And then there’s this. Why do we associate ourselves with this trash? 🐦 View Tweet

What a turn of events we might be witnessing with Bryce. Felt dead in the water for months here. Would say a lot to land a talent like him in the mess going on
Same. I quit asking about Bryce a couple months ago once I heard he was going to stay home and Cade/Todd would end up at Okie Lite. Once the ground started shifting under those two I just figured we wouldn’t be the beneficiary of any of it. But alas, we’re probably getting Bryce.
Though I’ll eat some crow. UK was taking the first of Askew and Cade. Sounds like Okie Lite is the probably destination for him now. RJ Davis kind of took the spot at UNC but we’ll see I suppose. I think it’s either OSU or UK.
Might be fun to play without him Thursday. Get Moss and Braun more minutes.

@Kcmatt7 as has been said by multiple people KU basketball doesn’t need national exposure. They don’t need to play Mizzou. This game is going to do far more for Mizzou basketball then it does for Ku basketball. It will get ESPN game day talking about them giving them exposure that they would not have had without this game.
What does KU the program gain from this??
Mizzou sucks at basketball. So everyone saying it is better than playing XYZ school is it really? This isn’t going to bolster KU resume for the tournament.
I watch every single KU game so I am not going to circle this game. I look forward to playing Duke, UK, Villanova, Sparty, etc... will I watch the game sure like I said I watch all of them.
But what is the downside for KU?
The argument against this game from everyone is that it helps Mizzou.
How does it hurt KU?
We have to associate ourselves with the slavers again. Weakens our strength of schedule since we always play a better team than them at Sprint. It costs a lot of money to disinfect Allen Fieldhouse. And we have to associate ourselves with the slavers again. This is like going back to your desperate ex who ran over your dog and gave you the clap.
Don’t you know MU likes to claim Missouri was really anti-slavery? That the Tigers nickname came from a group abolitionists in or around Columbia — all 10 of them.
I heard MU’s AD say today that those KU crackers be shakin’ now with the border war coming back, or maybe I misunderstood?
My guess is MU fans at every bar in the state are estatic. Meth on the house!
Word is the state legislature in Missouri is disappointed because now they’ll have to actually pay to re-pave I-70 between KC and Columbia.
But the MU fans are wary. Worried that they have, once again, shot themselves in the foot, Stipo style. Or that a camera might catch another athlete in the act — you know, finger in nose, object excised, insert in mouth. What do you use to Chase that? Natty light? Ask Eustachy.
I hear some oppressed rich kid is going to go on a fake hunger strike to protest our appearance at Paige arena even if the cause is fictional. Find a professor to call for some “muscle” to protect him just in case.
One thing though. We know we will never be a game on the way to an MU final four. Over a century of incompetence assures us of that. But each day the coaches drive on Champions Drive. Like naming a street after Casper the friendly ghost. Fictional and lacking substance.
That 1964 indoor track championship remains the shining light for a self proclaimed softball school. And has been the shining light for now for over five decades. Quite an accomplishment to be sure.
MU fled to the SEC because they couldn’t spell BCS if you spotted them the B and the S. Though they’d recognize that scent. Just don’t mention the smell of oranges.
Well done sir! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Almost certainly precautionary.
Probably otherwise something would have leaked.
Had to have the dramatic thread title though. As an aside we would be completely screwed without him. From top 5 clear cut best team in the B12 to a very average team.
Yeah, thanks for that. Almost made me spit out my beer!
Almost certainly precautionary.

@FarmerJayhawk ...and we don't want him spilling the beans on how much we ... er, Adidas .. paid him.
He’s half North Central Kansan. Loyal as they come!

@BShark not sure if he's an upgrade since I haven't watched any tape yet but certainly fills that spot. I still wonder how many spots are left. I think Grimm and Pearson are walk ons in year one, will be on scholarship after. Not sure about anyone else. I think we have approximately 21 IC's for 2020 since we pulled a few into 2019 to bolster this year's numbers. Unclear if we'll pull any from 2021.
@BShark Good for KU. No reason to not support him. It didn't work out at KU, nothing more than that.

