Another top player to ride pine. I'm sure Tuco will come on and say how much of a world beater he is until then.
Kansas is going to be LIT next year!! Seldon and mason coming back, along with everyone else except old boy Ellis! Yikes
He certainly won't need to bulk up to be ready to bang under the rim in college. His shot charts will all be dunks as he really doesn't have any offensive game outside 5 feet yet. The good news is that he is still 16 so he'll have to stay a minimum of 2 seasons so we won't have to listen to OAD talk surrounding him.
The bad news is we WILL have to listen to ya'll ***** and moan about why he isn't playing more.
You have to turn 19 in the calendar year of the draft AND be 1 year removed from your graduating class (if a US player). Azubuike turns 17 in September so he will not be eligible for the Draft until after his sophomore season at KU.
If you don't like reading about KU fans griping about minutes then just don't go to phog.net. I never see any KU fans complain about it here. Their coach watches practice more than I do so I assume he has a better feel for who gives them the best chance to win. The decisions may be perplexing some times but I assume they aren't just made by a flip of a coin.
Man that kid has some strength. He is only 16 which is crazy they say he could keep growing. The vids of him remind me of shaq just straight powering up and dunking on people in the post. Doesn't appear to do much else but if you are that big and can get good position you don't need to do much else. KU is still in the running for the number 1 recruit as well
I put the odds of KU landing Josh Jackson at about 1%. I'd be shocked if he didn't end up at Michigan State.
Unranked 2 star add for Bruce.

(Not really a knock on the kid Webber seems to get solid players out of the unknowns)
6'3 Cartier Diarra of West Florence has committed to Kansas St
Sounds like a B-Web player...
@CoreyEvans10 Cartier Diarra announces for Kansas State. Major sleeper out of South Carolina. 6 4 guard who is best on the ball. Facilitates and finishes

Agree with some droopy, but why huge? You know KU has ALL their starting and bench guards back and two 5-star frontcourt players back, not to mention 5-star recruits yet to sign. Baylor...talented. WV...tons of experience back. Tech...almost all back. Texas...lots of good players back and coming in. OU has recruited well but will be down like us. Okie State and KState will be better. Lots of good youth on those teams that got experience. Not the high profile league like this year but still decent. Unfortunately, it will just be another title for KU. Barf. Guessing WV second and Baylor or Texas Tech 3rd.
The Big 12 this year is one of the best conferences of the last 15 years so yea it's gonna fall back pretty hard. Especially when you lose players like Niang, Buddy, Ellis, etc. Even Tech loses Gotcher and Williams. The league will still be a top 5 conference nationally but as long as it isn't at historically high levels like this year then it's better for ISU.
