Getting this thread off topic and giving into the BMW jedi mind trick: Do you seriously think that or are you just talking? I think KU will be much better than most on here but they have big holes. When a Morris twin is supposed to be the leader of your program you aren't a top 5 team. If Selby makes it and can actually lead them it's a different story. But, I don't see this team letting that freshman lead them. I see them as probably a bit better than but very similar to the KSU Michael Beasley/Bill Walker team. Honestly, if Selby doesn't make it (he probably will) or he can't be a leader (he probably can't..at least out of the gates) the leader of your team will be Brady Morningstar. You better hope Self is smart enough to start him the entire season if so. My initial post was in reference to KU's team next season, which is why I added Hopkins and McLemore to the lineup. KU is way out in front with McLemore, and Hopkins could commit to KU after his visit this weekend. With a potential NBA lockout looming, KU would have another year out of Selby and Mc. Morris. As for this season, I definitely expect KU to be a top 10 team with Selby. Mc. Morris led KU in scoring during conference play last season. He and his brother Markieff just continue to improve each and every year. They create matchup problems because of their ability to shoot from the perimeter. Then you've got guys like Elijah Johnson (5-star #24 on Rivals) and Thomas Robinson (4-star #31 on Rivals) who didn't get much of a chance to show what they could do last year with as loaded as KU was, but they've got the potential to be stars. Add experienced players like Taylor, Reed, Little, and Morningstar to that mix, and I'd say KU is quite a bit deeper and more talented than the Walker/Beasley K-State team that you are comparing them to. Releford and Withey were both 4-star recruits with some big-time offers, and they're probably going to be buried on the bench. I just don't see ten teams that are hands down better than KU next year.

Definitely top five in the country.

Talent is only one part of the equation, as a KU fan you should know the importance that game experience plays. A huge part of K-State's run last season was due to the experience our team had. KU lacks game time experience. The talent is there but the #1 question you guys will face this year is how quickly the team comes together on the floor.

KU will have plenty of experience next season.
WHY DO THE JAYHAWKS LIKE MARIJUANA SO MUCH!?
Has Tyshawn Taylor has his ass kicked on campus lately?

Then why do you have Selby on it? I don't think Bill Self can even turn the number one player in the country into a multi year college player.

I pointed out that there's a potential NBA lockout looming, which would keep everyone on campus for another year.

Why do they get so much enjoyment out of seeing the dreams of young men come crashing down around them? It's disturbing.
is there any program hurt more by the new recruiting rules and ncaa crackdowns? its sad to see a good coach like self on the downside of his career. should probably hang it up.

Also, take a look at K-State's 2011 recruiting class. If Frank and co. keep it up, they're going to have a group of fighting 3-stars that only Doc Sadler could appreciate.

Those 6'7 power forwards are really hard to come by these days.
