Did he pick Duke yet???
I heard that they gaining old Mo - -ALL CB's - will probably change to Duke tomorrow -- Also got a friend of a friend that has a farther-in-law that has a girl on the side - -that has a friend - -that has another friend - who is a friend of the janitor - -that has a friend that's is the water boy - -that has a friend that says - - -YA

I have been reliably informed that Hampton and Boogie are mutually exclusive for Memphis.
Ummm sure not what the CB's Are indicating
Just got another pick from Jason Scheer a Arizona guy we are now at 53% -to 27 %
Ok got a couple of questions guys , bare with me. - -So let's play this out IF - RJ does indeed end up committing to us -again how would this effect Rayjon Tucker committing here? - I just think it makes all the difference in the world , I mean I can live with it for sure but I'm just curious.
I think if indeed RJ commits -- Rayjon goes to Auburn, the way look at it is - -Devon comes back ( which I fully expect ) that takes care of the PG - - so then that moves RJ over to the 2 spot. - -I don't think Tucker backing up anyone for his ONE year left - so I think if RJ ends up with us - he either lands at Auburn - - OR stays in the NBA draft -which kind of Sucks - -But talk to me - -let me know.
2nd thing: - -With RJ re-classifying and IF he commits to us then , I would think a big thing for us , would be - -a thing I think we would want would be for Kyree to stay in the 2020 class right , for next year. - -slide right in to RJ'S spot. - - I think in the end - - he too though will end up reclassifying which doesn't bode well if RJ lands here. - - Although people have been calling him a player that can play almost any spot. -- Maybe we could work him at the 3 - -talk to me let me know
Last thing guys is has anyone heard anything about a timeline for Holyfield as to when he wants to decide?
Had to laugh at a comment off the phog about RJ - -they were talking about RJ'S timeline for announcing - saying they look for him to possibly move up his announcement - -talking about him saying he was planning on enrolling wherever he went for the summer 2nd semester classes. - -some was saying why wouldn't he? - -here is the funny part I thought guy says : - -Maybe he is waiting to announce in July/August so he can get his academics in order so he can enroll. Umm the kid has his academics in order - -- - - Rj has like a 3.75 GPA which last time I knew is pretty dam good and like what a 1250 core? - -is that right? - sounds pretty solid to me. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Another pick for KU...from a Memphis guy...
Dam - -they must of surrendered - - That's why we starting to see more Boogie for Memphis.
You think about it though - -Memphis got a VERY solid class with Wiseman - - if the get Boogie - -they get Precious and others
Josh Gordon at 9:59 put his CB pick in for KU - -We now in the lead checking in at 50% for KU and 29 % for Memphis - -keep on Rollin. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well now even with Memphis 43 %- - -43 % - makes like the last 5 picks for KU. -Chad Lykins predicted KU at 10:42 last night - - also saw a CB pick for Boogie Ellis to Memphis. -- Sounds like to me that quite possibly -things have flipped. -
Again though how will this effect Rayjon? - Possibly Rayjon play at the 2? Or will it be enough to shove him to Auburn? - -Devon more likely then not gonna be running the Point - - --UNLESS somebody knows something - - Devon not coming back. If Devon comes back - - which I fully think he will - -he will run the point and RJ very well could play the 2 - -and Rayjon? - - hope it all works out. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Everyone is going to follow Daniels.
I'm interested in Meyer's and Slater at this point.
exactly my friend - - I said the same earlier -Evan usually holds of some UNLESS it's just a sure bet early - -these other so called experts kind of just follow lead. - -If we are up to 38% - we were 33% - then that means like the last 4 CB's have been Ku.
You have Daniels -- the Duke guy - - If I were a betting man - - Chris Fisher made his pick - -it is a VIP pick so couldn't see - - -but I would bet anything it was a KU pick -then this last pick - -things a shifting - - something might have leaked. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Room for both the way I'm looking at it.
Honestly, I think Garrett is about to get the squeeze on minutes if we do end up with both.
Garrett and Agbaji would both be coming off the bench. Garrett will get minutes though lets not kid ourselves.
I think he gets his minutes , maybe not as many - - main reason being I think he has even played a little 3 hasn't he? - between giving spot minutes for all 3 - he will get his minutes.
Doesn't have to be many or a lot at a time - -I hate giving up his presence on the defensive end. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk Miles and Manning (after Manning gets fired) - I want both. I don't want Danny as a head coach but do want him for his recruiting and ability to work with big men, ditto for Miles wih guards. Personally, I think our program has suffered since Danny left for Tulsa.
Danny was really good working with the Big's for sure. - -Thing is and I would love if he came back - - BUT I just don't see that happening whether he gets fired or not. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 He doesn't. It's just a token of respect.
could you imagine - -if it all worked out in the back court that you mentioned - and then by some chance we could get Holyfield AND even Enurana to go along with Doke - - Mc Cormack & Mitch in the front line?
FarmerJayhawk said:
@jayballer73 No worries my dude. I'm saying it may not happen and I'm not sure RJ is that into Tech. He has them on his list because he wants an Under Armour school since he used to play on their shoe circuit and it's a Texas school. Have to keep the locals interested, even though Lubbock might as well be on Mars compared to Dallas.
Oh yes, if we got RJ and Tucker I'd think Braun would RS.
Well if he wants to play for an UA School then that takes us out for sure then right?

