Perry Ellis- Decision to KU

Looks like it may be official. We are out of the mix.

The KSU choice still baffles me. This is a 2 pony race.

I wouldn't rule out any between Kansas, Kentucky and Duke. Calipari is bound to do something illegal to keep him interested. He has everywhere else he's been before.

If Perry won't take money, Cal will take hostages!

On a serious note, too bad for WSU, but good luck to Perry! I will watch him and root for him where ever he ends up! Ugh!!!! I really don't like KU, KSU, Duke, or Kentucky (in fact those are 4 of my 5 most hated teams in college basketball).

KSU is still in it because we now have again a legit men's basketball program. The fact we had Beasley and Walker when Huggins was here, we went to the Elite 8 in 2010, we upset KU and Texas on Big Monday last season (and we won some nice games on ESPN), and we played Duke, Gonzaga, Va. Tech last year and we play Huggie Bear this fall, and we have the "Frank Martin" factor which the national media loves going after, THAT is the reason we're in the Top 4. I do see Duke and Kansas as likely possibilities but it's good to know KSU is in the final running. And as for one-and-done, remember Beasley and where that got him -- the No. 2 pick in the NBA draft. Why does this baffle you?

You are correct. Wally judge made huge improvements during his time at KSU due to the program.

[pinstripers]

KU can and will compete with anyone in the cash department.

[WSU Shocker]

I can see Duke and KU, but KSU?! Seriously?! I would lose respect for Perry if he chooses KSU.

They're just more careful about it than the ones that get caught.

You're right, KSU is a national power. We may never know why Beasley chose KSU and I'd assume that if we ever find out the answer to that question, KSU will be on the wrong end of years of probation. There's a reason Frank Martin was banned from High School basketball in Florida and why Miami didn't make that offer he was begging for.

[tropicalshox]

Hold the press! According to reports on Tweeter the list is not yet officially cut. That will occur by the weekend.

Lets dont be bitter wherever he goes.

You are so, so clueless. Frank Martin was never banned in Florida. He never "begged" for an offer from Miami. Beasley came to K-State because of his relationship with Delonte Hill.
Kansas State has never been on probation in men's basketball - something uk2 and the WheatShockers are very familar with. Check your own glass house before you start tossing stones.

Possibly the reasons KState has not been on probation is three-fold: (1) they have never been CAUGHT, (2) they have never pissed off a petty coach from another team; and (3) they have never been relevant enough to bother with. Now go away -- or better yet go onto KU's board and bother them.

[Shox21]

Now to the topic at hand. I'm disappointed Perry didn't keep us in the mix and of all things to put KState in there.

Here's my message to Mr. Ellis -- forget KState and Kentucky and this has everything to do with the coaches. Of the four, KU and Duke would be my choices. I know Perry could care less what anyone but his family thinks about his choices, but from all I have read he is a smart kid. But if he chooses KState or Kentucky, I think Iwould have to disagree with just how smart he is. If he is wanting to get far, far from home, Duke would be the choise; if he prefers to stay closer, then KU.

Whatever school he picks, I wish him all the luck in the world. He is a local kid and I would want him to be successful and have a bright future. (I only hope I am not forced to watch Kentucky just to be able to watch him play.)
