@AsadZ Oh no doubt , look where the jets are at. - -Rumor or word I should say is Aaron did not like having to play with young receivers , Where Jordon is growing with these same age receivers

put this here seeing as how it said NFL/ Othe , should be ok.

I have to be proud of Green Bay , set another record, the youngest roster in NFL , bright future 25 years of age

First team in the History of the NFL : = = 30+ points /shutout -- -400 plus yards and allowing under 200 yards ---- zero turnovers- -& zero missed kicks. Future is bright in the frozen tundra lol

Was listening to Drake Toll who has a podcast locked on Jay Hawks brings out a pretty good point.

ESPN doesn't give a diddly-doo about The Big 12 - -it's all SEC or whatever- So follow this see if this makes any sense:
Say you have this kid like a high 4 Stat coming out of High School and commits to Texas they score him at like a 96/97 , almsot a 5 star, then the kid decides to transfer to another School and ends up at BYU.- -BAM right out the gate the drop the kids score 10 points -- drops him to like 84/85 and a three star , and even though the kid may not of play in his 1st year or enough to rate that type of grade , they penalize BYU by down grading the kid from a high four star to a three star for going to the portal and ending up at BYU and they reward Texas by what they say is a three star.

There has been at least two cases so far of this happening just ESPN trying to find another way to screw the BIG 12 , ESPN does not want the Big 12 to do well- -only SEC & BIG

@approxinfinity Oh you need to be horse whipped lol-- just kidding. I'll never pull for those clowns even if it's tiddly winks . or badminton.

I'll drive out of my way to drive around that crap hole down the inner state .-- It will always be pulling against or the other team. I was hoping/watching but Nope lol K /State

@approxinfinity Dang that sucks for sure, hope you get better. These things can hold on and on. When I was still working , I started feeling bad went home early couple days no better so seen the doctor, took tests and said well tests don't show flu BUT I'm going to treat you like you do anyways, - Well starting feeling better - - Went back to work - -BAD IDEA lol /I worked in a refrigerated warehouse , went back to work to soon back home i went.

Turned into walking Pneumonia, - -mercy got bad buddy- -ended up with walking Pneumonia with Whooping Cough I was so sick , really weak temp peaked at 104- -I was so weak , it was all i could do was to be able to lift my spoon to eat those little containers of Jello. Took everything had to just be able to lift my head long enough just to eat that Jello. Bottom line it knock my butt in the dirt - ended up being out about 2 weeks- --neve want that again lol, I know how you feel just take care and don't rush

@Texas-Hawk-10 Dam Dam - - that sucks, wonder how that effects current roster? - -He was here what 27 years ? - -have a petty good core coming back- -Dam

@approxinfinity Ah well dang buddy hope you get well soon

@drgnslayr lmao you crazy lol

Just wanted to wish all my fellow JayHawkers- -- - a very Merry Christmas, hope you can enjoy with family and friends-- just the big thing have fun but be safe & we will see you on the other side - - -ROCK CHALK

My Green Bay boys did ok last night. won 34-0- - over the Saints. They mentioned last night if GB wins out the NFC North will have three tteams with a 13 win Season- Think of being 13-4 and having to play your first playoff game on the road -crazy

@drgnslayr Sorry and your right IF , IF KJ could , but if your counting on that happening then sorry - that's not happening. There are not to many of that Barkly mode or ability - -plus there are alot of different fan bases that I'm sure wish that just IF a particular player could average over 10 Rebs a game -- they would be in 7th heaven- you don't find a lot of players average over 10 rebs a game- -that's just not KJ & like I said before, That's why Bill brought in all these supposed stud scoring portal transfers to pick up the Scoring. KJ doesn't need to score anymore if the others on this team would carry their load of responsibility.

I would bet that you could go through this entire roster and find things that IF the player did we would be ALOT better, take your pick any of them, they all got flaws that we could bitch about and to a point we do

@mayjay said in Christmas Gift to KJ:

Most of KJ's rebounds seem to be offensive boards. On defense, he isn't trying to rebound because he is usually off to the races. Would everyone be happier if HD had 2 less rebs and KJ had 2 more?

I doubt it, just have to find something else to be un happy about then. - -KJ is fine. he is no worse then a 7'2 guy that gets his shot blocked more then any other 7'2 player I've ever seen. - -I think he got his shot blocked 3 times against brown.- -- I would love to know what his vertical is - -his explosion - Hunter's explosion is awful getting your dunk blocked by the rim- - OMG , but KJ has become the whipping boy- -well for this week amways

Even though I agree with you for the most part drgnslayr I do think we need to look a little deeper before we just lay blame on KJ for his paly. , let's dig into some stats between KJ & Zeke on the year and see.

