Will we win the conference again ? We will have a very talented, but young team.

He basically lost the game vs. UNI with bad shots/mistakes, so applying the thinking of several here, we should hate him forever. Of course to do that, you would have to completely ignore all of the great things he accomplished with KU before that.

Tharpe wasn't good on Friday either. He also was one of the least efficient shooters in the entire Self era this season.

Tharpe is going to have to get better (and show more of his controlled, facilitating play from February) if the conference streak is to continue, I think. The talent is there, though.

PG just needs to distribute. If he can score too then great.

EJ: 24 minutes, 0 assists
Tharpe: 32 minutes, 7 assists

At least he knows how to pass

Sometimes he does when he shows his flashes of creation ability, but most of the time he doesn't and decides instead to jack bad percentage, contested jumpers. Tharpe's assist rate was only slightly better (28.3 to 27.1) this season than EJ. There was little difference between them in that regard.

Tharpe didn't meltdown though, don't know what happened to EJ. Must have been some bad weed.

From Rivals talking about McDonalds All-Americans:

Wayne Selden: Selden looks like he hit the genetic lottery. The Kansas-bound wing is tough and athletic, and he plays with power on the wing. Selden was under control while playing a man's game and thriving in pick and roll. He says the KU coaches want him to be a defensive stopper and slasher. There's no doubt he'll be getting bumped to five-star and move up the rankings.

Getting stoked for next year.

he seems so giddy at the thought.

[BWillie]

Wiggins comes off like such an immature dbag there.

[Silock]

I don't think he does at all. It does seem as though he's set for UK, but there's always hope he goes somewhere, ANYWHERE, else.

[KC_Connection]

He just comes across as somebody going to Kentucky, which is a perfectly reasonable decision for somebody in his shoes to make.

Tharpe had his own share of meltdowns. Heck, for the first few months, he couldn't even stay on the floor for more than a minute without making a mistake. It's significant progress in itself, I guess, that he was able to play as much as he did by the end.
