Opinion: Wayne Selden sizes up recruits

It's a terrible thing to start your feature out with a quote about how you weren't a good reporter. I don't care how tongue in cheek you're trying to be.

Here's what type of player KU is getting in Tarik Black

Why mention free throw rate as a positive and then note how Tarik Black is a terrible free throw shooter in the next segment? That doesn't make sense to me unless the idea is to build to some advanced statistical idea -- something I didn't see here. I mean, if he's awful at shooting free throws then who cares how often he shoots them? Still, great article; always great to know the facts about new players.

NBA teams size up McLemore, Withey at combine

Those comments were about as bad as the EJ death threats after that ISU win this year.

KU guard Ben McLemore sets press conference for 2:30 p.m. Tuesday

No way he gets that disease. Noah's parents were rich and (semi-)famous. B-Mac's family are unemployed and in prison. Sad as I am to see him leave, he really needs to do this for his family. I don't even want him to catch that disease.

McDonald's All-American Wayne Selden next up for KU hoops

Dude averaged 25 points and 10 rebounds and he's 6'5"? Way early, but that reminds of D-Wade so much. Maybe a bit thicker, but I'll need to see him play in games instead of highlight films to be sure of his game.

Anyway, we're going to be dangerous from outside late in the year once Tharpe, Whit3, Selden, Greene and Frankamp figure it out together. Tharpe demonstrated, in my mind, that he was better at driving to the bucket and then kicking back out to the wings than Elijah was. I'm betting Selden has this skill as well. I'm also betting that Selden can finish better at the rim through traffic than any guard we had this year.

Selden has the type of body that should also allow him to bump around inside the paint area like a pinball and get some good interior passes off/get fouled a lot.

Pretty excited for this guy. I think our cadre of guards/SFs next year will be the best in awhile after some seasoning. I'm just upset it's so far away.

KU's bench and some numbers that are hard to believe

My guess was Selby. I knew he had to be close.