OK :- - Minutes played per game , KJ 29.2 - Zeke- - 28.5 .- -- now here is going to surprise you from your statement made.- -Rebounding Average - -Zeke- -4.2 - -KJ - -4.0 ( so no not even close to doubled ) -- Asst per - -Zeke 3.3 , -- KJ 2.3
Steals per game - Zeke- - 0.6 -- - KJ- -0.6- - - blocks per - -Zeke0.2 . - -Kj- - 1.1- -- Turnovers per , - -Zeke 2.0 - - -KJ 0.9- -FT - - Zeke 78.6- -- -KJ - 78.3

Now in the more borader picture on the Season- -Shots taken- -Zeke attempted 71/125- ( here is a glaring difference- -Zeke has attempted 46 more shots then KJ) - - - Free Throws - - Zeke- -11/14 - -KJ - -18/23- -- -Now here where it shows in the rebounding comparison - - Zeke 3 offensive rebounds , - -KJ 21 offensive rebounds - -defensive rebounds - -Zeke 43 - - KJ - -232.

So actually Zeke and KJ are actually pretty much the same , just not that rebounding difference that you had mentioned by double.-- Zeke hitting the defensive boards quite a bit better , - -KJ more balanced defensive and offensive- - but as you see overall only two tenths difference in rebounding average.

What i really don't think some understand is , I just don't think KJ is that kind of player where he is going to be some scoring machine. I don't think Coach has him on the floor for- -I think he has him out on the floor because of everything else he does. - - -He can guard 1 through 4 and do a good job at it- - - He really shouldn't have to be counted on to score much more then what he si -- he averages I think right at 9 points a game.-- That's why Coach went into the portal and got these other guys -- they are suppose to help hunter in the scoring aspect of the game- -that's what Rylan - - AJ - - & Zeke were brought in for, -KJ - guards and guards well. KJ is not afraid to go to the floor for loose balls - more just hustle- - -does the dirty work then anything - I think KJ catch's a lot of unwarranted flack -- KJ is who he is - -just not a big time scorer that's all my friend

So I have a question, and need people to be really honest. -I've heard mentioned a couple of times talking about the Big twelve this Season and still saying that the Big Twelve was the best conference in the Nation this year. -- -Now honestly how many people actually believe that the Big Twelve is the best Basket ball conference this year ?- I just can't agree - - not this year, true we have been but not this year, and I can't actually believe people can believe that - -where is the proof?

I think for THIS YEAR anyways that yes the SEC is the better Conference, the league is brutal.- -Yet I wanna hear how many here actually believe that we are still the best Conference , cause I haven't seen it-- Sooo speak up what do you say ?

@Kcmatt7 Swain is saying that preferably they will go after one more WR

@rockchalkjayhawk Not to worry I;m quite sure we will be able to find somebody that we can crao[ p on surely

@Texas-Hawk-10 Coach said he is fine , just a knot above the eye, made reference to Rocky 2 lol, Said he should be fine though, can still see fine so not to bad

Mercy Flory has some hops

I think Zeke is making the transition to higher level ball pretty well, been stroking the ball and rebounding pretty well especially these last couple of games,-v--I also thinking might be just me but think AJ played a little better, slowly seeing some signs of better. -Aj with 20 minutes today -- - Hunter 24 , Juan 24, Rylan 16 -- Coit 17 , Moore 14, working his way in

Actually I would like to see a little deeper bench this year like he has been working on. Like to see nine deep, think Juan better with fresher legs - -give hunter more rest if possible. - -I just think we might be able to have a nice rotation with these guys - -something we sure didn't have last year

Better hold onto your butts- -they are at Def-Con 5 down the interstate , at the craphouse in the street.- -they as fans are ready to lynch the players, the Coach's- saying they invested all this NIL money, being told to expect parades , championships etc , etc- - -they say around 5 million payout total- -Lordy have Mercy it's a dark Sunday in CrapHattan

Ok I'm going to try and say this nicely so some here won't think I'm to hard on K/State- - --THEY SUCK- - -ooops wait sorry.

Seriously though they have some real issues, look just look disorganized , I know this much for sure Coleman Hawkins right now anyways looks like a walking disaster. -- His decision making, more then ever his shot selection , some of his shots , you think Coach Self is had on AJ /Rylan -- psssst if Hawkins was on the KU roster and was taking some of the shots he is taking for K/State ? - -his ass would be on the bench and he would never see daylight again. - -I mean just some horrific shots. Bottom line they have issues, sure don't think they are getting their money from Hawkins.

OK I said I'd try to be nice- - I will say this it looks to me they do have a good player, name of Rich. Kid I guess hasn't played a lot but came of the bench and played well , got extended playing time , scored twenty for K/State. Out played everyone else for K/State that's for sure. Hit a couple of Three's - -got rebounds- - couple of flushes ,some nice finish- -kid gonna be ok I think

@AsadZ Just blistered Baylor so athletic & fast

Glad to see Jo , Jo and Kelly teaming up and doing well.-- - Last Night Jo , Jo 34 points - -9 assists- - -& 5 rebounds. - --Kelly 22 points- - 4-6 from three point I think 8 rebounds ?

