Pat Forde's preseason top 25

[Cire]

weird thread.

[EuroCat]

Anyone know when the banner will be put up?

From what I hear, some have to pay for that taste.  It is good that we just got it for free.

yeah, there was a comment on that in the twitter thread.  seemed like someone was upset about his gf, wife or whore was selling tastes of her ass?  dunno, it was a little confusing.  feel like i only got one side of the story.

The sale of ass tastes was not the problem.  It was her running her mouth (not the same mouth that tasted the ass) afterwards that caused the drama.

Ben- can you show us one more poll with KU ahead of us? Or are you content on hanging you banner based on this?

1. Michigan State. Even without PG Kalin Lucas, the Spartans were within a single 3-pointer of the title game. He'll be back, and freshman C Adreian Payne could provide shot-blocking.

2. Duke. Circle Wednesday, Dec. 1: Our No. 1 Spartans visit most everyone else's No. 1 Blue Devils.

3. Purdue. A healthy Robbie Hummel would have helped Purdue pursue the 2010 title. Can he stay in one piece this time?

4. Kansas. The Morris twins and Tyshawn Taylor are still around.

5. Ohio State. The Buckeyes might need to be creative (again) at point guard, but finding a solution could make them champs. If William Buford improves his decision-making, he has the skills.

6. Kansas State. If there's a point guard, this team is a title threat. Jacob Pullen probably will want the first shot, and may be the best choice, but he was very good playing with a score-first mentality.




Mike DeCourcey = best in the biz

lmao. point plankin' is his reasoning?

Also, smart move by DeCourcey to just go with "the Morris twins" rather than specifying who's who or what they're good at.  It can be very confusing.

Somebody more motivated and less drunk than I should average out the rankings that have been released for each team. I'd bet that KU's is in the 9-10 range and K-State's is in the 4.5-5.5 range.

Tyshawn Taylor is horrible.  He's just not good at all.

[Scary Smart]

Out of Taylor and the Morris Twins, Marcus Morris is the only one that is worth a sh*t.

Good work, Kermit.

Tyshawn Taylor is horrible.  He's just not good at all.

Tyshawn Taylor is better than any guard on K-State's roster, with the exception of Jake Pullen.

If he can stay our of trouble, you are probably right.

So he's not right at all?

Kansas had to land a marquee player in the spring to maintain relevance at the national level and it did just that.

the most  IMHO. You land one of the top players in the country and you are now "relevant".

[Barry McCockner]

The fact that this thread was started on this board, by this poster, is a more telling sign than any of those polls.  It's over, we win.

How the hell does Sportingnews have Michigan State at #1? Please throw out that poll... Michigan State still has Lucas, but lost a team leader in Raymar Morgan. Purdue has no Chris Kramer, and Duke has no Jon Scheyer. However, don't underestimate how much KSU will miss Denis Clemente though either...

KU will have 2-3 dumb losses early in non-conference because of inexperience, but will then battle Baylor, KSU and Missouri for the Big 12 Title.
