Jimbo's Drinker

Now the fun part begins for my Jayhawks. Decision time for Collins and Alrich, and the hopeful addition of Stephenson, on top of 3 stud players.

Big 12 s***s on University of Memphis

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 27, 2009 -> 12:24 AM) Depends on how good those freshman are (Syracuse in 2003 comes to mind). And in Wall (if he signs), Cousins, and Henry, you've got arguably the three best recruits in the country on one team. I like Evans, but I think Wall will easily be better. And he's probably right on par with Rose at the same stage. Talented group of freshman are a group of freshman. They need elder leadership to get them to play like a team. Calipari doesn't think his s*** smells, and brings in a multitude of 1 and done's. However, Rose really benefited from guys like Dorsey, Anderson, Dozier.......etc No way a team of AAU 18 year old studs wins anything.

QUOTE (ChiSox_Sonix @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 07:48 AM) In SDSU's defense, it is a big deal for them. Without looking it up, when was the last time they had a successful team? This was their last home game of the year, they won the right to play in NYC at MSG on national television against BCS schools, they are in the NIT Final Four (something that means something for mid-majors)...i'm willing to give them a pass on the rushing the court. They were all just excited. I'm sure i would be too if I was a student there. No way to defend them, its laughable in every scenario.

QUOTE (shaneomacfan @ Mar 26, 2009 -> 01:02 AM) Yep. Kelly to Indiana State, I believe, to be closer to family. Davis to a D2 school in Minnesota (heard grades were a major issue). Palmer won't return, thank goodness. Peterson is looking at transferring as well, so he's the only one that's still up in the air at this point. They also lost the commitment of a 2010 in-state recruit that few people were excited about to begin with, so probably not the best day that the program has had in recent years. I think that Lick is a pretty good Xs and Os coach, but recruiting is already a question and now it sounds like there have been communication issues as well. What really sucks is that there are essentially no good recruits left in this class, so there's an even better chance that next year will be horrendously bad. Wanna have a cripple fight, Heads? Illinois State fans will not want a beefed up Indy State.

QUOTE (Felix @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 10:12 PM) Ha, I just posted that in the NIT thread I can't believe it. Mid Majors

QUOTE (kev211 @ Mar 25, 2009 -> 10:37 PM) If ben dies, then no one brings juliet to the island, and all of this stuff never happens If Ben dies, the dharma is still running around.

I have a team drafted, but we have the supplemental draft next week, which allows me to add 6 extra players. Can you help me determind who are the best players to draft (there are quite a few players) Pitchers Kawakami, Arroyo, Owings, Annibel Sanchez, Parra, Blanton, Ohlendorf, Chris Young, Jon Sanchez, Lohse, Lannan, Guthrie, Uehara, Masterson, Reyes, Meche, Edwin Jackson, Slowey, Litsch Postion Players Pudge, John Baker, Nick Hundley Helton, Gaby Sanchey, Ishikaawa, Mike Jacobs, Barmes, Hudson, Schumaker, Getz, Andrus, Bill Hall, Glaus, Fokudome, SEth Smith, Spilbourgs, Cody Ross, Camerson, Daniel Murphy(Mets), Jose Guillen, Winn, Baldelli, Shin Sin Choo, Travis Nider, Ryan Sweeney. As always your help is appreciated.

QUOTE (RockRaines @ Mar 24, 2009 -> 12:07 PM) Sooo. Evan Turner said he is coming back to OSU next year. I'll believe it when i see it, but it would be nice to have the top conference player back in the fold. With Turner and Buford, we should contend. Im 100 percent sure Mullens is jumping to the NBA for a career of reserve minutes. Is that PJ Hill gone, he seems like he is not very good.

Are we sure this show is even coming back?

Where are the updates, Heads?

QUOTE (maggsmaggs @ Mar 22, 2009 -> 06:39 PM) Last Conference USA coach to beat Memphis is...Mike Anderson with UAB. Just saying. Its going to be fun watching Tyreke Evans try to deal with the mosquito defense.

oooh and Cole Aldrich is good.

I am now completely satisfied with KU this year, the rest is now bonus baby. A big 12 Championship, run to the sweet 16 and a whopper of a recruting class coming next year. Great work, Coach Self!

LOL at Ben Howland complaining about his location for his games. UCLA has not left the state of California for 4 years it seems(outside of final four). How bout dem apples, whiner

Where is Marcus Jordan going to college?

Super Zoubek is gonna stop Dexter Pittman....ohhhh maybe not undefined

What games are everyone looking foward to viewing today?

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 11:35 PM) And how about the "mighty" ACC? FSU loses to arguably the worst of the 7 Big-10 teams to make it to the dance. USC smokes BC. Clemson loses to a team who has one legitimate big (and he's all of 6'7) and, of course, WF takes it in the crack from CS. Maryland has no business being in the tourney in the first place (and they will get smoked by Memphis). Duke won't last past the Sweet 16. So that leaves NC. Remember when there was an actual debate on which was the better conference between the ACC and Big East? Hahaha. Yes, another reason why you never listen to thet numbnuts on ESPN.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 07:14 PM) You can bash the Big 12 all you want, but they went 3/3 in losable games. They deserve some credit for that. Mizzou and KU fans come together...never again haha.

QUOTE (MHizzle85 @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 08:40 PM) Anyone still think Arizona shouldn't be in the tourney? Utah at a 5 is a joke like no other.

QUOTE (danman31 @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 11:49 AM) I didn't pick ND State because I assumed they wouldn't be able to guard/control Aldrich, but he hasn't been the factor I would have expected yet. Edit: Collins was better than he is capable of, but Aldrich was the difference. Collins vs. Woodside was mostly pretty close. ND State didn't have another dynamic weapon. Collins did too much, utilize Marcus Morris, Tyshawn and Morningstar.

By the way, Screaming Gus was not really screaming that much today.

Weber has done crap without Self's golden gift of recruits.

QUOTE (Jordan4life @ Mar 20, 2009 -> 05:29 PM) You're not as fun as you used to be. lol. I liked it better when you talked crazy s*** every day. Now it's like you're surprised when Kansas wins. Does the old Jimbo return next year with Robinson/Johnson comin' in? My opinion all year is KU is playing with the house's money. 6 players gone from last year, 1 returning regular, and a bunch of knuckle head freshmen. In ternms of next year, if Sherron or Cole stay(unlikely) there is good possility. KU also adds Jeff Withey, and in the running for Lance Stephenson.
