BOLDEN?- - - - - -JACKSON? • Oct 07, 2015 02:30 PM

@BeddieKU23 No I don't believe that at all, as far as that goes I know its not that one sided, he was very solid with us for quite some time, and its NOT just Arizona he is visiting, he has listed 2 schools Ku & Arizona was quoted saying these are the 2 schools he really wants to visit. Ya much more concerned about Mich State then Arizona he has cooled on them ya still interested but the lead for him has closed considerably , Now do I think he will end up here? probably not, but have to strongly disagree we are a distant 3rd

BOLDEN?- - - - - -JACKSON? • Oct 06, 2015 09:32 PM

dam guys, I know this i'm sure not getting a good feel as I once had on Bolden, talking up to much about Kentucky & Duke both same ol story about how they get their bigs in the pro's, talking about a January decision I dunno just not getting a good feel now, just like Fergurson at one time looked solid KU I STILL don't understand what it is, someone is NOT getting the job done, not selling the school hard core enough, we shouldn't have to see our program, this program should speak well enough for it's self now Jackson on the other hand getting a better feel for, looks like we have as good a chance as landing him as anyone, ya Michigan State making some push but Arizona is not near as solid as they were, I saw where he says 2 schools for sure he wants to visit official KU & Arizona i'm not a person who just wants to grab a body , but like some have said I've watched last year and now this year and other elite schools are getting their commits eary and I challenge anyone to say we are below anyone, I think we stand right there with ANYBODY so what is it? I still say they have some dead weight on the recruiting front just frustrating we shall see. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

MAN i had no idea • Sep 28, 2015 01:12 PM

@BeddieKU23 very true, with the Duke commitment yesterday, and more then likely giles I STILL feel pretty confident on Bolden if we can get Bolden & Azubuike or Bolden & Herarld or Even Azubuike and Herarld I think we will be fine but like our chances with Bolden, Also saw this morning looks like the gap has been closed between us and Arizona for Josh Jackson, although it looks more of a crap shoot no more then ever with him, looks like he is still WIDE open it now shows Ariz 31% KU 23% and then Mary 15% , and Michigan St 15% and this recruiting analyst predicting Mich St, so we shall see ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Greener Grass.... • Sep 26, 2015 01:47 PM

@JayHawkFanToo you also have to ask yourself, like you say this kid is a 2 star juco , when these lists come out you have to remember who makes the list? is it the player or the college? Just because a player can rip off a long list of top flite colleges and say OH all these schools are recruiting me, REALLY? are they really? or are YOU recruiting the college? or make it look as much, how much interest does KU or any major power in college basketball as far as that goes REALLY have interest in kids like this? true in some cases yes they do have that interest, but in the majority its the player making HIS LIST of ideal schools that he would love to have recruiting him or ideally would love to play for. I'm 61 yrs old and been a lofe time Jayhawk fan, and you have to go quite aways back, to the last time any coach at KU was seriously that interested in a 2 star player, maybe even as far back as Coach Owens, I'm pretty sure you didn't see Larry recruiting 2 star, I don't think Mark T was even a 2 star or Cedric, I'm pretty sure Roy didn't and I'm dam sure Bill hasn't so again kind of like you said not really sure how interested KU actually was in this player, especially a juco. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

MAN i had no idea • Sep 25, 2015 01:57 AM

@drgnslayr Good point bud, maybe we are, could be for some reason Bolden doesn't want to come if we do, could be we end up with Udoka, Scheinder Herarld, and possibly Lightfoot, that wouldn't necessarily be a terrible thing, true Bolden more of the immediate impact player, but those three I believe cdould really add to the program over the period of time. If lets say Lightfoot would commit here, I think your looking at a 3-4 yr player Herarld is a 3-4 yr player & Udoka is probably a 2-3 yr player guess we just have to wait and see.

guys, going to late night again, but of course getting their way early, ypou have to, to get a seat. my question is what do people do about restroom facilities? i'm sure they have to have something available for the public if your there all day right? Also, your not allowed any drinking cups from the outside to enter the field house are you? what about liquid during the day? thanks let me know guys greatly appreciated. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

little question guys • Sep 23, 2015 05:50 PM

@BeddieKU23 his son didn't have a boy?

