I like Dukes final four chances but I can see the selection committee already fucking them to counter the perceived special treatment they got in 2010.
I see Curry at the one guard spot if he's legit and Singler playing PF and only one Plumlee starting.If they want to go big they can start the other Plumlee at PF and move Singler to SF.
You can have all the John Walls you want.Not winners, eyes are definitely not on the prize with those types.Good luck with the kid named after a fashion designer if you get him.
Don't think we'll have a problem with Selby.

New York â After announcing his decision to attend Kansas next year during the Jordan Classic game, Josh Selby didnât waste much time in making a bold declaration in the postgame news conference at Madison Square Garden.
âIâm ready to lead Kansas,â Selby said, âto a national championship.â
Selby, the No. 4 ranked basketball senior according to Rivals.com, made his decision official during the 12-minute media timeout of the first half.
The 6-foot-3, 185-pound guard from Baltimore chose KU over Tennessee, Kentucky, Arizona and Connecticut in an announcement that was broadcast live on ESPN2.
Though his recruitment extended to the spring, Selby said he mostly had his mind made up after his campus visit to KU.
âTo be honest, I knew from the jump that I was going to go to Kansas,â Selby said. âI just wasnât quite sure a slight bit, because I built a great relationship with the Tennessee coaching staff. But I knew that I was home when I chose Kansas.â
Selby scored a team-high 21 points on 9-of-18 shooting in the West teamâs 129-125 victory over the East on Saturday.
He said that he was recruited well by KU senior Sherron Collins, the man he figures to replace as lead guard.
âWe just had a connection,â Selby said. âHe just kept forcing in my head, âCoach (Bill) Self, heâs great for you. Heâs going to mature you both on and off the court. Heâs going to get it done, and heâs going to let you achieve your goals.ââ
Selby said playing for Self was a major factor in his decision.
âHeâs very outgoing. He knew how to handle a street kid,â Selby said. âWhen we talked, it felt like I was talking to a father figure.â
After the game, Selby made sure to find his mother, Maeshon Witherspoon. He gave her a kiss on the court.
âThatâs my baby,â Selby said. âShe stuck with me through it all, so I had to give her some type of love back.â
This was a nice announcement as well
Quote:
Zach Peters, a 6-foot-9, 235-pound high school sophomore forward from Prestonwood Christian Academy in Plano, Texas, on Wednesday afternoon verbally committed to play basketball at Kansas University.
"I am very excited to be a Jayhawk and I want to thank coach Self for giving me the opportunity to earn a degree from a fine school like Kansas," Peters said during a press conference at his school Wednesday. "Iâll do my best to repay him and Kansas on the court and in the classroom."
Peters, who made an unofficial campus visit to KU in February for the KU-Nebraska game, announced for the Jayhawks in a ceremony at his high school over Texas, Kentucky and North Carolina.
Peters averaged 15.3 points and 9.0 rebounds his sophomore season for Texasâ Class 5A state champs. Peters hit 56 percent of his shots (three of nine threes) and 63.7 percent of his free throws this past season.
He is a high school teammate of 6-8 freshman forward Julius Randle, who has KU on his early list of schools.
Verbal commitments are non-binding. He will sign his letter of intent with KU in November of 2011.
Check this kid out, look at his size as a sophmore
