Around SBN: Clippers Need To Realize That Spurs Are The Anti-Grizzlies

This is getting fun. Jayhawkslant is reporting a pending announcement this week from 2012 small forward recruit Zach Peters. Finalists include Kansas, Kentucky, UNC and Texas. Hints that this could be very promising for Coach Self and the Jayhawks.

Just saw the news!

It would be nice if he picked KU and then grew a few more inches before he came here. 6’9" as a sophmore is just plain sick! haha

If he picks Kansas...

it will be the first piece of what could be an incredible class…one of the best.

53 Conference Championships!! and now 6 IN A ROW!!! Holy Hell...Good Luck with That!!

What's his rating?

Looks like Rivals doesn’t have a ranking and Scout.com has him as a 3-star player. Obviously, for a HS sophomore, ratings don’t mean a whole lot, probably. Just curious is all. Is this kid truly elite?

Well, that sucked.

by Bensa on Apr 19, 2010 9:02 AM CDT up reply actions  

well...

Texas, UNC, Kentucky and Kansas are his final four. How many non elite players do you know attending those schools? Especially with scholarship offers as a sophomore?

: )

I'm guessing that's what Bensa's list looked like after his LSAT.

Glad I came, just wish I hadn't stayed so long.

People ask me what I do in winter when there’s no baseball. I’ll tell you what I do. I stare out the window and wait for spring.

Um, not so much

except for Kansas, I guess. I shot for the moon with my other 3 applications, knowing full well that I wouldn’t get in any of those places. No, it was pretty much KU Law or nothing for this homer.

Of course, owning a home and having a wife who owns her own local business and having a baby boy had nothing to do with that decision. No…nothing at all…

Well, that sucked.

Here’s a link to a story on Peters.

Sounds like a baller

1st ranked in 8th grade? I understand thats likely just him being one of the tallest prospects in 8th grade, but jeez. Self is rolling em up. I think its safe to say we are seeing the results of a national championship on recruiting.

A ton of coaches will be in Wichita today

checking in on Perry Ellis, including Cal.

It's not that I'm lazy; it's that I just don't care.

Just got lost in their comments...

Thanks for that…

The best was the one comparing Calipari to Rupp, saying Cal is the best coach in the history of the program. Oh, and that everyone talks about Rupp winning in the 40s negatively not because they cheated but because they took all of NY’s glory….I just don’t know where to start.

by PDXJayhawk on Apr 19, 2010 9:45 AM CDT up reply actions  

Calipari will NOT get Ellis.

This cannot happen. I’d rather see him go to KState if need be.

"Here are our top priorities: recruit, beat Missouri, recruit, win the North, recruit, win the Big 12, and in most cases if you win the Big 12 then you're playing for a National Championship. And then we're going to recruit."

What are these "hints" of which you speak, Denver?

I just get the feeling we’re getting set up for a fall on this. Maybe Calipari gets another top recruit for a future class. Trying not to get too worked up about it is all…

Well, that sucked.

by Bensa on Apr 19, 2010 10:16 AM CDT reply actions  

not my hints...

Jayhawkslant writer dropping hints.

Gotcha

I don’t have a subscription over there, so maybe I’m out of the loop. No big deal.

Well, that sucked.

by Bensa on Apr 19, 2010 10:54 AM CDT up reply actions  

not anything major...

just basically indicating that he has a strong feeling the selection will be Kansas. Just based on the fact that those guys have the conversations with these kids, you’d have to believe they’d have the best hunch of anyone.

actually...

it was theshiver dropping the hints. The slant picked it up from them.

by SweedishHamma on Apr 19, 2010 1:14 PM CDT up reply actions  

fair enough....

the Shiver is definitely on top of things in the bball recruiting world. Thanks for the correction Sweedish.

hey denver i really enjoyed the interviews you did for the football prospects at teh junior day earlier in theyear. I was sjust wondering if you will be doingsomething similar to that for the spring game, i know there will be a lot of recruits there

by dester30 on Apr 19, 2010 2:05 PM CDT up reply actions  

always trying to get those when I can...

definitely have contacts with a few of the guys that will be there…sounds like KC’s going to attend so we might even see if we can’t get a little in person talk.

Short answer though…one of my favorite things to do…and I’m always working on those types of contact, interviews and updates.

awesome i can’t wait, I’m going to be at the spring game as well. If u wanna throw a press pass and a video camera my way i will do some interviews for ya!

by dester30 on Apr 19, 2010 2:46 PM CDT up reply actions  

Also...

Can you take down last years football schedule/record? It kills me everytime I see it. We’re in a new era now. Nothing but Bowl games in our future baby! That is unless we don’t win enough games, but in that case, off with Turner Gill’s head! ;-)

by MitchumMan on Apr 19, 2010 3:02 PM CDT up reply actions  

I'll work on it...

should have reset for 2010 by now I would have thought…guess not.

Dan Tapko....

I’ll have something up Friday

by Owen on Apr 19, 2010 7:10 PM CDT up reply actions  

Tapko?

I’ve heard a lot of people say we don’t stand much of a chance with him but he would be a nice get for KU. Projected as a better TE but I think he could play both TE or DE here.

by MitchumMan on Apr 19, 2010 10:42 PM CDT up reply actions  

got an interview today with him...

I think we’re definitely in the mix.

by dester30 on Apr 20, 2010 8:50 AM CDT up reply actions  

it's in the interview. 25 minutes it'll be up.
