Too many coincidences line up here. Silvio getting reinstated, Wilson visiting, and summer school starting the next week. And you don’t go on ESPN to sign a deal with Australia. ESPN would tell you to go fly a kite

So is he announcing on ESPN ?

On their morning show!

ok guy - -sorry to keep pestering you about it - but ONE more question - -do you happen to know what time that is? - -and that would be right on the ESPN Challenge then right? - -just have to watch - hope he doesn't disapoint

@jayballer73 my son was headed here from Lawrence, told him to wait til am

ya probably a good idea - -cause it looks like from the radar the Tornado that they were tracking down by Emporia if projecting right looks like it took more a a little further North Easterly path - just to the south east of Emporia.

Torrential rain - -Cottonwood Falls 3 1/2 inches of rain in one hour - -he should be all right if he is in Lawrence

Matt Tait had a pretty good take on this - - pretty solid by Matt:

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.

Rod “Ball” Hampton is already becoming tiresome.

Boy is he ever , I'm just probably making to much out of things but - - man just seems when ever there is the slightest opening it's like he would be preferring anywhere but Kansas- - -thing is it is not his decision. Yet he holds a lot of weight.

In the end I still think we win out. - -I think it for sure is between Memphis and KU , when it all is said and done - -with that being said he DID say that Memphis was crowded , and on top of that he said about Tech that Beard was a great Coach - -BUT so was Penny and then he said so is Bill. - just think Tech is not a factor.

Really liked how he talked about Doke & Devon and such - -we will see

@Crimsonorblue22 I read this from Matt Tait today:

Underclassmen have until Wednesday to pull their names out of the 2019 draft pool, therein retaining their college eligibility for the 2019-20 season.

I think they had discussed the idea of a player not being drafted being able to go back to their school, but I don't think it's in effect yet. So, if the NCAA does not make a decision on Silvio by next Wednesday, and Silvio doesn't pull out of the draft, then he will not be able to come back, even if they rule in his favor.

I don't know - - all I might refer you to is Mait Tait's weekly broadcast on his Rock Chalk Talk he does weekly - -take a listen to that and you'll hear where he says it - -I'm not gonna say one way or another now - cause could be wrong - -just going off Mait broadcast about the players - - they was talking about RJ - - Grimes and Silvio - you could be right -- all I got was how Matt was talking about how he COULD possibly - - - - - ( EDIT - - EDIT -- EDIT ) - lol - -wait wait wait. - thinking now what he was saying was Silvio COULD pull ot of the Draft - -and then he COULD still stick around until like the 20th of June and Still be able to come back and wait and see if they cleared him. - - -Yet was also talking about if Silvio went through the draft and DIDN'T get drafted he xould still come back to KU and be eligible - -even though he did have an agent.

Only thing I can tell you again is guy - Is check out Taits conversation on his weekly tale of the Tait/Rock Chalk Talk he did - you can here him talk about and explain it

@Crimsonorblue22 My understanding is he has to
either declare to stay in or come back by the 29th ...

they were talking about this -- if he goes through the NBA draft - -undrafted - - even though he has a agent he can still come back

We'll get a decision the day after the final day of the declaration of the draft...May 30th. Book it, Danno..

Matt was talking on his pod cast the other day and was saying IF Silvio REALLY wanted to -- He COULD actually wait around till the 20th of June and see if he heard anything on his appeal. - -that's a BIG IF

But he could actually wait until then to decide about coming back. - Cause even though he has hired an agent - if he were to go through the draft - -undrafted then he could come back and still be eligible to play

Thing is if they haven't gotten him a decision before the 29th of May - -WHY would you want to hang around for almost another month on the Chance that they MIGHT overturn the ruling so you were eligible. - - like Matt said if he doesn't here by the 29th - -Just go GET YOU SOME big boy - -you have to look out for # 1 -they have screwed you around long enough -why wait for ANOTHER month on the assumption that they MIGHT clear you - time to go play - - make you some money

@BeddieKU23 I am worried about Wilson now. He was a fan of the Fab Five and he was named Jalen after....Jalen Rose.

