Their two younger brothers are highly rated and their cousin is the #8 overall player:

quote:

DJ Jeffries

Recruitment: Offers from Kansas, Kentucky, Texas A&M, Ole Miss, Iowa State, Mississippi State, Wake Forest and Memphis.

His day: Playing for a new squad in Team Penny, Jeffries fit in nicely with a group that is deep and super athletic. He played above the rim, put the ball on the floor some and showed off incredible physical tools.

Quotable: "I haven't thought too much about my recruitment. Maybe at the end of the summer I will have a top list."

Prediction: Jeffries doesn't appear too focused on his recruitment yet but with his kind of talent he looks like one that the bluebloods will fight over.

They have had 5 guys transfer so far, with one more expected. They only had 3 guys show up to a mandatory team workout last week. Now Markel Crawford tells ESPN he will use Graduate Transfer rule to play for another school.

At this point I think goons should just walk on.

I didn't say his postseason record was bad, just that it could be better with a few more upperclassmen. It's a scary concept.

Winning championships is hard, we've all said that a lot. Winning championships with a lot of super talented freshmen is in my opinion harder and the ADavis team is looking like it is proving the outlier more than the norm.

I would never say that Kentucky should have won more than one championship with all that talent because like I said winning championships is hard. It is my personal belief that the more successful alchemy of a championship winning team has elements of both super talented freshmen and upperclassmen anchors.

http://www.espn.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/203733/marvin-bagley-iii

quote:

Strengths:
Bagley has emerged as one of if not the best high school prospect in the game. At 6'11 with multi-dimensional skills and blessed elite athletic ability he impacts the game on both ends of the floor. His soft shooting touch, scoring instincts and ball handing ability make him unique at his size. He is comfortable to knock down a face up jumper to the arc and operates best from the high post or along the baseline. His ability to attack with fluidness and length is hard for opposing big men to stop. He will go into the low post and utilize his jump hook or settle in to the mid-post and back down or face up smaller defenders and shoot over them. He is running the floor with more effort and his long strides with speed are impressive. His activity on the glass and how he alters and or blocks shots have been evident. He has taken his talent from potential to production but the scary thing is there is still plenty of upside in his ability.

Weaknesses:
Bagley has eliminated some of the talk of disappearing at times during the game and losing his assertiveness. It's important to note he must keep his drive for improvement and not be satisfied with his status. He must guard his heart and mind in regards to becoming bored with the game as happens with some of the gifted athletes. As long as he displays teachable spirit to grow his game and make others better he will always be a game changer. He also needs to add strength which will enhance his offensive finish game, post-up game and overall defensive productivity. He must develop and keep an edge on the court that make the great players the best.

Bottom Line:
His size, length and versatility is the way the NBA game is being played. What would make him reach his enormous potential and project out as a one of the best we have seen in a decade would be his continued work ethic and attention to defensive details. With effort he should record a double-double and flirt with a triple-double each game because he is that good. A remarkable set of skills and scoring instincts at a young age who is now starting to grow into his body.

Of course these rankings change hilariously based on questionable motives. Like a four star will pick North Carolina and then the next ranking update comes around and oh hey wouldn't you know it that player is now a five star because basically a lot of these bigger programs evaluate talent better than an online journalist.

The ESPN ranking system is a little different than Scout or Rivals, they evaluate talent based on how they will perform as an NBA player as opposed to a college player. As an NBA fan that may be the one you want to pay the most attention to.

And of course they could all be wrong about a player, like Cliff Alexander. In that case stick to what MourningView thinks, he can sniff out the turds better than most.

congrats MU fans.

KU trying to keep up news-wise as Mitchell Robinson is visiting this weekend but he's never going to get a waiver so it's kind of pointless. Look for him in Australia or Greece this season.

# ¿ Aug 10, 2017 19:20

Well here's a new wrinkle...

Apparently Mitchell Robinson's enrollment paperwork is not processed even though he attended some summer school classes. I guess the Dean could just deny enrollment automatically making Robinson a decommit instead of a transfer.

That Dean is...former KU vice chancellor Tim Caboni.

If KU somehow lands this guy they will trot out two NBA-caliber 7-footers this year. Their guards playing without a big scored 118 against the Italian all stars last week.

Also there was a nugget that I somehow didn't know in the Pitino that in his adultery/mistress extortion case- Pitino sent a university-employed aid to get the woman an abortion, and the aid and the woman ended up falling in love and getting married after the abortion. Why isn't there a Lifetime movie about this already?

I was about to start listing basketball movies with puns about abortions but I got as far as Scoop Dreams before I questioned what I�m doing with my life right now

You should probably read the article, there is no new information.

quote:

The presence of documents responsive to the Kansan�s request, filed on Sept. 27, does not necessarily implicate the University in wrongdoing, but appears to contradict what Kansas Athletics officials said after the scandal broke.

The Kansan asked for �all documents and communications within this investigation related to the University of Kansas and any of its sponsorship deals with Adidas or any investigation of Kansas basketball coaches.�

When a sophomore rings up the FBI and requests all information relating to Kansas and gets the response

quote:

�The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information in these responsive records could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings

You don't write "Breaking News" unless of course you're a journalism student working for a student newspaper.

quote:

Later in the letter, FBI Section Chief David M. Hardy states, �This is a standard notification that is given to all our requesters and should not be taken as an indication that excluded records do, or do not, exist.�

If I call up the FBI and ask them to provide documentation about their investigation into MCC Penn Valley basketball program their response will be

"�The records responsive to your request are law enforcement records; there is a pending or prospective law enforcement proceeding relevant to these responsive records, and release of the information in these responsive records could reasonably be expected to interfere with enforcement proceedings"

But Kansas is definitely guilty of something. Just what it is or if it will ever get uncovered will have to wait for another day. So just keep hanging on, Missouri. Some day.
