KK's never forgiven KU for not fixing his tiny hands syndrome. [Reply]

Did I miss something? When did Hampton committ? [Reply]
all that article is when he’s going to announce. Not his choice of schools. Kids change their minds all the time. Again, why are you so sure that you have him in the starting lineup. [Reply]

I hope you are right, but I'm not holding my breath. I don't think either Grimes or Dotson have much of a chance of getting drafted, so if Hampton signs ....I suspect Grimes will transfer. If Hampton ends up elsewhere, then Grimes could be back--though I doubt it. Regardless, given the log-jam of bigs and abundance of guards...playing time would be tight. [Reply]

He would start for every team in America day 1. [Reply]
Shortly after the Silvio news dropped, he tweeted that he was moving up his announcement. The date he set is before the deadline to pull out of the draft, so he’s clearly not waiting to see whether Tucker will play at Memphis (some thought it hinged on this). However, in reality, Memphis was out of it as soon as they signed Boogie Ellis.
Those “in the know” have said for a while that it would be either KU or overseas (Australia). Under Armour has apparently tried to steer him to Australia. But you can bet he’s not going on ESPN to announce that he’s joining the Sydney Kings.
Also, Evan Daniels officially picked KU a few weeks back. He’s al ost never wrong and basically only makes a pick when he has info.
He’ll be joining KU. And they’ll be as loaded as they’ve been since maybe 08. And that’s not even factoring in his best friend Jalen Wilson, who is probably joining him. And to think, things looked pretty bleak just a few weeks ago. [Reply]

Both shooting threes and shooting them well is incredibly important in this day and age of basketball, but I'll take actually being good after last year. With De Sousa back in the fold somehow, that's virtually a guarantee once Dotson returns. [Reply]
