why is it OK for Cousins to lobby X and Wall to go to UK? Is he somehow not considered a representative of the university?

the NCAA makes a stink about facebook groups but do they not care when a player (who might actually affect a recruit’s decision) applies pressure?

LOL @ Demarcus Cousins. He’s seems like a good guy to be around. Hopefully everything works out for these kids and they make the right choices.

So Johnny when you say Lance will be a “star” at SJU, do you mean like Mike Rosario at Rutgers? Leading the team in scoring while losing 20 games and finishing in the Big East cellar. Lance coming to KU would mean pre-season #1 ranking and a boat loads of national TV time. At KU is where he will be a star.

Or Lance could just beat Henry to the one sure available scholarship at KU. And have a chance to win a National Championship.

So “Born Ready” really means “Born Ready to Play Second Fiddle”
I’m shocked that he and his Dad are willing to have him sit there on a chair at the dance while Self is dancing with Henry telling him he’s the prettiest.
Lance should grow a pair and tell him to shove it and go to St. John’s where he’ll be the STAR.

I think KU was Lance’s first option, but he has to be at least a little put off about how this has played out. He’s a competitive kid and I’m sure he doesn’t think anyone, including X, is better than him.

Worst case scenario for KU is X goes to Kentucky and Lance stays home at SJU or goes somewhere else.

Can’t wait to see how it unfolds…

Monty or Adam,

Do you know if the KU staff is confident that Lance will choose KU if X goes with Cal? Is SJU only an option if X goes to Kansas?

Good stuff, I’d heard that same thing as well.

The other thing I just found out recently was that Tyrel Reed’s sister is currently a team manager (not getting any subsidy). So if KU were to offer over their limit, they could make Tyrel a walk on, but give his sister a managerial scholarship so it’s still the same net cost to the family.

As to your note below, I also think they’re expecting a decision to come within a week or so.