I don't think anyone will ever know what really happened that caused Grimes to underachieve to the degree that he did. I don't think you will find many coaches that would have expected him to underperform that much.
He checked every box, then somehow unchecked every box. I have never seen that before.
Very interested to see how he does at Houston where the conference is a step down athletically.
Guess we'll find out this year. Got his waiver.

@BShark Dumb question... what does BMD stand for?
Big money donors. I bet they were all for it. They can hang out in the suites at Sprint and not have to deal with fans.
I don't live in the state and never lived in KC so I don't have a good feel for the opinion of the fanbase, but I sure would like to have $10,000 to do a poll about it. These are broad generalizations and not aimed at any individual, but my sense is the more diehard fans are opposed and the more casual fans are for the Border War (I refuse to call it the Border "Showdown," that name is stupid). At the end it was so ugly that a lot of fans were happy to see it go on indefinite hiatus.
KK and Bryce are mutually exclusive.
DanR said:
Also... This is probably the clearest signal to me that Bill Self isn't planning to hang around beyond this year.
Sure, go ahead and schedule the Tigers in December 2020. Whatever!
Self did leave the door wiiiiiide open to restart the series after we played the charity game, and that predated Long by a month or so.
🤮🤮🤮🤮 we have nothing to gain from this. Gross.
But now that it’s happening, time to skull***k them back to the border John Brown style.
Gross. Hopefully we make 75% of the money on this thing to be associated with those inbred slavers. http://faninfo.kuathletics.com/nl/jsp/m.jsp?c=%40Fcjv4GI5hhMG%2BvTibY4BED7GAxZo52fZs%2BXQRy15DGw%3D ↗

In all fairness to grimes, he looked really good in the USA games. He was a highly recruited guard.🤷♀️
Yep. I totally whiffed on Q, mostly from the USA games. One guy I feel pretty good about not whiffing on is Moss. I like everything I've heard about him so far.

I've emptied the bag my man!
To @BShark's point, the two biggest "recruits" left on the board are Silvio and Ochai. Harris, Thompson, Ochai, Silvio, McCormack is easily another top 5 team. Even if Silvio goes, we could go small (even though Enaruna is taller than Silvio?) with Wilson or Enaruna at the 4. Could also go the grad transfer route but that seems less likely.

Any updates on whether or not the Hail Mary was completed? If he ends up at OU can we have the play reviewed for PI?
Well Slater just CB’d Bryce to KU...
It's hard to tell when he is trolling. UNC definitely feels out since they are getting RJ Davis though.
I still think OU but we’ll see I suppose.
Actually I don’t.
Are you getting a feeling / a sense possibly for us on this FarmerJayhawk ? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
This is going to be super unsatisfying but I could see him picking OU, KU, or UNC. Things should get more clear this week.

Marco said:
That's one I haven't heard yet, Mike White. Would he be your first choice @FarmerJayhawk?
He’s at the top of my list for guys I think we can get. My stance on replacing Self if he’s suspended is we need someone who can really coach, won’t be in it for the long haul, he’s tanned, rested, ready: Larry Brown.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Beaty definitely had enough bodies to play the spring game, because he played the spring game where Michael Cummings got hurt. He was like a fisherman that year, every time he got asked how many players he started with the number went lower. Truth be told he had about 60 on scholarship year 1. About 45 for the spring game. At least that’s what I was told at the time.
But back to the topic at hand, it’s clear now that this program is headed in the right direction. Next two are clearly winnable at home. 4 wins should be considered good progress and we’ll go into next year with a much younger team, real questions at QB, and still questionable depth. 2021 is the targeted breakout year.
I believe we’re at about 25/25/10/10, +/- a couple. Beaty really screwed the pooch in 2018.
Part of the reason it’s tough to finish is we have no bodies. Texas ran 85+ plays and we were done in the 4th. A decent second string buys us enough time to get a stop late and helps block up special teams. Tough when you’re playing with 20% fewer guys than UT.

