Other than being sophomores and having a bad night, what do those two have in common?

Rodney's Conference season was a lot like Jake's 08-09 Conference season, so I think there's a chance he can start taking over as the guy next year. What's really scary is that our starting bigs next year can't score. I don't give a eff about Nick...when you've got no skills, you've got no skills. I expect to see Sprads and Irving (Or 95 or Team Canada) start over him anyway.


*edited to put the correct year I intended to reference.

Funny?  Seriously? Gruds 3 pt 3 reb & 2 airballs in 32 min.  He was  scared out of his mind.

No it wasn't, not even close in any way possible.  Please don't do this.  Don't ever compare 'Grudes and Pullen, not at all fair.

It will be interesting watching McG try desperately to get open looks next season.

And by interesting I mean awful.

Rod looked like Jake did against Wiscy back in 08. It happens man.

No one feels worse than him. And he will be our best player next year. And that's not a bad thing.

Gruds better learn to show the eff up for the biggest game of the season.

We can only hope the Pancakes turns up his control or that Angel is a PG god.

kstate'll be fine next year.  i'll save my pointless meltdowns for coaching searches.  maybe apportion a little to recruiting as well.

The improvement we saw out of Will over the course of a very turbulent season in which we asked more of him than most other Frosh that aren't 4 or 5 star kids was pretty evident.

I somewhat expect Will's Frosh-to-Soph bounce to be a decently big one.  Don't think he will ever be dynamic, but he can be a really good role player/shooter.

For the record, I rescind my statement about Rod and Jake having similar sophomore seasons. Pretty obvious that Jake was already the focal point of the offense back then.

my fear is the Rodney is what he is, a nice complementary dish but never a main course.  All indications are Jamar is the similar in this regard.  95 looks to be the only guy on the roster next year that can regularly make a play on his own, here is to hoping Angel or Omari or JC to be named later can too

Please define 'fine.' While I don't think we'll be garbage, I don't see us being an NCAA tourney team.  I think we'll be okay, but its gonna be some time until we can make a run of any significance.

if by "fine" you mean "in the NIT hunt," then yes, K-State will be fine.

I've wondered about Nino several times this season. I know I have no logical reason for thinking this... but I feel like he's never going to amount to anything...like I said, no logical reason for this feeling.

the big 12 will continue to be down as a whole.  KU is looking to replace the Morris twins with JC bigs, Anderson will leave MU (with the youngest Pressey and most likely their best recruit), ATM will be ATM and we will always own Texas.

There should be good opportunities to win road games at OU, TT, and maybe BU, anything over .500 in league may get us a play-in game
