A bit of both, you know my feelings on Shaka.

The crazy thing is they have talent, even some NBA talent, they just don't have a P5 level ballhandler.

You mean they just have a shitty coach who can't coach them up

Bracketology • Feb 24, 2017 04:01 PM

@jayballer54

I believe the #1 overall seed would be paired with the 4th #1 seed (4th overall team). 2 vs 3 would be the other.

So if KU is the #1 overall seed as they are projecting right now, KU would theoretically play Gonzaga the overall 4th #1 seed

AND THIS IS WHY SVI WILL BE BACK • Feb 24, 2017 01:17 PM

@jayballer54

Definitely, the Villanova game is still one that haunts me. Being from the East Coast I see more Nova fans then ever now and it always reminds me what could have been with last years squad. I could have never imagined Perry being so ineffective after the game he had against Maryland or that Wayne's 3 ball would completely fall off the planet or that Frank Mason would be working with only 1 good leg. And then don't even get me started about any of Devonte's fouls in that game. Anyway that was a great team that had a great season and all we can hope for is that this years version is able to to overcome all the tribulations that have occurred. We are relatively healthy heading into this last month of basketball and I feel like our best basketball is still in our reach. Imagine if the TCU game is the fuel that finally gets this team to its peak level of play. One can only hope.

AND THIS IS WHY SVI WILL BE BACK • Feb 24, 2017 11:55 AM

@jayballer54

I don't think Graham will be back, we've discussed this a few times before. But one can dream about next years squad with him still on it until it happens. All this talk of him going anywhere is tiring though with the most important stretch of the season coming up and Devonte's role being so critical to how it ends. The further KU gets in March is good for him, good for us.

Walton and Pasch • Feb 24, 2017 11:48 AM

@mayjay

Right, I'm sure I'll laugh at half of Walton's commentary just because he's outrageous. Hopefully the team doesn't find him pre-game for any extra curricular activities..

Non-KU games • Feb 24, 2017 10:48 AM

@justanotherfan

Right, your never going to get a lot of top talent in Lubbock so they definitely hired a coach that will take whatever he can get.

What's interesting about the 2 transfers from the Power 5 schools is; Brandon Francis (2014 #35 overall recruit on ESPN). Missed his freshman year with academics then was buried on the depth chart last season only playing 10 minutes a game for Florida and shooting a deplorable 20% from the field on 100 shots. Will be a 4th year Jr that came in with a big time reputation out of HS.. Imagine Beard will get the most out of him.

Then he gets Tommy Hamilton from Depaul who averaged between 7-10 points a game in 3 seasons. A 6'11 big who shot 44% from 3 as a Jr. I think he'll start next season next to Smith. And Tech should return 4 starters that will all be Seniors. He could go 10 deep with Juniors and Seniors next season. I see Tech being a top 25 squad and a top 5 Big-12 team next season.

It seems with so many upperclassmen that next years recruiting class will be key to putting out a consistent team

AND THIS IS WHY SVI WILL BE BACK • Feb 24, 2017 10:34 AM

I'm sure I'll have this dream that both will be back at least a few times. Svi has been in single digits in 5 straight and is trending the wrong way. Just one of them back would help tremendously.

@HawkChamp

We all know anything is better then the alternative..

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 06:58 PM

@JayHawkFanToo

It doesn't say exactly why he ended up at Hutchinson. He is 6'7 so not your typical big, in-between positions. It does sound like probably grades and his brothers death have derailed him a bit. He has a lot of offers but sounds like Iowa St has really zero'd in on him. A lot of reports are that he's ready to play D-1

Bracketology • Feb 23, 2017 06:39 PM

@jayballer54

He's got the good stuff out lately. Obviously 3 of the title favorites won't end up in the same bracket. But he's having fun trolling with KU right now

@Crimsonorblue22

I hope the same for my son. Crazy this kid is in JUCO from the sounds of it. reminds of the path Kevin Young had to get to KU

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 06:34 PM

@JayHawkFanToo

I believe West Virginia could finish 2nd. I don't think they lose to Baylor in Waco, they just dominated them so much the first time and the one thing that Baylor can't fix going into the 2nd game is ball pressure. KU forced Baylor into a lot of turnovers so imagine what West Virginia will try and do again.

ISU has a tough 3 game stretch..

@BShark

I remember that thread where every Kansas St player was better then KU's.. Gotta love when a fan-base drinks together

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 06:29 PM

@JayHawkFanToo

Tough upbringing. From inner-city New Jersey. Walked home Freshman year from high school by a taped up murder scene. Gets home the cops later knock on his door telling him his brother has been killed. Article says it weighs heavily on his mind everyday.

A lot of character references pointing to a really good kid, . Here's some of what is written about the kid from an Iowa St writer..

I’ll tell you how nice he is. When he’s on the court when someone from the other team falls, even if he didn’t knock him over, he goes across the court to pick him up. The referee told him the other day, ‘Hey, zero, you don’t have to do that.’ Shakur was like, ‘I’m just trying to show good sportsmanship

Here the fans love him. My head coach got an email like two weeks ago, he doesn’t even know who it’s from, but somebody sent an email that they watched Shakur after a game, we’re going to our locker room and he sees an older person struggling walking out the door and he went over and helped her out to her car. We don’t even know who wrote that saying how great that is and we should be proud. That’s the kind of kid he is

Beard seems to be on the ISU recruiting model so far.

They have transfers from Depaul, Florida and 3 JUCO's.. The two HS kids they signed ranked #216 & #234 according to 247. One of the Juco's is #6 overall.

Usually I'm all for the conference getting another bid but with KSU I really don't want them in the tournament. They are doing exactly as planned :smile:

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 02:20 PM

@BShark

Easier for ISU to fill their class at this point as they are after all JUCO's besides the Yetna kid. These offers to ISU might be their holy grail and obviously ISU is known for JUCO's..

They offered De'Quon Lake, Juiston, Raynere Thornton, Kyvon Davenport, and a guard Davion Cole-Johnson. Looks like they will get at least 2 of this group..

Lake is saying KU could be on his list of visits this spring.. ISU, KSU others as well..

And your right it doesn't really make them a big team again. Although Lard & Kasongo will give them better length, its unknown how good either will be.

Non-KU games • Feb 23, 2017 02:11 PM

@BShark

Reading their board they are in the running for a good JUCO big from Hutchinson- Juiston and a Post from Putnam Science who's got some long term ability. Looks like they will get the Hutchinson kid, apparently very skilled, won Peach Jam a few years back with Isiah Briscoe.

Projecting their Starting 5 right now..

PG- Jackson

SG- Wigginton

SF- Babb

PF- (Insert Recruit)/ Solomon Young

C- (Insert Recruit)/Cameron Lard

Definitely a step back, no way around it.

Definitely KSU has sunk the ship in February. Couldn't happen to a better group of guys and Coach.

ISU with its seniors just sitting there quietly.

The OSU game will be mighty tough the way they are playing

Oh My Josh • Feb 23, 2017 12:30 PM

@mayjay

I thought he looked a bit like Lebron James last night. I know they can't compare but the overall skill Jackson plays with is something not many players have the ability to execute. His passing ability is his most unsung attribute and he had 3-4 passes last night that were scary good.

He goes down on the floor, crowd felt like they were at a funeral. He comes back in and immediately nails a 3 with a hand in his face. The one handed dunk is his way of punishing the other team. His signature I own you dunk.
