Well, I'm pretty sure we have all witnessed him crap his pants a time or two on here...
Naadir Tharpe to Transfer From Kansas
- Thread starter 1Nation
- Start date
He wasn't. Frank Mason was starting at the 1, Frankamp at the 2, and they are finalist with NC State for the top remaining PG (they are most likely getting him). With the two other M-AA they have coming in and Perry Ellis. He would have been the first guy off the bench, but he wasn't starting.
Frank Mason was going to start over him just like last year? Frankamp over Selden? Let me follow that up with another LOL

sigh...Can't argue with stupid. Frank Mason was a Frosh last year and wasn't ready. I don't really think there was much question that Mason was going to be the starting PG. This only coming from every person that follows KU basketball at all.
So Mason (16mpg) was going to start over the senior returning starter Tharpe (29mpg) and Frankamp (8mpg) was going to start over returning starter Selden (29mpg)?
Tharpe wasn't forced to leave because of Graham. They had two open scholliies
Either Frankamp or Mason will be the starter but my bets on Frankamp as Self stated today he want to use Selden like ISU used Kane. Frnakamp really stepped up at the end of the year.
Graham will be a very good back up.

Wrong. Self was not going to start Mason over Tharpe. That flies in the face of every experience that I have ever had with Self. He values experience over anything and would only start a younger player if he was glaringly better. Every KU fan that I know and have had dealings with assumed that Tharpe would start from Day One and that Mason and Frankamp would be given the opportunity to prove on the court that they deserved the starting job.
Wow, ok I think there's a middle ground here. I think you'd have to admit it opens someone up to just a slight question of character when they're fathering children in high school.
As my father taught me: "Don't stick your nose or your d--k into anything unless your are fully prepared to deal with the consequences." Yes, I know a few people that had kids while they were still in high school. They all happen to be irresponsible knuckleheads. There are probably a few exceptions to the rule, but by and large it is a stereotype for a very good reason. Even if only 90% are knuckleheads, Tharpe has followed that action up with plenty of dumb actions to show that he is in the 90% column and not the 10% column.
I'm not sure how they do it in Kansas, but noses aren't generally involved in the getting pregnant process here in Iowa.
Frankamp and Mason played much better in the tourney than Tharpe. No doubt he was going to lose minutes to those 2.