little question guys • Sep 23, 2015 12:46 PM

@BeddieKU23 ya I realize we not really interested. More then anything was just curious if he was related to Norm Cook that played for us many many years ago, really good player he was out of St Louis also

little question guys • Sep 22, 2015 08:37 PM

this is pretty simple, but yet I don't know, and I know my buddies I am sure can answer fro me. Is Tyler cook out of St Louis, is this boy relayed to cookie monster? I know older men in here that have been following KU basketball for sometime I'm sure will know.Cookie monster in case you don't know is Norm Cook, played for us quite sometime ago, if i'm not mistaking had quite the debut went 10-10 from the filed his 1st game, just curious if Tyler Cook was related, I know he had KU listed quite some time back, just curious guys not much else to it. thanks a lot guys ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

MAN i had no idea • Sep 18, 2015 09:08 PM

@blackmild33 don't think Bolden is as long of a shot as what you might think

MAN i had no idea • Sep 18, 2015 08:01 PM

jumpin-gee-hoosa-fats guys, I had no idea of all the recruits comin in for late night, you probably already have seen but will show anyways they are from the class of 2016- - Harry Giles , Malik Monk , DeAaron Fox , Marques Bolden , Schnider Herard and they are ranked by espn--rivals #1,5,7,20 &67 in order, then from the 2017 class we have Michael Porter , Trae Young , Jeremiah Telman , Mitchell Ballock , 2 , 23 , 25 , & 42 at this point and time and then from the class of 2018 we have Chaundee Brown , Wyatt Wilkes , Carte " Are Gordon & Courtney Ramey. 13 recruits comin in, THATS ALOT. 4 of the 5 from 2016 class is official visits, with then listing Bolden's as his official this month. All 2017 is unofficial of course, Then T.J. Leaf # 13 is coming in on the 16th of October, and they say we still have Josh Jackson to come, Braxton Blackwell, & Jarrett Allen at this point sometime which they are # 3 #66 & # 19 respectively, but that really surprised me on the number for late night. whatcha think? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Recruits this weekend • Sep 16, 2015 02:06 AM

ya, that's a new one on me too, also just saw where our in home visit is with Malik Monk tonight also, but I think he is a wrap for Arkansas

Recruits this weekend • Sep 15, 2015 08:45 PM

Great follow up guys, that's why I LOVE this site, meaningful comments, not just off the wall B.S I think the perfect scenario would to be land all 3 Azubuike, Bolden, & Herard. I do realize that probably not going to happen, but if we could get 2 out of the 3 then hell ya. Does anyone know though how he gets up and down the floor? I mean we know we are going to be pushing the ball quicker, so like this year if Cheick is eligible then no problem, because we know he can get up and down, but what about the 3 we are after for NEXT year? how do they handle the quicker pace? I mean Azubuike would be awesome, but yet if he has trouble making the transition then may not be as beneficial. just curious guys. Like has been said I believe he is a 2 even possibly 3 yr player, Scheinder is definitely a 3 yr I think, now Marques might be a push but I have no problem with having the other 2 around of 2 to 3 yrs. Also read that we now have 2 2018 high profile prospects visiting for late night anyone know who they are? man going to be ALOT of big time recruits on late night. I agree about Giles I don't feel there is any way he is coming out of Carolina BUT who knows. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Recruits this weekend • Sep 15, 2015 05:00 PM

well had talked about this guy awhile back, Udoka Azubuike 6 ft 11 260 # 27 player by rivals. coming in this weekend for his visit, I would like to see us get this guy, big and bulky, not for sure how well he runs the floor, and with the shorter clock and if we play at the faster tempo hope he has good stamina, but would love to get him think he would be a good addition, solid. Says Ku is his only visit AT THIS POINT but we all know that will change sounds like though we could be in fairly decent position right now, but again that could change very easily. Would be a good haul if we could land him and Bolden both but we shall see. Then there is Lightfoot, coming in be here Thursday, not quite sure how to read this, not real sure how serious of interest we actually have in him 6 ft 8 could be wrong but wouldn't he be playing the same spot as Carlton? Not really sure just how much he could help us, contribute, interesting recruit. Although Coach Self must be seeing something, had our in home with him and now he is coming to visit. # 118 by rivals but that could change who knows. So what you think guys? A post from another site, a poster says lets sign somebody or are we going to sign anybody in the early period this time? he wigging out, LIKE ALWAYS not a good idea to sign somebody, anybody just for the sake to say HEY we signed this kid, or that kid early, we ACTUALLY have no control over 18 yr olds thinking, if they wanna sign early then they sign early, all we can do is bring them in show the campus, the facilities, meet the coaching staff, other players that's already here, then its up to them right? but to sign somebody just to be signing somebody? ummm- - - maybe not so much. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY. thanks guys, and as usual my Jayhawk brothers are the best

