"true point guard". For goodness' sake, MiR.
Don't take exception to my terminology, purely in the name of brevity, you know exactly what I'm talking about
I was under the impression that Clay was another combo guard, am I wrong about this? Not that I have a problem with Custer if he is a combo. At-t was the one PG I was alluding to.

i think he's pretty limited to just pg at this point. he's supposed to be about 5'11" or so, and just by how muscley he is, he doesn't look like he's likely to get a lot taller. i think pg is his mentality as well.

The terminology and the discussion of seems to be one of semantics. When people use the term "true point guard" they are looking for a player who can get to the rim on the bounce and who can and does create opportunities for his teammates. Specifically when I used it, I was referring to a player similar to what we think we are going to get from at-t, and similar to what Jake developed into. Saying true point guard is easier than saying "slashing guard with vision and an ability to score a bit as a bonus"

"Trevis Buchanon (Team Melo 2015) – When (John) Crosby wasn’t killing the defense on the perimeter Buchanon was doing the dirty work inside. A long 6’7” big man, Buchanon attacked the offensive glass and scored on a variety of short shots in the lane. He also defended the rim and started transition by rebounding at a high level and whipping outlet passes to Crosby."

""Everybody talks about me as a two guard," said (King) McClure. "I consider myself more of a combo guard because I can pass well."
According to McClure, he's already got offers from Texas, Texas A&M, Baylor, Oklahoma State, Arkansas, Kansas, Kansas State, Indiana, TCU and SMU so there's no shortage of early suitors. For now, though, McClure isn't thinking much about college and is just appreciating the attention he's gotten."

Quote
Strengths:
Barefield is a monster in the open floor. His ball handling ability is fantastic and he has great court vision. He loves to score in transition but can knock down the open jumper if left alone. His strongest attribute might be his ability to run a team to perfection. He has a good pace to his game and has the basketball IQ to put his team in position to win.
Weaknesses:
At 6-foot he needs to focus on being a point guard and maybe hunt his shot a little less. Tends to over dribble at times and needs to get the ball out of his hands. Can dominate the ball and must learn how to play without the ball in his hands. Must get stronger and work on lateral quickness to become a better on ball defender.

I like the idea of going after potential high-level guys early. Seems like low risk, high reward, and you have the chance at developing a rapport with a player that may eventually convince him to go to a worse school than some that get in on him later. If he doesn't pan out later in high school, you just lose the hours you spent recruiting him.

Simeon coach Robert Smith said he was proud to send players to Illinois.
“It’s one thing [former Simeon coach Bob] Hambric talked to me about when I was younger, about keeping guys at home is always big for Simeon, Illinois and the state,” Smith said. “I think it’s a great opportunity. Our basketball is too good in the state to have everyone leave for other schools. That’s my drive to let other people and coaches know to try to keep our guys home. It’s not for everyone. It’s best for some players to go to Kentucky, Duke and North Carolina because it doesn’t fit here, but we should try to make our basketball rich and good in Illinois.”

Hence why Mcgruder played the 3 as a guard the whole rough ridin' year.
http://www.kstatesports.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/rodney_mcgruder_609226.html
McCamey
Richardson
Cole
Davis
Tisdale
McCamey played the 3 on a number of occasions. He would sometimes point it out to ignorant interviewers, in response to particular questions. "I was playing small forward."
Calling Tisdale a small forward is pretty easy, based on his game. But for expert analysis, I asked Skip Thoren (one of the great all-time Illini). He agreed, absolutely, that Mike Tisdale was a small forward.
Richardson and Brandon Paul were two other guys that often played the wing. Richardson was the full-time 3 last year.
As far as I can tell from reading goEMAW, Weber continues to recruit fives of small forwards, and then asks the shorter ones to man the point, while asking the taller ones to man the pivot.

No. Foster, Johnson, and Thomas are all 5'11-6'2 PGs, SGs.
Maybe in the future, tho

I'm pretty sure Weber wants to continue to go with the 3G/SF/PF line up. I'm okay with that as long as it works.

I don't think he's going to be a star. Hopefully he can give some quality minutes/depth, but that's about his ceiling.
For this team to be a tournament team, 2 returners have to be really good (Shane/Gip most likely), a couple returners have to be decent (Sprads/Nino/DJamer) and several of the young guards are going to have to play really well. The standard is having at least 2 guys that contend for all league 1st/2nd team, we'll see if we have that.

Wasn't it like all the good teams were very close to 40% as a team and the bad ones were close to 30%.

Yeah, I put that together, Bread probably did something too. 35% or better is the target.

This is probably true of most offenses, but when oscar doesn't have three-point shooters his teams struggle mightily to win games. More than average I'd say. His two worst records at Illinois (2007-08: 16-19 and 2011-12: 17-15) were also his two worst three-point shooting teams (31.9% and 30.4% respectively). His next worst three-point shooting team was 2009-10 with 34.0%, which was the only other season he didn't make the tournament. Fun fact, at Illinois if oscar's team shot below 34.9% from three they didn't make the tournament.
The ksu purple go cats last season were at 36.2%, which was only bested by one of oscar's Illinois squads: 39.2% during the NC game season. Point being, I haven't read of any of the incoming youngbloods being known as good outside shooters. The primary reason that the wheels fell off for oscar on the court in his last season at Illinois was that he recruited a bunch of athletic guards that couldn't shoot the three well and that was with a lottery pick at center. This would be my primary concern heading into next season for the fighting purples, just ahead of lack of height and depth in the paint.

Apologies Mr. Bread, that was a clear post. I thought I remembered talking about it at some point in the past, but I can't find the post.
While looking around for something I did review this thread (http://goEMAW.com/forum/index.php?topic=25791.0) and was reminded how much I enjoy talking basketball and advanced stats with my gE brethren. Good stuff, I hope we have some positive stuff to talk about this year when I start putting out the Big 12 ADV stats.

You'd have to think the big win against the Gonzos will result in a recruiting winfall. But what do I nose?

Marcus Sheffield
http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1604550 (http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1604550)
From Eric Bossi
Once his junior season of high school basketball ends, Sheffield hopes to make a trip to Big 12 country.
"I'm going to try to take some visits after the season ends. I don't have any planned right now, but I'll probably go to Kansas State on an official visit. I think more about all that after the season though," Sheffield said.
oscar Weber and his staff were one of the first to offer Sheffield last summer and have been in constant contact ever since.
"Kansas State was one of the first schools to offer last summer," Sheffield said. "They came down recently to see me. I like them a lot. I haven't seen their campus yet though."

http://espn.go.com/college-sports/basketball/recruiting/player/_/id/189311/eric-cobb
Looks like a 3* to me. Unless we're actually recruiting Erik Kobb, not Eric Cobb.

Chris Clarke is athletic slasher that is a very good rebounder and defender. He is starting to blow up. I think he will be a hard pull.

Marcus Sheffield
http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1604550 (http://kansasstate.rivals.com/content.asp?CID=1604550)
From Eric Bossi
Once his junior season of high school basketball ends, Sheffield hopes to make a trip to Big 12 country.
"I'm going to try to take some visits after the season ends. I don't have any planned right now, but I'll probably go to Kansas State on an official visit. I think more about all that after the season though," Sheffield said.
oscar Weber and his staff were one of the first to offer Sheffield last summer and have been in constant contact ever since.
"Kansas State was one of the first schools to offer last summer," Sheffield said. "They came down recently to see me. I like them a lot. I haven't seen their campus yet though."
Quote
Kansas State was one of the first programs to offer Chattahoochee (Ga.) small forward Marcus Sheffield last summer just before his recruitment went to the next level and it looks like the pursuit is heating up even more. As a matter of fact, it appears the four-star prospect is one of the Wildcats' top targets to fill the final scholarship for their 2015 class.
Just how serious is K-State about Sheffield, the No. 87 ranked player in the class? Coach oscar Weber, who is the main recruiter alongside associate head coach Chris Lowery, was in Georgia last week for a visit and the two parties have been in solid contact since.
"It was a good visit," the 6-foot-5, 180-pound wing said. "I like talking to him. I had a good time… They talk to me about how things are going, how their season went, their style of play and stuff like that."
In addition to K-State, Sheffield has listed offers from Clemson, Florida State, Maryland, North Florida, Samford and Xavier and has received reported interest from the likes of Georgia, VCU and Texas A&M. And as it stands, K-State is in good standing with the versatile prospect.
"I don't have a favorite yet, but they'd be at the top. I like them a lot," he said and also admitting he watched several games of the Wildcats this season. "I think they're a good team. They share the ball really well and they get up and run the floor a lot."
Weber's style of play is definitely appealing to Sheffield, one of the premier scorers in state of Georgia who plays AAU with Game Elite, as he goes through the process. As a junior, Sheffield averaged nearly 28 points and 10 rebounds for Chattahoochee this past season.
"My junior season went well. I played well," the Alpharetta native said. "This year I had to be more of a leader so I think I improved on that and also just on my overall game… I've improved my shooting more, my dribbling and ball-handling and I've been getting stronger also."
Sheffield is taking things day-by-day and is starting to break down each program to see what he likes. But one thing is for certain: K-State will still be in the hunt for his services.
"I like it a lot," Sheffield said of recruiting. "It's a fun process and I'm trying to enjoy it."

Here is a scouting report I found:
Quote
6’7 2015 Courtney Williamson of E1T1 and Evans HS in Orlando, FL
Williams is a long and athletic wing that can really defend. He plays with a high motor and is in attack mode the entire game. Williamson’s strongest attribute is getting to the rim. He is quick off the bounce and finishes at a high percentage and doesn’t mind punishing the rim at times. We would have liked to see him knock down some midrange jumpers but he was simply to effective jumping over everyone on the interior. Williamson should become a high priority of regional mid major programs.

2015 OFFERSoscar is returning from Georgia today, I do believe Malik Beasley is the number one target for 2015 (he is vastly underrated i.e he is really good at basketball). Cobb now plays for the same AAU team as Malik, giving the staff an advantage in travel and someone else in his ear.

This is a different situation, Kstate moved Cobb to Malek teams because of Chester's relationship with the AAU coach. That is probably the tidbit that has merit. Now let's hope the AAU coach helps return the favor.

I believe we will make is 5 school cut (schools that get officials). My only fear is that an elite schools goes over the top and completely changes his recruitment. Chester appears to be really solid with his AAU coach.