Looks like Kelly & Jo Jo both need to take some of their money and get a haircut lol. - -Jo , Jo wearing aface shield- -what the hell happened now, Big man always getting hurt

Zuby is one that got away, needed more court time-- -now we see why, really posting some good numbers would of taken for sure. --- -St John's 10-2-- Zuby 2nd leading scorer for them-- averaging 14.6 per game-- right at 8 rebounds a game -2.3 blocks per game -- and shooting 58 % from the field- - yes he has or averages 2.2 turnovers per contest- -but I could live with that with what he contributes.- -I think the good out weighs the bad for sure , glad he is doing well.

@wissox Mercy he has turned out to be a good player for sure-- wish he would of stayed

@FarmerJayhawk said in Offseason Roster Thread:

@SlimShaddy54 Hishaw should be back

Well that would be a nice bonus, I think you put him and Williams together nice tandem , still think we have a couple of younger guys Stewart and hell what's the other one ? - -Johnny something can't remember his name. I think were set pretty decent

@FarmerJayhawk That's great, that's like I said earlier, I think probably our biggest need now. They have done pretty good with Defense got some LB's Safety , DL.- -they have had a great portal - - solid anyways,

Farmer have you heard anymore on HiShaw is he returning or not.- -I know or people thought he was done, but lately been seeing he might be back. What have you heard ? -- Anything at all ?- -could sure use him.

Swain was saying on a podcast last night that KU probably going to end up with like 21-22 portal players

@DCHawker , they doing ok this year- -but like the phrase I heard in this movie and works well for the SEC this year, The way you got to look at it is The moon even has to shine on a dog's ass SOMETIME lmao

Well I see that Coach L - -& staff have had decent day today picking up our 13th & 14th commits.

First we got a big TE think he is 6'6 can add help for sure to the TE room , he will have one year of eligibility - then we got what I think anyways will help for sure, although maybe not next yr as he is still considered a Freshman and will have four years left. - - His name is Caleb Redd 6'3 and 2230 pounds might be nice to add maybe 5 more pounds or so but was considered a 4* coming out of high school; had offers from Nebraska , Oklahoma , Oregon , UDC , And Wisconsin coming out -sounds like he might have a bright future,

The one thig I think that becomes more of a priority then any position more so now is WR -- just have the one commit at this point, a big need at that position.- - -At this point Rivals has us as the 5th best recruiting class in the portal-- -doing well

r

@Jhawk69 All I know is solid player and word is should help that position for sure. Don't know a bunch but for what it's worth was a 4 * coming out of High School , transfer out of Arizona

@FarmerJayhawk oh , ok thanks

@FarmerJayhawk sorry I'm not sure what pivia is bud ?

Pretty big ruling today from the Courts. - They have established that College kids that playing sports will retain all 4 years of eligibility even if they play a couple of years of Junior College ball.

Like the post said , you might see more and more kids going this route.

@AsadZ didn't realize they had - -Got a nice pitcher and a nice bullpen player- - Starter I think name is Freed I think from the brewers

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Other Football Games of Interest:

Shout out to hutch jr college for winning nationals. 🏈❤️💙🐉

Always had a pretty dang strong program- -at least always did when I lived not far from them- -Congrads

Xavier giving U Conn everything you want on U Conn home floor- -78-78 Overtime starting - -22 lead changes great game

@nuleafjhawk simple question - -did you watch the game ? - -did you see how God Awful they played in that first half - -just like we have in certain portions and KU people think the world is coming to an end -- the fricken sky is falling.-- They are fricken lucky they made it to over time which by the way they still lost lmao.- -A loss , is , a loss , is a loss, is a loss. - -These clowns lost to Fort Hays St for GOD'S sakes. Can you imagine if we lost to Fort Hayes State , it would be all over ESPN , CBS Sports, hell if we lose a couple of games, bog down in a game a lot of people including some here think the world is coming to an end-- -the dam sky is falling , oh let's just drop Basketball - Some morons want us to have a perfect year EVERY YEAR, news flash that crap isn't happening.

Again I ask you did you see any of that game?K/State had no answer for Drakes Mascari - like he way toying with them, you see him laughing after he drilled three, after three , after three,. you think if you were the opposition you might want to try an have a guy on him like glue- most his three's wide open and deep threes 6-6 at one point.

