Hate the title of the article, though.
The 2019 class is just coming into focus, but trends are already developing in terms of where prospects are leaning and the targets of various schools. After the two live recruiting periods in April, one can start tracking which prospects coaches are watching and in which areas schools are putting most of their time and energy. Things are bound to change, but here is how some of the top programs are lining up their 2019 classes.
Kansas
It's unclear how many scholarships Bill Self and Kansas will have to use in 2019. There's a chance Dedric Lawson, who sat out this season after transferring from Memphis, and incoming five-star guard Quentin Grimes play only one season in Lawrence. On the other hand, Lawson is likely the lone senior on the roster.
Chicago point guard Markese Jacobs is the lone commit in 2019 so far. The Jayhawks are considered the favorite for a couple of highly touted frontcourt recruits: five-star Matthew Hurt and ESPN 60 power forward Jeremiah Robinson-Earl. Provided the Lawson brothers, Dedric and K.J. Lawson, stay at Kansas, the Jayhawks could also be in the lead for five-star forward and younger brother Chandler Lawson.
Kansas has also been a mainstay in the recruitments of five-star guard Josh Green and ESPN 60 in-state prospect Zach Harvey. Other names to monitor: Samuell Williamson, Jalen Wilson, Malik Hall and Tre Mann.
Kansas has also been spotted keeping an eye on elite prospects James Wiseman and Charles Bassey.
