I know this thread is about recruiting, and Finance, but would the people who created these be designing the KU uniforms?
Very few make $60,000,000 before they graduate. He was better than anyone I've ever seen at getting his own rebound and scoring.

@jaybate-1.0 You left off Incarnate Word.
@brooksmd His name sounds like a stomach malady when you pay too much for a diamond.:seat:
Think of the Pick-Up games going on in Lawrence next month between these guys and our present squad.
Oregon Had a choice of who they wanted to game plan against, not Josh, not Frank, no, - The Baby Faced Assassin. Click on the picturel
ESPN article today has NBA exec's rating the players to stay in school or go pro.
20 years old, 6'8", 3 conference Championships. Will he be back?
Watching the Twitter throughout the year between Devonte and Malik, I can see that Graham is riding Newman as hard as he did Josh. He and Malik were looking for bowling partners the other night. Malik won't face too many tougher guards this year than he faced in practice last year. He knows the system, and as a 5-star player, I hope he has the "Step on the neck" finishing ability that Frank had.
Udoka learned his D1 fundamentals from Lucas. Landen made up for his few inabilities with great fundamentals in setting screen, blocking out, and being in the right spot at the right time. From the new video, Doke could also use some of the Kevin McHale moves of Whitman.
Garret is lucky to have Cunliffe not playing until Christmas. He could pleasantly work his way into the rotation while waiting for the Wunderkind to take the court.
Many have said that Devonte or Malik will be the Big 12 POY's. Let's hope it's undecided until the last week.
@dylans I am also encouraged by this video. There is a little bit of Kevin McHale in his post moves, sort of a Collison lite. By that, I mean shorter and lighter than Nick. I still want Svi back if he's not drafted.
Self-compares himself to Coach Allen.

Are the Lawson brothers currently in Lawrence? Are they in the Gym and working with Hudy. Are they enrolled?
-
Will the transfer's play in Italy. Will they go with the team?
-
Will Hudy turn Lightfoot into a T-Rob clone? Will he redshirt? Will he play? Will he transfer?
-
With the exception of DuVall or Tilmon, is there any better option than to have a 4th year Svi return to the lineup? Cunliffe and Garret are not his equal, all things considered.
-
Will Colby's minutes increase after his NCAA showing? Will he sub for both Udoka and Preston? Will he be a starter if Udoka is injured again?
-
Will Cunliffe, who played 25 minutes a game for ASU and shot over 40% from the three, fully join the rotation at Christmas? He was also ranked 20 spots higher at his position than Garrett was at his.
-
Will KU be favored over Kentucky in the first game of the year? If we are, will El Poyo say it was because Kentucky sucks and that KU will never win it all because they never really play any good teams?
As a legacy the next coach will be...
Except for the Kentucky game, Practice will be harder than the preseason games. Will Charlie, Cunliffe and the Lawson's be able to go to Italy? I envy the wealthy KU fans who will be going to Rome and Milan with the team.
98 days till KU basketball.
Chris was introduced at Conner's Senior night.
Maybe he'll hit 4 straight 3'S against Mizzou in Allen Field House or play significant minutes in the National Championship game.

I would replace Valentine and Robisch with JoJo White and Bill Bridges.
Interesting pick for # 2 and the big surprise is #4. I agree with #4. This ranking is based solely on how they performed as Jayhawks and ignores any stardom afterward.
At the bottom of the article...
Do it.
@Lulufulu I did write out one and done.
Talking about the Defense in the West Virginia game and the Miracle finish, someone has made an 8-minute video that is chilling and spectacular. the first 4 minutes, you think you are watching another ESPN highlight film, In the middle, it turns into a documentary about the last few minutes. Thank you to the producer of this great video.
KCMO will not be affected by the Potty legislation, but Wichita will in 2018. More politicians have been arrested in bathroom's than transgender individuals.
He did sign a two year contract with the Griz.
Up until they lost in the tournament, Duke fans and Media apologist Knew that Duke was finally going to be a good team, they never got to that point. Neither did we. We have Bill Self and somehow we know that he will get the best out of each player that listens and wants to get better. Yes, in the past, he has been known as a stubborn man with a system, But with Devonte and another ball handler like Malik and Vick, we will be alright as the Bigs settle in. Maybe next year the defense will be as great in the first half as it always was last year in the final minutes of most Conference games. In all my many years of watching KU, I have never seen a defensive flurry like the last 3 minutes of the West Virginia game. We were fast but we were thin. In order to play with just the seven players, if there wasn't a fast break, the team took a breather as they walked with Frank to start the offense.
@justanotherfan How'd you get your deletion lines straighter than mine?
I've been watching the last six games of the year prior to the loss in the Elite 8. Before the tourney loss, KU was averaging over 90 points per game against UC-Davis, Michigan State and Purdue. The other three games on my DVR were Oklahoma at KU, TCU at KU and at Baylor. Oklahoma was ahead by 10 in the second half. TCU was ahead in the second half and we beat Baylor by one with a Landen Lucas free throw. Oklahoma got better last year with a young team that played almost the entire season without Woodard. They have added Trae Young and will be much better. TCU and Jamie Dixon have changed the status quo for Basketball in Texas. They have become the # 2 team in Texas behind Baylor. Dixon has already signed a 4 star Center and a 4 star Guard to go with Fisher and Brodziansky. Baylor will always have the tallest zone in the conference. Huggins teams are always full of coachable unknown 4 stars. The Big 12 this year was tougher than the two top teams in the Big 10. The Big 12 will be even better next year. Having said all that, What do we know about our team for next year.

Devonte and Vick are the only known commodities that we know will be back. We have to wait on Svi, and if he does return, he will make whatever we have, better.
Udoka was a monster against Duke, but that was really the only breakout that we were given a chance to see. We do know that he played in spurts but became tired after 3-4 minutes and had to sit. He missed most of being able to practice with one hand in a cast or unmoveable glove. He'll be stronger but did his development suffer?
Colby is our next known player that seemed to regain his legs during the NCAA Tournament when Self had completely given up on Bragg. He knows the offense and defense and his stamina and leg confidence will increase.
After that, we know that Malik Has played before, that he has great skill's and was a highly ranked High school shooting guard that wants to play point. Here is the rub. In the many, many games that KU played last year and were behind, it was Frank Mason that took over each game and willed us to win. Can Malik do that for us? Josh turned out to be the very best one and done ever to play at KU. We knew that after the Duke game.
Lightfoot, who was the High School POY in the state of Arizona was a teenage beanpole that could gain minutes. If he does, all credit for his success will have to go to Hudy. Hudy should get a lot more credit for many of last year's wins with our superior stamina at the end of each game.
Billy Preston looks like a good Freshman player that will add more rebounds to our line up. We've only seen videos, which has shown in some instances that he does have a similar temperament to that of Josh. Many on our site have expressed a fear that he might not qualify.
Garrett looks like someone who will get many minutes as a Freshman and we know he was the Texas High School player of the year, which makes us hope that Texas has better players than Arizona.
Then there will be Mr. Cunnlife who looks like a movie star, a Conner Teahan with greater earlier skills than the great Senior walk-on. There are other signee's probably, but once again that is the speculated unknown that we must go through as Jayhawk fans. Last year, we had a much better idea of how good we were going to be and had a greater misguided idea of how good the conference was going to be. I hope, like Korea, that the Italian games in Rome and Milan will be televised this summer.
@REHawk We just have to make sure those young whippersnappers get off our yard.