I know guys not really related but thought was a little interesting, Saw a streamer today on baseball network, headlines was scrolling bottom, and our ol buddy Lawrence Phillips, former Nebraska running back made news again. He is being charged with murder in the death of his cellmate in a California prison. what a waste of talent

@drgnslayr well guy says Flordia State is leading on him right now ( Udoke ) but KU was making a hard push. I think we could have quite a combination, lloks like we are in on quite a few of bigs, which we DO need. I think Udoke, is better then Herard, but still believe he is at least a 3 year player also, there has been some talk of getting 2-3 bigs in 2016 which we are probably gonna need,so IF we could get both Azubike & Herard and then more of an elite profile as the 3rd, I know that's a big if BUT it that panned out we would be vey solid at that spot as I believe Azubike & Herard would fill in quite nicely as backup for some relief minutes get some playing time and develop would would be fine for some years to come quite solid there. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Azubike, sets visit • Sep 01, 2015 02:48 PM

@clevelandjayhawk yes, Bolden is makin 2 visits, 1 by himself and then the other at late night with others

Azubike, sets visit • Sep 01, 2015 03:08 AM

just read where Udoka Azubike has set his visit to come to Ku. he will be in the week or weekend whatever it is on the 18th of September, the same weekend T.J.Leaf Azubike is 6ft 11 and 265 pretty good size, right now says Flordia State is leading, but Ku making a strong push. we shall see.

hey guys got a question • Aug 31, 2015 02:23 PM

@BeddieKU23 Thanks for the info bud, I knew someone would come through for ol dummy me. don't know what the heck I did with the information from before, getting really old, really forgetful lol. As far as the football team I agree, I feel its going to be a l- - -ong year, feel like our best chance for a W is our 1st game. But like you I feel like THIS is the right guy, I like the connections he has, I know its a minor thing, BUT we are at least getting sniffs, looks and some visits from higher profile recruits that in the past we would of been laughed at for to even try to get their consideration. ONE is the kid right here in Kansas pretty high profile he narrowed list and we still there, true may just be courtesy, but then again who knows. another is getting again YES its a transfer but the kid From Miami and others like him. I fully believe is that WE as fans, and especially the ALUMI the boosters, have JUST GOT to be patient, as you say as depleted as we are its going to take time. definitely NOT this year, NOT next year, its about slowly improving, working at getter the better talent, building the numbers. I feel this guy definitely has the right plan, he has the backing of the players. he saturated the State of Kansas I believe they said hitting all the high schools making their presence known to the athletes something previous didn't try or at least not very hard to do. 1st step is we have to compete SHOW we have and do want the in state talent from our own state WHEN ITS THERE. we can't just give our old buddies down the pike a free pass to any talent they want within the state. Then he is building the walk on program which I heard was very successful, get some grey shirts find that diamond. Again the key is PATIENCE, you can't keep turning over every 2 to 3 years and get any continuity, yes I realize the last 2 coaches were NOT GOOD AT ALL. but it is going to take time we are rock bottom I mean rock, rock bottom, but like you I feel we have the right guy. thanks for your help and cheer the boys. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

hey guys got a question • Aug 31, 2015 12:55 PM

hey guys sorry, I have a question. Could someone please help me and tell me AGAIN when the early signing period is. I apologize in advance someone was good enough some time back and told me on here when it was, and I wrote it down and I"ll be dam if I didn't misplace it. I love this site because seems everyone is so informative, knowligible, helpful, and even constructive in their criticism when they are trying to bring out points. I believe the the late signing is in the middle of March but probably too, but if there is someone who could help me would be greatly appreciated. Thanks guys, have a great day. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY. oh ya kind of off topic for this room but its Football this Saturday so come on guys lets get behind Coach Beaty and pull for success for our other beloved Jayhawks. THANKS AGAIN GUYS

