@FarmerJayhawk works both ways, huh? Dok can run now!

I would pay large dollars for a poster of Doke dunking on the entire dook squad.

@Crimsonorblue22 I don't think so when we're turned up. Hurt and Carey aren't exactly high motor guys. Moore and Stanley are A++ athletes though. We absolutely have to get back on the break.

I'm less worried about Hurt. He's not a super mobile stretch 4. He's super skilled and kind of soft with average athleticism. Silvio is certainly quick enough to hang with him. I think Silvio is a defensive 4 and an offensive 5, skill wise. Actually sort of worried about Doke getting out on the perimeter if they stretch Carey and he decides to try at basketball.

But I'm not worried at all on the other end of the floor. If K decides to zone us we'll eat them alive on the boards and get plenty of second chance points. Watch out for a bunch of lobs behind the zone (might be a situation where Hurt gets teabagged...) I think our perimeter defense will be a shock to them as well. Tre Jones isn't a great offensive player and Moore/Stanley won't light you up. Only risk is if a guy like Jack White or Alex O'Connell gets stupid hot.

Going to say Jayhawks 71 Rutgers South 62

Moss probably won't play. I'd be stunned if Self started 4 guards. I think we at least start with 2 bigs and then adjust as necessary. One thing we know, Self will coach circles around K, who's basically a figurehead at this point.

Puff Johnson trending UNC’s way. If he commits there it effectively ends their pursuit of Bryce.

Post-KSU update. Didn't burn anyone's redshirt. Of note, Earl Bostick and Thomas MacVittie got their first game action. Bostick and Marcus Harris (freshman DE) can therefore play the rest of the year and take still redshirt. Don't see any downside if they can help us.

Thompson’s final four will be out in a few minutes. Going out on a really, really crazy limb and saying KU, OU, UNC, Okie Lite

I wouldn't crown the guy or Bill Self on this just yet. We wouldn't be in this neighborhood but for your predicament.

He went 9-19 overall and 1-5 from 3 against in his previous game against .... Pratt CC. He's had 7 turnovers in about 50 minutes of play this season. Of course, that's nitpicking and means nothing in reality. Doke looked bad vs. Ft. Hays and that doesn't mean much.

But the praise is just a case of premature coronation is all.

At this level I’m looking for tools and the ability to dominate lesser competition. He definitely has the tools. He’s starting to show he can dominate that level. Then you see what you have when he gets to campus.

First point, do not under any circumstances burn any redshirts unless it’s an absolute emergency. I hope we don’t get blown out again, but if we do I wouldn’t mind seeing MacVittie get some garbage time snaps. Lets just try like hell to get to 4 wins. That beats expectations and demonstrates things are getting better. Then wait for the breakout in 21 or 22.

Outdueld Jay Scrubb too. Good shit.

Turns out he can shoot too. Maybe, just maybe, Self knows what he’s doing. 🐦 View Tweet?s=20

BShark said:

Apparently we are recruiting TJ Montgomery the PG for Aspire. He is tiiiiiny.

@FarmerJayhawk you heard anything about this?

¯_(ツ)_/¯. I’d think getting Thompson would end pursuit of most other guards.

I agree with it but man it would stink for him if we get a postseason ban next year.

Ruling on penalties likely April. We appeal and appeals are usually done in 6 or so mos which would be before the 2021 tourney. Your concern about missing the 2021 tourney is a very real possibility.

In fact, with the current NOA, it seems like a certainly.

Also assuming we don’t go to court and a court doesn’t stay the sanctions pending litigation.

Grant-Foster lit it up with Self in attendance. Was actually better than that super hyped kid that’s committed to Louisville. Think he had like 25

dook is a trash school full of trash people and I hope we win by 50

kjayhawks said:

@FarmerJayhawk maybe so but we are getting spanked we should give someone some snaps that will be here next season.

Please no rotating QB’s or any of that gimmicky crap. If we’re way behind I wouldn’t mind seeing Mac get some reps but Carter is the guy and will get almost all competitive snaps until the end of the year.

And Carter’s injury isn’t serious. Should be good to go in 2 weeks. Thank goodness for the bye.

kjayhawks said:

@jayballer73 We ain’t gonna go to bowl, may as well get started on next years QB.

Nah, you let Carter finish his senior year. No better way to lose the locker room than bench the seniors.

Unfortunately what you get when you only have 13 scholarship DL or LB available. Get absolutely gassed late.

kjayhawks said:

Then a drop on 4th down SMH. This season is over, highly doubt we win again

Not going to go that far. But we certainly won’t be close to favored in any.

kjayhawks said:

@FarmerJayhawk I’m disappointed but hard to blame anyone on that side of the ball other than Beaty.

The level of incompetence is staggering.

