So basically.

I know Josh Jackson;
So I am really getting a kick out of most of these replies. Some of you guys are very good at making it sound like you know what you are talking about.
But trust me.... You don't.
I think you just want to make yourself sound smart, when in reality you don't know what you are talking about.
This is how bad info gets passed around.
If you dont know about the topic....Dont make yourself sound like you do.
Cos some fans believe anything they hear.

There are two things us folks in the older generation just can't understand. Tattoos, and why on earth the best available prospect in his class would want to waist a year of his life at Kansas.

Edit: I'm just "Joshing". Kansas is a great basketball program, and I wish Mr. Jackson the best wherever he ends up!

Josh Jackson played for Team USA U19 team. The United States has 50 states. 5-0 = 5
Josh Jackson's Prolific Prep and McDonalds AA jersey number is 11. 1+1 = 2
Josh Jackson didn't have Kentucky, Duke, or UNC in his top 3, he picked Kansas, Michigan State and Arizona. Kansas has won 3 NCAA tournament championships, Michigan State 2, Arizona 1. 3-2-1= 0.

The area code for Tucson is 520. Coincidence?

His mother's name is Apples. In singular form, Apple has 5 letters = 5
JJ was born in 1997, the same year Apple celebrated the 20 year anniversary of the Apple II computer (dont believe me, look this shit up) = 2
The home button on modern-day Apple devices is shaped like a circle, which closely resembles a zero = 0

Bah Humbug! You guys got no ambition, I tells ya.

Born 1997: 1+9-9+7 = 8

Arizona will have 0 OOC losses in 2016/2017 season

I doubt I'm the only one here who would take him, but have no trouble leaving him. Liking him wouldn't be hard because he's obviously elite. But I'm just not feeling it, and with Arizona's incoming class, it's more a matter of depth than taking next year's team to a higher level. I think Alkins would bulldoze him in practice. Love what Ferguson will bring.

Kansas: fait accompli

JJ said he already knows where he is going [made that decision Thursday but didn't commit because he wanted his family & friends there] and no chance he'll change his mind [DFP article].

Rumored that he almost committed last Thursday and it would be Kansas [JJ confirmed the near Thursday commitment]. Rumors that he and his circle disagreed on the college choice (it was going to be Kansas) [JJ confirmed it in a Detroit Free Press article].

Miles Bridges is recruiting JJ really hard him despite the fact that he said he already knows where JJ is going, so begs the question why would he still recruit him if he was going to MSU. Azubuike said JJ told him it's between MSU & Kansas, maybe one of the two forgot to mention AZ or it was between the two.

Now you may say JJ keeps things close to the vest, but a couple things that leaked and were rumors turned out to be true.

JJ said recently that trust is a huge factor and to be able to be around people he can trust -- and where he feels like family/family atmosphere. Now the only school that matches up with those things said in the numerous recent interviews (Scout, rivals etc) was Kansas, in fact he almost said the same things word for word [speaking of KU]. Also said he wants a coach who'll push him [to make him better], he's said that about Bill Self & Sean Miller.

Furthermore he now has made it more clear that he would commit after the NIKE Hoop Summit & after Selden hired an agent. Did his role become more prominent at ADIDAS KU.

Lately it has been said [rumors] that it was between MSU/Kansas & Arizona/Kansas [A Michigan State beat writer said Sparty is out of it]. But the only name that has been prominent and a constant has been Kansas. Kansas.

Obviously I'm no insider and grasping at straws here, but I'm just not feeling it. I think he goes KU and willing to sit back and hopefully be pleasantly surprised he picks AZ.

Too much smoke = fire: things leaking out that turn out to true.

CalStateTempe · Post by **CalStateTempe** » Tue Mar 29, 2016 11:49 pm

If thats the case, then I guess JJ wants to get knocked out in the first weekend of the tourney rather then compete for a championship.

Wish him the best whatever he chooses, CATS will be fine either way.

I think you have a case of analysis paralysis, but you have a lot of company among those of us on this board.

But at least you do not have the confirmation bias epidemic that seems to have inflicted many of us.

It will be what it will be...

I don't think that will be our expectation next season. Whereas kansas is heading for a relatively down year.

That wasn't our expectation this year either. In fact, it never should be. But sometimes it is what it is...

Josh Jackson shut Alkins down and frustrated him this past summer when they went one on one three times in a row in that out door game in NY. Alkins couldn't get closer than 15 feet from the basket.

We lose Diallo and Selden and potentially Svi. We are adding Lightfoot, Azubuike and are in the hunt for JJ and Ferguson and Maker and Allen. We'll be okay.

KU was in the talk for a NC just recently.

I'm not going back to look for my quote, but I thought the best the Cats could do this year was Sweet 16. Losing 4 starters then having Ray Smith out really put a damper on this season. Seeing no progression from Ristic and PJC hurt too as the season went along. I had really low expectations of Kadeem Allen, and that proved correct.

York being York, very streaky, and his poor handles cost us 3 end of game possessions.

Trier was a nice surprise though, although his auditioning end of season didn't help the team.

Fair enough and I agree, but the collection of talent between this and next years teams will be noticeably different.

Nevertheless, my initial statement was an indictment of KU who perennially underachieves.

As for JJ, he's earned it and is free to choose whoever he feels is best for his development.

And Ellis and possibly Mason gone. With the likely whiffs on JJ and Ferguson, KU will be in trouble next year. Very little talent on the roster.
