@jojo_embiid if you go pro what do you want KU fans to remember you for?A 10 loss season and a 2nd round loss that you didn't get to play in

KUBasketball ?@KURecruiting ·Mar 27
@jojo_embiid You have a chance to go up in the rafters of Allen Fieldhouse, but you can't do that in going to the NBA this year

KUBasketball ?@KURecruiting ·Mar 27
@jojo_embiid Tim Duncan, Shaquille O'Neil, Wilt Chamberlain. All stayed in school and developed. All are Hall of Famers in the NBA.

KUBasketball ?@KURecruiting ·Mar 27
@jojo_embiid you have no legacy at KU if you go to the draft. NONE

KUBasketball ?@KURecruiting ·Mar 27
@jojo_embiid You're only guaranteed the 1st contract in the NBA. If you can't last they will get rid of you. Come back and develop man

KUBasketball ?@KURecruiting ·2 hrs
@jojo_embiid if these reports are true then shame on you. You have NO legacy at KU. You didn't even play in the tournament for us? Wth man?

Why would Embiid ever give a eff about a legacy?   :lol:  Go get that cash. 

The way KU fans treat their star players is very concerning.  Why can't they just be happy for the guy?

I just don't understand how the ku fans don't know the following:

He is going, bashing him on twitter won't make him suddenly realize he wants to stay
He should go, no matter what you say
Trashing him makes you look stupid so smile and wish him well

They want him to play for free so the team can survive past the first weekend of the tourney.  Thus establishing the "legacy" that will help feed him and his family for generations.

Well this is a case where the supposed silent majority is complicit by not telling the supposed minority to shut the eff up. I think your vocal minority assessment isn't accurate, it isn't like KU fans don't have an extensive history of doing this.

someone good at twitter should be retweeting these to ku's unsigned '15 recruits, otherwise, we're no better than them.  sad but true.  these kids need to know what's really going on in lawrence and what they're getting themselves into (the shittiest fanbase in america).

if i was really good at soccer, and moved to some obscure town in the UK to play for a year in preparation for the pros, would not care about legacy. Would not care about wins and losses either.