Last I knew Jalen and Howard really didn’t like each other.

Yeah the only way Grimes is back is if Dotson stays in the draft and we whiff on Hampton.

Quoted today as saying that Howard getting hired at Michigan will probably end up bringing the Fab 5 back together.

I still feel some what confident -About Jalen. - -somethings going for us still

RJ being Jalen's best friend - - how we really have his interest in the Sf situation - -stepping right into quality minutes , add those things on top of the Coach that he committed to come to Michigan to play for is gone - -add that to the fact that Yaklich sounds like he isn't the happiest camper by not getting hired - -an with him being the lead recruiter for Wilson - -these things all have to play in our favor.

The top two Coach's that was involved with you are gone or sounds like they are going to be gone - -you got a chance to play with your best friend - -one of the best schools in the game - -and like Jalen said never hear a gym as loud as KU'S atmosphere is just crazy - - - -He knows and really likes the KU Coach's - -already got his visit sit up -- even though Michigan was fairly quick with the hire -- still kind of behind the 8 ball like Corey Evans is saying

We were in his final 6 BEFORE he committed the 1st time - I think we get him on Campus for his visit - can go a long way - -we might still be OK. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Howard returns to Michigan • May 23, 2019 12:35 AM

Some tidbits and statements made from Jalen about Juwan:

Juwan Howard is exciting, BUT I still got the same Business. It's not going to change everything. It's a new Coach so he's gonna have to recruit and do all the business all over again like everybody else , really.

Another : -- " Juwan - - - He's alum and has NBA knowledge so that's always great to have in a Coach They ( Michigan ) have always stayed in the mix , but with the timing and not knowing who the Coach would be I had to go out and explore my options.

Another Jalen statement: Jalen told M live that he expects Juwan Howard if he is in fact U_M's next Coach- - to reach out , visit his home , & lay out his vison. Keeping any or all of the current assistants would go a long way for Jalen , as he got to know them well during his recruiting process. - -( side note with this - -I'm thinking Yaklich was the lead recruiter in Jalen's recruitment - an lots of smoke about him going to Texas - if that turns out then that means the Coach you committed to play for is no longer there - - the lead recruiter that was on you all the time could very easily not be there - from reading kindof sound s like Yaklich might be hot that he wasn't hired )

Then there was this statement: - -Former Michigan signee Jalen Wilson's interest is piqued. - -Told the wolverine.com earlier today Juwan Howards hiring put Michigan back in the mix.

These things being said makes me think our chance has dropped some - - I think we are probably at 50/50 with him now - - -If Juwan has his in-home visit - I think there is going to be a lot of pressure on - -we will see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

New 2019 Recruiting • May 22, 2019 09:39 PM

Ok, so we now know Howard got hired at Michigan - - -surprise , surprise. - My thing is that yes with this hire , I'm sure Howard will hit Wilson hard throw his pitch - and I'm sure Jalen will listen for sure , I've heard his parents really did love Michigan - - big fans. - -It wouldn't surprise me that he did possibly stay put with this hire - - yet wouldn't surprise me either if he transferred out - -I'd it now has shifted back to 50/50

My question is - -has anybody heard or seen yet - - Has Michigan even released him from his LOI yet? - -I know he asked for it but haven't heard if they granted his release - - anyone know? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well it sounds like we (KU ) will find out soon possibly if we are going to face any kind of penalty with the NCAA on this whole mess.

Least that's how I'm seeing it - -could be wrong. - -Read off an ESPN article that they said that they should be sending out allegations I guess to schools that might have NCAA violations. - -they listed Arizona - -KU - -N Carolina St - - Louisville - was schools that was mentioned in the whole thing doesn't mean those are the only schools doesn't mean we are going to be having allegations sent to us.

