Why It Is Vital We Land Myles Turner...

That is no-brainer, Davonte Graham.

@Hawk8086 Oh yea, he’s cheesy, but I’ve tried to disrespect him, but what he’s done so far is brilliant. His recruiting is brilliant and strategic. Also, he gets the players to trust him and they do exactly what he wants. This could be good and this could be bad. Love him or hate him, the results are still clear.
Believe me, I hate admitting the obvious too. I can’t keep hating facts. The man is proven until all the NASTY we all THINK has occured comes out. But for now, I can’t keep screaming foul if the foul isn’t revealed.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 This is his challenge. The answer to your question is NO. They will not be happy, but he will figure a way to make it work. They will worship the ground he walks. It’s kinda sick.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 What are you implying?
-
@truehawk93 okie state
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Who?
-
@JayHawkFanToo I was thinking if a kid wanted to back out from Kentucky, would we be interested in any of them. Pure speculation!

Let’s look at uk’s paper trail:
Let’s remove Young and Randle to draft, +2
Remove Polson and Hood as seniors, +2
We can account for 4 slots and they have 4 coming into the program.
No one has to leave at all. But pt is going to be scarce. The two mentioned in the article above will likely ask for a transfer, Lee and WIllis. The very two Calipari says, “We can’t lose…” will be the two that will likely transfer. He can’t get pt to all these top recruits because they all want to play more than Cal is going to allow.

@truehawk93 can’t get that article.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 Kansas had offered that kid back his junior season. But sounds like from the article he’s wanting to stay on the east coast.
-
@HighEliteMajor I didn’t know that. Okie state is really struggling! Gonna miss those match ups from the last 2 years.

I think Coach Self’s devotion to Perry Ellis will prevent Turner from signing with us. He is not going to bench Perry, or move him to the 3, so Turner would have to come off the bench. So, we’re looking at : Naadir/Mason/CF at point guard, Selden/Greene/CF at the 2, Oubre/Greene/White? at the 3, Perry/Jamari at the 4, and Cliffie/Hunter/Lucas at the 5. That’s a really good team, folks. Much more experience than this year. Hopefully, we’ll play much better defense. I can’t wait to see Selden’s breakout this year. It’ll be beautiful.
-
@KUSTEVE don’t forget Embiid came off the bench. I don’t think coaches devotion to Perry will affect turners decision
-
@Crimsonorblue22 We really need a couple of consistently good teams in this conference. It seems like it’s just a rotation of possible contenders.
-
@KUSTEVE I see you listed Tharpe first among the point guards. And then you said “That’s a really good team, folks.”
I wonder if you considered the contradiction there?
-
@HighEliteMajor I think Texas will give us some good games the next 2 years. Hate that ISU won the tourney, we were short-handed, which they later found out that hurts! ISU will give us a good game.
-
@HighEliteMajor Hopefully Frankamp or Mason have a breakout year.
Hopefully it doesn’t take a Tharpe suspension for doing something silly off court (on court is a given) for them to get a chance.
-
@dylans I have this gut feeling that Jayhawk fans are going to be very pleasantly surprised with Frankamp next year.
Or that could be the Mexican food we had last night…
-
Frankamp was more than capable of playing as a Freshman. He just did not get the opportunity. There is no breakout, when the young man can already play. He gives up size on defense. He is a decent defender. His offensive game has always been on point. We need offense, and this young man can deliver. He just needs the opportunity. I wonder if Conner was killing Tharpe in practice and maybe that’s where Tharpe lost his confidence. Not saying that this is what happened, but it could have.
-
@dylans I personally think that the Mason/CF combo will be just fine. My only concern is Tharpe messing it up, to be quite honest. I was very impressed with how CF handled the situations he was placed in.
-
We also need Turner to help balance the post rotations and improve the interior spacing. Perry needs a longer, defensive minded big to play alongside. Rather than Perry-Cliff, it would work much better if we could play Perry with Turner and Cliff with Landen.
-
@HighEliteMajor I like Naadir less than you. You’re alot kinder than I am about him. I think he plays his way onto the bench, like last year. I think Mason will be a dynamo, but I think Francamp will end up being our saving grace. What I saw at the end of that Stanford game tells me we’ve got a true star, a real leader just sitting there, waiting for the right time. And I think that time comes this year.
-
I love the Frankamp stat where he had like 100+ minutes played without a turnover at the end of the season. I will be excited if he gets more playing time just so that we don’t see as many turnovers. Not sure if this is a good way to thing about it, but if a player makes 2-3 less turnovers per game, and assuming the other teams scores 1 PPP, you should give them a +3 for the game and should help make up for defensive deficiencies on their end.
-
@KUSTEVE Well, then, we are clearly on the same page.
-
@truehawk93 WOW! That kid is GooooooD. Scary good. I hope we can get him too. He is a guard in a footers body. can do everything. Can play and guard all 5 spots, it looks like.
