They all "left" of their own volition. Even JR Giddens' transfer to New Mexico was publicly a "mutual decision." Only Giles has been dismissed from the team.

@K_Ctmd22: @BigJah22 @Tyusjones06 #KUCMB #BucketTeam lets get it

Kelly's tweet to Okafor and Jones who are gonna be a package deal wherever they go. Jones retweeted it.

I think we are arguing the same thing. I just think Padgett was legit.

This is correct. I believe early on that Adams quietly declined to redshirt. He believed he was better than he really was. He was a big dog in high school, and it was hard for him to adjust. He is also a young kid who made poor decisions.

That requires a cable subscription...

Not even mid october and the ku basketball thread is bumped ahead of the ku football thread

I'm looking to hire a high quality construction company for an upcoming job, are there any you would care to recommend?

Giddens left voluntarily? Comedy gold there.

Quintrell is 6-5, gmab. Padgett was wanted so that doesn't work. Downs a "power forward"????? Lol, guy was a twig jump shooter. I'll give you Peters, I forgot him. That's a legit big guy Self ran off.

Don't forget Royce Woolridge.

and yet here you are ...

Quintrell ended up at UNLV, not exactly division II.

Self wanted to play Downs at forward, but downs wanted to play guard so he could get to the league.

Thats his point - they all leave "voluntarily" or "mutually" according to the press releases.

LOL

Bitchslap Billay

It's PB, what did you expect?

Just want to say this again.

@rustindodd: KU announces a home-and-home basketball series with UNLV, beginning in 2014-15 at Allen Fieldhouse. Return game is in '16-17

The reason for the year off is we play at San Diego State in 15-16; scheduling conflict.

Vegas is prime recruiting ground. Nice move.

Not even mid October and you're trolling the KU basketball thread.

UNLV is landing and in on some real good recruits. What's up with that?

They have history. It's not like they're Nebraska or something.

They're not a shit team and some real big recruits come out of Las Vegas. They're a decent sometimes good team in a shit conference.

CBS has released it's top 100 players for this season with the Big 12 sitting at the top.

http://www.cbssports.com/collegebask...op-100-players

I still can't believe Smart didn't declare.

And McDermott at #3? WUT

I hate that Craft is #8 there.

McGary should be higher based on what we saw him do in the postseason.

What the **** is he going to do with the new perimeter touching rules?

Hmmm. Perry Ellis?

Was Perry Ellis really not on this list, or did I just overlook it?

Not there, Parrish has a woody for Frosh. I would bet that Perry is probably top 10.

Ellis really hasn't done anything to deserve being on the list (although I guess you could argue the same for a lot of those freshmen). He was unquestionably terrible for much of last season until the very end when he finally broke free of his shell.

If there's a list of the mid-season variety this winter, though, I suspect he'll be there. And quite high.

Get fouled out and watch his OSU team lose repeatedly, I hope.

Basketball needs to ****ing get here already.

Less than two weeks, right?

****ing A.....

12 Days....10/29 vs. Pitt St.

****. I thought that assnugget graduated. Goddamn it. I don't want to listen to the ****ing media talk about him. Mother****er, you ruined my day.

Hack. What else can he do? And it probably still won't get called.

Basketball is almost here - but only if you have Time Warner.

Who gives a shit about craft? We beat that rosy cheeked little asshole.

Gee, thanks for the reminder. :banghead::cuss::banghead:

That doesn't mean that I can endure the hours and hours and hours and hours and hours of those jackass mother****ers talking about how "tough" he is. And when he jacks up some shot with 3rd grader form and it happens to go in, we'll have to hear about how "clutch" he is. It's basically a lesser Handsjob treatment. But he may eventually get there, he's got another ****ing year :banghead:.

Zenger's going to be amazed by the wave of anger about to head his way.

Calipari, though, also plans to utilize Randle on the perimeter, where he can handle the ball and score from 3-point range, which is something he'll be asked to do in the NBA.

"If I wanted to just win college games and that's all I was about, I'd be playing him under the basket," Calipari said. "But I'm trying to prepare him for where's he's going to be after college."

What the **** kind of shit is that?

We're so lucky Bill can get kids drafted AND win basketball games. Maybe if Calipari had the same approach, he wouldn't have lost to Robert Morris.

Me and the hundreds of thousands of fans who live outside of Kansas will be sending a wave of thanks.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY what Kentucky fans want to hear.

What a shitshow that school is.

Right, but you're out-numbered about 100 to 1.

