Blue label please!

Blue label please!

I'm going to need a case before this is all over.

Blue label please!

Are you a closet Jayhawk? My god man, how could you choose blue over gold. :bball_spin:

Doc, is there really something to all this?

I love looking into the future... Marshall is capable of finding hidden gems and doing the unthinkable... Do anything is possible

Who is Walker?

Probably CJ Walker, a 2016 grad, which means he isn't eligible to sign until November. If our buddy choida wants a dual signing, he'd better be prepared to hold his breath a loooong time.

DID FRED VAN VLEET HAVE A BABY WITH GARRETT STUTZ!?

That's one of the single funniest things I've ever seen on this forum. I salute you, kind sir.

Also ... Humphries would be a HUGE pickup. In every way. This would be a major recruiting splash.

I'm thinking Humphries doesn't play until 2016... That's the logic behind the dual signing

I hope Humphries gets in this year, and can convince CJ to come in 16. I'd love to see this kid get some development time over the summer and with our all americans.

Everybody looks good in highlight videos. Humphries is 7' tall and has some nice skills, but...

...I don't notice much athleticism. The lack of foot speed has already been discussed.

What I do notice is what appears to be a lack of conditioning.

Humphries is comfortable and has some skills setting screens, but he's got a year or 2 of conditioning work before his D1 game is going to really emerge. Morris' HS highlights showed what appeared to be a better conditioned and obviously more athletic player.

That's why Morris was rated a 2.5 star recruit and Humphries is a 4 star being recruited by Kansas, Florida, Arizona, Utah and many others because Morris had so much more potential.

Some call Kevin Love unathletic too. Well, they wouldn't be totally wrong but he does have great skills.

You do realize Humphries was one of the top 3 players in the FIBA World 17U last summer playing against future NBA and college stars?

You also realize that Ehimeh Orupke is a better athlete than Kevin Love? You do remember Kevin Love don't you? Here are some of his high school highlights:

Considering how poor of an athlete he was in those highlights, it's amazing that he even made a college team.

Kevin Love has a doppelganger and his name is Isaac Humphries.

Isaac Humphries has the skill set of a 28 year old NBA veteran, not some "nice skills". He is a plug and play freshman who understands the game waaaaay beyond his years. He will not play more than two years in college barring some really weird circumstances such as injury. You don't get those kind of skills unless you have a work ethic. Work ethic means conditioning won't be a problem.

Conditioning will happen.

Dammit you bastard you beat me to the punch!

In the 2014 FIBA U17 World Championships, Isaac averaged 18.9 ppg (3rd best in the tournament), 11.6 rpg (3rd), 1.6 apg, 3.3 bpg(T2nd) for the second place Australia team (to the United States). He shot 57.6% from the floor and 82.9% from the line. He was also named to the All-Tourney team.

YES PLEASE.

OH MY GOOD LORD GET HIM HERE TOMORROW!!