Texting with Eric Cobb Reply
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I've been texting with the 2015 basketball commit off and on recently, trying to get something set up to do an update. Getting him to text you back is not always a guarantee and getting him to say much is even tougher. However, he told me today (Monday) that he will be taking a visit in June and will want to talk after it. Cobb isn't sure on the exact date of the visit yet, but there's just something to keep an eye out for. Also, when asked if he was still fully committed to K-State, he said yes.
Cobb is playing with the Georgia Stars this summer, which also features 2015 K-State target Malik Beasley, who has seen his recruitment blow up over the past couple weeks and who I did an update with not too long ago, plus some other D-I caliber prospect. In addition to Beasley, some of those include guard William Jackson (UConn commit and No. 48 in 2015) and forward Noah Dickerson (No. 53 in 2015). There will be some good chances for Cobb to showcase his skills this summer if he can get into the core rotation on an already pretty solid team.

While thinking about some shitty D'Jery the Baptist joke, something tedious and not unlike similar jokes he has likely encountered through life, I was divined a glimpse of him not attending Kansas State. My right arm has shooting pains and my tongue has gone numb.
Rick Barnes would be an idiot to pass on this. The only leg fall off of my concern is Myles Turner's. If he has a shitty season and stays for 2015 the chances for everyone outside Texas should get much better.

Was at u 18 fiba championships last night. Ksu recruit Dillon brooks played for team canada against us team. Although Canada got spanked, at times brooks was best player on the floor. USTeam was filled with blue bloods, including 3 duke commits and the turner kid heading to Texas, brooks looked every bit the 4/5 star in comparison. IMO he has slipped through the cracks, but may not much longer.

Someone I know saw Eric Cobb at a tourney in Myrtle Beach this past weekend. They're not much for words, but they did say, "he's good".I can't wait for there to be some for video out for Cobb, All indications is that he is playing very well. He is such a big body and is advertised to have great touch for around the rim to the 3pt line. I believe it is going to be very hard for him to get a lot of hype because the talent pool in Florida this year is just stocked.

C.J. Williamson is a combo PG/SF that is currently a K-State lean on 24/7 none of the big services have scouted him yet.From Earlier, Tennessee was recruiting him hard before the coaching switch. Louisville gave him a hard look.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-lZpvvzwNA (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-lZpvvzwNA)
Here is a scouting report I found:Quote6’7 2015 Courtney Williamson of E1T1 and Evans HS in Orlando, FL
Williams is a long and athletic wing that can really defend. He plays with a high motor and is in attack mode the entire game. Williamson’s strongest attribute is getting to the rim. He is quick off the bounce and finishes at a high percentage and doesn’t mind punishing the rim at times. We would have liked to see him knock down some midrange jumpers but he was simply to effective jumping over everyone on the interior. Williamson should become a high priority of regional mid major programs.

Eric Cobb
Scheduled Visits:
Claws: August 29 (confirmed) - Best player available, He is going to be on the 3/4Star line according to Eric Bossi, think that is a little low if he continues to play at this high level.
The Flush: September 20 (pending) - Is he coming a week before Shamet for a reason? The biggest recruiting weekend for us (Auburn). I think there is a high chance that The Flush is above Shamet on the recruiting depth chart. Believe he could become a big time scorer for us down the road.
Landry Shamet: September 26 (confirmed) - Bossi also said Shamet will be on that 3/4Star line for Rivals.
Class should come to an end really quick. No way someone doesn't get oscar this year, we need to take 3 guys. Hope for Cobb, Wade and Brown. That is a hell of a class.

Right, but after next year we just have DJamer and Bolden. I don't want our only people competing with them for spots to be freshmen.We need to take a 4 and 5 in this class. Cobb, Wade and Silva are all great options. Jack Krap got to go, his scholarship is too valuable now.

Staff is doing a hell of job in staying in a lot of races.

It appears Wichita State believes they can recruit against the big boys now, hope they get mushed.How the hell did we end up in his top 5? That's pretty amazing to me. Who's the lead recruiter on this one?

He is from Houston, so it got to be Alvin. Alvin probably should get a raise after this year.

Verbal Commits:Add Dante Hales-Williams to the list.
Eric Cobb
Scheduled Visits:
Claws: August 29 (confirmed) - Best player available, He is going to be on the 3/4Star line according to Eric Bossi, think that is a little low if he continues to play at this high level.
Dante Hales-Williams: August 29(Confirmed) - Long center start to recently emerge.
The Flush: September 20 (pending) - Is he coming a week before Shamet for a reason? The biggest recruiting weekend for us (Auburn). I think there is a high chance that The Flush is above Shamet on the recruiting depth chart. Believe he could become a big time scorer for us down the road.
Landry Shamet: September 26 (confirmed) - Bossi also said Shamet will be on that 3/4Star line for Rivals.
Class should come to an end really quick. No way someone doesn't get oscar this year, we need to take 3 guys. Hope for Cobb, Wade and Brown. That is a hell of a class.
Assumed future visit:
Chris Silva
Kerwin Roach

It seems weird they are going after guys who seem to be out of their radar. But they have been to a final four and were a 1 seed. They kinda earn to recruit at a higher level. That being said I think most recruits still see them as a mid major. We've already beat them out for Hurt. Can't think the pitch has changed for big boys like us when it comes to going against a school bordered by state streets and a cemeteryDo we offer every kid with a Wichita State offer? Or vice versa?Hopefully. They seem to get it.

Okay, I like Brown a little more after watching this video. His swag is off the charts, and I forgot he was a PG instead of a SG.
Okay, I like Brown a little more after watching this video. His swag is off the charts, and I forgot he was a PG instead of a SG.
I consider Brown a true combo guard, he has all the skills needed to be a good point guard but he can really score it. He has played with a lot of other points guards in his career and has been off the ball a lot. His Junior year he look really good coming off screens to get shoots, something that is needed in oscar's offense.
I think it is fair for us to call him a four star recruit, I really don't care what some of the scouts say. He also fits our system really well.
Between Roach, Brown, Shamet and Gilder we are going to land a very talented player (:star::star::star::star:) at our biggest need. Three of them will be four star recruits.
Claws is also going to be a four star and is consider a heavy K-State lean.
This is the best year of basketball recruiting since 2007.

Claws is supposed to end up a 4*? I can't find much video on him but from what I didn't I definitely didn't get that vibe.I read an article on him that stated that they will bump him up to a four star after the next re-rankings, can't remember the service it was on. I haven't seen much film on him, just know he has been making a lot of noise this summer.

If we do have three slots, I think we'll likely take two guards in addition to Cobb. Despite his elite speed and swag, The Flush still seems raw. Now would be the time to take a project like this with Marcus and Justin still on the roster while he develops. Would probably prefer another guard over Claws.

Somebody should have got proactive about Jack's scholly. What high profile recruit wants to give a verbal then have to wait until the late signing period to officially claim their spot? Losing Stephen, DJamer, Justin and likely Marcus in 2016 makes that extra slot essential for this recruiting class.You don't actually think it is "likely" Foster leaves early, do you?

When did I complain? I said I would love to have him... :dunno: :confused:I don't think he is that great of a shooter, he is an hight ceiling guy. He is super bouncy.I don't know if he is a great shooter, I just love the potential of his jumper, I think he could be an elite scorer eventually.

No. He's like a 6-4 post player.

Concerning redundancy, does anyone know how Claws's game compares to Eric Cobb's? They're the same height and are currently listed with Cobb as only 20 lbs heavier. If we take two forwards in this class I think a stretch 4 (Wade) and an athletic center (Hales-Williams) would be ideal. I guess I'm asking whether Cobb could fill that stretch 4 type roll, I thought that's what we're going for with the 4...
Post by: Mixed-Nutz on August 27, 2014, 08:32:15 PM
this weekend will host Kerwin Roach, Claws and Dante Hales-Williams. I would dance on Gene Keady's future grave just to sign all three, skill sets of each would make a great recruiting class.

Cobb is a bid boy, nothing close to a stretch 4. He is huge. If Wade developed he could move to a 3.
Post by: uncle clean jeans on August 27, 2014, 08:43:52 PM
I was thinking the same thing about Wade possibly playing as a wing. If Gip does get most of his minutes as a 4 next season (and also nino), when they graduate there needs to be new options at the 3 and 4. No doubt Wes and Malek can hold it down but at least one guy who could play either (like Wade) would be ideal for this recruiting class.this weekend will host Kerwin Roach, Claws and Dante Hales-Williams.

Concerning the lack of ranking- he still has a senior year left to play and make noise. I think it would be different if he committed towards the end of the year without making waves, but based on film it appears like he is truly under the radar. Just give it some time.
So, with recruits set to visit this weekend and our two available scholarship slots spoken for, how does the final scholarship spot pan out?

Get good players to commit, sort out the nonsense later. Attrition happens every year at almost every school. One of our guards will probably transfer after this year, and scottwildcat keeps saying that Jack K will get Bruced. It will work itself out.

Okay cool. Just to be clear, could we sign a commitment for say Jack's scholarship spot before Jack actually leaves, or would said player have to GTFO and relinquish their scholarship before any signing could actually occur? I'm not used to the idea of oversigning but I know it does happen, I don't really understand the "legality" of it

We had to push The Flush for a commitment and it doesn't make sense to do it before Roach's visit unless we want to take both. I think is a great commit and always thought of him as the guy the staff couldn't lose. But Roach has such elite athleticism and is still a very skilled player.

Essentially if you land Roach you have to make room for him and it is natural to cut who would be below him on the depth chart. Even tho I like tre.

Bob Putnam of the Tampa Bay Times got this. This is the only thing I've seen or heard other than Twitter.
Gibbs guard The Flush announced on Twitter that he has committed to Kansas State.
Brown's decision comes a week after he narrowed his college choices to four schools and set up official visits for next month. He was supposed to visit Kansas State on Sept. 17.
"I already knew in my hear Kansas State was where I wanted to go," Brown said. "It would have been a devastating blow if I waited and someone else filled my spot. I really thought about waiting it out, but I wanted to make sure I got what I wanted."
Brown said his recruiting consisted of phone conversations with the Wildcats' coaching staff. He still has not seen the campus, but plans to make his official visit in September.
"I love the fan base and the crowd support they get," Brown said. "I had a great connection with the coaches and feel like they have my back and are looking out for my best interest."

