Recruiting 2019

[bigB]

I rode the elevator with coach Self a few years ago in Kansas City. When I told him I was from South Dakota he asked me which Dakota Boschee was from. I guess it's a common mistake.

Matt Hurt is visiting this weekend.

Could this be a complete turnaround weekend?

1. De Sousa cleared
2. Beat Tech
3. Get Matt Hurt committed for a next year's lineup of:

Dotson
Grimes
Agbaji
Hurt
De Sousa

I don't see it but i'm still holding on hope to senior Dok.

Time to break out the adidas bag guy. Now.

Me too. He's a beast.

I'd say he chances at long term NBA success are limited...but he can make a ton of money overseas. He's injury prone, so coming back is a risk....but getting a free college degree isn't a risk. He will have to weigh his options, but testing the waters last year makes me think he's probably ready to move on.

[sdoyel]

Dok is still also only like 19. Turns 20 next Fall I believe.

[Lonestarjayhawk]

Plus Dok is 19. He has another year to develop before NBA thinks he is too old.

[CrimsonNBlue]

Age isn't the issue.

[jfish26]

Not that there's a decision to be made today (I think), but when we announced that Doke was done, Self said they weren't going to pursue a medical redshirt for this season. I don't know why you wouldn't do it, if there was a chance he's coming back.

[sdoyel]

Dok is in a tough spot. If he declares he needs to just go all-in. The thing is, he's going to miss all the combine stuff. So not really sure how he can improve his stock for this draft.

I am guessing most would tell him to come back to KU or go play overseas for a year.

[CrimsonNBlue]

The best thing for Udoka would have been to play this whole season and have a very realistic shot of being drafted in the 2nd round this summer. It's one of the most sympathetic injuries we've witnessed in Bill's time here.

Now, I think you just have to keep pressing on with entering the 2019 draft. Coming back seems risky. He's already fairly labeled as injury prone and a foot injury next year would seal his fate. Get the hand ready and start working for the draft.

...and go undrafted, and get on with the next thing (whether G League or otherwise).

I'm not being flip. That's just where he's at.

[sdoyel]

I'm with you guys. Just seems hard to justify coming back due to the injury concerns.

[sdoyel]

I do get a good feeling we see SDS here next year assuming he's deemed eligible. He need to put a full collegiate season together...

[PhDhawk]

Age isn't the issue.

Maybe it is.

The ligaments in his wrists clearly hadn't matured.

Ya. He's probably not getting drafted by an NBA team.

[Lonestarjayhawk]

He should come back. He is 19. He won't be drafted this year.

[PortlandHawk]

Anthony Edwards cut KU

[Lonestarjayhawk]

He was never coming here. No loss.

[PortlandHawk]

That’s what I was hearing but just updating folks.
