The adidas McDonald's All-American game

Ellis is pretty soft.  I figured Danny would toughen him up and have him playing like a stud by his sophomore or junior season.  Curious how his career will play out now...

Last time I checked, KU still had Bill Self.  We'll see who fills in as his big man coach.

I don't know Self's record with big men, I do know Danny's.  Not saying Ellis won't be good, just saying losing Danny will have an impact on his play.  Hell, the new guy might be better, I don't know.

Only you would fall for the Manning-bigman garbage.

It's not garbage, stunts.  Manning was a big draw for big men recruits, and his experience in the NBA and knowledge of the game definitely translated to his coaching ability.  KU's big men have improved every single year they've been in the program.  Look at their progression as opposed to a player like Jamar Samuels, who didn't really improve at all after his sophomore season.  Manning's impact might have been slightly over-hyped, but to pretend like he didn't have any sort of impact on the development of KU's big men is absurd.

I hate when Beems is right.
