K has cut minutes for upperclassmen in the past when a more talented freshman arrives.Paulus immediately comes to mind

Make no mistake, Matt isn't anywhere near a lock down defender. He is ok at best. All this crap I hear on here about Matt being a great defender is a joke. He's slow and consistently gets beat off the dribble. Luke is making huge strides on D and I think before the season is over he will be the better defender.
Matt and Grayson aren't true points, either, and we've gone w/ one of them over Derryck some already this year. If Derryck's growth curve models Quinn's, he won't have a certain spot at the top of the rotation until his senior year.
Derryck's decision-making is what needs the most work, and that's a much easier thing to come by through experience than the effort it takes to develop a shot.
Thanks for the info. I hope the staff can close the deal. Bolden would be an awesome piece of the puzzle for next year's team.
We're in a fight for Bolden but if his evaluation is accurate, he'd be a welcome low-post addition likely to get serious minutes @ the 5. I read in the past his parents like Duke but he favors UK (they attract 4s/5s like we attract 2s/3s, apparently.) We may have several months of waiting before he decides...
Has anyone heard how the coaches visit with Bolden went yesterday? I was hoping for some good news!

No post-mortem on the visit but a little background: http://bit.ly/1OGS5P3
"I'm not really trying to get it over with, but I have it down in my head to the schools that I'm really thinking about so I'm not really going through the eliminating process because I pretty much did that," Bolden told Rivals.
"I really don't try to put pressure on myself (to decide) or have somebody put that stress on me. I'm really trying to take it slow and day-by-day and not trying to think of me being a class changer."
Scheyer adjusted his glasses while leaving the Bolden house, which should tell everyone how K feels about his chances of landing Bolden.
That should tell everyone how K feels about his chances of landing Bolden.
Yeah, this feels like a 'head = KU' due to playing time and 'heart = UK' due to his mentor's UK connections.
Based on what, exactly? Only people very close to Bolden know what's up. Anything else is pure speculation.
You'll be surprised to know that recruiting threads contain a lot of speculation. In this case, KU may lose its top 3 bigs this year = playing time and Bolden's mentor played the same role for Terrence Jones = UK connections.
Dude, why are you so argumentative?
So the answer is that it was based on speculation. Seems like Crank kept up just fine.

So you answered my question, clarifying my point, then asked why I'm "argumentative".
Awesome
Well stated. Anyone who is rude to posters b/c they find them rude about a player (in their opinion) is hypocritical.
It's simply unnecessary and that person loses all moral high ground. And, it's not as though you (or most others) are criticizing the human being. It's a critique of their game - that may have some legitimacy. And, it's not as though they are ridiculing the player in front of their teammates.
