Speaking of Kyree Walker, Jerry Meyer just put in a CB pick for KU.

WHOAAAA - -really? - ok , Ok , Ok - I'm not going to start getting worked up - - -I'm not - - I'm not lol

Yes, be patient on this one. We probably won't know much until July at the earliest. He still has to get all his coursework done. The good news is Hillcrest has a reputation of.. ummmm.... making it happen

ya I know buddy. - -it's just I've liked Kyree for some time but just wasn't sure about him coming here. - -I've looked a little more since you posted - -read a few remarks - comments on him , a lot of which I already knew, Ryan you know who that is said he felt like it would be late but felt fairly confident that we just might land him . I mean again I knew it would be late because he said he really wasn't really even focusing on it right now.

I fully understand but I do appreciate the info. - So let me ask , do you know , have you heard anything on would Kyree be ok as far as academics so he would be able to qualify - is he ok on the academic side? - All I know the kid is a stud.

Someone else posted - -think off the Phog , that Kyree also has that little bit of edge/attitude. - I've said this before - -I like that. - I like someone who is good and KNOWS he is good. - If you got game and you know you got game - - BRING IT bad boy - -get somec as long as he doesn't go over the edge with it - -a little cockiness doesn't hurt anyone get a little tiresome to see some of the player that really don't show a lot of emotion - -somebody with that fire in their gut - -Kyree has that. - let's hope we can work it out. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No surprise on the first

Iowa St was looking for another scoring guard for this year. Looks like they found him

would we be interested in Mack at all?

No

Good enough , I had heard his name -but not aware of much else on him - - Thanks. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@jayballer73 I believe you like Kyree Walker about as much as I do. Sounding like KU will make a push to get him for next season, but it would be late, maybe even Brandon Rush late.

Ya I like him a lot. - when I watch clips of him , and I know they are high lite clips but looks like the kid can be a pretty physical player , like I've mentioned here I believe , seen where they call him like a positionless player. - - I think from the way it sounds and I know if he re-classifies I'm sure things will change drastically but as of the moment - for him it was like 3 teams he was listing -Arkansas - - Memphis - -& KU.

the kid can score for sure - -would be a nice fit at the 2 give us some outside scoring - got some serious hops as you know - -decent handles.

I think when you talking late you mean as far as him committing right ? - -If that is what you mean I understand as the latest article I saw on him was that he wasn't really even focusing on that right now - -with playing in the circuit - -I think I read that ends up in like the latter part of July. - I hope we can get him to re-classify - but like I posted earlier in one of the threads - even if we do I refuse to let my hopes rise until he literally commits as this year as really chapped my ass on this whole recruiting process. - keep our fingers crossed there is mutual interest buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This is probably old news - - saw where Tevin Mack is going to transfer out of Alabama.

Also saw also that Rasir Bolton transferred to Iowa State - - transfer from Penn State

BShark said:

Texas is going to hire Yaklich. This will hurt what chance Michigan had to retain Jalen Wilson.

Agree. - - With Yaklich going to Texas that means Wilson lost the TWO most important of the guys that were on his recruitment. - - Head Coach Berlein & now Yaklich -- BUT I'm not even going to even begin to allow myself to start thinking about a possibility until he commits - This season has just WAY to whacked. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Got more Tornado warnings firing up out to the west and then South West of Topeka

@BShark ya that was the place I was talking about - - this dam thing was huge

So Wilson is suppose to be at KU tomorrow right - it was the 29th-1st right?

Fightsongwriter said:

Do we know what time tomorrow decisions have to be turned in?

I think they have all the way till midnight -- I think

WOW Lawrence got really lucky. -- Huge Wedge Tornado - -just went through just like 3 miles south of Lawrence - a lot of Damage to - house in a sub division. - dam thing was on the ground for like 2 hours.

hit out by the Kansas Speedway - then down through Wyndotte And Levanworth Counties, don't freak out on this spelling think you can probably figure it out lol. -Said this Tornado could of been like 11/4 miles wide. - - - -Got a lot more storms firing up yet to come tonight - -crazy night

I guess I'm not a very nice person! I heard this was signed 3 months ago. Leading people on, teasing fans, is not my idea of a good human being. I hope they at least told coach.

I'm not sure that they wee. - -I was reading someone like a week ago that the KU staff was feeling pretty good with their position for RJ

@dylans No RJ conversation here lmao. - - Just giving you hard times buddy - That guy is History - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@FarmerJayhawk I have seen that (Walker RJ either/or not both) bandied about in a couple articles before, one on Rivals I think. If Arkansas isn't in the picture, it would have to be KU I'd think. Saw nothing but Arkansas or KU and he is Adidas all the way I believe.

