🏀 KuBuckets Archive

Fran has been to practice a few times now. Getting his hate material ready again.

Bet Frank Mason is on his all Big-12 PG list this year :smiley:

@franfraschilla
Like you'd expect from most good teams this time of year, Kansas has made big jump in 2 weeks. Rookies comfortable, Vick & Bragg improving.

@franfraschilla
There may or may not be a better backcourt in country but KU's Mason & Graham but their togetherness is telepathic. Always aware of other.

@franfraschilla
Started to see real Josh Jackson today at KU practice. Less thinking, more instinctive and extremely high hoops IQ. Alpha dog.

@franfraschilla
Always glad to see @StephenCurry30 @UAbasketball Camp alum, @iammaliknewman at KU practice. Bill Self will get a lot out of him. Looks great

@BeddieKU23 I think Fran actually likes KU.

@Lulufulu I don't, think he's a butt kisser.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yeah, I'll concede that point. Ok, how bout this. He respects KU and the unmatchable tradition we have.

@Lulufulu nope, can't buy it! He disrespected Frank. For instance he told holly he wanted to stay at our new dorms. Was he complementing us? No, IMO he was saying we are sickening. He loves ISU!

@Crimsonorblue22 Which is funny considering his ties to OU.

Not a Twitter user...was Steph at a practice?

@Lulufulu

Frans is a good analyst and he used to be pretty fair in his comments about KU. Everything changed when his kid decide to attend OU and he has been critical of KU ever since. The rumor was that his son James (5'-10" 150 lbs.) wanted to attend KU but there was zero interest and he ended up walking on at OU where he played a total of 41 minutes over 4 season...not exactly KU or even OU material; he would have done better at a smaller program like his brother who went to Harvard. Maybe now that he has been gone from OU for a year, Frank can get back to being more objective.

@chriz

He keeps referencing guys who attended Steph Curry's camp- Malik Newman was one of them

@BeddieKU23 you should change your avi to the new pic of Frank!😳

@Crimsonorblue22

Crossed my mind.

Fran is being nice to KU in hopes of getting his son a grad assistant spot?

No, of course not!

If Self spurns his son again, the dissing will follow like night the day?

No way!

What we need is more nepotism in coaching.

A lot of great guys have come through the @Big12Conference . @NazzyJML & @MonteMorris11 are two of my favorites.

@Crimsonorblue22

there we go, he's more at home in that photo. Bet he'd miss his kids wedding if KU was playing @ Iowa St on the same day

I ran into the Texas Tech players (and Tubby) at a hotel last year. None of them were an impressive physical specimen. Monte' and Naz fall into that category as well.

I have always been impressed with the upperclassmen at KU after Hudy is done with them!

@JayHawkFanToo

And don't forget this -

Opinion: Jayhawk, Sooner become bloody good friends ↗

That was the "exclamation point" to it all.

I just think Fran is a butt-kisser. In the right setting he loves to dis Kansas and the Kansas "smug" fan base. He does this when he is away from Kansas because he knows the other 9 Big12 teams want to hear that. Then he comes to Lawrence, sucks up to us and gets the inside info on our team. I've always questioned if he was a spy. I wouldn't want him sitting in on my practices, especially when we are preparing for a big game.
