BeddieKU23 said:
This one moved fast.
He's a good 3 point shooter so that spot up role is something I think he could fill. His PER is alarming (14) which shows up in his low FG % and average at best stat line.
Post Tucker you have to take a guy like this. He can shoot which we need desperately and he has 102 games experience in a Big-10 program. You'd think if he stayed at Iowa he was a double digit scorer his final year. If he can even give us 5-6 ppg its worth it. This is an instant plug and play guy in some way
I hadn't really paid or heard much of the kid - -BUT after he entered the transfer - had over 50 schools reach out. - - Said he couldn't accept anything from any other Big 10 school out of respect for Iowa - -and same went for Iowa St
BeddieKU23 said:
Very odd career move this late. Happy for him though if that's what he wants. The Big-10 and NCAA basketball just lost a great mind and a very good coach
thing is - -what kind of recruiting class did he have this year? - - any noteworthy ?
ya seems really odd move - - he is an older guy if not mistaking - -like being said I have wondered sometimes how much longer he would be Coaching period.
Strange move on Cav's part too - -wondering whaaaaaa

To think the Sixers could have had Leonard if they were just willing to give up Fultz preseason instead of for just a bench place later on...
Is Fultz still hurt or exactly what DID happen with him. - -Philly has some good players - -I really like Butler , then of course Jo Jo and Simmons , Harris - I'm not sure exactly what they are missing. - I do think Jo Jo tens to settle a little to much trying to hit the 3 at times a little to much -cause when he is low he is a load - - totally forgot about Fultz - -him or someone like him might be that final piece

I feel for Jojo and the 76ers, that was a great series. One of the best I've seen in a over a decade. Leonard is one of my favorite players to watch and he was superman all series but that was outta his ass no question.
All series - - Philly had NO ANSWERE for him - - you knew Leonard was gonna be taking that shot --- Jo Jo bout got that shot
KirkIsMyHinrich said:
Man, that's a tough way to lose if you're Philly. I think that ball hit the rim and glass 4 or 5 times before it barely rolled in.
that is what I was tellin my friend. - - - jo Jo almost got that dam thing then it bound at least 3-4 times.
Philly just blew this game throw I mean like 3 shot clock violations in like the last 6 minutes of the game - - who does that? - not paying attention - -then like the announcer said he couldn't understand why they didn't at least try to get the ball down low to their best player late in the game - -Jo Jo did though take some ill advised three's late - - Toronto all they have is Leonard -c-again like they said Toronto better have someone else step up - Milw will teat that ass up
Man I just HATE this dam NBA continuation play/calls - I mean it's just crazy - I guy goes on a drive gets fouled - - -he continues three four five more steps then shoots and makes the shot they call it good and get the foul - -that's just insane - -they need to do something with that.
Had to laugh at this during game 7 tonight with Jo Jo - -break in the game - -ran a comerical , Jo jo was in it - -it was about hula phone or something like that - fans getting Jo Jo autograph - -fan ask Jo jo said I thought your nick name was the Process - he says not anymore

HEY - - what has happened to us with our recruitment on Greg Brown? -had a article on him off Zags Blog about his recruitment. - -I know we were recruiting him and recruiting him pretty hard.
Now he says several schools recruiting him hard and KU is not listed. - - -Brown stated that Memphis - - - Texas - - -North Carolina - - & Auburn are the schools that have been working the hardest , stating that he was planning to cut his list like I think he said around Jun or July to like 7 schools, - we better stay hard on this kid - -we had been active with him for some time and now NOTHING?

@jayballer73 grad transfer so eligible immediately. He's not a PG. Looks like he does a bit of everything, won't be a star for us but a solid contributor. Shot 42% from three last year on 114 attempts.

