[Pitt Gorilla]

I think Missouri will fall once more of the big dogs commit to other teams, but they should remain Top 20 or so.

However, Rivals put two MU players in the Top 5 signees in the Big XII by position. Rivals calls Pressey the top point guard signee in the Big 12, while Tony Mitchell is the top small forward.

[Pants]

Shit ain't done yet.

[Stanley Nickels]

But we Missouri fans can savor the moment, however brief it may be :)

[teedubya]

This is kinda like a Final Four for Missouri, right?

[Reaper16]

Pastner for President.

[Reaper16]

Pastner for President.
Mike Anderson for co-President. Tiger Time!

[KChiefs1]

Just pointing out the obvious...Mike Anderson can recruit.

[Infidel Goat]

go Deacs!

[baitism]

Anyone know the status of Tiller?

[kstater]

Don't most of the top recruits sign in the Spring signing period?

[KevB]

Don't most of the top recruits sign in the Spring signing period?

A few, but not most this year.

[T-post Tom]

KU should move up substantially when they land Knight, Shelby or Lamb.

[Mizzou_8541]

KU should move up substantially when they land Knight, Shelby or Lamb.

You mean if KU lands Knight, Shelby or Lamb? In case you haven't noticed, ku athletics isn't exactly stable right now.

[DaKCMan AP]

KU should move up substantially when they land Knight, Shelby or Lamb.

Florida is a huge player for Brandon Knight. If the Gators land him they'll have a top-5 class.

[Mr. Laz]

You mean if KU lands Knight, Shelby or Lamb? In case you haven't noticed, ku athletics isn't exactly stable right now.
WTF?

what do you mean not stable ... because of Mangino?

That is hardly "KU Athletics"

[Mizzou_8541]

WTF?

what do you mean not stable ... because of Mangino?

That is hardly "KU Athletics"

Have you already forgotten about "the fights?"

Mangino is just another chapter.

[jjchieffan]

Just pointing out the obvious...Mike Anderson can recruit.

SO could Quin Snyder. That man brought in some really talented guys. Too bad he couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag.

[baitism]

Have you already forgotten about "the fights?"

Mangino is just another chapter.

I don't think KU will have any problems landing top basketball talent.

[BWillie]

You mean if KU lands Knight, Shelby or Lamb? In case you haven't noticed, ku athletics isn't exactly stable right now.

KU will land one of these guys guaranteed. I really think Brandon Knight is going to come to KU or Kentucky. But I fear after John Calipari puts a 3rd one and done point guard in a row in the lottery it won't be enough for us.

[Mr. Laz]

Have you already forgotten about "the fights?"

Mangino is just another chapter.oh please

1. switching football coaches has ZERO,ZERO to do with basketball
2. those fights are nothing but a blimp. meaningless as long as they don't fight anymore.

[Mizzou_8541]

oh please

1. switching football coaches has ZERO,ZERO to do with basketball
2. those fights are nothing but a blimp. meaningless as long as they don't fight anymore.

Tell Harrison Barnes that the fights are nothing more than a "blimp."

[Saulbadguy]

oh please

1. switching football coaches has ZERO,ZERO to do with basketball
2. those fights are nothing but a blimp. meaningless as long as they don't fight anymore.

How myopic.

[Spicy McHaggis]

Tell Harrison Barnes that the fights are nothing more than a "blimp."

I'm a KU guy but I never had any doubts Barnes was going to UNC. I don't think the fights had much to do with it.

[KC_Connection]

You mean if KU lands Knight, Shelby or Lamb? In case you haven't noticed, ku athletics isn't exactly stable right now.
KU football isn't stable. That has nothing to do with Self's ability to recruit.

[KC_Connection]

Tell Harrison Barnes that the fights are nothing more than a "blimp."
Are you suggesting that Barnes didn't go to KU because a couple of players got into a meaningless fight? Seriously?

We weren't favored to get him weeks before those fights even occurred.

[Mizzou_8541]

Are you suggesting that Barnes didn't go to KU because a couple of players got into a meaningless fight? Seriously?

