Had a good thing going at K-state..

I like Frank Martin a lot as a coach. Some people are turned off by his style, but I love his intensity and passion for the game. South Carolina seems like an odd career jump, but I still think he finds success.

Anybody think Altman takes a late run at 4*/7' C Robert Upshaw? He never signed an LOI with K-State, and with no intention to follow Martin to S.Carolina, he sounds wide open, right now.

"As opposed to signing a binding national letter of intent -- common practice for high school recruits -- Upshaw followed Mom's caution and signed an athletic aid agreement."

"That bound Kansas State to provide him with a scholarship while freeing him all along to change his mind and go elsewhere without losing a year of eligibility, per NCAA rules."

"Kansas State appears to have lost its top basketball recruit."

"Robert Upshaw, a 7-foot, 275-pound center from Fresno, Calif., and the 43rd-ranked player in Rivals.com’s rankings of the class of 2012, has decided to reopen his recruitment."

"Members of his family told Dave Telep, a reporter who covers recruiting for ESPN, that Upshaw probably will make a new decision in April but that he will not re-sign with K-State nor will he follow former K-State coach Frank Martin to South Carolina."

Martin is a side show freak. I don't know why any kid would want to play for a guy who acts like that on the court.

Interesting but until he says Oregon is in it, I'm not really counting on him to choose Oregon. It'd be nice if Oregon signed another post player, but getting some more backcourt help is what's needed for the class.
