@BShark Good for them I guess?
I hope our two top rated recruits from last season pan out. Enaruna and Wilson are both pretty rough for top 100 talent.
Just, um, surprising. Recent players from Roselle Catholic ended up at Oregon, LSU and UK iirc.
More insane is transfers picking schools without even visiting

@BeddieKU23 what did I miss?

@BeddieKU23 Coronavirus?

Alterique Gilbert picks Wichita
Kevin Marfo picks Texas A&M
Xavier nabbed 2 Grad Transfers
USC got 2 Grad Transfers
Just surprised at all these quick decisions, they can’t visit. All they can do is talk to coaches

Looks like Donovan Williams gave up on hoping for a KU offer that wasn’t coming.

He screamed “oh crap what if we lose Ochai” recruit. As it became clear he’s not going anywhere, Williams was not getting offered.

Didn’t realize they were full up. Could have sworn they had 3-4 spots open

Oh. My. God.
Kittens thought it was done to them.

Josh Christopher to ASU. Top 20 recruits going 15 different places. Going to be another year without many, if any, great teams.
-
@FarmerJayhawk bodes well for us I think.
-
Our old friend Isaiah Todd is going pro
-
@FarmerJayhawk never a doubt
-
Dodged a bullet there
-
Anselem reclassing to 20. Not that KU had a chance but this certainly makes that even more clear.
-
Jalen Green going G League. Glad we were never really involved there. RIP Penny and Memphis.
-
Jalen Suggs going as well would hurt Gonzaga a good deal
-
Can’t say I was interested in him viewing film either
-
@BShark Wasn’t he the one that shot lights out from 3 (literally, because he certainly wasn’t hitting the basket) when the staff went to see him play?

The guy can flat out coach, but he likes to cheat too and is good at that also. Another thing he is good at? Sweating. He and Buzz Williams are neck and neck when it comes to sweating.

Yeah like 1-15.

Top ranked recruit going the G-League route and skipping college. His deal is worth a minimum of $500,000! plus he can get endorsements.

Good for him. Jalen and others like him should have this opportunity.
-
@BeddieKU23 what’s frank get? I don’t really know the rules there. Can u play there forever? Do they sign a yr contract?
-
This new program that the NBA has will likely give those that want it the chance to skip college and go to the G-League, get pro coaching and salary before being eligible for the NBA. Between that and overseas (particularly Australia), we could see a dozen or so top players skimmed off every year.
That means there probably won’t be very many true “difference makers” coming into the college game each year. You don’t get Andrew Wiggins, but you do get Wayne Selden. You probably won’t see much clustering of talent, either. Without truly elite guys to build around, the complimentary guys won’t have much reason to flock to the same school. I think that’s what we are seeing.
With the drop off in talent, I would also expect more guys to stay for two years, rather than jump after one. The guys that can jump after one probably never show up. The NBA game and college game are just so much different from a pace and structure perspective.
And if the NCAA doesn’t figure this out soon, they will be a relic of the past, too.
-
@justanotherfan I believe the top 20 players this year went to 15 different schools. Lines up with your point.
I’ve been for some rule changes to make college closer to the NBA. Always gets some people upset for some reason.
-
Frank had a 2 way contract. Havent easily found his salary for this yr. I see he has a 1.5 million cap hit for next season with the bucks.

I think also with the way things are going to play out. NOW your going to see how really has that coaching talent/being able to develop players instead of the kid just playing off sure talent - - I think we are going to be just fine.
Seems like with the type of players Coach has gotten these last two-three years, he quite possibly saw around the corner and got a jump started recruiting good quality developmental players. - -players that rom lots of room to develop. Time to sit back and watch Coach/coach’s work their magic. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I get changing rules if your trying to keep top talent I guess, but the nba is watered down basketball. They have limited time to get a shot off. It’s really one pick and roll with maybe 2 passes, at most, with a quick shot. Quality of basketball is better in college. There are more play designs, more teamwork, and pace is much better.

I’m with you on all counts. The NBA doesn’t even try to act like it wants to play D anymore. No D, all iso and three - bad basketball. That’s why so many Europeans are being drafted, they have been coached and know how to play.
-
Strongly disagree. The quality of basketball in the NBA is the best in the world. Plenty of defense to go around but it is a long season and some guys take plays/games off.
-
@BShark Agree about the quality except one thing. The NBA is all about individual skill training. There is a lack of teaching and learning TEAM basketball. NBA teams do not practice a ton. As of today the majority of NBA players come to the NBA with some college which means they got at least one year of a coach teaching and preaching team basketball. Unless the g-league coaches teach more like a college team oriented way the team play will continue to get worse.
I actually think the only way team ball comes back in NBA is if you eliminate the corner 3. This will force more motion and screening to get open easy 2s. It would also bring back the want and need for a solid post guy. Not just a screen/3/rim runner like today.
-
@BShark they take an inordinate amount of plays off. If the season is so long - which it is - as to force you to put out a bad product then it is time for it to be shortened (which we know won’t happen, cha-ching$). Anyway, agree to disagree, I think it’s a bad product. It has been creeping in for about 10 years now, maybe longer. I think that it will eventually cost the NBA in terms of popularity.

This kid claims to be down to KU and New Mexico State. Can’t see that we’ve offered. Walk-on maybe?

Would have to be. No offer or OV. Solid walk-on if he picks us though. He’d be the 4th walk-on which is a lot but ¯_(ツ)_/¯. If he wants to hang around and try to earn some minutes, why not.
