New risk in recruiting.

This makes less than zero sense to me. KJ is a good player, but he's not his dad. And he can't possibly be doing this because his family needs the money. I guess he just doesn't want to go to school, but then why did he attend Sierra Canyon? It's my understanding that they don't exactly coddle their athletes.

If he didn't want to go to school, why pick Vanderbilt on the first go-round?

Lok Wur, I saw his name pop up in a few recent tweets as he apparently just qualified academically and decommited from Juco. I don’t know if he played AAU but this clip package is extremely impressive to me. Looks like under the radar gem and he’s racking up offers in the last few days. Very intriguing.

I'm sold. If the scholarship is going to be available, I'd say use it. Between incoming xfers that don't cost you a spot & more player movement than ever before, I don't see any reason to sit on schollies these days.
And this kid's not a total flier. He's ranked right around where Mac, Grayson, Wilson, and Gardner were/are.

Am I correct in that there is no scholarship available for him at this time? Unless there is something going on that no one on here knows about I can't see how the Hoyas can land this player. He is a very exciting and explosive player, and I don't think he is coming as a walk on, so I am not sure what to make of this. Did he have a recent official visit?

I'm also a little confused. He has an offer but there's no scholarship - so presumably the staff knows someone is leaving or their scholarship won't be renewed (and they may or may not know that)?
Also, what's his timeline and what's he waiting for to announce?

If we are still recruiting ‘19 kids, I wouldn’t worry about the perceived lack of scholarships. Recruiting is now musical chairs- operate accordingly.

So any idea what he's waiting for? Any timeline on a decision? Certainly seems to be quite skilled and athletic and fit the mold PE is looking for

Loooong time lurker but stopped posting a long time ago...
Someone has to be able to sleuth this, right? Feels like a) it's awfully late in the game for a transfer to not be in the portal and b) Glover's got to be holding off on committing for news from a school, right?
What frosh have been seen on campus versus not? If someone isn't cleared academically or due to some other reason (thinking Tim - always potential complications on clearing founded or not), if they had to sit for a year would that free up a spot? Doesn't seem likely to be a recurring guy so would have to be one of the new ones?

I wouldn't get too hyped up about it until you see visits being planned, get word someone is transferring, or hear someone is not coming.
You don't want to get caught flat footed, and the kid clearly has talent. That's just good strategy when it comes to recruiting.
I think he ends up at St Johns, but there are some rumors Georgetown is his preference. Not sure of the accuracy of those rumors, and the St Johns part is just a gut feeling.

Does anyone know if there are other photo shopped images of him in other schools' uniforms on social media? This has been a really different recruiting process for this player and and I am not really sure who else he is considering. I don't see how he signs with the Hoyas at this point, seeing how there does not seem to be a scholarship available, but he is a really interesting athlete.

He also posted one of him in a SJU uniform. He also continues to mention that the schools he is considering are "Georgia, Wake Forest, St. John's, Oregon, Georgetown, Texas A&M, Portland"
