After we beat them in 2012, Kansas and Adidas started cheating their asses off. KU started getting elite recruits every year, but that's all they ended up being.
2013 : Andrew Wiggins, #1 Rivals recruit, generational talent. After 5 years in Minnesota they're offering 1st round picks for a team to take Wiggins and his awful contract and still can't find a suitor.
They did sign Joel Embiid that year, he is the lone Kansas NBA All Star.
2014: Cliff Alexander, #4 Rivals recruit. Cliff was busted taking money from an agent, Kansas got a pass per usual. Cliff declared for the draft after 1 year, he went undrafted and never caught on in the league.
2015: Cheick Diallo, #5 Rivals recruit. Cheick never should have been eligible to play, per usual, Kansas got a pass. He would've been better off ineligible instead of being ruined by Self and Kansas. Spent a year doing nothing at Kansas, declared for the draft, went in the 2nd round. 4 years later the Pelicans didnt pick up his option and he's a free agent wandering the earth like Caine in Kung Fu.
2016: Josh Jackson, Rivals #1 recruit. He had several of the court issues at Kansas which were swept under the rug and have continued in the NBA. He left Kansas after 1 year was drafted by the Suns 4th overall. They have given up on him after 2 years. They sent him packing with Melton and 2 draft picks for Jahvon Carter and Kyle Korver who they're waiving.
2017: Billy Preston, Rivals #11 recruit. He was really bad at hiding and driving his illegal benefits, he was ruled ineligible by Kansas and was later exposed by the FBI wiretaps. He went undrafted and plays in the G League.
2018 Quintin Grimes, Rivals #8 recruit. Had a ho hum freshman season, things are so bad that he transferred to Houston and will likely have to sit out a year.
With all the talent Self has had at Kansas, they have 6 guys left in the league at the moment.
Joel Embiid
Devonte Graham
Josh Jackson
Frank Mason
Svi Mykhailiuk
Andrew Wiggins
Oubre will likely sign with someone and maybe the Morris twins, but that is still pitiful considering the amount of talent that has gone through Kansas. I dont know if their recruiting fell off because Adidas got busted or all their busts got exposed. Yall can keep saying it doesnt matter where these kids go to college as far as NBA success goes, but the facts suggest otherwise.
*I'm not saying UK doesn't have busts
*I'm not saying every Kansas player is a bust
*I'm not saying every Duke player is a bust
* I know some of you dont care about the NBA and what happens to guys after college
