Romeo Langford looked really really good last night too.
Total stud. Unfortunately KU isn't really in the running for his one year of service.
I made the game more unwatchable than it already was which is saying a lot.
Preston made a great choice for his future picking Kansas. You can seen he is ooooooooooozing with talent but lazy at times (didn't help that Oak Hill played zone). Self will crank this kid up.
Dynamic. Could have it like Graham and Mason where they both share ball handling responsibilities.
"Garrett drives to the rack, the defender slides over but wait he stops and passes out to Young for a trifecta! It's good baby! You can't leave Young open, he's a killlllaaaaa." Dickie V covering a KU game, hopefully.

Exactly I'm not big on the 18 point guards but if we get one I hope its Dotson.
I'm not even sure who else KU is really in on in terms of 2018 PGs at this point. Quickley is a stud but going to UW or UK most likely (but never count Duke out). The Orca whale will lock up Brandon Williams and Quinerly is good but feels like a kid that will stay out east. Only other one I can think of is Jamie Lewis who should be a good multi-year PG in the same kind of ranking range as Graham and Mason last I knew (Mason's composite ranking dipped due to ESPN not ranking post grads). KU hasn't offered Lewis yet though.
Hopefully we land Young and go into that year with Young and Garrett running the show as Sophs.
The last bit is the kicker for me. If it's one year of each, I'd probably take Duval but Young is a 5star 2018 recruit too and better than anyone we could get in that class as a FR.
Anyone that follows cbb could get over 60 of the teams right imo.
Matt Scott posted some random VIP tidbits again. Mentioned a name I don't remember hearing KU was involved with so I asked him about the kid.
Beats Thursday Night football iyam.

Do we have any updates on Duval? Or is it just all eggs in the Young basket?
I'm scared to rely on a grad transfer, but I guess it could be worse. Getting an experienced PG for one season to bridge the gap while we have Svi, Newman and Vick to do our scoring. Plus another year of development from Bragg and Doke and bringing in Preston. Our post play should be very solid next season to make up for our lack of PG play.
Sure seems like Duval was just waiting on the Duke offer and will end up there.
The best hope is for Young as this point. Without a doubt KU is a top 3 team next year with Young/Newman/Vick/Preston/Doke. Bragg could honestly return too at this point which would be a nice plus. Definitely in for some growing pains if it comes to fruition though. Young, Newman and Preston are quick to shoot and slow to pass.
Indeed. 7 D1 prospects in the next two classes.
They are playing Sierra Canyon who has Marvin Bagley, Cody Riley and some other prospects as well. Emphasis on the bag in Bagley from what I've seen floating around.
Oak Hill has a televised game on ESPN2 tonight. A chance to watch Billy play.
Repurposing this thread.
100%
Dude is a clown, any business ran by KU grads should not advertise on 810 imo. I never listen to his show but know more than enough from what has been posted about him various times.
Bracketology before the new year? LOL
It's a good thing nobody like Joe Davis jumped to conclu....oh right....
Seriously though, happy about this for a lot of reasons, most of which are not even related to basketball.
That's about all I can do. XD

Copeland is an interesting take. He is big, athletic and can shoot but has never put it all together at Georgetown. Hard to say whether a change of scenery will do him good. He would have just 1 1/2 years left after a red-shirt?
I would think so. Kind of bad timing. I would figure he must not be on pace the graduate early or he could just gut it out and grad transfer. If he'd be available for the season after next, then I think it's a solid take.
Haven't seen SMU play so I can't really comment on Froling. His numbers are bad, but he is only a FR.
Unfortunately not yet. I'd like to hope it will pass by Saturday.
Bragg is one of our two upside bigs (Lucas, Coleby and Lightfoot are jags right now) so I can see where him improving would really help the team. He has also had fairly decent numbers just not what we were hoping for. He isn't needed but he sure would help.
So I've been extremely sick to the point where I couldn't really do anything.
I was about to post some of these. Very odd.
Copeland went to Brewster and from NC area. Interesting to see if KU gets involved. He seemed to regress though.
2018 name to watch: http://247sports.com/Player/Chris-Smith-88440 ↗
Hack-a-Doke has been a concern of mine again. The one thing about it is, they can't do it too early, or it puts KU in the bonus super quickly and then you can just pull Doke out at that point and reap the benefits.
Hard hitting avatar analysis. I like it.
It's almost like he was injured and that was negatively impacting his play. :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon: :thought_balloon:
Might be massacre.
Davidson is in the same range as UGA, Stanford, NUBS etc... They have a couple good players but it should be a win. 2nd half was blah but the team kinda knew that Nebraska didn't have much for them.
Tejas struggling with the Beach.
FT% better than 3PT% today. FT% w/o Josh and Doke = 76%. Heh.
Funny.
Great game from both. Doke showing some encouraging things.
Snooze control after the first half.
Didn't cover. Burn it down!!! :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:
9-9 now
Delusional because of what he is seeing now imo.
Yeah. Svi should have just laid that in or dunk himself or passed normally to Josh. Anything but what he did really.
um......
It was called one...
ISU has nothing inside.
Yeah he is like a secret 5 star for the 2017 class. Except he will be in his third year removed from HS.
Heard great things about how well Newman is doing. We will see if it translates.
Haha. Not sure how they missed that call on Frank. Dude for Nubbs got him on the arm.
You are right. I worded that wrong. Hoping they can talk it out.
Refs drunk
Hopefully it gets resolved w/o lawyers.
Composite post doing work!
Lucas doing the same things mostly, just not being called for offensive fouls now...
