I think fanning may have invested in the MIR PI Training Course. If so, congrats.

Perhaps Frank and staffs HS recruit scouting is getting better. So far Gip and Angel have been very solid and Diaz looks to have potential. Last year Spradling was solid with Southwell having potential. Nino is still a question mark. 2 years ago Rod is solid, Irving and JO are good. Russell and Wally are gone.

Its the transfer thing that is questionable, but early returns show that Jones may be the best JUCO in Frank's tenure.

To be fair, I think Nino is closer to a frowny face than a question mark at this stage.

Nino seems like a kid who'd be pretty solid in pick up games at the rec.

I imagine most Division 1 basketball players would be.

I imagine most Division 1 basketball players would be.

I imagine mose D1 players would be a bit more than just "solid."  More like, they would humiliate everybody on the floor with swishing shots and face-smooshing. 

Nino probably wouldn't stand out in an intramural game between a couple of frats.

it's been pretty damn good all along.  a few misses/transfers, but unrated all big 12 pullen and unrated starter samuels in the first year.  that doesn't happen to every coach.

year 2 was unbelievably awful, though. Well, except for CK. Never mind.

Dumbest thing I've heard in a long time.  Nino has basketball skills...he just has no bbiq and never knows where to be in Frank's system so he doesn't play.

Call me when Diaz can DOB like this.

just wanted to post this again on page 3.
could watch all day.
love how #4 just gets out of the way because he does not want to be a B. for J.O. to D.O.

Look, obviously I'm being somewhat tongue in cheek, Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!). 

Nonetheless, Nino isn't a scholarship athlete.  Or, at least he hasn't shown us anything on the basketball court to prove otherwise.  He's a 6'5 forward for god's sake.

It's like #4 did a quick math equation and was like "I'm 4 ft tall and this black angel of death who soars the peaks of the himalayas is 10 ft tall, I better get the eff out of dodge, vroooooooom".

Nino was a public relations move by Frank to show the tucks he is getting in-state kids (even those neither Nino or Sprads were recruited by KU).

Yes. 

May also be a building block for the Mo-Kan Spiece pipeline.

He's going to need to play/develop Nino for that building block to be tangible.

[kougar24]

Wasn't Nino a 4-star (lol)?

[MakeItRain]

This is when I point out that he is a redshirt freshman who didn't participate his true freshman year because of post concussion syndrome.  Slow down.

Nino will be a two year starter

this thread is dumb, we are overload at the three

This is where I fall. That said, the best thing Niño could do is watch a bunch of Sutton film and try to be him.

[kougar24]

Is Nino athletic? I haven't seen him do anything remotely Sutton-esque to date.

jfc, belvis and emo.


i hope you aren't the same people complaining that kstate isn't recruiting semi ojeleye hard enough.

huh?

huh?

the idea that williams isn't a scholarship level d1 player is absolutely Fake Sugar Dick (WARNING, NOT THE REAL SUGAR DICK!).

kstate has a a lot more guys than playing time at the 3 and some posters are complaining about possibly easing off the recruitment of a guy that is close to a williams clone.  i can't recall if you and emo are among those posters, but if you are, i'd like to lol @ you more than if you aren't.
