Shaq the entertainment.

Bobby is dealing with another nagging issue, this time a hamstring. I really don't think you can expect much from him with the amount of time he continues to miss. Hasn't been a full go in practices yet. Will be interesting to see if he suits up in the scrimmage.

No idea what recruits are coming just yet. I did see KU is interested in getting 2024 Big John Bol & 2025 5 star Mikel Brown on campus from Sunrise. I'd imagine the list will expand as we get closer

One recruit that I read will be there is Dennis Evans is suppose to visit for late night

@jayballer67

Didn't include him since he released a Top 2 without KU in it recently

oh ok , hadn't seen that - -so makes no sense for him to come here lol

@BeddieKU23

Super bummed out about Bobby. If he can stay healthy he will be a huge contributor.

KU is also officially out of the Bronny James sweepstakes, not that KU was going to sign him anyways, with Bronny signing an NIL deal with Nike.

Was just going to post. This is the new way Nike is going to pay players to end up at their schools.

That clearly is a booster situation, right? Thought that was still frowned upon.

Next to nothing has changed, deals are just sometimes public now.

ETA: More than anything some prices are going up, ESPECIALLY in football.

The NCAA has been neutered from doing anything about anything. All they can do is talk now

Only a booster situation when it involves KU and adidas, don't you know? The NCAA's swan song to the good ol' days.

So how does this work? Since Nike also contracts with schools... isn't Nike a "booster?"

Can an athlete sign a NIL with Nike while going to an Adidas school?

Talk about stench!

Didn't we have to admit Adidas was a booster in our allegation case?

@drgnslayr said in Late Night:

Correct our previous AD did so in the De Sousa eligibility case as a hypothetical to getting his eligibility restored. It was later used in the NOA against KU

Anyone know if late pm is on espn+ ?

@BeddieKU23

So correct me if I'm wrong... Then isn't Nike a booster and we still have recruiting violations today, even with NIL acceptability?

Isn't the BIG NEWS from our case the pressure by NCAA to make a shoe company's status "booster?"

@drgnslayr

Technically every school with a shoe sponsor is guilty of it (and has been for decades).

Yes, the NCAA wanted to prove Adidas was a booster to the KU program.

So much has changed since the original NOA.

Nike just announced signing HS players to NIL deals. Kids don't even have to pick a program to get paid now!

pretty sure it is- -- has been every other time , wouldn't know why not

Looks like the only viewing of Late Night is on the Kansas Jayhawks phone app. I don't watch my phone like a tv. F-it!

What is this world coming to?

We’re a football school now

Nothing happens on the app. I thought we would see everything but when they introduced Shaq it went to music .......
I subscribed to ESPN+ just to be able to see this and now we don't get the show but they raised the price of the subscription 🤬

Well at least you got the App dam I couldn't even get that- -not sure why the hell they took it off ESPN plus after all these years

I hear you buddy - - - total bullshit

Crapa. nada on ESPN+.

@RockChalkinTexas

Yep... It's a lot more technical to slap it on a website/app versus tv. TV is built for live events streaming to big numbers. I don't expect anything showing up there... perhaps some highlights later. There should be some clips showing up on kusports.com later tonight or tomorrow.

Maybe next year there will exist ESPN++ (pay triple price) that will include Late Night again. Some kind of raping and blame it on gas prices.

I apologize... I'm not a happy camper after having years of watching Late Night.

Now it only shows the top quarter of screen!
I'm with you @drgnslayr

Horrible decision, hopefully there is enough backlash that they don't go app only again.

I quit. Only can see top of heads and no way to enlarge screen. Sucks too because I love this tradition I've done for so many decades.

Pro tip: you can AirPlay from a phone to a streaming stick

ya I don't get it - - WHY ? - - I'm sure we are not the only ones that don't really like the decision with this

Your not the only one buddy. I hadan't missed a single late night - - -from late night one till now either going or watching - wonder what they were smoking when they made this kind of decision

I AirPlayed it to tv for girls game, very clear.

KJ, McCullar, and Juan looked terrific.

Two students get half court money. Mario made it for the lady. The guy shot it himself! Happy for them!

how did you manage to end up getting the app to work

@jayballer67 it works great on my old iPhone. Then I airplayed it to my Roku stick. Full HD and almost no buffering.

Bless !E19E27E5-F09B-41AE-BC3F-27D13F8AE0FC.jpeg ↗

how was Shaq?

@rockchalkjayhawk they stopped before that. Can't show that. I didn't see dick do much. I think he needs structure. Some sloppy stuff. Bigs didn't look to bad. Looks like kj has worked on his handles, some nice drives to basket. Hard to tell.

KJ will be our energizer bunny! (although that doesn't sound too manly)

Well I finally went to TOS and there was a poster that shared the link. - -Got there just in time to see them unfold the new Banner but that was it , it's ok that was probably the biggest happings anyways lol

Shaq

I managed to get the app to partially work then airplay it to TV. Could only see little bits. Made me feel like I was doing something illegal, like a peeping tom to my old alma mater.

These things are always worthless but Zuby looks like a dude.

My thoughts too. He looked like someone that has to play if this team is going to raise its ceiling

Holy smokes he looks like he will be a monster. Definitely more game ready than Udeh.

All we had been hearing was about Udeh - -a lot more then Zuby, so you think /saying Zuby more ready prepared then Udeh ? -Thats not neccessarily a bad thing

Think they might play Jank some? 3-3 from 3

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Late Night:

Self said he was the best shooter on the team and Gradey is maybe 2nd.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Late Night:

In a real game situation? Never.

@BShark yes in real game! Kinda like j Cole. I know J Cole is better overall. I know nothing about jank's overall game. But maybe in a zone?

Gradey was a lil floppy not smooth.

Tcu won, glad about that.

@Crimsonorblue22 no

@BShark lol! Never! Nada! I knew you'd say that🤣

OK, i admit i'm a bit suspicious by nature, but this has me really wondering if there's something going on behind the scenes.
Some kind of punishment? self imposed or not.
Not having official visitors on a huge recruiting night just doesn't feel right.
Talk me off the ledge! :)

Late Night's lack of official visitors by design, Kansas coach Bill Self says
“The reason why we didn’t have (official visitors) here is because we’ve just basically got our guys committed,” Self said Friday. “We made a conscious effort this year to bring in the ones that we really wanted early and not wait for this because there’s no guarantee they’ll last.”

@rockchalkjayhawk

I wouldn't be surprised if this was part of the agreed upon early penalties that cannot be talked about since the case is still ongoing. They have always had visitors even if it was just a few.

Imagine not showing recruits your national championship banner etc and not having those same recruits see Shaq DJ the entertainment. Call me Flippin crazy because it doesn't make sense

Nope. makes no sense.

@BeddieKU23 there were a bunch of 24 and 25 kids there. Honestly I’m not sure which 23 guys would’ve even been candidates to come officially.

Thought this was worth reposting.....Dooley!:

Confirmed Official Visits were off this year due to self-imposed sanctions.

Ya a lot of people was really curious why no official visitors - that's a huge selling point for us- - makes sense now

Well then…

Sucks to be suspicious, then your suspicions come true!

I knew something was up. Bummer.
