Great thread, HEM.

Is there pro hoops in Japan? I’m pretty sure. Lucas is fluent in Japanese (or close to fluent) having lived there growing up. Pro ball Japan isn’t a bad fall back option. I know the ladies there will dig him.

As for recent transfers…Doyle is tearing it up for Loyola. Merv isn’t doing much for New Mexico. Royce Woolridge is getting mad minutes for Wazzou but his A/TO isn’t that hot so far. Not sure about Adams.

If they’ve graduated after their 4th year Traylor, Lucas and Hunter could each transfer out for their “senior”/5th year without having to sit. It’s a good fall back position and they can cling to that if they are nervous during years 2-3, and it makes leaving between their 3rd and 4th years totally pointless. Correct me if I’m wrong about this.

40-0. I’m the first to call it? Book it!

HEM, I totally agree with you re: Frankamp’s possible redshirt.

However, it would be 2017-18. Please don’t make the years go by any faster than they already are!

I think it was for money. Somehow fb IDs translate into ad pennies.

I would have paid for ljw KU content.

Little too early for transfer talk. I believe all are keepers. No one-and-flushers on this team.

I don’t think he’s a lock as a OAD. But after Selden’s commitment I thought he would be here for two years and that now seems less than likely.

Well-spoken, likes his ego stroked, ends his interview with “Rock Chalk Jayhawk”… works for me.

As far as recruiting for this/next year… I think there is zero chance that we only get Oubre. We’re hot and a hip choice right now. Alexander wants to come here and others want to see how things shake out.

I think we’ll get no less than what we need. I worry more about becoming a OAD factory and scaring off the 4-star guys we all like so much.

but then again, if Self is going all in to win a championship this year, he may want to keep Frankamp’s sharp-shooting in the arsenal.

Interesting thought…but I just don’t see HCBS sending in a shooter cold to hit a shot. My guess is if Tharpe, Selden et al are the guards during the year/game then they will be the guys to hit the buzzer beaters. It’s who will be the end-of-game Alpha dog. I could certainly see CF that guy in the future…for sure.

As far as PG play… Will Tharpe of 13/14 and Mason be better than EJ and Tharpe of 12/13??? Better hope so (though the scorers around them may/should be better this year)!

@highelitemajor Thanks for the follow-up, HEM.

Glad to hear AW3 is impressing.

I think based on what everyone is saying that the online speculation of a CF redshirt will intensify. Really, someone either should do that or transfer. There’s simply seven guards for five spots. And CF has the combined skills of PG and 3-ball shooting to earn major minutes down the road. As has been said so many times, redshirting is a sign of trust by HCBS, not a lack thereof.

If CF is worrying about not making it at KU…then forget about the NBA (which is his stated goal). I think his best bet, being a short, slow-ish white guy (a minority in the NBA), is to practice with/against the best (at KU) and compete on the biggest stage (also while at KU). Not to harp on Selby, but hype, athleticism and impatience has got him to China (though I hope/doubt he’s washed up at 21).

Any chance of Wesley beating out Traylor or Lucas for the 4th Big spot? Regardless, can’t wait to see him fight for the tip off on Senior Night. Of course, there’re 30 more games before then. Ten more days to Pitt St.!

…site…

For those keeping score “we” are “beating” LJW 16 comments to 8. Both not very impressive but not terrible for a Saturday night. Especially for this sight being in existence for two days!

I’m a little nervous about the lack stand-out PG play … but it was just a scrimmage.

Does anyone think that Selden will not be the one covering Smart?

HEM, could you please expand on “ok” for Tharpe?

Anyone there have thoughts on Selden?

You’ve turned over a new leaf.

“Big Naads.”

I hope he’s pass first this year with an A/TO of 2.5/1 or better. He’s my favorite player on this year’s team so far.

Ha! Good one, 'leaf.

Why did Ford transfer to UK?

Well said, KG.

(Hopefully the replies will be able to pop up right under the post being replied upon.)

Where’s HEM?!?!

Never thought I would say this…but I miss jaybate (mostly his shorter posts, though).
