Big 12 Tournament of tears • Mar 09, 2017 06:50 PM

ISU might be about to finish off OSU

Big 12 Tournament of tears • Mar 09, 2017 06:48 PM

@dylans

I would bet on 2pm central

Big 12 Tournament of tears • Mar 09, 2017 06:46 PM

@dylans

Ha

I would bet on Denver for Romo.

If not UNC, I'm sure it would be Duke then Kentucky

......I....don't even....

Big 12 Tournament of tears • Mar 09, 2017 06:25 PM

KU -8 vs TCU with no Josh. :satisfied:

Big 12 Tournament of tears • Mar 09, 2017 06:22 PM

Fun game so far.

Marcus Garrett • Mar 09, 2017 06:19 PM

16.3/10.2/9.2 per game averages. The point average is probably more concerning than it looks, given that he plays in a structured offense under a former P5 coach that actually passes the ball around to get good shots.

Also he is reportedly 6'7'' now.

@jayballer54 can he drive?🚙

@jayballer54 said:

@Crimsonorblue22 He can do it all, he is the one point guard they said is NBA ready for sure right now, the best point guard in this class. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yeah he's a great player, but I wouldn't get too excited about him since his year of service won't be in crimson and blue.

@BeddieKU23 said:

Juiston had 16 points 16 rebounds 4 assists, 2 steals in Hutch's OT loss last night. He was double teamed a lot, sometimes it seems 3 or 4 guys on him.

Someone who does play by play for Hutch has this to say about Shakur

I would say that Juiston is a decent shooter out to 12-14 feet but rarely shoots from distance because he is exceptional at driving to the basket and finishing. He hits a very high percentage on shots around the basket. He is a tremendous leaper who plays MUCH taller than his 6-7. He is unselfish and a good passer (4 assists/gm). He also averages 2 blocks per outing.

I hope we can pry him away from ISU.

KU to Italy this Summer • Mar 09, 2017 03:12 PM

@Statmachine

I just popped on to post this. I'd say he's coming back LOL.

@Crimsonorblue22

Bill Self isn't an assistant. :wink:

@Kcmatt7 said:

@Crimsonorblue22 TFerg did get to make a lot of money this year though and he fell right about where he would have I think. Seems like he made the right choice for himself.

Way better than sitting for TWO years not playing.

LOL our buddy Grayson • Mar 08, 2017 08:35 PM

Head case.

I don't think BIFM sticks in the NBA but he should have a long and prosperous career elsewhere playing hoops.

Next recruit up • Mar 08, 2017 06:08 PM

@BeddieKU23

Not sure on Pac or SEC partial qualifier rules tbh. It says a lot that he couldn't even sit out a year and be eligible though, so he made the right decision in that regard.

Next recruit up • Mar 08, 2017 05:37 PM

@BeddieKU23 said:

@BShark

Won't we be away? doesn't make sense timing wise

It would have to be early in the week.

@BeddieKU23 said:

@BShark

are you insinuating its the assistant KU fans often say is the weakest link?

Ferguson had a known handler in his camp and that was also apart of the fiasco.

The kid didn't even try at academics. I had read from an Zona board that hypothetically if Ferguson had been ruled a partial qualifier and sat out that it was going to be unlikely he would have been academically eligible after his freshman year. That's how much of a hole T Ferg put himself in academically

Well as you know every recruit has a lead assistant. One they are in contact with.

And yeah he had no shot academically which is why he is in Australia.

Next recruit up • Mar 08, 2017 04:19 PM

Possible Shakur visits next week.

Josh Suspended For 1 Game • Mar 08, 2017 04:17 PM

Thursday's game of course. Y'all know what for.

He wanted to at the beginning of the season. This could be Perry all over again.

Next recruit up • Mar 08, 2017 04:01 PM

@dylans

I don't really want to mention what assistant it was, though I think that can be deduced.

Next recruit up • Mar 08, 2017 03:05 PM

If Ferguson would have qualified he very likely would have played at KU. He had a heated conversation with a KU assistant which led to him committing to Bama in a huff. Clearly he didn't really want to go to Bama. By the time he decommitted KU had moved on to focusing on Josh.

Also don't believe anything to the contrary, TFerg isn't playing college ball because he did not qualify.

@BeddieKU23

Yeah if he is saying this, at the very least that's the current mood/situation.

