Like was pointed out 300 millon reno can make a HUGE difference a poster on another site showed the 13 most expensive reno's and ummmm - -- - ya It can make a HUGE or be a HUGE recruiting tool. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@HawksWin Isn't tonight when the draft is? - - I was thinking it was tonight? - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well while we have another commit, we also have another - - - - -De-Commit

Nick Williams a 6'8 - - - 260 lb OL out of St Louis committed yesterday, a 3 Star, that was ranked 13th out of Missouri. - -Had offers from KSU- - -Minnesota, Purdue , Illinois and others. - -Not bad. - -Thing is 6'8 - -and 260? - - seems a little lean for his height doesn't it? - - Maybe not.

BUT on the other end, feeling kind of down, kind of depressed. - - I mean we all knew this could happen, just hope we can cut it off at the head before it becomes a runaway freight train.

Aaron Brule the safety from Louisiana de-committed a 3 star. - -My fear is when there is de-committements from there that slows our momentum we had with the other kids from La. - -Hopefully we can hang on to the other 3 that came from there this year - - going to be really hard especially when the high school season starts.

With the announcement from Zenger yesterday about a 300 million dollar renovation should really help in the recruiting, 300 million can make a lot of difference in the stadium and recruiting purposes. - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@KUSTEVE I hear ya on that. - - I hate these summer months. - - So ready for some B-Ball and even when Italy does arrive - - it's only like what - -4 games? - -just to tease lol - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya that doesn't surprise us at all right? - - I mean like WHO could of ever seen that coming? - - -I wonder just how much input his assistants have a say in the matter, Danny is one of the Assistants, I'm betting not very much. -- How convienent for all the recruits he is after to make the cut. - - It's ok though it's called Karma, and it WILL come around - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Well that sounds interesting. - -So talk to me is this guy legit? must be decent enough if We hollering, sounds like his interest is pretty legit with us. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 ya, true - -I wasn't really aware he had been on our campus as of yet, but would be good like you say get him back with the parents for one of his 5 officals. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark One thing some thought was interesting was - -No mention of Matthew Hurt or RJ Barrett, wondered what was going on there? - - The article said there would be named later but - -I too thought Hurt was pretty good for us guess we shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

quite a few names made contact with on Thursday. - - I don't believe there is any chance for either Lewis OR Antoine Those two that I feel 100% chance that we don't have a chance for period. - - -Earl, Harvey, Lawson, & maybe Haggins feels pretty good about. - - -What you feeling?- - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark You know things have kind have turned in my thinking of who might land here recently. - -As much as I am a Dotson fan - - I feel we might be losing him, as where as I not that I wasn't a fan - -but just felt like we may not have as good of chance BUT now I'm feeling more and more like we indeed may end up with Grimes, nothing really to back my thinking but other then his mama wants him here I think

I think Devon really wanted to come here BUT I think maybe he might and I'm just blowing hot air here but maybe he is seeing all the other pg's in the pic and now these other schools gaining ground - -I'm NOW thinking could be we end up with Carey and Grimes - -but who am I? lol - - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Yes Dixon has made a difference already. - -I knew when TCU hired him he was gonna be a nice get for them. - -I have always liked him - -I just think it just makes this league just that much more competitive - -I think he may make some noise - -can't wait for the season seeking another title - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well just read that the KU football picked up a late un-expected addition for this years squad.

Andru Tovi a 3 star former Juco OL - - 6'4- -330 lbs from Pima CC. He is already enrolled in classes at KU and has been working out with the team a KU official confirmed.

He will play this fall for the current squad as a Sophomore as a walk on. - - had offers from San Diego State, Fresno State, & Utah State - -also interest from Arizona & Arizona State. - be nice help on the offensive line - -big boy. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well I posted earlier that Naz Reid from everything I had heard was more likely then not was head to Louisville, - -Anyone wanting to lay down a bet now lol? - -

With Louisville going on 4 yrs probation and all I don't think so. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I actually thought if these things were as bad as it's suppose to be - -He would be ban for MORE then 5 games - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Read off zagsblog today, That Naz Reid & Jahvon Quinerly have talked about going to a school as a package. More and more of this happening all the time

I had read or at least thought I had that we might be in decent shape with Quinerly - - I know we made the final 7 on both of their list.

The article says that the schools that both are being recruited by are:
Arizona, KU, Seton Hall & UCLA. - - I think it's been a pretty well know or at least thought to have been that Reid was leaning pretty heavy towards Louisville, so if they thinking package then Quinerly gonna have to start showing interest with them.

