Bernard James should be on that list.
He's really experienced for a junior, having redshirted and played internationally.
They don't really have an elite recruit that figures to push him out. Ben McLemore could take one wing spot, but seems certain that Releford will have the other.
They're gonna play fast and he can play in the open court probably better than their off guards last year.
He's not going to get in foul trouble very often. I think this is a concern with Robinson considering he committed a foul about every 7 minutes last year.
Shooting 50% when you take almost half your shots from 3 is pretty good. He's made a good percentage of his 3's too. Not sure how he "can't hit a jump shot to save his life". Didn't look that way last year.
I thought he should have played more last year. I was never very impressed with Selby or Reed. He played more before Selby became eligible and before he got hurt. Maybe he lost some confidence in that time, or maybe just was the victim of a numbers game or a promise made to Selby, but it shouldn't happen this year.
Didn't realize McLemore didn't get cleared. Is there any chance he will be late, or is he definitely DQ?
Partial qualifier. He won't be playing in '11-12 and KU only has 8 recruited scholarship players.
Yeah, that hurts.
Guess we'll see what kind of a coach Self is with less than the best talent.
Thomas Robinson - 5*
Naadir Tharpe - 4*
Connor Teahan - 3*
Jeff Withey - 5*
Tyshawn Taylor - 4*
Elijah Johnson - 4*
Travis Releford - 4*
Jamari Taylor - 3*
---------------------------
Plus McLemore who checks in at 4* and the rest of the roster, which probably could beat ours next year.
Come on. This is like when people said that Duke sucked because their players sucked despite the fact that they were all four and five stars.
How many stars was Shelvin Mack? Gordon Heyward? Matt Howard? Khyle Marshall? Zach Hahn? Ronald Nored? Andrew Smith?
What the hell are you arguing against now KA? #brokenrecord
Don't think I'm arguing against anything.
I can't believe you bothered to look all those up.
No you would rather just put down people that do research on things rather than talk out their ass like you do.
Looking up star ratings counts as research, but a honest comparison of the statistical and team accomplishments of Kevin Durant and Jimmer Fredette draws nothing but ridicule.
Got it.
Don't think I'm arguing against anything. Others are arguing against me, as is usually the case.
But somehow, I'm the troublemaker. Not my fault people seem to be obsessed with picking apart every word of mine.
Even when I'm right -- as I have been most of this thread -- I'm wrong in the eyes of many here.

I don't usually try to draw people like you into arguments, but good lord man do you have to play the other side on every single debate????
WOW
Not sure what you mean.
I'm not the one that started the debate. I wasn't the one that said Fredette was nothing but a chucker and basically made him out to be some 2nd rate player, more or less comparing him to Wayne Ellington.
I'm sorry I refuse to capitulate to such stupidity. Fredette was a helluva player and took a really average team to a solid showing in the NCAA tournament even after they lost their 2nd best player.
Just read the thread before you make your knee jerk reactions please.
Maybe if you didn't just assume you were right all the time you wouldn't be "wrong in the eyes of many here". Most educated people tend to realize this notion...I guess some don't have that opportunity...
