Conner Frankamp is a Shocker

[Dave Stalwart]

Can Frankamp run the floor in a transition game?

This is the Marshall Era equivalent of "can he hit a d-1 curveball?"

[Dave Stalwart]

This thread went absolutely nuts. We obviously want him.

[Play Angry]

We actually play a really slow tempo though. We run when appropriate, but we are by no means an "up and down" the court team in the traditional sense.

KenPom projects us in the bottom third of possessions/game for the coming season. We score 70+ because we are wickedly efficient with those possessions.

Sometimes it's just not a good culture fit (coaches, players, campus, etc.). Plus, anyone who wants to get away from Bill Self and come to HCGM is okay in my book!

My thoughts exactly. He played well when given the opportunity. It's kind of like baseball, KU signs the big Free Agents (burger boys), and it appears BS is more obligated to play them. It's their spots to lose. There will be a new 1 or 2 year Burger signee every year. If Connor is willing to work hard, he has a better shot at playing time here...where hard work is rewarded. ;)

I look forward to Conner's dad telling Marshall that Conner isn't getting enough PT.

Is your connection also one who has a connection with Alabama and WSU? ;-)

Negative ... Diff types of connects. Also have a bunch of fam from Bama. Cousin's wife went to hs with Money Malcolm Armstead.

I would only want him on the conditions that:

1. His dad stay the F away from the program other than attending games
2. He humble himself to being a walk-on for at least a year, work his arse off in the weight room and on the defensive side of the ball
3. He not take away a scholarship from a future recruit who is just as good/better than him

KU certainly wasted no time in dropping Conner from the roster.

Will that be on ShockerVision?

Hahahahahahaha!!!!!!

He would never even ask that of Marshall. Marshall is a different man from Bill Self. It would be like telling Chuck Norris you don't like his beard.

Could have been a great player and crowd favorite here the next 3 yrs. Too bad, but it's his life. I just hope he doesn't end up at WSU.

What the heck. It may be worth adding Conner to roster just to piss of the Beakers.

[Dave Stalwart]

I love this thread so much.

I remember thinking how well he played after KU was incapable of bringing the ball up the court in the tournament prior to his insertion. I am frankly surprised he isn't part of the plan there. I am sure he is capable of doing well with the right influences.

There has to be something to that. I bet it was ugly.

comments under the Lawrence newspaper article refer to transferring to WSU; I'm not a "member" so I couldn't tell them that he prob wouldn't find "more" playing time at WSU than KU! Interesting to see where he lands

Could it be he just looking for better program? Lol.

KU has too much talent for him to get any legitimate minutes. Hate them all you want but their roster is absolutely stacked this year.
