Big 12 prospects dominate 2010 mock draft

Sergio Kindle needs to stay healthy for an entire season if he wants to sniff the Top 15. He's an elite talent but consistent health issues make you wonder if an NFL team will take a chance on him.

Eric, who do you see being the next pick from the Big 12 North after Suh? Because the common theme I see is Big 12 South, Big 12 North, Big 12 South, Big 12 South, Big 12 South, Big 12 South, Big 12 South, Pac-10, Big 12 South, Big 12 South.

Best football player in Big 12 is...?

You almost have to group Meier and Reesing together. Without the other, neither would be nearly as productive.

I'm OK with the ESPN.com rankings except for Robert Griffin at Baylor. I'd like to see a little more success out of him before calling him the conference's fifth-best player.

Greene, I couldn't agree more about Stuckey. He doesn't get the chance to put up the numbers that the offensive players do, but from a leadership standpoint and how much he changes the game, I would argue that he's KU's best player.

Defense shines for Missouri

"OK, I'm sick of the Mizzou stories. I know Doogie is behind this. stop now."

It's an Associated Press story, something "Doogie" has no control over. Nobody forced you to click the link, so you know, chill out.

Big 12 is KU's to lose next hoops season

Eric, if Willie Warren leaves, how far do you see OU dropping?

Gary Bedore's KU Basketball Notebook

Don't pay attention to Foamy and others like him/her. They don't understand basketball but enjoy feeling informed.

It's OK, Foamy. Lots of people do it.

Gary Bedore's KU Basketball Notebook

There's about a 0% chance Gillespie would join Self's staff if he were fired at Kentucky. You don't go from million dollar coach at one of the top programs in the country back down to an assistant. It doesn't happen. Plus, who would he replace? Any movement by Dooley and Co. would likely mean Barry Hinson steps in.

Additionally, I'm sure Bill has worked out the number of scholarships available one way or another. He wouldn't be recruiting Lance if there "wasn't room" for him. Someone is leaving.

Gary Bedore's KU Basketball Notebook

"I know the fans aren't happy with Gillespie, but do you really think they'll fire him after two seasons?"

Yes. I really, really do think that. Something that seems to be lost on KU fans is that Kentucky is in a completely different league than us in terms of a fanbase. They're irrational about their 'Cats hoops.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

FlaHawk says that Sherron Collins "isn't what you call a defensive player." Where did this myth get started? Did you watch the National Championship game? Sherron shut down Derrick Rose for almost the entirety of the game and has repeatedly been asked to guard opponents' top scorer (usually at height difference) this season.

Gary Bedore’s KU basketball notebook

"They would have to have the game of their lives to beat us."

And nobody's ever done THAT against the Jayhawks, have they? I'm just one of those fans who gets nervous about any first-round matchup. Hopefully you're right. Friday can't get here soon enough.

Did A&M just open the door for K-State?

Jesse — I had to go off of what the TV guys were telling me, and they said before he even shot it that Turg was calling for him to make it. Any chance they were mistaken? What did you see, exactly?

By making the second free throw, considering that Tech wasn't giving the ball to anyone but Voskuil, you assume they'll hit theirs and be right back where you were. Only with less time. Which is exactly what happened, and they were forced to make the idiotic pass that ended the game.
