btw my ex girl taught Anthony Davis last yr i saw him play too many times and he is so raw like he needs to work on a lot to be a respectable small/power forward but his ceiling is limitless tho

He got a jumpstart on most these niggas though, he was a guard most of his life and had a crazy growth spurt nh.

Mods aint on they shit.

niggas can't log off the IC though b?? sheesh nh

LAWRENCE, Kan. -- Kansas will be without two talented freshmen this season.

Coach Bill Self said Friday that Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor have been declared partial qualifiers by the NCAA and will not be eligible to play this season. They cannot practice until after the fall semester.

McLemore, a 6-foot-5 guard, finished his prep career at Christian Life Center in Texas after his suburban St. Louis high school closed following the 2009-10 season. Traylor attended Julian High School in Chicago before going to the IMG Academy in Florida.

The NCAA has also ruled that Kansas freshman Braeden Anderson was a partial qualifier.

Kansas won the Big 12 title last season but lost Markieff Morris and Marcus Morris, Josh Selby and several other contributors.
-------------------
Beezy lost.

This plus A&M's coach taking a medical leave of absence gots to make Baylor the undisputed favorite in the Big 12 now.

Other news: St. Johns took in MULTIPLE walk-ons due to them only having 8 players under scholarship eligible to play after 3 of their incoming freshmen were declared academically ineligible. They're looking to add about 5 or 6 walk-ons to the squad to fill their roster needs.

^That's a big loss.
SMH @ St Johns

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

So how would you guys rank the top conferences (just the power 6)???

I'd probably go:
Big East
ACC
Big 12
Big 10
SEC
Pac 10

Kruger is a good coach he will put a competitave team on the court. Im interested to see how he recruits out there in OK. Seemed like he was scared to go after top players when he was in Vegas. Our new coach already recruiting better then Kruger ever did while here.

I think OK is his last stop though so he will be there for a while. By time he is done OK will be a Top 3 Big-12 team if not #1.

LOL @ you hyping this dude up for the L!

no love for robbie hummel making 1 of those all american teams? i mean he is all purdue got, now that jajuan and etwaun r gone.

 

[MillzOG]

Myck Kabongo, Marquise Teague >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Josia Turner

No way Jordan Taylor from Wisconsin makes 1st team all american this year either, Thomas Robinson from Kansas might be ready for that breakout season though

 

[beezy f baby]

t-rob will have a good year
we have no bench tho
i dunno if i can take both the chiefs and the jayhawks being losers ..i been looking forward to college bball since the first week of the nfl

smh at that article saying selby was a factor...selby sucks and he gay

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

Damn that is true, idk why Hummel ain't in there.

 

[Co_Town_Michael]

So how would you guys rank the top conferences (just the power 6)???

I'd probably go:
Big East
ACC
Big 12
Big 10
SEC
Pac 10

Looks about right.
If we went all conf. though, the Pac-12 would be in the 9th/10th strongest.
C-USA, A-10, MWC, Colonial >>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Big 12 gone be wack this year tho...

2 terrible squads (Iowa St., Texas Tech)
5 reloading squads that have no chance in hell to win the conference (K-State, Texas, Oklahoma, Missouri, Oklahoma St.)
And
3 actual contenders who could easily be in the Sweet 16 (Baylor, Texas A&M, Kansas)

 

[caddo man]

The only reason SEC gets mention is because of two teams that never have good football teams. Kentucky and Vanderbilt. Thats why I think they are to go get Louisville to join the SEC.

 

[SunflowaSeeds]

A-10 should definitely be worse than they were last year.
Richmond is rebuilding now.
Temple lost Lavoy Allen, thought they kept all the other starters so we'll see.
St Louis may compete... but not really.

It's Xavier and Temple.