@Texas-Hawk-10 I agree guy, I fully realize he is not going to have much of an impact if he signs for his freshman year, looking more of a project a 3 to 4 yr guy and I feel that over the long haul he will do just fine, i'm really hoping maybe we can get Marques Bolden and him both that would be solid thanks for the feed back bud. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I mean REALLY? yes I know he is not THE super stud, not the one and done, but is that really that bad of a thing? I've read some people saying they don't want him- - -well obviously the coaching staff feels he has the tools and talent to be here, so what if he ISN'T as talented as some, its good to have some 3 and 4 year players, I feel he could really help us in three years and some even before, develop I believe he would be a really good player, not great maybe but solid. he has good size I think 6ft 10 and pretty solid, I just feel he is not asa bad as what some have made him out to be. ranked nu 43 right now. anyways ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Goodbye, Chocolate Thunder! • Aug 28, 2015 08:58 PM

oh man that's sad. had no idea tell just read here. I used to love this guy, he always took the ball to the hole sooo hard. wish we had a couple of players that was like that but not mentioning who, i'm talking about the ones who want to finger roll it it lay it soft or whatever, you figure it out won't be to hard. you know thew ones i'm talking about soft at the rim. Thunder always said when he went up, that was his play time, and no one better get in his way, vicious dunks. R.I.P Thunder

OK, someone is dropping the ball • Aug 27, 2015 01:48 PM

@DoubleDD that all sounds good, the only thing is- - - that didn't stop wiggins- - - that didn't stop Oubre- - - that didn't stop Jo Jo those were one and dones, they felt the love, the marriage, and they know they are Jayhawks for life, still think its howard dropping the ball and not closing out

OK, someone is dropping the ball • Aug 25, 2015 10:06 PM

OK , its time to say enough is enough. I'm really not sure who is at fault, BUT seems for sure to me, someone isn't cutting it anymore, pulling their weight, closing the deal. I mean Seriously, with the basketball tradition we have, the national exposure we have on TV, the schedule we play year in and year out, the players we have been putting into the N.B.A, the outrageous atmosphere, the home court advantage we have, the crazy's and we are losing players in recruiting left and right. SOMEONE is not closing out on these kids. I mean this year 1st, all I see is how Terrance is a lock, all you saw on twitter account was nothing but KANSAS, every thing I saw, heard was KANSAS, KANSAS, KANSAS. and lo and behold next thing I know ALABAMA, ALABAMA, of all schools with NO basketball tradition at all steps in and BAM gone. Ya Ya I don't want to hear about well Avery Johnson and the pro's great that's nice but there is NO way that a school like ALABAMA should be or is on the same level. Don't tell me AVERY JOHNSON is as good as a coach as coach self, he has proven nothing at the college level. Then 2nd, we have lost ground and I mean ALOT of ground with Marques Bolden, another player that at one point seemed was ours for the taking. WHAT HAPPENED? YA I know its DUKE at least a little more understandable, but still what the hell is our recruiters doing? something is not right, who is the lead recruiter on these guys? maybe its time for a change of recruiters, cause the job is not getting done, I mean you can't sit back and rest on your lorals thinking oh he is a sure bet, you have to stay on these kids, close it out. I can see, I can feel a swing in power coming for sure in the big 12 if something doesn't get fixed and soon. BUT we are at a level where its MORE then just about power in the big twelve, if we want to maintain our level where we are at then something better get done, and done soon. WE are losing out on to many of these guys. I mean I think we all know Josh Jackson isn't coming here. I would say we have lost our touch competing against the big boys with one and done's that's in the recruiting, because I will match us against ANYONE, ANYONE ! ! ! on tradition, exposure, scheduling, campus, atmosphere, players in the N.B.A. we stand even in all with maybe the exception of players in the N.B.A with Kentucky. Sorry guys just frustrated, venting anger right now, I know we will be ok, but still this has got to stop. we was doing better with 3 and 4 yr players maybe we have to go back to that who knows? but something needs to change. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG GUYS THANKS for putting up with my venting

@elpoyo nice really sweet. do you think quite often, or do you just ramble before without? never mind, I ALREADY KNOW.

