Leo Criswell was from Piper in KCK. But I can't seem to find any information about him after he went to Kentucky. Wonder what ever happened to him.....bobbyhawks wrote: Actually, this brings up an interesting question...
Who are the best players to not play in-state from both Kansas and Missouri? It's not exactly the easiest thing to figure out, as I know very little off the top of my head.
People who are desperately trying to distract attention from another argument where they made a preoposterous statement they can't support.NDTeve wrote: Who cares where players are from?

Larry Drew is from KCKkcmetro wrote: Off the top of my head...
Lucius Allen (KCK) - UCLA
Maurice Evans (Wichita) - Texas
Korleone Young (Wichita) - drafted in NBA out of hs, then fizzled
Kris Weems (KCK) - Stanford
Earl Watson (KCK) - UCLA
Martin Lewis (Liberal) - played JUCO in KS, then drafted in 2nd round of '95 NBA draft
I remember seeing Kris Weems and Martin Lewis play in the 5A State Tourney in '93. There were some great players in KS that year.
He was asking about players from KS & MO who didn't play for either KU or MU.Highlander wrote: Larry Drew is from KCK
Darnell Valentine is from Wichita
Then add Jon Koncak to that list. Went to Center, played for SMU and then the Atlanta Hawks.kcmetro wrote: He was asking about players from KS & MO who didn't play for either KU or MU.

First, Mizzou is actually going to hit some shots. Second, KSU isn't going to go insane from the 3 point line. Third, KSU isn't going to shoot the ball lights out in general.KCPowercat wrote: What is mu going to do different to avoid being run out of the gym like last time they met?
Good find!KCMax wrote: NBA Players who attended Kansas high schools
NBA Players who attended Missouri high schools (I had no idea Ryan Robertson played 1 game in the NBA. I also had no idea Norm Stewart played in the NBA!)
He may not make it to the pros but here is another kid from Johnson County putting up some pretty impressive numbers his freshman year at Tech. Good rebounder and nice inside scorer.bobbyhawks wrote: Good find!
I also forgot that two players from Shawnee Mission East in Kansas went to Oklahoma State around 1997-98, Michael Johnson (transferred to William and Mary) and Fred Jonzen, no relation, obviously.
ksu needs this win more than mu. it could give mu some good momentum going into their final few games, but it would help ksu in terms of beating a top 10 team, helps them as a bubble team. winning out with wins against ranked teams would really help their cause.KCPowercat wrote: Mu hit 10 of 19 3s for 53%. Really think you will hit higher than that?
Ksu did hit a good % of shots but breaking pressure will give you that...our two pg's certainly help break pressure.
Good luck tonight mu fans
If your the Wildcats, you certainly like to hope that some of the Missouri players might have been sitting around the first half of this week looking at the schedule and playing "what if" games about their chances against OU/KU/B12 championship rather than focusing on the Cats. KSU does have a couple of big guys that can play some above average defence against MU's quality front court, which I think is part of what makes them a tougher match up for MU than a lot of other B12 schools.kcdcchef wrote: ksu needs this win more than mu. it could give mu some good momentum going into their final few games, but it would help ksu in terms of beating a top 10 team, helps them as a bubble team. winning out with wins against ranked teams would really help their cause.
Even with KU coming up, Mizzou should be up for this game. They have two losses in the Big XII, one against Kstate, that's going to have a motivating effect. Kstate does provide a pretty good match up athletically but they really aren't as skilled at most positions except maybe at PG where Clemente is more of an offensive threat but Tiller and Taylor are better at taking care of the ball and potentially the two best defensive guards in the conference (Tiller most likely is the best defensive guard). MU has better depth.LenexatoKCMO wrote: If your the Wildcats, you certainly like to hope that some of the Missouri players might have been sitting around the first half of this week looking at the schedule and playing "what if" games about their chances against OU/KU/B12 championship rather than focusing on the Cats.
