They are required to have a certain number of ordinary students in the dorm. I don't think that was their original intention when they were talking about building it.
Moss commits to Kansas
- Thread starter QChawks
- Start date
The basketball dorms are a few years old now.

42.7% from 3 is statistically a sharpshooter, which is probably what Self noticed about Moss. JB only shot 38.8% but was more heavily guarded outside.
The thing about Moss is his limited ball-handling and limited court sense never allowed his athleticism to consistently shine, just tantalize occasionally.
Very well said. A look at Isaiah's game log is pretty strong evidence of what most of us are saying, he was a streaky player with outstanding highs and abysmal lows at Iowa last season.

Isaiah's loss was disproportionate to his ability/reliability as a player. At the time of his transfer Iowa was left with four (five if you count Joey W) guards on the roster and expected to play next season (assuming no Jordan). That was a critical situation, almost like the year we had true freshmen Cully Payne as our starter point guard and L'il Lick as the only reserve at the position.
Hence, the signing is also disproportionally important relative to the quality of player signed. Isaiah might be a better player and CJF might be better yet but an empty roster spot can do nothing but hurt.

I think this is the right take. All KU needed was someone to spot up and hit outside shots. We have slashers, and we have arguably the best set of big men in the country, what we didn't have was anyone who could make an open 3 in 5,000 tries. Moss will be asked to play D, and hit shots created by a driving Dotson or kick out from one of the bigs. (I imagine he'll be a 6 or 7 man.)
I will admit I didn't watch more than a game or two of Iowa last year (I am a KU fan), but from Moss's perspective, he gets to go to a program with a higher ceiling, more air play, and all he's asked to do is the one thing he is good at (shoot). Iowa could have a great year, but he would have been asked to do more, which would have exposed his deficiencies (dribbling). Can totally understand being pissed at him from an Iowa fans perspective, but I see his view too.
The following is the actual rule.
"A graduate student who is enrolled in a graduate or professional school of an institution other than the institution from which he or she previously received a baccalaureate degree may participate in intercollegiate athletics if he or she fulfills the conditions of the one-time transfer exception set forth in Bylaw 14.5.5.2.10 and has eligibility remaining per Bylaw 12.8. "
Assuming this language is interpreted like a statute the requirement of a previous reception of a Bachelor of something is a necessary condition of additional eligibility. There appear to be two critical elements: (1) a Bachelor of something; and (2) enrollment in a graduate or professional school. These elements exclude Isaiah's enrollment in a joint BA/MA program insofar as it doesn't satisfy element 1.
So no "B" after the name means Isaiah will need to speak Arabic or Japanese for his future professional career.

Gotcha. The no diploma story seems a little unlikely....just covering the bases should it be true.
The kid got eligible and remained eligible for 8 consecutive semesters. No reason to expect anything other than a timely graduation. Want to be clear I do not believe rumors to the contrary are accurate. Hope it didn't come off that way.

Kansas is down this year because they have no 5 star recruits though they have former 5 stars on the team. Moss is there to fill a very specific role and thats it. But to say hes not good enough to be at Iowa but ends up at KU is simply ridiculous. KU was projected #3 preseason before Moss with the 31st best recruiting class.
Considering that no summer terms have ended, either he completed a bunch of online/correspondence credits or they are assuming.
Moss made 11 straight three pointers in one stretch this season. ..that is sharp shooting. He was much better when set up for a catch and shoot open look.
I wonder if he was simply looking for a place where he would get more of those kinds of shots.
JBo is just not that kind of pg.
Good luck at KU, Ike.

even that will be too much. I think this will boost his ego, but in the end, still stand by my recommendation that he should have gone to a mid major. He would receive tons of touches, shots and ability to standout against lesser competition.
'Higher ceiling?' As in higher likelihood of NCAA sanctions, because KU cheats and Iowa doesn't?
Adidas must of had a face to face with old man Moss and made him feel real comfortable with that Kansas choice!

I can see a reasonable argument either way for him choosing from : 1. Being "the man" at a mid major. OR 2. Going to a higher level p5 program with better chance for national publicity and proving strong supporting role skills.
Really not a surprise that he made the choice he did. His chances of playing in the NBA are remote at best. Having a good year as a solid role player at ku probably increase those slim chances over staying one more year at Iowa.

Seems like a really good fit for IM with their PG’s all he’d have to do is shoot and play decent D..
This is a quality take. Moss is going to be asked to do one thing most of the time and that is spot-up and shoot.
Clowns are used to taking it (70 percent loss rate) from KU.

I bet the only reason he went to Kansas is so he can throw the game and help Iowa win when they play Kansas in the national championship next year........
I wouldn't.
Pretty sure Fran didn't cut him from the team. He's a fine player but he's not Andrew Wiggins or whatever.
Then why the hell are you on this board? Go read a Randy Peterson blog you dork.

I don't think there are a lot of fans that are pissed with Moss for leaving, just a bit bewildered, especially with his original choice of Arkansas. Kansas makes more sense from the possibility to make some noise in the NCAA's standpoint, but given his penchant for disappearing entire games, you have to wonder just how productive he will be. That said, good luck to you Mr. Moss.
In my book, sharpshooters shoot better than 40% from 2-pt range.

Do you really think Adidas has to shell out $1 to convince Moss to consider KU after leaving Iowa. Come on bro
Kansas has made like 25 or so straight NCAA tournaments. They have been consecutively ranked in the top 25 like some ridiculous number of weeks.
No I don’t just thought it was funny with all the shoe scandals going on....
Moss was and is a good shooter. He just forgot that - a lot. He did come up big in a few rare moments, but he disappeared more often, way more often. When he was not playing, it wasn't because the coaches didn't like him, it was because he just didn't play well. But when he was on, he was on. Maybe he will become more consistent, more focused at Kansas. But I doubt it.
Whether or not Moss stayed at Iowa, I was looking forward to CJ playing because I just don't see him disappearing like Moss has. He appears to have more confidence as a redshirt freshman than Moss ever seemed to have.

Adidas has paid for a helluva lot of KU players. I doubt that Moss was one of them.
This is Moss’ calling. If he’s ever going to get paid professionally anywhere to play basketball it will be as a “3 and D” wing who can guard multiple positions. And that’s the role he will audition at Kansas. He can’t dribble and therefore he can’t play make for himself or others very well. Unfortunately, we don’t have the talent to let Moss play that role and we needed a stronger secondary ball handler at the shooting guard position.

Its not just about Bill Self's opinion, many folks were looking at it from IM's perspective. He may play in a final 4, but still predict he plays a diminished role which will not help him as much if he wants to play professionally.
