The potential irony of Conner Frankamp and Perry Ellis

[_kai_]

I try not to add to the rumor mills or anything, but this one was way too juicy to let go. It all goes back to the most recent Wichita State vs Kansas volleyball match in Lawrence. I guess Connor, Perry and Andrew were all at the game. The Jayhawks beat the Shox, we all know, and the guys are walking back to the dorm excited about the victory, posing for pictures with fans etc. That is when Tyler Self rolled up in his hatch back Ford Focus. He asked if the guys needed a ride, they said hell yeah man, it was cold as **** out here. Except they only had room for Andrew in shotgun, and Perry to fit by himself in the back. There were a bunch of gym clothes and crap in the other seat because Tyler does the teams laundry. Connor knew he wouldn't be able to sit back there on Perry's lap, so he just told them it was ok and don't worry about it, and started walking off by himself. As Connor was cutting through the commons late at night, a couple guys who were up to not good started making trouble in his neighborhood. Connor got into one little fight, and his mom got scared and told him he had to move back with his aunti and uncle in Bel-Aire (ks). He whistled for a cab, and when it came near, the license plate said Final Four and had a Shocker in the mirror.

Would love to have Perry as a Shocker. Frankamp probably not a good fit at WSU and being on the team at KU was reportedly always his dream. Whether or not Frankamp well be anything more than a role player at KU remains to be seen.

Everyone would love to have Perry, but I doubt Perry goes anywhere. He is the only good "veteran" player KU has right now. If Bill is smart, he will start figuring out how to build around Perry instead of having Perry babysit all of the wunderkinds... Don't think that will happen this year, but Perry is going to be a 4 year player at this point, so might as well start thinking about next year in his spare time...

I would take Ellis. He could contribute on our team, but I don't know who's minutes Frankamp takes on our squad.

Seriously. Who? Baker? (no) Van Vleet (Hell No!) Cotton? (F@cK no!)

You can get so far being a shooting specialist (See every Valley team, they are all full of them) but at some point, you're gonna need to go bang around and dive for loose balls and box out and dribble through traffic. You can't afford to have 20% of your lineup camped behind the arc waiting for an open 3 pointer.

We have a shooting specialist on our team. He has about 5-6 inches on Conner and sits at the end of the bench.

People speculating on Ellis transferring are crazy. People speculating on Ellis transferring to WSU are crazy and smoking something too.

I heard Conner is transferring at the end of the season anyway. I can see him going to UNI.

Evansville is actually a better fit. They run all their plays for 1 guy.

I agree. I didn't mean to imply I think Perry is leaving KU. I don't. Just stating I would have loved to have Perry on our roster. Connor not so much.

Very true. And he redshirted.

Parents just don't understand....

KU fans taking to twitter imploring the team to spend less time in The Hawk and more time in the gym. I've never seen Perry at any bars (not that I go that much). The rest of the team seems to be there way too often during the season.

I saw Wayne Selden drinking at a club the day before a home game earlier this year.

I'm not saying this doesn't happen everywhere... because it probably does.

How old is Seldon?

[wsushox1]

How old is Seldon?

18 or 19? Not sure. There are certain bars in Lawrence where age doesn't really matter and add in the fact they are on the basketball team and they'll never get carded.

Frankamp would be getting D.J. Bowles minutes. I have a feeling he's be battling Simon for the distinction of being the #4 defender among the guards who aren't an option at SF. Frankamp is starting to look like a shorter. less athletic version of Sean Ogirri.

I think Ogirri was a better defender than Frankamp is. Something I never thought I'd say.
