    I think he'll visit, but I just don't see him landing at KU. I don't even know if it is that big a deal to me or if I'm missing something.

    If we can bring him in for a big time game, you never know how that can swing for us. We have a lot of work to do in this one, however.

    Personally I hope we can steal Joel Berry out of Florida. The dude can lock down on D.

  • Jones is the guy Self wants the most in 2014. I've also heard, from a damn good source, that Jones grew up a bit of a KU fan. KU is in there good early.

    I think he's a real possibility if we can land any guards in 2014. I'm just not sure how important I feel it is, so I'm not ready to get wrapped up in in. In 2014-2015, we'll likely have Mason, Selden, Frankamp, Greene, White, Adams and Tharpe as sophomores through seniors at the small positions. I'm far more concerned about what we're going to get from post players in the 2014 class since we have a much smaller rotation from that crowd returning in 2014-2015.

    All this talk just about 2014-2015 just about has me salivating. We have a TON of solid parts in line to be there that season, without any of them being significant risks for leaving before that year. Embiid and Selden could leave after their sophomore years, but I don't see it happening after their first year, nor do I expect to lose Perry Ellis before his junior year. I guess I could start another thread on this before going off on a longer tangent, but DAMN does that roster sound fun...

  • I'd really like to land an elite PG in '14. That's the only small I want or desire. After that, go big.

    I think it's way to early for those kind of proclamations.

    Agree. It may be conventional wisdom, but we're just finishing the prior class's early signing week.

    I know that the Michigan State staff feels like they're sitting in very good position as well.
