Don't buy the location part...Kansas obviously has the tradition, but they also have the same geographic challenge we do. I'm not saying Ames vs. a metro is a plus, but it is not as big of factor as some of the other points you mentioned.

Lawrence has better weather and is 30 min from a 2m+ city. Des Moines is nice and all, but much smaller. Kids in Florida or NYC or wherever have at least heard of Kansas City.

Obviously KU has many more advantages besides that, so I'm not saying that kids choose KU because of their locale, but we are even at a slight disadvantage to Lawrence in location.

the other day I was racing my mazda miata against a corvette, porsche and ferrari. I was really having some racing woes.

It's not the size of the dog in the fight.

It doesn't matter where Monk goes, he's a one and done lottery pick. The NBA drafts for talent, not school. Those schools just happen to have more picks because they pull in more talent. Guys used to get drafted out of HS without playing for a blue blood because they had the talent, like Monk does.

Playing at Kentucky won't increase his chances of it any more than playing at Iowa State would.

Arrest this man. Dogfighting is illegal.

What a terrible analogy. ISU is at least a vette. Your blue bloods would be Buggati, Mclaren, Koenigsegg, Lamborghini, etc... Cmon, give ISU a little credit.

Whatever Clifford!

Now MT and CC are both Top 100 kids and in that mold but I don't see them being anytime more than reserve roll players. Just my opinion.

I approve of this homonym

So what is that anyway - kind of like a streaky shooter? He just gets on a roll?

I was thinking more along the lines of his earlier suspension

If you're saying we are a miata, then I assume you're talking about this miata ... http://www.roadandtrack.com/car-culture/features/a8196/flyin-miata-v8-nc-miata/

Otherwise, No.

Honestly, it seems like any coach could make this guy the number one pick. He looks really, really good.

True just think he would really thrive in our system with all the freedom

But we're this Mazda Miata:

I'd say we're a Tesla. Doing it a bit different, still figuring out how to compete, but full of promise and stealing the hearts of 'Murica.

Looks like Arkansas is breaking out all the stops to land this kid. They sent the whole team to watch him play last night.