Back to wondering if we will sign another recruit ever again.
THIS year has been one Big time Screw over for sure
KUSTEVE said:
@BShark I think you make a real good point. Logically speaking, why would a 5 star point guard go to a university if there were already two 5 star point guards signed? If you had 50+ offers to truly run the entire show ( a little bit like Trae Young ) at practically any place you wanted to go, why would 3 5-star pgs sign to play on the same team? My answer is everyone of these kids are getting paid big bucks to play small amounts. Why would Rayjon Tucker choose Memphis, where he is sharing the limelight with a boatload of top 10 recruits...over a starring role with KU? The whole sport is corrupt...rotten to the core.
exactly - -and some how -- some way Ol crap for brains manages to persuade these kids to come whether they loaded or not -- it's Kentucky
KUSTEVE said:
@jayballer73 It appears he is trying to drive his price up. Who knows...maybe it pays better to sit on the bench at Tucky than it does to start at KU.
I still have serious doubts about him to Kentucky - - but you still can't ignore things - the way our year has played out - - -at this point anything is possible in this recruiting year. - - Hell just look at how confident people were thinking about Tucker - -and then BAM the huge kick to the nads - - for Memphis - - Memphis - hadn't been hearing squat about them in his recruitment. - It was all aboutm KU and Auburn - - MEMPHIS for Christ sakes
Well good news just keeps rolling in , read an article from a couple days a go that I received through my E-mail that Kentucky has made up ground in the last couple of weeks for RJ Hampton.
Says that it has been widely precepted that it was down to a two team race between KU and Memphis but the last 2 weeks Kentucky had been gaining ground according to Corey Evans from Rivals. - Right now Ku is leading for RJ at 62%.
It just keeps getting better and better and better holy crap - says Kentucky has gotten RJ interest- looks like a perfect ending to way to many misses - we know if Kentucky goes after a kid they want 9-10 they will end up getting that kid and make it work just like Duke. - - Thought we were good with him against Kentucky because of their crowded backcourt but NOW who the hell knows. -- Dam
A new name mentioned in our 2020 recruiting that I hadn't heard mentioned anyways.
Mady Sissoko 6'9 - - - 230 lb -from Mali- - - ranked at the present # 51 player in the class of 2020 ( Mount Pleasant Wasatch Academy. - - article stated Tremendous Athlete , long plays with a level 10 motor , legit rim protector , and legit rebounder from both sides of the court. He caused a delay in one of the games after a powerful dunk from him partially broke part of the rim.
His list of Schools at the present are BYU , Colorado , Oregon St , Utah , Utah St , & KU - - from seeing this list looks to me like might be hard to get off the Western pat of the Country or Coast. - - -From the sounds of it , I'm sure gonna be getting more interest for sure. - -This article summary was given by John Gershon - - - -who knows what will happen we shall see. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This now becomes the Million dollar Question. - -Silvio has till the 29th of May to withdraw his name from the NBA Draft. - The Timer has officially began to tick - - So let's look and trying to justify things:
He turned down the G league invite - - -He didn't do his one workout/tryout of I thing the Hawks? right? - - He didn't get invited to the NBA Combine - - -Sooo the question is -- Will he pull his name out before the May 29th deadline - - - -OR will he stay in? - - holler at me what ya think - - speak up - - let your voice be heard. - - ROC CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I don’t see how they fill the 13 allotted scholarships now after missing on both Tucker and Holyfield. Might have a hard time getting to even 12.
Well, KU didn't really go after Holyfield much. Tucker on the other hand is a clear miss.
@FarmerJayhawk I like Kyree Walker a lot. That would save the class to be sure.
that makes 2 of us
FarmerJayhawk said:
@KirkIsMyHinrich i think so. He’s plenty old enough.
Thinking though that he had said he was just focusing on the AAU circuit right now and wouldn't really sit down and think about it to much until after circuit was over - -isn't that what he said, swore I read that some where on him - -NOW we really need to get after him hard -- We'vew been on him for some time..
Before this Tucker BS - I was hoping Tucker land here - -we could try and keep Kyree in 2020 and then we could just slide him into the point in 2020 if and when RJ leaves - -but things have changed

