There are about 500 football guys in the portal already. At least half were about to be cut loose and aren't valuable enough to be picked up.
It's over 1,000.

Are these numbers right? I had no idea we were this competitive:
On3.com, a fairly new sports analysis website started by Rivals.com founder Shannon Terry, has made tracking NIL a big part of its brand, and the site currently lists Dick with the 22nd highest NIL valuation in all of college basketball — $349,000.
KU junior Jalen Wilson, who has gotten off to a torrid start, ranks 10th on the list at $633,000. Dajuan Harris Jr. (28th at $242,000), MJ Rice (54th at $144,000) and Kevin McCullar Jr. (72nd at $112,000) are the other Jayhawks in the On3 Top 100.
I wish I was dumb rich- they would be, too.
Frannie is tweeting me...lol.
Texas/ Illini is a hell of a game. Elite 8 or FF caliber game. Terrance Shannon and Matthew Mayer both look good.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Going to Memphis:
I have a ticket for the game and will be in Memphis from the 26th-29th. I've never been to Memphis before so would appreciate some ideas on things to do while there. I'm going to the Suns/Grizzlies game on the 27th and will probably go down to Beale St. after the game. I'm also planning on going to the Civil Right Museum.
I'd like ideas on some other things to do while there. Sight seeing, places to eat (I'd love to go to a top BBQ place there to see how Memphis BBQ stacks up to Texas and KC) or anything else that would be of interest to a first time visitor.
1) KC BBQ
2) Memphis
3) Texas
Grew up on KC BBQ. Still trying to adjust to dried out Texas BBQ.
I wish we could hire someone to dress up in a chicken outfit with the sign that says " the Missourah Chickens"...
I have been dogging them for ducking us in the bowl game hard. The Missourah Chickens!
@BeddieKU23 said in Other games:
Good stuff!
I steal it from Twitter. I got banned for a day yesterday because I told a deluded Missourah fan we were going to beat them like a rented mule after he babbled on about being better than us in basketball...lol. I figured a Missourah fan would understand mules better than most.

Seems that Udeh's head is in the right place.
The way Bill talks about him is very positive per my Bill Self decoder ring.
That's 60 % of the battle.
People from Kansas have never pronounced Arkansas as anything other than Ar-Kansas. When I was growing up, you'd get corrected if you said it wrong. I remember my grandpa arguing with the tv announcer- " it's not Arkansas, it's Ar-Kansas!" God forbid if you mentioned "the river".

I'd rather play Hogs than Cowards...the battle for pronunciation rights!
@Texas-Hawk-10 That's a positive way of looking at it. Plus, we would win the game, so there's that.
CBS now has us playing against 5-7 Rice in the First Responder Bowl. I'm trying to suppress my ingrate tendency by not discussing how bummed I would be if this holds up. Rice? Really?

Hilarious. Misery fans are concocting all of these excuses why they're afraid to play us...lol.
It's streaming on Peacock at 7.
Baylor/Gonzaga tonight should be interesting. The loser will have 3 losses.

KJ is having troubles

Point Blank , - -Straight up -- -were are gonna have trouble with Texas - -Athletic as all get out , very athletic
Creighton's lack of athleticism is very apparent. Texas' abundance of highly athletic players is apparent, too.

A little off the subject but the VP of my company has triplets, and one of them is a very good beach volleyball player. She just signed with Boise St. I pitched going to KU hard to dad, but he said she likes playing beach volleyball, not regular volleyball. So off to the land of the blue astro turf. Anyway, congrats to the lady jayhawks!
@BShark said in Seton Hall Gameday discussion:
@Crimsonorblue22 Landen would be good as a coach. Oregon game was painful for sure.
To this day, I wish we would schedule them and destroy them. Wipe Altman's smirk off his face.
Random thought- find out if Danny is coming into Lawrence for the holidays, and see if we could urge him to spend some time with our bigs. Maybe bribe him with some good desserts or something.
( I know- he works for Maryland, but I won't tell if you won't!)
After this game, we don't play another game for 9 days. Then we have a full week after that before we play another game. So, let's squeeze this one out, because practice is going to do wonders for us.
@BShark said in 2022-23 stats-PER, Kenpom etc:
@Jethro Well Jalen has 0 so I'd say Juan.
Trick question- they're both tied ... with ZERO.
OK...trivia question. Who has more dunks this season? Juando or Jalen?
He couldn't have been that old, could he? Lenny Dawson, Daryl Lamonica and John Hadl were the qbs of my youth.

Really surprised to see Jank as our 4th best player. He'd been so strongly leading in the early games. It just goes to show how razor thin the margin between superstar and walk on really are. Injuries really put him in a tough spot the last few games and missing that 3 was just a critical error that could have long lasting implications for his future stock.
I'm thinking of starting a " don't yank the Jank" fanclub.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid not yanking the Jank is what brought us here. I mean, I'm still a fan, but the numbers now show he is actually only the 4th best player on the team instead of a statistical superstar destined for the league. The numbers still don't lie. With that said, based on the numbers I would still start him next game.
I wouldn't. They'd take the ball away from him and dunk in his face.

Dam Baylor just getting smoked. - - -51 - - -25 at the half by Marquette. - - Baylor 16 turnovers to Marquette's 2 turnovers. - -Marquette has scored 23 points to Baylor ZERO
Marquette is too fast for them.
Tucky is tied with Bellarmine with 12 minutes to go. They've put up 34 points in 28 minutes against a team that just became Div 1...lol.
They have to improve the facilities asap. It's sad that it has to take a coach putting in his contract he'll leave if they don't improve the dang stadium. We're Kansas- we're not Ft Hays St.