Did you read some of the game line I mentioned ? - -Then you ask how can it be that bad -- lol , come on seriously. K/State for the most part looked pathetic looked lost- Hawkins doing his Hawkins BS - you paid WHAT for him in NIL again lol ? you have K /State fans sending their players messages on their phones and making comments like I hope you break your leg-- WTF is that ?- - (,400 to watch that game- -their fans aren't showing 9,400 est at the game last night that's including the Drake fans., their fans saying they wouldn't expect that many at their home court, talking about how Tang doesn't have a clue

Ya contrary to somes belief that was a sad display for a college basketball team period.
Had to edit -- my mistake, my bad I was wrong , they didn't lose to Fort Hays State- -just a fan of theirs being a blow hard - -who would of thunk it lol

@MR11 Don't even trip -- Not happening

So we as KU fans are spoiled, were use to nothing but great- -solid right ? We feel we bog down, just sloppy at times , we say all kinds of things , we lash out at things -- at different people- -Well guess what we could be like that so called team to the west of Lawrence about 50 miles- -you think we look bad ? - Sloopy ?- -did anyone happen to catch that mess with KSU & Drake last night ? - lmao and last night isn't the only time this has happened. OMG these guys are Bad , I mean REALLY BAD. let me give some recap of how bad they were for most of the 1st half.

They played this in KC.- - Attendance was like 9,400 about 1/2 full some of their fans said and that was with the Drake fans included which they had a decent following, - -- So Drake starts the game with an 11- -- - 0 run , - KSU forced to take TO- -KSU starts out with a 5 1/2 minute stretch to start the game without scoring. During this stretch in the 1st half KSU has 6 turnovers- -- & 0 -- -7 from the three lol. -- - - At the 11;48 mark of the first half the Score was Drake 14 - - KSU - 4 , with 7;39 mark left in the first half the Score was Drake 25 - -KSU - 8 - - Finally with 5:27 left in the first half KSU did break the over 10 point mark with a score of 12- -it capped off with Drake being up 29-9 at one point.

Now I guess give them some credit they did finally come around and had the deficit down to 9 at the half , played eh ok in the 2nd half but still lost 73-70 , as they reverted back to the way only KSU can play - -or not lol -nobody wanted to take the shot- Tang got Teed up-- -Again, That guy has real problems , hearing he and the transfer from Michigan ? -McDougal ? Guard ? aren't getting along. -- Bottom line is right now anyways they flat suck. - -I think one of their fans was saying well at least not as embarrassing to lose to Drake like what happened against Fort Hays - - Did KSU lose to Fort Hays State ? - -OMG

Her is one ofthe things I really like about Mercer. True freshman-- making All American, but what I really like is he took 565 snaps- - - -gave up ZERO SACKS in those snaps --and only gave up three pressures- - pretty dam decent. -- He chose North Texas over eighteen other D-1 offers

we now stand at Seven out -- - Damon Graeves entered portal-- - and TWELVE IN Oh ya almost forgot - - Coach L' and the staff our weakness is w can't recruit lol.

Hey Farmer Jayhawk m buddy I'm trippin- - the Staff is just absolutely killin it.- - Three Portal commits today which one Tyler Mercer is a true Freshman All American

Got another on a visit right now WR from Alabama would be really killer to get out Second commit from the portal from Alabama his Name is Emmanuel Henderson- -their people saying he is going to be really good.

Then another bonus got a High School kicker to commit today also from Branson Missouri - -Dane Efird -- has video of him kicking 48 yard and 54 yard Field Goal and a 73 yard kick - -off I would be fine with that, give some time add a little more strength- -Hell ya

Well last count now Six out -- not doing to badly there so far - -- - We got Nine incoming as of right now

@BeddieKU23 Agreed

@Crimsonorblue22 ya that makes some sense

My only question to this is why is he doing this now ? -- if he is going to redshirt why not next Season ? - - -not meaning no harm , no foul , genuinely curious and don't understand.- the reasoning behind it.

Guess I'm just an old worry wert. -Was worried my Packers was gonna lose against Seattle last night at Seattle- - not to worry , they play well 5 30-13. Mercy that place was loud - -well for about the first quarter and a half -- then not so much.

What really surprised me was when the Pack scored our first TD, it sounded like there was as many Packer fans there as SeaHawk fans --Did a really good job of pressure on the QB last night had seven sacks

Huge get - -Huge get- -got a commitment for Jahil Hurley coming from Alabama -- DB- -6'2 - -185 , will have 3 years of eligibility - -top 50 recruit in 2023 - - Hell ya

Huge win for the Ladies, honestly I thought we was done, when we went down 11-12 in the 3rd quarter.- -Ya that girl was 6'6 and big , you wasn't moving her once she posted deep that's for sure. - - Smya with 26 for the good guys & Copeland with a huge three at the end.- -we only made 2- 10 three's for the game but the last one was huge obviously.- - Ku now 10-1 on the year. Great Job ladies , way to stay with it.