Yes, at least partially. And I'm not the only one suggesting it.

[irishjayhawk]

Have you already forgotten about "the fights?"

Mangino is just another chapter.

I'm betting you were one of those who called into Mix 93 to talk about Mangino's situation.

Most absurd-stupid I've ever heard. It was making my ears bleed and my mind seriously hurt itself.

[Sweet Daddy Hate]

KU football is imploding. That has nothing to do with Self's ability to recruit.

fxd!

You listen to Mix 93. Your ears are already damaged beyond repair

Not my choice. Place of work played it over the speakers. Otherwise I wouldn't ever listen to it.

But it made talk radio's crazies look relatively sane.

You like to get your Amy Grant on; don't deny it.

[KChiefs1]

You have blimp in your post...I'm sure you meant blip but just seeing the word blimp makes me think of Mangino. I know juvenile but still kinda funny.

Dan Patrick was all over Mangino today...he replayed his interview with him from 2007 when they talked about his weight holding him down from getting a head coaching job.

[ohiobronco2]

Man, the one and done rule really pisses me off. I can only imagine how great OSU's program would be if they were able to keep that talent for a couple of years. Conley, Oden, Koufas, Cook, Mullens, Turner, Lauderdale, Hunter, and Buford. I know that all programs deal with this, but it seems as though this is all that Thad Matta recruits.

[KcMizzou]

Not my choice. Place of work played it over the speakers. Otherwise I wouldn't ever listen to it.

But it made talk radio's crazies look relatively sane.96.5 is worse. I never listen to 93.3, but it has to be. 98.9 sports talk is retarded too, but they're the best of the FM bunch. (Dare's seggment with Leif Lisec - Sports in your Shorts)

That said, I'd rather listen to any of those tards talk sports than Roger Twibel. He's still pissed of that his golfing buddy CP got fired.

I do like Steven St. John's show.

At least on a Sports show the host usually moderates the discussion in some sort of sane way - weighing the credibility of what's being said. On Mix today, there was so much stupid and misinformation that it could have filled an encyclopedia. And no moderation - just pure soapbox.

The ACC was the clear winner of the conferences during the early signing period. Seven teams from the conference rank among the top 25 recruiting classes in 2010, and 21 nationally ranked players signed with a school from the ACC.

Rivals.com recruiting analyst Jerry Meyer breaks down and rank the recruiting efforts of each conference for the early signing period.

Rivals ranks the Early Signing Period:

1. ACC
2. SEC
3. BIG EAST
4. BIG TEN
5. BIG 12





</TD></TR><TR><TD id=chatter>http://vmedia.rivals.com/images/stats/logos/big12_conflogos.gif
The Big 12 gained a third team in the national rankings during the early signing period when five-star forward Tony Mitchell (http://missouri.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=84314) signed with Missouri. The Tigers, which also have four-star point guard Phil Pressey (http://missouri.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=68341), are the top team in the conference. Texas A&M (No. 2 in the conference) and Baylor (No. 3 in the conference) are also ranked nationally. The Aggies have a bevy of big men on the way, and Baylor has elite power forward Perry Jones (http://missouri.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=65889) headlining its class. Oklahoma and Oklahoma State just missed a national ranking but have strong classes. Texas also signed a five-star big man, Tristan Thompson (http://missouri.rivals.com/viewprospect.asp?Sport=2&pr_key=68694), as its only recruit.

[DJ's left nut]

I still think Steve Moore will be what makes our 2010/2011 season.

If he can get himself in shape, he has the tools to replace some of the physical presence we lost with Carroll.

If not, we're still undertalented in the front-court.

[KcMizzou]

If not, we're still undertalented in the front-court.I expect we'll take a step back this season. (Same thing I said about football season) The Big XII is stacked this year. But I love the direction CMA is taking the program.. and the recruits he's pulling in.

The style Anderson runs... gives you a shot to beat anyone. It's tough as hell to deal with...

So, I figure Mizzou will have a pretty decent team. Pull off a couple of upsets, and make the tourney again. Anything after that is gravy.

That'd be a good season, In my mind.

