Title: Julius Randle: Role Model, Hero
Post by: EllToPay on March 20, 2013, 12:51:42 PM
I'm a through and through TSC'er.

But for one of the first times in recent memory, a highly rate recruit turned down Bill Self and his female loving, behind his wife's back ways. Who else will follow his lead?

He should be applauded.

Bill told him he was leaving KU and randle will follow him to his next school.

Hopefully the message of bill being a monster that intentionally holds kids back from their dreams is infiltrating AAU teams.   Basically the anti Cal.

Randle must have a good head on his shoulders (move to old sayings thread).

Post by: catzacker on March 20, 2013, 01:37:51 PM
I’m glad Randle chose UK instead of KU; This means we’ll probably keep it close in Manhattan before losing (again) next year.  Another great “win” for KSU earned by someone else.

when was this?  we really didn't have to compete for any of them.  they (meaning bill, mike, wally, rodney) just came along without much effort (mostly cheating-ish type stuff).  after that, frank had Latavious who I think is pumping gas somewhere and is 40 years old and Tony Mitchell who got birthed to North Texas.

I'm really going to have to re-think things here.   It appears that Cal and Kentucky can put together better overall packages for recruits than ku/Self/Compton and company.

I may have to re-focus my cheating longings more towards Kentucky and their model over ku and their model . . . as the one K-State should adopt.

I am really disturbed everytime I hear about Weber not "going there".   I really want to believe that Weber takes the "Knight Model" where the "care takers" seemingly have no direct connection to the basketball office.   But alas I fear tis nothing but a Windmill.

It's hard to say on actual money, I am more interested in the model.

Probably the best one going before it got busted was ku's Ticket Scalping slush fund, it's just a shame so many had to go to Federal Prison over that, but major props to them for talking the NCAA out of getting involved.   That situation pretty much runs neck and neck with UNC convincing the NCAA that the African American Studies non class classes weren't an NCAA violation, but an instutional academic issue.     

I'll defer to others on the $.

But Cal is the one who beat you by doing things his way, thus destroying your point.  Actual results vs hypotheticals. He basically took a year off from being good because he could. Next year UK will dominate again.  It's sickeningly beautiful.

Knight model would require Currie's agreement or inaction, which makes this a low probability outcome.   Nothing wrong with kicking the tires of the UK model, though.

Cal's track record speaks for itself and the fact that he's coaching Kentucky now is something that frankly we can all admire, a true walk between the raindrops life.   Amazing.

yeah, and now, he's learned his lesson.  he's learned that he really should be going after guys outside the top 50/100/150, because those guys are going to fit his style. he doesn't feel the pressure at KSU to get those really talented guys.

much the same way that I'm through rough ridin' talking to Kate Upton.  I'm not going to play her games anymore.

Haven't both Cal and Seff and their respective institutions past and present both recently been caught cheating?  Are their people who deny this? So confused.

Also, been to both Rupp and AFH post renovation.  AFH is a sheetrock cave, shittiest concourses of any venue Ive ever been to in my entire life.  It's pathetic.  The arena part is nostalgic, so there's that.  Rupp is extremely nice with a pro feel to it.  Its off campus in downtown lexington which is surprisingly cosmopolitan given its in Kentucky.  It's not in a mall, its in a Hyatt/Galeria/Convention center, yet subtlety the venue is nostalgic..  It's way better than AFH and everyone already knows that.

So we have a good thread and it turns into a butthurt showdown between Cal defenders ( he absolutely no question cheated in the past, whether he was the actual bag man is the question) and Cal haters (he probably doesn't cheat a bit anymore, doesn't have to) and 1 ku fan who is butthurt that Kentucky is a better program.

This is about Cal landing the #2 player the day after he got knocked out of the first round of the NIT by Bob Morris.

KU has the #3 ranked recruiting class for next year.

#12-Wayne seldon 6'5 220lb SG/SF(will be like bmac but way better off the dribble)
#28-Joel Embiid 6'11" 230lb C(this dude is nasty...check out his clips)
#43-Brannen Greene 6'6" 215lb SG(can flat out shoot)
#47-Conner Frankamp 6'0" 155lb PG(the next Kirk hinrich, dominated on the USA team)
#134-frank mason 6'0" 175lb PG(next Sherron Collins only lighter)

so see KU is in great position to be a contender next year along with our return players. we still have a shot at Andrew Wiggins who the experts say is the best prospect since Lebron(doubt he comes here but who knows)

I'm not sure if my corrected rankings do to your argument but, at the very least, you don't know how to use the interwebs very well.

So, seldon is going to be the #1 pick next year?

Frankamp is no Captain Kirk. KH was an absolute freak in HS and much taller than Frankamp. Conner is a bitch and is going to be somewhere between Tyrel Reed and Jeff Boschee.

Frank Mason is no Sherron. Maybe lighter than him (who isn't?  :dunno:)...but definitely not close talent-wise. He'll probably be better than Tharpe, though...