There are 100 to 1 KU grads living inside the state as opposed to outside of? I seriously doubt that.

Watching midnight madness they showed Uconn scrimmage. Mixed with the men's and women's teams playing together. Cannot imagine anyone watching that hot garbage

wow that's really awful.

**** you :(

Yup, me too. It's nice that I can finally watch these games I have been missing.

Need to updated teh OP with the schedule...

Anyone make it to the open scrimmage today?

I was hoping for some video from someone....have to look towards the phog.net i guess.

I'm old enough to remember when Uconn was a respectable program. A half full midnight madness with mixed scrimmage is the latest sign of disaster there.


10k at the open scrimmage according to Dodd. Maybe they'd get 16k if they'd only let the women play along

**** Calipari...

"We are college basketball... we are the Superbowl."

**** you.

http://espn.go.com/mens-college-bask...g-blue-madness

LMAO that's comical.

Robert Morris won the Superbowl?

Terrible linking on my iPad.

They have scrimmage highlights up on YouTube.

Im liking what I am seeing from Mason.

Thanks for that!

No problem.

Those hillbilly tards just lap it up. Last year never happened, the NCAA was weak that's why Louisville won it (one might ask why Kentucky sucked so bad in a down year but whatever), wiggins was the best recruit sincel Lebron until he chose Kansas now he is overhyped and Randle is clearly better, gonna go 40-0, on and on.


Cal and that fanbase could not possibly be better for each other.

You hit on a good point. Not only the UK fans, but a lot of national media pundits were high as a kite on Wiggins until he chose KU. KU is a national powerhouse but they wanted nothing more than for Wiggins to complete the "super team" at UK for their media erections.

Exactly. And they're mad that Kansas stole so much of their thunder by grabbing him. The SI cover sent those freaks into a convulsion.


I recorded the Late Night special from last nite and am watching Cals speech. He's on a raised podium with the lights off, a spotlight shining on him, while 24k crazies hang on every word. It looks like a 3rd world dictatorship

Jabari Parker looked incredible on the Late NIght coverage of Duke's scrimmage. 24 points and an incredible baseline spin move capped off by a reverse slam over a post guy. Wiggins is going to have his hands full with this guy for sure in a couple weeks.

That move by Parker was amazing.

But lets see what the rest of the team can bring.

8 days and counting till Kansas basketball tips off I am so pumped! This Kansas team is going to be scary good! ROCKCHALK! :KU:

Some dude did that to my rec league team yesterday, including the baseline spin and reverse jam. Right in front of my face.

I used to think he was a Duke lock, but actually I have heard from some of my sources that we are now the lead to land Jones and Okafor :thumb:

Here's Smart's take on the state of Wigginsmania.

"They are saying he is the best college player there is and he has not even played a game yet," Smart told USA TODAY Sports. "Of course that hypes me up. It is all talk. He still has to put his shorts on one leg at a time like I do. It is all potential. I am not saying he can't do it. But he has not done it yet."
...
At 6-foot-4, Smart wants nothing more than an opportunity to guard the sinewy 6-8 Wiggins.
"Definitely," Smart says. "I am not going to back down from any challenge. Like I said, you are going to have to prove to me. I am a fighter; I will keep fighting and will never give up."

Cute OKie State. Don't poke the giants.

Don't shoot me because I don't follow recruiting much and I have no idea who Ryan James is......However, I pulled this from Phog.


Ryan James ‏@RyanJamesMN 22h
After Kansas visit Tyus Jones wearing a Kansas shirt at fall league. I can hear predictions changing and MBs going wild, over a tshirt.

In my world, recruits wearing gear from the school they just visited is like someone sporting a "Hard Rock Cafe Orlando" shirt when they get home from their Florida vacation.

Justise Winslow is like this. He's an attention whore. He'll Instagram pics of his KU shorts he's wearing at the pool, then another day he'll post a pic of himself wearing an AZ shirt along with a catchy caption that accompanies each pic, etc. He's done it for every school interested in him. He might as well go to UK lol.

He's right, though. The hype around Wiggins is enormous and it's going to create some enormous pressure on him.

And don't forget, Smart also backed up those words last year when he actually won at AFH.

Screw Smart that stupid thug! He did back up his words at Allen Fieldhouse, but we punked him in his house last year! We weren't going to stoop to his level of doing a flip on there court like he did ours. I know there is pressure on the kid, but don't poke the bear Smart because you might not like the results.