FWIW I'm not sure Hampton will even get to Tech for a visit. Sounds like window dressing more than anything. UA plus the hometown(ish) school. UK is also out.
Dotson, Hampton, Tucker, Agbaji, Garrett is a pretty okay guard rotation. Factor in the bigs and it would one of Self's best rosters in quite some time...

@jayballer73 If it makes you feel any better about all those wonderful recruits Calipari gets. He has the same amount of championships as KU and one more NIT appearance. He’s about as successful at buying a roster as the Yankees of late.
doesn't replace the fact bottom line is he is getting them. - -doesn't say a thing about his Coaching abilities. - - I've seen multiple Great recruiting coach's that can't Coach - perfect example was coach Owens back in his day - -recruited many really good players back in his day - just didn't do squat with them.
Bottom line is UK just continually kicks our ass in recruiting -- The thing is in reality the programs NOT that much difference - just UK has a staff that can sell a program - - finish out - -we obviously don't - -we CAN NOT FINISH. - -it shows year after year after year. - - I'm not talking with this topic about winning National Championships - -this topic is about RECRUITING - -where they whip our ass like a Church House mouse - year - - after year -- after year. -Their staff can finish. - Again I'm not talking Coaching ability - -for me Calipari - has NOTHING on Self as far as Coaching - - perfect example was our NC against Memphis
I have NO PROBLEM - - ZELCH about Coach Self and his coaching - perfect examples with his success against Duke - - North Carolina - - -and others - -just simply saying it very well could be time for Coach to bring in new blood for his staff - -the results in recruiting are right there in front of our face - -top quality commits don't lie
It's not about wonderful recruits - it's I'd like to be able to land some of those wonderful recruits. - -you have to get the players to get the results - -were NOT getting the players. I think Coach is the better Coach - -so 1st we need those players to see. - -Job is not getting done
Really frustrating year recruiting wise.- Saw Rayjon had tweeted some more , but getting to thinking -- maybe he just loves twitting - -getting the spotlight - -who knows, you really can't take a lot from it at this point really don't know at this point.
Looking more and more like quite possibly that RJ does commit to fricken Memphis - - I think it's still gonna be a hard draw to get Tucker away from Auburn it sounds like - - - Enaruna - not really very sure about that , sounds like he is wanting quality playing time his Fresh year , just not real sure that's happening here. - - -Holyfield -real good chance he ends up at Illinois with Underwood. - - - After we supposedly had Earl locked what happens? - - goes to another school. - - Then we had Stanley , people thinking we had a legit chance and BAM - - - Duke
More Frustration - -makes it even worse , and actually for the 1st time begins to make me wonder - - do we need a shake up in Coach Self's staff? - I have said this before -- we are just NOT closing the deal on these kids - - someone is NOT finishing the job , looking like once these kids talk very favorable then whoever backs off -slacks like I dunno staying on top of these kids until they have signed that paper. - -we have got to grab these kids by the throat - -stay on them don't EVER take anything for granted with these kids. - -been mentioned - we maybe need new blood injected in the staff.
The frustration for me is seeing Calipari his success. They just got their commitment from Kahlil Whitney # 8 in the Nation - -their 6th for 2019. - -BUT here is the deal Calipari in his 11 years at Kentucky has got 52 commitments from top -- 50 kids - -- in those 11 yrs - - - he has gotten 43 commitments from top 25 kids during these 11 yrs - -- - -And 23 commitments from - - - top 10 players during that time. - - I can't stand Calipari - -BUT numbers don't lie - the Guy can flat out recruit he and his staff obviously - - which only leads to my statement about possibly needed fresh blood injected into our staff. - -yr after yr they continue to whip ass in recruiting. - -what have we gotten during that time frame - Hell we haven't come that close in Coach Self's 16 yrs.
The only positive as small as it is in recruiting - I was reading off the UK boards - - they were talking about future recruits and listed who they were and their chances - the focus was about them losing ground with Scottie Barnes ?
Well there was a couple of so called analyst talking about where uncommitted recruits and 2020 recruits were going to land. - -This guy named - - Kendyl Provost Jr of the West Coast that is connected/projecting players follows a lot of players and such - - -He predicting that we STILL will get RJ - -and also predicting that we land Precious - -Sooo whatever that's worth if anything.
One thing I wonder now - - With Kentucky getting the commit out of Whitney - -how does that effect Johnny J ? - -both play the same position both 6'6 SF - -says He still wants in at Kentucky - - just insane - -think we got ANY shot?

