On the other hand, he could play at a doormat school in a middling conference, in a program that has a revolving door at head coach and where he isn't going to have any of the advantages that a major football program would provide in terms of the talent around him on the field and on the sideline. Unless you have eligibility problems or you don't think you can win enough playing time at a bigtime school, and you think you can start at Kansas, there's no advantage to be had at all.

How could someone advise their son or daughter to make that decision?

The recruits ku has gotten since the fluke BCS win prove that you aren't the only one who thinks that way. Just absolute garbage for a Power 5 school.

The next kid can choose to play in the SEC knowing that he will get every benefit if the doubt on draft day or play in a lesser league where all-pro talent barely gets you a camp invite because you're playing against a bunch of players who couldn't get into a real conference.

If you want to get paid & play in the NFL then you play in the SEC.

The Big 12 lags WAY BEHIND The SEC and the rest of the major conferences in terms of players picked and first round picks. There are only two possible factors.

1. There is significantly less talent in the Big 12

2. NFL teams discount production of players in the Big 12 in favor of players from other conferences.

I'm saying it's a combination of both that creates a self-sustaining cycle. The Big 12 has inferior talent. Their reputation has caused their actual talented players to go unrecognized. This leads to talented players looking to play elsewhere...which reinforces the reputation, and the cycle perpetuates itself.

This is a very good summation of why Mizzou football always gets creamed when they play good programs. Self-perpetuating.

The tears taste so good.

And KU still lands more pro-bowlers.

But hey...talent.

Weird,

seems players got picked form all over the place.

But you know, the experts are right here, on CP.

[Bambi]

Currently 10 players from KU (2014) have, or will have, NFL contracts.

7 players from MU (2014) have, or will have, NFL contracts.

If you count transfers the number for KU jumps to 11 and the number for MU jumps to 8.

Let the games begin.

[Bambi]

on the NBA side:

Kansas

Andrew Wiggins 16.9ppg (NBA Rookie of the Year) (Drafted Overall #1)
Joel Embiid (DNP Due to Injury) (Drafted #3)
Tarik Black 6.0ppg (Undrafted)

Mizzou

Jordan Clarkson 11.9ppg (2nd in the NBA in scoring amongst rookies) (Drafted #46)
Jabari Brown (Played but did not qualify in scoring) (Undrafted)

Let's all just take a moment and get a clear look at what's going on here. KU fan has nothing on Mizzou fan in the present day, so KU fan turns the clock back years if not decades to try to get any kind of a one-up on Mizzou fan.

KU fan doing what KU fan does best - live in the past.

Would you like to wager on how many from each school make opening day rosters?

It's easy to lie when you're anonymous. it's easy to toss out bullshit when you kow it's not going to really affect you. But when it comes down to it, you don't even believe the horseshit you are saying, and won't back it up.

Coward.
