  • Kansas Sizing Up Big Targets for the Future

    Shabazz.

    JaKarr.

    Chris

    And Julius.

    These are just four big-time names that Kansas is going after to help build their program going forward.

    “I’m guessing Thomas Robinson’s gonna go [to the NBA],” Shay Wildeboor, who covers Kansas recruiting for JayhawkSlant.com, told Five Star Basketball. “They’re going to lose Tyshawn [Taylor]. They need guys that guys score from the wing. They need power forward guys. They need guards and forwards, or at least wings.”

      According to KU fans they’re fine for future. Reality check u have no players moving forward. FYI Gay U has no shot at shabazz.

    • After hanging its premature recruiting championship banner, the Wildcats have opened with a strong 5-2 start against a schedule of perennial bottom feeders in non-BCS conferences (except Miss St., but we all know how powerful the SEC has been recently). In addition to the amazing win/loss record, UA also ranks between 119th and 203rd in the NCAA in key statistics such as, ppg, rpg, apg and fg%.

      Additionally, UA is ranked 50th by Pomeroy, one slot ahead of Creighton. Sargin ranks the Cats 54th, roughly on par with Central Florida, Middle Tennesee, and North Dakota State.

      Meanwhile, star freshman, Josiah Turner is averaging 37.1% from the field and Angelo Chol is putting up 2.6 and 3.1 per game.

      Miller sure is a helluva coach.

    • Hahahahahaha u of a on another article about Kansas even though nothing is mentioned about Arizona. How’s all that talent working out u of a? Kansas loses 2 lottery picks, a second rounder, 2 starters with 1 in the d league and another over seas, and didn’t pull off a ua top recruiting class this year but which team is ranked and which isn’t? Who lost to a d 2 school?
