Are we done recruiting? • Oct 22, 2017 01:41 AM

@jayballer54 Looks like KU will recruit him until he eliminates KU or commits.

Border War to start back up?? • Oct 22, 2017 01:40 AM

It's not that far yet in my situation but I also know it's going to happen it's just a matter of when. :(

@JayHawkFanToo That's tough man. I empathize with you as my dad is starting to lose his mind a bit as well.

:heart:

Another rant against Fox and MLB • Oct 22, 2017 12:30 AM

@approxinfinity 81 games compared to less than 10. Assuming no playoffs counted for that Yankees stat.

The Wildcats • Oct 22, 2017 12:17 AM

Getting it done at 3-4? Ok.

@jayballer54 Hurt is a 2019 recruit. Can't take officials yet so time still hasn't come for his official visits. KU is still recruiting him. Good connections in the area. Staff wants him, JRE and Chandler but can they pull all three? Hard to say but I'd bet no. If I had to bet I'd say Chandler and JRE are Hawks, Hurt goes elsewhere. Hurt is the best player of the three though.

Baseball is now a niche sport I say this as a lifelong baseball fan that was going to Royals games back when George Brett was still on the team.

Maybe he should rewatch his HS game last year where he lost to Garrett. :grinning:

This is another Kentucky team that will have issues shooting the ball. Gonna have to get it done on D.

WVU lost a player due to grades. First semester only for now...

Let's see if OU can even finish in the top half of the league. LOL

Chorfs • Oct 21, 2017 04:36 PM

@kjayhawks I think Smith is the correct choice for this team but you gotta try to draft QBs to try and find a franchise guy.

Chorfs • Oct 21, 2017 12:55 PM

@dylans You are preaching to the choir. I don't know if Mahomes is the answer but when the Chiefs drafted him I was ecstatic.

THE TEAMS THAT WON"T MAKE THE TOURNAMENT • Oct 21, 2017 12:41 AM

ISU will be better than people think. Prohm is a good coach. I bet they make the tournament.

Chorfs • Oct 21, 2017 12:39 AM

I've been an Alex detractor but he was absolutely NOT to blame for the Raiders loss.

@wissox If Missouri basketball were the best of the local programs @jayballer54 would be a tigerboard regular. :juggling_tone4: :wink:

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 21, 2017 12:34 AM

Can't imagine you could finish a game with 2GB but maybe I'm wrong. Either way, 10GB for free and not super shady is nice so I'll give it a shot and see how much data a game takes.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 20, 2017 10:22 PM

@Kcmatt7 Free to join with a valid email. Free accounts get 10GB per month so you'll tank that super fast. I'm not sure how much data streaming one full game would take up.

Doomsayers believe a huge alien world called Nibiru or Planet X is hurtling through space towards us – and will hit tomorrow.

LMAO

Border War to start back up?? • Oct 20, 2017 04:25 PM

I'm not buying it either and I have donated to hurricane relief. I'll listen on the radio.

Post DD Day Commitment Recruiting Thread • Oct 20, 2017 03:55 PM

Poster on the Phog did her ladies night recap.

Some cool stuff about previous recruits and such.

Highlights: Charlie Moore called Self after he decided to transfer and said he'd like to come to KU. Self didn't even finish his pitch with the Lawsons when he visited in Memphis before they said "we're in coach".

Also they said they don't give conditional offers. I find this hard to believe. Like could Dontarius James commit today w/o Zion? Probably not. :shrug:

Tyler Herro • Oct 20, 2017 03:42 PM

@BeddieKU23 True. Also of note he still isn't confident enough to take UK in the CB. You know...funny thing... UK people think KU leads and it's UK or KU. Marquette people think KU leads and it's Marquette or KU. Texas people think KU leads.

I'm sensing a theme...

Tyler Herro • Oct 20, 2017 02:49 PM

@BeddieKU23 That UK degree has not helped his math skills apparently.

Post DD Day Commitment Recruiting Thread • Oct 20, 2017 02:48 PM

Apparently the staff is still recruiting Matt Hurt.

Hard to see KU getting JRE, Chandler AND Hurt.

