Title: How much talent does Bill Self/ku need to make the Final Four?
Post by: Dan Rydell on March 24, 2007, 09:02:23 PM
If they couldn't make it this year, I don't think they can ever make it.  We're certainly not talking national championship, ever.

They lack a superstar.

isnt that what should make them a truly dangerous team?  they dont have that one guy to key on.  does UNC or florida have a superstar?  bill selfs crapty coaching is going to keep ku from winning a title until they get that true superstar in the same way that mack brown will never win another title unless he gets another once in a lifetime type of player like vince young.

if bill self recruited for them, and bob huggins coached them, they'd have won the NC this year.

They are missing senior leadership/talent.  Problem is that their seniors next year aren't that good.  If they return everyone next year there is no way they shouldn't be an absolute lock for the FF.  I thought they were this year but UCLA was legit.

5th year: 5 MC AA's - if they all come back, with the addition of that giant goofball from Minnesota.  If you have an entire lineup of MC AA's, is there ANY excuse he could make for not getting to the Final Four?

i'm pretty sure every year, k-state plays in the ncaa, so does the D2 college down the street from me.  the worst team in college plays in the ncaa every year, if you are referring to the NCAA tournament, then you are correct; however, I did say next year, and k-state being a bubble team and having next year's top recruiting class, you would have to agree they will be a very strong team next year

Still too many goofy white guys.

You have to have that one star player that guys can rally around when the going gets tough and who can play through double teams and still get points.

I was speaking of the ncaa tourn.  I am one ku fan that hopes KSU does get better in BB.  However,  with some of the comments I have read 
on this board, makes me think some of you dont know BB.    I have been lurking on this board since the second ku/KSU game not saying nothing.  I have read some posters say KSU will be NAtl Champs.  in 2008.  Yea right.  Granted Beasley is going to be a talent but do you think he will be better than Durant?  Take out Durant this year and Beasley next year.  Is your team as good as Texas.  No.  I have recently read where some posters think KSU will be a preseason top 10.  NOPE.  I guess you think that Beasley will be able to move right in and adjust to the college game because we know that college bb and HS bb are exactly the same.

Good luck with your dreams :beerchug:

anyways, you don't agree we'll be better with two of the top forwards coming in so we can finally have an inside game.  And I know you think evans is good or you wouldn't have posted all the crap about him when he committed to us.  (when I say you, I mean the ku fans)

I wouldn't be so quick to say our Beaselyless team (next year) would be worse than UTs Durantless team (this year).  Walker, Sutton and Evans are about as good of an incoming group as James, Mason and Augustine were coming in.  Plus we'll have three experienced SRs, one was returning all conference.  ...and Walker will effectively be a soph. by the time conference season starts.  

The rest of your arguement is valid, although I'm not sure I've seen anyone serious predict preseason top 10 or national championships for K-State next year.

crying out loud, that's just stupid.  drop the powertard iq.

pittman/mason is comparable to that group, but james and augustin are heads and shoulders better recruits.

who the @#%@ wouldn't trade pullen for augustin?  and i'd trade any of the others for damion james.  a true freshman pf that can put up 7/7 would fit very nicely on our roster next year.

Well, of course they're different players.  I'm assuming your assertion that UT Durant-less is better than 08-09 KSU Beasley-less was based on recruiting rankings. 

If you aren't, then you can't say with any degree of certainty that Sutton or Pullen or Tyree can't be better than Augustin or James.

rusty - i never said that a durantless ut squad is better than 08-09 ksu.  matter of fact, i never even compared the two teams.  are you daft?

i rejected yosh's dumbass opinion that "Walker, Sutton and Evans are about as good of an incoming group as James, Mason and Augustine were coming in."

do you agree or disagree with yosh's dumbass opinion?

Well, Walker, Sutton, and Evans were all top 100 RSCI (Mason was not), and Walker is the highest ranked player of the group, so I think the only "dumbass" opinions being thrown around are the ones that involve definites regarding players that haven't seen a D1 court.

ughh...please, please try to keep up.

first - yosh didn't say crap about walker.

second - evans was #72 in 2005, and sutton was #80 in the last round of rsci. 

third - james was #15 and augustin was #29 in the final '06 rankings.

now, i don't know where the f__u_c__k you learned math, but at ksu those rankings put james/augustin well ahead of evans/sutton.  this fully qualifies you as having dumbass opinions in line with yosh, but infinitely worse reading comprehension.

add walker at #8 and pittman at #82 for ut, and my point still stands.

and you're still a moron, you're just getting better at proving it.

ut - 15,29, 82
ksu - 8, 72*, 80

*old ass ranking

which incoming ksu frosh is going to match augustin's numbers?  jame's numbers?

if you believe they're comparable, then you have an answer to that question.  let's hear it.

ut - 15,29, 82
ksu - 8, 72*, 80

I'd say that's comparable, especially when you already know #82 is a 3 ppg lardass.

Looking at those six numbers and definitively saying one group is far superior to another is about as stupid as it gets, though.

Rusty gets it.  My point was based on looking at UT going into this year vs. Looking at KSU going into next year.  UT returned one of their top six. (the sixth a reserve avg. 6ppg)  KSU returns 3 of the top 6 (including the second highest scorer and a all conference guy).  I said that when throwing out Beasely and Durant, top three newcomers for each team were comparible.  Which they are since Walker was better than anyone they had, and our third guy was RSCI top 100 while theirs was not.  I never said a word a Pullen.  I don't know where that came from.  I think Coitus is just upset about the "Hoskins can't play on the perimeter thread"  :rolleyes: and was waiting to find something to attack me about.  Obviously you can't make a valid comparison with a team that has played a season against a team that is only on paper so far.  If you knew nothing about what happened for UT this season, and just looked at both teams on paper, K-State's is better.

that's why you're a moron.  and you're continuing to ignore the following:

pg:
14.4ppg
44% on 3pters
6.7 apg


pf:
7.6 ppg
7.2 rpg

you know that's what this team needs in a huge way, but if you admit it, you know your entire point about the classes being comparable falls apart.

odds are that pullen/sutton will not even start.  heck, it's not out of the realm of possibility that evans will not start either.

i would trade pullen/brown/sutton/evans for augustin and james in terms of talent.  in a heartbeat.  that's an absolute stud pg and a legit pf, both already proven at d1a.

this place is turning into powertard central.

enjoy sucking yosh's balls.


fan - self did better at tulsa and illinois because no one brings the 'a' game against those two.

My perception of ku (and I'm sure some bird will say otherwise), I"m not sure ku under Self has a true identity/system.  At Illinois they seemed to have an identity.  When he was at Illinois, they seemed to be a much more physical team and ran like 8-10 guys at ku and beat them up and really worked the high/low.
