If there is punishment for the Preston situation I see no reason to support NCAA sports anymore
Leading scorer from East Tennessee St Bo Hodges is transferring. Would take, he was pretty darn good against KU last yr

I’m skimming it quick, and they have jack shit. They’ve never said shoe cos were boosters in any other case ever. They’re basically saying Gassnola perjured himself with no proof in pinning the violations on Self and Townsend. Even Mike Bray is like whoa there this is routine business you’re turning into L1 violations with no additional guidance telling us what we’re doing is wrong.
This was about as predictable as the sun coming up. The old man club must die
I sure hope they go at this with everything. I knew they will double down on their bull crap and it still angers me to no end that they actually think what they are saying is true. Sad organization

Bryce ends up #18. Gethro #146, Jossell #248. Tyon #2 Juco.
Some notable players KU recruited hard that moved up in the ranks.
Caleb Love ends at #6 going to UNC. KK Robinson moved up to #36, ended up at Arkansas.
Big-12 ended up with a dozen 4 star prospects, 4 of them 5 stars including the #1 player.
Bryce finishes as the 18th ranked prospect. Awesome job Bryce. We signed a stud.
Meyer's comments about his shooting are fitting.
Obviously the response from the NCAA will be a laugher. They will double down

Tamar Bates from Piper is transferring to IMG for next year.
Welp. We have seen that sandbox play out
Agree on Meetings. I hate them. Since Covid the amount of meetings I've had has decreased. We either do Zoom or Microsoft Teams now from our offices which is better then being stuck in a room with no where to go. I'm also guilty of not attending meetings I'm invited to just for the heck of it. If you need something from me and it takes an hour meeting to decide what a waste.
Congrats on getting the plants in the ground. What's next?
An abandoned Marble Quarry in Southern Vermont that is about 1 to 1 1/2 miles into a hike. You approach this cave and get inside and its amazing. Pictures I took didn't do it justice. That was one of the best hikes we've ever been on. A few of our other recent ones ended up finding some really cool waterfalls.
I forgot how good Season 4 was. That season is when you first start noticing how much more money HBO threw at the show. Tyrion was great in that season as well. The story he tells Jamie about Orson smashing the beetles was epic! We just got to the beginning of Season 5. It's amazing how much you forget even though before each new season we would watch the previous season to "catch up".
I laughed so hard at the line about your youngest. Thanks for that!
Thanks, we bought the house a few years ago so we've been hard at work making it the way we want it. All the floors in the house have been renovated to get rid of carpet. Paint on every wall is different. I've got a slew of other projects to do after painting get completed. I figured this was the perfect time to just get it all done before hopefully, a somewhat normal life can get back on track.
Sounds like you'll be busy with projects as well!
Big blow for Arizona St as Romello White transfers. Averaged 10 & 8 & 1 blk per game last season

He thinks hes kobe too
Lol at his coach comparing him to KD. Like stop
Wow. I'm not surprised he definitely tries to play offense like hes gods gift
He thinks hes kobe too
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Transfer List:
I’m kind of a broken record but if we have a spot the Sarr kid from Wake is really intriguing. Watched him a lot in the ACC and he can really play. Gained like 30 pounds before last season and went nuts.
He was awesome in some games last yr. Agree would take in a heartbeat
Terrible spot to move up

Little late as it now makes 7 guys going pro. NC St signee Josh Hall is the latest.
I know a lot of people think the Top 15 guys might look into going pro early but 4 of the 7 so far are 4 star prospects that have now left. I don't think anyone inside the Top 100 or so recruits is safe anymore.
Hall is a strange case as well since he's draft eligible this year.
Good point.
Yes all while working full time still during this! Keeping busy. Hope you are as well

