This year has shown me that WSU fans are just as bad as I remembered and I should go back to ignoring them.

Myles Turner will visit March 5th for the TT game.

[Kiimo]

ESPN..

Strengths:
Turner is a center with excellent size. He is long, athletic and runs the floor well and on a consistent basis. He is an excellent at facing the basket in the low post, trialing on the break and in screen and roll situations where he is a threat to known down open shots when set. Turner has a great touch off the glass when he faces on the angle. Turner also is a mobile shot blocker on the ball or coming to the rescue from the weak side. Turner is a willing and able passer who also will not hesitate to screen to help a teammate get open. He is a decent rebounder and a tip in threat on the offensive glass. Turner is in pretty good shape and plays with energy, urgency and competes on every possession. Turner a seems to be a good teammate as well.

Weaknesses:
Turner has great size but will need to continue to add strength in order to be able to consistently deal with the physical play of the low post. He will also need to work on his back to the basket low post moves and rebound at a high rate at times.

Bottom Line:
Turner has all the tools. He is a great face up shooter to 19 feet. He can also score very well on the low block with either hand. He is a very good shot-blocker and a solid rebounder. He can be a little stiff at times and needs to get stronger but is currently a top 10 player in the 2014 class and that may be too low.


Rivals...

A classic late-bloomer, Turner emerged in the summertime. A growth spurt between his sophomore and junior years to go along with rapid skill development make him a high end prospect. He blocks shots, has outstanding touch as a pick and pop jump shooter and has a big frame. He can run but is sometimes a little stiff laterally.

Scout...

STRENGTHS
Length
Shot-Blocker
Upside/Potential

AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT
Strength

Turner's height and more importantly reach enable him to control games defensively. He has shut down some of the country's best interior scorers, using his length and timing to swat and alter shots. But he's no one-trick horse. Turner possesses a diverse and highly skilled offensive package that makes him a complete player. He shoots well from the short- and medium-ranges, uses the backboard effectively and even hits a few threes.

[Prison Bitch]

I saw Myles play earlier this year, he reminds me a lot of CJ Giles, only with a brain. CJ could've been an NBA player.....if he only hadda brain.

[Braincase]

And regarding the sports dorms that some folks were fretting over... looks like they're going to get privately funded.

KU receives gift to begin Phase 1 of Fieldhouse Apartments project

McCarthy family recognized during KU-OU basketball game

Kansas University alumni Kent and Missy McCarthy have donated the lead gift for the financing of Phase 1 of the Fieldhouse Apartments project at KU.


Kansas Athletics recognized the gift during the first media timeout at Monday night’s KU men’s basketball game vs. Oklahoma. The McCarthys were joined in Allen Fieldhouse by Kent’s father, Charles, and their children — Molly, Annie and Charlie.
The apartments, which will house the men’s basketball team and an equal number of distinguished non-student-athletes, will be built on Naismith Drive, just south of Allen Fieldhouse.



The apartments will be named for Kent’s late mother, Marie S. McCarthy. Born in 1929, Marie grew up on a farm in central Kansas during the dust bowl days of the 1930’s. She attended KU on a math scholarship – a rarity for women in that era.
“My mother loved everything about the University of Kansas and the State of Kansas,” Kent McCarthy said in a press release. “She never missed watching a KU basketball game. My father Charles, who thankfully is still with us, and Marie were married for 62 years, and I think the only thing ‘Grams’ loved more than Kansas basketball was being a grandmother.”


McCarthy said he and Missy appreciate the efforts of Kansas Athletics and KU Chancellor Bernadette Gray-Little for their help getting the project off the ground.

"We are honored to kick off the campaign for this project,” he said. “We strongly believe this endeavor will help keep the Kansas basketball brand among the strongest in the country, and will be an appropriate benefit for the student-athletes who do so much for the University and the State of Kansas.”


The McCarthys have been generous donors to the University of Kansas for many years. Earlier this year they committed $1.25 million to KU’s School Business. In 1988 Kent, a graduate of the KU School of Business, started – and has since helped fund – the Applied Portfolio Management (APM) class at KU, which gives students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with investment decisions.


Earlier Monday, KU basketball coach Bill Self expressed his appreciation to the McCarthys.


“Kent and Missy’s generosity has made a huge difference at our university, and it will also help keep Kansas basketball a national leader,” Self said in the release. “We have the best venue, and we will have the best housing. I see a world of positive in this project as we strive to maintain and even exceed what the Kansas basketball program has been achieving. We renovated Allen Fieldhouse, the locker rooms and the offices. We built an academic center and a practice facility. Housing is an important component as well.


“These things are very, very significant for the benefit, development and overall experience of our student-athletes,” Self continued. “We want them to be comfortable and have the same type of living conditions as the programs we're recruiting against.”


KU athletic director Sheahon Zenger said the project plays an important role in KU's ongoing effort to ensure that its men’s basketball program remains among the best in the nation.

No. It can't house just schollied athletes. It has to be a 51\49% split? So some kids who play ball and likely comes from a lowerbsocio-economic backgrounds get be housed with kids whose parents can afford to pay the freight on those apartments. which I would imagine ain't going to be real cheap.

Which is kind of neat actually.

Kentucky built a nice one that opened this year I think.