Gotta lock up d.wade this weekend, we need him for 2015. Cobb is also an excellent recruit but maybe he's a less urgent fill on the roster, if he comes in 2015 he would likely be behind Stephen and DJamer at the 5, so reclassifying for 2016 might not be a bad idea if he's cool with it. That of course depends on whether we're hard up for another 2015 schollie in the next few months :crossfingers:

Based on the videos, I liked Brown better than Roach. Roach is quicker and can jump higher, but Brown seems to have better developed skills including excellent handles, is a more intuitive player, and has a more well rounded game overall.
That is the main reason I like Brown, he can score in so many ways. He has such natural feel for the game and if you add the fact he is no chump athletically, you have a great player.

Post by: eskiddy3 on August 29, 2014, 12:07:12 PM
Keep in mind it's just speculation but I doubt we've given up on landing another guard. It seems more likely that rather than running off roach, he's being more pragmatic after receiving hype from the rivals ranking (maybe we were towards the bottom of the list, we were late on him). I bet a lot of programs have been in his ear talking all sorts of crap this week, he's probably rethinking strategy and saving an official by not taking a visit this weekend.Wendell Michell would be great too. I just hope we open up one more scholarship

It seems more likely that rather than running off roach, he's being more pragmatic after receiving hype from the rivals ranking (maybe we were towards the bottom of the list, we were late on him). I bet a lot of programs have been in his ear talking all sorts of crap this week, he's probably rethinking strategy and saving an official by not taking a visit this weekend.
preferred guards in order:
-wendell mitchell (scores 30ppg!, rebounds and assists above average)
-landry shamet
-admon gilder (gilder can score the ball but averages less than one assist per game)
We are done taking guards, Roach really liked K-State. We are going to take Wade who should commit with in the next 2 weeks and be done with the class. The roster is already guard heavy.

I'm sure he doesn't have much to choose from for highlights since he hasn't been in the AAU circuit or anything, but his video is not that impressive for a borderline top 100 kid.

He was never consistent enough to go "Will Spradling would've made that play" - Maybe a fast break where someone tries to take a charge and gets a defensive foul?

First off the Weber Clan have been following this kid for the last 2 years. Wade's Dad played FB for the Cats at DB in the mid 80's for one season before transferring to a school in Illinois. Entire family are big KSU fans. Have seen this kid play a lot over the last 2 years.
Here's how this thing went down. Wade had a decent AAU season after his Soph. year. Not great but good. Cat clan talking too him a lot but no offer. Wade wants to be a CAT but no offer on the table. Wade has another good Jr. year in HS ball and wins his second state championship for a small school in KS. Nobody in D1 is evaluating you for any of this nonsense. If they are at a HS game it's for PR strictly.
Wade has some early AAU tournaments and plays good. Wade still wants to come to CAT land but still no offer. CATS finally tell Wade they don't have a scholarship for him as they are looking at offering a guard. Wade's not happy.
Next weekend Wade goes to Dallas and plays in the GASO in Dallas and destroy's the field. Not just a little but completely. Weber and the fellers are in the house and you can see a oh crap in their eyes!!!! Big meeting with coaching staff afterwards when they get back.
The following week Wade goes to Vegas and he destroy's the #7 power forward in the country Ivan Rabb that plays for the Oakland Soldiers. Soldiers also have the #2 center in the country Zimmerman as well. OS win this game by about 7 or so but the two dominating players in the game were Wade and Zimmerman. Another oooohhhhh crap look on the Cats coaches faces.
Next week their is an offer on the table. My guess is that if this hadn't gone down the way it did Wade would already be a CAT. Kid can flat out play. At 6'9" can handle it, pass, shoot it from 3, and defend. This kid isn't any Will Spradling or Josh Reid. Will not be an All-American his freshman year and will need to put on some weight and strength on but the kid can flat play. Unless the coaching staff screws this one up bad he will be a cat. EWAW, Every Wade a Wildcat.

He did move to McPherson to play for a great program and Coach Kinnamon. Coach Kinnamon's son also played on the same AAU team as a point guard. Not sure why they moved but I'm guessing due to all the stuff that went down with Manhattan High's BB team last year. Someone else can speak to the circus last year at MHS.

Thank you watershed for your post about D-Wade. In the last couple of days he has been called a hillbilly, white guy, and referred to as a peon from podunk. He is the real deal. Close to a top100. Malek was in the upper nineties and everyone was having orgasms and one guy was maturbating. Recruitment of Wade is going over like a loud fart in church in some Cat circles. The boy sounds like a rebirth of Carl Gerlach and Ed Nealy, real men with hairy chests that made it to the NBA. They were tough and mean and could intimidate the devil to the point of him losing bladder control. I look forward to watching Wade -- the hillbilly from hell, the white tornado, podunk phenom play for KSU.

Don't think he's a Hillbilly but does like to hunt and fish, take long rides through the Flinthills, and only dates hot chicks in purple. Takes daily showers. Doesn't beat women or smoke dope like the dorks to the east. Say's "Yes Sir" and "How fast do you want me to do it correctly."

The fundamental spot left to fill with this class is the 5 man. However, we'd be making a mistake to give up on signing another SG. it may not be good for chemistry but you can't fault a coach for protecting himself against possible transfers. JT was supposedly ready to go at the end of last season. Marcus' stock might be highest alongside Justin (Jake and Clemente?), if he leaves alongside him the cupboard will be bare. oscar won't stop, can't stop now :emawkid: he likes the way it makes him feel :ump:

Chris Silva -- Wildcat. Goes together good. Articles about this kid say he would be a nugget and the sky is the limit. He is from Gabon, Africa and only has played organized BB for 3 years. He kept Karl Towns (Kentucky stud recruit) in check at the NJ state HS tournamet. Villinova seems to be fading with SO Carolina making headway. He says he will make a visit to KSU. If he does, I hope he get the charming Weber whamo. Then get the signing pen working!!!!!
That's great and all, but I'd like to see his lion killing stats before I get too excited.

Who do you get rid of to allow us a shot at Shamet? I think Brown is a great get and I'm not sure I'd give up BB for L. Shamet. Further, we really need some size in this class. Wade is a great get and could end up at 6'10". I guess we could have told Cobb to kick rocks but I still think a big man is more important than adding Shamet.
If we had lost Wade to WSU and still not landed Shamet I would be concerned right now...but that's not what happened so I'm all :ksu:

It blatantly apparent who the better player is.

I think it comes down on just getting good players. I think most people who followed recruiting new Jake, Denny, Angel, Foster, Westicles and Brown(:crossfingers:) were top talent guys.
I don't think oscar can keep this pace up of landing unheralded studs, last year was so special. But I think he should ability to out evaluate other staffs around the country.

Nino Williams being ranked as a four star is still so weird to me. I remember looking at his film for the first time and being very sad. I talked to Wayne Simien in an attempt to cheer me up about his fellow Pioneer, but he made me even more sad.

Ah, forgot about Bennett. And if I remember correctly, Nino was a midrange 3* on most sites and a 4* on only rivals. Obviously rivals is generally the most accurate one, but still.

Dom was pretty awesome, IMO.
Dom was worth 4 stars easily. Jfc Wacky.

Both Nino and Jamar were going to be four stars when they were going reclassified, but they both made to campus before hand.
Nino was a four star.

Silva indicated he would like to announce his choice of college by his birthday on Sept. 19. Articles have given dates for visits to Seton Hall, Rhode Island, and South Carolina. These same articles say he is likely to set a date for KSU. Has anyone heard anything about an official visit scheduled for him?
Hopefully September 18th for the Auburn game and then commits to us the 19th, like said. :crossfingers:
but, I have absolutely no clue if and when he's gonna set a date.

Let's not pretend rankings have little to no value. Do you want your entire roster to be DITR'mined by oscar? What if he fails to hit paydirt several years in a row?No, but places like the phog are doing the samething in reversed fashion. "Like, omg, K-State landed this Wade loser who's only a 3* (but we won't mention he's a top 150 guy)". It's very bazaare. In the last two years oscar has landed two top 150 guys and sprinkled in a few DITR that have worked out for us. One of them is favored for Big 12 player of the year. :surprised:

oscar has done well in most phases of recruiting - recruiters, philosophy, and targets. It could change down the line, and it's shocking, but that's what's happened.

Combo Forward in Claws (Can play the 3 or 4) - Has a great shot of ending up a 4 star. Has great versatility
Traditional Power forward in Eric Cobb - Florida sources are really high on him
Traditional Center in Dante Hales-Williams - Got a really good frame and is quite athletic have heard the rest of his game is starting to really come around. I do believe Dante is far along than JO was at this time in his career. But JO should great hand eye coordination for some one his size. Also JO was stupid long.
Ohh and we told Roach to eff off for some reason.
Wonder is Cobb is set to go prep school? Maybe we sent him up to the baltimore Catholic league for more exposure? (Weird move tho)
I get chasing Williams he has a chance to put some unique skills/talents together and become great a player, but I don't think we are in the position to take him over some other quality recruits. And I think he is the 4th best commit by far. But I haven't seen Cobb first hand.

Most likely for academic support of some sort. I was not aware, but a couple years ago the NCAA upped the academic requirements for incoming student athletes beginning with the 2016 class.

http://www.ncaa.com/news/ncaa/article/2012-04-26/new-eligibility-standards-start-2016
If Cobb is on the fence academically I think you do anything you can to get him in w/ 2015 because it would be easier for him to qualify. Bmore may be a move to help do this (would also mean someone in addition to Jack would need to pack their sh*t this season). If he does reclassify to 2016 I hope he stays w/ us, he'll have a lot of good experience b/w florida, maryland and wherever he attends prep school

It would be cool if Weber could convince one of these players to be walk on for a year like Baker at WSU. Probably no kid on the roster could afford that. With everybody on the team on the kick of loving each other like family, axing someone could screw things up between them. They seem to really like each other, including Jackhop K. Daddy Weber may have to break a kiddo's heart. Can he be that ruthless?Pretty sure Baker had a scholly to WSU from the jump. We tried to get him to walk on here

Quote
Hales wants to major in Engineering.
Texas Hoops Analysis:DANTE is a super long paint player that is a really good shot-blocker. He understands how to play defense and controls the paint. He gets on the glass on both ends and runs the floor hard. He plants himself on the block and uses his long arms as a target for his point guard to get him the ball. He is developing on offense but can score around the rim, and finish strong. He is always in position to get put-backs and will work hard.

After Hill left I thought are evaluation of incoming players went down hill. Baker should of got a preferred walk on easily. Angel and Gip our the only players that pan out during that time.

