For as much as Dotson does it’s pretty disappointing his outside jumper has seemingly gotten worse.

Haha. Of course

Please keep saying all the bad things about Dot’s shooting 😂

Please forgive the ignorance. With everyone debating whether Wilson should take a medical redshirt or not made me wonder if Doke can take a medical redshirt for last year. He only played 9 games, and I was wondering what the cut off was for being eligible. Also, there's been discussions on whether he's even a fit in the NBA. Now if he technically can take a RS I don't at all see him doing it, I was just wondering if he's at least eligible.

Please keep rude comments to yourself if I'm just completely wrong on this. I believe that even when I disagree with people on here I do it with respect. We're all Jayhawks here.

I believe so. I think you can apply for a medical if you play <30% of possible games and the injury ends your season. Crazy he could get a master's and still be the age of a typical senior (assuming his listed age is correct, which is debatable).

My top 5 Self replacements if the extremely unlikely happened and we needed to replace him next year (no order): Jay Wright, Mike White, Chris Beard, Mark Few, Tony Bennett

Got the football itch since there was only the Pro Bowl this weekend so wanted to get a better feel for Dearmon's scheme beyond just the label RPO. Tracked down a couple podcasts: https://open.spotify.com/episode/5IxDtwdg1k5xObgSvEzQG8?si=Z-HxMPP8QPO4TeNHTnl6yg ↗ and https://open.spotify.com/episode/6u1tLBRvTG4SpFGfmYCgRt?si=jbbzAe0GQvKvtQgNY3_RQg ↗

• As far as structure, it's pretty simple. He's got 4 run concepts (power, counter, inside zone, buck sweep) and 25 RPO's as the core of the system, what he refers to as "who we are." Not quite Air Raid numbers, but in the ballpark of simplicity.

• Use tempo to keep the defense in mostly "vanilla" looks. Helps make reads easier pre-snap.

• The entire point of the RPO is to attack potential 7th or 8th run defenders. For example, if you’re in 20 personnel and have 6 in the box, you’ve got a hat on a hat unless a safety/SAM comes down to attack the run. The point of the RPO is to read that defender and attack the space he vacated to defend the run.

• His big focus in RPO's is protecting the QB. In other words, don't leave the DE unblocked when the QB is reading from the pocket. Gruden went off about this on a QB Camp episode a couple years ago when teams were runnign RPO's but leaving the end man on the LOS unblocked. Block the end with a FB or H-Back.

• He bases out of 20 or 21 personnel, but will sprinkle in 12 depending on personnel. I'd look for TE's to be a big feature of the offense. I think there will be a lot of openings to hit a TE in the seam.

• Have answers to man since RPO's generally attack zone. He'll rely on rub routes and some QB runs if the box is light.

• At AR Tech, he only carried 4-5 RPO's each week depending on the coverages the defense plays. I’d look for 8-10 at KU. He'd also tweak some core concepts if there was a specific look they could exploit (think the BC game).

• He starts by teaching QB's gaps instead of coverages. This is to teach them how to identify who's in the box, who'll fit the run, and who to attack post-snap. Attack a defender in an area, not “read the field safety in Cover 3.”

• QB opens to post-snap read side, QB reads backside pre-snap.

• As far as personnel, we can see what he prefers in our recruiting: the field slot has to be a fast playmaker (think screens and go's). Boundary receiver is a bigger bodied WR that can block some and win jump balls. Field outside receiver should be able to take the top off the defense to keep the field safety occupied and beat the field corner. That helps the run game.
  • H-back has to be one of the smartest players on offense and understand gaps and what the QB may look at. Think Jimmay Mundine. Dearmon has a lot of guys that could end up playing a lot in the TE role(s).

There's plenty more out there but that's generally what he'll do.

PWO year 1, opportunity to get a scholarship from year 2 on. 🐦 View Tweet?s=20

Police said at their presser 9 people, not 5 passed. Horrible tragedy.

What is true is Kobe, his oldest daughter, another player, a parent, and the pilot passed. So sad.

Be right, not first.

Oh dear god, they are now reporting his daughters were on with him and are dead.

:face_vomiting:

Really hoping the reporter either misspoke or got way out over his skis

Woj has it so it’s true. Dammit. 🐦 View Tweet?s=21

F this. He was a fun guy to watch and all around positive influence on the league. RIP.

Woodrow said:

Just saw that. Wonder if he will be on scholarship? His offer list was a whole lot of nothing.

Yep, he’s a classic diamond in the rough (hopefully). Hasn’t been on the camp circuit and plays out in the sticks.

Silvio and Self have a tremendous relationship. I really believe it’s more father/son than coach/player. https://www.kansascity.com/sports/college/big-12/university-of-kansas/article239591828.html ↗

Marco said:

I am not in any way, shape or form advocating for the removal of Coach Self - want him to be here for as long as he coaches (hopefully 30 years). I do, however, advocate for De Sousa to be kicked off the team.

Feel free! billself@ku.edu (real email address btw)

That’s a really nice streak 😏

I forgot how big a UK homer Jimmy Dykes is. Not even sort of objective

@Marco no way!

And why not, @Crimsonorblue22? KU is a university (or even on a pro team!), and actions such as what he almost did have to be made an example of. Braun saved a life, but what De Sousa - if successful - was attempting to do could have taken one. Things like that need to be nipped in the bud, so that others will know that unless in war those things are unacceptable.

I believe in second chances.

Kim English still 0-fer in AFH

Doke just beat Tennessee harder than Sherman

Doke just ended the state of Tennessee

UT ball

Mutumbo wag

Doke is like 10’ tall. Can’t lob over him

Have to bit that if you take it

Need a classic AFH wills us to victory game

Moss might be our worst player when he’s not on fire from 3

Moss don’t be an idiot

Lol no call

Moss. No.

Yep. Didn’t see it in real time

Wait what

Dot is absurd getting downhill

I’m ok trading 2’s

And they call that??

OCHAI

Bowden can have that all day

Crimsonorblue22 said:

Unless moss is hitting, maybe he's better coming off the bench

Braun overall is better than Moss in basically every way other than shooting.

And Braun is at 45%, Moss at 40% so far. Small n for Braun but he’s been as good

Garbage call

I think these are our best 5

Lol 🐦 View Tweet?s=21

Make a few open looks in the next half and we’ll run them

It looked awesome on tv until it just died

Oh hey Marcus

Really surprised Doke still in now...

Bill wants to win.

Which is why I would sit him for the last 3 minutes...

I guess run and hide now then weather the storm later?
