2016 PF/C Mitch Lightfoot -> Kansas

[The Coach]

 

Welp, see ya later!

[hskr4life]

Really... KU........... Really?

[ShortDust]

We will have to see the power of bakari. Just have to play the waiting game now.

[Silverbacked1]

New Mexico has to be really upset, he was in the fold and he must be something if KU has jumped,on the wagon.

[hhcmatt]

FWIW inbetween finding out his family is from KC and the Kansas offer I feel like we have a slightly better slim chance of landing him than before.

[Silverbacked1]

oh yeah I also threw up,in my mouth a little.

Vandy also in mix

[ShortDust]

So dimes you think we have a better shot that his family is from kc? Confused

Yeah...I figured he was going to stay in the south/Pac-12 area.

Having family in KC makes me think he would at least consider coming to Nebraska.

When I say better shot, that doesn't mean I think we have a great shot.

[AuroranHusker]

Bakari & Mitch have the bro factor going.... here's to hoping.  There's still at least 6+ months in play for Nebraska's latest player to convince his brotha from anotha motha to work his magic.

 

Don't they have 5-stars begging to play at KU... Why ya gotta be taking our Buzz???

[ShortDust]

And they join the mix....

[hskr4life]

And they join the mix....

 

Always a step behind.  Kind of reminds me of when I would get a Christmas present, or even ask for something for Christmas, my little brother would always want one too.

[Norm Peterson]

And they join the mix....

They figured, well, if he's good enough for Kansas ...

Guys, guys...

 

You should know better than that.  Creighton's been in on him longer than anybody, guaranteed.  Everybody knows that!

 

 

 

 

 

(but kidding aside, it's actually true that they've been pursuing him for a while now apparently...)

And so they wait until AFTER KU offers to extend an offer themselves.  I think that's a brilliant strategy.

 

OK, maybe not.

They were on him July of 2014.

I noticed it when Bakari first made his tweet after ML de-committed.

Here's what they have to say about Lightfoot over at Phog.net  http://kansas.scout.com/forums/2481-hoops-talk/13819433-mitch-lightfoot-offered

[Silverbacked1]

I would say they the fans don't want him. So we would take him off your hands so you won't be embressed by taking him and giving K Sucks something to make more fun of you.

We are willing to bite that bullet.

[49r]

Yeah, kind of interesting perspective, eh Silver?

They prolly looked at his Rivals profile and think he's only 6'7". 

[Silverbacked1]

And he is thin, veryyyyyyy ttttthhhhiiiiinnnnn.

[TheKamdyMan]

Looks like U Arizona threw their hat in today. He's blowing up. It was already tough but beating the powerhouse in state school will be extremely tough.

Is the actually from Arizona or just going to school for basketball there?
