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...
Wow, he has some mismatch ability! He looks like he can play any position. Thank you for posting this. Honestly, with how much we lose I'd love to get both and then a grad/juco transfer guard. Two play-making forwards that can create to team with Young and Lard finishing, and a backcourt that can really breakdown a defense. If there's room for more than three, grab Yenta.

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.
Perry Ellis?..Josh Jackson??..Jackson's no 2 guard. I think both Lucas and Traylor would have had better careers at Iowa State. KU always has talent and there's only so many shots in a game. Good chance to get buried on that bench also.

Never mind LOL!

Cuonzo Martin will add Michael Porter Sr as an assistant, per sources. Michael Porter Jr did not sign an NLI.

Anyone get the feeling Self agonizes over the guys we are recruiting, I know we aren't on their recruiting level but with Juiston, the guard they swept in late on a couple years ago that wasted away on their bench and I'm sure others, I truely believe Bill watches tape and says do I really want to face this kid in Hilton?

You only have 13 spots. This isn't the 1965 Alabama football program that will take 135 kids on scholarship so Auburn and Georgia can't have them.

Yetna visiting Old Dominion. My guess is he's not near the top of our pecking order.
