Show him the ernie barnett statue and he will be ours. Maybe regale him with tales of cotton fitzpatrick

Weber is going to be a god on the fitz site, if he takes the names off the jersey's, hikes up the inseams and does away with anything not purple or white he gets a statue next to Ern
So far boner fitz points:
1. No Profanity
2. Recruiting scrappy white kids
3. Gap tooth Mad Magazine look

I've seen some recent comments warming up to Weber....Are more and more KSU fans getting on board with Weber?

Orris is the next coming of Trent Meacham http://www.fightingillini.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/meacham_trent00.html

He is a little too short to be the next coming of Bill Cole http://www.fightingillini.com/sports/m-baskbl/mtt/cole_bill00.html

oscar Weber / KSU Match

I had a wait and see attitude re: Coach Weber. Glad I didn't "jump off the bridge" with the coaching change. The more I find out about Coach Weber he seems to be a KSU type of coach. I like the less "crazy" approach to dealing with the players and a Coach with a professional demeanor. Hope I'm as happy next season.

Go Cats!!

I'm choosing to believe he's the next Aaron Craft.

If he's surrounded by similar talent, maybe he can be drastically overrated one day as well.

Only difference is Craft was developed by Matta and Co. and Orris will be developed by Weber and Co. That's one big GD difference.

2012 is the weakest class coming out of the state of Illinois since the Middle Ages. I don't think Orris is even in the top 10 of that list.

You say that, but in the picture Orris appears to be blowing right by Carl Lewis. Good luck spinning that one, hater.

warrenz · « **Reply #16 on:** April 15, 2012, 12:29:57 PM »

Orris is almost certainly one of the top 50 prospects in the state of Illinois. Didn't make first team all-state by the News-Gazette (15 players), didn't make second team (another 15 players), but was on the 25 man Special Mention list.

sys · « **Reply #17 on:** April 15, 2012, 01:01:50 PM »

he looks slower than crap, strong though, finishes well in traffic, slow release, doesn't look like he's got a great shot anyways, handles are pretty loose, vision seems average.

it's hard to tell much of anything from guard highlights, since their games are so much about skill, but he doesn't look like a big 12 player.

It's great that weber won't let critics change him. He still is going to build around set shooters who can do little else. Isn't he out looking for a "face up" power forward?

When you are satisfied with your results (he made the ncaas half the time since his players got to Champaign) why change?

From today's Chicago Sun Times:

http://yourseason.suntimes.com/home/11903908-390/boys-basketball-crete-monees-michael-orris-visits-kansas-state.html

I assume oscar is hoping Orris will be for KSU what Chester Frazier was for Illinois.

Frazier is the PG oscar recruited to follow Deron Williams.

As a long time Illini fan, it hurts to admit that your question is valid. After nine years of oscar Weber, Illinois basketball is irrelevant.

Now please give oscar a chance to take KSU to the same place.

It will be a mashup of deja vu and schadenfreude...
