@dylans Duke with Okafor/Jones/Winslow won the title with freshman fueling the team. There’s enough evidence out there to suggest you can win in several ways. The freshman way has worked although usually there’s still a vet or two that plays a big role. Last year was a big thumbs up for the veteran squads. I think that trend continues into this year if I was making a prediction now. A ton of talent is gone from last year spread throughout every conference. I have a hard time picking 5-10 teams that I think will be good because there was so much roster movement everywhere. No excuses for KU this year with a veteran squad

@dylans Women’s college BB is a different, significantly inferior game. It’s really a different sport. I didn’t realize that’s why a KU fan would would watch men’s college BB.

Oh man. Where’s @CivilHawk ?

Another talking about Bol Bol receiving cash from Nike Both guys were KU targets. So is Adidas cheap or clean? I’m betting on cheap. We never were a serious threat for Bol. Ayton was a different story. Gassnola was involved there on KU’s behalf.

I think people have been a little to hard on the kid, myself included at times.

He’s just a freshman he will be even better his sophomore year

@Woodrow Exactly. I’m saying he was over-rated to begin with.

@drgnslayr You didn’t direct it to me but I want to just ask–how do you have regular contact with, or chances to watch, kids who are playing for shoe-sponsored AAU coaches and teams and leagues, and how do you get info about the kids from those coaches, without having contact with the shoe companies’ representatives?

@wissox I was never in a firm. Didn’t work with my anti-joiner mentailty! Or my 9 to 5 preference, either.

Texas Hawk 10 said: @JayHawkFanToo You don’t retain everyone on staff and I didn’t agree with keeping Bowen because he can’t scheme for crap. Reggie Mitchell was put best recruiter while he was here and RB’s was also one of the strongest position groups while he was here. He was worth retaining which two coaches did before he left for Arkansas. Tony Hull is definitely worth trying to retain, but I think it will take promoting him to offensive coordinator to have any chance to retain him. I wouldn’t have any problem with that. – aROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ben has found his game again. This is the best I’ve seen him since KU.

Yeah contextually I think he was snarking about Self in that thread as well, but you’re right that he didn’t specifically call for Self’s head there.

When he’s not chasing down top level recruits, he’s pitching potential ADs… “I saw firsthand why Bill Self is such a great recruiter because, I’ll be candid, he recruited me here, and I’m proud of that and that meant a lot to me,” Long explained.

Yay! Still happy about this one!
