@Texas-Hawk-10 do you think Vick actually lead? I know Self talked about him preseason, guessing he was leading then.

Did you learn that at a university?

Heard his mom played basketball at Iowa state

@BShark I’m pretty high on Xavier Foster, but if we can get this guy (who I’ve never heard of but seems to be a baller) I would be very happy. Is it just me or has there been a KU recruiting shift, concentrating mostly on four stars rather than a boatload of fives? I think there has been, and I’m all in.

Nope. KU is still recruiting the burger boys as hard as ever.

Charlie is from Chicago

Armstrong didn’t qualify

That’s what I was guessing. Thanks for confirming.

@BeddieKU23 Even if McBride is good, we need another really good guard imo. We have a lot of wings currently.

@dylans ahhh crap!

Added our 8 th commit for the weekend: - Juan Jarrett OLB: 6"2 - - -!90 out of Ohio:

Now I think we all know or should know there are going to be flips/de-commits – lot of time - - a lot of time till early signing, thing is we just got to keep damage control - -keep hitting it -if we lose one have another to take their spot. - -a lot of these to could be a scenario where they were 1st to commit -although having said that I think we hit on most of our primary targets.

the one’s I don’t really want losing is obviously Bryant and Keenan Caldwell

HUGE get - - ( Gilbert Brown ) ?

@HighEliteMajor I’m worried about him specifically. When you start seeing one incident piling up after another, that’s a real big sign of a substance abuse problem. I always felt like JJ played mad, and it makes me wonder if he doesn’t have some emotional issues that are playing out with the drugs and the alcohol.

@kjayhawks Manfred thinks it takes away offense. There’s already enough offense, in between huge number of players striking out. Hard to legislate against that, but he needs to figure that out too.

Not surprising, one of many reasons I only watch ESPN when the hawks are playing on their channels.

I am really looking forward to this season. It is not often where a team has 12 scholarship players and all 12 can play, a good problem to have. It’s going to be interesting to see how it all plays out.

I used to love the Shlockers until greasy haired Cooter Brown and his lush wife took over. And then their wanna-be fanbase started running us down. Wanna-bes…

@Marco LMAO…you’re alright, Coach…

@dylans lol

@KUSTEVE I’ll add to your group there. I don’t see Jalen as a 3 yet. I need to see it play out. We have four terrific perimeter players in Dotson, Moss, Agbaji and Garrett. there are 120 minutes per game there. The math is easy. A fifth guy could get some time. My view is that McBride for appx. 10 is most likely if he’s not overwhelmed. But I don’t know.

But if Self is flexible with his offense, and Wilson is a 4, we could be 4/1 like last season when he’s at the 4 and it’s much the same difference. I’m just not convinced the kid will be a significant minutes guy yet.

Did I mention how much I love this roster? And the competition? Maybe my favorite so far – though 2012’s tight rotation, KY sealing the deal, TT playing great, EJ, Releford, Withey, TRob, and a little Teahan as needed (right Purdue), will be hard to beat.

I’m with you man. We had several things fall our way this off-season, (Dok and Dotson staying, Silvio eligible, landing three point shooters) that I didn’t think would happen. Yeah, Michigan State is going to be good and Kentucky and Louisville will be too but who else has our upside and overall talent? I don’t see one. Just like every year, we’ll probably start slow, look a little rough in November and December, folks will be overly critical and say we’re not good, then Self will have 'em rolling come late February early March. Just like he does most years. Definitely potential to only be a three loss team.

@Kcmatt7 I assumed Charlie would be better, and that Devon would be worse. Devon was much better than I could’ve dreamed of- never seen a freshman point guard come in from Day 1 and play like that.

Look, I hate to say I told you so on both counts…wait I don’t hate to say it at all.
