KU is the first team in the big 12 to win 3 in a row at Hilton. Glad that game is over, horrible sandwich game between Mizzouand Okie state. Heads, the clones are a chop shop of a team.

QUOTE(ZoomSlowik @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 01:17 PM) Wright and Arthur definitely have the highest stock, both would probably be lottery picks even this year. I got the impression during his recruiting that Arthur is one-and-done, though my memory might be fuzzy on that. I thought I read that Wright already said he will be back next year. That'd probably be smart, as he can easily go top-5 if he works hard on his jumper. Rush has always wanted to go pro but his stock seems to keep sliding, kind of reminds me of Daniel Gibson's situation last year. If he's smart he'd probably stay, but who knows. Chalmers would probably be back as of right now, but if he kicks ass he might leave because this is a pretty weak PG class. It's kind of hard to say, you just don't know with a lot of these guys. So far I would say that Durant and Brandan Wright are near locks to declare (and probably Arthur as I mentioned), and it looks like Oden will stay as of right now. I get the feeling that the Florida guys are gone, but then again they all stayed last year. The rest is basically up in the air. Very good summary!!! I think Wright is staying, as you noted above. Arthur is asking for less playing time, and more practice time, and hes been really off since Boston College pummeled him. Actually our best player recently, has been the Sophisticated Electrical Engineering MAd Mad Sasha Kaun.

QUOTE(CanOfCorn @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 11:22 AM) Until Illinois is no longer the "Best Program not to have won a championship" KU will alwyas be the better program. It has better roots...and always will have, no matter the coach. KU and Illnois are not on the same level historically. KU createdt the sport, and ranks in the top 3 in total program wins. However, KU in the last 20 years has gone from glory to a choke session. We just need that one to turn it around.

I knew Gooden very well, he like the smell of grass haha

QUOTE(redandwhite @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 09:16 AM) I just got back from my 9:05 AM class. In the class is Armon Bassett, Xavier Keeling, Mike White and Earl Calloway. Bassett is also in my Tuesday/Thursday class. I don't really get star struck but I think it'll be pretty neat having them in my class for the basketball season. Yeah I had 3 NBA players in various classes. Gooden, Hinrich and Collison. They are normal people, and they may even respond to you, if you dont puke on your shoes.

QUOTE(WhiteSoxfan1986 @ Jan 12, 2007 -> 01:32 AM) As long as Self's at KU and Bruce is at Illinois KU will continue to be the better program. No first round flameout for KU this year either. LordI hope not, this is getting disheartening.....

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 03:45 PM) Top 100 players lack talent? Top 100 in one of the publications....but hey hes probably better than Greg Paulus, we can all agree on that.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:26 PM) That's just weird as hell I edit in something about Sherron and you make a post about him... How many guys can you see jumping pro after this year? I see maybe one or two. I believe Chalmers and Wright will stay till JR year. Chalmers because his dad is on staff, and JuJu will graduate early. Rush is unknown,depends on his play in march, and Arthur is a stud, but this is a deep class.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:21 PM) Kansas is gonna f*** me come March, because they quite obviously have a damn solid team yet it will be hard to predict them advancing too far. Kansas is playing out of their minds and getting better and better. I love Sherron Collins, but i cant wait till they play B School in the first round.

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:18 PM) Who doesn't strive for the 2nd round? Duh Bill Self haha

QUOTE(WHarris1 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:16 PM) Now is not the time for a KU fan to talk s***. why coming off two awesome wins, im ready to get into the second round. Now is the time for Illinois to realize the power of a good recruiter.

Come get us, but only if your first name starts with a B!! GO Jayhawks, brig on the clones.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 08:05 PM) I'm curious who the others are because I'm not seeing any others. Maybe it's because I really haven't even been that active in the CBB thread, because of this exact reason: it's just a s***hole. You mention Aboz, but who else has said anything about that? All the generalizations on here are f***ing pointless. Grow up everyone. When will Illinois fans realize the world is not out to get them??

QUOTE(maggsmaggs @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 02:44 PM) Love 24, so happy that 24 and Prison Break will be on back to back on Mondays. What a great night of TV. well said, love that night of TV

how about signing soriano and outbidding the next team by 9 million.

QUOTE(Buehrle>Wood @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 02:37 PM) What's funny about this is that Kansas was also recruiting him. When was kansas recruiting him? Or was it a phone call deal where he listed them to hype himself up. We are too busy bringing in actual talent.

QUOTE(greasywheels121 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 01:56 PM) Interesting. Who's televising this, since ESPN isn't. Foxsports is my guess.

MY FAV show is back, i cant wait.

QUOTE(Heads22 @ Jan 11, 2007 -> 12:33 PM) I've been saying that before, so yes I think it would. Nebraska had a chance to last night, but we shut down their big goofball. People need to watch Saturday afternoon to watch a game that showed why the Big Eight was awesome. agreed, i fear a KU letdown after pummeling a ranked team.

Arizona cool matchup. Heads would i be wrong to say that if, and thats a HUGE if KU wins on Sat, it would be the first big 12 team to win 3 in a row at Magic Hilton.

Mike Murphy is hated by everyone, the listeners and the score employees, let him run his cut down ding dong crap show. I love when he has to talk about the sox success. BTW, payroll is just a dumb factor. The cubs are raising payroll to not compete, but to be more effective when selling.

Id like Durant please.

I hope you guys can score, our defense is as good as they get.

WOW KANSAS WOW

QUOTE(T R U @ Jan 10, 2007 -> 11:10 AM) Oh man, Rhett Bomar is in my Raquetball class.. I think I am gonna give him crap about his OU shenanigans real mature or make friends with him and meet all the girls he knows.