Yikes. Attrition at Wake Forest already commencing. A few weeks back they were over scholarships then Chaundee Brown left. Now with Manning gone they have 9 bodies right now after their best player Oliver Sarr- 7 footer who averaged 13 & 9 last season has decided to transfer. According to him Manning convinced him to come back for his Sr year without testing the NBA draft and now his coach is fired and he's missed the deadline for entering the Draft..
In Sarr's words
I wanted to test the [NBA draft] waters," Sarr told ESPN on Thursday night. "I requested the UAC [Undergraduate Advisory Committee]. I tried to test the waters, then I had a conversation with Coach and he convinced me to stay and get my degree. He had plans for me, I was going to do great things in the ACC, with the team and individually, of course. It was late April, Coach was going to stay. Then, 24-48 hours before the [draft] deadline, Coach got fired. I didn't get the chance to put my name in and change my mind."
"It's actually a tough decision," Sarr said. "I want to give Wake Forest a chance and listen to what he has to say. I'm entering the transfer portal because I want to listen to all the options. I want to be able to pick my own coach, not have one chosen for me."
At first we redid our kitchen floors. Then I started painting all the trim in the house. That task is still on-going. Painted the walls going downstairs. Will paint the stairs soon. The weather has been a complete mess in the northeast so we started yard work but then had to stop. Started getting the grill and all spring summer stuff out but then the weather would take a complete crap on us. Been hard at work getting our 3 year old potty trained. He was real hit and miss when our schedules were normal but I had a week off recently and that really kicked in better habits. I think he's on his way now. My other half started her garden inside since it was still too cold to plant outside. She's hoping to transfer most of it coming up since it looks like winter will finally leave us. The last 3 weeks or so we've gone hiking every weekend. We've had to find trails that were toddler friendly but getting out in nature has been refreshing and he's enjoyed it. Last week we found an abandoned marble quarry hidden in a cave. That was fantastic. We hope to Kayak soon as well weather permitting. We started re-watching Game of Thrones from the beginning in our down time at night. Currently at the end of season 4 which was a fantastic season by the way. The end of that season has been exciting to re-watch again.
Mindhunter was fantastic. Upset the 3rd season looks toast after they released the cast from their contracts..
Part of that was he wasn't practicing to be the backup PG. Threw him into it out of necessity when injuries occured
His 2020 class of HS recruits is arguably his best. 1 five star and 2 4 star recruits. All to a place in Texas that's in the middle of no where. I think he's recruiting at a high level
Steve Forbes of East Tennessee St has landed the Wake Forest job. That's a good hire for them. Forbes was really good at ETSU.
Sucks for ETSU since Forbes signed 3 grad transfers and has 7 seniors on a team to make another tourney run they missed out on this past season.
Damn, Texas Tech landed VCU leading scorer Marcus Santos-Silva. That's a game changer for them..
The NCAA has passed this. However I fully expect them to F this up in execution.
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Transfer List:
WANT. Even if he has to sit we need to replace Marcus in 21-22. You’d like to have a non-Harris option, or you could start all 3 of Harris, F-L, and Bryce. Or play Bryce at point and start Braun at the 3.
Boom

Will be moving up a league/level no doubt.
Wow he's impressive. Heck of an athlete at 6'3 and defender. Shoots similar to Marcus..Would trade for Jossell anyday
Could not do it fast enough tbh but Self won't.
sam on the athletic thinks he's a draft prospect.
Tray Jackson ended up at Seton Hall
Honestly forgot we were targeting Salis. Not a sandbox we can play in.

sounds about right
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2020 Recruiting:
Mark Mitchell (c/o 22) is the next one. Don’t think he ends up here though.
Do you think it's due to the underbelly of recruiting or KU'S lack of interest or lack of ability to compete with what's going on
5 star prospects from Kansas don't exactly grow on trees either
No Different then Myles Turner & Jarrett Allen before him
@Crimsonorblue22 said in 2020 Recruiting:
@BeddieKU23 Shaka always gets a star and then........
As if we've seen this movie play out before
Tyler Harris of Memphis transfers to Iowa St. Believe they were runner ups for him first time around.
Texas 8-10 conference record with a OAD.
Guess his buyout is 15 million in a pandemic. This is all kinds of stupid on multiple levels. That AD wont last
Come back to KU!!!
His evaluation sounded like dave
Always thought that was where he was going
@BShark said in Match ups set for the Big 12/Big East challenge for upcoming year:
Awesome. Mitch Ballock is gonna hit like 8 threes.
Over Under officially set at 8.
Will be the biggest motivating game of Mitch's career.
Update: Several people who had contact with the confirmed case have been quarantined and are being tested. One tested negative and has returned to work. Many are frustrated about transparency. The CDC deemed it low risk so immediate closure of the plant was not recommended. That is until all that had contact are tested and the results are in. Lots of frustrated people here. Anxiety is high.
Confirmed case at my work. Still open since the person was asymptomatic when tested and confirmed to have it. Let's just say panic has set in. We already have dozens of safety protocols in place so unless the entire plant is going on quarantine I don't know what else they can do to protect us at this point. People are not happy and many working here are of moderate to high risk. Will be interesting to see what happens
Perfect
They can hang a consecutive last place Banner. Would be fitting