Ferguson to Bama • Aug 17, 2015 07:53 PM

agree, big ENOUGH loss for the program. As stated put in a lot of time on him, I will never understand, but of course AGAIN you are dealing with 17, 18 yr old kids you never know how easily they can be persuaded away. Like was stated before some had him and Josh Jackson playing the same position, I'm not for sure if that's true or not but if indeed they wee maybe he was afraid of the competition if Josh came, if Josh comes will all knew he would not, not saying Josh is coming but. Just goes to show never try to out guess 17, 18 yr olds for the longest time looked like he was a lock. but just like last year we will be fine with whoever commits. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BAY

WOW. how dum am I? • Aug 15, 2015 01:42 AM

agree 100% I realize not holding my breath on him at all, just shocked me cause all I had been reading, hearing was TEXAS, TEXAS, TEXAS. & your right he states he is looking for a school where has playing time

WOW. how dum am I? • Aug 15, 2015 01:24 AM

just goes to show you, how up and on things some of these services are. just checked out 247 sports.com & in Fox's latest crystal ball as of today it had Kentucky way in front BUT, it was like Kentucky 53 % the they had Tex at 40% and they aren't even one of his 7 schools left then they had KU at 7. well here is a news flash SOMEONE has to take that 40 % Texas had and I feel a big chunk of that is KU seeing as how he said he definitely wanted to visit Kentucky & KU

WOW. how dum am I? • Aug 15, 2015 01:15 AM

jumpin - gee- hoosa - fats. Just goes to show how much I know, just got through reading the zags blog article. Fox, has cut his list to 7 schools, and to my shock TEXAS is not 1 of the 7. every thing I had heard I thought that Texas was heavy in the mix for him, with Smart huh- - -guess not. his 7 are Arizona, Kentucky, Louis, L.S.U., N.C.State, North Carolina, and KU. he says he DEFINETELY wants to visit Kentucky, & KU for sure he said those are for sure the 2, that just stunned me, what did I miss? I swore Texas was in on him big but sucks for them and hell ya for us. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Real Brief update guys • Aug 11, 2015 09:26 PM

well on another recruit of ours I just read where the 4 star big man Schneider Herald I believe has set up his in home visit with Ku. I dunno maybe not such a bad get if he wants to come, probably a 3 or 4 yr guy needs some work, but we don't need all 1 and dones. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well little different but just curious • Aug 10, 2015 02:19 AM

Ok guys, I know this might not be the norm here but, thought I would put it out see if anyone might know or heard anything at anytime. Just curious to what ever happened to some of previous KU players. As we all know some are still seen a lot prominent in or around the area but there is some just kinda poof, have quite a few that I've thought of so here goes: Dale Greenlee, Dave Robisch, the Kivisto brothers, Bob, Tom, Ken Koeings, Greg Dreiling, Darnell Valentine , Cedric Hunter, T.J. Pugh, Clint Normore, Victor Mitchell, Tommy Smith, Danny & Kelly Knight, Rick Suttle, Calvin Thompson, & I believe and this is bad not 100% sure but I think Rodger Bohensteil , Aubrey Nash. Well that's some that I remember not all big time players, but still part of the Jayhawk family crazy right? Anyone remember any of these guys? anyone know where they have gone? thanks guys. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Real Brief update guys • Aug 09, 2015 12:55 PM

Read this morning where Josh went off for 50 pts and 16 rebounds last night in New York, true I understand in these games not the most hotly contested defense BUT was he the ONLY player on the floor lol? would be a sweet pick up we shall see again his mom says Kentucky isnot involved in any way, so that's a pain we don't have to contend with, more worried about Michigan State

Real Brief update guys • Aug 08, 2015 01:56 AM

saw on zags blog just now 8:50 p. m. Friday night lol, just saw where it says Josh Jackson will unofficially visit Maryland, and will officially visit Arizona & KU. Josh's mom said it was like Arizona, Michigan State, UCLA, Maryland and KU working the hardest for Josh. She said they will definitely be taking the visit to KU for sure on that one she says, She was ask if KENTUCKY was a player in the game for Josh. she said NO DEFINETELY NOT. dam sorry to hear that. so take this for what its worth but though it was a little encouraging words anyways. he is the nu 1 shooting guard in the class of 2016 so we shall see

