Well Kansas is a freaking lock for preseason #1...

Here's what's true...practically every major conference program (and several midmajors) were named in the FBI probe. So how do you determine the biggest cheaters?

Adidas helped funnel some players to KU, yes. Just as Nike funneled top players to their top schools. Why do you think they didn't funnel players to Iowa? Was it because Iowa's brand didn't warrant it, or because Iowa turned them away due to their superior morals? 🤣

After the FBI probe, KU's recruiting was on par with middling programs for years due to negative recruiting. Yet Self won a nat'l title with a bunch of local players who weren't coveted by any top programs, and also finished #1 in the Covid year. Harris's RSCI ranking was 334. Agbaji 190. Braun 129. They had one top 40 player on the title team.

So yeah, Bill had some help from his shoe company (like every other decent program), but he doesn't need it to win. Unlike Iowa.
Apparently he does.............unlike Iowa.

Because Iowa > Kansas
 
PG: Dajuan Harris jr
SG: Zeke Mayo
SF: AJ Storr
PF: KJ Adams
C: Hunter Dickinson

Bench:
Rylan Griffen SF
Riley Kugel SG
Rekease Passamore F
Flory Bidunga C

This is the deepest and best team Self has had in a while. Lot of experience as well
They will be number one until Self screws them up. Sure to happen!
 
If Self is sure to screw up, imagine what the Hoosiers are in for…
It amazing me IU hasn't got their shit together. They had Sampson. Phone calls.

Still..,

hell Uk might be the new IU. Heck anyone could be. Who's KU's first choice after Self? He has another decade in him so who knows.

KU is one of the few schools who'd hire outside of the family, they make ppl family.
 
SHUT YOUR GAPING WHORE MOUTH!
It comes naturally. I blame my paternal side.

Not sure he has 10 years left. He’s not the type to want to coach til he’s 70. Plus the health scare.

Hopefully they won’t try to keep it in the family. I don’t want Haase or Aaron Miles anywhere near Allen Fieldhouse.
 
@JVDBeak'em It's the offseason and just talking, would you like to marry inside the family?

How about Danny Manning?

Mark Turgeon?

Let me rephrase, who would you all be ok with from the KU family?
 
Aside from Kansas being a great program, I like the fact they do things the right way.
they were doing things the wrong way for years, and got away with it!!!! they were playing the NIL GAME way before it was legal. they should have got thier ass hung for years, but ended up getting away with it.

Welcome to the board, nice first post.
 
Look at the top 5 for Jeff Borzello's way-too early top 25. This was before Hunter Dickinson announced he was returning, FWIW.

1. Houston
2. Kansas
3. Iowa State
4. Gonzaga
5. Baylor

4 of the top 5 from the Big 12 lol. So as good as KU's preseason roster is, winning the Big 12 won't be a cakewalk. A team like Houston or Kansas could very well finish 4th in league play.
Hey man, I'm trying to find a way to get a message to you. I don't think we have DM here so is there a way a mod can give you my email address?

PMs are available but you have to have the gold membership. You could sign up send the PM and then cancel the membership and the PM will still be available.

If you know a 3rd party on here who has one, they can start a PM with you two.

You can also post the email and delete the post.

No worries. People can email me if they want. I have 4 different emails. I only use this yahoo mail for a few social media accounts. I have one personal email account, one for work, and one for bulk mail/signing up for stuff.
You may already know what I emailed you about. Just checking

It doesn't matter who is ranked where. Make the tournament and see what happens.
Thats the real beautiful thing about college basketball.
 
My theory is, we’ll never know.

I think this sentence kills that article’s credibility:

There isn’t anyone that believes any schools other than Kentucky and BYU have a shot at landing Robinson, but there does seem to be a consensus about what will happen if he chooses to return to the college ranks.

Whoever the sources are might just be assuming that he’ll follow Pope.

Ha, I didn’t even read the article. Just the Tweet. 🤪 Still think it’s very unlikely he withdrawals from the draft though.

Sounds like Lanier is scheduled to visit UK on Monday. If he were to somehow commit first, Robinson ain't coming to UK.

I don't follow these guys like some of you do, so I really don't know who the better "get" is between the two.
I’d say better pure shooter is Lanier. Better all-around player is def Robinson.

Are you hearing that or just assuming? I’ve heard he’s been a little underwhelming and is likely to be a 2nd rounder…although it’s a weak draft so he might roll the dice. Who knows. Of course, whichever way he’s leaning can change in seconds.
