He was gone long before then.

@DannyParkins: Bill Self on the Drive just now: "We don't have all our guys in line yet, at least I hope we don't." Andrew Wiggins anyone?

[Chiefs Pantalones]

@DannyParkins: Self basically came on the air and said, and I'm paraphrasing here, 'Don't worry, we'll be damn good again next year. Peace.'

There's still no way I'm getting my hopes up on this one. If Cal pulls out all the stops to get Wiggins (and we know what those are), it's hard to see him choosing anywhere else but UK.

Pretty much. Burberry clothes and a nice new Rolex for Wiggins is on the way. Just like he did for Randle.

True... but any tiny inkling that remained was smashed.

[teedubya]

I thought we'd get Julius Randle before we'd get Wiggins. It seemed to me that Wiggins wasn't too excited during his official visit. I hope I'm wrong, though.

[Chief_For_Life58]

so bill has three scholarships to give out still correct?

[Fansy the Famous Bard]

Yep, we only have 5 scholarship players returning in Tharpe, White, Traylor, Lucas, and Ellis.

5 incoming, with 3 left over to make 13.

KU is reportedly interested in Tarik Black who recently graduated from Memphis and is eligible to play ASAP.

6'9" 260 post player.

I wouldn't be opposed to snagging him with only one year of eligibility left.

I can give you the low down. Big guy, mediocre at everything. Not terrible, not great. He was the primary big for Memphis the last couple of years. He was the preseason POY in CUSA, but clearly didn't live up to that. He tends to get in foul trouble, doesn't rebound like you'd expect from a guy that big (5 boards/game) and is just ok in the post defensively. Offensively, he's not without some ability to score around the basket, but he doesn't shoot outside of 4 feet and he's an awful FT shooter.

He was voted team captain, yet, surprisingly missed a game or two early in the season with some type of attitude issue. Word was he was thinking of quitting/transferring at that point, but came back. From that point forward, he was first big off the bench (instead of starting) behind Shaq Goodwin, but still played 25 or so minutes a game.

By all accounts he's a good guy. He's bright (graduated in 3 years) and he won't hurt the team that gets him. Just don't expect too much.
