DeSmetBilliken Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It could just be McKissic not coming here, but if my read on Carter in the past is true, I think it could be way bigger than McKissic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brianstl Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 McKissic was supposed to talk to Self and the rest of KU’s staff at 3. So the timing would lead me to believe that McKissic is likely to commit to KU. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
majerus mojo Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Carter also had the take that we shouldn't even be after McKissic because he played in the Summit. Meanwhile, he's now taking Zoom calls with Bill Self. Can't imagine what he thought when we grabbed Perkins from SWIC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Carter is a young guy who is still learning college basketball and how best to cover a sports team. I’m sure anyone in his position would make slip-ups. Even when he says things I disagree with, I still feel lucky to have someone who seems to truly enjoy covering Billiken basketball BuiltFordBills, Gremio14, slufanskip and 3 others like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope he learns from this slip-up and doesn't do it again because no doubt whoever likes to give him information will not like this speculation.

The Valley Sucks Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 Didn’t everyone already assume he was getting an offer from KU? This isn’t bad news for Billiken fans, he isn’t going to risk not having a chance to play in the tournament Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NH Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 It adds up that he might be committing to KU based on this timeline: Kansas is recruiting multiple grad transfer guards and probably wants an answer from one of them soon, Coach 314 says McKissic may not have as much time as he originally thought to make a decision, Self meets with and offers McKissic, Carter says we may hear bad news. If that is the case and he does end up going to Kansas, good for him and hope he is able to make a difference there. Working your butt off for 4 years at a low-major and earning a chance at a power program isn't the worst story in college basketball these days.

3star_recruit Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 I'm sure that he would disagree with this take, but I think Carter is being passive aggressive about McKissic because he was so far off in his original assessment of his recruitment. First McKissic is just another guy and now his receiving an offer from Kansas is not so encouraging news for Billiken Nation. If he's going to do this for every recruit, this will be a looong offseasson. Being a sports media guy on twitter is a big responsibility. Herm Edwards gave some advice on thoughtful social media usage to athletes years ago but media folks could also learn something from him: NH likes this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JettFlight5 Posted March 24, 2021 Share Posted March 24, 2021 This is going to be a looooooooooong offseason... Travis Ford is in a weird spot with recruiting. When he inherited the dumpster fire from before, he had playing time (the most important legal commodity in the game) in spades and no expectations because of..well, you know. Now, he really doesn't have the ability to offer a ton of PT to each kid without running off guys that he recruited. Also, he is recruiting to a team that just played in the NIT, which I think would be used against him on the trail as well. With higher expectations come more disappointment...but in one sense, I'll take that trade to avoid what Travis Ford walked into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
