OP probably needs changed or the entire thread should just get deleted at this point honestly.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 16, 2018 07:45 PM

I am 100% ok with UK and Duke taking OADs and having absolutely no depth or experience to go with it. Go ahead and mark them down for an elite 8 flameout.

Eye rolls. Keelon just trying to soak up as much fame as he possibly can.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 16, 2018 07:39 PM

@BeddieKU23 Lol I feel another zone coming.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 16, 2018 07:31 PM

@BeddieKU23 that team has less than no depth now.

Langford • Apr 16, 2018 05:22 PM

This dang millennial generation and their choosing to win... It's annoying.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 04:55 PM

@JayHawkFanToo I know what he has done. It doesn't make me not like his roster for next season.

And I still think he gets next year unless this season is an absolute disaster. Not a cheap buyout.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 04:45 PM

@BeddieKU23 Just think Brodz was a huge mismatch and Kenrich was legitimately one of the better defenders in the conference. Not easy guys to replace.

And I would think Zhaire would be leaning turning pro. Seems to be projected 1st rounder everywhere I look. Losing him and Evans would be devastating to their offense that was never really that great anyways.

2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread • Apr 16, 2018 04:33 PM

I like being in a spot to be picky.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 04:29 PM

@BShark Agreed. Shaka at least has to get back to the point where he can do what he does best. He honestly recruited too well for the style he actually knows how to coach.

2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread • Apr 16, 2018 04:25 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Two open spots

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 04:11 PM

@BShark I know, but something tells me he finally has enough bodies that he can basically just copy Huggins lol.

2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread • Apr 16, 2018 04:09 PM

@BeddieKU23 I didn't think he wasn't going to play pro overseas. I would have taken, no doubt.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 04:07 PM

Real questions to me are TCU and Tech.

How does TCU do without their best defender, best rebounder and stretch 5? Guard play won't be an issue. But post play doesn't look good.

How does Beard do in his 2nd year at Tech after losing his two best players and 5 senior rotation players? Some talent still in the program, but not the same as he had last year for sure.

Langford • Apr 16, 2018 04:00 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Lol its funny, because I thought the fact that he decomitted before made it more likely he would consider it again.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 03:56 PM

@BeddieKU23 Latest update on Jones was that he has started to put weight back on again which is a really good sign.

If Roach comes back, their starting unit looks nice.

  • PG: Coleman
  • SG: Jones
  • SF: Roach
  • PF: Ostekowski
  • C: Sims

Heppa and Liddell are both solid depth pieces that pose matchup problems off of the bench. Hayes might even be able to shoot himself into some PT. If they land a solid grad transfer, I very much expect them to finish in the top half of the league.

Langford • Apr 16, 2018 03:50 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Funny how wide open it looked for PT a month ago... I would say his family isn't happy.

It will be really interesting to see what happens if Cal does get Maxey to come and play in this class.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 03:47 PM

@JayHawkFanToo We will see. I really like the core and depth that UT has. I expect a HUGE year from Coleman.

Romeo . a different look/ A different take • Apr 16, 2018 02:44 PM

@BeddieKU23 Don't let those fool you yet...

Go watch Landen HS highlights and he is draining mid range shots. Then, Bill Self destroyed his confidence and he could barely make a layup lol.

But I do expect him to be a much better player than both of them by the time he is done here. He works his tail off it looks like.

Langford • Apr 16, 2018 02:42 PM

I would be too if I were them.

With that being said, I hope Bill gives them a call and asks the to be honest with him. It really wouldn't be fair to keep three programs in limbo for your own vanity. It would be different if it wasn't two weeks away and the transfer market didn't become this 2nd wave of recruiting. But it really is selfish to keep this info from the programs if you have decided already.

Romeo . a different look/ A different take • Apr 16, 2018 02:35 PM

@BeddieKU23 I can't wait to see what he looks like in October. Once he is on a real food plan and college workout plan I expect to see him get just absolutely shredded.

Romeo . a different look/ A different take • Apr 16, 2018 02:30 PM

@BeddieKU23 Exactly. The rest of Indiana is putting pressure on him. But his town not so much.

On another note, his measurements came in from the Summit. A real 6'5 with a 6'11 wingspan and 202 lbs. That 202lbs could be turned into 212 lbs by Hudy this summer no doubt.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 02:15 PM

@BShark Next season at least. I think they should legit be a top 15 team. Of course Bruce will probably play a cupcake schedule again and so they won't end up with a good seed in the tournament.

