Recruiting 2019

[holidaysmore]

IMO...It is Duke, UNC, Kentucky...and then everyone else is fighting for the scraps.

Yeah Duke is THE place to be in college basketball right now.

[twocoach]

this has less to do with adidas, and more to do with the recruiting staff, imo

unless, and this is entirely possible, its just been a bit of bad luck recently...it wasn't THAT long ago that we got Wiggs...or had a POY followed by a POY candidate

We had an elite recruiting class just last year. How you blame this year's recruiting issues on the staff is odd.

A new name...

On campus today. With classes in session today and this weather--I predict a verbal commitment.

Meh.

This is the best we can do?

[PortlandHawk]

If we have lightfoot, desousa, dok, and dmac back, do we need Holyfield? Also why not go all in on shooters? (I see Holyfield has a good 3pt% but we need other dudes to make shots.)

[randylahey]

It only takes a couple bad seasons until you are considered a has been.....just ask Indiana.

Lol. We were preseason #1 this past season. Far from a has been

[PortlandHawk]

Also Dok is officially back.

Never turn down a shooter...

[holidaysmore]

The thought of a potential front court that includes Dok, DeSousa, and D-Mac...it moved.

The thought of a back court without Dot and zero outside shooting...makes me shudder.

Today was a win for KUCMB. Lose Stanley but gain Dok. All take that.

As recently as six months ago, it was not crazy to think about redshirting two of Ochai, DMac and Lightfoot in 2018-19.

[Lonestarjayhawk]

Dok, DMac, Lightfoot and SFA Grad Transfer holding down front court

Dotson, Hampton, Och, McBride, Braun, Marcus, maybe Grimes in the backcourt.

Get another Wing or Stretch 4 to play this season

Pick up two transfers, maybe Hausers Brothers and call it a class...

[holidaysmore]

Not even sure if it needs to be mentioned but Stanley to Duke is official.

[PortlandHawk]

Stanley would have been nice but ‘we NEED shooters’

[sdoyel]

Duke is the new Kentucky. It's a phase. What has Duke won lately? Jack shit. Good luck there guys...

[NewtonHawk11]

This is the 4th year in a row that Duke has had the #1 recruiting class. Not 1 Final 4 in that time.

We haven't won a national title since 2008.

So "good luck there" may not be wrong, but the same could be said about us.

But KU is also the best team in March during that time frame. Not to mention the streak and the overall W/L percentage.

did you not read my other post?

[twocoach]

Now Kansas needs to land a few players who can shoot.

As far as POY followed by POY candidate goes, I don't remember many fans jumping for joy when KU landed commitments from guys who were let out of their letters to Towson and Appalachian State.