Ready for next Saturday already, odd saying that in football season. 2 home games vs Tech and KSU. Both are winnable. How about Baylor?
Doubtful on Baylor but KSU and Tech for sure.
Hot damn. We’re close to something. 569 yards of offense. Carter looks like a man possessed in this offense. Dearmon called a great game.
He’s about 215 now thankfully. Think he still needs 25 pounds.

I think it’s a Hail Mary. Pretty sure he’ll end up at OU.

One of my boys, Sen. Romney, is going to give this thing some juice. He told the NCAA earlier, “we’re coming for you.” Sometimes bipartisanship really does exist. 🐦 View Tweet?s=21

Keenan Hambrick decommitted. Not a huge loss. I think there was a numbers crunch we wanted him to greyshirt.
I saw that , and we all know there is going to be those de-commits - - it's ok - -saw where there have been other programs asking about him - -that's the way things are with Football - -it was a verbal and until that signature is on the dotted line, it's just the Nature of the game. - -Don't get me wrong I fully understand that you know that -- just saying.
It's just to bad that after a kid announces , that other schools can't respect that decision and back off.
Yet it's just part of the recruiting game. I can just hear other Schools pitches against us and the reasoning they tell these kids NOT to be a part of KU. - Football is: - - why would you want to be a part of such a dumpster fire? - -come to our more established school in football a chance to be seen -: - -Basketball is : - -why would you want to go to a school that is about to be hit hard with sanctions & probation - -and good chance of not even being allowed in the tourney - - - VULTURES that is how it works.
Like you say not a huge loss - -will be more I'm sure , surprised actually hasn't been more already - -it's ok - -hopefully just opens a spot for Clayton lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Honestly... I think we have a pretty good shot at him. It'll take a couple dominos to fall right but KU can get him.

HighEliteMajor said:
@BShark So a serious question for you and I guess anyone. If all the recruits are getting paid, as theorized, how are we still paying recruits (via Adidas or other third parties)? If not, how do we (and other Adidas schools) get any recruits if other shoecos are paying and not Adidas? Or are other shoecos now not paying?
Nike is definitely still paying (e.g. Scottie Barnes, N’Faly Dante). Adidas too since Washington and Louisville have seen a recent uptick. We’re just not playing in that sandbox. Guys in the area we’re recruiting don’t command that much, so we can compete with that with facilities, coaching, support. From what I gather, we’ve basically exited from Adidas grassroots basketball orbit and are doing things the way they “should” be done.
BShark said:
@justanotherfan Thanks for all the intel here. It sounds like from his comments that Self and the coaching staff really hit it off with his family.
Definitely. Howard shows up to his mom’s office sometimes just to say hello
@Woodrow no downside. Best case you change his mind last minute and worst case he just flat tells you he's committing to Michigan. And it's 75 and sunny in the triangle today so he can stop and enjoy the weather!
Self visiting Todd today, likely to get the news in person. I'll ask my friend about the weather in Sydney.

Locked it down on his in-home. Nice pickup.

Like for real how bad does it have to be that Nike can't get that cleared up looool. They got Bagley cleared somehow...
I guess its still the difference between it being Duke vs Oregon?
That whole private school thing. Dook can sweep stuff under the rug academically. Public schools are less able to.
HighEliteMajor said:
@jayballer73 The guy started five games as a JUCO freshman. It’s just wildly speculative. I don’t get excited about wildly speculative JUCO players.
The good news is Self told him he’s going to fix the NCAA issues. From the kusports.com article below -
As for the looming NCAA allegations against KU, Grant-Foster said he and his family asked about the situation during his visit. What he heard in response from the Kansas coaches put his mind at ease.
“They were totally honest about it,” he said. “Coach Self said he was going to take care of it, and I’m not worried really at all. I just want to hoop.”
That program doesn’t really play freshmen or recruit one and dones. Sounds like your kind of place!

Ding ding. All parties want an extension, and will get one barring a crazy long show cause.
I’d call up Mike White at Florida in that scenario.