@FarmerJayhawk that tweet doesn't make any sense , as it says College if the NBA doesn't work out -he wasn't on any mock draft boards - -didn't get a NBA combine invite
Yet he says College if NBA doesn't work out - -unless pulls his name out before the 29th of May - -so how would he d College if the NBA doesn't work out? - -can't come back - - unless he is talking about being a D league player and then after not making it then come back to college to finish a Degree or something right?
HighEliteMajor said:
@jayballer73 Yes, I get that. Garrett is a pretty good player. No doubt. Buy he is a highly flawed player. Some may “dog him” him I guess, but the way below avg shooting is why many don’t view him as worthy of starting or playing big minutes. So maybe that’s dogging him.
It’s a critical flaw when you have a player that shoots less than 25% from three, 42% overall, and under 60% from the line.
There is a rational argument to be made that he shouldn’t even play with those poor numbers. But he is very good in other phases and has proven to be a situational difference maker.
When Self gives him too big of a role, it costs our team. That’s reality (or dogging him).
Ok I truly apologize - - really sorry I didn't notice your later post - but after I seen the other poster got my crimson and blue blood toasted - again so sorry - -but yet others do REALLY do dog on Marcus - basing it only on the 3 pt shot. - that is just bullshit - -they are not looking at the other aspects of his game - -he is by far a lot more complete player then most want to give him credit for - and that is what the poster was trying to bring out - -the other aspects of his game. -Sorry - -I should of looked further guess just to tired and edgy - - -again Sorry - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If Marcus is on the perimeter, why not slack off to below the free throw line? He compromises your entire offensive flow if the opposing coach has a pulse.
again IF we ha - -we will have better complete team more competent scorer's .ve a normal years team it isn't going to make any difference
When one guy’s defender doesn’t have to respect him away from the basket, it can only hurt your offense as that defender can help stop penetration from other offensive players, and can really ignore the kick out to Garrett’.
ok you keep dwelling om him not being able to shoot the three - -you have never answered my question/our question. - -So I can only assume then your would love to have another incompetent Grimes right?

So lets see where else did Grimes help seeing as how all he could do was shoot inconsistent 3's - -that's a wrap. -- was he a better free throw shooter - -ahh well yes a whopping 2 % - - a 60% free throw shooter -- major bonus there - -problem is he couldn't get to the line - wonder why? - -cause he wouldn't drive the fricken ball that's why.
Well the what else COULD GE DO? - - -NOT A DAMM THING THAT'S WHAT - -any time the other team needed a key bucket - they would go to Grimes man - -how he defend them? - - answer - - HE DIDN'T
But hey let's just bag on Garrett the BY FAR the much , much better complete player without a doubt. - -But we wouldn't want a complete player would we? - let's get yet ANOTHER player that all he can do is jack up 3's and be so dam inconsistent -we will give him a pass and Dog Garett - -ya that works - that gets you a lot of wins.
So seeing as how you continued to ignore the question of who you would rather want - -then it must be another Grimes - ok , good luck with that - Again I would Dare anyone to ask Coach what the reason he recruited Marcus Garrett - if you ask was it was for his offense - - -lol - he would probably laugh your right of the room. - He recruited Marcus for the defensive presence - he knew exactly what he was recruiting him for - -his defensive presence and ball handling - -Grimes averaged exactly 1 more point a game then Garrett yet that's ok? - Grimes was just as much of a liability as Garett cause no dam consistency - and he gave us NOTHING on the defensive end - yet you want another Grimes - - makes perfect sense - -This is exactly what this poster was talking about - -have no idea why people want to talk so much Crap on Garett -other then the fact he can't hit a 3 pt shot - -never mind all the other aspects he does Soooo much better - he can't hit the 3 - -he is worthless right? lo - that's a fricken joke. - ok - - you stick with your OAD Grimes or whoever
Again in a normal year this wouldn't be that kin of issue - -but it wasn't that type of year - -I'm done - -I'll stick with Garrett - - the complete player who can at least drive a dam basketball to the hole. - -he knows he struggles with his J - -he has enough Basketball savvy he knows to drive the ball - not just continue to stand out there and J 3's - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@HighEliteMajor well like this whole thing was about was why people are dogging garrett so much when he brings so much to the table. - -some people can only see what they want to see and ignore others - -like I said I'm not looking to get into a pissing contest over this. I simply am pointing out as the others where this came from. - -Again I bet if you were to ask Coach Self as to why he recruited Garett - he sure the wouldn't tell you it was because of his scoring abilities.
it would be for his athleticism which shows in any stat that you would like to compare - - -if we placing blame why don't we place blame where it really belongs. - -Did our wonderful OAD fulfill what we thought we were getting in him? -NOPE