Reid being involved with Louisville - - things might change there though. I know, we not getting these guys but just thought kind of interesting 1st I had heard about package - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man - - tell me I've got WAY to much crimson flowing out my eyes , I understand , BUT guys I'm tellin ya - - after watching that video , and yes I know it was a high light video but man , I'm telling ya watching I think that if all falls right we have a chance to be scary good.

Now and the upcoming 2018 at least. - - watching I mea like was brought up about wanting to see Billy Preston how he handled the ball dribbling etc and if I'm not mistaking I'm sure it was him around the 2:05 mark in the video he left someone standing holding their strap lol. awesome spin move - -plus looks like since the last time I saw him in game action ya know like the McDonalds and such - -looks like he might have added a little bulk. Like was mentioned really like how he was playing inside.

Moore showed up a little bit - -look pretty decent, - - Udoka being Udoka - -- guys we have some pieces - -a lot of pieces I think we gonna be fine.

League will be well some will be better this year , I think actually we gonna get a nice push from Texas this year, West Virginia will be there, - - TCU - - -gonna be decent this year - -Won the NIT last year and got a lot back this year - -Texas Tech gonna be decent But I still after watching and absorbing I think my train of thought? - You want the Big 12 Championship? - - COME GET SOME- we here at the Phog, - -we be right here, we be waitin. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@approxinfinity I just think it might be interesting to see just where and when Mitch fits THIS year. - - MAYBE they play him more in the Non -Con get some minutes work on his shot some more when there of course. Like it's stated I think his issue is he has got to add bulk.

I think the bulk is as big of problem for him as anything, because as far as the other - -I don't think anyone will doubt his heart and toughness even for his size. - -hope for the best, if he can give us a few more quality minutes this year, just ice cream topping for us. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well, looking for some answers -hoping I can get some feed back, I'm sure pretty simple but yet - -it's one of those things that make you go hmmmm.

The guys had their 2nd Camp scrimmage today. - -The Teams consisted of on the Red team: - Newman, Udoka, Preston, Graham, Vick, Young, & Garrett.

The Blue team: Taylor, Johnson, Self, Moore, Cunliffe D Lawson & Lightfoot.

Ok now the puzzling part, and fully understand it was scrimmage But guess who the leading scorer for the Blue team was? - - - -Mitch Lightfoot. - - -22 points. - - 22 points playing against pretty much isn't it pretty well considered the 1st team unit? - - Again true - just a scrimmage - -but STILL. As a matter of fact Mitch lead ALL scorers from either team.

Now I know we all have pretty much hinted - -tossed out Mitch was going to be at the bottom coming off the bench - -But Damm I mean scrimmage or not - -22 points coming against that group of guys? HOW? - -I will say this, every time when Mitch got on the floor in the limited time he was on I felt he gave it his all - -full of energy - -hustle - -scrappy. - -ya he got beat on the D at times - -but he also blocked a few shots, rebounded, diving for loose balls. I just felt that if he can put on some weight- bulk up a bit - then he might surprise us some - - pleasantly surprise - -I mean no world beater but better then what we might of given him credit for.

Might be able to help us a little more then what we thought - -I never did question his competiveness. - Like I said maybe there is an easy answer BUT like I said he was going against what I think we figure is going to be the starters for the most part, - -soo help me out. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@dylans Ya I understand where your coming from for sure on this. Sounds about right. - -I'm really liking our football chances what was that song use to go - - -MOVIN ON UP - - -TO THE EAST SIDE - -LOL - -what was that show? - -The Jeffersons? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 Ya, so in some, not saying all then, do you think it's more of a case of the player recruiting the school - -or the school recruiting the player or maybe a little bit of both? - -I guess what I'm asking is so like would there be case with some of these where like KU might really might not even be recruiting the kid, but he lists us anyways? - -see what I'm trying to say? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I read articles on a couple of players see if anyone else has heard of these guys. - -

1st one is Eric Yala - - Although I guess in a way he wouldn't fir for us, - -well not this year cause he is talking about maybe re classifying he is like a 2017/18 player.

He is a 6'4 swing guard - -list schools Arizona, Oregon , Miami , Syracuse , /Indiana , /LSU , U Conn , And KU. Says he has like over 25 offers and probably will cut list by the end of July.

Would this be someone we might be interested for 2018? Comes out of Putman Science Academy in Conn.

The other player sounds really sweet - Probably Big time, doesn't list us right now but early his name is Kofi Cockburn - -6'11 from Kenya.