OK guys, leavign myself open here BUT • Aug 06, 2015 09:40 PM

guys,ijust want to say THANKS all replies are greatly appreciated, this stuff gets so complex, an ordinary joe like myself can get lost very easily. I again admit I'm no Einstein so I guess I will just be cautiously optimistic about the situation. I just hope they can get this cleared up BEFORE the start of the season. I feel Diallo plays a huge part of our success this year. Great looking kid , watched him in all the post season games feel he has tremendous potential , truly feel he can bethe missing piece between a very good season and an outstanding season. THANKS GUYS GREATLY APPRECIATED. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK guys, leavign myself open here BUT • Aug 06, 2015 06:00 PM

Guys, I'm opening myself up to stupidity, but I'm lost and need intelligent insight. I am sooooo confused of Cheick's eligibility, people talking about clearinghouse this that and the other. This right here for sure gives away my age, but I'm 61 yrs old so let me ask or say, when way back many many moons ago when I was back in high school it was pretty simple, you took either ACT OR THE SAT either and or both to see if you qualified to get into college had to obtain a certain score off those tests. So here is my stupidity whats the difference now? seems like it should be simple, is these tests gone the way of the ages or what? they talk about rather this class or that clas is good or transferrable for him on eligibility I'm lost. so give it to me I know not to smart on this, but this ol goat looking for some one to explain, thanks guys ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Adidas Post Game Thoughts. • Aug 04, 2015 03:31 PM

well guys, how many watch the games last night on ESPNU? Would love to hear ya all's feedback, thoughts. I saw three that I think would be nice # 1 Jarrett Allen I believe his name is, would be a solid but yet far from one and done, think in a couple of years could be very solid for us, then obviously Fergurson they keep talking that he is probably the best 3 pt shooter in the class although didn.t really get untracked last night , then # 3 was REALLY impressed with the Gabriel kid I believe is his last name hope that's right. would be nice to get those 3 in here, as a side note saw on 247 yesterday and BOY have we lost ground on Josh Jackson mercy couldn't believe it. it was 46% KU to 38% Arizona, now its 50 % Arizona and 36 % KU not looking good hope we can get that turned around, although I don't believe no matter we wouldn't get Terrance and Josh both, would be one or the other, anyways ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY let me hear ya

Interesting, NEW Name surfaced for 2016 • Jul 30, 2015 09:05 PM

@BeddieKU23 the only thing I can say on Jackson is what I've seen yesterday, and this is SINCE the games with Miller coaching,not that long ago they had us in a dead heat, all even at 46% between us and Arizona, now its us back up 46% and Arizona has dropped to 38% with I believe its Louisville taking the 8 % Arizona has lost

Interesting, NEW Name surfaced for 2016 • Jul 30, 2015 08:56 PM

@BeddieKU23 The only other thing I know on Johnson is, he Is currently ranked 66th by 247 composite and like 9 th best center but rising had really good showing in last tournament or whatever, says he reminds people of Jeff Whithey

Interesting, NEW Name surfaced for 2016 • Jul 30, 2015 03:14 PM

well guys not quite sure what to think on this. One theory maybe we are feeling our chances of landing Bolden not as well, OR we just trying to secure 2 big men for 2016. A New name has just popped up, never heard ANYTHING on this guy till just like the last week. His name is Jayce Johnson a as they say in article a 4 star rising 6 ft 11 center 225 lbs out of Henderson Nevada. I see we offered scholi just on the 28th of July. just kinda threw me for a loop had again heard nothing about him, 247 has an article on him today under basketball news, now there it shows I believe Arizona State in the lead, BUT if you go under the latest crystal ball shows KU in he lead, right now shows KU, Auburn, Ariz St, and Utah kinda mixed feelins, hope we get Bolden, saw where bolden today was talking about visiting KU. Then on others read today again where Trae Young is visiting for late night, this is his 2nd unofficial visit to KU although Duke it shows has a huge lead for him, says with this being 2d unofficial visit to KU could shake things up. Then Michael Porter as we know is visiting for late night, I feel this is a huge recruit for KU, in order to stay on top when you have top notch recruits right in your back yard, you can't afford to let them get away, kinda surprised but as of now it shows us with a huge lead over Washington and Duke. shows us at 71% and the other 2 at 14 % each need to nail him down yes I realize he is 2017 long ways out, lots can change, but we need to keep on top of him and keep him secured. Still doesn't look good for De' Aaron had his crystal ball as of yesterday, Texas way in front 64% to KU 21 %. we shall see. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

