OFFICIAL "WELCOME ROBERT UPSHAW TO KSU CATS" THREAD

[OregonSmock]

A sincere and hearty welcome, with none of the hopelessness these poor bastids are coping with on news of their latest prospect: http://www2.kusports.com/news/2011/nov/13/landen-lucas-picks-kansas/

Lucas — who averaged 6.0 points, 6.0 rebounds and 2.0 blocks his junior year at Findlay — said Sunday turned out to be one of the happiest days of his young life.

 

We're actually really excited about Lucas.  Findlay Prep is one of the best high school programs in the country, and they've got three forwards in the top 40 (Anthony Bennett at #7 overall, Brandon Ashley at #13 overall, and Winston Shepard at #40 overall) of Rivals top 150 for '12, which is why Lucas didn't put up big numbers last year.  The truth is that Lucas had offers to pretty much every program on the West coast, and he should put up big numbers this year now that he's back at Westview High School in Portland, OR.  Just look at his offer list compared to Upshaw:


Lucas:  Kansas, Arizona, Cal, Georgetown, NC State, Tennessee, Oregon, Stanford, Washington, USC, etc.

Upshaw:  K-State, Louisville, Fresno State, and Georgetown


Pretty weak offer list for a top 50 prospect, which usually means that he's a risk to qualify academically.  Nice pick up for K-State, no doubt, but I wouldn't be bagging on Lucas, or anyone in KU's recruiting class for that matter.

I'm sure you know Upshaw had a lot more offers than 4.  Those were just the final 4 after he narrowed it down.

Much more interested in what she says of the blind unchallengeable faith many of our 'tucks have in non religious bodies.

I was defending Lucas after a couple of you guys tried to take shots at him.  Inferiority complex, indeed.

Of course you're excited. KU fans would be excited about Fred Phelps nephew if he signed to play basketball at KU.

Not true.  Very few fans were excited about signing Merv Lindsay in last year's recruiting class.  As KU fans, we recognize talent, and with Manning coaching the big guys, it doesn't take much to develop in this program.

We're gonna get teabagged again!

Love this take by KU fans. "Since they're KU fans and their team has had success, they recognize talent coming out of high school!?" Really? Or do you look at rivals and check out the top 150 players like everyone else? I will bet 99.9% of your fanbase has never seen a high school game from any of your recruits!
