Ellis to Trim List by Christmas

Perry Ellis, the No. 6 power forward in the Class of 2012, is looking to cut his list to five or six, according to his mother, Fonda Ellis.

“He is looking to trim his list for Christmas,” she said by text.

The 6-foot-8, 224-pound Perry is currently considering Memphis, Kansas, Kansas State, Oklahoma, Kentucky, Texas A&M, North Carolina, Wake Forest, Iowa, Stanford and Wichita State.

“Georgetown and UCLA are just getting involved,” Fonda said.

UCLA came to watch him practice Monday night in advance of Thursday’s game at Kansas.

Kansas (Friday), Kansas State (Tuesday) and Oklahoma (Tuesday) are also expected in soon.

  • Good Stuff AZ.

    Lets see how Kansas Gangster U does with this recruit.

    So far, Kansas Gangster U did horrible with 2011 recruiting.

    Look forward to 2011 news and an early 2012 Christmas gift from the bay area.

  • Hey jw, how you like Thomas Robinson taking care of your az cats in Vegas? LOL He is a beast huh? Stay tuned…more to come.

    Hopefully Perry Ellis doesn’t make the same mistake Harrison Barnes did, bet he is second guessing his choice on unc now.

  • JW, I was hoping that KU taking care of your Mildcats might humble you just a bit. I guess not. You better pray you get Chol because when Williams goes pro after this year (and he will) UA looks pretty friggin’ thin up front.

  • jessie jessie,

    get a clue! you knock ku all the time and all they do is continue to win year in and year out.

  • i was surprised at how dumb of a basketball team zona is. just so many bad decisions made by multiple guys. is that miller’s influence or does he just recruit low bball IQ guys? cant be optimistic.

    good thing for miller they wont see another ranked team all year other the UW or else miller would get exposed again.

  • All this talk from the Kansas Gangster U boyz.
    LMAO…

    You Jayhawks were not in Vegas right.

    Did you see those WEAK SAUCE calls on D-Will.

    D -Will OWNED your bigs, all three of them.

    I hope these two meet again.

    Bottom line- The refs helpes those weak sauce Hawks.

  • AZ,

    The Jayhawks boyz have finally came out, from under the rocks…

    The Jayhawk recruiting for 2011 class has been HORRIBLE.
    Has anybody signed??

    I guess Grant Jerrett is not a top20 player…Oops, that is a 2012 recruit.

    Did you also say something about Brandon Ashley?
    Twin Towers.

    ps-
    The recruiting battle is for CHOL? in 2011 class.

    Will Kansas get TURNERed again.

  • JW,

    You keep coming back to recruiting, but the fact is KU got the win on Saturday night. I hope these two teams meet again, as well. Next time, KU will have Selby on the floor … game won’t even be close!

  • Jessie,

    What is it about the Jayhawks that scares you so much?

    Why are you so obsessed with KU that you feel the need to slander them with your ridiculous “Kansas Gangster U” phrase in countless posts?

    Is this seriously your life? Trolling ZagsBlog, disparaging Kansas likes it’s your job?

    As for Saturday’s game, Kansas beat Zona pure and simple. You can talk about the refs, you can talk about recruiting, but that doesn’t change the fact that your team lost in the most recent game played between our two schools.

    Hang up the act, friend. All you’re doing is making Arizona look like it has classless fans.

  • At first I wanted to say stop responding to JW but Im guilty too. Az will be back in time lets face it. Miller is a good coach. No offense to “REal” Az fans but, we did win it got close, they have one future NBA star once again we won so lets move on. Turner yeah it sucked but oh well thats the beauty of Kansas, we don’t fall off plain and simple. One class isn’t gonna stop the 2nd winniingest team in college basketball history. Need I say more. Also Chol, McLemore, Daniels, and now Guerro are all possibilities. Dont count out Self weren’t we saying this last year when he got some kid named “Selby”, hmmmm.

  • Scoreboard.

  • Message to Kansas Gangster U…

    “We got out that nasty taste in our mouth that we had against Kansas,” UA guard MoMo Jones said.
    ROBBED. WEAK SAUCE calls.

    “That’s what tough teams do. This was our first road game and we were just trying to send a statement.”perAZstar.

    Note:
    Rice59, Texas62 , AT TEXAS (texas escapes,11/27)
    Rice57, ARIZONA 84, AT RICE. (Beat Down, 12/1)

  • Message 2- to Kansas Gangster U

    FEAR the Cat. Wildcat RISING.

    “We had only three players who weren’t scared to play Arizona,”…
    “That was the main reason we lost this game by 30 points. We can’t go out there scared. … There was something wrong.”…

    “…sweet for the Wildcats, who appeared a little miffed that Kansas had more than three times as many fans as they did last weekend in Las Vegas.”perAZstarnet
    So, how did Kansas Gangster U steal those seat from the Arizona fans??

    Kansas needed everything possible to beat Arizona.
    Weak Sauce Refs. Stealing AZ tickets…lol

    ps- WE know the FOUR Kansas Bigs were SCARED of Natiaonal Player of the Year Derrick Williams.
    D-Will OWNED them .

    Man vs Four Boyz.

  • jessie jessie,

    who won? again who won? your team loses and your arguement is fouls? ha! get a clue! if you base your team’s success off 1 player it will be a very long year for you. check out this photo, i think you’ll enjoy it. http://www2.kusports.com/photos/galleries/2010/nov/27/ku-basketball-vs-arizona/77846/

  • jw,

    I bet the arrival of Colorado to the Pac will give Az. trouble, because CU has been beat by the rough n rugged Big 12. Far more phsical than the Pac 10.

    And I already know The Running Utes will run you off the court. LOL Shouldn’t matter to you though, because the refs always win. (According to you anyway.) You will always have an excuses.

    How you like that photo of T.Rob? Got owned son!

  • Weak sauce would be dropping a Momo quote. He sucks. All you showed KU was Williams & Fagg. Book’s recruits are weak: Momo and Parrom have no game.

    Scoreboard.
