Do you guys think Frank Jackson will be back next year for Duke? If so, I could see Duval picking KU over Duke if Graham leaves. I bet he’s waiting to see what Graham and Franks decision is before he commits somewhere.

I don’t know why so many people are assuming Graham and Svi will be back. I certainly hope they return, but I am not optimistic. I have know idea what Graham will do. I don’t think Svi will return, which is fine. We mainly need Graham to return.

He chose OU.

@BeddieKU23 Has Self been in contact with these players or is this just a list of players he could reach out to if he wanted to? Wouldn’t they have to sit out next year if they transferred to KU at this point in the year?

@dylans I think it’s because our CB prediction has gone from 58% to 12% within the last 10 hours or so. Seems like some info leaked about his decision.

@Crimsonorblue22 I had the same thought about him wanting to get away from home. Even his mom said that she is worried about his development as a man if he stayed in Oklahoma. He needs to learn to be independent. Time to cut the umbilical cord.

@Kcmatt7 I think our record would be similar to our 2013 and 2014 seasons (25-10 and 27-9).

@Kcmatt7 Yeah, I know we’ve had worse players. When I said it would be one of the worst teams we’ve had in a while, I was referring to the past few (3-5) seasons.

If I were Trae Young, I would be really nervous to pick OU. They already have a solid PG this year in Woodard (although he is injured now) and they are still really bad. Does he really believe that he will make more of an impact in his freshman year than Woodard?

I don’t think the ship would necessarily sink… We have too many good players outside of the PG position for it to completely sink. That being said, it would be one of the worst teams we’ve had in a while and we wouldn’t even be a top 15 team imo.

@Crimsonorblue22 I can’t imagine it would only be students there. Oklahoma fans have been waiting a long time for him to make the decision and I wouldn’t be surprised if the school let outside fans attend.

@joeloveshawks But at this point, we might not have any other options at the point guard position and I really don’t think Young would be a bust like Selby was. Even if we are forced to use Newman as our PG, we would then be short handed at one of the other guard positions. Garrett is not ready to be a starter or to play heavy minutes. Cunliffe would start for us in the second half of the season if Young doesn’t pick us and both Graham and Svi doesn’t return.

@JayHawkFanToo That’s one of the main reasons why I think he is picking OU. I don’t know why he would want to announce disappointing news (for them) in front of all the locals when he could just do it privately. It seems like he is wanting to celebrate with them. It wouldn’t be much of a celebration if he was picking KU.

@JayHawkFanToo There are a couple of different ways you could look at it. It would make the most since for him to break the bad news to the other two schools before calling the school that he’s choosing. He also may have wanted to announce some good news in between announcing the bad news. I could also see him calling the school he picked first before breaking the bad news to the other two schools. However, I think we can rule that one out since he called OSU first. I’m not looking too much into it. Who knows why he called the schools in that order.

Do high school players always announce their decision at their high school? I know a couple of my classmates did when I was in high school. I wouldn’t think he would want to make the announcement in front of a bunch of Oklahoma locals if he was picking KU… Probably wouldn’t get a very good response from them. I would think he would use a different method like twitter if he was picking KU. Just my opinion.

@Crimsonorblue22 I would understand if he was waiting until March to see if Graham stays or leaves. But I agree that if he does end up picking OU, it’s strange that it took him this long for him to announce it. Nothing has changed for several months with the pros and cons. Neither coach has sent very many PG’s to the NBA. With OU, he gets to stay home and play in front of friends and family. With KU, he will still be pretty close to home and get to play for a winning program along with many other smaller benefits. It’s a big decision, though, so I definitely don’t blame him for taking his time. I’m sure he was really struggling with the decision. It’s not easy to turn down an opportunity like being the starting point guard for KU.

@BeddieKU23 Do you know this for a fact or are you just speculating? Just curious. I don’t think he is picking KU either.

It looks like Jerry Meyer switched to OU and some of the others followed him. It’s really just one person switching teams… Probably not as bad as it looks. Hopefully whatever inside info Meyer has isn’t legit.

That seems like a really stupid rule… what’s the point of that?

@jayballer54 Well that sucks. I agree with you that some news must have leaked. We went from 58% to 38% within one hour. Looks like Newman will be our PG next year.

I wouldn’t be surprised if we got a transfer to play PG for us next year if both Young and Duval pass up on us. It’s an attractive opportunity to be the starting PG at KU and someone is going to be willing to change schools to get it. Hopefully it won’t come down to that, though.