just misc- - -recruits • Jul 27, 2015 08:18 PM

bored, trying to push thru summer. maybe I'm sadistic but kinda anxious to see the 1st football game, just love college sports can't beat the atmosphere. think its going to be interesting to see how Coach Beaty does I DO like his mo-jo its just gonna take tine, can't emphasize enough, patience. Now on Basketball recruits I saw where Terrance is close to announcing, still like our chances with him his latest on 247 crystal which was like a week ago still had us way in front like 76% for KU then Smu 12% so lets hope. I also sa where we have gained some ground back on Josh Jackson either # 1 OR # 2 depends on which you look, last time it was KU 46 % and Ariz 46 % now as of the 24th of this month its KU 46 % Ariz 38 % & Maryland 8 % last I knew we were solid with marques Bolden still. A new name that 247 has us in on and some even predicting us is Braxton Blackwell # 38 but it shows Vndy in the lead with 50 % IU at 25 % then KU, Tex, and Louis all at 8 % so to me that's tellin m not so much. also looking at Alex Reese # 49 a 6ft 9 forward and then some have mentioned Wyatt Wilkes although I think not. In on some very good 2017 recruits which obviously the top one is Micheal porter, then there is Trae Young which I feel our chances ar better with him the Porter, Jordan Tucker # 28 6 ft 7 shooting guard Gary Trent jr # 10 don't hold your breath there, and then Mahamed Bamba # 4 which talks with Diallo so who knows anyways guys for what its worth have a great day.

KU WINS GOLD • Jul 13, 2015 02:37 PM

HUGE win, you could see just exhausted no lift in their shots, and of course me being skeptical Jane cursing ranting hollering at TV saying to myself Wayne has disappeared and then BAM huge 3 pt shot. Going into 2nd overtime told my wife says maybe the team is missing my good luck kiss from you and lo and behold it helped lmao.. Seriously really a bad shooting day but they gutted it out ROCK CHALK/U.S.A we were able to do what no others from the U.S.A has done in 10 yrs GOLD BABY. YES Nic Moore a defensive liability a lot in the tourney because of his size, post him up low, or just mis match on switches getting hung up in BUT what a huge huge steal like the announcers said maybe not the steal of the game but of the tourney. So proud of everybody, makes me proud ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

HUGE WIN • Jul 12, 2015 11:36 AM

guys I don't know how you feel, but this was a HUGE win. I can not be any more proud of a group of guys as these guys. They played so tough. When the Russian guy threw in and that's what it was, was a throw when that went in you had to wonder. Russia had all the momentum and even went up by one, and then at that point U.S.A/K.U. showed their toughness, loved it. Perry had a great game turned it on this game when we needed, really sweet , Wayne continued to be a beast. Kinda funny I had just said to myself- - ya I know talking to myself lmao, but had just said Wayne a disappeared for a bit in the 2nd half and what happens? Wayne drains a big 3. Frank like they said was an iron man, solid tired but solid. Hunter, & Landon played well just everyone overall did really good, showed toughness. Damm Russia was so big 7ft 3 and 7 ft 1 they looks athletic the team did seemed fairly quic looks like we did a better job defending the 3 in the 2nd half. SO, PROUD, SO SO PROUD I am willing to stand up and admit I didn't think we would do this well, so let me have it guys I deserve it lol. I love these guys, I think we are on the brink of a really nice upcoming season. This team has done a lot more then a lot of all star teams that has went over just can't say enough. ONE MORE TO GO. hope the guys can tuff it out play 1 more game and bring home the gold ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Has anybody heard anything different? did ESPN decide they weren't carrying the game afterall? let me know if anyone finds out. thanks guys. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