@Woodrow Not sure, he will be 19 before the next season even starts though.

He DID have Memphis as one of the three schools -BUT that can't be an option anymore. - Yet IF and when he does IF he does I'm sure there will be a lot of Schools be jumping on it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Big Jalen Wilson update from a guy that talked to his coach here on page 10: https://247sports.com/college/kansas/Board/103719/Contents/Jalen-Wilson-132015495/?Page=10#M132271168 ↗

So seeing what I had been mentioning - - MICHIGAN , right there - because of Jwuan. - -anybody but him , - like I said His parents loved the fab 5 and named Jalen after Jalen Rose. - Hell they had even talked about trying to hire Jalen as an assistant to help things- - at this point I'm not even beginning to try and think were in good shape with ANYONE

So , OK now that we are past the Drama fest , what's next ? -Do we have ANY possibilities? - if we do are they worth the Scholi - - or we just feeling bodies?

The only two that I now can think of is - - ONE : - - Kyree Walker , The question then becomes - would he even re-classify? - Haven't really heard much on the possibility , I know there had been some talk - -but NOTHING lately - - -pretty quiet on that part, Then the follow up with that would be - -IF he were to re-classify - what actually is our realistic chances of him landing here? - We have been smoked before - -including today.

The 2nd possibility possibly would be this kid that has been mentioned a little here. Not sure how hard KU has been looking at this guy - - - This Nah"shan Hyland - -PG - - again how seriously or involved are we actually with him at this point ? - -Then again how realistic would or chances be and is he Worth the Scholi - -or just a body?

If anyone knows of others - or if your feeling we have now finished for the year holler let me hear anything you got. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I guess probably the ONE question I would really have on this would be. - IF indeed RJ truly was never really interested in going to College to play - - then WHY would you come and visit Ku 3-4 times during the recruiting process when you only get ONE paid visit? - when you have to pay for the others on your own - -and your NOT interested? - Doesn't add up

So we lose out on yet another prime recruit for this year. So there will be a lot of snide remarks made including myself - venting frustration and be P - - - - - off which is fine - we should be able to do that , yet decision has been made - -no reason to continue to start degrading and all kinds of negative things towards the kid. - -It suck - -ya it sucks big it's a bunch of crap

Yet one thing I've noticed , not only here but everywhere - -when fans think they are getting a kid I've done this just as much as anyone else - -and it all gets caught up in the heat of the moment - -when you think you have a kid - -think it's as sure as sure can be - the kid is a stud , - - unbelievable player - - killer , - - - -how we are going to smash it with this kid.

Then when he declares for another school after all of this - or in RJ'S case over sea's - all of a sudden - he becomes a piece of crap -- or he isn't as good - - or he is a drama queen and activities - or any other nasty mean thing we can say about the kid?- -Is'nt this the same kid that we were heaping all that praise o just yesterday or the day before.?

It's just interesting how these things go. - One minute - were getting the best player in years - and then going to a piece of garbage drama queen kid.

The whole situation sucks - - -Sucks - -B - - - - but nothing we can do. - -I think the best thing to do is like Betty said LOCK THIS DOWN and move on - don't even waste our time any further - it IS a money thing like has been said - -yet it is what it is - -becoming a money business thing - - all I say is - - Screw it. v- - not sure if we have a chance to try possibly and get Kyree Walker yet or not - - haven't heard much.

BShark said:

RJ sure made it sound like he never wanted to play college ball. If that really is the case, good riddance.

ya I caught that little remark too - -think that was daddy talking possibly? - -saying he neve wanted his boy to play college ball?

If we don't get Dotson back...and Q won't come back... are we looking at Marcus running point?

Well we will - either today - hopefully about Devon or tomorrow. - Side note - - boy ESPN really giving things away before RJ announces his decision just made statement about how going to be major discussion - - hmmmm wonder what they mean by that lmao - -what a fricken joke

He has his Twitter photo upside down, so I guess he means down under by that. I'd much rather have a 2nd year Dotson over him anyway. 8:30 AM Eastern is 8:30PM in Australia. Next...

P.S. What do you want to bet that Jalen either stays with Michigan, or goes to UNC now?

he will stay at Michigan

KU or UNC all the way is what I've heard and KU has a great shot regardless of RJ commiting to the NBL.

I wouldn't count on KU at all anymore at this point. - -If it was just RJ not coming would be one thing. But with the combination - Of RJ Dad pulling his crap - -and then Juwan being the hire at Michigan - -and looking like Yaklich staying at Michigan - -Wilson will reverse direction and stay put along with their other commit.

