If we have a tournament this year it might be a miracle

I'm afraid it's coming. Cause even though this isn't suppose to be as dangerous or more dangerous - -it is a lot more Contagious I can see a repeat

Karon Prunty to NC A&T

Would of been sweet to have him back. BUT in a way in the long run I think maybe were bette off without him. Just seems like might have just been a added distraction. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Boy I'm getting really worried. So many players being lost to the Covid again now. Games getting moved - - postponed - - Cancelled - -NFL - - NHL - - College Basketball - - NBA. I'm just waiting for it to hit our KU guys. - -Really concerned because of the Christmas break and kids going home around groups - -I'm afraid it's really gonna hit

@Kcmatt7 said in Transfer portal a source of depth and experience for KU football:

@nwhawkfan that one really hurts - local too. Wouldn't have ever guessed you would see her leave.

for sure. Still not quite sure WHY ? with this transfer , guess it looks even bigger cause we just don't look at it like Football - -Basketball but this is a HUGE hit for the Ladies

17 points in the last 6 minutes of the game. He's so good

Geez , just mercy. To think and he actually didn't want to leave KU at the time , wanted to stay but Coach told him he needed to go -- MERCY, you can understand he wasn't gonna help himself anymore in College what a guy

Colorado Buffalos - Tuesday - 8pm - ESPN2 • Dec 21, 2021 06:20 PM

Saw where 18 contests had either been Cancelled or postponed tonight because of the Covid , getting to be more and more all the time - have a feeling it's gonna get worse before it gets better - -especially with the Christmas Holiday Break and then New Years players going home - - large gatherings and this Omicron a lot more contagious - -not good.. - - Oklahoma St was Cancelled against USC. Not sure if it was because of Okie St or USC. - Stay safe my friends

With Omicron being so contagious, I think that's why we are seeing the level of outbreaks that we are. This could change the season and the playoffs.

your right and we are already starting to see the Changes. They mentioned on the Vikings/Bears game last night. We now have games being re-scheduled to different nights - seeing larger amounts of players going on the list daily. - It's effecting the NBA - - NHL -- NFL - . I personally don't think it will get like it was with the initial virus but it's going to be bad

That Southern Illinois loss looks very out of place with everything else on their schedule. They haven't blown teams out, but they have held teams off. This will probably be a close game.

they got some games there that were alot closer then they should of been. -- Brown , Dequense , Eastern Michigan - -Should be a W unless we just come out un inspired and thinking about Christmas Break. We have a tendency to do that quite frequently

IARP update • Dec 21, 2021 04:09 PM

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in IARP update:

The NC State ruling was the one I was most interested in because that's the most similar case to KU's. No post season ban for NC State is encouraging for what should be coming in regards to KU's punishment.

I'm still expecting KU to have to vacate the 2017-18 games Silvio played in which obviously includes the Final Four banner that season along with probation and scholarship reductions. I'm also expecting Townsend to get hit with a show-cause tag, maybe not 6 years because it doesn't appear like the case is as strong against him as it was against Orlando Early. I will also be curious if Self gets a 1 year show-cause.

The biggest reason NC State did not get hit with post season ban was, the IARP considered it but came to the conclussion that they didn't want to punish the current members of the team , but yet wanted to make it clear to NC State how serious these were , which is about the only good thing I see as far as we go - -they don't get post ban I don't think we will either. As it boils down to the same amount of Level one - which is 5. - -I think Townsend WILL be hit with show cause and if not the same amount then just a little less, he will be lucky to retain his job, as I think the University it'self when this is said and done will let him go if nothing else to try and make themselves look better.

I fully believe the NCAA/IARP is looking to make an example of the BIG FISH in this case ( KU ) to put fear in the other Schools to show them they mean business on violations - -I think it's bullshit but the NCAA has had it in for KU for some time, -with the IARP and them together they want KU to pay well the NCAA does. - I can see probation multiple years maybe 2 and I also think Coach Self will get show cause just like Gottfried. - -Either way I think we will find out something before to much longer. I guess these cases were handed over to the IARP and in order it was NC State - -then Memphis -- Then KU after that so it could be not to much longer. hoping for the best

IARP update • Dec 21, 2021 12:29 AM

Read more about the penalities on NC State today. - -Kind of Confusing s I thought they were charged with two level one violations. - - This article that I read from another KU site said they had 5 Level one , 4 level two and two level three violations.

Reduction of Scholarships in 22/23 yr. Vacating any wins that Smith played in. - -They said the level of the violations were severe enough and they considered post season ban - -BUT they considered post season play and being banned from that but said they took into consideration that they didn't want to punish the current ,members of the team for the past BUT did want the School to be aware of the severe of the violations. -- hmmmm that sounds good/promising

@jayballer67

Yes.... the defense, flat out, sucks at this moment!

All that foot speed.... wasted. Guys play totally out of position, they do a very poor job on switches... most of the time we have at least two defenders stuck in "no-man's land" not guarding anyone. It's one big mess!

The thing is, none of our playing time guys are freshmen. These guys no better! Self needs to really crack the whip on the lot of them! The head is Remy... He really needs to toughen up his game. Pac12 ball is not Big12 ball. His biggest adjustment isn't learning Self-ball or a new team... his biggest lost space is his lack of playing Big12 ball, and he's yet to have that baptism. Soon enough! Colorado may give him half a taste. Just wait until he faces Huggy Bear and his Mountaineers in WV!