He is a 2019 player, article talks about how he destroyed 5 star Bol , Bol in their encounter a double double guy - -Moses Brown was saying that he was bigger Brown that is ) - -but Brown said Cockburn was definitely was more physical.

Here is something about him though found kind of interesting. - He states he is looking where he can go where no drinking - - no partying - - no smoking environment - -so he can focus on basket ball and the NBA. - -My initial thought was - -ya good luck finding a place like that. - -Is THIS someone you think we might try and get involved on? -Holler guys. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark You know, that has been my thought exactly on a lot of different occasions - -just like you state. We are or make the so called cuts on a lot of these guys, but yet we all seem to pretty well know that in the end we are not going to be their destination.

It's kind of odd, I have tried referring these thoughts before and we have talked. It is just the random thoughts and like I've said and I know in reality just seems we are not closing. I know that's not all of it - -but maybe to an extent - -just teases -like you say a lot of times they have no intentions of visiting or coming here lmao. - but ya I hear ya bud - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Been a great day, - -Hope everyone has a great night Thanks. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark A nd you are absolutely correct - - -ding, ding, ding - -we have a winner lmao. - - ANY Duke or Kentucky games on tonight? - -how's recruiting going for ya lmao - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@DoubleDD do you see how whiny snively you sound? - Like OH well you don't play nice I'm taking my ball and I'm going home - - holy crap man are all fans as paranoid as you? - -jesus craps - I I knew you was gonna get your pants all twisted up over something so trival - -what do you do when it's something really serious? - -Just let it go for crap sakes - - Although will continue to say just more or less proves my point - yep thin skinned the sun still coming up tomorrow - -you gonna be a right. have a great night - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Really a very good article today on Devonta. They talking about how alot of Coaches and Schools don't really believe Devonta will end up at KU. - -In the aticle Devonta says - -it really didn't get to me when mentioned - -he says he knew KU was 2-10 last year and 0-12 the year before. He stated It's not really about what School you go to, or being a big fish in a big pond. It's about your future and making an impact on your life. It's about being known and recognized.

So it says unlike so many other players if they received an offer from KU - -un-like offers that get tossed on a pile on the floor, he wanted to come and see what it was about - He like it - -His mother Tamara fell in love on the trip to KU also. Devonta said he spent time with Coach Beaty who outlined his vison for the future and how Devonta would fit in. - - -He sat down with new ofensive coordinator Doug Meacham who is known as one of the brightest young offensive minds and they watched film of what his role would be in the new offense. He talked with Tony Hull who played a significant role in making the Connection in the first place.

Devonta said even being as far away as he was from home - - " It still felt like home" Devonta and Corione bought into the future of KU. - Says ya still getting calls & texts from Coaches to see where he stands, just how serious he is on his commitment.

Devonta says he plans to take his offical visits this fall and by NO MEANS shut down this line of communication ( This statement here makes me really nervous )

Devonta plans to graduate early and offically sign with his school in Decemeber in the new rule early signing ( This is a good sign hopefully get him on Campus early and not have to worry )

Devonta says in order to sway him he says it will require the perfect match - - a mix of comfort and offensive promise that can trump KU that they have presented thus far. - - His mother will have to be swayed too.

Many assume this clas will unravel and Devonta will ultimately sign with an Ala, or LSU - and all recruiting will be restored to normal -OR he might just be that Uni Corn it says. - -Right now KU is working on one of it's best recruiting classes they say in the history of the program - we shall see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@brooksmd LMAO, That's kind of what we were hoping for so tell me please - - -WHY are you still here lmao?

You see unlike you there are some here that believe it or not have gotten to know me, who knows I have some edge to me - -they know how I like to rub them and they give it right back - we can do that, I'm really sure they don't REALLY take this that serious or by any means personal. They can throw a jab - -and they in turn can take a jab.

Not everything here has to be so dead serious all the time, I like to cut up, some of these people have come to figure that out - -just sorry there are some just not that quick.

EVERYONE knows that not everyone is going to cheer for the same team in ANY sport College wise or Professional - if we all did what fun would there be in that? - This whole thread was started to just paste time out of boredom - I put what I put out and the guys responded is it personal - -serious? - - I don't think so, just having a good time, but some need to lighten up -enjoy life - and not be so quick to judge people.

