Royals • Nov 05, 2016 04:26 PM

@dylans that would be one hell of a trade but I think Holland is a free agent.

Trae • Nov 05, 2016 12:17 AM

@jayballer54 I have no clue what that was suppose to mean.

Royals • Nov 04, 2016 10:45 PM

Royals have picked up options on Wade Davis $10 mil & Escobar 6.5 mil, and declined Medlens mutual option. Davis will be a free agent next year.

Morales and Volquez have turned down their mutual offers. 30 homers gone. Both are 33 years old.

Danny Duffy is talking extension. I didn't recognize him, he needs to grow the beard back.

Giants are interested in Greg Holland.

@jayballer54 said (That’s how I stay informed on these players Now you answer me honestly, What player can you name that NOT making it to the N.B.A is their main goal?)  
Tyler Self. 

This is a quote from Tyler so if you want to dispute it contact him.  

Of his career possibly being coaching, Tyler Self said: “I’d say it’s too early to predict. I’m not going to rule it out, but I don’t think it (coaching) is the path I want to take immediately.
“Whether it’s operations, coaching, whatever, I don’t know. I’m not going to rule anything out, but I do want to do something with basketball. That’s where my passion is.”

These numbers come from NCAA.ORG
 http://www.ncaa.org/about/resources/research/mens-basketball ↗

Of the 18697 ncaa basketball players in 2015 around 4155 were draft eligible, 46 were drafted in the NBA draft. Others went to the D league and some went overseas. A total of 12.2%.   1.1% NBA DRAFT

All the players know these numbers and the reality of being drafted. I'll go out on a limb and say 70% know they have absolutely no chance of going pro. Some dropout others complete their degree and go on to live a normal life like the rest of us.

Now you bring up the crystal ball often. If this is your main source for staying informed. As you often say. LMFAO

Trae • Nov 04, 2016 12:14 AM

@BShark thanks for adding Garrett lots of potential.

Trae • Nov 03, 2016 11:14 PM

@jayballer54 I don't give a rat's ass if Kentucky fans are all jacked up and hollering. I like to see Kentucky and Duke fans in pain, teary-eyed on their knees crying about it not being fair. So I guess your right I am a hater I don't  like Kentucky. Or Duke.

Trae is a kid looking for his best situation. He has one goal right now and that goal is not to play for the NCAA team that he loves. It's to play in the NBA.

Lightfoot is a kid who always wanted to be a Jayhawk and play at KU. He  jumped at the opportunity to say I'm a Jayhawk. The 2019 kid Markese Jacobs is the same way, he can't stop tweeting about KU.
Theses are the type of kids I follow and hope the best for.

The elite players are nice to have for a year or two but college is not where they want to be.

I Plan on doing this at Kansas

@JayHawkFanToo I said (why do you care if he's not coming here) in response to J baller saying (I know he isn't coming here).

As I have said since summer I don't think any of the top recruits will sign till they know what DG and Bragg are going to do. so if he waits till February or March he is very much in play. Same goes for T.Brown, Duvall, Preston and a couple of others.

Trae • Nov 03, 2016 07:21 PM

If he's not coming here why do you care.

Kansas vs Washburn • Nov 02, 2016 12:15 AM

Got the game on watch espn app in KC, espn3 was blocked

Cell service in KC • Nov 01, 2016 07:44 PM

@DanR, @JayHawkFanToo, sprint has a lg g5 for half price now for 288 it has both technologys, i'm going up to best buy now to make sure it works with all. if so I'll try sprint for 3 month, and move to the next one. what Dylan and @JayHawkFanToo said about t-Mobil sounded good so that will be my next stop.

PHONE PRICES ARE INSANE

Cell service in KC • Nov 01, 2016 06:16 PM

@JayHawkFanToo, @dylans, thanks for the T-mobile tip. After talking to all the carriers I found that the 2 year contract and early termination fees are a thing of the past, now they want you to by a phone and pay it off over 24 months. So now I'm looking for an unlocked phone that is compatable with all the carriers. I maybe wrong but it seems that you can change carriers month to month with no penalty.

Cell service in KC • Nov 01, 2016 03:45 AM

I'm thinking about changing from Virizon to Sprint. So I was wondering if anyone could give me a thumbs up or down is it great or does it suck?

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Nov 01, 2016 12:02 AM

@JayHawkFanToo have you tried the watch espn app

So who is this Kenny Wooten? • Oct 31, 2016 03:28 AM

@jayballer54 that 100% CB is 1 prediction. other sites have him listed as a 3 star.

