Grimes announcing tonight
- Thread starter Fancatstik
- Start date
If he wanted to come here I'm sure we'd make room. But he's almost definitely not going to come after we signed KJ and Herro.
And probably wasn't even before those two committed.

So you're saying we don't need another Herro?
Isn't Kansas under FBI investigation? They may get even more attention from the FBI after the Billy Preston incident. No need for them to worry about the UNCAA. They are a neutered, useless, corrupt entity who people are laughing at right now.
Q picked Kansas. I really wanted but good for them, they have a nice class coming in. I'll take ours over theirs though.
Preston is a great kid , he speaks seven languages and should be able to play right away !! So say the rug doctor,. You know Self says that every year about at least one of his players it seems !!
The FBI is getting ready to drop the hammer on them .
247 said Grimes makes KU #1 in recruiting class so far. I hate Duke with a passion, but they have 3 top 5 players. KU's highest player is 11 and the other 3 are 17, 25 and 33. Those are Rivals rankings though. Still makes no sense.
Even worse. 247 has their players at 16, 24, 31, and 39. I'd take 1, 4 and 6 every day of the week. I guess it's a point system, but any way you slice it, Duke's class is WAY better.

Preston is a train wreck I mean car wreck waiting to happen. Same as Chris Walker begging for a U.K. Offer. At the time I was kinda mad Cal wouldn't extend the offer. Appears he knows more than I do about who he needs to recruit. Shocker there. For all the crap he takes about supposedly being crooked. He seems to be a whole lot cleaner than K,toupee, and ole shucks we didn't go to class for twenty years. Duke gets a pass on everything god forbid anyone question Sir chefsky. He has been Knighted. UNC I've got no words for that mess. At Kansas you have to be a felon or at least show potential. Rashad McCants basically said you can't spell flunk without Unc. In other news Georgia football team has been banned for five years for impersonating a #1 ranked team.
That's funny. Their source is the kansas student newspaper. The basis is that the FBI has documents regarding the contract between kansas and adidas. Well, they have documents from every single adidas school.
Fake news. Kansas is not being investigated any more than every other adidas or nike school.
Our class next year:
Devon Dotson 5* - Self considers the best point guard in the class. Brings it every game.
Quentin Grimes 5* - Potentially the best guard in the class regardless of ranking.
Silvio De Sousa 5* - Was top 10. Spent the summer on his home country's national team and fell in the rankings. Dominated against team USA's bigs who are higher ranked. (Should be removed from this class though, as he'll suit up this season in December).
David McCormack 4* - Best pure center in the class of 2018.
Three transfers -
Dedric Lawson - will potentially be the best PF in basketball next year
KJ Lawson - Top 40 kid in his class will be a redshirt Jr.
Charlie Moore - Dropped 38 in a game at Cal. Better freshman year than what 5* Green projects to have.
And still in the running for one of Langford/Williamson.
If you look at from a pure ratings standpoint, I say Duke and then Kentucky should have the #1 and #2 rated class. But if you factor in the above, I think Kansas has the best class next year.
Transfers are never counted in recruiting class rankings. Why would they be?
I don’t think you used the word “best” enough...
I know. That's why I said this:
"If you look at from a pure ratings standpoint, I say Duke and then Kentucky should have the #1 and #2 rated class."
But including transfers, we'll get the most production/value than any other team in college.
STFU.. KU fans are so annoying. McCormack and Souza are not 5 star recruits.
Best pure center in the class?? and he is ranked in the 30 range. KU so desperate to look important they always have to glorify the facts to stay relevant. Go play with the toilet bowl recruits, SEC rejects, and head cases. Funny knowing your best Recruit Preston literally waited for a UK offer than never came LMFAO. Once again you get our garbage.
Lawson best PF next year gotcha.. exactly why he sat out a year instead of EVEN trying the NBA combine to get drafted. Graham is this supposed god of a PG, yet a 5th year senior didnt even try and test NBA waters this summer. At least Svi tried. Go play on some small 12 board, no one here cares about desperate KU.
KU will have a down year (for them, which means they still win the Big 12 easily, but probably fail to make a deep run in the tourney) next season.
Too many new faces. They likely lose their entire starting five. Graham and Myckhailiuk graduate. Azubuike, Newman, and Preston probably go pro (though Newman probably lands in the D-League).
Probably start:
G Moore
G Grimes
G Vick
F D.Lawson
F De Sousa
They will be a little deeper, but not near as experienced. Vick will likely be the only guy returning who will log major minutes for them this season.
Self will have his work cut out for him blending this team of transfers/freshmen together.
They might turn out to be really good, they have some talent. I just think they will struggle without the experience they are use to having.

That's a fair assessment (although I'd put Dotson as the starting pg with Moore the back-up) assuming no more commits. The transfers will help transition from the experience perspective. I'm projecting our post season more favorably, of course.
Call the NCAA and cancel the college basketball season for next year. Ship the trophy to Kansas.
Grimes is really good but the rest of that class is average to our standards. And trying to hype the Prison brothers up, I mean Lawson is funny
Lawson's are not ever going to amount to their talent or they'd have never transferred they'd be in the NBA. I'll tell you a secret, the primary reason why Self took the Lawson's is 2019 and daddy Lawson's influence. James Wiseman #1 recruit Tennessee kid and friends, top 10 recruit DJ Jefferies is their cousin, top 15-20 player Chandler Lawson is their brother and by most considered the best of the brothers.

Do any Kentucky fans on this thread ever go to the Kansas boards? I can honestly say I only go there once a year or so in early March, after a Bucknell or Bradley or Northern Iowa or VCU or 10th ranked Stanford or Wichita State game for a brief chuckle -- maybe ten minutes. I don't think I've ever posted. This overpowering need for the validation of another fan base in order to feel somehow worthy is truly bizarre to me.
The problem with all of these players, while nice, is that they need to remain eligible and out of jail if they hope to contribute to an Elite Eight choke job. And if the last few years are any guide, both of those questions are completely legitimate.
I have very good sources that say [banana]KU will be exposed so bad UL will look like childs play [banana]
You are crazy man, Kentucky class will be much better. Cal will get more studs wait and see.
Well, you just about covered it, but, you forgot UL. Surely, you can edit this to include them.
Read those articles again or for the first time. Hopefully you are a graduate of the University of Kentucky. They
Oh, you have sources?