Jeez. Fuck Beaty. Dude totally nuked our program by ignoring recruiting on defense. Signed exactly 0 frosh DT's his entire time at KU. I think 3 frosh DL total over 4 years. Fuck him and his stupid fucking howdy doody schtick. Such a twit. Didn’t leave us jack on defense even though he was going to go to Texas and get some d00dz with some high bone density or some BS

Texas Hawk 10 said:

Carter Stanley is too inconsistent and always has been to be a good QB at the P5 level. The past two games, a lot of his yards came on big plays, either Stanley hitting a deep route or a receiver breaking a play open.

Yep, other than throwing for a ton of yards and TD’s he’s been awful.

Need a classic Dearmon/Stanley flip of the switch. Might have to score on every possession from here on.

Man.. a stop and score here would be huge.

Dumping Eliot is stupid. He’s got like 4 scholarship DL.

How’s it looking there? Idea on good guys/bad guys split?

PS. The date is set, and I believe they’ve made the call. I’ll let Bryce and the family do the rest.

Confidence?

Heard KU was likely the choice a week or so ago and haven’t heard anything since so now reason to doubt it now.

Not sure on the specific date. I do know he’ll sign early.

kjayhawks said:

Kansas Athletics has just announced the game is officially a sell out!!!

I hope they’re at least 35,000 good guys.

stoptheflop said:

I was looking at KU stats awhile back and only saw Stanley; I guess if the other QBs didn't throw or rush, they wouldn't show up in the stats. Can MacVittie and Kendrick redshirt; otherwise it seems like a completely wasted year for those two.

Nope, MacVittie took one at Pitt so he’s a RS Junior eligibility-wise.

Couldn’t have said it better my man. Les and Dearmon are the perfect marriage. Eliot was really impressive as well. Amazing things will happen over the next few years.

I’ve seen a major uptick in my KSU friends poking at KU and Les being a bit weird. Les is weird, no doubt about it. But my lord he can coach. I would run through a wall for that dude, because he really cares about his team and will push his team. Dearmon is the same way. I want my coach to grab my helmet, look me in the eye like a man and tell me how to get better. Then when I get it right, lets do a hell yeah.

This thing is going to be special, no doubt about it.

BShark said:

@FarmerJayhawk to be clear I meant the having sex with your underlings part and not the nudes leak part. I don't even remember the guy you referenced here.

Exactly. To me it’s more a people like to check out photos of a hot 30something Member than a 70 year old dude.

I do think if someone like Rep. Stefanik from NY (married to a KU grad) did the same thing the press would go thermonuclear over the GOP’s problem with morality.

I don’t think the press is explicitly out for GOP blood. I think they unconsciously find center-right people weird and think any transgression among “the other” is news while the same acts by a center-left person is business as usual. It’s not malicious, just tribal.

BShark said:

Imagine if Katie Hill were a 64 year old white man how the coverage would have changed. No denying that.

My position is she absolutely broke House rules and deserved to be expelled or resign and whoever leaked the photos should be prosecuted.

We have a counterfactual here. Check the Joe Barton case from awhile ago. He resigned quietly and nobody cared. For basically the same thing. Turns out nobody wants to look at n00dz of a 70 year old guy. Also Newt got run from the House for banging a staffer while married. He’s married to her now but doesn’t change the breach of the rules.

Moral of the story: don’t screw your subordinates. Just don’t. Like ever. This isn’t hard. Just don’t f*** the people you hire. Especially when it’s A) DEFINITELY against House rules. I was lectured about it each Congress I worked. And B) likely a federal crime depending on how you read the statute. And C) DONT HAVE AN AFFAIR WITH YOUR EMPLOYEE MY GODS

@bskeet Right, "Trump attacks media, rants about claimed bias" OR "Trump champions impartial, fact based reporting"

We get 95% the former in the mainstream media, and 5% the latter.

This fake news is no different. Except that we all recognize this as "fake."

Snorts from laughter*

Yes, Trump is the champion of honesty and transparency.

I’m not a Trump defender. So not the point. He has been under constant attack from every mainstream media source except for one. The mainstream media as a left wing engine of propaganda creates most of the problems. If the faults, dishonesty, etc from both sides were treated the same way, we’d have a much different discourse right now. Hey that’s far from the case.

In most cases he’s deserved it. But I agree with the double standard piece. Most recent example: Katie Hill.

PS. The date is set, and I believe they’ve made the call. I’ll let Bryce and the family do the rest.

Do we get free wangs at the wheel for 60 point wins in exhibitions?

Jank!!

BShark said:

@FarmerJayhawk huge lol

Right?? I’ve been to 40ish games at AFH and like 15 at the Octagon of Room and there’s no comparison. This player might actually be deaf.

Soooo were only 12 away from free Wang burgers...

I hate playing zone. But not a bad thing to throw out there

BREAKING: Doke is big

Nice of Tristan to get Silvio his 10th board

@BShark for sure. Mitch is a really smart dude. He knows his big earning potential isn’t in basketball.

“Oh boy I have to watch tape and coach now!” - Coach K

ZONE 🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Good point from Dave there. Mitch graduates this semester so might as well get 3/4 of your master’s paid for.

Ditto Enaruna

Oh wow. This lineup can’t hit the ocean from the dock and is still scoring inside