It is cold in Reno Kansasland this morning. Just like recruiting news - does this mean we are done for this cycle. It seems like we get the cold shoulder from traditional tall froshmen centers. Even that 7'5" Taco Sticko guy seemed to have no interest. Relying on Juco and transfers for centers seems risky. Any thoughts as to why we can't recruit these type of players? Do we want to? Are they needed to win in the tournament?We don't nerd centers, it's not 1986 anymore

Thanks for the confirmation. I live in limited tech area. Sounds like my wish this morning for a big center came true. One source has him at 6'10 another at 7 foot. He is suppose to be very atheletic.
Does the internet you connect to gE with not allow you to connect to the rest of the inter webs?

Texas center xWhomper is one of the most athletic seven-footers to come through the grassroots system in recent memory. The 2015 big moves like a taller and more fluid Serge Ibaka, running the floor gracefully and flying across the lane to block shots that look out of reach. He is still raw offensively and disappeared at times, but if he can put it all together and learn to use his athleticism, the results could be scary.

Losing a recruit to UNLV would be heart breaking. This should be an easy land. I wonder how his best friend, Admon Gilder, recruiting is going. I don't want to see SMU pick up another high quality local cruit.
Coleman seems like he should be wrapped up, but Illinois does not land elite Indiana talent ever. Shouldn't matter, but it's been the case all the way back through Lon, Bill and oscar. He's really rough ridin' good. Amazing three-point shooter. I want him more than Evans even. :crossfingers:
As for Thomas, I just can't see us landing a highly-rated Texas big. Seems out of character for Illinois hoops. It reeks of a 2nd place Illinois finish like with Jalen Brunson, Cliff Alexander, and Demetrius Jackson recently. He'll pick one of the local schools at a press conference and Illinois will be right there to have its dicked squarely kicked. crap's mumped.
Word on Moore is he's just begging for a Kentucky offer and then he's theirs. If they don't want him, seems Illinois might be the favorite. :dunno:

It's starting to seem like he is actually a very good recruiter like he was billed to be. I feel good about that if it comes true.
He also doesn't ramble on like a confused shitbrain like Zook and Weber did or Beckman does. It's nice not to want to punch your coach in the face everytime he speaks.
If he doesn't win I will feel not good about him at all though. #Ws

That adidias thing doesn't count for Kentucky obviously. They get whoever they want. Bragg isn't really a top priority at the moment. Regardless, Illinois is at best sucking UCLA and KU butt in this one.

I mean if Groce is going to get involved with kids that are looking for some extra bennies then he needs to pony the eff up and quit trying to be their dad and preacher. Otherwise stop rough ridin' around with them. I mean Alexander and Evans and now Thomas and then Bragg. Enough is enough is what I always say. Play the game or sit it out advises this learned dossie hound.Its is funny how people think AAU teams can't change affiliation. Or how adidas and nike care more about professional contacts than college affiliation. One and done recruits play by different rules.

Why is the Adidas/Nike thing a big deal for recruits? What happens if/when their game doesn't mesh with the coaches style of play or they aren't as good as they've been hyped as and spend three or four years at the school.
Cash and goodies for them or those around them. The rest of that is just the cost of doing business.

So we might have two four star commits and it is debatable that they are our 2 worst commits. :gocho:
so now the question is who is getting Bruced besides Jack Krap

There was a lot of rumors about Jevon possibly transferring this offseason, if he doesn't get PT this year AND we have The Flush coming in, then it's a very real possibility. I don't understand what's so hilarious about that.

Post by: ksupamplemousse on October 20, 2014, 11:45:25 AM
Because those rumors that had nothing to do with the truth. There seems to be a group of people that want Jevon to transfer because they can't understand his skill set and what he can bring to the basketball team. Both players will have a role this year and next year.
People were speculating that he might transfer, because he wasn't playing any minutes at the end of the year. When point guards don't play, they usually transfer. Somebody out there always needs a point guard. Of course we've got a role for him, but if he can't hack it, then he'll be gone (I think he'll play well this year, but it's no guarantee).

I know lots of guys have a tough lift, but Thomas' has legitimately been really, really tough. (http://www.nydailynews.com/sports/high-school/jevon-thomas-lebrent-walker-support-tough-times-thriving-long-island-article-1.150159). Besides the family stuff, 3 high schools in 4 years doesn't make things any easier. Plus starting at semester after not being able to practice. I hope he finds his role and has a lot of success this year for the Cats.

CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — Udoka Azubuike is 6-10 and 268 pounds, has a wingspan of 7-5 and in the past week, has picked up offers from Kentucky, Duke and Kansas.
He’s also only 14.
“Sunday was the first day coaches could call to make an offer, but it wasn’t that busy because it was Father’s Day,” said Steve McLaughlin, Azubuike’s coach at Potter’s House Christian Academy (Jacksonville).
“But on Monday, I got calls about him, back-to-back-to-back.”
In April, at the Jordan Brand Classic International game in Brooklyn, N.Y., Azubuike grabbed his own rebound of a dunk attempt with one hand and slammed it so hard other players on the court at the Barclays Center briefly stopped to watch. Even at the NBA Players Association Top 100 Camp this week in Charlottesville, where most of the players are two to four years older than Azubuike, his ferocity going for a dunk, a block or a rebound draws attention.
Born in Lagos, Nigeria, Azubuike has been playing organized basketball for only three years. While he still makes plenty of mistakes on the court, his upside has people wondering if he’s the next big thing, with the emphasis on big. He’s listed as the No. 2 center in the 2016 class by ESPN.com.
“I went to a couple of camps and that’s how I got here,” Azubuike said. “I played soccer when I was little, but I gave it up when I started playing basketball three years ago.”
When he was discovered at a Basketball Without Borders camp in Nigeria a couple of years ago, he was only 6-8 and 190 pounds.
“A friend of mine who was at the camp and knew Udoka’s coach in Nigeria told me he had this kid who was pretty good even though he didn’t know anything about basketball,” McLaughlin said. “I told him to put him on a plane. He was really raw when he first got here. I could only put him on the court for a couple of minutes here or there. He would foul every time on defense and on offense, he was like a chicken running around with its head cut off. This year, though, was a total transformation. We ran our offense around him.”
In 2013-14 as a sophomore, Azubuike averaged 17.2 points and 9.6 rebounds a game for the Lions, who finished second in the Sunshine Independent Athletic Association state tournament.
Azubuike said he gets plenty of competition in practice as he is one of three players 6-9 or over on the Lions’ roster, including 6-9 Kansas State commit Eric Cobb, who will be a senior next fall and 6-10 post Usman Harumna, another Nigerian national, one of four on the Lions’ roster.

Yep it was between K-State and Texas. We decided to take The Flush ahead of him. Most of the guards in the Big 12 class really fit what their coaches want. Roach is bigger for Texas because he can shoot, something that has been missing for them.

Glad Barry is finding some love. He jumped CJ Williamson (#25) who we were high on for a bit. Kerry Blackshear is just two spots above him, going to play for Buzz. His stuff is really picking up too with Chris Clarke's recent flip. I guess if you're a decent coach jumping ship for a dumpster fire might not be a bad move after all- if you're willing to deal with the temporary headache. The upside of 13 expendable scholarship spots could be huge.
Post by: Mixed-Nutz on November 07, 2014, 02:01:17 PM
Lots of good players on that list. Interestingly, Frank hasn't grabbed a single state of Florida recruit since Demetrius Henry who he originally got on at Kansas State. All indications are he doesn't need to either, his recruiting has picked back up and his team should be pretty good this year.

Shaky is done coaching, his connections are drying up in Florida. He will continue recruit the northeast and locally. You got to remember Frank loves burning bridges.

Frank is recruiting better, but until Frank demonstrates that he's capable of putting anything on the floor that doesn't resemble a complete offensive (and in many cases defensive) crap show the jury is still out on Frank in a post Underwood world.

He might appear to be before they get on the court, but we all know that really doesn't matter. The two 4-Star recruits he has landed have been in state.

Yeah, Bolden doesn't look encouraging, especially after he already spent a year with the program. We have to really hope DJamer recovers because we could be extremely thin and inexperienced at the 5 spot if he doesn't. Hurt could be really solid with a year of development though.

Hurt really needs to work on his body. I am really worried about DJamer getting healthy. Wade is so skilled for his size, I think we should have high hopes for him. He might end up a three instead of a four. Bolden is still a question mark has't really played a enough. He is suppose to be a rim protector and translation player.

I like Wade a lot, but he's going to need work on being physical. I saw one of his recent games against St. John's best 2A competition in Central Plains. He does a ton of things, but he's not really a banger, even at that level. To be a 3 or oscar's swing 4 he'll have to put on a little bit a weight and learn to be more physical. But you are correct, he's extremely skilled and I think he could be a really good player here.

If Cobb qualifies I could see Bolden sailing away. I don't know how Hardnett fills into the plan, would assume he is a back up option.

Point guards seem to be at a premium in the 2015 class, but 4-star prospect Jashire Hardnett is a strong, attacking lead guard who is still mulling over his college decision.:dunno:
“Right now I am hearing from Murray State, Georgetown, Kansas State, LSU and Virginia Tech,” said the senior who recently was named to the All-Tournament Team at the Chick-fil-A Classic in South Carolina.
Hardnett is a newcomer to the sunshine state after transferring to Arlington Country Day from Mississippi’s Gulfport High School. As a junior, he averaged over 22 points and helped lead Gulfport to a ninth state championship. “I moved to ACD to play against better competition and to see where my game stand on the national level.”
The high scoring point guard says he is looking for a program that fits his pace of play and has stability in their coaching staff. “Recruiting is going good right now. I’m still open and wanted to make a decision by the end of the month,” added Hardnett.
The Apaches travel to Kentucky this weekend for two high profile games followed by the bulk of their SIAA schedule where they are looking to defend their 2013-14 championship.

I saw Hardnett out in Las Vegas. He's a speedy guard with very good handles. There's not much of a perimeter game, but he can break his defender down well and finish at the hole. He graded out very well actually, especially for an unranked player. The knock on him would be the lack of a perimeter game, his size, and upside. Hardnett is a high-IQ floor general that gets up and down the floor in a hurry. A different point guard than Wisconsin usually goes after for sure. I do like Wisconsin potentially making a move. The cupboard is pretty bare for uncommitted point guards right now. Going into Mississippi to try and get one of the top players still available is a little bit outside of Wisconsin's comfort zone, so it's encouraging to see the coaching staff recruit nationally after a Final Four run.
Quote
1" 2015 power guard, Hardnett has the physique of a young Jameer Nelson. Teamed in the backcourt with Lamonte Turner, he looked to score at this event more than necessarily create for teammates. At the next level, he will need to continue to develop his three-point shot, tighten his physique, and become more of a distributor. Still, there is room for compact lead guards who have a nose for scoring. After winning a state title in Mississippi, Hardnett came to ACD to improve his individual game and get more national exposure. He visited UTEP last month and is scheduled to take an official visit to Murray State this coming weekend. He said that he has been offered by Maryland, Georgetown, and Wisconsin since arriving at ACD. He is looking to set up official visits to Georgetown and Wisconsin.

oscar has been watching LHC Bill Snyder see how many walk-ons he can play and still win 9-10 games, and oscar thought he'd try to do the same thing with guys who can't shoot. I think they have a standing chicken nuggets bet. Not sure what the particulars are though.

