Jayhawks in the pros
-
@wissox Great rundown. I just wish Josh Jackson hadn’t thrown it all away. Anyone remember when we were so optimistic that his car-keying episode was an aberration?
-
Is Josh playing anywhere right now?
-
@Woodrow I can’t find him listed anywhere. Last thing I see is him being waived by the Stockton Kings https://stockton.gleague.nba.com/news/stockton-kings-acquire-jericole-hellems-2

That sucks. He was a good baller. Didn’t even make a second contract. Legal problems? Seems like maybe he got in some trouble.
-
Josh was part of a recruiting era of Bill Selfs that seemed to find talented with baggage type guys. Seemingly he’s turned the corner from that

Anger issues and drugs

How does Cooper flag stack up against Wemby, Lebron, Embiid? Is the hype just Duke bluster?

@BShark If I recall correctly: Arrested in 2023 for alleged sexual assault involving someone who left a party, got called back to his place, fell asleep, woke up naked…etc. Dunno how it turned out. No updates I could find.
-
Interestingly today I listened to the Jayhawker podcast on IHeart and Bill Self mentioned Josh Jackson. Just gushed about all of his talent.
I failed to mention in my player update that so far Johnny Furphy and I are tied in total points scored in NBA…0. He does have two rebounds in 3 games. Not sure who we wouldn’t currently have if Johnny stayed in college but I wish he had.

Technically, now ALL Jayhawks are in the Pros, thanks to NIL

There are 125 overseas high level D1 players 6’9" or over currently on rosters. Recruiters look for big guys who can shoot from outside, dribble and pass because US recruits are not as skilled. There are 1.68 players per high level D1 teams and the same for mid level programs. Most of these players know they will not be NBA players but come for the education degrees. Gonzaga has had the same assistant coach/recruiter for 17 years and that’s how they have continued as a top program. Some players may start in JUCO’s and the facilities etc over here are at another level. The coaches in the EURO programs are considered excellent overall. Serbia is by far the largest contributing country as BB is almost a religion there.
