@DaveTelep: Reports out of Jordan Game on Joel Embiid are glowing. Did so well he was added to International Hoop Summit team. (ESPN's No. 2 center)

Angel Goodrich gets drafted in the third round of the WNBA draft by Tulsa. Congrats to her!
|
Bill Self will meet with Wiggins next Tuesday, Roy Williams will meet with Wiggins before that on Monday. UK met with him a couple weeks ago, FSU has yet to schedule visit. Schools making one final push to land him.
|
Our recruiting class is pretty ridiculous as is...
Add Wiggins and this becomes Bill's best incoming class, if it isn't already. |

Ben and Traylor were red shirts. Perry was really the highlight of the recruiting class last season. |

There's rumblings going around that he's meeting with them to tell them that he's going to UK.

The way Wiggins speaks in interviews makes me 99.999% certain he is UK-bound.
Would be great to have him hear...but Self lands 1 out of ever 10 of these kids. Cal gets the other 9. Regardless, we will still have a damn good class coming in. Selden and Embiid graded out as 5 star recruits in the final McDonald rankings. :KU: |
Marcus Smart returning for sophomore year.

Who else is returning to OSU? Were Nash and Brown seniors...?
With Smart returning...I think you have to bump OSU towards the top of the B12. Everyone else is will be down next season. |
Marcus Smart returning seriously makes no sense at all. That's a ton of money he's giving up considering he's basically a guaranteed top 5 pick in this draft. But whatever, KU's going to have their biggest threat to their B12 title in years from OSU now. Should make it a fun year to see if they can do it.
|
As Bilas was saying, the NBA isn't patient with these kids. They expect quick results. That's why a lot of these guys "disappear" as he said after a couple years. If money, a quick retirement and a shorter career than Vanilla Ice is the plan then go. He compared it to some people that win the lottery then are broke a year or so later.
I applaud Smart. |

But I don't know man. If he blows out his knee and doesn't get a shot at the league, I'd take a Vanilla Ice career. |
Quote:
But it will be good for the Big12 to have a power team... other than OSU now everyone elses team will be mostly unknown and probably a few surprises... but early looks like a real down year. |
College Gameday will be in pokeland and Lawrence next year. I bet one will be the last game of conference play. You thirsty, OKSt? Well come get something to drink. Challenge accepted.

Jack Harry just pee'd himself with excitement. He's now the biggest Cowboy fan out there... well at least for a year.

Just replay the Kevin Ware injury a few times, and that oughta convince anyone to go pro. Don't have any idea why he's returning. |

@JayhawkSlant: @Tyusjones06, the No. 3 ranked player in the 2014 class, will conduct an in-home visit with Kansas on Tuesday. Shay #kubball
|
@JayhawkSlant: Talked to @jahprobound, top player in 2014. He's conducting an in home visit with KU on April 22. Shay #kubball.
Also visiting with Duke and Michigan State that week. |
Looks like recruiting is back on an upswing after missing on several targets the last few years.

I need my tweet from some ****ing guy nobody knows about re: Wiggins fix please.

Quote:
The Nike Hoops Summit was tonight, Embiid and Wiggins were on the same team. In that tweet he's pretty much saying come to KU, Andrew. |
Quote:
Even the guys who haven't even set foot on the court seem to be #FOE. If Wiggins joins that's great. But with him or without him we're gonna have a hell of a team next year... |

Any clue what day Wiggins is meeting with which coach these next couple of days?
|
Yeah, he's canceling the meetings.

Wiggins canceled his visits because he's stuck at the airport and fatigue. He'll still meet with the teams from his home on the phone.
Translation: Cal and WWW's check cleared so **** all y'all other schools. |

Wiggins to UK just doesn't make sense. But it'll prolly happen.

They just have so much there already. He will prolly go there, but someone will end up leaving.

@JayhawkTalk: From Self's in-home with Okafor tonight. #kubball RT @jahprobound: My Pops and coach Self think they cool. Haha http://t.co/iQSiP7Sur4

That's kinda funny.

that kid is definitely going to UK

he'll still go there

@WayneSeldenJr: @jahprobound 👌👌 yessir
@b_greene14: @jahprobound idk about pops... But ole dude on the right is legit 😜👌👏 Greene and Selden are recruiting him too lol. Love those kids. |
Hunter Mickelson is transferring from Arkansas to KU.
Should be eligible in 2014-2015. |
KU is also courting Tarik Black from Memphis who recently graduated is eligible to play right away.
|
Okafor would be a heck of a get for you guys
|

Tyus Jones, maybe? |

He also did okay in a perimeter oriented offense. I like a center who comes off the bench to be a defensive presence and rebound. |
This says a lot about what Self thinks of Landen and Traylor.

The best part is that Mickelson would sit for a year and practice. He would also have a straight year with Hudy to get into KU shape.
By the time he hits Naismith court, he shouldn't even resemble the kid he was as a freshman at Arkansas. |
Quote:
Now, KU has another transfer target that is a good possibility on top of Mickelson. Trevor Lacey who Self wanted badly back in 2011 is transfering from Alabama. The kid is reportedly wanting to come to KU by a number of sources. Add Black from Memphis and that would be quite a transfer haul in one offseason. Black would be able to play immediately - Mickelson\Lacey would have to sit out a year and then both have 2 to play for KU. Pure speculation, but it's nice to have options when you have multiple schollies in the pocket. |
Quote:
I think it's good. Give the kid a year and half of Hudy, plus a year of practice and he'll make a solid contribution. I'd say have him workout with the volleyball team, too. :thumb: |

Good God... I looked up his picture and thought I'd been Rick-rolled.

See all the good responses to my point that were below yours? See how your's is the only one that sucked balls, that added exactly zero to the discussion and no plausible explanations? See? |