The Flush 6-3 Combo guard out of St. Petersburg, FL
The Flush has been absolutely killing it is in senior year, has shown improved bounce this year and is looking like an elite athlete.
Points Per Game: 23.3 2FG%: 69%
Assists Per Game: 2.2 3FG%: 48%
Rebounds Per Game: 4.6 FT%: 73%
Steals Per Game: 2.8
Barry is a true combo guard and has shown the ability to score at all three levels. His eFG% is off the charts and should give us some excitement. He is also very good in ball screen situations something that is missing from our current team. He is my favorite recruit in the oscar Weber era.
Claws 6-8 Combo Forward out of St. John, KS
Points Per Game: 20.8 2FG%: 72%
Assists Per Game: 2.6 3FG%: 50% (9-18) is 45% in HS Career
Rebounds Per Game: 8.5 FT%: 73%
Steals Per Game: 2.8
Blocks Per Game: 3.5
Dean is a very skilled combo forward and is a proficient shooter, has shown ability to be a straight line driver off his left and right hand. Offensively the game comes easy to him. The questions is for Wade is how he will handle the physicality at the next level (A question that should be asked about 98% of all big men). Earlier this summer the word was the Wade held his own against Stephen Zimmerman a selected Burger boy.
xWhomper 7-0 Center out of Arlington, Texas
Points Per Game: 10.8
Assists Per Game: 0.2
Rebounds Per Game: 6.8
Steals Per Game: 0.5
Blocks Per Game: 3.7
Dante is born to be a shot blocker, he is a tall and lengthy kid that appears to have a frame that could add a ton of good weight. He moves well for his size. He has a chance to be a hell of an enforcer. He has shown marginal hands and ball skills. He is a wait and see type of kid. He is a highlight that shows some raw ability. Wish he had a better motor. Wouldn't project him to be more than a role player.

Eric Cobb 6-9 Forward-Center out of Baltimore, MD
Points Per Game: 6.9 2FG%: 55%
Assists Per Game: 0.4 3FG%: N/A
Rebounds Per Game: 7.8 FT%: 28%
Steals Per Game: 0.2
Blocks Per Game: 0.4
Eric Cobb is a load of a man, I really hope he qualifies. Every team needs an enforcer, Eric can really bang a natural back to the basket player that gets after it on the boards. He moves very well for his size and has ton of soft weight to cut. Has great hands and has shown signs of a promising face up jumper. He has a high ceiling, can become a go-to guy on the block.

I believe we have always had a issues with getting big that can be developed to an elite level. Hard to find great project bigs. This is why Frank landing Upshaw was such a big deal, was huge recruiting win. We will see what Alvin and Chester can bring in the next couple of years.
BTW Cobb is a 4 Star on ESPN. So that is a good sign. Dante worries me, I would put him in the JO boat.

Cobb's size alone basically guarantees some degree of contribution next season, and based on how thin we are at the 5 he might be the most important piece of this recruiting class. If there's a year for him to sneak in 2015 is it, the standards to qualify are only getting steeper in 2016.
Do you have any legitimate info on DJamer not making it back in time or are you just speculating

Nigel or Jevon will leave. Having two "point guards" in that class is unfortunate, especially since they both suck. The Flush will be an upgrade over what we have there. Neither can play another position. Tre may also leave because he lacks the athleticism to play at this level, but it won't be to make room for anyone in particular.

Just take a van to somewhere out west of junction that is super small timey, open the sliding door and make a sound like court burn. Close the door, drive back, and try super hard.
I don't have a rough ridin' clue what this means, but somebody tell me something about the juco PG we're getting that's awesome.

If we hire Brad after this season, any chance we get Angel to transfer and be a part of the team for Foster's senior year?
yes, that all sounds very realistic

I do believe the staff wants a back up point guard. Next year will should have better scoring/shooting options.

This staff has appeared to be very conditional offer happy. I believe it is the right strategy. Nigel appears to be closer to 2 guards that a combo. ARate in conference play is down to 16.6%.

He is hard to project. I Would hope we could get him and Malek on the court at the same time. Malek could be a defensive 3 and Wade an offensive 3.

That's pretty big for a 4 these days.

Can we expect The Flush to move up the rankings since everyone is calling him a steal or w/e ?
The state of Florida's scouting seems to all ways be poor. Angel was an unranked 3 star, never understood that.
Karwin Roach is ranked 34th by Espn. He was scheduled for an official at K-State earlier in the year (Was not as highly rated at that time). A couple days before Karwin's visit Berry committed to K-State and the coaches canceled Karwin's visit. I believe Barry was higher on K-States board than Roach. For the following reasons, Barry was the firsts recruit in fall of 2014 to setup a visit and was setup on the biggest weekend of the year (Auburn). He was always a priority, second K-State could have pushed Barry's commitment back and ask him to be sure and see the campus first.
I tend to agree with the staff that Barry is a better player. I believe he has a better handle than Karwin. But mostly are very comparable players. I am not saying Barry is a top 30 recruit, I haven't watched enough tape to make that kind of statement. I also think comparing players of different positions is worthless and difficult. But I do believe Barry and Karwin are very comparable. The truth probably lies in the middle Karwin is overrated a tad and Barry is underrated. Here is some film.
Karwin Roach

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlnyUvtH7Qo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlnyUvtH7Qo) - Lastest video, believe his athleticism has improved since the summer.
Barry played AAU ball with Antonio Blakeney (Ranked 13 in 2015 class) and I think that covered up Barry a bit.

Not really, what happens is the coaching staff will use their connections to allow the player to land softly (at mid major). But this all happens at the end of the season. Last year there was a certain Nebraskaballer that was going to get the boot and land softly. But at the end of the day Nebraska couldn't find a kid to fill the scholarship and the player came back.

Put him on the potential PG transfer list.
He's not a PG chief. Not even a little in an extreme emergency. Couldn't shoot from three and couldn't finish at the rim on the rare occasions he could get there. Zero displayed ability to distribute. He was surprisingly bad. Not surprising in the least he got franked. Midseason though is something.

Strengths:
Stokes is a true point guard that is ultra quick with matching speed. He pushes the ball with pace and can hit open shots with ramge to the arc. He is run the halfcourt offense and can make plays at end of clock situations. He can drive, draw and kick or drop off passes to open teammates. Stokes also applies excellent ball pressure. He is tough and competes on both ends and also has some leadership ability to go along with his passion to play.
Weaknesses:
Adding strength is key for stoles along with being a consistent leader and producer all in which he is more than capable.
Bottom Line:
Stokes is a true point guard that is a high major minus and is no lower than mid major plus. His speed, quickness and ability to make shots as needed make him a extremely attractive player that possesses tremendous upside for his position.

Stokes, who committed on Saturday, is a 2015 point guard from Fork Union (VA), by way of Baltimore. A former Toledo commit, the three-star was garnering attention from Virginia Tech, UAB, William & Mary, Butler, Clemson and others. The school who invested a large sum of time into him was Kansas State. With Baltimore being a hotbed of talent that the Wildcats frequently target, it made sense that Stokes would be highly regarded with their need for a point guard.
The three-star floor general - who is quick, boasts a high IQ and knows how to run an offense - is a perfect fit in most spots. For what Kansas State needed, he will fit in very well. He committed to Kansas State and joins Claws, The Flush and xWhomper in the 2015 class, while Eric Cobb remains committed but unsigned.

With Nigel's new found aggressiveness, I would like him to play more 2. But he has the ability to play the backup point guard. I could see Tre getting pushed out. He is a defensive liability, I think we kind of have a long jam at the 2. Marcus, Edwards, Nigel and Barry. Puts a priority on wings in next years class.

The guy that really needs to go is Bolden, but it would be tough to do that to him. If he could graduate early and transfer to a small D1 or could land at a lower level school in the Carolinas near home, that would be the only way.
oscar has zero qualms ruining a young mans life fortunately for us.

How many are we Brucing? Sounds like we have a ton of offers out there and now another commit. I hope we don't keep Jevon and cut Nigel.
Take this for what it's worth, but I was talking to a member of the team who believes that Nigel, Tre, and Marcus are transferring. Nigel and Tre want to start (lol at Tre). I tend to believe the part about Nigel as I've heard him say that he doesn't enjoy coming off the bench. I don't think anyone would be surprised about Marcus leaving after the way the season has went.

I think it i fair to assume that Cobb will have to go to a year of prep school. I think it is also fair to assume that the rest of the rest of the PG offers are now dead.
The one thing I thought was interesting was us offering a JUCO PF last week. But the staff might be worried about DJamer's health.
Now players could decide to leave on their own, but I don't think that is a fun game to play.

Yeah I was thinking the same thing about Nigel (especially after the last two games) but the more I hear it doesn't seem like he enjoys playing for oscar. I've also noticed a couple of back handled complements from oscar about Nigel's play recently such as yesterday when oscar commented that Nigel played well but casually slipped in something about Nigel asking the coaches a question for the first time at K-State, implying that he is just now starting to care about improving or getting better. Maybe I'm reading too far into it, I don't know. His attitude is difficult to gauge because he's a naturally quiet dude and wouldn't necessarily be vocal about being happy or unhappy.

oscar even acknowledged that he "won" both games and should have been Big 12 POW. I would think with that potential you'd want to keep him.

We could see some players leave on their own accord. But we should all hope not to see that. We have been recruiting a PG for a while now and I believe the staff has always seen Nigel more of a 2 than a 1.

When asked about Nigel Johnson's combined 18.5 point-average against No. 8 Kansas and No. 12 Iowa State, oscar Weber attributed it to attention to detail.
"In our shoot-around today, he asked his first question in two years," Weber said. "So he actually paid attention and asked us about how to guard something. He's made some progress."

That is why I think he runoff rules makes it interesting. Lets say oscar contacts a Mid Major program that wants to take Bolden on. Then he instructs Bolden and the coach to apply for the runoff rule to become immediately eligible. Boldens happy because he wants to play, something that wouldn't happen at K-State. Mid Major U is happy because they get a player they want. K-State is happy because they have an open scholarship. Think it is interesting and can be used the right way.

