Art Alvarez just texted me to alert me that he and Freddy A. will be in Manhattan this weekend. He said to let him know if I needed anything, etc. That's how me and Art roll...

Seriously, though, I told him my current situation but that I still do some K-State related stuff, i.e. - post here. I will call him Sunday - after the Bengals/Texans, of course - and ask him WHATEVER YOU WANT. I'm dead serious about this, but I'm going to keep the cap at 10 questions. So, whatever you have to do to pare the list down to 10, do so. Work together, debate, whatever - but I'll ask your questions because, really, I have none. But I do have access.

JM: "Freddy/Art, what do you think Freddy's style of play will bring the Wildcats something down low that they don't already have?"

edit, are you going to talk to Freddy or Art?

[sys]

ask him lots of questions about angel rodriguez tricoche.  really egg him on about it and see if you can get something particularly outrageous.

[kimballcat]

What do you know about Angel Rodriguez and talk about his game and recruitment.

Beat me by 30 seconds 

[treysolid]

ask him about Angel Rodriguez.  What does he think of the KState offer, is he planning on coming to visit, describe his style of play, etc.

beat me to the punch as well.

[doom]

Ask him about what other schools Freddy is looking at and why.

[steve dave]

Ask him why Freddy didn't commit (do not ask if he did in fact commit)

[kimballcat]

How about some interesting stores of Frank Martin from his younger days in Miami.

[yosh]

Ask him, since all his players are future lottery picks, why he doesn't try to get the Tropics NBA status?

 

[Pett]

Ask him who else other than Angel from his neck of the woods is Frank/Dalonte looking at for the next couple of classes.

Oh, and ask him how much does Frank love K-State and if he gets an offer from a Big East school after this season, in his honest opinion, would he take it?

[Rick Daris]

if you talk to him again before saturday, ask him if he and/or spri are up for paking anytime friday night and or sat morning/afternoon.

[ksu_FAN]

How many schools really offered Freddy.  AA has tended to use a bit of hyperbole in the past.

[treysolid]

also, ask him if he were in charge of the NCAA, what measures would he take to make sure that what happened to Freddy at FIU, being denied a release, doesn't happen to other players in the future.

[Pete]

1.  Art has said in the past that Freddy may commit as soon as he has a visit to a school that "fits," and forgo other visits.  Did KSU "fit?"

2.  Art has said in the past that Freddy may leap directly from Juco to "the pro's."  In Art's opinion, is that exclusively for the NBA, or is Freddy in a position financially/life-goal wise where ANY "professional" opportunity is favorable versus one more year in school?   Ask Art, "Gun to your head, what do you predict Freddy will do...go pro in 2010 or play D1A basketball?"

[WillieWannabe]

My God, you don't even cover k-state and you are doing a better job than Kellis.

Might as well ask him where if he has a gun to his head.

We love you Jeffery Martin 

[KITNfury]

I used to hate you Jeffrey Martin because everyone loved you and no one loved me. Now I love you and I hate me for being so stupid. You're the   est of all reporters.

[~WabashRoll~]

Jeff,

Thanks for the doing a job for free that others are unwilling or incapable of doing for pay.

God bless you and your charitable hand outs.  You're like a soup kitchen for K-State basketball recruiting information.

Be sure to ask Art how he enjoyed his jet service flight on American Airlines with direct connection to Manhattan from Dallas.


 

[The1BigWillie]

Ask him if he has anything interesting to say about the Rice Owls.  I figure you need all the help you can get with material for that beat. 

[sys]

the aa question is great.  here's one that's a slight change of pace.  ask him for a scout on nu's puerto rican big - diaz.

[steve dave]

Ask him what you should wear for the Vegas game when the National KatPak Conference 2009 is absolutely tearing that city apart. 

[Rick Daris]

Who wants to bet it wouldn't take that much effort to get him to.  Great idea daris.

[Rick Daris]

no other group of fans would love art alvarez as much as kstate fans would love art alvarez.

[Trim]

Art, analogy time.  Is KSU the KC/Sprint Center to you and 'spri's Pittsburgh Penguins?

[~WabashRoll~]

I can't wait for J-Mart's update!

[Pete]

We need to be patient.  Skip Holtz's crew fist &@#%ed the Owls this past weekend and Jeff is busy getting the details of the whole ugly ordeal down on paper. 

Jeff, feel free to rub the whole Cosh thing in Skip's face.