B-shark - - MayJay I'm so sorry if you took this personal - -offended you or hurt your feelings - -wasn't meant to do that - but since you need to ignore as the great wise one has spoken - just wanted to let you know - -just messin lol - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well read today that Coach has gotten 3 more verbals. All defensive line players. - 2 Juco's and one high School

Josh Smith 6'4 - -247 lbs DL out of the same High School as Devonta - -and Coraine - - comes from Landry Walker. - -Three star offers from Houston, Iowa State and others

Then 2 juco players - -same juco: Jonathan Lolohea , and Charles Cameron. - - - Lolohea is 6'3 - -305 DL - -offers from Arizona , Colorado , KSU , Louisville , TCU and others

Cameron is 6'3- - -290 DL had offers from Colorado , Louisville and others

Rivals as of yesterday now has us as the # 12 team ranking and - -247 has us as the # 20 - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay SEE - - I KNEW I could get under the Royals thin skin roflmao - -hell didn't even take near as long as what I thought it would, gave you to much credit I guess lmao. Well my job is done here lol, mercy it's almost comical.

You have NO IDEA about me being a Yankee fan so don't even try. You sound like my daddy - -he was such a Homer - -just because I live in Kansas has NOTHING to do with what team I pull for. My brother and I both our daddy would sob us this story - - OH WELL you need to pull for your home team - -and we say to that Bull shit. - the more he said we needed to pull for the Athletics the more we pulled for New York -Always have Always will.

Pulled for them even when they struggled the last few years. As far as The Yankees losing one more World Series games - -come holler at me when KC appears in as many as the Yankees have then we can talk.

As far as the Money they have - -Is it New York's fault they are in a lot bigger Market? - Are they suppose to say well OOOPS now, we have more money so let's play nice and not try to get certain players. - -Are you trying to tell me if the table was reversed that the all mighty KC wouldn't do the identical bullshit - -get out of here with that feeble crap.

Also if you remember - when the whole free agency market stated the Royals actually offered Catfish Hunter better deal - -better money and he said - - ummm thanks - -but no thanks he knew whee the better future was/is. - -but it's ok - -call it - -twist it -whine about it - -money, market whatever you want to play up as an excuse -it's all good let it out - -your gonna be all right - just remember to breath - GOTTA LOVE it - -I knew I could get some hot stated - didn't take near as long as I though lol - -swing on by I will go to the dollar store and buy a box of hankies - -ou can have them -FOR FREE lmao - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark and UMM no sparky, no band wagon fan here I've been a Yankee fan for over 50 yrs, - -Whitey ford, umm Ron Guidry - - -Tommy Tresh , Joe Pepitone , Bobby Richardson , Clete Boyer , Roger ?Maris - -Mickey Mantle , Mel Stottemeyer, Yogi Berra Thurmun Munson Don Mattingly, believe me as little as we have lost I was still there even when WE DID lose - - remind me where you hide your jersey again lmao -don't even trip another 20 yrs and you can wear it again. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Buddy you just hang in there like I said you'll be ok - -roflmao- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark ROFLMAO - -and this right here - -is why I love being a Yankee fan, cause when the Royals flash in the pan for one year MAYBE two, it's really comical because the fair weather fans pull out their faded out dusty crusty blue Royals 1910 jersey's and beat their chest and talk ALL kinds of smack. - -Then reality sits in, Things return back to the norm and out of fantasy then the same fans very quietly hang up those same little jerseys so MAYBE 20-30 yrs down the road they might be able to see if those same beat up worn out jerseys still fit and thump their chest again - -roflmao - -I just let these guys actually prove my case for me - -fantasy - reality - -meanwhile back at the Ranch My Yankees just continue to pile up world Championships lmao.- -only thing need to say if you wanna try and debate the better teams - the proof is right there it's ok go ahead and look lmao. - -BUT really it's ok cause have you ever heard - -Success brings envy - -lol, your gonna be all right, - -maybe though there might be someone out there that can answer me a question - enquiring minds wanna know. - They keep saying that KC is gonna have a major league baseball team - can you tell me is that the truth or is just some BS, I mean just sayin that's what the big boys keep telling people - just wondering WHEN? - -roflmfao. - -it's ok though - -just remember to breathe - -breathe in -breathe out - -breathe in - -breathe out - -Basketball coming lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

ya, I know ya all big Royals fans, but I have got to give MY BOYS some love too.

My Yankees are doing really well 36-23 right now, ahead in todays game. - -Everyone thought they were about 1 yr away yet from making noise and being serious contenders again - -now people saying they may have arrived a year early. - - They are so young - -just babies - -BUT they have some Beasts, lots of power all through the line up.