I'm not sure if coaches can call other schools to inquire about taking a kid, seems like tampering. Also I'm not sure what you're referring to when you say " new run off rule," but the NCAA has had a run off rule since 2012. They have the ability to grant waivers if a school was judged to run off to have run off that player, but they rarely grant the waiver. OU tried to cheat the system with DGB in football but it didn't work.

With Nigel's ascendancy, Stokes' addition is problematic for Thomas.
DJamer may never play again, so Bolden may be needed for next year. Hales-Williams needs development.
Pick between Tre, Thomas, Nigel, or Foster. Bolden isn't going anywhere.
Post by: kso_FAN on March 03, 2015, 07:20:15 AM
Running off Bolden doesn't fix anything. Adding The Flush, assuming Foster stays, makes Tre the #4 shooting guard behind Foster, Edwards, and Brown.

It looks and feels like a light has gone on for Nigel, and I think the coaches are going to continue to play him for 25+ minutes a game for the rest of the year.
The logjam is at the 2. Foster starts, and if he comes back, and he plays like the Foster we know he is, he's going to get 25 minutes, minimum, depending on his conditioning. Edwards has been doing a good job floating between the off guard and wing spot. To be honest, next year, I don't see anyone getting much PT behind them, Brown included.
Which leads us back to Nigel. He does spot work at the two when Foster and Westicles are on the bench, but given how much oscar loves seniors, my guess is that Edwards plays a ton as the sixth man. That leaves chances off the ball at a minimum. So, if we're going to play him, it's at the point. Based on comments by oscar, I conclude that they question his defense or lack of concern for it. But if he comes around there, Jevon really has no place to go. Also, considering that Jevon is the only pure point on the roster, and we just got a pure point, it leads me to believe we're going to try and find him a home.
Tre may be content sitting the bench. I have no idea. If he left too, I'd rather we hold his scholarship for a transfer post or hold it until 2016.

I'd hate to lose him. I get why he'd leave, but I hope he stays. I know that he had a little bit of an uptick near the end of last year, and that didn't translate to the beginning of this year, but I can't imagine what it would be like to sit there and watch Jevon go out there for 30 minutes a night and sit behind that lack of production.
Of course, I know that the stats in your link probably prove my "lack of production" talking point moot, and Jevon does other things that earn him PT. It's just really, really hard to get past the subjective, "eye test" things like mind numbing turnovers, lack of offensive skills, etc.
It also looked like Nigel was much more comfortable when pushing the ball up the floor with pace than when we slowed it down. I noticed a number of times when he was making really good decisions on and off the ball while in transition.

1& 2 will just be blurred part of the time. Probably have multiple times with two 2's in the game combo guarding their faces off.
I still like Wes taking point every so often. If DJamer is in doubt, Wes will probably be a stretch 4 more often than not.
Wes is as much of a college point guard as Nino is. Also if DJamer isn't in doubt he still isn't playing anymore than 10 mpg

Also, if DJamer is healthy, it will be extremely disappointing if he can't get more than 10 min. However, with an injury of that type and his size/weight, it wouldn't surprise me if never gets fully back to what he was.

I took to mean even if he fully healed up he'd still not play 10mpg. Which is weird because I thought he progressed well last season.

Post by: wetwillie on March 03, 2015, 08:48:55 PM
Sys has it right, he played less than 10 MPG when we last saw him and that was before he had a foot injury that will require over a year to get to the place where he is able to get the boot/cast removed. I think you guys are forgetting what kind of a player DJamer is; he's an extremely undersized big, no where close to 6'9", with very limited skills. He is an energy player, he is not the type of guy who can guard high major bigs for an extended amount of time, nor is he a guy that can produce points out of an offense because he isn't a back to the basket scorer nor does he have a rangy jump shot. He's good for some rebounding, put backs, and hustle plays. Again all of this was BEFORE he missed an entire season of basketball with a broken foot.
Who is going to get the minutes if DJamer doesn't? Our post play next year is going to be scary bad.

Well that's what everyone except sys (maybe?) thought you meant, and I don't think anyone agrees with that assessment.
Probably doesn't matter because he will be back and it won't be at 100%.
I don't know how anyone with even a modicum of common sense could disagree. What I said about him was true before his injury, I don't know what about sitting out of the sport for a year has you convinced he's going to be better. Frankly, I think it's more likely that he has played his last game for K-State than he will be here and average 6 and 6 next year; hope I'm wrong though.

But yeah, his defense is terrible and he doesn't want to be physical. 2 things that make it tough against Big 12 bigs.

I'll assume you have an advanced stat to back this up. but, when I watch him on TV, it sure seems like he is a very poor rebounder, mostly the product of the fact that he has zero vertical and his physicality, positioning, and footwork are all bad.

Hurt doesn't have bad footwork. He just out of position way too much. I don't think he shies away from contact. I think it is reasonable to think he has a chance to be a good player next year.

If he were a raw Fr., I'd agree with you. But, he's a Jr and he was not good this year. he showed nothing to suggest he's going to magically transform into a good, productive big man his Sr year.
very disappointing. even if DJamer comes back and contributes, our frontcourt is going to be embarrassingly bad next year.

If Wade is a legit 3 pt threat it will really help oscar's offense but it is hard to imagine Wade will be able to defend Big 12 3s or 4s

I agree, it's strange how Frank haters are always bringing up his recruiting. You'd think you guys would be happy enough that he's gone, but every time he comes up somebody has to make sure we all know how things were about to go in the shitter (the same thing most haters had been saying his whole time at K-State). You guys should probably stop bringing it up, and I'm almost positive that we wouldn't be talking about Robert Upshaw so much. The ball is really in your court.

Recently offered a JUCO PF and recently offered a HS Wing.

2 seed and play Wednesday at 6:30. Cats play at 6 :angry: so this probably won't work. I'd be interested in going Friday tho.Any other townies going to the 2A tourney next week to watch DWade? The boys play on Wed, Fri, Sat.
Maybe! What're the deets?
The brackets won't be set until after sub state this weekend, but games are at 3, 4:45, 6:30, and 8:15 on Wednesday. Since St John will be the #1 they'll likely play at either 3 or 6:30.
I'm not so sure they'll be the 1 seed.

Post by: TownieCat on March 16, 2015, 09:20:44 AM
The most impressive thing I saw him do was his ball handling. There were a few occasions when he grabbed a rebound or steal and took off leading a fast break. He also threw down about 4 or 5 dunks, and seemed to do it rather effortlessly.

Post by: TownieCat on March 16, 2015, 10:22:49 AM
Did Wade show any offensive range at all?
In the game I watched he showed a variety of offensive skills. He has a very smooth shooting motion on his jumpshot. On one play he caught the ball on the wing, gave a pump fake, and drove to the basket for a dunk.
His skill set is more of a SF than a PF. Kind of reminded me of Kyle Wiltjer for Gonzaga.
Note: He was at least 6" taller than everyone else on the floor. It's very difficult to make an accurate assessment based on one game vs. 2A Kansas team. He is obviously very talented though.

He was. Nice gesture by him for sure, but who knows what 3 star DIR in the 2016 class we missed out on Saturday because oscar didn't travel to seal the deal.
Post by: kstatefan11 on March 16, 2015, 11:44:51 AM
Obviously, he carried the team on Saturday against an athletic and determined Central Plains team. I was also concerned about his defensive performance on Friday, but apparently this past week he has been battling sickness. I did think he looked a bit more sluggish really in both games than last week. It wasn't post defense to be sure, but he efforts against the B.A. PG give some hope he can move laterally with 3s and definitely 4s at the next level.
Rebounding was a bit of a concern. With as good as hands as he shows in the rest of his game, I thought he should have snatched a few more boards, several he got a hand on and lost, etc.
After watching him play a few times last year, he is noticeably more assertive this year, definite team leader, etc. I watched games this week with people who watched him and SJ for the first time, and they were surprised how balanced SJ was as a whole, expected more emphasis on offense to be on Wade. I think that's accurate; even in the final on Saturday when he had over the half the points there were times when I thought they should have given him the ball and didn't, they definitely don't over-rely on him, otherwise I think his stats would be more dominant (also if he wasn't limited to 18 min/game in their blowouts.) I would love to see his /100 min stats.
TL, DNR version: I really hope he works out well for us. I'm pretty LBBRIQ, so I'll avoid any strong statements either way. I do think the comparisons to Ron Baker (and Q) are more apt than those to Josh Reid for style of play and role he could play (though it's been awhile since I've seen Josh play). He does need to bulk up and some more lateral quickness would not hurt. He will be a hard worker and good intrinsic values guy, for sure. Tucks will love him.

Best case scenario is we West Virginia this team. Bobby lost masses of ppl last year, but was able to replace them. Not gonna happen tho.
He kept his best player, who happened to be their point guard, who also happened to be a senior. Blowing up the team would be a disaster for oscar.

If DJamer "retires" because of injuries it wouldn't shock me at all if oscar honors his scholarship for a 4th year so that he can graduate. That may piss some people off, but it's the right thing to do.
It won't piss anyone off because it doesn't happen. He would qualify for a medical exemption. He gets his schooling paid for and oscar gets the scholarship back. I suppose if you're a dumbass who doesn't know basic things about college athletics then this would fit your narrative.

Because the talking points and anecdotes are so dumb that I want to blow my brains out. Nothing can be extrapolated from oscar or Frank landing a player that the other had offered. So, why would there be any reaction whatsoever? Like, oscar has landed players that much better coaches have offered, same thing with Frank. It literally means nothing. It was a stupid rough ridin' question that added nothing to the discussion, which is pretty typical for a Yard Dog post.

You know it will come up even if it does mean nothing for either side depending on who lands the recruit. IMO people who hate oscar will likely point at Frank winning that recruit as a sign that we made a bad coaching switch. Same for people who are pro oscar. If we land that recruit they will use that argument to prove we made a good coaching switch. As is often the case in arguments the point sounds like a good one even if in reality it is proof of nothing. It will be a talking point whether you like it or not.

I think K-State is still trying to figure out how their roster is going to look like next year. Apparently Bolden's injury was really really bad and there is a ton of concern about his hand. Also there is DJamer. It appear that were more actively engaging Bigs right now.
Hope Ray Kasongo is the main target right now. Assuming we are going to see 1-2 more commitments.

