is this another waste of time? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 Agree with you on this time for sure. - I really feel that if not all at least most of the KU fans would more then willingly agree, we know Bagley not coming here, so why waste the time that could be spent on more legit possibilities?
We were NEVER really a serious contender for him - I personally feel he added us at the last minute as more of a courtesy then reality, this is just another case of wasting time like you say while main while back at the ranch other top notch quality players are slipping through the hour glass
Coach stated this could be the most important recruiting class we have had, saying we need Big's - - - - we need small - - -we need tall wings - - - he says recruiting everything
Saying we could lose possible 6 from this year. We know Graham - - -SVI - - & Whitman gone - -then the possibility of Doke, - - Newman - - -Preston - - -Vick. - -need a very solid recruiting class. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Hey hope all is having a Great Thursday, just throwing a couple of -Jumpin - - Gee - - Hossa - -Fat - -thoughts out today.
One is it just me and am I imaging things OR Is Doke going to have the type of year I am beginning to feel? - - The more I see him this off season & the more I hear from team mates and such is making my mouth water. I am beginning to feel this kid may just rally have a big break out year. - All I keep hearing and yes we already knew is this is one BIG HOMBRE. - - I just keep hearing about how well he is doing and how he can cover up mistakes where the defense can gamble some he can help protect - -I'm just starting to envison and makes me drool.
2nd. - -Sounding like we making up ground and right there for Emmit Williams, seen some video from the EBYl looks sweet - - -some help please - - -other thoughts on him - -see is ranked 13th according to 247 think he would be good for us? let me know - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@mayjay Nope lol, if I was involved he would be hitting 130 and zero home runs lol - -the guy is a monster lol - - - if they have him and then get Greg Byrd back which actually had a monster spring camp then got hurt, put him and Judge, Holiday, Sanchez and Castro and the other young hitters may do ok. Still think they are a year away. - can't take any credit lol wis I could, ready for KU football - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@approxinfinity Oh we have went through our dark ages for about the last 4-5 yrs, but made some unbelievable trades and was loaded in the fam system. - -If you remember the Yankees became a really old ball club for this stretch had to trade and develop the farm talent - -still think they are a year maybe two away. - People how has the inside say they thought it would be another year - -maybe came early - -but I think not, but still with him and Sanchez and then the Vet Matt Holiday and Sterling Castro and some of the other young hitters. - -At least they kept me entertained through the 1st half of a very long season -- Still think next year - - - -READY for KU football lol - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Verbal Commits for 2018 are falling quickly this year. - - 38-of top 100 already has made commitments .
Norte Dame has 3 commits already, # 56 , # 81 , # 98 - - - - Arizona has 2 commits , # 24, # 28- - - -Louisville has 2 commits , # 23 , # 33 North Carolina has 2 commits, # 37 , # 66- - - - South Carolina has 2 commits, # 34 , # 53- - - - Stanford has 2 commits , # 41 , # 64- - - -Maryland ,has two commits , # 29, # 67- - - - California with 2 commits , # 82 , # 94 & Michigan State has two commits , # 75 , # 100 players. - - & `19 other schools with a commit. - - Falling quickly this year. Sure would like to see some early verbals this year, seems to be trending to late of season lately. Now I'm not saying get a kid to verbal early just to have a body - -simply saying it would be nice to get someone to make that early commit, so we wouldn't have to be sitting around wondering about are targets in the late signing.
2019 looks like it could be a very good year quite possibly I know no one gives us any kind what so ever - - -BUT I do - -I actually DO think we have a shot at RJ Barrett, - the # 1 player, I think we have a very legit shot - -ya ya I know everyone wants to talk Duke, it's ok talk Duke, we shall wait and see but to the people giving us NO shot - -ummmm I feel you are way off. - - -# 3 Hurt we lead pretty substantial, I know some think we have lost some ground with him - - -which we have but I feel we are still ok, # 15 feels a lock for us, would be stunned to see him anywhere else, # 23 Lawson - - -again would be stunned if he landed anywhere else all things considered, and then # 40 Harvey - - lets make it a sweep of three in a row for a cinch to play here
I know there are several Kentucky people that feel RJ Barrett will land at KU, and other sites I have read that say they think he is going to end up at KU - -we shall see, but for those again who say no shot - - - sorry, and we can get Wiggins to put in a plug for us, their pretty good friends - -you just might be surprised - - we shall see, ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well I know he is not a 2018 but I did know we had been recruiting him and now offered.
