Great pickup. Welcome Jalen.

If the Grimes experience has shown us, highly touted recruits don't always pan out, but now we've got at least 2 guys who can shoot, depth in the post, and a fantastic point guard.

We are officially LOADED.

One ride left for next year, who will it be?

Hold for Walker?
Bring on a project like Wur?
Hold for next year? (Not really needed given the projected losses after this season).
I've read Bilau has decided not to visit KU, so...

May I join the bandwagon? Things look a great deal brighter than they did about a month ago. On paper, anyway, this is an incredibly deep team now. And talented. I expect Agbaji to blossom and Silvio to have a monster year. Then there's Dok and Dotson and Garrett and McCormack and the newbies and...yeah, I am liking this a lot!

I have a much better feeling with this current crop of kids, and especially not having a OAD player. It feels like a "team" is being formed, not a six month audition for the draft for a OAD 18 year old and his handlers.

Jalen's mom Lisa on coming to KU. Lisa Wilson on Jalen to KU

It looks like this story is publicly accessible, but in case I'm wrong the high points are:

After the UNC visit they made a pros-and-cons sheet, then went over every detail, and they knew.

They hope Jalen will be on campus this weekend.

ROCK CHALK!
