seems like you put a lot of time into making something that nobody gives a cac aboutSeems like you put a bit of time into making something that proves you're a douche.
my other quibble with your analysis would be that a turnover is far worse than an assist is good.
how so? isn't an assist worth more than two points and a turnover worth less than two?
Turnovers come from not using your head and making poor decisions (which plagued the Cats all season long). I am more forgiving (but not much more) of Jake's turnovers b/c most of them cam from being aggresive. Everyone else on the team had more turnovers from dumb passes or telegraphing passes. Assists also take 2 people to complete whereas a turnover is normally a product of 1's effort (or lack thereof).
It absolutely blows my mind how much stupid emanates from some of you people. The drivel that continues to slowly drool out of your brains is mindbendingly idiotic.
Note: That is not to everyone on here.
ft% is the best argument for optimism re. his shot. i don't know if the fact that he throws every pass that he sees, half for assists, half for turnovers is a reason of optimism or pessimism.
It's easier to teach a risk taker to be more conservative that to teach a conservative to be more reckless. IMO.
This is absolutely perfect. The Naismiths do NOT look good in that article. And the Wills look like perfectly reasonable people, with actual evidence that their ancestor at the very LEAST had SOMETHING to do with the invention of the game.
What game? Thought we were talking about schools. Help?
jesus man. recruiting rankings are a pretty solid indicator of how good player is/will become.
I don't really give a eff who invented the game, but who sounds more reasonable here:QuoteBefore long he’s screaming, out of breath.
“I’m ready to kick some ass,” he said. “I will hurt somebody. Whoever says it can face me, and I’m 260 pounds.”
But to Ian Naismith, this is more than a theory. These are fighting words.
“This is the first family of basketball,” he said. “Don’t call my grandfather a liar.”Quote“I’m sure — more than sure — that my grandfather had a lot to do with the history of basketball,” he said. “He (Naismith) invented the idea. He just didn’t invent the whole game. There’s plenty of room for skepticism.”
Who knows what’s really true and what’s not?” Lawrence said. “A lot of the history that kids read in books, let’s face it, it’s just not true. It gets changed. It gets lost. It gets reinvented and claimed.
“We all wish we knew the exact thing. I just wish my grandfather got a little more credit than he did. Who deserves more credit? Who did what? Who will ever know?”
Naismith sounds like $2MM trust fund baby that prolly claims to have played AAU ball somewhere or something Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!) like that. Perfect butt hurt KU fan.
he's an asset on offense.
totally disagree. when teams are begging him to shoot an unguarded 15 foot jumper, and he still doesn't shoot it, tells you about all you need to know about him as a liability on offense.
also, the talking point about shane being some sort of great passer is entirely over rated. martavious had a better a/to ratio.
He's only a freshman. The Morris twins couldn't hit the broad side of a barn their freshman year, and now they're two of the best big men in the country. Give Southwell some time to get comfortable and work on his jumpshot.
Whenever Southwell gets a RSCI in the top 70 then the comparison would be worthwhile.
This x 1 with a lot of 0s behind it.In this case, America can suck it.
Why exactly do you guys root against us so strongly? Sure, I don't like some of your fans. But I was still pulling for you guys against Wisconsin last Saturday.
Just curious.
This is the most honest I will ever be. I effing hate KU. Every single fan, every single player. I have KU alum in my family: I hate them.
I didn't care about KU at all until I came to K-State. After my first football game against KU, the seeds of hate were planted by KU fans. Then came basketball, the tree began to grow. Less than a year into my college education, murder came to mind every time I saw the colors blue and red together.
But I did root for KU to beat Nebraska in football once...
I can respect all of that. I don't have a problem with the fact that you hate us. I was just curious WHY. Thank you.
My personal hate (and I mean when I started to consider homicide strongly) probably goes back to our loss to KU in manhattan in...2007 I think, football. After being assured that "there is no rivalry" from every snooty ass KU fan in the state, the fans decided to mock and deride us in our own town for the entire day. I had GIRLS screaming RCJH in my effing face in the parking lot as I was leaving the staduim after. I was yelled at and mocked by groups of KU (what I assume were frat dudes, but you really can't tell with KU fans...they take douche to a whole new level) fans my entire walk home. Seriously like 2 miles and I was yelled at by at least 7 different groups of people....and I was just walking! THEN, when we beat KU they're even worse!
All the while claiming they don't care about us. Sure.
As far as predictions go, I'm going with 22-10 (11-7) as my realistic regular season prediction, with 25-7 (13-5) as the upside, and 19-13 (9-9) as the downside. I think Rodney ups production to 12 and 8, with Jamar at around the same levels, and Jordan averaging maybe 8 and 6. I also think Will steps up his game next year, and puts up maybe around 10 points and 3 or 4 assists per game. I see Shane as a point forward-type, helping set the offense, and averaging maybe 7 or 8 points, 4 boards, and maybe 4 assists or so.
FWIW--I see you guys winning 9 or 10 in the Big XII. I see you guys snagging wins against the lower echelon but in all honesty I don't see the Cats being able to beat or compete with Kansas or Texas or maybe even Mizzery. The loss of Clemente hurt a whole lot more than a lot of Kansas St. fans thought (not that I'm accusing you guys of this). I also think that the loss of Pullen is being underestimated just slightly. I know everyone realizes he was a HUGE part of your success. But he WAS the team. I just can't see Samuels and McGruder carrying the team. I hope I'm wrong.
This team will miss Jake a LOT, particularly early. But, with more balance, I think we'll be just as tough next year, but in a different way. We'll have 4 or 5 guys averaging right around double figures, I think, and some good firepower off the bench. That will make it difficult for teams to just try to take away one guy. If I were weighting the 3 scenarios I presented, I'd probably put the "realistic" one at about 60%, the downside one at 25%, and the upside one 1t 15%. I'm optimistic (but not overly so) that our young guys will step up and take the mantle from Jake. While we won't see the likes of him here for awhile, as a TEAM I think the guys can take up the numbers slack.
Your 'reality' assessment is very possible and very valid. If I were assigning percentages to those same three scenarios. I'd say realistic-40%, downside-45% upside-15%. We aren't THAT far apart. Next year will be an adventure. That is for sure.

1.1 a/to ratio is awful. Please don't use that as a talking point to hype up your boy. I don't give a crap if it's 2nd or 3rd best on the team. Not like it's head and shoulders above Tay's .7 ratio.
As far as Tay pissing down his leg...he is one of 2 players to actually show up against Duke this year.
I guess I hate America then.Yep.
I was talking to a KU fan the other day who said he can't stand the Morris twins because they are a couple of thugs and KU should be better than that.
