Getting blown out by a team that likely won't make the NIT.

Of course HIggins is calling this game. That explains a lot about the calls tonight.
He does tend to have a KU hate boner
This would be an extremely bad loss.
Shooting outside of AFH has been an issue.
Coleby sighting.
Damn Svi you gotta make that
Crap start so far.
I think I made this one first. I did not see the other one at the time.
Maybe we can blow em out, that would be ideal.
No way this Baylor WVU game ends on time, so let's see where our game gets moved to.

Was I the only one that noticed the handshake line last week in AFH? It didn't really look like Bill and Bruce were in love.
Guessing that Bill really doesn't care for Bruce based on lots of evidence and interactions.
BLACKBALLED: The Bill Self Story
Thread on the Phog right now asking if we should play zone. Self won't do it I reckon.
Yeah Ben rubs me the wrong way too.
Foster would have been at KU if he received an offer. That was the Wiggs mega class so there wasn't room of course. Would have been MUCH better than Frankamp in hindsight though.
Okay long term college player if he qualifies, Chris Smith is a lot better if KU can get him.
Fwiw CB trending back to 100% TCU.
Going off of what I've read from people that know a lot more than me (mainly Matt Scott and Ryan Noel/Bham).
Might not qualify, has basketball skill problems. I hope Self isn't in a position where he offers. I believe he claims a KU offer that he does not have.

@BShark Yea I don't know how him reclassifying factors into all of this. But UK is losing a ton. There will be minutes to be had for them next season. If Briscoe leaves (and I think he does) then they only have 3 perimeter players for next season. So a reach like this for next seasons class would seam to be a last resort move by Cal.
It's crazy the amount of studs Cal has signed up but he is still struggling to complete a guard rotation. They might have to play really big with Vanderbilt as a wing. If UK suddenly offers soon I think they have to be considered the favourite.
This is what I thought thanks for confirming.
And yep, def needs to work on his shot. He will def be better served by being with college coaches to work on that compared to HS.
Trae could be Steph good in time. Jmo.
And I agree any good finish to this class starts with landing Trae.
Probably still have to fill two scholarships in addition to Trae (if we land Trae).
I hope we get Smith for sure. Lots of potential.
Usually when Baylor plays KU it doesn't go how they........................................Drew it up..........................................
I'll just see myself out now.

2018 kid if I remember correctly right? That is Elliott
2017 originally. Planning to do a prep year but I would bet if KU wants him in the fold now he would go back to 2017.
The word is out, Self is digging for ditr.

The rumours had been he was going to work out/not play this semester and play next year in college.
@Crimsonorblue22 said:
@BShark I haven't seen that
I'd say the staff wants him just a little bit. :smile:
Norm was watching Trae Young tonight.
Did he come out and say that? I haven't really been paying much attention to the situation since KU wasn't in it.
Yeah I should have posted his 247 profile. Would be a good get.
UK has a lot of wings already for next year (Diallo (committed after Smith's visit), Vanderbilt plus PJ Washington is a combo forward and Gabriel might still be around), not sure who is driving this reclassification. You would think it's a bigger school but UK and KU both signed a wing recently.
Chris Smith is reclassifying to 2017. Will announce his officials soon. KU has been involved.
Jmo but I'm thinking Svi, Josh and Graham all leave after this year and Bragg stays.
This is 2012 depth, 2012 worked out pretty well and there is no 2012 UK looming this year.
Defense is obviously a concern, but this team has about as good of a chance as any.
If he can develop a shot he will be a stud. Now people are going to point the the 3pt% but check the other numbers too.
@wissox said:
@Texas-Hawk-10 I forget but if it'd been Devonte and Frank visiting a few years back wouldn't it have said unranked by them too? Or was it they weren't top 150?
Frank and Graham were both ranked. They were also late risers so the opposite of KJ.
Didn't seem like KU was too interested. I wonder who Self will go after.
Yeah Self has done pretty well with undersized 4 year guards. :smiling_imp:

I watched some highlights. There are some full games up on youtube, I skimmed. He isn't bad. If it doesn't impact Young, KU has the open scholarship and he is willing to RS and put in the work I don't see the harm in it. He's pretty good for a kid that was near invisible on the recruiting sites up until now. DITRs do pop up from time to time. I remember when Barry Brown committed to KSU I was thinking, there are 200+ players better than this kid in this class? No way.
That said KU hasn't even offered yet so let's wait and see.
I see no harm if the staff was interested in him. He is quick enough and can finish at the hoop in the manner of Frank Mason. We tend to do well with those under the radar guards.
Yep. Needs to work on his shooting but this staff is actually pretty damn good at that. It looks like a case of the player trying to recruit the school though.

@brooksmd said:
@BeddieKU23 Exactly. I can remember the so-called experts scratching their heads and wondering why would we want Devonte.
Devonte was a 4 star prospect that went to a d-1 producing machine in Brewster Academy. I seem to remember more people in uproar over Frank who went to a military Academy and was clearly underrated. Regardless we do well finding the right guys that aren't the flashy top 100 kids.
It was very obvious to anyone that watched any of Graham that he was going to be a damn fine college player.

Still, my question is - - - - -WHY? - - -Just don't see it. It seems like to just have a body to me- -sorry I'm not interested. I feel Trae is coming, take this scholi and offer a Big. - -If indeed Trae comes we are good to go at the Guard spot. - -I feel Devonte is coming back, -- Newman , Vick, Garrett, - -no need for this kid, it's a real chone scratcher. - -I mean JUMPIN - -GEE -- HOSSA - -FATS. - -What's the point? - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Probably have to take 6+ kids in this class. Currently at 3. And I'm sure the staff wants another big.
I'd read between the lines more about Young if this was an official. I'm glad it wasn't.
Are you a student right now young fella?

@KUSTEVE hey now! Let's take this outside👊 Going take Grayson allens leg w/me
I've got a trident ready.
I honestly didn't know Houston Texan fans existed. I thought they were like Santa or unicorns.
Agree, it's tough to watch!
Calling it like I see it, Texans only made the playoffs due to their division. Crap QB play never goes far. I had no idea there were any Texan fans here.
THERE WILL BE A PUBLIC EXECUTION OF THE TEXANS ON LIVE TV NEXT WEEK. I ENCOURAGE YOU TO WATCH.
I mean they are.
What?