One of the West Coast's most athletic posts in 2017 has reopened his recruitment. Kenneth Wooten, a 6-foot-8, 205-pound center originally from Manteca (Calif.), signed with Nevada in 2016. However, Wooten transferred to Las Vegas Trinity International and reclassified to 2017. After spending several months contemplating his commitment, Wooten asked for a release from his Letter of Intent. "I've been released from my NLI," Wooten told Scout. http://www.scout.com/player/192481-kenneth-wooten?s=75 ↗ It hasn't taken long for Wooten's second recruitment to pick up. He listed offers from Arizona State, Oregon State, San Diego State, USC, San Jose State, Washington State, Fresno State, Nevada, UNLV, Kansas State, Cal,

@mayjay I'm in the KC metro espn3 was blocked but the espn app worked for me, both streamed with the roku to my tv. Maybe I'm far enough east the app doesn't show KC.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 03:58 AM

@kjayhawks a streaming device. how do you watch sling

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 03:52 AM

@kjayhawks I use a roku to stream it with home WiFi, I would rather watch it on a tv than a tablet

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 12:55 AM

After dropping cable and going to sling I had to learn different ways to get what I want. In April I will drop the espn package and get the fox package to watch the Royals.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 12:40 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 same way I watched late night and a couple other things. I've said try the app a couple of times and have been told it won't work.!20161029_192521.jpg ↗

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 12:26 AM

@Crimsonorblue22 what's that

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 30, 2016 12:13 AM

@globaljaybird looked it up the watch espn app launched 25 Oct 2010.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 29, 2016 11:37 PM

@JayHawkFanToo well you were correct the volleyball game is blacked out on espn3. But I'm watching it on the watch espn app.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 29, 2016 07:11 PM

@kjayhawks I looked ahead and it shows Washburn and Emporia State also. We'll find out in a couple of hours.

@JayHawkFanToo 1st I am a Kansan I'm just staying with my daughter and her family while I recover, needed someone to change my diaper and wash me. Like many Jayhawks she lives where her job is.

I had to look up TTBONK I'm not a big Internet guy. Your right I pay $20 a month no fees no contracts instead of $130 a month for 300 channels that I didn't watch and a 2 year contract. As far as the blackout goes I blame Texas and the failed Longhorn network, it should be the big 12 network.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 29, 2016 04:21 PM

@JayHawkFanToo I'm in Lees Summit, Mo. I use Sling tv, it shows Texas vs. Kansas at 6:30 PM. Guess I'll find out then.

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 29, 2016 03:37 PM

@Bwag using the espn app works for me in Mo, that's how I watched late night

Update, JoJo • Oct 29, 2016 02:31 AM

@drgnslayr Ellis has signed with Greensboro D League

just my take • Oct 29, 2016 01:55 AM

@jayballer54 think I found the answer to all the recruting problems

OK, got a question • Oct 29, 2016 01:05 AM

@jayballer54

They played WVU 2013 -2014 and Oklahoma 2014-2015

THE COUNTDOWN BEGINS • Oct 29, 2016 12:47 AM

@jayballer54 GOOGLE is a great tool, tells you everything you want to know.

I use Sling tv so if it's not on espn or espn2 I use the espn app with my sling account. But Crimsonorblue22 said it wouldn't work where you are. So my suggestion is change providers or move to missouri.

@Crimsonorblue22 he seems to know

TRAE YOUNG CALLS HIS VISIT "CRAZY!" • Oct 24, 2016 10:08 PM

@KUSTEVE I think Garrett would be a fine backup for the other 4

TRAE YOUNG CALLS HIS VISIT "CRAZY!" • Oct 24, 2016 08:39 PM

@Crimsonorblue22 what is a OAD? I think there were four or five 4⭐ players taken in the 1st round but never labeled OAD till the end of the year.

@Crimsonorblue22 I started to look it up then realized I just don't care, and saw your jk at the end

Malik Newman • Oct 21, 2016 05:13 PM

@BeddieKU23 I think your reading to much in to it but even if he does commit the sun will rise tomorrow. I still think next year's starting 5 are currently on the roster, never bought into the pre season mock draft that had Bragg, DG, and Svi a 3 year backup getting drafted in the first round. Possible but unlikely.

Next year we have Newman, Vick and Garrett. Possibly DG, Svi and Bragg will all be back I think 2 of them will be. This is why I don't see any of the top players committing until they know or have a better idea what those 3 are doing

Malik Newman • Oct 21, 2016 02:56 PM

@BeddieKU23 Sexton is going to Tide Tipoff tonight their version of Late night. I'm sure the other recruits will be in his ear and the coaching staff will be pushing for a commitment. I won't write him off till the deal is done.

Soo, thoughts • Oct 15, 2016 02:07 PM

@jayballer54 you left out Sexton, he is supposedly down to Alabama and KU. My question is who is returning? Graham, Svi, Bragg. Why would any of them sign until they have an idea what those 3 are going to do.

@Kcmatt7 your description of Willis reminded me of a guy that played at Michigan in the late 90s. He was an ordinary QB with average arm strength, and limited mobility.
