[Saulbadguy]

...on a more serious note, I expect Blake Young, a 4* rated JUCO SG to commit later this week. That should complete the 06 class.

07, I think we will hear from Beasley and Pope very soon. OJ Mayo and Bill Walker won't say much, if anything, for quite awhile.

Scared? Of K State?

AAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA!!!!!!

Oh, ... you were serious, weren't you?

[arrowheadnation]

Me and my buddies saw this guy down at Aggieville the other night. I swear of his 7'3" frame, 1 foot of it is his neck. We just couldn't get over it. I'm sure he and Tyler Hughes will have some heated battles in practice this year.

I thought this was going to be an announcement of an arrest or something.

Yep. KU and Texas both look to be in great shape. OSU returns alot of young talent. K-State became instantly better. I bet Tech will be better. Baylor will be good. A&M will be good.

ISU, NU, CU? ISU hired a mid-major coach with mid-major recruiting prowess, NU and CU kept their shitty coaches. Mizzou made a good hire but it might take a little time. OU hasn't even hired a coach yet, although sources say it may be Karl Hobbs from GW.

Wow. He's not from Angola or the Congo?

[arrowheadnation]

See what I mean. He's 7'2" on paper, but take away a foot of neck and he's 6'9"-6'10"

[Saulbadguy]

Some outlets are listing him at 7'3. Others 7'1. I think he has the frame of a 7'1 guy.

I think that 9-10 inches of that height is in that "Go-Go Gadget Neck".

I was just noticing that in his picture, that neck almost looks photoshopped.

Long Neck Goose........


To the Kitty fans who are purr'n about KU being scared ? You like to Dream BIG don't you.

As for the signee ...... Nice, get some more talent to go with him.

[Skip Towne]

I always like to see who else was interested in a signee. From what I've read there was only one other (unnamed) school.

[The Bad Guy]

nah, a good friend is a Duke fan and I always have to hear him spew his shit about the ACC :|

It's not shit when he's telling the truth.

The ACC and Big East are far better than the Big 12.

Alabama, Auburn, and Michigan.

Alabama, Auburn, and Michigan.
No Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky or Kansas. They must recruit 8 star recruits.

I guess so. This 2006 class may only include the #23 player rated in the nation and the #8 and #16 JUCO players in the nation. Kinda weak. Next years class could consist of the #1, 2, 3, 5, 7 players in the country. Thats the kind of excellence we should be getting here in MHK.

Sure it is. Like you've EVER gotten ANY highly sought after recruit.

[arrowheadnation]

I think he's still going to KSU, but the K-state rivals site is saying that his commitment may not be as solid as it was this morning. It says his parents want to talk to him about it before he makes a decision.

Wrong again, Skip. :)

[Imon Yourside]

Project player, keep in mind King Kaun was rated higher coming out of high school and he was less of a project. I hear he can block 5-11 hi school players shots, quite a step up for the kitties.

[Saulbadguy]

At this time Kaun was rated a bit lower. After the new rankings come out soon, they will be about the same. This guy is pretty much a center who will provide us with much needed size on the inside. We already picked up a decent post scorer in Kenny Williams. Now if we could only get Clarence Holloway...

[arrowheadnation]

Just my $.02, but this guy is just screaming, "ERIC CHENOWITH!!!!!!!!"

[Imon Yourside]

Sure it is. Like you've EVER gotten ANY highly sought after recruit.

Althought the non sequiters are a weak touch.

He was a good player. Too bad his career at K-State has to be defined by one bonehead play.

[WilliamTheIrish]

I thought this was going to be an announcement of an arrest or something.

There was. KU fullback Bruce Ringwood assaulted his roomate. You remember him. He was the guy who beat up two 50+ year old folks at Kemper Arena last summer at C/W concert.

Your FF's are prehistoric. There were only 8 teams in the tourney at the time.

[DJay23]

Fantastic. Now win something so I'll care.

Prehistoric? You may be right. You were the only person on this board alive when they happened, Og.

I think you're right. The latest was in what? 1950? And the rest even older I think.

