Sprads = "Poor Man's Brady Morningstar"

[cork_sniffer]

heres the thing, i'm not high on spradling at all. but the fact that he is a freshman getting significant pt on a top 5 team is indicative of his level of play. the fact that pundits are already comparing him to denis clemente and that he has played relatively well against 2 top 25 teams goes to show something. just sayin...

I agree.

I still say he would be on the bench for KU though. 

who gives a flying eff? was he thinking about playing for ku or something?

look, if it makes you feel better to know that our 5th guard wouldn't be playing for you guys that much, congratueffinglations. have fun against some team from texas tonight while the eyes of college basketball are on k-state.

ok, the point being that spradling is much better than anticipated but he's getting PT because KSU doesn't have anyone else really. 

He's getting playing time because he's a badass who makes the competition cry. I guess Bill Self doesn't care about that. I wouldn't know, though. You're the KU fan; you tell me.

KU got selby...KSU got spradling.  I think KU got the better end of the deal but you are entitled to your opinion.

One is getting significant minutes for a top 5 program.  The other one has been eating cheetos on the couch for the last month.  Who got the better deal again?

Show me Selby's stats and tell me why he's contributing more than Spradling.

nice argument.  I'm 100% in support of spradling and i'm glad he is doing so well.  I'll just leave it at that.

We must admit.

Frank and other coaches are good at evaluating talent.

KSU has been looking for a Tyrel Reed-like player for a while. He's not on the same level athletically as Reed and Brady, but he's a good fit for what KSU needs in that system.

There's a reason the KU coaches never looked his way.

He will be a nice 4 year role player for state. I still think he will struggle in conference play.

anyone who would take spradling over royce is a moron.

To be fair, Spradling is competing for playing time against Martavious "Brick City" Irving and Juevol "Canadian Juco" Myles.  The kid's a solid player, but it's not like he's got much competition for playing time.  He's basically a younger version of Reed/Morningstar.

The fact of the matter is that he probably wouldn't be seeing the floor at KU this year.  KU has better players than Spradling in Releford and Johnson that are going to have trouble getting minutes once Selby is back.  One thing I will say is that I don't see Spradling being a real difference maker down the road.  If he is one of your best guards next year and you don't have a guy like Pullen next to him, then you guys will struggle.

All I know is that guards win games in March, and I would not want a player that is labeled as "physically limited" to be bringing the ball up the court.

Was I watching the wrong game? I could have sworn I saw two physically limited teams Duke it out last spring while all those super athletic guys sat at home trying to figure out how to feed themselves.

"Brick City" has been playing extremely well. You are an idiot. I hope someone rapes your face.

Looks like Christmas came early this year Q@zfanz. I've had, "a player of Brady Morningstar's (of the KU jayhawkers) skill and good judgement" on my list to Santa since March.

that is what makes college basketball so fun, it's not all about having the best athletes with the most potential.  That being said more often than not the best players tend to deliver in march and you could view last year as an exception.  09, 08, 07, 06, 05, 04, 03...all featured future NBA talent dominating.

That quote actually came from BMW.

But then they all are at State.  They play a really undisciplined game, but luck is on their side right.

And he's a point guard the same way Brady Morningstar is a point guard.
