He showed flashes of it this year before his knee injury. Another very good guard, Denis Clemente becomes elegible next season after transferring from Miami, where he played a lot as a true freshman. Jamar Samuels will also be good down low. KSU is also supposedly looking at some good Juco players right now also. There are also two top 100 players locked up for the 2009 recruiting class. You know, I actually think Walker might stay. He has always been #2. He was #2 to O.J. Mayo in high school and is #2 to Beasley this year. He might want to stick around another year to be the man and to improve his draft status.

KU fans seem to forget what their team was like when Rush and Chalmers were freshmen. I remember them being a little inconsistent and losing quite a few games. KSU finished 3rd in the #2 RPI conference, how do they not deserve going to the NCAA? They beat KU and they beat OU on the road. When they talk about Big East and Pac 10 teams with losing records getting in, I am pretty sure a team that goes 10-6 in the #2 RPI conference gets in.

A question for KU fans. What do you do after Robinson, Chalmers, Rush, Arthur, and Jackson are all gone? About all that leaves is Collins and Aldrich. Do you think Rush, Chalmers, Arthur, or Collins will leave early?

I think that Rush and Arthur may leave, but I think that Collins and Chamlers will stay. Chalmers I don't think really translates all that well to the NBA, he just isn't big enough for his position, and Collins has been hurt and had to come off the bench behind a lot of great players, not letting him showcase his talents enough. KU will just reload. They have one of the best recruiting classes in the Nation, including 2 incredible JUCO transfers next year. It will be more of the same for us...excellence!
