  @KUSTEVE The full court press works best against team with average or poor PG such as those in the smaller conferences The major conferences tend to have quality PGs and the 40 minutes of hell does not work as well unless they are caught unprepared. There is a reason you just don’t see that in the NBA, the PGS are just too good. Smart will have to come up with a new gimmick.

  I think recruits are attracted to ISU because of Hoiberg. If you are a high level recruit, why not play in an NBA style system? Hoiberg is one of only a few coaches in the country that truly run NBA style systems. He understands matchups and has the respect of a lot of NBA people. ISU has its disadvantages, but as long as Hoiberg is there, I think they will be a factor in major recruiting battles.

  @oldhwkfan I was glad to hear it wasn’t two separate KU folks with good intentions unknowingly running the price up on each other. As for Duke bidding, good thing they didn’t win out. THANK YOU Mr. Booth and Josh Swade…

  @JayHawkFanToo Oh I totally understand what highlight videos are. I just was attempting to get people excited about the kid. I realize that he only shot about 30% from 3 on average in his international play. But you have to look at some of their scores. His team was pretty bad, so he is shooting some desperation shots just to try and keep his team in the game.

  I think Eubanks will be a Jayhawk. He has been recruited by many high major programs. Known as a confident shooter he will have an maturity edge that Graham came in with because of having to do a post grad year. Now if Vick commits before him then I’m okay with that as well. I prefer Eubanks of the 2 but this is definitely a situation where we could use either.

  @wissoxfan83 If there is cell phone reception then you can turn your phone into a “hot spot” and presto, you have internet. Yes, there is a cost involved but them, all good things in life usually cost…

  @truehawk93 I agree. Given the choice, I much rather have Kevin Young than Cliff Alexander; that is a no brainer for me…

  What better place to gamble than Los Vegas. The way I understand the pay is it will be a calculated based on a players future earning potential. Jerry Meyer was tweeting with someone and said the way it was explained to him was… The team will pay a player the money for a percentage of possible future earnings. So not everyone gets the same pay, but gets paid enough for the owners to profit off their future earnings. This is a one year gamble on kids that will make good money and some will bust and they will lose out… Guess that’s Vegas, everyone trying to get an edge. This time off the backs of 18 year olds with terrible council mostly.

  I saw Billy Gillispie at the BillSelf fantasy camp last month and talked with him, he was a funny jokester, all smiles. I was happy for him. But maybe his recruiting acumen is gone(??) because he was trying to draft me for his camp squad team…or so he told me, lol! (all I can say is I wish I’d gotten a chance to play for his team, as I ended up on a 3-biz-guys-from-carolina driven-team that was zero fun.) I wish Gillispie the best. I still think he’d be a FAR better asst coach + recruiter than “Snacks”. Yes, BillyClyde>>>>Jerrance any day…

  @KUSTEVE Yeah, that should be a good tournament! I think it would be fun to play Wake Forest. Nothing but love for D-Man.