Another case of where the parents will win out -they love Michigan and named him after Jalen - -at this point with the way this fricken year has went - -like you said a couple of posts back - -you think our recruiting is done - -your right it is. - - -WITHOUT Jalen - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Lavar errr Rod Hampton said he was "praying Devon Dotson stays in (the draft)". I'm pretty off it.

RJ and Rod aren’t seeing eye to eye on this. RJ wants to play with Dotson at Kansas. Rod wants the opposite in about every way.

So the way I would see this , just like when I was that age many many many moons ago.

RJ even at the age of 18 is basically for all practical purposes is looked at as an Adult. - -at the age of 18 I was out of mommy and daddy's house - -I was independent - -I was starting the adventure of my own life.

Now RJ's future is pretty well written - he will be and NBA players making boo-koo money So here is what I just don't get. - Yes I was taught to respect my Parents - - -Yes I valued their opinions. - -BUT at the end of the day - - this is or should be RJ'S -decision - it's HIS career - -his future that we are talking about here. - - there fore RJ should be the one to say -- I'm going to KU to play - - OR I'm going over sea's - - NOT DADDY.- I if I were RJ I would be trying to in the nicest respectable way be trying to tell DAD look I value & Respect your opinion BUT this is MY future - -this is MY job

The Hamptons won't have to worry - RJ comes to KU he has a full ride the year he is here , and is there anyone that doesn't think he won't help take care of his family when he is done with his one year in College - -you can bet your life - -they need financial help RJ makin that green - -he will help - -the Hampton family gonna be well taken care of by their son.

With this being about RJ'S Furure - - it should be RJ'S and only RJ'S final decision and DADDY should take two steps back and just support RJ'S decision - -he is now an adult - let RJ lead his life how RJ wants to lead HIS life. - -

Like I've always told my kids - -it's your decision, -- right , wrong , whatever - -it's your decision. - and you'll learn - one way or the other you will learn - if they ask me what I think - I'll give my opinion - end the end - -it's their decision - he can't always have DADDY their to make decisions for him. - - -Those kind of kids - -for the most part , they learn the hard way - - It's a cold hearted world out there if you don't stand up - -it will chew you up and spit you out - DAAD needs to step back - let RJ do what RJ wants to do - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Jimmy Whitt to Arkansas. Time to fire up the Kyree Walker rumors again.

So since it seems like people conceding Hampton to over sea's now huh? - This recuiting year has just plain Sucked -can't count Silvio as a recruit already here -So Kyree would be great if he would re-classify - but not sure that would matter the way this year has gone - -IF Hampton does indeed go oversea's - -just insane -then you figure Hampton goes over sea"s and Wilson re-commits back to Michigan

Well guys on a pesonal note - - -been a GREAT DAY for me. - - New addition. - - My Daughter brough in a new Grandson to us - -Not sure weight or Height yet -- Born at 4:19 this afternoon

So, what - boring Memorial Day weekend, everything's underwater - do you guys think? Is Dotson coming back? Man, was thinking back on our (my) misses this year on recruiting (Tucker was a great miss), usually have a good feel. I'll say this, though, (mark it down fellas!) if Self reels in Hampton and Wilson on top of Enaruna, McBride and Braun I will never doubt him again. The trial and Silvio's suspension damn near tanked us.

I feel pretty confident that Devon is coming back buddy. - -No w do I have any of that inside source stuff? - -no I don't. - -just what my logic - -instinct is telling me - - my gut. - -Devon was quite clear in or his dad and him said - -they were really testing the NBA waters for informational purposes - to get feed back to see what he needed to work on - -what his short comings were so he could get them fixed. or improved

It's been pretty well thought of by most that he will be back - a lot of NBA personal saying he needs to come back - -I think he will run with that. - -Even though he had a solid combine , not really strong enough to improve his status as much as he needs - -you want to get that 1 st round - so you can get that guaranteed money -- most are thinking he right now is probably a middle to lower 2nd round 45 or lower - he comes back - puts in the work , has a really good year - -then all bets are off. - I think we are in really good shape for this year and his return. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know, we have seen , we have read , and we have heard - off many of different conversation , multiple anlysts predicting - -words amongst ourselves from various places - talking about how good it was/is looking -- How the CB is really favoring us -- Others that were in the race for RJ commenting/surrendering /conceding - RJ to the Crimson and Blue - -that's awesome - -Yet after the way this year has gone with so many peaks and valleys - -I just won't feel at ease/confident UNTIL I hear RJ utter those words. - -to many let downs this year - - I just can't feel at ease - - -I could much easier see Rj Tuesday getting on ESPN - -thanking everyone and then saying with that being said - I'm proud to announce that I will be playing at the University of Memphis - - I could just see that - - OH HELL NO

Driving today and some of the lower bridges almost had rivers and lakes over them.