2019 Balsa Koprivica - -7'1. - - KU, Oreg, Texas, Arizona St are the latest to offer - - joining Georgia Tech, Virginia Tech & LSU
Koprivica says the schools that are talking to him the most are: UCLA, KU, Baylor, Miami, Florida, USC, Louisville, Florida St, Wake Forest, & Arizona
He is transferring to Windermere Fl prep and will not be on the AAU circuit this summer.
Has the foot work of a polished wing - -a once in a generation type of player deadly shooter from 18-20 feet Augustine compares him to two of the greatest Europe player ever to play in the NBA - - - Paul G asol & Dirk Nowitzki
Ok so here is a question to end with all these show things that goes on - - -Augustine who runs the Adidas sponsored program - -Doesn't KU wear Adidas? - - - I know we lose out it seems to some because of the shoe - -just saying, - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@approxinfinity From what I heard, there was an article sometime back that he was focusing on the weights and such - -had added some weight not an extreme I think maybe like 10 lbs. I think not don't hold me to this but I believe he said he wanted to be at like 227 lbs which would be and addition of like 15 lbs - - -again don't hold me to that but seems like that was the case.
I'll just say this - -the kid is a competitor, aggressive and I will say it again yes he gets beat on the D sometimes - - a lot of times, BUT some of that was just plain because he couldn't hold ground, some was flat being out of position, but that will change in time. I think the kid can really help us - I know he will ALWAYS give it his all, he is always open to improvement - -he wants to get.be better for THE TEAM - -kid loves KU. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Oh what I'd give to be able to have a talent of his to stick with KU say for even two years. - - Can you imagine if we had him back next year.

My thread is about Mitch, I'm sorry I have posted/ made comments before, but guys I really think when it's all said and done, this kid will surprise. - Was reading a story today about him and Udoka taking a leadership role this season for Whitman and Preston early. They gave a perfect example, talking about how Jack missed an in-contested jump hook in an early drill - - -lunged at the ball kind of slammed it disgusted with himself and headed back to the end of the line. - - -Mitch didn't accept that took over and told Whitman to FINISH THE DRILL/PLAY. - - Whitman finished with a layup was stated but he still FINISHED.
The thing is my friends THAT'S what I'm talkin about, this kid seems to have a aggressive approach, everything about him, the kid just flat out goes out to help/do whatever needed. - -This was a minor thing but yet Mitch took over, took that leadership responsibility, they talk about Whitman and Preston looking at Mitch and Azubuike for leadership early on,
Everything I have seen and read about Mitch maybe I'm just total delusional but man this kid, the time he DID have on the floor last year, he was giving 110% hustled out his butt, had some key plays, blocked some shots, like another poster stated on different site said for him being 6'8 which actually is kind of short for a PF Mitch had his fair share of blocked shots. - -Diving on the floor, rebounding, again as we all know he was a liability on defense some due to his lack of bulk BUT I feel this kid has the desire - - -the aggressiveness, - - -and leadership - -and heart to really help, he doesn't lack in confidence I feel given some time this kid is going to be a good 4 year player for us - -these are the kids we need to help fill the roster, I'm not saying we need 13 of these types but I'm tellin ya - you don't ever have to question about the kids heart and love about being a KU Jayhawk.
One finishing side bar, Coach Self made mention that Billy Preston is probably as good as anybody we have had at the 4 spot physically since Coach has been here, that says something right there. - - -Stay safe my friends - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ijust continue to like the guy more and more EVERY day. No matter Frank just continues to be the humble, modest and what seems to be a quiet mannered type of guy, BUT still just continues to get it done, I have to respect a guy like that, - -no ego problem and I don't believe there ever will be.