While I harbor no real anger at the man (anymore), I still don't like him.

Yeah yeah, he did great things and won a lot of games while here, but all of that is negated because he chose to walk away. Not for a high job, but the same job at a different school.

He willingly walked away from Kansas and its fans and that will always be unforgivable in my book.

he wasted 15 years of ku history with his soft brand of pansyball, made us known as the 'duke of the midwest', took every other year off recruiting, and cried like a baby in the media.

now he's crying again about his seed etc... and trying to get ku fans to root for his team this weekend.

how can anyone respect him? he's worse than tom crean or john calipari in my book. most overrated coach ever.

Thanks, steve.  I agree.  I really like the way Self is building this program.

It's a nice class, but didn't Self TRY and get a one and done?

Traylor seems entirely more athletic than Darnell.  I'm thinking a bigger/thicker Jamar Samuels.


I don't see Traylor ever being able to step out and hit threes.  Darnell averaged 11.2 ppg and 6.7 rpg as a senior on a national championship team.  He's better than people give him credit for.

KU has the #3 ranked recruiting class for next year.

#12 #26 -Wayne seldon 6'5 220lb SG/SF(will be like bmac but way better off the dribble)
#28 #37-Joel Embiid 6'11" 230lb C(this dude is nasty...check out his clips) youtube search Judge, Wally
#43#25 -Brannen Greene 6'6" 215lb SG(can flat out shoot)
#47 #31-Conner Frankamp 6'0" 155lb PG(the next Kirk hinrich  :lol:, dominated on the USA team)
#134-frank mason 6'0" 175lb PG(next Sherron Collins only lighter  :lol:)

so see KU is in great position to be a contender next year along with our return players. we still have a shot at Andrew Wiggins who the experts say is the best prospect since Lebron(doubt he comes here but who knows)

I'm not sure if my corrected rankings do to your argument but, at the very least, you don't know how to use the interwebs very well.

So, seldon is going to be the #1 pick next year?

Frankamp is no Captain Kirk. KH was an absolute freak in HS and much taller than Frankamp. Conner is a bitch and is going to be somewhere between Tyrel Reed and Jeff Boschee.

Frank Mason is no Sherron. Maybe lighter than him (who isn't?  :dunno:)...but definitely not close talent-wise. He'll probably be better than Tharpe, though...

check ESPN 100....idk where you are getting your rankings but they are wrong

Self went out and got a great class of 3-4 year players. Minus Selden. I think he's a two year guy.

If he manages to land Wiggins to bridge the gap between this year and 2014-2015, it will no doubt be his best class at KU.

That's a little assumptive, no? FSU tanked this year and though I believe they are a big player for him, that had to hurt a bit. Wiggins isn't the kind of kid who loves the recruiting process. He's also not the kind of kid who loves the spotlight. Where is the spotlight going to shine brightest next year? Kentucky. Brightest on him? Florida State.

I don't think we're the favorite. And those characterizations I made above are from recruiting "experts". But in recent weeks, it has become less clear who his favorite is. People have said to not count out Kansas or North Carolina.

I don't know if it's the Randle letdown that has you waving the white flag so early or what but it's totally dumb to do so. When we're one of four finalists, we have a shot.

I believe that UK and FSU are still the leaders for him. But I don't think UNC and KU are too far behind.

mason is ranked well below tharpe for a reason, he might be a diamond in the rough but only time will tell.  KU already has two guys that can handle the ball coming in (selden and frankamp) so mason is a project and probable bench warmer. 

Selden is probably not a one and done.  he is though a very good player and has the body and game to step in and play right away.

Butthurtville isnt handling this very well.

I know right? when they win they say titletown, when they lose they want their coach fired and say "it's our hobby sport" lol.

We've always said its our hobby sport.  It's just about everyone's hobby sport outside of some one dimensional loser schools.

...or go ahead and 1-star away, but Ben is not an NBA-caliber player right now.  If he thinks the lights were bright this weekend, what the hell does he expect when he gets paid to go 0-9 from the field?

Never in a million years would I have thought benching him in favour of Naadir Tharpe would be a genius move, but it's impossible to argue it today.

I love Ben's game when it's on.  But he needs more seasoning.

Quote
I have felt that for weeks. I have not mentioned it on this board for the simple reason that I did not want the fight that would have ensued. He is not mentally ready for the next level.

Quote
All the fans I was around were getting really grumpy saying he isn't ready. Definitely needs to stay another year. He can't do anything away from AFH. He needs another year so he isn't another flameout.

Quote
Ben needs to come back. I know he could get drafted on potential, but in order for him to be the best pro he could be, he needs at least one more year of development.

So begins the annual "Player X is not NBA ready because I really want him to play for KU another season."

KU has multiple Big 12 titles this year in multiple sports.  Swept K-State in everything but our hobby sport.
