There is no way Bill Self will leave a recruiting hot bed like Kansas for a middle of the pack school like Oklahoma State. The fact that Bill Self beat Roy Williams to get to the championship is going to leave such a satisfied taste for the school that they are sure to match or better any offer thrown at Self.

IMHO - Bill Self would be crazy to leave Kansas for Oklahoma State.

Look what it took for the last KU coach to leave - an opening at UNC.

I think the only reason he is considering it is because Oklahoma State is his alma matter.

I don't even think he is considering it - I think Oklahoma State is considering because of the fact he is an alum. If Self wasn't an Alum Oklahoma State wouldn't even through the offer out there because they know there would be absolutely no leverage for them.

speaking of the '07-08 season - how happy do you think Micah Downs is right now?

Good call Roops. Well:

He came to Gonzaga to be a starter, etc. yet doesn't sees the court in the 2nd half against Davidson. Ends up being 8th or 9th man for most of the season in the West Coast Conference. Could have been 8th or 9th man on Kansas and have a National Championship ring on his finger...

I don't think he feels too good right about now...

U know, i dont see Bill Self taking the OSU job either, but stranger things have happened and u know OSU is going to continue to throw all kinds of money at him, even if Kansas matches, and money talks. $4Million a year? some NBA coaches dont get that kind of money, and it is almost triple what he is making now. That OSU Alum will not hold any punches trying to get Bill Self there. But i think kansas steps up and keeps him no matter what.. Why wouldnt they keep him. He has a great program now and it will only get better after this championship
