Juiston's list of 9 schools he's considering:
Rutgers
St. Joe’s
VCU
UConn
Kansas
Iowa State
UNLV
Rhode Island
Oklahoma

JUCO Star Shakur Juiston Has Nine Top Schools

 

[LLCoolCY]

Not sure this is too exciting but Juiston named his top 9... and is still open if programs want to reach out. Not sure why this necessitated an article but it's below. It is notable that Illinois was cut, likely with the firing of Groce, as they were talking to him a lot 2 weeks ago,

"Juiston is considering Rutgers, St. Joe’s, VCU, UConn, Kansas, Iowa State, UNLV, Rhode Island and Oklahoma."

Some tough competition there. Hopefully the time our coaches have put in puts us more toward the top of that list. Playing time is not an issue. A deep run over the next couple weeks could go a long way.

Let's hope so!! I think he plays tomorrow night. I would think there's a stream of the game.

A deep run with ISU beating KU also wouldn't hurt. Playing time at ISU has to be up there on his list.

KU also doesn't have as good of a recent history of using forwards like him. Does he want to be the next Lucas/Traylor or the next White/Georges/Burton/Ejim/Nader? We love running our offense through a forward that can create.

Geez, I don't know which offer scares me the worst.....Kansas or UNLV'$ Could be a lot$ out there for the young man.

 

[Cyclonepride]

Juiston is #1 on my wish list. I get every name on that list except UNLV and Rutgers. Two awful programs.

He's from Newark, so Rutgers is close to home.

Yeah, VCU, St. Joe's, Rutgers, and Rhode Island are all home connections. I could be wrong, but I thought I remembered hearing that he did want to possibly go closer to home. Can anyone help me out, if they remember this also?

Although, that could have been before he started getting these bigger offers in the midwest

Lol, are you basically saying that Lucas and Traylor would be like White or Niang on ISU's team? No

Also, Niang, White, Ejim etc would have been good for KU as well.

Uhhh... no. I don't think that is what he is saying at all. He's saying Juiston fits the matchup nightmare forward role better than the traditional forward role.

even if that isn't what he was trying to say, I agree with you

Read again, please.

KU is where skilled forwards go to watch Mason shoot undeserved free throws

 

[Thomasrickj]

Any word on Yetna?

 

[isutrevman]

He's saying KU is starting to have a track record of talented big men underachieving. I would probably not include Lucas on that as I think he's gotten a lot out of his talent. Bragg, Diallo, Alexander, Black, Traylor, Lightfoot. Especially early in their career. Embiid and Ellis would be the successful ones.

You gotta feel like beyond Juiston with all of the coaching changes that will happen this offseason we should be in an amazing spot to pull in some pretty high rated transfers (or kids that asked out of their scholarship). While I liked some of the names we were after we could be going after bigger fish then them. Will be a really fun offseason.

 

[Rabbuk]

Yetna feels like a backup plan for Juiston, just based on Oregon St. getting crystal balls.

 

[MartinCy]

Juiston is definitely our #1 priority right now. But I really want Raynere Thornton if we can't get Juiston. Thornton reminds me a lot of Kane. This move here is textbook Burton too...


And there's this...

Yes, he's glad he met ya.
