Wiggins to Kansas

So, who is the unlucky Jayhawk who gets to come off the bench rather than start because of Wiggins? You have to think it is really a bummer for somebody who sees lots of their minutes evaporate in one press release.
 
Self was talking specifically about an unsigned recruit on the radio? I guess that is only a problem for some coaches/schools.
 
Missed the idea of the post completely.

Just out of curiosity, why exactly would I be terrified of a collegiate basketball team? I'm not in college and I sure as hell don't play on a team, so why exactly would I have an emotional response such as 'fear' of a team? It just doesn't make sense. I would categorize my feelings towards KU basketball as 'dislike', that feels more reasonable and justifiably sane from my point of view.

So sane that this was "terrible news." From your sane point of view, this should be "bad news." It certainly wouldn't justify terrible.
 
Kansas is going to be a top 10 team with or without Wiggins. We stood a better chance to beat them without Wiggins. Wiggins going to Kansas is not a good thing and anyone who thinks it is needs their head examined.
Well, some of us might actually wait until the games are played, to reach conclusions about whether we'll beat Kansas or not--and how many times.

That's life. I'm sure it will be a good learning lesson for that player that nothing will be handed to you in this lifetime
 
Looking like 2015 before we beat KU again.

Boy will he be in for a rude awakening in Hilton. Headline after a the cyclone win, "Kansas Wigged out in Ames, Jayhawks Ice'd by Thomas 3 for win"

Nope. Thomas makes the three, is called for an offensive foul so the take away the three points and we lose by two. Conference issues apology and admits it was the wrong call.
 
Next year IS 2014. Wiggens will be playing for KU. If he's one and done we'll have a shot in 2015. I mean, hey, I hope we beat them but it's just not a very realisitc chance next year with all of the youth. I'm still bullish on the program..I couldn't be happier just calling it like I see it.

Depends on how you call the seasons. Semantics I guess. But for me this upcoming year is the 2013/14 season. Next year is the 14/15 season. So we could beat them in the 2014 season two seasons from now.

There were top 100 guys going to come off the bench regardless of the Wiggins signing. I think they knew they had competition going in, or they were incredibly stupid. That's the luxury of being KU. I hope someday soon (and it could be) we have top 100 guys coming off the bench.
 
I don't get people who are all upset about this. To me, the allure of playing and beating Kansas is playing and beating one of the best teams in the nation. Did it feel good to finally beat Texas in football? Yes. But in the back of your mind did you not realize we were celebrating beating one of Texas's worst teams in years?

I want Kansas to be as good as possible, because we always play them well and it will be a bigger deal if we win. I don't want to beat #20 ranked Kansas, I want a shot to beat top 5 Kansas.

Actually at the time of the game nobody saw that Texas team collapsing like they did. They were 4-2 and ranked 22nd.

They'll find time for him if he's as good as they say he is...wonder what their starting 5 will look like next year.

Here is my guess:

PG: Tharpe (JR)
SG: Selden (FR)
SF: Wiggins (FR)
PF: Ellis (SO)
C: Embid (FR)

Key Reserves:

Guards: Frankamp (FR), Greene (FR)
Post: Lucas (RSFR), Traylor (SO)

I'm not sure if Embid will actually start. He's a 5 star recruit, but he is a raw talent. So it could be that Traylor starts or maybe this Memphis transfer Black if we get him.

Without Wiggins, I'd guess that Frankamp would start at the 2 and Selden would play the 3 spot. But Frankamp will still get plenty of playing time. Maybe Greene is the one who will lose the most minutes.

According to this formula, this was KU's best recruiting class ever (or at least since they started ranking recruits 30 years ago) even before we landed Wiggins. With Wiggins, it is the 3rd best recruiting class ever by any team. Kentucky's 2013 class is rated #1, and UNC's 2006 class is rated #2.

I'm glad Iowa State is good again. Our games this past season were intense. Those bad calls at the end of the game in Ames overshadowed just what an incredible game that was. When I was a kid, my dad used to take me to all of KU's away games in the conference. Traveling to Hilton was always my favorite.

You deserve to be pumped. You got a good one. I'm filling in my bracket already with KU vs UK in the championship. But you know as well as I do that lowly owe ISU will give you a game or two along the way. And we are coming, when he goes pro, the next year might be freddys best team..................uhoh.