CB's coming in for Herro to Kentucky

Twist! Grimes to KU, KJ to MD and this kid to UK. I'd take it. :smile:

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 20, 2017 02:11 AM

Google search for Hola. It's free last I knew.

Are we done recruiting? • Oct 20, 2017 02:10 AM

Would love a 4th year out of Vick and I hope it happens.

Tyler Herro • Oct 19, 2017 09:32 PM

Looks like he will be a Tarhole. Been in the works for awhile and it seems like he wanted the scandal stuff to clear up before decommitting from Wiscy.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 09:18 PM

Sling is also solid yep.

Big 12 Preseason Powellll • Oct 19, 2017 08:16 PM

@Lulufulu You can't vote for your own team so Self def voted for WVU.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 08:16 PM

Yeah it's what I use. I gotta proxy for the blackout stuff though since I'm in KS. Lol

Big 12 Preseason Powellll • Oct 19, 2017 07:21 PM

ISU 9th is a joke. I'd bet 6-7 for them. Prohm is a good coach. Actually might be my favourite coach in the league that isn't Self.

People forgot who is coaching them.

USA Today Coaches Poll • Oct 19, 2017 06:34 PM

I would for sure put Duke and MSU ahead of us so I don't think it's wrong. If AZ didn't have THE CLOUD hanging over them + an injury I'd consider them as well. KU and UK def top 5 tho.

Are we done recruiting? • Oct 19, 2017 06:32 PM

@JayHawkFanToo Yeah I have no idea to be clear which is why I phrased it the way I did.

Big 12 Preseason Powellll • Oct 19, 2017 06:28 PM
  1. Kansas

  2. WVU

  3. TCU

  4. Texas

  5. Baylor

  6. OU

  7. Tech

  8. K-State

  9. Iowa State

  10. Oklahoma State

KU got all the first place votes except one (Self).

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 06:17 PM

@Lulufulu PSVue core plan is pretty good for $45 a month and it stays at that price unlike the companies that have intro rates.

Are we done recruiting? • Oct 19, 2017 03:45 PM

@JayHawkFanToo I do think Grimes + 2 random recruits that won't contribute next year is most likely. Let's say that happens while Newman, Preston and Vick go pro.

Guards: Dotson, Moore

Guard/Wing: Grimes, Garrett

Wing/small ball 4: KJ, Cunliffe

Forward: Dedric

Forward/C: SDS, Mitch

C: Doke, McCormack

Deep bench that won't play: said 2 random recruits one of KJ/Cunliffe probably.

Not as deep but still far down the bench: Mitch, other one of KJ/Cunliffe I would lean towards KJ here.

That still doesn't leave much for KJ/Cunliffe probably. I could also see Mitch taking a RS in this situation if he decides he wants to be around the program an extra year.

Are we done recruiting? • Oct 19, 2017 02:28 PM

@Kcmatt7 Not sure how serious of a target the cousin is. I think he ends up at UK. Solid point about KJ. Self seems to like him but if the staff lands all their top targets I'm not sure how he finds minutes.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 03:11 AM

@KUSTEVE If he shows out like this consistently and has a break out year I gotta imagine they raise his DK salary. Nice call tonight.

Tyler Herro • Oct 19, 2017 03:09 AM

@jayballer54 Grimes is a PG/CG this Herro kid is more like a wing in Self's system.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 01:24 AM

Oubre ballin out tonight.

Tyler Herro • Oct 19, 2017 01:07 AM

@jayballer54 Doesn't play the same position as Grimes...

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 19, 2017 12:43 AM

Yeah. Kieff is def a starter for them when healthy.

Tyler Herro • Oct 19, 2017 12:17 AM

Looks like KU is planning to visit him tomorrow.

Sixers vs Wizards On ESPN • Oct 18, 2017 11:23 PM

In case you want to watch Embiid and Oubre. Probably much more Embiid than Oubre.

Tyler Herro • Oct 18, 2017 08:59 PM

@BeddieKU23 Yeah. Have heard staff is selling Grimes on playing 1/2, and playing a lot. Grimes knows he has a spot at KU.

Tyler Herro • Oct 18, 2017 08:53 PM

@BeddieKU23 I'd read into how KU feels about Romeo if we become involved.
