"Inside information" = Bullshit

I'm fine with Adidas, but something has to change. Get fresh blood in here as assistants. Or change apparel companies or change the kids you go after. Something has to change.

A down year recruiting was to be expected this year as fallout from the trial. UA is back on top recruiting already.

No need to illy panic here. Only if it lasts 3+ years.

Snacks and KT are premier recruiters and brought in a monster class for this past season.

It might be time for Self to cut ties with everyone not named Norm.

Might be time for KU to cut ties with Self. Things are only going to get worse (per some inside info).

Noone on this board has inside information.

Is shindig a tater?

Shit is about to get real....LOL. I actually don't know jack, just being a rebel rouser. . My hatred for Puke and Rat Face is at an all time high..and I was a Sophmore at KU when we lost to them in 91.

And I might have been a wee bit drunk when I posted last night. Please forgive all. I'll do 10 Hail Mary's and 20 Our Father's to repent.

2:30 CST - Cassius Stanley joins Hurt at Duke....

Honestly, I don't blame any of these kids for choosing Duke over Kansas. Especially with the cloud hanging over our program. Duke is hot right now, they are getting so much exposure and love from ESPN the last few years (especially) that they've had big name 1 and dones. There is a different kind of buzz around that program right now, and it's smart for these kids to try to capitalize on it and ride the wave.

"Cloud hanging over the program" is the biggest cop out in the world when it comes to missing recruits. Arizona has the #1 class right now. Louisville and USC are Top 5. All 3 of those teams were implicated worse than Kansas was in the scandals.

Coach K on fire with the back-to-back Elite Eight appearances.

NDBaller - good points on that but if that's not the case.... what's your explanation? It's easy to feel the cloud hanging over having to do with everything going on, but why do you think Louisville and USC are doing this better and KU which has a track record of success and recruiting wins is not doing so hot?

The investigations has put a stink on the program. Even HCBS has acknowledged as much.

Yet we stick with the 3 stripes like a chump ass whore program. The Nike boys like Duke, UNC, and Big Blue are all laughing they asses off.

It only takes a couple bad seasons until you are considered a has been.....just ask Indiana.

I mean the three stripes excuse is BS if Louisville's still doing great...

Louisville doesn't have a single top 30 recruit per 247.

Their top rated player is #39.

Has Indiana just had a COUPLE bad season!

this has less to do with adidas, and more to do with the recruiting staff, imo

unless, and this is entirely possible, its just been a bit of bad luck recently...it wasn't THAT long ago that we got Wiggs...or had a POY followed by a POY candidate

Bad luck and planning. The staff has gone all in on some kids that haven't planned out. Without insider information we have zero idea on why KU has struck out so badly this year. Something is going on though. Ku was considered the heavy favorites for JrE, Hurt and Stanley and barring a complete surprise with Stanley today KU will end up without all three.

gotta think media-fellating of dook has played a roll recently

i mean, the Zion-cam...
