Julius Randle: Role Model, Hero

[timhawk]

KU has the #3 ranked recruiting class for next year.

#12 #26 -Wayne seldon 6'5 220lb SG/SF(will be like bmac but way better off the dribble)
#28 #37-Joel Embiid 6'11" 230lb C(this dude is nasty...check out his clips) youtube search Judge, Wally
#43#25 -Brannen Greene 6'6" 215lb SG(can flat out shoot)
#47 #31-Conner Frankamp 6'0" 155lb PG(the next Kirk hinrich  , dominated on the USA team)
#134-frank mason 6'0" 175lb PG(next Sherron Collins only lighter  )

so see KU is in great position to be a contender next year along with our return players. we still have a shot at Andrew Wiggins who the experts say is the best prospect since Lebron(doubt he comes here but who knows)

I'm not sure if my corrected rankings do to your argument but, at the very least, you don't know how to use the interwebs very well.

So, seldon is going to be the #1 pick next year?

Frankamp is no Captain Kirk. KH was an absolute freak in HS and much taller than Frankamp. Conner is a bitch and is going to be somewhere between Tyrel Reed and Jeff Boschee.

Frank Mason is no Sherron. Maybe lighter than him (who isn't?  )...but definitely not close talent-wise. He'll probably be better than Tharpe, though...

check ESPN 100....idk where you are getting your rankings but they are wrong

Rivals.

mark my words...seldon and frankamp will be a thorn in KSTATE's side

Seldon? Likely. Franky? less likely.

just watch

Frankamp will be a very good 4 year player.

[Lawrence]

Self went out and got a great class of 3-4 year players. Minus Selden. I think he's a two year guy.

If he manages to land Wiggins to bridge the gap between this year and 2014-2015, it will no doubt be his best class at KU.

KU is not getting Wiggins. I would love if it would happen, but it is not happening.

That's a little assumptive, no? FSU tanked this year and though I believe they are a big player for him, that had to hurt a bit. Wiggins isn't the kind of kid who loves the recruiting process. He's also not the kind of kid who loves the spotlight. Where is the spotlight going to shine brightest next year? Kentucky. Brightest on him? Florida State.

I don't think we're the favorite. And those characterizations I made above are from recruiting "experts". But in recent weeks, it has become less clear who his favorite is. People have said to not count out Kansas or North Carolina.

I don't know if it's the Randle letdown that has you waving the white flag so early or what but it's totally dumb to do so. When we're one of four finalists, we have a shot.

I believe that UK and FSU are still the leaders for him. But I don't think UNC and KU are too far behind.

Is this the Selby effect?

It is just me looking at the recent track record with top recruits.  KU gets visits from them, but can't close the deal.  I honestly think he is going to go to UNC.  I don't have a good reason why, just my gut feeling.

[Dugout DickStone]

All big time recruits love the spotlight. 

[catzacker]

I thought the deal with Wiggins was that he was/had to go to a Nike school.

a lot of dumb here.  Kirk Hinrich wasn't close to as accomplished and polished as frankamp is at the same age.  Hinrich wasn't that highly recruited, collison was.  Hinrich jumped into the top 100 at #62 in the final rankings.  frankamp has been a top 40 guy all along and played on (led in scoring) the u17 USA team etc...  He dominated aau ball, hinrich didn't really develop into the player that we remember until his frosh and soph years at ku.  now, frankamp dropped in the rankings the last year and i'm sure there are theories on why but the fact remains: frankamp>hinrich and it's not even close when comparing high school/ aau/ international level accomplishments. 

mason is ranked well below tharpe for a reason, he might be a diamond in the rough but only time will tell.  KU already has two guys that can handle the ball coming in (selden and frankamp) so mason is a project and probable bench warmer. 

Selden is probably not a one and done.  he is though a very good player and has the body and game to step in and play right away.

I think Frankamp will really struggle in the transition. He's significantly shorter and not nearly as explosive as Captain Kirk. He's also a little bitch and is a horrible teammate. PE happens to hate him, too.

Frankamp got shut down in the state tourney

[westcoast_emawer]

Hutch High had a kid that I am family friends with that absolute shut him down in Sub State. Held him to like 13 points. Hutch plays extremely physical and aggressive defense. Kid that guarded him is tough as nails and would be a great indication of how he will be guarded at the D1 level. FYI he is 5' 6" with shoes on. CF had a good 4 inches on him and couldn't get clean shots off.

yet he's better than any recruit Kstate has coming in

[itbagkstate]

It's way better than AFH and everyone already knows that.

are you speaking of AFH West in Manhattan, AFH in Lawrence or AFH East in KC?  Seems we dominate in all 3 buildings

[GoodForAnother]

I've never understood why KU fans hate Duke so much. They're really, really butthurt about Duke.

All the blue bloods hate Duke, because Duke does what they do, but does a better and cleaner job of it.

TITLETOWN!!!!

Frankamp got shut down in the state tourney

And by team #STRUTnCUT

mason is ranked well below tharpe for a reason.

ku will be fine with tharpe.  he's a very good shooter and extremely quick.  he seems to have fairly poor pg instincts and a relatively low bball iq, but he's not as bad as the guy ku had last year was as a soph, and he turned out fine.  he'll learn.

[OregonSmock]

Butthurtville isnt handling this very well.

Butthurtville isnt handling this very well.

I know right? when they win they say titletown, when they lose they want their coach fired and say "it's our hobby sport" lol.