I posted about this in the recruit thread but I do think it deserves it's own thread. At this point assuming Duval is out of play Graham's decision changes the entire dynamic of next year's team.

@BeddieKU23

Think Self can win games with DG/Newman/Vick/Preston/Doke with a bench of Bragg/Garrett/Cunliffe? :smiling_imp:

Next recruit up • Mar 07, 2017 11:41 PM

Poster on the Phog (usually reliable) says DG is PLANNING to come back, might not even test the waters. Recent development. :pray:

@Kcmatt7 said:

@HighEliteMajor Haha let's just say that there is only room in my heart for one 6'7 post with an ugly jumper.

On another note, the European game has been good to Jamari. Putting up good numbers and overwhelming people with athleticism it seems.

Glad to hear it.

Selden • Mar 07, 2017 11:38 PM

Congrats kiddo.

Tornado • Mar 07, 2017 04:41 PM

@Crimsonorblue22

Nice wind chime.

@JayHawkFanToo

If you barely play football, you are major-ish. Football drives everything.

@JayHawkFanToo

The Big East is major-ish at this point. Ain't what she used to be that's for sure.

I completely agree with the rest though. I don't know how much they play the religion angle compared to Drew at Baylor, but it could definitely be a factor for some recruits. Oh and no doubt Omaha >>>>>> Manhattan.

There is no doubt right now. Creighton is a better job than KSU.

@justanotherfan

Guess it depends on the site you use. Just noticed you said ESPN. Personally I would consider Ballock top 100 and would have been a very good player for KSU.

Notice that Weber seems to have amnesia regarding his horrible seasons when listing off his accomplishments in the article. Hmm. Wonder if they can cure that? :smirk:

Flakes versus Assassins • Mar 07, 2017 02:41 PM

Kirk was a dbag.

@justanotherfan

The Creighton commit is Mitch Ballock from Kansas, and he wasn't interested in KSU. I wish him well there, he just wants to play as soon as possible and that wasn't going to happen at KU.

Post season uni's • Mar 07, 2017 02:37 PM

@Hawk8086

If KU wins the B12 tournament the #1 overall seed would be expected in which case yes white uniforms all the way.

Tornado • Mar 07, 2017 04:47 AM

@bskeet

It's like when there is 1/4 an inch of snow in Atlanta and they shut down everything. :sob:

@drgnslayr

Honestly he has a good eye for talent all things considered.

What city are you in? Just curious what areas are having to evacuate.

@BShark I've friends in Oskaloosa, McClouth & on the East side of Perry Lake. Y'all dodged some big ass bullets tonight.

I know it brother. I was just down in Oskie today actually.

You can always replace things but you can't replace your life.

I have to evacuate🙏 For me

Thoughts and prayers.

@jayballer54

Wow. I'm basically that close to Meriden. Well I think 9 miles officially. Winds were RAGING here, but didn't see a tornado thankfully.

Tornado • Mar 07, 2017 12:59 AM

In Shawnee county. Stay safe fellow bucketeers in the area. @jayballer54

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 10:51 PM

@Kcmatt7

He was offered last night. Norm went to his last game I believe.

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 10:48 PM

@Kcmatt7

That's a fair point. I think he does enough positive things to merit a scholarship. He is a plus passer for his position and a good scorer. Of course, Self LOVES kids like Juiston (hard worker, doesn't whine, rebounds hard etc...), so it's no surprise to me that things have accelerated this quickly.

@jayballer54 said:

lOL, couldn't you just see it. - - We end up signing Shakur man the lil Cyclone paranoia would for sure be flying right? - -They have been recruiting him , then he ends up signing here OMG - -they would be so upset lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

It would be tough for them. They have been selling him on starter minutes at ISU.

@jaybate-1.0

Cuonzo.

Non-shooter. Range goes to about 12 feet. High BBIQ and gritty player.

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 10:24 PM

@Crimsonorblue22

To be fair he wasn't a KU target at all until recently. You could not have known.

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 10:17 PM

“He’s not like most of the kids today who need to put up their recruiting status on their social media,” said Playaz director Jimmy Salmon. “He’s old school, he just takes care of business. When he’s ready to announce, he will. He’s not interested in giving everybody a play-by-play.”

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 09:49 PM

@dylans

I've heard different pronunciations. I'm sure we will find out for sure if he signs with KU as I would think that's something they would put in the press release.

Next recruit up • Mar 06, 2017 09:44 PM

@dylans

Houston I believe.
