@nuleafjhawk said in Coaching Carousel:

@mayjay It's embarrassing (to me, anyway). I cannot understand why we can't attract good coaches and good players. And, I'm of the belief that there is no coach anywhere that could come to KU and make a winning program with the players that we have. NOT talking about their heart or character - just their football ability. Is Urban Meyer going to turn this team around? NO. Vince Lombardi - NO. Whoever you think the best coaches of all time, at any level are - they can only coach players who can play with the big boys. And you have to have more than one or two. You have to have them stacked up 2 and 3 deep.

Sorry - sermon over. But I'm frustrated. I want us to be good at football too.

Re: the good players thing, I think you’ll be very happy with the class of 21. There are some doodz I’m pretty excited for. Between 20 and 21, it’s the most HS kids we’ve signed in a 2 year period as far back as I can find, so at least the Mason years.

19+ are signing early. Grays is my only maybe at this point. Lawrence is signing late. Also, might be a surprise later in the week...

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Which seniors should be brought back next season?:

Is Logan jr coming back?

Kenny’s just a sophomore. He’ll 100% be back. He and Prunty are close.

Robinson in the portal.

Huntley Hatfield is staying in 22. Really good from KU’s end. We’re obviously full of bigs for the foreseeable future.

@Woodrow said in Coaching Carousel:

Are we going to do this every off-season?

With Les’s age I suspect so. And there will always be a segment of our fanbase (not saying anyone on this board) that unless the coach performs an actual miracle like getting the 2020 Jayhawks to 4 wins or something, it’s time to blow it all up and start over. It’s one of the big problems with having a fanbase used to basketball where you can rebuild in a year.

Latrell out there looking like Sprewell

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:

I don't get as much info as I used to, but lock this one in.

ok, got a question Farmer. - -so if Cuffe commits for 2021, that gives us Curry, Clemence , KJ And Cuffe - -would end up being nice class. - -However wouldn't we be over the limit ? - someone getting squeezed out ? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Let me try to do the math...

In: Curry, Clemence, Cuffe, Adams
Out (or won’t count against the cap of 13): Silvio, Marcus, Mitch

So I think we’re 1 over with Cuffe? With the likelihood of immediate eligibility for transfers, someone will leave. I don’t see anyone going pro early off this team.

I don't get as much info as I used to, but lock this one in.

There’s some consternation behind the scenes with Les’s style. It’s a much tighter ship than Beaty ran (which is good). Add to that the KSU fueled rumors that he has dementia (which is wildly false), it wouldn’t surprise me if some are trying to will Les retiring into existence. As far as I know, Les intends on seeing the rebuild through and would only step down if there was a slam dunk replacement that could ensure some level of continuity out of respect for Long.

In spite of covid, Auburn is giving Gus Malzahn $21.5m to go away. Freeze? Whoever it is, you don’t fork out that kind of cash unless you have your man.

Lovie out at Illinois (can he come back to Chicago? Pls?) that’s a program that should be better than what it’s been.

Matt Wells looks like toast at Tech for some reason. Do they bring back Briles?

Sumlin out at Arizona after cratering that program. Sark?

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

Missouri might be the best team in the SEC this season as they also beat Oregon earlier as well.

Relegate the SEC to NAIA

Ugh

@jayballer67 said in 2021 Recruiting:

When is Cuff making his announcement ? - -If he re-classifies do we want this guy ?

The 19th and yes

I’ll take any WR, Hughes, Clark (as long as he’s at guard), Betts, Thomas, and I guess MacVittie. Though sounds like he’s ready to hang up the cleats.

@approxinfinity gosh I hope not. I think we could probably do additional cardiac screening for those who’ve been infected rather than canceling the season.

@stoptheflop said in KU Number 1 in All-Time Wins:

Did you miss it? Kentucky started the season with 1903 wins compared to KU's 1899. With KU 6-1 and Kentucky 1-3, for now KU has the most overall wins. KU has 1905 wins to UK's 1904. RC

I hate to be a downer, but those are the years each team started competition. Both teams are well over 2000 wins each.

🐦 View Tweet?s=19

Twitter is Twitter but maybe a reason Smith is a 21 option...

Was told they only really want Smith for 22. Would still expect Curry to end up at KU.

I concur. “Interest” can be a lot of things. Probably just want game tape and some verified measurements.

Ahh crap they play Okie Lite tomorrow. Hays would be fun.

@jayballer67 said in Omaha Game Thread:

Hanni and Gurley said heard they are looking for a last minute placement for Sunday game. I don't think that will happen but who knows

What’s Wichita up to?

@Bosthawk said in Omaha Game Thread:

I must say – it’s nice to have one of these no stress games where you get to watch everybody play... I’m sure we’re gonna have more than our fair share of stress games coming up

Next game was going to be like this but got canceled. :(

BILLY CLYDE

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Omaha Game Thread:

@DanR Arkansas is pretty much Southern Missouri.

The show Ozark has crazy color washing but I keep telling people that part of the country just looks that way

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Omaha Game Thread:

I'd like to hear Harris's story, know it's a sad one

I think part of it was him ending up living with the Braun’s?

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Omaha Game Thread:

I know Jimmy Dykes is an SEC guy, but can we get him for more KU games since he's pretty pro KU?

I was kind of dreading him but I was stunned to find out he grew up a KU fan

My God Tyon

Bill rolling out the 3 PG lineup

@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Omaha Game Thread:

Really excited to see next year's team with senior Mac, Curry, and the Lightfoot upgrade.

We’re going to destroy people and it’s going to be awesome

@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:

Heck of a pass from Jossell there

Super limited minutes but both times he has been in you can see why the staff was interested.

Right? I’m actually impressed with him. Might have found a gem

Ok now we see why Gethro only gets mop up minutes

Heck of a pass from Jossell there

@wissox said in Omaha Game Thread:

I think Washburn could beat this Omaha Mutual team

Would Hays be a 20 point favorite?

The people cry out for Latrell Jossell

Jimmy really emptying the bucket

GETHRO

Yeah, that’s what I’m talking about with Tyon just being different

@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:

Yeah, I don't know what Tristan has been doing since he got here. Video games maybe.

Being locked down in the Netherlands all summer was not optimal for his development

Dykes is from Topeka??

Is the SC not top 10 still a thing?

That other angle is so much better 😂😂

Ooooof

Bill 🤓🤓

Yes Dave do that mire

@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk said in Omaha Game Thread:

Tyon is a guy who just looks different out there. Really going to be good when he figures it out.

Imagine if Bill had him for 3-4 years...

Having him for 3 is possible, though I agree not likely.

Tyon is a guy who just looks different out there. Really going to be good when he figures it out.

I see you Bryce

Can we not with this lineup pls

Mitch just padding his stats

TRISTAN SCORES 🚨🚨🚨

Not even kidding, I’d consider asking Tristan to redshirt next year. The lack of off-season KILLED his development.

@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:

Good grief David

We all should drink if we ever go through a game without having to say that

I am anyway tbh
