    The very best.
IMO.

RUSH: 75%
ARTHUR: 75%
WRIGHT: 25%
CHALMERS: 20%
It is a tragedy because now, we have at least an extra month without Cat football until next year. I hate wasting my life away but I can hardly wait until next year.

Wright should leave before he falls off every NBA scouts radar. The dude sucks balls.

The longer wright stays the more he hurts his stock.  He seems to be getting worse as a player.

Arthur probably leaves early.  I think his mom wants him to.  Kind of a "go make some money for the family" thing that a lot of young ultra gifted athletes get from their parents.  Probably has the best pro potential on their whole team.

Chalmers stays.

Rush..eh.  Maybe.  He hasn't really improved from last year, but that's because he was really effing good last year.  He'll never amount to much in the league, but he's a good wing who can also drive to the basket when needed.

Name one player that has vastly improved under Bill Selfs tutelage.  Going pro is in their best option.

They'll do well in Italy.  Or Greece.

If Rush stays in college any longer, he'll get his first NBA paycheck and league pension check on the same day.

They obviously all want to stay in college until their eligility is up, so they can collect the sweet parting gifts from Joan Edwards & Bernard Morgan.

I hope they all stay.  It will be sweeter when we beat them.
As God is my witness, I thought turkeys could fly.

Let's judge them by their appropriate strengths and what they will be relied upon to contribute in the league-

RUSH: Strength:  last name  League Contribution:  sloppy shooting, soft finisher
WRIGHT:  Strength: great passer!  League Contribution:  great passer!


Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

New warning: Don't get in a fight with someone who doesn't even need to bother to buy ink.

Players that have improved under Bill Self:

Wayne Simien
Sasha Kaun
Mario Chalmers
Russell Robinson
Mike Lee
Aaron Miles
Darnell Jackson
Brian Cook
Deron Williams
Luther Head

The only guy I see going pro after this season is Darrell Arthur.  Right now he's projected to go mid-to-late first round.  Fran Fraschilla is around the players and the team a lot, and he thinks everyone will come back.  Throw in Cole Aldrich and Tyrel Reed and we should be even better next year.

I think Rush will leave.  Wright needs to stay.   Arthur is talented enough, but it would probably help him to stay.

NBA draft. net had Arthur being #9 in the 2008 draft.  If he thinks he will go top 10 this year.... i think he leaves.

Self took an 8 seed (Tulsa) and beat Huggins 1 seed (Cinci) in the 2nd round of the tournament on his way to the Elite Eight.  I'd say the guy can coach.  Oh, and before you bring up the 1st round losses, I would just like to remind you that Bob Huggins lost in the 1st or 2nd round 12 out of the last 14 times he made the tournament with Cinci.  Billy Donovan, Jim Boeheim, Lute Olsen, etc, have all lost in the 1st round.

Back on the main topic, even if Rush and/or Arthur leave, ku will still have Sherron Collins, Russell Robinson, Mario Chalmers, Julian Wright, Sasha Kaun, Darnell Jackson, Cole Aldrich, Rodrick Stewart, Tyrel Reed, and possibly a guy like Marcus Thornton.

We'll still be the team to beat in the Big 12.

That's not true.  He has 3 Elite Eights, and Cincy was a 2 seed in 2000.

Huggins only lost twice in the first round.

in 14 years.

That's f-ing insane.

I think what BMW is really saying is that Self has extreme difficulty in the dance as a favorite.

Robinson, Kaun, and Jackson would all start for K-State and 3/4 of the rest of the teams in the Big 12.

To be fair, almost any team's PG and big man would start for us.

So if they can just trade Wright around the NBA to whichever team is playing against Noah, he should have it made.

Arthur is the first go go, i'd say 60 or 70%
Rush - 50%
Wright - 25%
Kaun - 97%

that's about everyone that matters

I'd say the mancer goes pro. word in the league is that some tumbler on the Heat went down. no WAY he's coming back.
