Even ISU is recruiting decently well. The two players coming in next year are a 4* PG Chris Colvin from Chicago and the #2 JUCO recruit in the nation per ESPN, Marquis Gilstrap.

I never put much credence in JUCO recruits. KU has the 1 and 2 best this year, and they suck for the most part.

No way, lowest 3 seed most likely.

 

 

 

I'll take that bet.

 

 

 

Watchtower? Oh, Watchtower? Where Art Thou?

 

 

I predicted weeks back that Kansas locked themselves into a 2 seed with the win over Oklahoma on the road, provided they DON'T bow out with a huge upset in the first round of the Big XII tournament. Not only did the ytoung Jayhawks manage to do that yesterday, but also got trounced in Lubbock last week.... and they'll still most likely grab a 2. Funny after everyone was reacting to the Izzo claim that Michigan State should be a No 1 if they were to win the Big 10 tourney, most if not all "experts" turned around and said they would give that 1 to Kansas over MSU, even though they beat them suring the reg season. All a mute point now...

It would be a shock if Missouri doesn't win this tournament now considering how much better they are than everybody left in the tournament, even with the tournament not in Columbia. What a strange tournament this has been.

 

 

Ok State looks really good, and are basically playing at home.

 

James Anderson is the best player you have never heard of.

Lunardi has KU as a 2 in KC and OU as a 3.

The Kansas part isn't that surprising, that could still change. OU dropping to a 3 is pretty shocking. I would imagine if Duke loses today or Memphis doesn't win their tourney, OU has a good case to get back in the 2 spot. Wake and Nova have a chance to move up to 2s with big weekends. Kansas is hoping more s*** doesn't go down, I'd say it's 50/50 they actually get a 2 when it's all said and done.

 

Meanwhile, Jerry Palm has OU as a 2 and Kansas as a 3.

I'm liking Okie State.

 

Is Kansas ISU 2001 reincarnate? Never got ranked as high, but that'd be something.

 

 

I don't remember the 2001 Iowa State team. Did they have a starting lineup of 2 freshman, a soph, Junior and a walkon?

 

Edit....

 

The team that lost to Hampton. I doubt that,unless the Buffalo Bison are the 15 sed.

 

Give me a Sweet 16 run and this is a complete success for this year's team.

I've heard planty of "experts" talk about a possible Michigan State 1 seed if things break right for them. I must being missing all the Kansas as a 1 seed talk even before their loss to Baylor. They may be able to get a 2 seed, but I would have no problem accepting a wager that they will not be a 2 seed now. 3 seems right, but their is probably more of a chance that they get a 4 seed then a 2 seed.

 

The baracketology 101 site, which had the best numbers for hitting seeds correctly last year has Kansas at a 4 seed, but they have Missouri as a 3 which is a bit shocking to me.

I was thinking more of a REALLY good team from the year before (ISU finished #3) losing it's best player, but playing well the next year thanks to an experienced point guard, but losing some momentum down the stretch, losing in the first round to Baylor, and eventually blowing it in the first round to some MEAC school. :P

We were better than Really good team, we were the Champs :)

 

and we lost more than our best player, we lost our entire starting team.