They are 2nd in the majors in Batting avg , 273, - - 1st in OBP - -348,- -1st in Slugging pct- - 470- - Tied for 1st- - Hr- -98- - 2nd in runs - 339 - -6th- - in total hits - -525 - - & tied for 2nd in Rbi's - -321

Ya very long season we are only 60 games in BUT at least gives me something to try and keep my attention in others wise BS summer, I think they gonna be all right -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Man - - this is why I can't stand the summer months. - -NOTHING worth of interest. - -Looking for some help guys, someone feed me something to build my interest through the summer. - Not only dead for our boys - -basketball -but really not much football wise either.

Nothing really on the recruiting front, Heard Grimes and Dotson bother were suppose to trim their schools soon - -but still nothing in that regard yet - -just dull boring - hot sweaty days - -About all I can do is sit back under the shade tree and drink some beet and let my mind wander for fall - - -HELP. - -lol - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Mercy, it never ends. I ALWAYS like to go and read OTHER boards also. - -well UK at it again.

Now since of Course Cal offered Bol, Bol, and they automatically thinks that makes him a Wildcat, - -they just start blowing the guy - - -off the charts. - -Before you start, I know he really wanted to get out of the state of Kansas, and yes I realize he isn't coming here, that's not the part that I'm wanting to talk about.

It's just now that these fans of theirs a soon as that find out UK has offered the recruit becomes the 2nd coming. Exp - - -a individual wondering when the Kevin Durant comparisons begin? - -another says don't really think you can compare as Bol , Bol , is already 4-5 inches taller then Durant he says - -Says Bol , Bol about to open a WHOLE new Stratosphere - -roflmao.

Is he good? - -ya he is good? - -But you would think by the way these idiots talk - -well just un-describle. - -I tell ya the way people make these kids out to be God's - -no wonder a lot of these kids heads are sooo messed up. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark whoaaaa, I'm afraid I would have to disagree -I sincerely would hope your wasn't even trying to say even at this point that he not very good . - -THAT would be a very bad mistake.

The kid is LEGIT - without his year to tone, no matter what the league. If you wanna base his talent level off the competition he is playing against, then I guess you would almost have to say the same thing against every OAD coming into College - -these superstars, How much do you grade their talents depending on the competition they play against in high school - -AAU. - I don't think that train of thought holds much value.

About the only thing I can tell you is when it's his time to ball - - just sit back and enjoy, your going to be in for some real time game. I've seen him play many many times - he has all the talent needed to be a stud at ANY level. KU got a real gift when he chose to come here.

As far as awards, he is graded by media and coaches just like anywhere else, It is highly reguarded all around the sports nation that KU indeed got probably the biggest haul of the year when the Lawson's committed to come to KU. - This is not just local bias - this is Nation wide experts. - -So ya to say that maybe he is over rated or not as good - - umm maybe I mis-understood but looked like that what you might be trying to say - -but I know your not serious - -the kid is for real. - -you can mark it down he is a walking double double no matter he plays - -very legit. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 No, I have dish network I don't believe it was on there anywhere. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 Someone like Steere possibly, he is not a huge quality guy - -goog but probably a 3-4 yr player might land him . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 YEP - - -Score one for the ladies - -let the recruits get a really good feel of the campus when EVERYONE is here your right, I by far not saying I'm right for sure - just curious your probably right - -makes sense - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 You would be a main focus, as a recruit during that time. - -Coach Self have his time to talk to you during that time, show you the facilities, discuss his plan for you as a player if you commit , Then come time for the scrimmage he turn them loose to watch the scrimmage pretty much as they have recruits watch late night - you still have your time with Coach. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@mayjay Ya, you might be right by those might be classified as an official visit. Although what I was really trying to say is if these recruits could possibly come in to watch like the game was played last night. Have future recruits watching like current Jayhawks play against Alumi - -don't really think KU staff was coaching I think it was in reality a glorified pick up game - -no Coaching staff present. I know Coach Self couldn't be there to watch the game/coach at all last night because of NCAA reg. So was thinking as I know there are recruits that come for un-offical before they make their official some times. - So I was thinking as like last night before the scrimmage started - -Coach could spend time talking to the recruit, I know there is a dead period I believe where the Coach can not have direct contact with recruits, not sure if this would fall in that frame or not, but if it didn't have him talk before the scrimmage, and then let them watch the scrimmage - -talk to current players - I dunno - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 I AM NOT SO SURE IF HE IS that BUSY where he couldn't spend SOME time with them -if not him then the assistants maybe. - -I know for the scrimmage last night he divided the teams and then said HIS current team BETTER WIN - - then he left per NCAA rules it was stated. So since he left why couldn't he take some time then to show the recruit/recruits around, talk to them some - -then turn them over so they could watch the scrimmage? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
