I guess I am just shocked by how high some of these players have gone and how unknown some are.

We recruited Cameron Payne hard. We recruited Josh Richardson as well.

Good to see Coach Jans had one of his Bowling Green players taken high in the second round.

I wish I could say I feel sorry for Cliff Alexander and Aaron Harrison, but I don't. Guess their dreams went to KU and UK to die.

I think it just goes to show you can't always believe all the hype. Playing professional ball, or more importantly, sports, is a pretty rare thing and some of these young kids are convinced by adults that they have what it takes to make the big bucks.

Good luck to them in finding meaningful employment.

RJ Hunter is a high level guy that just happened to play for his dad at Georgia State, Creighton knows a bit about this. He's tall for a 2 guard and is a playmaker with a nice shot.

Welp, the Wizards can eat **** and die now. Hope Sleepy works out for ya, and by "works out" I mean, "becomes an embarrassment to you worse than Jordan's last two years in your ugly-*** uniform and somehow causes John Wall to leave and go to the Knicks where he and Cleanthony Early will beat up on your sorry ***es for eternity."

At least we had the Cliff Alexander comedy last night to take the edge off.

[Cdizzle]

Somebody needs a Snickers.

Don't post hangry.

I think someone needs to go "hockey"; must be all plugged up.

Here’s a short roll of “hockey” tickets… sorry, I couldn’t locate a ‘beaker’ logo on the tickets and I don’t Photoshop.

Sad thing is they will still make really good money if they decide to go the International route.

[HockeyShock]

Kelly Oubre is a punk and gets drafted in the first round. Tekele Cotton is the best shutdown defender in the game and gets passed over. Yes, I'm pissed.

Yes, they will, but what a huge blow to those two massive egos.

Why is this a "sad thing"?

I held a very slim hope that TC would get drafted, but deep down knew it wasn't realistic. Just my personal opinion, but I think this will turn out just like their college careers. TC will work his butt off every step of the way and earn every single promotion he gets all the way up to the NBA ranks, where he will have a nice career and immediately make someone's favorite team better. Oubre on the other hand, will be thrust into the limelight, will show flashes of absolute brilliance, will be expected to do great things, will realize that he's never the best player on the floor, and will sleep his way through a 2-3 year career that ends quietly after rookie Zach Brown runs circles around him on his way to a game changing dunk.

Because you know it’s all about the shoes, ‘bout the shoes, ‘bout the shoes…

Good Lord those are horrible! I visited with a die-hard KU fan this morning and he said he was embarrassed listening and watching the “sleepy eyed” burger boy last night.

Not sure this is where it belongs, but I'll put it here anyway. This is an article that lists undrafted free agent signings that have already occurred, and in theory, they will update it with future signings. It shows Seth Tuttle signing with Miami.
