Ballot would have been a great pickup but, of course, coaches have to manage the salary structure of the entire team, while keeping the overall salary cap they have available at their school. That $1.2 mill number is less than Dickinson got from KU last year (reportedly) so it probably shouldn't be ...

I don't think Omoruyi has scheduled any visits yet so, at this point, it would appear we are just as in-play as any other school on his list.

I heard he played with Taj Manning (AAU, I guess?). I also saw KU was mentioned on him, although that may just be someone throwing out KU because he is from KC, was good coming out of high school,and went to Duke, so they assume KU would be the school here. Typical arrogant/lazy narrative.

Hate to miss on him. The local recruiting guys seemed to think we were in a good place. The kid from S Dakota St cancels his visit to reschedule and now we lose this kid. Hopefully this is just a sign that we are about to land an even bigger fish.

I am going to disagree with some on here. My favorite is the 3MAW cast with Kurtz,Manbeck, and Young. Kurtz grew up a K-Stater from a K-State family so don't let some of those that disagree with him sway you from listening. He is K-State through and through and doesn't report what he doesn't know, o...

Is that more than they usually pay? Does anyone have what Kansas has paid to their players yearly going back throughout the Self era?

I wouldn't think Pope would be big enough (not physically but splash-wise) for Kentucky. I would be surprised if it ends up being him.

Being able to offer the cash levels the recruiting playing field so it can then be about the abilities and connections of the recruiters themselves and what they and the University have to offer. If that field is leveled, it still comes back to ability to recruit. It's just that now there aren't a h...

That doesn't mean they can get any of them they want, but they would all at least take the call and consider.

Coaches off their shopping list: Oats, Hurley, Drew, Calipari, Self, UNC coach, Duke coach, most NBA coaches. Everyone else is still on their list.
