Media today is today at the Sprint Center. I will post anything interesting being said from the league's coaches or players here if you guys would like. At least I will try.
-
Thanks Cole.

Do it Cole. Also, PM any stuff to wild to post.

Self went first:
Self on Aldrich: "He can be the best true big man Kansas has had since Wilt."
Difficulty of the league: "The league is the best it's been since I've been in it and probably the best since the inception of it."
Also added that the 2008 national championship helped give credit to the Big 12 from a national standpoint, along with Beasley, Durant and Blake Griffin.
Capel just said guard Willie Warren is the best off-guard in college basketball and that Aldrich is the best center in the game.
Scott Drew went earlier. Gotta love that guy's energy. Sorry sys.

Colorado coach Jeff Bzdelik: "We aren't a good rebounding team. If we don't get better at that, there's not going to be much of a change in the wins and losses."
On a side note, entered the arena with Bzdelik. He got asked for credentials. His reaction, 'I'm a coach.' Usher replies: "Oh really, where?" I laughed.

Usher comment is great.
And Bz is right. Throw NU and ISU in with that group also, 3 of the worst offensive rebounding teams in the country. Texas Tech and OSU were also toward the bottom, I suppose the difference is OSU had enough athletes and a style of play to score enough and force enough TOs to make up for it. Perhaps NU did that a bit as well. But I don't think its any coincidence ISU, NU, Tech, and CU were 4 of the worst offensive rebounding teams in the league, and also 4 of the worst 5 teams in the league.

On a side note, saw Dexter Pittman at the media hotel last night as I was getting off the elevator. He is in the best shape of his career, looks a lot different. Weighed in a 281 pounds the other day, and Barnes said he's lost more than 100 pounds now since coming to Texas.

I'm still amazed at how well we've rebounded. #1 Rebounding Offense, #3 Rebounding Defense in the Big 12 Overall. It's single handedly the reason we were a decent team. And probably will always be moving forward.

Yeah, K-State ranked 18th in the nation in total rebounding last season. Very impressive

FYI. Frank goes last today at 10:45.

why does it surprise you that a frank martin coached team rebounds the ball well? everything about frank martin screams that his teams will outwork their opponents.

Yeah, this should be no surprise. This IS Frank Martin.
And when you go by offensive rebound %, we were the best in the country.

Doc Sadler: "I guess the NCAA felt bad for us by giving us 14 scholarships. I guess they know how bad we are going to be."
On having size: "I don't know what I'll do with it. It's been so long since I've had a guy over 6-foot."
I take it as a bad sign that Sadler has hardly no voice at all. I mean, his voice is cracking like a little boy hitting puberty.

well, like, it surprises me because his team has actually done it. a lot of coaches say they want to do things but then can't do them. remember when wooly said he wanted to play "up tempo" before every year started? i'm sure doc and bzdfaselafdak and mcneck say they'd like to do a lot of things...and then their teams don't. maybe I'm just surprised that we have what appears like a competent coach?

Pat Knight: "People were on my ass last year about giving up so many points." (talking about his team's inability to play man defense last season due to a lack of talent and depth).
Knight believes this is his best team since he got there and that they can go 12-deep. All most made it sound like he has too much talent and won't know who to play.
Trip to Lubbock: :ohno:

For real. I even heard Self say that he only wants to play 8-9 players this year.
-
Travis Ford has a lot of energy. Thinks they have one of the best perimeter threats in college basketball with James Anderson leading the way.
-
McDermott on being picked 8th in the league with Brackins returning and Big 12 preseason Newcomer of the Year Marquis Gilstrap: "They must not think much of the coach."
Side note: Saw Brackins at the hotel last night, no longer has the mini-mohawk this year.

Could you tell if his hair is like that because he is trying to cover up a receading hairline or does he just like it to look like that?

Or they don't think much of your guards. Like K-State with Hoskins/Martin. We'll see.

Frank began media day by picking up the podium and hurling it at Kellis Robinette knocking him unconscious. He also inadvertantly struck c_manbeck and knocked him out too.
Maybe Meek will report something about this. :poke:

When the season ended, we went out to San Diego State and didn't play well the second half and got beat. Well, they didn't go home and cry to mom, and they didn't come in and feel sorry for themselves. They went right back in that gym, and they've both made themselves stronger because of the commitment they've made in the weight room. They've made themselves better athletes.
:love:

Jordan Henriquez has a 7'6" wingspan,
and he's a lot better than I anticipated him being
this early in the year.

Head Coach Mark Turgeon
(Turgeon unable to participate due to flu)
:jerkoff:
-
We were just in the back, Jacob Pullen and Merriewether and myself, we're laughing because when we go into strength camp the coach takes pictures of ourselves with boxers on. Every year he takes another picture. When I saw his picture about a week ago, I literally had a tough time eating later on in the day.
:lol:
But now he's transformed his body. He looks like a high major athlete again, and he's playing that way. He's been tremendous. He gives us a presence at the rim, both on offense and defense, and he's been great.
:love:
-
I like how he almost said that Colon works hard but he's terrible and then had to catch himself.

Not one mention of Dominique Sutton. A good or bad thing?
-
i'd classify it as a "so what?" thing, Sutton hasn't been happy here, not a shocker.
this team will play good defense with/without Dom. notice Frank also mentioned moving Jamar into the 3, Dom's spot.
-
My fault guys, got caught up with individual stuff. Back in Manhattan now. Shoot me questions and I'll try to answer.

Pullen is completely different this year. He's a very good quote, can definitely tell he's a leader:
Here's something from him on K-State taking the next step: "When we’re doing certain things and you look to your left and someone doesn’t have energy and he doesn’t look like he really wants to be there, just remind him why he’s here, just remind him we played in the NIT last year. That’s not something as a person that’s been to the NCAA and enjoys the success of the NCAA, it’s not something that you do and you feel like, 'oh man, I really did something great, I went to the NIT.'
"You wanna go back to the NCAA. There’s nothing wrong with the NIT, but after being in the NCAAs, it’s like having a fine wine, you don’t want to go drink a cheap wine after that, you want a fine wine, it’s something that you want to do.
"You don’t get used to going back to the NIT. I don’t walk in the locker room after practice and say 'let’s work hard guys, NIT’s on the way,' just something you don’t do.
"As a team, we have five new faces, they don’t really understand what they’re working for because they haven’t had a taste of anything so you get to the point that you gotta keep explaining and keep letting them know that the NCAA Tournament is the standard and nothing under that, everything else is failure basically."

yeah. incredible. going to miss him when he leaves for the big 10 or whatever amazing job lies ahead. prob more then i missed/miss jmart. :frown:

I really enjoy reading quotes about how much bigger/stronger/leaner guys are than they were last year. I'm really glad our staff focuses on this so much. It seems like most others don't. Not sure.

Damn shame. Kid is going to be a total beast this season. Love following his tweets though.

This is one of the funniest threads ever. Some great material here. The Bzdelik thing is obviously the best. OMGLOL