The latest example I'm talking about is Friday, at the Riley House/ Kansas Sampler. Frank was having an autograph session signing for the KU fans, and when 3:00 rolls around the people in charge break it off telling some that they would not be able to continue, Frank had other things, such as geting his license renewed before 5 - - Franks swings around and say he HAS time TO DO all, keeping everyone happy. - -No major thing BUT yet, still a humble, modest thing just like Frank - - - -Frank being Frank. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@wrwlumpy Sure enough, he checked in, and oh boy so glad he did lol. - - Chicken to play? - - Please. - -As another poster stated, we have NOTHING to gain from playing these chumps. Don't really feel Coach Self is ummm CHICKEN of anybody. - - As stated the NCAA could of matched us up - - -didn't, the Big 12/ Sec could of matched us up - - - didn't - -so guess that means their Chickens to do so also? - - my guess is more likely then not they don't want to have fans be bothered to watch the ass kicking we would of given them on either occasion.
As was stated pretty comical how KU & what was Coach Self called? - -OH ya now I remember - - Chicken squawker - - -how we are chicken to play muck fizzou -seems pretty strange didn't here kitten squat out of that pathetic school until they believe they might be competitive - -then they want to try and stand up and meow, and then have the nutts to try and say were ARAID of them roflmao - -give me a break.
The only thing Mizzery would or ever will mount around KU will be our trophy case as we would beat their ass ONCE again. Why would we want to continue to play someone where there is NO CHALLENGE. - you play to improve, you play where there is a challenge - -the only challenge if we were to play them is the challenge of just how bad we would beat that kitty ass.
Some people really stretch to try and find a reason as to why we should play- -ya ok, get back o me when you have a LEGIT reason. In the main time I keep with Coach Self and the Kentuckys - - Duke, Michigan States, and other true blue blood programs. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Read where they ranked KU Women's basketball recruiting 23rd in the Nation for this year 4th in the Big 12 recruiting. Not bad for them They are going to have a lot of new players - some of the new one's :
Christala Lyons a 5'5 pg coming from traditional National powerhouse JC Trinity Valley Texas probably the biggest recruit this year for them rated as the 11th best player in Juco ranks
Brianna Osorio a 5'8 combo coming from the College of Southern Idaho ranked # 47.
Austin Richardson a 6 ft forward from Johnson Co CC ranked # 49, named MVP of the Jayhawk Conference
Sarah Boric a 6'5 Center from Koto Varas Bosnia - -spent one season at NC State then North East Okla A&M ranked # 53
Then the High School kids Bailey Helgren a 6'5 Center, Michaela Wilson a 6'2 from Rayville La, and then Brittany Franklin a 6'5 Center from Plymouth NC
This is Coach 3rd season just really getting his own players, I think they will be better for sure. - -rated as the 4th best class in the Big 12 Behind Texas 3rd - - - -Baylor 7th- -& WV at # 20 hoping for good things to come. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Guys I'm sorry but for me - -I HAVE to laugh at this - -some may not agree, it's ok, I myself find it very humerous. - -and yet PATHETIC.
According to the former Mizzery Chancellor R Bowen, there is ONE reason why the border war series doesn't resume that one reason? - -Sweet question, the ANSWER he says - - - BILL SELF.
I have to laugh - - -sorry, he says it's Self - - IF it is all I got to say is - - -- HELL YA, I knew there was a reason why I liked him so much, These sissies tucked their tail and ran like a bitch and left conference, we have nothing to gain from playing these idiots in anything, not even a good ol fashion game of tittly -winks.

I kind of have the same feeling as Kcmatt7 on this. - - -Not very sure about this 1/2 brothers whole allegations.
Bamba has been cleared by EVERY compliance dept from each of the schools he visited, then ultimately has been cleared by the NCAA Eligibility center, Bamba and Love both had been cleared it was reviewed cleared and certified by the NCAA.
This has been an ongoing feud between Bamba and this 1/2 brother for some time, after Abe Johnson Bamba's 1/2 brother was removed from his recruiting process. Because of the long standing relationship between Bamba & family's with Love they wanted Love to help in the recruiting process. - -Even with that said It was said that Loves organization is not a booster of any University.
It just sounds, seems looks like just maybe it's a case of a PO'D brother looking for some attention.
Kind of hard to believe when it is coming from someone who faces FIVE separate felony and misdemeanor charges in FIVE different States. - Fl, NY, South Carol, Ohio, & Illinois.
Hit & run in Fla, - - -Forgery, falsication, petty theft & Possession of drugs in Ohio, Possession of drugs in South Carolina & theft in Illinois.
Been rumored for a long time that Johnson was wanting to try and exploit Bamba in his recruitment for College and Professional Community. - - Just kind of hard to fully believe his story. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