1964. Lost to UCLA 90-84 in the semi's. You were alive for that, Og.

Skip relayed the results of those games via Pony Express.

I heard Beasley is closer to signing with Charlotte than anything.

I've heard that from his mother.

Everyone else, i've heard he will pick Kansas State. I guess we will have to wait and see.

If TH is involved, I'd guess the battle would be short lived.

Hes such a piece of shit with a major attitude problem. Good LB at Blue Springs HS though.

5* rated Center Jason Bennett commits to Kansas State

k-state notebook
Bennett still undecided
7-3 hoops recruit will choose between Cats and Auburn
By HOWARD RICHMAN
The Kansas City Star

There are conflicting reports on the status of Kansas State basketball recruit Jason Bennett, a 7-foot-3 center.

Bennett’s high school coach at Jacksonville, Fla., Arlington Country Day, Rex Morgan, told The St ar on Monday that Bennett has not made his final decision on whether he will attend K-State or Auburn.

That contradicts a GoPowercat.com report in which Bennett’s AAU coach, Art Alvarez, said it was a done deal between Bennett and K-State. Bennett can’t sign his letter of intent until Wednesday, the first day of the spring signing period.

“It’s not true,” Morgan said. “Art may have gotten it confused. I talked with Jason (Monday), and he hasn’t decided. His (Bennett’s) father saw the report, and he was surprised.”

Alvarez, reached by The Star on Monday, abruptly ended the conversation when asked about Bennett by saying he “was in a meeting” and hung up.

On Sunday, Rivals.com scout Jerry Meyer said he expected Bennett would choose K-State because of coach Bob Huggins, who’d received an oral commitment from Bennett while he was coaching at Cincinnati.

[Skip Towne]

So this means the Bob Huggins era hasn't officially begun? Just Saul jumping the gun again?

See post #38.

I still think he will commit to K-State. If he doesn't, oh well, and best of luck to him wherever he goes. It kind of makes me wonder when we are recruiting 4 or 5 players but only have 2 scholarships open.

You know Curtis Allen is transferring. Also, I have heard that Tyler Hughes may be hitting the trails, along with either Stewart and/or Yearby. fyi

With K-State's recruiting failure rate of 89.6%, they need about 10 candidates for the two scholies.

Wouldn't mind seeing Allen and Stewart leaving, although I think Stewart is a servicable PG. Yearby had potential at the end of the year, but with his Kelso gone, he may be gone with him.

[leviw]

We're talking about Bob Huggins here. He's going to shoot it to these guys straight, I'm guessing. With the type of talent (4 and 5 stars) he can bring in right now, if the players like Allen (already realized it, apparently), Yearby, Hughes, Stewart, Kent, etc., etc., can't realize that they will be lucky to sniff the court next season, I'm sure Huggy won't have any problem letting them know where they stand. He can do that by going after three or four guys when only two scholarships are available. This is Huggins' new proving ground, and I don't think he wants to waste even one season with NAIA talent like those four. And who can blame him?

I think Bennett signs with KSU tomorrow.

Of course, as you know, I've been wrong before.

[ChiTown]

I think Bennett signs with KSU tomorrow.

Of course, as you know, I've been wrong before.

The only thing pulling at him not to sign with KSU is his Dad. It's legit. I'd want to be able to travel and see my Son play whenever possible. Playing in the SEC allows for him to do that at a much higher rate. Playing in the B12 requires a lot more travel for his Dad.

Good luck to the kid wherever he ends up...................which I honestly believe will be in Manhattan.

[Al Czervik]

Dude is 7-3 and average 12 points a game????

Mr. Bennett, meet Mr. Ostertag......

Sounds like Bennett couldnt hit ground if he was a skydiver.....

I'd say he has a 7'1 frame. He is probably 7'3 due to his neck, literally.

12 points a game isn't bad considering he has at least 2 other D-1 signees on his HS team. He won't be a scorer, either. He is a shot blocker, and a rebounder, first.

[Coogs]

So is it Auburn or KSU?
