We went Home-Home with Kansas in those first couple years. That is very strange. Maybe it's related to the Champions Classic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 Satellite camp came to town today! Nolan is there at the foot of PJ Washington to the right in the picture. He had an absolute blast. My wife had to take him because I didn't feel I could shut down the office this afternoon, but I can't wait to hear his stories tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhom Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 UK signs Stanford grad transfer Reid Travis I'm generally not a fan of the grad transfer rule, but I also am not dumb enough to turn down an experienced guy who averaged almost 20/game in a power conference. Of course... it is the PAC 12 so I use the term "power" loosely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more okay with it in this situation with Power schools involved on both ends, but I generally don't like the optics of big schools trolling for mid major players to fill out their roster.

And why do you not like underrecruited kids who have taken care of business in the classroom and graduated getting the chance to fulfill a dream playing big time college basketball for a major program?

Rhom Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 @RedEyedGhost want me to call up the kids in Africa we sent our 40-0 shirts to and see if we can get them back for you? Kansas won't just go 40-0, but "they will mow over the competition. Let's face it, anything less will be a huge disappointment for Kansas basketball." Bold statement with Michigan State in the Champion's Classic and a trip to Rupp on the schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sperry Posted July 10, 2018 Share Posted July 10, 2018 Kansas feels like a team that will roll through the regular season and then bow out of the tournament early. A lot of big men clogging the lane and relying on freshman guards. That's a recipe for an upset in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the opposite - that there's very little collusion between the teams and the shoe companies on this. I think the shoe companies looked at who their brand colleges were recruiting and targeted those kids that were already sponsored to go to those schools or kids they felt could be swayed by their shady handlers.

They don't. Kansas, as have all of the teams who have been signing the truly elite shoe-company tied recruits, has dirty hands. But absolutely nothing is going to happen, as has been proved countless times. North Carolina hoops is the ultimate example of this. The NCAA doesn't have any enforcement power against teams that are revenue generators. They can come down on the Ole Miss's of the world, but not teams that actually matter. That's even moreso the case in basketball, where most of the NCAA's revenue is tied to the NCAA tourney. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah KU basketball should really try to emulate the more respectable college programs, like OU football. That would turn us into a shining beacon of... well, whatever.

Kevin Knox appears to be yet another Kentucky guy who was squandered by Cal mismanaging him. Knox came to UK to play on the wing and Cal let him. Knox’s biggest problem was always consistency. You would have a game like West Virginia where he pretty much single handedly won the game and then you had games like KState where he just disappeared down the stretch. I think his game translates well to the NBA and as he matures as a player he will develop and grow into the aggressive mentality he needs to be successful. I don’t think Cal holds guys back, but I won’t lie... when you have more talent than every team in the country but one or two; I think you should be running non stop. Cal has a tendency to let teams play early in the season and then try to reel them into more disciplined “tourney teams.” That has obviously worked pretty well, but I can’t help but remember how dominant Fox-Monk-Briscoe-Adebayo looked early in the year against a decent ASU team only to struggle through the SEC.

If you flat out aren't going to enforce the rules, then why sit around while your competition breaks them? It's an indictment of the toothless NCAA, not the individual programs. Ending one and done may take care of it, as the players who are getting paid are the guys who will skip college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
