It's telling that out of all the NBA talent that's come through Lawrence, none of them have an alpha dog personality.

And I heard that embiid is a fattie now.

You go to Lawrence and your NBA dreams will die a slow mournful death. Perry Ellis is a Sr. I like the kid, he seems pretty classy. I mean the kid is not going to be able to post up in the NBA against bigs, he might do this against Texas Tech but not NBA guys. Self is not going to get you to the NBA very quickly.
Oubre, Alexander,

The comments of Bill Self earlier in year about these kids being already ready for NBA and that college they go does not make much difference since most are already built for success because they are for most part NBA ready. Most felt at time it was a direct shot at Cal because Cal was telling them it made difference for future. Honestly think it pissed Cal off. Bragg is riding bench, top 25 guy, Alexander, Oubre, and the can't miss PG that was a complete flame out. Knight from same class is star, Irving same class is star. The Kansas guy is on Milk cartons or playing in Europe. Not a great track record. Wiggins only went to KU because he wanted to be the star, Randle and Harrison's did not want him. Wiggins was not going to share ball with those guys. Cauley Stein another blunder by Self. Geez.

I mean Cal has only lost Wiggins and maybe Oubre. Cal has beaten him for Anthony Davis, Randle, Fox, Monk,
Knight, and quite a few more. I think you will see Self be like UL and get out of fray in going against Cal.
