It all started at KU. The number of programs simply touched by KU is unbelievable.

Tad Boyle. Mark Turgeon. Jerod Haas. Joe Dooley. Danny Manning. Rex Walters. Kevin Stallings. Jerry Green. CB McGrath. Tim Jankovich. John Calipari. Gale Catlett. Larry Brown. Adolph Rupp. Dean Smith. Dutch Lonborg. Ralph Miller. Barry Hinson. David Padgett. Doc Sadler. Ben Miller. Kyle Keller. Norm Roberts. Matt Doherty. Neil Dougherty. Jerry Green. Steve Robinson.

And that doesn’t even include the NBA. Alvin Gentry. Greg Popovich. Jacque Vaughn. R.C. Buford. Mark Randall. Milt Newton. Kevin Pritchard. Bob Hill.

If you were to do one branch further off of anyone who was simply touched by KU basketball, we are talking about 1/3 of college basketball and 1/2 of the NBA having been connected to KU in some form or fashion.

So, in my opinion, KU’s Blue Blood status really has little to do with it’s success. At least compared to that of the others. It has to do with the fact that damn near every single piece of basketball history has a trail that somehow leads all the way back to 1651 Naismith Dr.

A bad shooting UK team loses it’s best shooter… NIT in coming. I can feel it

@justanotherfan Besides him playing well consistently against all opponents, he is 100% worth the risk unless you think you are going to fill this entire first class.

Starks did just start following Jax Dineen and a couple of KU players. That Louisiana connection is amazing.

Jones was obviously the lead recruiter for Parker while he was committed to Tech. But KU was involved with the old regime so this is sort of the best of both worlds. Don’t be surprised if TCU gets in the mix though.

There is going to be some serious offensive talent coming in at the WR position.

We are the better team on paper. If we defend the 3 well everything will be fine.

If he’s going to transfer, now would be the time. He’d be eligible at semester next season…