[BWillie]

You mean if KU lands Knight, Shelby or Lamb? In case you haven't noticed, ku athletics isn't exactly stable right now.

HAHAHAHAHA. Come on. If KU doesn't land one of these guys I won't post for a month. KU FOOTBALL isn't stable - KU basketball is fine, has always been fine, and is what always was.

[Skip Towne]

The rival fans who think the Mangino situation will benefit them need only to look back to KU losing Roy Williams. The really dumb ones thought it would bring KU down. But, in fact, they got an even better coach. And another national title. Perkins may have a surprise waiting for us.

Agreed, 09/10 will be a re-building year. We'll need guys like Miguel Paul, Denmon and Dixon (especially) to emerge as better leaders throughout the season (learning under Tiller and Taylor).

Then in 10/11 with a backcourt led by Pressy and Dixon (backed by some solid veteran leaders in Paul/Denmon), a frontcourt centered around Moore/Bowers/English (with Mitchell as a very dangerous reserve), MU should be pretty dangerous.

It's a fun ballclub.

[Brock]

Congrats to Mizzou, but I have to laugh out loud at some of the stupidity on exhibit here.

Uhh the difference is that KU has a storied history in basketball and was able to attract top candidates for the opening. Also, Roy Williams did not leave amid controversy.

Kansas football has absolutely no history and the best coach in the programs history is likely being ousted amid a smear campaign. Yeah i'm sure Bum****, Kansas is a real big draw for top coaching candidates. And while I have no knowledge of my own on the subject, based on the posts of others in this thread Lew Perkins does not have a very good history with hiring football coaches.

Perkins may have a surprise waiting for you guys? I seriously doubt it.

Ok your right about the Lawrence part. I was just searching for insults. I actually enjoy Lawrence and was just there on Saturday hitting up the bars.

But the rest of the points in my original post still stand.

[Braincase]

The rival fans who think the Mangino situation will benefit them need only to look back to KU losing Roy Williams. The really dumb ones thought it would bring KU down. But, in fact, they got an even better coach. And another national title. Perkins may have a surprise waiting for us.

If the KU supporters were able to pay Mangino enough to make him the 16th highest paid coach in the country, I'm guessing a replacement from 17-35 highest paid coaches might be open-minded to taking a long look at KU. Urban Meyer didn't start at Florida. It's just a matter of finding the right coach.

[kepp]

SO could Quin Snyder. That man brought in some really talented guys. Too bad he couldn't coach his way out of a paper bag.

And that has what to do with anything?

[Swanman]

Injecting some Illini love amongst the KU and Mizzou folks. Illinois could possibly end up stacking three very good recruiting classes together for the 09/10/11 classes. With a good x and o guy like Weber at the helm, consistent top 20 classes will get the program far.

[kepp]

HAHAHAHAHA. Come on. If KU doesn't land one of these guys I won't post for a month.

"Dear, God...you know I don't ask for much, but..."

A conference-by-conference look at who had the best recruiting classes after the early signing period.




<HR>


Big 12 Conference (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/conference?confId=8)

http://a.espncdn.com/i/teamlogos/ncaa/sml/trans/142.gif

Best class: Missouri (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/school?schoolId=142)
Players signed: 4
Top player: PG Phil Pressey (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=44099) (Dallas/Episcopal School). He is the perfect point guard for the Tigers' style of play because he is always in attack mode. Pressey can not only score and distribute, but also apply intense ball pressure.
Why it's the best: Coach Mike Anderson not only added the player ranked 31st in the ESPNU 100 in Pressey, but found another great piece to the puzzle in skilled power forward Tony Mitchell (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=45473) (Dallas/L.G. Pinkston), who sits at No. 57. Anderson also added a big-time shooter in local star Ricky Kreklow (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=97968) (Columbia, Mo./Rock Bridge) and a shot-blocking presence in power forward Kadeem Green (http://insider.espn.go.com/ncb/recruiting/tracker/player?recruitId=44438) (Markham, Ont., Canada/Charlotte [N.C.] United Faith Christian Academy).
