Malik Newman to Kansas

[57stratdawg]

Good for him, I guess.

 

[dawgstudent]

That's a recruiting spill we can maybe market.

If you are a top player in the State of MS and you want to transfer - we send you to the likes of Duke and Kansas.

I posted this back in February that I was told he would transfer to Kansas.

Josey121 told me I was the dumbest poster on SPS...

As usual Josey, good job**

 

[PineGroveBully]

Or Oklahoma

Edited to add Louisville

Newman said Self and his staff sold him on the opportunity to be a playmaker in the backcourt.
"They just said they want me to get back to the player I was," Newman said. "I told the staff that I don't need to play the point. They just want me to handle the ball, make plays and make the team better. That's what they sold me on."

That's not what Horatio and Mailk wanted to do at MSU, it was play the point or I'm gone. What's going on here???

Hey Deep said same thing, I need ZV2 and Texreb to update their records*

Mm

Honestly - we should have a top freshman recruiting every season with this strategy.

 

[engie]

Seeming pretty obvious to me that there is more to the whole academics thing. It's the only thing that makes any of it add up. If he was going to be ineligible either way -- it makes sense to have a reset.

I didn't hear you double-down after the NBA combine nor after HW begged to come back. And Patdog said that it was the dumbest rumor he'd ever heard. I said that you are the dumbest poster on SPS. Wasn't the first time, won't be the last. The fact that you gloat that "you got one right" makes me confident in this.

I agree with most of what you're saying but we should be able to get Brown. I'm not calling this a sky is falling like rugb but this is a guy we should get.

 

[ronpolk]

Not gloating, although I don't think this is a huge loss, just pointing out you're an idiot. That's all.

 

[DAWG61]

I don't think Newman was really accepted in by the rest of the team last year. He seemed like the outcast. That's on him for not figuring out how to fit in with them. Howland telling him he had to compete to start was the final straw. Why go back to a team that already doesn't like you when you can benefit from the big name of Kansas.

 

[karlchilders.sixpack]

Taking the LONG WAY to One and Done.

 

[klong-dog]

To WKU in 2 yearz!!!

 

[BiscuitEater]

The 'only' way this makes any kind of sense .. Newman wouldn't be academically eligible 'if' he stayed at State for next year. Ergo .. why sit out a year at Kansas and then have to compete .. to play PG?

 

[rugbdawg]

Money. Our guys weren't happy on the return. Weren't renewing the contract.

 

[thekimmer]

Yeah, I noticed WKU was in the mix before he chose KU. Stans has not changed.

I've thought all along that this would be the issue. He probably quit going to class at some point, expecting to go pro, and isn't eligible as a result. He probably needs the redshirt year to get caught up - it's the only thing that makes sense for sitting out a year as a transfer.

Wouldnt this come out and be known by all? If he transfers and isnt in good academic standing, it will be known...right?

So, the whole meeting with Howland was just for show?

Why does he need to double down? He made the statement and didn't back peddle from it.

Please don't ask people to repeat themselves like mad anti-bunting maniacs.**

 

[121Josey]

I was wrong. He did double-down.

I posted about this during the year and was called crazy by most who responded. I heard several months ago he was looking at Kansas and I'm still hearing this. However, western Kentucky is in play too.
