October 9, 201312 yr Oubre has picked KU. The dad is either disingenuous or not very smart when it comes to Coach Cal. Kelly Oubre?s father not a fan of the one-and-done » UK basketball and football recruiting news “That’s one of the reasons behind choosing Kansas,” Kelly Oubre Sr. told the newspaper. “Coach Self doesn’t kick you out if you are not ready. I don’t care too much for it (one-and-done) because if you look at it over the last couple drafts, the success of the guys one-and-done is few and far between. Every once in a while you find guys who can make it through. I’m more concerned about his education after maybe a two-year stint or three-year stint. How close is he to that degree and having a greater business mind going into the next level, whatever that is? I think the first year in college as well as the pros, maybe two, is a learning curve. That learning curve can be cut considerably if he stayed and developed in college.” I'm happy for the kid, and wish him nothing but the best at KU, but don't make idiotic comments dude. Guess Oubre Sr. forgot about Xavier Henry, Josh Selby, Ben McLemore, and the pending departures of Selden and Wiggins...Idiot.

"Coach Cal kicks his guys out after 1 year whether or not they're ready, you'd have to beg him for him to let you come back, we're not like that here at Kansas, we are here to better prepare YOU. He says he wants to see how many UK players he can get in 1 draft etc etc because it's all about what he wants and how he is perceived. Wouldn't surprise me.

October 22, 201312 yr Moss Point's Devin Booker has completed visits, but still mulling college decision Basketball recruiting: Moss Point's Devin Booker has completed visits, but still mulling college decision (with poll) | gulflive.com Booker visited both Kentucky and Michigan State on the weekend of Sept. 6-9 and went to Michigan on Oct. 5. He arrived back in Mississippi Sunday after the first of consecutive trips to Columbia, Mo., with plans to return to this weekend when his father, Melvin, is honored along with the rest of Missouri's 1994 Big 8 championship team.
October 23, 201312 yr Kentucky Recruiting @RecruitKentucky Those asking about my Devin Booker prediction, I think it's close. I think Mizzou has the slight edge over UK, about 60-40 right now.
