Leadership Development

[Trim]

How will K-State moves on without them? Southwell was capable of playing at high levels and Spradling was K-State’s only player who fully understood Weber’s motion offense. But they will be easier to replace than Rodney McGruder, Jordan Henriquez and Martavious Irving were a year ago.

“They aren’t boisterous guys,” Weber said of his senior class before the NCAA Tournament. “We come every day hoping for some epiphany and they have the little fairy godmother who comes and does a little wand on them and the next day they come and they are great leaders. They are what they are.”

what in the sweet eff?

Also, no, Kellis, going 1 and done in the tournament should not ever, on any grounds, be considered a success.

[dal9]

that's a pretty cold quote, especially before the tourney wow...

still, probably accurate.

also not a great sign only one dude allegedly understood the offense...it looked pretty good, considering...

[Kat Kid]

Frank and oscar appear to both have been very frustrated with Shane Southwell and Will Spradling.

i won't believe that quote is real until I hear it out of @coachtrimweber's own mouth

I'll try, but I might riff a little more than just what's on the script.

I don't believe that for a second. That part of the article was not a quote from oscar, so that might have been Kellis trying to drive a point home. If the team didn't understand the offense, oscar certainly would have mentioned it by now.

I'm all for coaches being honest but that quote was wrong, that goes beyond holding players accountable. People who hated the last coach for his demeanor but are okay with this need to ask themselves some questions. That's a real dickish quote.

One man's wish for Spradling and his family to be burned alive is another man's wish for Spradling to be approached my a fairy godmother who'd do a little want on him.

I have no problem going to jail for beating the face off of #excusebruce

[The Big Train]

That's not what you are going to go to jail for

[yoman]

I usually side on let coaches say whatever, but this seems a bit overboard on the sarcastic assholishness. I'd rather have a coach in my face screaming over that. Maybe it's just because of my perception of the person who is stating that quote, I don't know

[Dr Rick Daris]

all great coaches just hang back and "hope" that their players have epiphanies on how to be leaders. good job oscar.

[bones129]

oscar being oscar. oscar is what oscar is, and there isn't anything we can do about it.

[The Big Train]

oscar being oscar. oscar is what oscar is, and there isn't anything we can do about it.

Let him go to Marquette tho, ONLY IF HE WANTS TO THO!

I guess bones129 doesn't believe in fairy godmothers with little wands.

I don't. Even if I did, I suspect they'd gravitate more toward coaches like Brad Stevens, Shaka Smart, Brad Underwood, etc.

Please, if you exist fairy godmothers, wave those wands and bring Brad Underwood back.

[Dugout DickStone]

Blaming Frank's players is such a pro move.  And Kellis crushing the jayhawk love of oscar coaching at KSU forever.  That is a great article, with it all.

[kso_FAN]

It was a dumb quote.

[catzacker]

photoshop, please

Spradling was K-State’s only player who fully understood Weber’s motion offense

what in the hell kellis

Frank and oscar appear to both have been very frustrated with Shane Southwell and Will Spradling.

A trusted source (A- or something) told me that Shane & Will were the most selfish players the program has had since he can't remember when. Said they limited this team more than any shortcoming the squad might've had.

Yeah. I mean, I'm pretty sure that Shultz kid knows the offense pretty well, too.

yeah Kellis has no rough ridin' clue what he is talking about. Getting jabs in since ku didn't make it past the first weekend (again)

Yeah this was the worst part.  I don't even care about the quote.
