Our screens are CRAP too. KJ has never been good at that though. Also not trying to pile on but KJ has been horrid defensively on the perimeter. Parker STINKS. Elmarko is fast.

Self is probably thrilled to get this on tape. So much to work on defensively.

@stoptheflop Think you may end up disappointed by how Self handles this "game". We will have to see but I can't imagine him handling it like a real game with tight rotations.
Oh, I won't be disappointed no matter how Coach chooses the lineups. I really enjoy the start of the season. I will miss playing a small Kansas college this year.
We still do one of those.

@BeddieKU23 I forgot to add Jank in that group smh

I don't think Coach is going to treat this game as an exhibition game; going for the Illini throats. I fully expect all the majority minutes will go to the starting lineup throughout and no weird, experimental, let's see what happens lineups. With Kentucky on Nov 14 and Maui starting Nov 20, this preseason No 1 team must be in mid-season form immediately. RC
Personally I can't wait for the inevitable Jamari/Zach/Parker line-up today. :)
HAWKS!
Kentucky was up by 1 at halftime against an NAIA school tonight. Ended up winning by 23.

I'm a Bean fan.
I'm not. Chokes in crunch time, horrible decision maker.
ETA: He is a fine back-up and certainly at KU we are fortunate to have a back-up of that caliber. Just wish JD6 could get healthy.

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Chiefs signings:
And with Bolton out, does that open the door for Frank Clark?
Different position.
Yea, we seem to be deep at LB, so thought it opened up a roster spot.
Chiefs are deep enough at pass rusher that I don't really think they should bother with Clark. I think he is worse than just about everyone else at the roster for that.
This Chiefs team could end up being historically good.
For those without twitter
Kansas City Chiefs are the first team to be top 5 in all three phases as of Week 7 since the 1999 Rams!
No 4 offense
No 5 defense
No 2 special teams
Others: 1984 Redskins, 1985 Bears, 1990 Giants, 1991 Redskins, 1996 Packers.
Every one of those teams except the 84 Redskins won the superbowl.
Good team win today. D really stepped up huge in the 2nd half.

Was Passmores commitment predicated on getting past IARP decision?
No, he committed Friday 3 hours into the visit.
If BShark says it..then it happened lol.
Didn't tell Self until later but was decided then around 11am CST. I won't have a connection this good on most recruitments lol.
At this point I’m starting to think you work with Team Thad or Combine academy lol.
DM'd you but no to both.

Sounds sooo fake. I can’t find any other reference.
Seemed real enough, I just hadn't checked after I saw he signed with them. He was already removed from their team roster page.

@rockchalkjayhawk Great work over all. But Marcus Garrett is now signed with mhp riesen ludwigsburg in Germany.

I imagine things will be pretty private until Passmore announces on Wednesday.
KU staff is pretty good about this.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 49ers/Chiefs: would you rather:
@BShark not an Andy fan?
He had me annoyed today but I really do think Shanahan is perhaps the best in the league. Love that offensive system.
I'd swap head coaches with them fwiw
@Crimsonorblue22 said in This and that from a KU victory:
@BShark big help to Bean getting snaps during the week, can't figure why he hasn't been getting them all along. Are they trying to save Bean's backups? Did u go to game?
He was but you can't have both QBs practicing with the other starters. There isn't enough practice time to do that.
Biggest key for the defense is sustained drives by the offense. Seems like a duh thing, but they did just get gassed by the end of the Texas game because we couldn't sustain drives. Much better gameplan for Bean this week since it was focused on him.
fun game

Billy Richmond, 4* at Late night?
Nope, false report from Jamie Shaw.
@TYOHawk said in 2024 Recruiting:
Passmore deciding next Wednesday I believe on 247 sports.
Correct. :)
Flagg is no longer visiting Kansas. Rakease gets in for his visit tomorrow. Flory and Philon will also be there.
Coaches had been asking for this. They wanted 30 days for basketball.
Juan and Marko will be fine.
@kuballin10 said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:
@approxinfinity From what I saw in Puerto Rico if our offense flows through Kevin or he’s trying to go 1 on 1 things won’t end well
Play through Hunter and KJ - let them create
Don't know about playing through KJ that sounds like a disaster.
Biggest key for Kevin is staying healthy...which he has never been able to do across an entire season.
@kuballin10 said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:
Murrell or Mgbako would be great right now….
Well, Mgbako or Kevin I know who I'm taking every time.
In part we were choosing not to fill the roster due to the self imposed reductions. The Terio thing obviously hurts a lot but we are still preseason top 5 (and #1 in some places) without him. Wish we would have been able to snag Murrell but that's in the past. We move on, we ball.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Off-season starting lineup ever changing thread:
@Gorilla72 thinking redshirt, but break glass in case of emergency guy there
Need another real practice body for sure.
@Gorilla72 said in 2024 Recruiting:
@BShark - won’t take the KU visit?
Now that it's out yes. I posted too soon and didn't want to have this wrong. Looks like the floodgates opened on it.
@kuballin10 Not sure he even takes the visit
I am not expecting him to play vs UCF

Flory and Passmore both gotta be top 10 athletes in this class
Agree. Passmore has a 46'' vertical. He also had an insane dunk on Flory in AAU.
For anyone who hasn’t seen the Flory dunk..it’s the first one in the video below
I actually just snipped video and converted that part to a gif for twitter