The only thing I'm trying to say is that they are planning on sending them out to schools that might be receiving allegations. -- Said there is no time table but he thinks it will be soon. - -guess we shall see if we are in trouble soon or not. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Whoa buddy - I am taking exception to that remark - plain and simple - -That's one of my favorite player - -don't hate the player - -hate the game - can't believe someone who is suppose to be a KU fan telling a 18-19 yr old kid who loves Ku and just really wants to play for KU - -you telling him to leave - -That's pretty JACKED UP padner

I',/others are just as frustrated but to just come out and tell Silvio to leave - -pretty much hell why don't you just come out and say GET THE HELL OUT that's sad buddy = - - - I'm Done

He is not going to be reinstated. He needs to move on.

Silvio needs to do whatever he wants. There’s nothing preventing him from playing professionally if he withdraws from the draft. There’s nothing preventing him from sitting out next year at Kansas, playing his senior year, and finishing his degree. How many better players are there in the class of 2020 than a 22 year old Silvio? Not many.

There will be quite a few actually, and unlike him they will have played for the past two seasons. It is what it is, and unlike this year's crapshoot in recruiting his situation is all but guaranteed; i.e. he will not be reinstated by the so-called independent review board.

did you not see Farmer said in the class of 2020? - -if a kid is in the class of 2020 he hasn't even stepped on the floor yet in college - Soooo they would have ZERO experience. - -Pretty sure he is talking about recruits from the class of 2020 - -

Yeah,,,,, I did. Did you? Atleast those guys would have been playing for the past two years (though only high school) unlike De Sousa. Understand? I see all the posts, and guess what? We have ALL been more wrong than right..... Come on,,,, quit.... That guy isn't going to ride the pine for yet another year and come back to play at KU..... Good god, he could make a living overseas right now.

As you say - - " GOOD GOD " - - you didn't see me say a thing about him as you say riding the pine. -- you think the kid has been just sitting around and eating Chocolate Bon Bon's during this time. - -Been well stated he worked out daily with the team this past Season - -also working out on his own. - -do you think his talent just magically disappeared - like POOF and he was a walking Waldo? - -he has been scrimmaging ALL this past season against other P-5 major caliber players - -not high School kids competing against other high school kids. - Plus I'm also talking about the appeal being granted - -which the staff is feeling more and more confident about daily.

Hell fricken no - if he isn't granted the appeal - he already said he wouldn't be back - -why would he - - but if he is granted his appeal which again obviously I feel better about it - -the staff is feeling better about it then you. - -Although these people need to get it's head out of it's ass and get the decision made - -all things they need is in -- has been in - -they screwing around with the kids future - -I think these people have a Hardon for KU and Self - -Watch they gonna keep screwin around until after the 29th - as to Where Silvio has no choice but to leave - -typical.

@jayballer73 Man you’re going all in. Haha. Hampton better not be scared by Grimes. If he is worried about PT or position competition at a college level then what’s it going to be like for him in the NBA

exactly , and I think that's why he isn't scared - you can't have that kind of mentality - if you gonna act scared or played scared then you might as well have a seat , the game will eat you up and spit you out - you have to have that edge and I think that is RJ's mentality he knows he is good and he backs it up - -difference between grimes and RJ ? - -Grimes just pretty much had his way against High School competition - -got pretty full of himself - -lazy on defense - even in High School - -never transitioned over in College - always an lay defense - and like has been mentioned - -really don't think Coach had any options last year - pretty much why he DID start as many games as he did. - -Ummmm you don't have to worry about RJ'S defense - - Difference between RJ & Hampton - -RJ is the COMPLETE player - - RJ isn't backing down from any other player - - he knows he belongs on the floor in any situation - he has that edge - smarter player then Quentin.

Now let me just say I want to apologize to people here - - I'm truly sorry let my KU emotions get carried away - getting my Crimson and Blue blood flowing - for that I apologize get carried away - - even though I'm not backing off my stance between Rj and Grimes. - -In the end I don't think it's going to be an issue coming down to Grimes and RJ cause I fully believe Grimes IS NOT coming back - he will stick with the NBA - so it won't not be an issue.