I posted somewhere yesterday. Was listening to my weather radio , and they list 13 different rivers and like 5 major creeks that was flooded out of their bank here in Kansas and some of those rivers were flooded over in multiple area's here in Kansas it's not pretty

Thank you for this video my friend. - -Robinson was always one of my sentimental favorites. - You know just makes me wonder sometimes , WHY did T-rob not have more success then he did /has in the NBA - -pretty limited. in the NBA

He was one of these guy that I felt got under appreciated - - not by JayHawk Nation BUT on a National scale - I don't know just seems like he didn't get the props. -Always have a place in my heart. - Sure seemed pretty athletic, made a nice frontline with him and the Morris twins and Jeff right? - There are some guys that just seem to get lost in the schuffle - - T-Rob I think was one of those guys. - -not to me. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

find it kind of funny/humorous Was scouring other fan bases/boards - - looked at K-State - - -looked at Michigan - - - Looked at N Carolina - - - -Looked at Duke - -and then I checked out Kentucky. - - Out of these , - Kentucky was the one that you can smell the fear, - -worries of what this does for KU'S season.

their whining was music to my ears, goes to show their inferiority complex showing it's ugly head , the rest of the fan boards was for the most part talking like they felt Silvio decision was the right decision - -Hell Duke fans making comments such as -The Champions Classic just became tougher - - -KU gonna be loaded - - KU Being a legit final 4 contender - -NOT KENTUCKY lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FarmerJayhawk said:

@HighEliteMajor Wilson is much more ready to contribute immediately. Enaruna has a lot higher ceiling though, hence his higher ranking.

true - however Evan Daniels also said that he though Wilson was actually under rated and should be like 10-15 spots higher then they have him

Marco said:

jayballer73 said:

@BShark - HEY BUDDY you really think we can still get Wilson to come? - - -that would be incredible - -just afraid with Michigan's hire of Howard and Silvio coming back - -might just be enough to steer him away from us now - -what you think?

Wilson is a 3. I think it's looking damn good for Hampton to commit to KU Tuesday and Wilson maybe to follow suit either that Friday or the following Monday. I don't believe that he is going to make that Carolina trip.

I am really wondering if he does indeed make that trip or not - -I'm leaning a little more too that he won't end up making it.

I just feel now it is actually going to come down to Ku & re-committing to Michigan with their new hire - I just don't think N Carolina now will be a factor. - -Michigan more of a threat then N Carolina for him - -Because of Juwan - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

HighEliteMajor said:

Turning those words around, any chance Big Dave leaves?

I suppose you never say never - -but just don't see that happening

I will say this again. - - I really think some are making to much out of RJ and PG. - -Again he has stated that he DOESN'T have to have the ball in his hands at all times , just wanted to be surrounded by other good players. - - There are some that seem to just be freaking out about him wanting to play PG. Sure could be what he would LIKE to do - - but doesn't HAVE to do.

If Devon is on point , RJ be at the 2, I have stated before -- it's going to be just like having TWO point guards on the floor at the same time , nothing wrong with that for sure, not meaning he will be playing as a point while handling the 2 spot - - just that we will have 2 vey good players handling the ball at the same time , and with 2 having their passing ability - just double that's all.

I just don't think RJ having to be the starting PG that has to have the ball in his hands is as much of an issue as some are trying to make it out to be. - -I would be willing to bet that Coach has even told him that he would be at the 2 with quality minutes. I'm just not seeing this as a make or break for him - -also like I have said when Devon is out - -then RJ slides right over and handles the point - could be wrong - -don't think so though- I think we are in a win win here. - - - -besides this - -I just don't see Quentin returning here - -I think he realizes with Hampton here that with him and competition with others for minutes - - just to crowded - - Hampton - - Ochai - - & Marcus -- I think this really isn't that much

Heard on my weather Radio this morning and I counted, that there are like 13 Different Rivers and major creeks that are flooded here in Kansas and some of the Rivers flooded in Multiple locations.

Then once again their talking chances for thunderstorms this afternoon and better possibility tonight - -same goes for tomorrow and tomorrow night - -don't see any change in the pattern until possibly Tuesday they said

Silvio being freed just makes me all tingly - -makes me want to just upvote every single response here over , and over , and over lol - - - - -Silvio says: - -Float like a Butterfly -- Sting like a Bee - - -Beware Big 12 - - Silvio - - is FINALLY FREE - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
