I know there are enough of us to participate in this thread, even when our seasons inevitably go to shit.
KSU vs Western Illinois today, tip-off at 3:00 pm.
One thing I noticed near the end of the game on Friday night - we had 5 true freshman on the court, and still played sound basketball. None of them were scrub walk-ons either. While I don't think we will make a serious run at anything this year, the foundation is being laid for a solid program in the future. [Reply]
IMO, as of right now, KU is top 5, KSU is top 10, Baylor is top 15, and Texas is barely holding onto the top 20.
Troof.
KSU deserves Top 10. This is the best KSU team I've seen in a loooong time. I knew they were going to be a tough fucking match-up after watching just a couple of their games earlier this year. [Reply]

Anyone who has watched KSU this year and doesn't think they are a top 10 team is crazy.

I think the Baylor rank is a bit generous. Maybe Top 20. [Reply]
Do we have any Blue Chips on the horizon? I like the blue collars we are getting from JuCos and top 150-ish fellers, but hopefully this success will start to churn up some elite players. Like, top 10 ballers. [Reply]

Sorry, but I'm storming the court if it happens.... not because I want to, or because I really care who wins, but because the algorithm says it's mandatory in this situation.

I don't have any info on recruiting, but I get the feeling that Frank wants to build the program around guys who are 3-4 star players and fringe 5 stars who will be here for 3+ years, as opposed to 1-and-dones. [Reply]

As should every coach. However, if a John Wall comes a-knockin', it would be silly to think we would turn him down.
That sounds like an excuse for not being in contention for blue chippers. Like saying, "Yeah, Charlize Theron is hot, but I'm actually looking for a girl who's just decent looking in hopes that the relationship will last longer."
I want the "John Wall" types in purple. And I want Charlize. God I want her. [Reply]
