Kansas Jayhawks Basketball: Top five recruiting targets for 2019

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl

Jeremiah Robinson-Earl is 6’9″ power forward from Mission, Kansas. Jeremiah is the 19th overall ranked player and is ranked 4th among point guards.

Robinson-Earl has Jayhawk blood running through his veins as his father, Lester Earl once played for the Kansas Jayhawks. His father was quite the player in his day as well.

Jeremiah is as close to a sure thing as there can be. Literally, all signs point to him becoming a Jayhawk. His stock is rising fast after a solid spring performance as he jumped nine spots from number 28 to number 19 according to 247sports.

Bill Self may be focusing on playing bigger in the near future, despite playing small ball for the past couple seasons. 2018 will feature multiple big men, changing the style of play for Kansas from their Final Four run in 2018 playing with four guards primarily at all times.

Jeremiah attacks the rim with authority as well as attacking those who try their hand at driving to the basket. He’s a solid interior presence with great footwork and smooth moves on the offensive side of the ball.

He could be compared to a young Brandon Rush without the range. His mid-range shot has gotten much better over the winter, so he is still developing his game. If he continues to improve, he will have more and more offers on the table to go along with the number of text messages from coaches showing interest. He has Kansas basketball at the top of his list.