It is actually a pretty talented team, with a decent coach it should be a #5-6 Big 12 team and a decent tourney team. So in other words we will finish 8th and fight for an NIT bid.

1) Nigel / Stokes
2) Marcus / Barry
3) Westicles / Edwards
4) Malek / Wade
5) Hurt / DJamer(Health) / Bolden (Health) / Dante
12
Add one more + DJamer or Bolden replacement.
That is a terrible basketball team.
It is actually a pretty talented team, with a decent coach it should be a #5-6 Big 12 team and a decent tourney team.
:lol:
Post by: Mixed-Nutz on March 24, 2015, 04:46:26 PM
I disagree, the 05-06 cats with Massey, Cartier, Fred Peete, and Lance Harris was more talented. Hell, Tyler Hughes would be the best shot blocker and rebounder on next years team.My projection assumes Foster returns and plays more like he did as a freshman FWIW.
Nigel (JR) Stokes (FR)
Marcus (JR) Brown (FR)
Westicles (JR) Edwards (SR)
Malek (So) Wade (FR)
Hurt (SR) DJamer (JR) Bolden (JR) Dante (FR)

I maintain that a couple frosh need to contribute meaningfully immediately for us to stand much of a chance at not being terrible.
Even if Marcus played all next year like he did in our non-con this year, I am still not sure that the rest could fill in the gaps.

I'm pretty sure oscar will have an NIT team next year. Of course, this could partially be due to the schedule.
Our noncon will be fairly tough again next year. Road games at UGA and TAMU, Colo St in ICT, UNC/MIZZ/NW in KC, and a TBD SEC team. That's five P5 games plus a well coached Colo St team that just won 27 games this year.

Good point. I forgot about all those return games already on the slate. Will be interesting to see if oscar tries to move some of these.

Checked some of Ervin's stats. He had two triple-double's this year with a handful that were close. He had 11 double-doubles, and those were a mix of points and rebounds and points and assists.Kid can definitely play. Saw his highlights and was very impressed with him. VERY tough defender too.

That Edwards kid blew up. He's received like 8 offers in the last week or so, and they're solid offers, too.
Yes and no, still a spring recruit. Just less supply, so the demand looks greater. If Nigel is gone, oscar is trying to build a roster inside wet paper bag. The bottom is going to fall out.

Yeah. He's trying to get kids that can play the right way after striking out on recruiting kids that play the right way after learning that he couldn't win when he was forced to recruit kids that didn't play the right way. :sigh:

I don't think that is case. A lot of it has to do with recruiting misses, not landing your first, second or third option. I don't know what you chalk Foster up to. I really don't, it is just a mumped situation. But he is where I think we stand.
SR 2
Hurt
Edwards
JR 4
Westicles
DJamer or Bolden (I think only one is going to make it)
Corlbe Ervin (He is such a stop gap type of recruit, 50% chance worth a crap)
JUCO PF (Hopefully Ray Kasongo, 50% chance worth a crap)
So 1
Malek
Fr
Wade
Brown
Williams
Stokes
HS PF (Cobb, Edwards or some dork)
+ Transfer
You are looking at 3 poor senior class in a row. That is going to lead to less wins and more transfers. Also looking at a 8 man class and oscar sucks at getting kids to play year one.
Post by: PIPE on March 26, 2015, 02:01:12 PM
Bolden would not get any PT on any other big 12 roster :Yuck:
Hurt likes to launch bombs :facepalm:
DJamer may or may not return....but was only averaging a whopping like 4 points/game before his injury :dunno:
Another Center frosh that weighs like 160 lbs or something, and might be a project :sdeek:
Cobb, who may or may not be coming, and don't know if any other schools even offered him a scholly :buh-bye:
Now, with the rumors Nigel might be leaving.......man this roster is full of :bs:

The composition of the roster is going to be worse than individual talent. I think it is reasonable for Hurt to improve is body and be a + role player. Malek should fine himself and be an ok role player. I think all the freshmen can do nice things, they shoot the ball really well sans Dante. If Edwards wants to be he can be a good player he finished off the season well. His motor has issues. Westicles needs to fine some scoring in the halfcourt. The issues in two years that you are going to be counting on a lot of sophomores again with less help from upperclass men.
The roster is bottom heavy, I don't think oscar can get around that.

Unless he pulls in transfers, but with the roster turnover he needs guys that can play right away. With the new transfer rules, that's not going to happen.

Players don't leave mid career unless they are huge drug addicts that are super lazy and locker room cancers. Fact.

https://twitter.com/sportstalksc/status/5822967138153021446-4 Jamall Gregory of Washington, DC made an official visit to USC over the weekend with his mother and he’s now ready to make his college decision. Gregory said he plans to decide between the Gamecocks and Kansas State between now and Wednesday. He has not yet visited Kansas State.
Mr. Chester how special are you...
Gregory was not prepared to declare a public favorite Sunday after his visit to Columbia but he made it clear he fully enjoyed his time checking out the campus and the program.
“I liked the campus and the facilities,” Gregory said. “I just liked everything I saw. And there’s no NBA team there so we’ll have a big fan following when we start doing well. I hung out with Coach Martin a little bit. The teammates, they are good guys and seem genuine with what they were saying and they want to win. I could see myself going in and helping out in the future.”
As for his decision, Gregory said that he would “probably coach Coach Martin and let him know then put it on social media or something.”
Gregory also has offers from DePaul, Canisius, Florida Gulf Coast, Rutgers and Minnesota. He averaged 15 points, 6 rebounds and 3 assists per game this past season for his prep school in Delray Beach, FL.

I like that Ervin is 6-3 compared to Thomas at 6-0. Similar scoring/shooting numbers, but Ervin averaged 2 more assists per game.Ervin is also a thicker kid with really long arms. His shooting numbers have improved each year, so that is a good sign. Haven't seen any recent games or highlights.
Post by: Panjandrum on March 29, 2015, 09:08:34 PM
I watched a little. Don't know how I feel. I guess numbers tell the truth.
He seems very active on the glass for a PG. Body wise and movement wise, he reminds me of Sherron Collins. He's a big kid that could stand to lose a few pounds to be honest. If he weighs under 200, I'd be stunned.

i just watched most of the first half of the game with south plains. i kinda like his game. well below average athletically, but seems strong. long arms. comfortable in traffic. really good passer. more in a ball mover way than a throws dobs way, but real unselfish. stats suggest he can't shoot much, but he looked comfortable trying. seems like he could be an interesting post up guard if anyone wanted to try him at that.
i'd describe him as something like a spradling/akeem wright cross. maybe could be a good piece on a team that has some scorers that need the ball moved to them. not sure if he's going to be a guy that keeps anyone from being fired.

He seems very active on the glass for a PG. Body wise and movement wise, he reminds me of Sherron Collins. He's a big kid that could stand to lose a few pounds to be honest. If he weighs under 200, I'd be stunned.
i just watched most of the first half of the game with south plains. i kinda like his game. well below average athletically, but seems strong. long arms. comfortable in traffic. really good passer. more in a ball mover way than a throws dobs way, but real unselfish. stats suggest he can't shoot much, but he looked comfortable trying. seems like he could be an interesting post up guard if anyone wanted to try him at that.
i'd describe him as something like a spradling/akeem wright cross. maybe could be a good piece on a team that has some scorers that need the ball moved to them. not sure if he's going to be a guy that keeps anyone from being fired.
I was disappointed in his ability to finish we he got into the lane. Seems like he will be a very solid defender. Sees the floor really well.

How is Ervin at layups?
He shot 53.4% overall, 29.5% on 3s, and 58.6% on 2s. FT rate of 56.6% while making 67.2%. 8.3 assists, 3.6 TOs, assist:TO of 2.3.

In the limited action I saw, Ervin wasn't that careless with the ball. I think he tried to do some things with interior passing that his bigs just didn't have the hands for.
Not saying ours have better hands, but the positive is that Ervin was able to just take over games, even at the NJCAA tournament. He scored 23 in the second half against Tyler.

I'm not sure about that, he may be more like Fred Peete actually.
He's not a great 3PT shooter, but he's got a high FG% for a guard while being in the top 5 nationally in attempts. #1 in assists. Top 5 in FT attempts. (from the stats I could find) I'm not sure how deep the talent level is in JUCO basketball this year, but I'd say you can argue he's the top PG/combo in JUCO.
FWIW, for some reason Oklahoma JUCO players aren't ranked at all on 247sports, even though Connor State was in the top of the JUCO rankings all season.

yes, but more because of the existing team he's joining than anything about him. martin recruited a lot of jucos, some decorated, some not, but then they got here and sat on on the bench or filled spot roles. you have to go back to wooly for a time when kstate was recruiting jucos to come in and immediately fill major holes on the team (i guess blake young for huggins was expected to better fill a hole than he ended up filling it. and they just missed on that other juco guard they wanted too).

It’s worth noting that Creighton technically has no room for either player visiting this weekend; they have nine returning scholarship players and four incoming players (Khyri Thomas, Marlon Stewart, Martin Krampelj, and Justin Patton), meaning someone has to go if they get a commitment from either Trent or Mulder. Draw whatever conclusions from that you will.
That may work in our favor for both, if we're still interested in Mulder. It sounds like he wanted to play at WSU, but he may be wide open if Marshall goes to Texas and Creighton doesn't have room.
And I'm throwing up in my mouth by saying that I hope WSU loses their coach and Creighton is full so we can get a JUCO guy from Canada.

USCjr is also over signed by one as of now, I believe. Assume if we are serious with Jamall Gregory he will have an in home next.
I wonder how many in homes the staff has available. Also how many officials we have left. With such a big class we are at risk of maximizing out both.

He was from Angola and ended up at that weird prep school (Community Christian) in Georgia. His teammate was Ousmane Cisse (also from Ivory Coast) who committed for a while to K-State as well, but didn't make grades and went JUCO. Morais went back to Angola the summer after his JR year and never came back. He was supposedly going to end up a Top 100 player if he had stayed.

While competing for an African championship title in 2003, Morais was noticed by an American scout.
“I was a junior at the time. … One of the guys from Kansas State [University] saw me, and he invited me to play for Kansas State, but he said I had to spend some time in high school to learn English.”
On the advice of the scout, Morais left his home country to attend Community Christian School in Georgia. But his pursuit of his big-league dreams was quickly put on hold. He returned home to Angola one year later to be with his family.
“My mom got sick, and I had to go back to support her and the rest of the family,” said Morais, the oldest of seven children. “The money situation wasn’t very good, so I had to take a job to support the family.
the "scout" was salinas, correct? the dobo (or was he a coach?) that brought c. martin and was supposed to bring that other houston big? then his father stole some of martin's money and also of a bunch of coaches.
maybe it was a different "scout" and i'm just conflating the different attempts to somehow get some players.

