What is the proper basketball analogue for JD? I need to make sense of this
Michael Jordan
JD is that dude.
@KirkIsMyHinrich I'd prefer a touchdown tbh
Hawks
Not a kid KU is recruiting but I like Jalil Bethea a lot. Currently not rated on most sites but that will change.
Yards per play
Chiefs 5.9
Chargers 5.4
Chargers did run a lot more plays of course.
Lol Hillcrest, forget about it.
@RockkChalkk Too soon. If the staff has their way, Elmarko/Mikey but either one will be a tough pull.
Maybe one of McDowell/Cooper.
@Kcmatt7 said in Game day - Week 1 vs. Cards:
Herbert is a stud. So likable. Wish he played in the NFC
He is, which really makes it amazing that he is 16-18.
Mahomes, in contrast, is 60-16.
Won't be for lack of want or numbers with Elmarko. Hope they get him.
D was fine and is young. Far from bad. I would call that performance "average".
Fun game. Mahomes really spread the ball around.
@stoptheflop As @mayjay outlined, going down is strictly correct. I'm all about players having fun but I understand why the coaches wanted him to just go down.
@FarmerJayhawk If Jalon continues to play at the level he did at the end of last year and into the start of this year this is team is finding another 2 wins for sure. Outside shot at a bowl but I wouldn't bet on it. Showing progress either way. Better than I thought.
Road win in the league...those have been rare.
OHHHHYEAAAAHHHHH
@BeddieKU23 Norvell can coach man. Whew.
McDowell announcing on the 24th. Would be very surprised if it's Kansas.
@justanotherfan I think he will start for sure just going off of how much guys played before. He was getting real minutes for VT. A good defensive piece.
Per the Slant, Evans plans to visit KU, TCU, Minnesota and San Diego State. Bizarre mix.
@approxinfinity Lagerald vibes in general here. He wants to visit Kansas, no offer yet.
@justanotherfan I look at you listing N'Guessan and Massoud as starters and realize just how spoiled Kansas fans have been. Because you are right, but they are not good starters to have.
Where did you get N'Guessan starting before though? He had 0 starts at VT according to sports reference: https://www.sports-reference.com/cbb/players/david-nguessan-1.html ↗
The biggest thing KSU did was they got athletes and some size. That goes a long way. League will be an absolute blood bath for them imo though.
@justanotherfan If KState wins 6+ games in conference play I'll be impressed. I do think it's possible, if the coaching is good.
Elmarko Jackson and Kaden Cooper are names I'd watch.

@BShark I always thought Tang was the brains behind Baylor, after last year I think Adams is pretty dang close too. I had no idea, he was so unassuming to me. My only thing with him is that he subs to much. Wonder where Bruce is? I did hear Remy is going to try out for the G league.
Would not compare Tang/Drew to Adams/Beard. Tang is just a recruiter. Everyone had been saying Adams was the brains. No one says that about Tang.
@FarmerJayhawk Some near triple digit jumps on a couple of these guys and Elmarko unsurprisingly into the top 20.
Not sure KU is the favorite to land any of these guys though.
@justanotherfan Agree. We saw they were not able to hold on to Pack who took more money to go to Miami.
The big thing we need to see is how Tang is as a coach. It's interesting that he is just now getting a chance.

FYI Yates set an official to Texas
We are officially not in this one not sure if you saw.
@drgnslayr said in Joe Dooley:
What exactly is a recruiting coordinator? An assistant coach? Recruiting players directly?
Bill getting an old friend more checks, having more coaches around there are lots of ways to view it.
Don't think he will be recruiting players directly but there are schools cough Texas with recruiters in non-ast coach positions.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:
Evans is definitely a take. You figure out the numbers later. He’s got a lot of Withey to him
I think Minny or TCU are better choices for him to get immediate PT.

If Self really wants this kid there shouldn't be any issue getting this 7'2 behemoth here
Agree but not convinced that we will put the hammer down here.
His ranking seems to be heavily based on potential down the line. There's certainly intrigue and his size/athleticism/defensive ability stick out but I do agree there seems to be a bit of treading water here from us. And I think with who's also involved in his recruitment (lack of other blue bloods) or high level P5 schools we can assume enough.
I have some intel on this one. I don't want to use aggressive terms with it but yeah, one side is more interested than the other.
We are loaded down low. If we were to take him, then I don't think all our current guys would be staying. Zach is really good, but everyone will see that soon enough.

@BeddieKU23 My most wanted in terms of guards/wings we are in on.
@FarmerJayhawk Bill telling them they can play right away. Wink wink. :goat:
I'd look at CJ's other team mate, Jamari McDowell.
KU hasn't even contacted Yates, reportedly.
Made his cut to 4 along with the expected 3 of Wake, A&M and Xavier.
@BeddieKU23 Correct. KU had no shot.
@TYOHawk said in 2023 Recruiting:
Article on 247 this morning mentioned Gertrude being very similar to Jaden Ivey when Ivey was a prep prospect. I’m intrigued…
Watched some youtube and he is intriguing. Athleticism and length are there for sure.
I do not believe Gertrude is a KU level recruit. I think we will see kids that leave KU on their list even if they can't commit due to the shine of winning the title.
@BeddieKU23 said in Coach Howard:
Snacks is no longer with Texas.. what a fall from the top
Going to become an agent probably. Related to the investigation.
Bossi mentioned on 247 that Case was instrumental here. Called him one of the hardest working and well prepared assistants in the country.
Birth control is absolutely a human right. It's also mentioned in religious texts, if you care about such things.
Now, ideally people would use birth control, have the abortion very early etc but life isn't always ideal.
@BeddieKU23 A buddy of mine and I use the term "fast ****er". It started in Marcus Garrett's SR season when the team didn't have enough of them and we were really missing Dotson. CJ is definitely a ff.
Stop telling women what to do with their bodies. This was about basic human rights. No one should be forced to carry a pregnancy to term. There are many reasons. Please do not say "just don't have sex".
