Things started deteriorating even faster when she dissed his dress shorts.

Nailed it.

jeez this officiating is bad right now

Probably Zook. This should certainly put them both on the hot seat for the coming seasons. It's Weber. Zook inherited a mess and has improved it a bit. Weber took over a great situation and has wrecked it. a successful football program is more important than a successful basketball program, though.

It's a heck of a lot harder to win in the Big East than in the Big 12. Granted, aTm fans aren't very dedicated to the hoops team (not compared to football), but I think it's a reasonably attractive job now that BCG and Turgeon have put it on the map. And aTm is a program that is guaranteed to land in a major conference should there be another shake up, so no worries on the front.

yeah. it'll be pretty bad

that has to be the most amazing post i've ever read.

shaq's corpse shoots an even uglier free throw than living shaq.

Not watching, how bad was it? pretty ugly, but he's playing again.

i cant stand wade

So am I in the minority in thinking Zona is the better gig? I'm kind of surprised by this. Was Miller unhappy there? Because it looked like he was creating a monster.

good. can we have josiah turner then? (personally i think UA is a much better gig than Maryland) No. UCLA gets first dibs. you're gonna get shabazz muhammed. leave something for the rest of us. Recruiting has proven to be tougher with an AD that's actually paying attention to what's going on. :wink: We just need some coaching changes pronto so Self can poach some recruits.

That's actually too bad. I mean it's good for our chances of winning, but I still like Kirk. Out of curiosity, who would he have been responsible for guarding if he had played? Rose. sounds like Kirk caught a break then.

Well that's embarrasing do you think that would have prevented an invitation if this happened a year ago? I know ND isn't AAU, but they seem to get a free pass on that because of superior academic rep (and the fact they are obviously a dream addition to any conference.)

Not that it will affect anything, but Nebraska was booted from the AAU today.

how about tenderly cupping your balls?

Selby confirms he's not returning and entering the draft. Will be interesting to see of he was just overrated or poorly developed at KU.

ISU gets another transfer: Will Clyburn from Utah, who averaged 17 points and 8 boards a game this year. He'll sit out a year and have one to play.

Illinois fans-- JUCO player Stan Simpson just committed to Memphis. I saw he was a former UI commit or player. What was the deal with him?

They only have 3 seniors, so it's probably difficult to go too hard on other guys without knowing if the Morii or Selby were coming back. They are in on some more guys than just those 3 though. Self hasn't had this issue in the past. He recruited Deron Williams and Dee Brown to Illinois when Frankie Willimas still had one year left. I think there is more to Self struggling with recruiting now than this. the price of gas is really high, maybe he had to switch from a dump truck full of cash to a prius No, in all seriousness I would think there are a couple of reasons why. 1. Cal ending up at Kentucky. They go after the same guys, Cal does whatever it takes to get the top guy. Before when he was at Memphis, some of the elite recruits weren't as easily sold on Cal, they weren't playing in a major conference. When he went to UK it hurt Kansas. 2. The perception that Self isn't good at prepping kids for the NBA. I don't agree with this one as I think he has done a good job of developing some kids. The Morri, Darnell Jackson, and Cole Alrdich come to mind. But, the elite top of the line talent see the supposed one and done guys; Rush, Arthur, and Selbys struggle in year one and have to stick around. Plus a lot of their pros of late have underperformed where they were drafted. Brandon Rush, Darrel Arthur, Julian Wright, Cole Ardich, Xavier Henry, etc. That whole group really hasn't made a large mark on the NBA. 3. The perception that KU rarely plays to seed in the NCAA tournament. Whereas UK, Duke, and UnC generally tend to go farther and play closer to their seed. I only agree with the first one, but feel that the others play into why Self has struggled of late getting the one and done guys. I don't get why he isn't going after more 4 stars. He does a lot better with them anyways. I think that analysis is pretty accurate, though I think the one that's missing is the perception that Self has a team-oriented system that restricts star talent and doesn't allow them to shine/take over game. That to me is perhaps the most damaging perception to his recruiting.

Thompson and Hamilton from UT declare for draft per barking carnival. If true, the Big 12 will be really bad next year. There will be a serious dearth of talent.