Tucker, Holyfield, Enaruna, Hampton, McBride and Braun, where would that class rank?
Since the transfers wouldn't count on the recruiting sites probably somewhere in the bottom Top 10, low teens
I ran the Class Calculator on 247. The additions of Hampton/Enaruna would jump KU's class from 57th to 13th.
Personally this would be a good haul. 3, One year players that can all play right away. 3 development players that become the foundation for future classes

@jayballer73 The previous strike brings up a sore spot which really is a dislike for ESPN. I heard a talking head on some baseball show talking about the 1994 strike saying people didn't mind the strike that year. Well the Sox had the best record in baseball, just a loaded talented team that was really looking like a world series team. They'd come close the season before. The strike of course took care of it and is still a huge sore spot among Sox fans. But ESPN said baseball fans didn't mind.
Ya well - - you know - - & I know - - it's ESPN - they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. - -I mean I'm not near the fan I was when I was younger BUT - -still like Baseball
I use to hear so much how Baseball was a boring game , because of things like how many times a pitcher throwing to 1st when a runner on - - Batters stepping out of the box - -etc. - I didn't really think about that when I was younger and involved a in the game myself with me being a pitcher. I loved the game = like I have stated previously - had the chance to try my luck in the late 60's - As a pitcher you have to control the game. -In the middle 60's - -late 60's - -Left Handed Pitchers STILL wasn't nearly as common as today - I am left handed and they like I had two different pitching deliveries - - straight over the top -- OR sidearm motion pitched both ways - Over the top was a little better control - - Sidearm more veolicity. - Side arm was topping out around 95 mph - -then had a mean curve , of course part of a curve comes Natural to left handed Pitchers. - -Anyways the Cincinnati wanted to go to their rookie camp - thing was back in those days things were a lot different. I had just got married - - wasn't making even with in a sneeze of what players make these days - -was sure how long I'd be there in the minors - -should of taken the risk - -but like I said had just got married an felt like I needed to play that Male role and support for the family - - NOW. - just a green 18 yr old.
I had my coach talk to me once when I came back around. He said can I ask you a question? - -I said sure. - -He says can I ask you WHY in the hell didn't you go pro? - My only response was -I dunno - - stupid I guess.- -He says well I'm telling you this - - I've coach a lot of prospects -- really good players and says I've never seen a kid be able to throw a curve like you can throw the Curve - -lol - -I said ya well - - -Ah the good ol days.
But since I've gotten away from the game many years ago - -ya I can now kind of understand - Baseball IS kind of a boring game - -so many times not a hell of a lot going on. - -no action/boring -- but Man I had great times playing.
Another thing was I wasn't the best hitter in the world - -and back in those days there was no DH at the time - which meant I was going to have to hit - -wasn't the best thing for me to think about lol. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