I just think a lot of my reactions is that I'm so sick and tired of this recruiting season -- ready for this crap to be over with. -one day we get the feel - -ya were in great shape -- next day -dam looks like we missed - - the next day oh we okj - -to many peaks and valleys - -ya I realize it's the case most year - -just seems like this year - it's been a lot worse - I mean here we are heading in to June and our Roster is STILL up in the air - -just to a point I'm about to say screw it and somebody holler let me know who got - - -who we don't - -when it's all over lol - -one thing I know is it wil always be a ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG DAY TO ME

I totally f-ing agree with you there. One crazy ass recruiting season. Am I wrong, or is this the craziest year ever? Arizona and LSU still popping on recruits (and they, unlike us, could be in boiling hot water), yet we struggle. Man, it has never been more obvious that the genie has left the bottle...

Sure, why not. Grimes isn't competition for RJ. Under this scenario, Grimes is fighting with Garrett for first small off the bench kind of minutes

Exactl what I just got through posting - - Grimes is no threat to RJ - -your gonna be having IF Grimes did come back your going to be having Agbaji and Grimes backing RJ at the 2 and Marcus backing Devon - -and RJ also giving Devon Breaks

You could even possibly have Agbaji slide down to the 3 for a few minutes - -so Agbaji - -gonna be getting his minutes - - Marcus will be getting his that he is use to - -And RJ & Devon ROLLING. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If I'm RJ - - why not? - -better then any of the one's you mentioned - - and even if Devon comes back - he would be sharing some time , with Devon - -not sitting , I think KU is recruiting RJ more as a 2 guard and keeping DD at the point or visa versa - -RJ at the point and sliding Devon over to the 2

Either way if RJ comes your be gonna seeing RJ and Devon on the floor the majority of the time - -who else is that group is challenging RJ for starting minutes - - and RJ will be starting if he comes here - -the only other one close to challenging RJ for starting minutes possibly would be Agbaji - -in the 2 spot - -and not really that stiff of challenge - -I think Devon & RJ would be a great fit together - it would be having 2 PG'S on the floor at the same time. - -When Devon needed a blow rest - -RJ slide over and play the 1 spot. - -Or Marcus gan give Devon a blow and RJ stay put - - Agbaji giving RJ a break at the 2 - -Devon and RJ are not going to be competing against one another for minutes - -they will quite likely be playing ALOT at the same time. -other then him - -no one a challenge for RJ. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@rockchalkwyo Thanks. Well obviously they are not sold on all of the Wilson and KU chatter.

It's more like they are no longer feeling like that he will be staying at Michigan - -looks like they were Michigan before and now changing their pick to they just are unclear

Ya just checked 247 - - so ya that's what it is, -- These two guys had predicted originally that Jalen went to Michigan - -now they are backing off from he staying at Michigan - -their CB has dropped from like 62% this morning down to 50 % now - -and KU at 39% - -so just meaning they are not sure about where he is going instead of picking Michigan

Now let me just say I want to apologize to people here - - I'm truly sorry let my KU emotions get carried away - getting my Crimson and Blue blood flowing - for that I apologize get carried away - - even though I'm not backing off my stance between Rj and Grimes. - -In the end I don't think it's going to be an issue coming down to Grimes and RJ cause I fully believe Grimes IS NOT coming back - he will stick with the NBA - so it won't not be an issue.

I just think a lot of my reactions is that I'm so sick and tired of this recruiting season -- ready for this crap to be over with. -one day we get the feel - -ya were in great shape -- next day -dam looks like we missed - - the next day oh we okj - -to many peaks and valleys - -ya I realize it's the case most year - -just seems like this year - it's been a lot worse - I mean here we are heading in to June and our Roster is STILL up in the air - -just to a point I'm about to say screw it and somebody holler let me know who got - - -who we don't - -when it's all over lol - -one thing I know is it wil always be a ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG DAY TO ME

Just a paper top 10 guy. No one is scared of the Grimes we all saw.

you know that - - I know that - - RJ knows that lol

Well it's not "lol." The reality is that Bill Self started him every game. That should make a recruit take notice.

