The les miles effect in recruiting • Dec 18, 2018 01:07 PM

HUGE GET.

What is the "buy games" category?

Basically, it's irrelevant to the Big 12. They should have just cut that from their criteria for P5 conferences.

A buy game is a game where one school pays another to play them once. The game is 99% of the time at the school of the payer.

Cole Mueller decommitted. Have to take it as a sign they have 15 better in mind.

Has to be the case. Seemed upset based on the tweet.

Oh and for those that care. Matthew Hurt took his 2nd official visit over the weekend to UNC as they beat Gonzaga. I'm sure that game had some impact on his recruitment to date. KU is supposed to get a visit in February but nothing has been set in stone either.

He doesn't seem too thrilled to visit KU tbh.

Hell, Wichita State has out recruited KSU in the KC metro.

Medical red shirt candidate? Dean’s not NBA material, so why not try for one?

Yeah, he'd be able to get one. Played less than 30% of their games.

Dean Wade Outski • Dec 17, 2018 12:34 PM

Rumors now that it might be a torn fascia which would mean he is done for the year.

@BShark didn’t they say they had put a pin or screws in there in hs?

Yes

The les miles effect in recruiting • Dec 17, 2018 01:47 AM

Just got a commitment from Naylor's team mate Andrew Parchment. Another WR.

The les miles effect in recruiting • Dec 16, 2018 09:16 PM

Added Ezra Naylor today. Big bodied JUCO WR. For w/e reason, the staff is going HARD after wrs, they must not like what is on the roster already.

WVU now 6-4. Could they be the worst team in the Big 12?

Stress fracture last season. Same foot.

Goes back to HS.

@Crimsonorblue22 Yup. Ole Brucie can't catch a break.

Dean Wade Outski • Dec 16, 2018 06:59 PM

Seems like his recurring foot injury was re-aggravated in their win against GA State. He's been on crutches since. Tough break for the kittens.

Wright deserved a tech imo.

These are normal games for Dedric actually he is amazing.

I am being cautiously optimistic here, but another poster on the Phog, who has some pretty solid connections, has also stated that good news regarding SDS should be coming within the next week or so. Fingers crossed.

@BShark I heard self say he couldn't pull his red shirt due to his stress fracture. Good memory, usually no one remembers what I say😳

I don't remember that being posted actually. I remember you asking me about it then not seeing anything else about it on here. However, I don't read every post obviously.

Goodbye... "Chop!" • Dec 16, 2018 12:11 AM

Wright is probably a better coach than Self, if we are being honest. Self had better players today. Also Self is still really dang good, Wright just might be the best coach at a high level school right now.

I'll be honest I find myself wishing Sam had stayed and Moore left.

Hard to see Agbaw ending up anywhere but KU...

Doesn't help a redshirt year. Hopefully hes back by spring

Should be fine. Not too severe but been an issue for a few weeks now.

Ochai Injury • Dec 15, 2018 09:41 PM

I know @Crimsonorblue22 was wondering about this. Don't recall seeing it mentioned yet.

Stress fracture in his leg. Would guess the lack of any coverage on it is due to the fact that he is redshirting.

New 2019 Recruiting • Dec 15, 2018 09:40 PM

You can declare for the draft and not get drafted. Happens a lot. Hopefully Grimes stays though.

@Big-Clyde52 I don't see conference being tough. Imo, I wouldn't be the least surprised if there are only two ranked B12 teams in the Top 25 by the end of conference. Who knows, though. It will be interesting to see how it plays out.

I'd bet on three ranked teams. Seems about right.

Can never have enough big bodies. Going to need some guys if we lose 3 bigs.

Beggars can't be choosers but I'd really prefer a springy forward that can defend the perimeter.

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 15, 2018 08:27 PM

@jayballer73 Sure is my man.

@Big-Clyde52 Understandable, I'm just not sure there is a great challenger to KU. Maybe ISU when they have all their guys but I do think Self is a better coach than Prohm.

@jayballer73 Look closer. Former KU hoops player nearby. :D

Big Clyde52 said:

@KUSTEVE Conference will be a bear. And this team is not as good as last years team. If DLawson or Vick has an off game, we are very beatable by quite a few teams.

I can not express my disappointment in Q and Charlie enough. I am in hopes that one or both will come around and live up to the hype. Plus if Doke gets back and becomes a force, we may just have a special season. Right now is helter skelter and just getting by.

You are impressed with the B12? I'm definitely not. Not saying KU coasts to wins a bunch by any means but...

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 15, 2018 07:47 PM

@jayballer73 Jay Wright schemed to stop Dedric. He's a pretty good coach. Could tell he wasn't thrilled with how his team executed it though.

@BShark I know I was rude to you earlier, but I'm glad you're still 0 for the season in picking KU games.

Is this just a reverse psychology play at this point @BShark ?

Well, I did predict wins for KU vs plenty of teams this year. Though notably thought Wofford would be a much tougher game.

I shouldn't have thrown in the swear. I edited it out earlier.

Phil Booth giving props to Self for how KU kept changing defensive looks.

Jay with respect in the post game. "This is the toughest place to play"

Knocking Off 'Nova • Dec 15, 2018 07:22 PM

@wissox Probably would have lost this one without Dedric. ;)

I know you meant Doke though of course.

I blame myself for that last lay-up by nova. Technically it was what I asked for here. ;)

Jay Wright was smart to start fouling so early obviously.