I'm not sure who the connection was with Cisse and Morais, but I don't think it was Salinas then.
Salinas and his Houston connections were supposed to bring us Joseph Jones as well, but then Weiser put a stop to that. (supposedly)

Peaceful Manhattan feels a Serge
By Jason Whitlock, Kansas City Star
While Kansas awaits word from the NCAA academic clearinghouse about the last piece (Brandon Rush) to its 2005-06 basketball puzzle, the final piece to Kansas State's puzzle arrived on campus over the weekend.
Serge Afeli, a 22-year-old, 6-foot-9, 225-pound post player from Ivory Coast, a country in Western Africa, hit Manhattan on Friday night and signed a national letter of intent Saturday morning. Fluent in French and English, Afeli had been a pharmacology student in the civil-war torn country's largest city, Abidjan.
And I thought Elgas was doing the international recruiting, Baker just tipped him off.

He also scored 24 against USA in the 2008 olympics: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5Nf5JWkGnw
If all of Wooly's international commits had made it to campus, he may never have been fired. Think about that.
What a strange guy.

Mike Edwards most likely to visit K-State, Nebraska and SMU with his last three officials. His current top 4 is Georgia, K-State, Nebraska and SMU.
This one puzzles me. We have four posts, right now.
I mean, I'm all about best available, but is this almost a certainty that DJamer, Bolden or both are gone after this year?

I also think the staff is finalizing a juco PF visit also.
Malique Trent --- Had in home yesterday i.e Nigel replacement
Mike Edwards --- Gimp #1 replacement
JUCO PF --- Gimp #2 replacement
Eric Cobb --- Who offing knows
Jamall Gregory --- Without a visit I am assume that staff is dragging its feet for a back up plan. Maybe he is visiting and the coverage has just been that poor.

Wes, Malek, justin, juco pg, hurt is a pretty good 5. Hopefully some of the freshman are worth crap. The most glaring need is people who can make jump shots. Rebounding might actually be better.

He is a cali kid. Sometimes when a recruit loses his recruiter he washes his hands of both programs. Darien is interesting considering he didn't play this year. I don't think too many new schools with jump on his recruitment. I also think St. John is changing up it recurring strategy. Lavin want to recruit to New York, I think Mullin wants to recruit New York.
His recruitment is really silent.
Post by: Mixed-Nutz on April 06, 2015, 04:52:37 PM
From the article:QuoteIt’s worth noting that Creighton technically has no room for either player visiting this weekend; they have nine returning scholarship players and four incoming players (Khyri Thomas, Marlon Stewart, Martin Krampelj, and Justin Patton), meaning someone has to go if they get a commitment from either Trent or Mulder. Draw whatever conclusions from that you will.
That may work in our favor for both, if we're still interested in Mulder. It sounds like he wanted to play at WSU, but he may be wide open if Marshall goes to Texas and Creighton doesn't have room.
And I'm throwing up in my mouth by saying that I hope WSU loses their coach and Creighton is full so we can get a JUCO guy from Canada.

Ty can score a little. I think he is down the list a bit on the combo guards we are looking at. There seems to be extreme pressure on the staff to win now. I think that is a good thing.
I don't necessarily agree. I think they're under pressure, but not enough to get him fired next year.
A Kim Anderson kind of year may do it, but I don't think it will be that bad. Maybe if they're single digit wins, sure.
I think he's got two more years.

Post by: Mixed-Nutz on April 09, 2015, 12:08:34 PM
I watched a good deal of Minlend video last night. He's really not that bad. I'm probably not a good person to judge these sorts of subjective things, but while looking relatively athletic with a nice wingspan and a decent shot, he seemed like he was a tad slow when making a move towards the basket. Like a lot of the driving he did on the videos can work at the prep level, but in the Big 12, he's going to need some work.

Strengths:
Currie is an evolving scoring guard who is gifted as a scorer and facilitator. He has a solid frame with a nice combination of strength and length. His ball handling skills are phenomenal. He has a slick crossover, a hesitation dribble, stop-and-go, etc. He gets separation utilizing is quickness, burst, and skill. His pivot work while penetrating and looking for ways to score is flawless. If he doesn't get a good look at the basket, he will find an open teammate.
Weaknesses:
Currie has many ways to improve his overall game. First and foremost is his energy level. He often disappears during games and overall he doesn't play real hard, especially on the defensive end. Secondly, he needs to improve his jump shot to keep his productive dribble/drive game open. He gets good lift on his shot, but his follow through is inconsistent.
Bottom Line:
Currie has become one of the fastest rising prospects in the west with his ability to score, facilitate, and create scoring opportunities off the dribble.

Charlotte transfer Mike Thorne committed to Illinois on his official visit, according to Jon Rothstein of CBSSports.com.
The 6-foot-11 Thorne averaged 10.1 points and 7.3 rebounds in 26.1 minutes per game this past season for Charlotte (14-18 , 7-11 Conference USA). He will graduate in May and will be immediately eligible.
Thorne told SNY.tv that Kentucky had offered him and he had planned to visit both Kentucky and Kansas. Now neither is necessary.
Thorne previously told SNY.tv he was considering Arizona, South Carolina, Virginia Tech, Illinois, Pittsburgh and “possibly N.C. State.”

Kansas has missed out on another frontcourt recruiting target.
Charlotte center Mike Thorne Jr., a graduate transfer who will be eligible right away, reportedly is headed to Illinois, spurning interest from Kansas, Kentucky and Pitt, among others.
Thorne, who is listed at 6 feet 11, committed to Illinois this weekend. He averaged 10.1 points and 7.3 rebounds as a junior at Charlotte. He profiles as a big body who could provide immediate help (and experience) in the paint.
Kansas coach Bill Self made two trips to North Carolina this spring to meet with Thorne and his family. And Thorne reportedly was set to visit KU next week. Now that visit won’t happen.

We probably informed him after Maurice committed that we didn't have faith in his academics. I assume we still on Tony Anderson and want to get a swing player that can contribute day one.

The Mike Thorne Transfer Tour hits its second stop today in Champaign for an official visit to Illinois. Illinois is one of the four schools Thorne is considering for his final season of college basketball, along with Kentucky, Kansas and Pittsburgh.
The former Charlotte 49er big man checked out Pittsburgh last weekend. He will travel to Kansas for a couple days next week, then wrap things up in Lexington on his fourth and final official visit next weekend. A decision will come soon after that.
With Stephen Zimmerman’s commitment to UNLV last night, Thorne is the last hope to add another body to Kentucky’s frontcourt next season. The Cats could use some more muscle to join Skal Labissiere, Marcus Lee and Alex Poythress inside, so he’s kind of a big deal.

If that's true I am a bit more excited about him coming here. In his videos it was clear he wasn't battling the best high schoolers, so it's good to know other programs were on him.
I'd rather be competing with other high majors for recruits then constantly battling Charlotte and Old Dominion for guys.

good or bad, 50% should be gone by this time next year.
If oscar has good season you can assume we are going to lose 1.5 Freshmen. If oscar has a bad season and you assume a replacement, I think this is fair.
You have to assume Brad is the favorite and the only question would be if he wants to work for Currie. If Brad takes the job I am going to assume he is going to lineup a big class for 2017. Thus keeping the roster mainly intact. MoKan 2017 is stupidly loaded and I think Brad will be pitching a huge package deal. Basically do the same thing we did with Huggs / Delonte and DCA.

BTW, he not committing to us. We got Stokes instead.
LeGerald Vick is the guy everyone needs to keep an eye out on. He is either visiting K-State, KU or Kentucky this weekend.
Most people think Kobe Eubanks is visiting KU this weekend and he plays the same position as Vick, so I don't think they are double dipping. So I think it is down to us or Kentucky that hasn't officially offered him yet. It also appears we have started the procedures for hosting him. But you know Kentucky is strong.

End of the day he might not have an actionable offer from KU or UK.Let's see. I could go to KU, Kentucky, or go play for oscar WeberThe way you worded that is exactly the reason we have a chance. He would be able to play immediately at K-State, not sure about the other two.

Or he doesn't want to get buried on UK roster. <---- Something more recruits need to consider when joining programs. But that isn't how any of this tends to work.

Vicks lead recruiter at SMU where he committed as a 2016 kids was Ulric Maligi (who is currently unemployed and was the fall guy for their scandal). I believe Ulric is the godfather for Alvin's son. They are very close and run in the same circles. It is a relationship game.

have we figured out which staff member got somebody on team vick to throw them a bone by mentioning kstate so much? like, dude just do me a solid and make it seem like we have a shot. you know you still owe me from that weekend in vegas.I think Mixed Nutz mentioned it earlier, but Alvin is really good friends with the guy who recruited Vick to SMU, Ulric Maligi. He got into some NCAA trouble at SMU and has stepped away from the program. When that happened Vick decommitted from SMU.
Alvin must know where Maligi buried the bodies.

It just means we have struck out on any other targets, so giving one to Rohlender, and saving one for next year......??
We are being selective. We mushed Sammy Barnes-Thompkins, we had a official setup with him and decided to go different ways. I wonder at what time Alvin got tipped off about Vick. We might have been recruiting him for sometime now. If I were Ulric Maligi I would be pissed at Larry Brown and redirect Vick away from any of his boys (Cal and Self).
If we were smart we would find a operation spot for Ulric Maligi. But Currie is a coward.

Recruiting the parents is paramount! I truly believe that oscar has that edge over Self and Cal. As far as catching the attention of the young player....well, DJamer was holding up that end. I don't think you could find a cooler, more motivational guy to impress a recruit.
Now, I'm not calling it a lock. That would be silly. But, as I said earlier, I will not be at all surprised if we get the nod. I realize that some of you think it's totally impossible....OK

We're pretty much going to be Kentucky next year with all of our new Freshman studs.Dante at bests next year will be an energy guy, imo. He will just be really impressive walking off the bus. I watched couple of his high school games and he wasn't impressive. But he did have some really good flashes.
IMO he is a better version of JO coming out of high school. But then JO had another year of prep school.
The Flush is the guy that everybody slept on, he is going to be a go to guy this year. He has to be. Remember last fall we took him over Kerwin Roach (high four star, really fits Smart's system) and I don't think it was a mistake. End of the day we might not of landed Roach, but I don't think it is fair to say Roach is a better player.
