Vick (KU) announces he is going pro
- Thread starter jflattery
- Start date
Professional career in what? Surely not basketball, right?
Langford is pretty optomistic, still think Indiana is the favorite.
Vick is pretty much a lock to be gone from the rumors. Considering the transfers who will be eligible it maybe better to just have those guys play and not lose time to them.
Self will get back to his preferred 90's style post based offence... Really isn't a knock, play to your strengths.
I think he is gone. Also think they have a very good chance to get Langford. Sounds like he will announce at the end of the month.
This is deeper than it seems at first blush. Looks to me like Self has had enough of Vick.

Lagerald Vick will forego his senior #kubball season to go pro. Bill Self: "I believe the time is right for him to move on, explore his options as a professional and see what develops."

The female population in Lawrence is having a good Friday
It seems like the Lawsons should be able to fully replace Vick's production as it pertains to off-court drama.
I'm sure everything will go off without a hitch.
They gotta get some help at guard or they'll end like Michigan State or Duke this year. Just not enough guard play to really be as good as they should have.

KU rarely has a season where they dont have to replace at least 50% of their scoring. Only once in recent years. We replaced 80% after '13 and 86% after '08.
These two in a far worse place given there situations.
