Kansas never seems to know. Funny this keeps happening. One player after the other. Looks like Self and Townsend have connected with the underground of college basketball.
Seems to be that way for every school. And I sure hope basketball staffs have connections everywhere or they wouldn't deserve their huge salaries.
Did he start for KU last year? Not trying to be a wise ass, honestly don't know.
No. Joined halfway through the season. We played 4 in and 1 out. He backed up Dok.
Kansas keeps having eligibility issues every year. Is that happening at Duke and some of the other top programs.
No---def not. Its annoying it keeps happening---but its bc we keep taking flyers on high risk guys. But--we follow exactly what the ncaa tells us to. It does get old having a stud sit on the bench but of they cant follow the rules before they get here---they deserve it and we have to accept their actions. Certainly seems like we sit guys when their eligibility is in concern.
Tack on 2nd and 3rd team AA and this list gets pretty long. I know UK has had at least 3 2nd teamers in that time frame; MKG, KAT, and Monk.
The NCAA is telling kansas to have Self arrange payments for recruits? Doesn't seem very fair to the rest of college basketball...
Again...if you haven't heard, we are super likable and Bill Self just cracks beers with everyone. Its a Kansas thing and its not fair. Im kinda expecting Self to file a grievance against the NCAA b/c we only have one title in the last 10 years.The NCAA is telling kansas to have Self arrange payments for recruits?

Is it weird for you that Wendell Carter mom was behind the Duke bench last week for CtC in full on Duke fan mode? Of course the media, which is known to be anti Duke, wouldn't spin her words like Wendell himself said.Coach K.
"Duke was the last program to enter the race with Ellis with the Blue Devils waiting until five star prospect Bryan Antoine made his college decision. Antoine, of course, picked Villanova, leaving head coach Mike Krzyzewski and company scrambling to find another shooting guard prospect. Ellis was the player they found and Duke immediately offered a scholarship, with Coach K explaining the delay in recruiting Ellis more fully.
"Hey, you know, I'm a loyal guy," the Duke head coach told Ellis and his AAU coach Marshawn Cherry. "I've been talking to these two kids (Antoine and Josiah James who committed to Tennessee) forever. Now we didn't get them. They told me they were coming. So I didn't offer any other guys because I'm loyal."
Wendell Carter's mom says hi.
We've got a guy that can take care of you....but a cricket phone is now required