2018-2019 Grad & Sitout Transfer Thread • Apr 16, 2018 02:13 PM

Wonder if the Langford's haven't told the coaches yet. I don't see Indiana or Vanderbilt active either with 2 spots open.

Bruce On The Warpath • Apr 16, 2018 01:54 PM

Well I actually like to see another B12 team that is in a spot they can look to simply upgrade their roster instead of take guys out of need. KSU might give us more of a run for our money than most would like to admit.

Anyone watching NBA Playoffs? • Apr 15, 2018 08:23 PM

Ha I missed it dude. I'm doing HW at the moment unfortunately. I still think the Bucks take the series.

Anyone watching NBA Playoffs? • Apr 15, 2018 07:20 PM

@BShark I'll take the Bucs with no Kyrie.

2019 Recruiting • Apr 15, 2018 05:58 PM

His body is already college ready. Looks like a goo pickup actually.

Anyone watching NBA Playoffs? • Apr 15, 2018 03:30 PM

Just betting on them lol.

Wellp.... We're back... • Apr 14, 2018 01:30 AM

Can’t get on with my computer again. I’m sure you’re working on it but just wanted to provide info

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 07:50 PM

@BShark I will 100% respect his decision to leave if that's what he chooses.

I wish he could talk to an agent about it and see what he would likely get paid if he went to play overseas.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 07:44 PM

@BShark I sure hope so.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 07:36 PM

Today is basically the last day to ask for feedback without officially declaring. A week from today is basically the deadline to declare. At least we should have an answer on Doke in the next week. Langford decision is in 2 and a half weeks. By then, I hope we basically have our roster figured out.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 07:18 PM

https://www.aseaofblue.com/2018/4/13/17231780/tyler-herro-keldon-johnson-tyrese-maxey-impact-quade-green ↗

Herro doesn't sound happy lol.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 07:11 PM

I'm honestly thinking Herro at this point. We reached out way back. But that was when Cal was telling the kid he would come in and start. Now, I don't even see how he plays.

He didn't go there to be the 5th or 6th guard.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 07:09 PM

@BShark Oh he's not going anywhere. But, Cal 100% told everyone of these kids they would come in and start or be the first guy off of the bench and play 25 mpg. That isn't going to happen at this point, so someone is going to be pissed.

Wellp.... We're back... • Apr 13, 2018 07:01 PM

One day I went to work and my key fob wasn't working anymore. Thought I was fired. I wasn't. But this is exactly how that felt lol.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 07:00 PM

@BShark Lol Kentucky fans would have a Civil War if that happened.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:55 PM

@BShark Lol right? That has me dead! I look at that team and all I can see is 10 losses. Chris Weber and Jalen Rose aren't walking through that door :joy:

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:53 PM

I think it would have to be Harris or Johnson. Not sure why Johnson wouldn't want to go to Florida though. Unless he thinks he is OAD and thinks KU is the place you go to do that.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:51 PM

@BShark Ok ok ok.

Here is that list (this is assuming Jay Wright takes the Knicks job):

  • Cole Swider - Nova
  • Quinerley - Nova
  • Brandon Slater - Nova
  • Jermaine Harris - Rhode Island

That's it. So Jermaine Harris only one making sense here.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:30 PM

@BShark I swear Cal has some military grade cologne or something that puts people in a trans and they believe everything he says.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:29 PM

@BShark Is the Maxey thing official?

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:29 PM

@BShark Maybe it is someone who signed. But I just think that would be an NCAA mess.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:28 PM

Herro isn't going to be happy no way no how. Green has to be so butthurt right now.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:27 PM

@BShark Have you ever seen a team with so many PGs? lol.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:26 PM

@BShark Agreed. Just the way it sounds, it would have to be a guard and someone who could step in right away and play. But Bill does Bill in the Spring.

Draft Declarations Thread • Apr 13, 2018 06:25 PM

And Hamidou Diallo is gone. UK's "stacked" roster continuing to fall apart piece by piece. Hearing PJ is leaning towards staying in the draft now. Green transfer rumors are still abundant as well.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:21 PM

Landing any of those other players would be a freaking coup. Would be funny to land Khavon Moore. It would be Bill's "welcome to the conference" moment I think lol.

Langford • Apr 13, 2018 06:20 PM

@BShark I don't either. Just trying to find a connection.
