Jake is making me feel VERY uncomfortable

[Dugout DickStone]

How many final fours does Bill have?  I imagine it has to be a whole bunch.

One Final Four.  One National Championship.

I can't imagine there are too many other active coaches who have been the Final Four!  WOW!  I guess Bill Self really has set himself apart from the other coaches.

So what is the calculus used here?  How many Final Fours =  A Nat'l Title?

[Arthur Carlson]

Markieff was more effective than Aldrich in a lot of games this year, especially on offense.  For as good as Aldrich was on defense, he was limited offensively.

So, does this mean Manning is an over-rated post player coach since he couldn't get a McDonald's All-American post to be nothing better than meh on offense, despite working with him for three years & apparently thousands of summer camps?

For a fanbase that still has permaboners because of an Elite Eight appearance, you'd think you guys would acknowledge that Self has taken three different programs to the Elite Eight.  He has taken KU to four Sweet Sixteens, three Elite Eights, a Final Four, and a National Championship.  That is nothing to look down upon, especially as a K-State fan whose team just went to its first Elite Eight since 1988.

No, it just means that Markieff is more versatile on offense.  Look no further than Markieff's 52.7% 3-point percentage. 


Aldrich improved a ton during his time at KU.

The NBA disagrees.

None of the guys in the projected lottery for this year's draft are playing in the Final Four.  KU only had one guy who was a lottery pick when they won it all in '08 (Rush).  Both the Morris twins are on NBA scouts' radar, and Marcus will definitely be drafted in a year or two.

Do you have Attention Deficit Disorder beacuse nothing at all in my posts say anything about the Final Four.

Yeah, no kidding.  Don't see why you felt the need to try to tear down Izzo by comparing him to Self.

So do the numbers.

http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/player/profile?playerId=36170

-3.5 ppg worse than last year
-Worse assist to turnover ratio from last year
-3% worse shooting from the field
-11% worse shooting from the FT line
-Never scored more than 20 points in a single game (did it 7 times the season before)

All while having a probable NBA lottery pick floating around the perimeter which he didn't have last year.

Danning Manning gets more credit for the typical freshman to sophomore bump in offensive production from post players than any coach I've ever seen.

Ben in 100% ku validation and affirmation mode . . . as per usual.

[Mikeyis4dcats]

uh oh Ben.....Selby to UK?

[Cire]

also in Jedi Mind Trick mode left and right.

[Pett]

love it when bmw counts his recruiting chickens before they're hatched.

Maybe so, but the word on the street is that Selby is a heavy KU lean.

Selby taking a visit to Kentucky. LOL.

PG Josh Selby (No. 4)

Schools in the mix: Arizona, Connecticut, Kansas, Kentucky and Tennessee

A one-time Tennessee commitment, Selby is considered by many to be a Kansas lean. He has visited the school twice and has recently cancelled scheduled visits to Connecticut and Kentucky. There is also talk of Tennessee possibly making inroads in an attempt to win Selby back. He is scheduled to announce his decision April 17 at the Jordan Brand All-Star Game.

Uhm.....Ben. http://theshiver.com/2010/03/selby-still-may-visit-kentucky/

[Broadway]

Beems, I think Michigan State fans would take going to Final Four twice as a 5 seed and going to the Elite Eight as a 7 seed over three epic tourney failures in seven years.

[mcmwcat]

Could this play into Jake's decision?

Meanwhile, while all you butt pirates are talking about Marqueef, etc...Jake is gonna "go".

Tears.

Louisiana or Los Angeles? Both geographically inferior places

Who did he say might go to the same school with?  If there's a pkg deal with 2 1ndun 'cruits, I like Coach Cal's chances.

Anyone who thinks LA is inferior is not worth arguing with!

[sonofdaxjones]

Is Jake's game suited for the NBA, he's got the range I think . . . I just don't know if he's got the build and it seems he has a hard time finishing in traffic.

But if he goes, I wish him the best, but DraftExpress has him 47th in the Jr. Class . . . can he improve his stock enough to make it worth it??
