@FarmerJayhawk said in IARP Case Moving: @mayjay it was very shady. Difference being KU held Silvio out until the NCAA cleared him (ditto Billy Preston). Memphis knew at minimum the whole thing was sketch and under investigation, yet played Rose anyway. Yea, that sums it up for me. I don’t recall the Rose situation in great detail anymore. Nor the Silvio signing details. But, holding Silvio out seemed by the book on the surface. The rest of it is sketchy as hell.

@dylans I wish the best for him. Somewhere through the haze is a real good kid.

@FarmerJayhawk They’re are definitive in anyway, but those numbers are useful for gauging progress. Agbaji at 27% is concerning because he was only at 30% last year. That’s an indicator that his 3 point shooting may still be in Marcus Garrett territory. Dotson being at 45%, but with low attempt numbers, is a sign that he needs to create more opportunities for himself from 3 because he has the abilities to be a dead eye shooter from deep. Silvio and McCormack having 4 attempts between them is a sign the neither has the range to take that shot yet. That is a sign that KU is going to have to get much better at ball movement than they were last season to create good shots for players. With Wilson and McBride, Wilson looks like he won’t be a great shooter right away, could be the one big capable of spacing the floor and opening driving lanes for the guards. McBride looks like he won’t have much issue adjusting to the deeper line and could potentially be the most consistent shooter on the team. While I agree nothing is definitive with these numbers, there is definitely some usefulness to them to give some insight into where the players are at.

@BShark meant to post this yesterday; the VT faithful are starting to feel less doom and gloomy about Mike Young’s hiring as he builds his staff. Most of their recruits (and players) appear to be staying committed now. Blackshear might even stay.

@chriz “Sending their kids wherever they think is best for them” is funny. Eighteen year old kids aren’t super great at simply doing what they are told because an adult thinks it’s best for them. But certainly parents play an important role in recruiting and they should share praise and blame for when things work out and when they don’t. As humans with brains and consciences they are capable just like the rest of us of making mistakes and letting money talk more than it should.

Just did, 22-10.

Ben has been unlucky going from one bad team to another and then back to the really bad one. He has been a great KU ambassador and has done a lot of good work off the court. Condolences to him and his family.

Everyone is going to eat their words about Doke’s FT shooting, when he gets back to 43%.

Recruited him since th 7th grade, what a waste of time and money.

Prayers for Sean, Bill and the Snyder family
