Good lineage.  This is an old article:

Quote
His oldest son Chris seems ready to take an even bigger step into college basketball.

A 6-foot-5 wing guard at The Oakridge School in the family's new home in Arlington, Texas, Chris Babb recently committed to coach Steve Alford at New Mexico after gently upstaging the famous former Indiana scorer at Alford's recent Elite Camp.

"Alford was showing how he could still shoot and hit 18 straight 3-pointers,'' Mike Babb related. "Well, Chris is there in flip-flops when coach asks him to shoot. He hits 17 straight, then gets nudged by coach when he hits No. 18 before hitting two more.

I spoke with someone close to the family, he is looking to commit somewhere closer to home (between Texas and Kansas, so the entire family can see him play) - preferably a Big XII school.  If OSU doesn't take him, I think he comes to K-State.

July 11?  Willie Warren? seriously?

Kadji committed in June.

I can't think of any SG's we've lost out on since July 11.

My timeline was incorrect then.  June, we still had a chance with the 5 star prospects. Then the 4 star prospects, and now we are hoping for 3 star prospects.

I couldn't really find any information on the Lobo boards of why he re-opened his recruitment. They seem disappointed upon hearing the news.  I don't think he is interested in UNM anymore, though.

That would be great if he came back to Kansas.  He has a ton of friends and family in the Seaman district.  Just think if he didnt go down to Texas he wouldnt be getting any of this attention

Looking for Babb info, found this:

Quote
To Chris Babb

I'm sure you're hearing alot of things right now and I envy your position. I just want you to know that any school can give you a scholarship, and with your talent you would star at any school you choose to play for. You are that good!

However, there is only one school that treats our players like heroes. Only one school that plays in the mecca of college basketball. Only one school that has a ramp saying a mile above sea level and louder than... Once you hit the floor of The Pit you will see exactly how loud and electric it is! Unlike any other arena in the world. Voted the #13 best sports venue in the world by Sports Illustrated. Our players aren't players here, they are HEROES! And that is what we want you to be.

Be a Lobo Chris Babb!

my dream 08 five:

witherspoon
gilchrist (or samuels if gilchrist takes his mid 07 spot)
little
keller
evans

no room for babb.  once ksu misses out for the guys i really want, i'll start to pretend to be excited about babb-like talents.

Only an idiot would take a 6-5 PF over a 6-5 SG that can shoot like Babb.

keller? or samuels?

the world is full of guys that can shoot (but aren't high major players).