It's funny, in nearly the same breath, you state that we should take Bill Self's word as the gospel, then you mock Grimes' on court abilty -- and Bill Self started him every game.

look I'm not goin to keep going on this crap - I'll simple end it with I'd bet you my farm that RJ is not afraid of Grimes - -no matter he started one game or 1000 games- -RJ how grimes has preformed I'm sure he isn't losing any sleep over Quentin Grimes - -end of story -nothing to see here any more time to move on -- I'll take my chances with RJ - -ANY day - -Any Time - - Any where over Grimes

Just leave, already..... Time to get this crap behind us and move the hell on.

Whoa buddy - I am taking exception to that remark - plain and simple - -That's one of my favorite player - -don't hate the player - -hate the game - can't believe someone who is suppose to be a KU fan telling a 18-19 yr old kid who loves Ku and just really wants to play for KU - -you telling him to leave - -That's pretty JACKED UP padner

not pretty jacked up - -THATS just totally screwed up - and you a KU fan? - -and don't be coming in and trying to say about OH he knew - -OH he knew - I will call BS on you with that - this kid just wanting to play ball and he wants to play ball at KU - that has to be probably one of the more screwed up posts I've seen and your a KU fan? I',/others are just as frustrated but to just come out and tell Silvio to leave - -pretty much hell why don't you just come out and say GET THE HELL OUT that's sad buddy = - - - I'm Done

He is not going to be reinstated. He needs to move on.

Silvio needs to do whatever he wants. There’s nothing preventing him from playing professionally if he withdraws from the draft. There’s nothing preventing him from sitting out next year at Kansas, playing his senior year, and finishing his degree. How many better players are there in the class of 2020 than a 22 year old Silvio? Not many.

There will be quite a few actually, and unlike him they will have played for the past two seasons. It is what it is, and unlike this year's crapshoot in recruiting his situation is all but guaranteed; i.e. he will not be reinstated by the so-called independent review board.

did you not see Farmer said in the class of 2020? - -if a kid is in the class of 2020 he hasn't even stepped on the floor yet in college - Soooo they would have ZERO experience. - -Pretty sure he is talking about recruits from the class of 2020 - -

@ajvan How can he? He doesn't even know who to replace or how many scholarships he has.... Who to offer and who not. If you don't think that Hampton cares whether Grimes is or isn't coming back you are probably mistaken. If you were him would you?

If your a player with the type of talent that RJ has , you really think Quentin Grimes would scare RJ off? - - Come on man get real - -if your an elite talent like he is - you should have the confidence - -that edge you better then anyone else on that floor back it up - -RJ knows you can't just walk in an get a spot - -you compete for that position if competition is there -and if he wasn't willing to compete and afraid THE OTHER is better then him? - we don't want that type of player anyways -- RJ is not afraid of competition and sure the hell not afraid of Quentin. - -I think Bill knows Jussssssssss a little more then you or I or anyone else on here - I think his 14 straight championships speak for themselves - his hall of fame induction pretty well speaks for its'self - -I think his National championship speaks for it'self - - I think his final fours speak for themselves -and you question if he know what the hell he is doing? - - Come on man let's be real

They are players not machines, of course he cares.

your DEAD WRONG PERIOD - - just dead wrong no if and or but's - -RJ could give a rats ass if Grimes is there or not. - -WHY ? - - because he is a competitor -and a dam good one at that - -why the hell would he give a tinkers dam , if your as good as they say you are and you think you are - you could care less who is there BECAUSE you are that competitor -I would be saying Bring it Quentin - -let's see what you got - -you WIN that spot - -it's not given to you - -nothing is just given to you - -and RJ would welcome the challenge if it comes to that - -you are DEAD WRONG
