KU offered 2020 Julian Strawther. Seems like KU has a real shot. Elite wing talent.

Cole Anthony is amazing and has been saying positive things about Self. I'm not gonnnnna jmt myself into believing that Nike could allow him to end up at KU. Might be the best HS player right now regardless of class.
Should be a hoot, rosters are nice. Go KU.
Grimes is a baller.
LOL. That was a gosh damn and one. No call of course.

Anthony was taken down. They walk all the time! Clearly want Argentina in the game
Strong agree. Many fouls by Argentina not called. White took a hard fall not long ago and crickets...

@JayHawkFanToo Do you have a specific team you cheer for? Might have missed it earlier.
Amazing game! Well worth the price of admission.

@BShark but not starting? Who knows! 5 guard rotation? I would say grimes for sure, that's it.
He might. Staff loves him that much we know. Going to be a battle for minutes.
@Crimsonorblue22 Are you asking me? I think Garrett is firmly in the 8 man rotation and could start.
KUSTEVE said:
@BShark I think they both start. DD/Charlie/Grimes/Dedric/ Doke. First man up w the bigs: Silvio. First man up w the guards: Marcus Garrett.
KJ I think will be more of a factor than this. But I see it similar, with the players you mentioned and KJ being the primary 8 player rotation.
It's all coming up Milhouse.
@kjayhawks My dad really like racing, I couldn't get into it myself.
Interestingly enough if I was asked even 3 years ago, football would probably have been my top pick. I've kinda drifted away from it, I think in part due to how much absolute dead time there is during a game.

@drgnslayr I think he used to be more involved but isn't anymore. This is just pure conjecture on my part but man, the 4 I mentioned were very dirty recruitments.

Evidence please.
Didn't you once tell me that it's not on you for me to research your claim? Just look into each one yourself via internet search. I'm not going to "do your legwork".
ground breaking analysis: Ecuador is not good
@Crimsonorblue22 English channel here
I do dislike fan fiction in general yes. However some good has come of it, like Sergio Leonne westerns but I digress.
Brunson was always highly ranked, I know this because KU recruited him. I can't answer on Spellman.
The KU bump isn't as big as say, the Duke bump but Marcus Garrett did go from unranked to near top 50. In the last class, Dotson and Grimes were always highly ranked. McCormack bumped up a bit I think. Agbaji went from being a relative unknown, barely top 300 to 128. Probably would have happened if he ended up at say, Wisconsin, which he almost did. He got tons of interest late from major programs which always make the rankings guys spin around a bit.
I don't think Jay or Self will end up being indicted. Especially given that we have already seen KU players named, but no one even tangentially related to KU. It SEEMS for the time being that KU (and Nova for that matter) are safe.

With redacted geting on a roll lately, scrolling through his posts is helping me get in great shape for the many expected thumb wrestling contests during our g-kids upcoming visit home!
Page Down works well. Also the down arrow on the band at the top of the screen allows you to skip to the next post quickly...:smile:
I should really do this instead of engaging/humoring him.
You appear to have a fanfiction narrative regarding KU. Now to address some things since you asked.
Jay is a good coach. Omari Spellman was #20, Brunson #22. Not exactly sub 75. Let me know when Villanova is named in the indictment.
Funneling as in Adidas paying players to pick an Adidas school/KU. Self played the game. Selby, Collins, Wright, Arthur etc... If you think those were clean I don't know what to tell you. There were others too, but those 4 were perhaps the most glaring. It's a good thing the probe came later, though as we found out...Preston was paid. Josh was paid. Not by KU or Self, it's just the way the system works.
My own hierarchy is...
Hoops
Footy/soccer
Baseball
Football
Hockey

@BShark Most interested in how KJ looked.
KJ and Garrett, maybe somewhat Dedric too aren't always going to wow in scrimmages but are better in actual games. These things have no defense played and KJ/Garrett shine on that end. KJ looked solid overall.
I am thinking Agbaji might take a RS btw.
Can't wait to watch France flame out again. It's a great time honored tradition. Also I expect Zidane to be their manager for the next WC.
Jumping and being fast have never been problems for Cunliffe. Now, if he has figured out the whole playing basketball thing, he can actually be a pretty damn good player.
Self isn't likely to play 6 guards though so Cunliffe still might be in a tough spot.
There is nothing quite like the WC.
This all on the up and up.
Howling, as a certain poster would say.
@Crimsonorblue22 :thinking:
Moore killed it. 26 points, 6 treys. Dotson also balled well. Dotson is explosive, vg passer. Front court is freaking loaded. Don't want to overreact to a scrimmage but McCormack continues to impress. Don't see Agbaji playing this year.
Mario, Elijah, Releford, Graham and Selden all there this time.
lol
No one saw it coming!
Glad KU was never really an option.
Not all the nova players were sub 75. Furthermore many were multi-year and redshirt players that Jay developed.
Nic Moore.
Ah yes poor HCBS. The system works against him at every turn. Meanwhile the great rankings cover-up makes Jay Wright (an excellent talent evaluator and coach in reality) look much better than he really is! When you factor in that KU never gets calls well gosh it's rather amazing HCBS has the will to field a team. A true maverick, a renegade trying to defeat the system that definitely doesn't funnel him players too. :rolling_eyes:
Grimes, Dotson, Moore and Garrett are all good at driving. Teams are definitely going to pitch a tent in the paint.

When's the game today?
No game today. Kids get the day off. Next team USA game is 4pm CST tomorrow.
@BeddieKU23 I would agree it's not going to be an easy sell. You have to convince one to be a back-up. For the first time in their life probably.
@BeddieKU23 Either is a really nice fit with McCormack. Both look like multiple year guys too. Would be great to get both.
3pm at Horejsi

@jaybate-1.0 33% from 3 is virtually the same as 50% from the 2. 40% from 3 calculates out to 60% from 2. We had to shoot 40 north last year because we couldn't get a rebound to save our lives. If Charlie shoots 35% from 3, we're in the Final Four. I love Charlie- his game gives every rec league wanna be hope. Talk about utilizing what you have...Charlie is just nosing for the basket every time. The backboard angles he uses show his gym rat bonafides, and the guy is simply nails in open space. I think the kid is special, and if we need for him to make 40%, he'll manage.
I don't think we'll see Dedric at the 3. Now KJ Lawson at the 3 is a possibility.
Welcome back old compatriot. Solid points here. Regardless of who wins the starting PG spot, Moore and Dotson will both help the team.
Ah yes, poor Bill Self couldn't get the players he wanted.
You sure love them.
@Texas-Hawk-10 FIFA finally changed and is switching to elo.
Frank's SO and JR numbers were very similar, almost identical.
Nice officiating conspiracy thrown in for good measure.
@JayHawkFanToo If you think US soccer politics are a hoot try France or Spain.
Overall the US system just isn't good enough yet, needs more time.