I'm a big huge fan of Remy but can't give him a break on this. He has to bear down and start playing like a Big12 PG.

Agree , true Remy can make some strong plays BUT there is a lot of times he is rally loose with the ball , there are times he tries to make the sweet pass and it gets turned over he does that rather then make the simple pass. - - His defense is HORRIBLE he gets beat constantly, BUT he is NOT alone defensively - we have work to do -- lots of work

IARP update • Dec 20, 2021 08:58 PM

@BeddieKU23 said in IARP update:

The first case for IARP was resolved today. NC St received 1 yr probation. Former coaches received show cause penalties.

ya I posted this also , saying I think if people think we are getting out of this clean as a whistle, I think they are in for a surprise They got show cause with TWO level one violations - -Gottfried got a year show cause - -I think there is a very good chance of Bill getting TWO year show cause , multiple year probation and one year post season ban - -If NC State is getting thsi for TWO level one's I just think the IARP and the NCAA are trying to make themselves look good and make an example out of KU. NC State Assistant got SIX years of Show Cause -I could see our Assistant getting as much and more likely then not removal from staff. - -we ARE NOT getting off scott free. this with NC State pretty much shows as much

Got a feeling it's getting closer. • Dec 20, 2021 07:25 PM

Well read where NC State received their punishment from the ( IARP ) . This is the 1st ruling from the ( IARP ). North Carolina State received a One year probation , but no ban from post Season as a result of the findings. This comes from 2 Level one Violations. Arizona , KU , Louisville , LSU & Memphis still awaiting findings.

Assistant at NC State helped facilitate 40,000 payment from TJ Gass to shift Dennis Smith. - -Early the NC Assistant got SIX YEAR show cause - (WOW ) & Gottfried got a ONE YEAR show cause

I just think that some people that think we are coming out of this with nothing is just not being realistic. - -If the ( IARP ) is giving NC State a ONE year probation for TWO Leel one violations ? - yes no post season ban - - that's a good thing -however to think were coming out smelling like a rose is just unrealistic.

they get that findings for TWO LEVEL ONE'S- -and we got accused of what 4 - - Level one's ? - I can see our assistant getting the same amount of show Cause -I can see Coach Self with show cause but longer then ONE year , more like 2 years I would think - -multiple year probation, possibly two-three year probation & 50/50 chance of a year post Season ban.

I just think that the NCAA & the IARP are wanting to make an example out of KU ass our Level ONE violations were among the worst of the schools accused. I think they want to make an example out of us and I think the College Basketball World ( Other Schools ) might even be pressurin them in some way to make that example out of us. - -whatever it is - -I think that decision is closer then some may believe

I'm concerned for conference play. Today's poll has five B12 teams in the top 25 -Baylor, Kansas, Iowa St, Texas, Texas Tech. Oklahoma and West Virginia are right outside the the top 25 poll at 26th and 27th, respectively. Oklahoma St is receiving votes. TCU and KState aren't awful. Conference is insane this season.

Chiefs • Dec 20, 2021 05:10 PM

KC might wanna try to make the most of it this year win it all , been hearing a lot from Gb people off their sites , course me being a Packer fan thats why but a lot of talk about Aaron ending up in Denver next year. Plus if Gb can't get Adams signed good chance Adams goes with Aaron to Denver, has talked about wanting to keep playing with Aaron could make for a stiff challenge in the Chiefs division if those two end up in Denver.

Hell there is a solid shot could be these two playing in the Super Bowl this yr.

Concerns for Colorado game • Dec 20, 2021 05:03 PM

our defense is killing us . It's not just Dave on the defensive end either the whole dam team sucks. In the end our defense can be our undoing this yr. Ya Dave has been stinking it up for most the year on the offensive end , but we have scorers that can overcome that for the most part - -exp Oachi - - Braun - - Jalen - -others that can help. Our defense is killing us , way to many straight line drives , getting beat off the dribble drive to the hole.

This happens it seems every dam year we have a lot of trouble defending the perimeter . Seems like I dunno teams get a lot of wide open 3's players almost making have hearted efforts to defend the three. When I heard we are DEAD LAST in the big 12 defensively just thought WTH ? - -Bill has always wanted that tough defensive effort , right now were not defending anybody. Come tourney time we defend or lack of defense is going to cost us & cost us big - like the end of our year big

Tomorrow night will be another night possibly of down low. As much as I like Dave - -people here know this the guy from SFA made him look silly , some of his moves just left Dave & others standing like whaaaa? Bill has always seemed to find ways to take care of things

Will never happen but Bill is to proud to do so but the thought of some zone couldn't hurt - -just a change of pace , something different. Would help cover some lapses on the defensive end maybe not get exposed as bad down low, might help our guards defend the 3 better. Need to try something w are just getting beat to much to make a serious run

Non-KU Games • Dec 19, 2021 05:12 PM

@DCHawker said in Non-KU Games:

Baylor comes from 10 down in the first half to beat Oregon. The Ducks aren't that good this year, but it's a true road win in a tough environment over the two time defending Pac 12 champs. It's pretty clear that the road to the B12 title now runs through Waco, not Lawrence. This from CBSSports:

"This victory over Oregon doubled as the 400th career win for Drew, a likely future Naismith Memorial Hall of Famer who has turned Baylor into an undeniable power. The Bears are now 64-6 in their past 70 games and on a 16-game winning streak that dates to last season. In that stretch, Baylor has beaten Gonzaga, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Houston, Michigan State, Oregon, VCU, Stanford, Arizona State and Villanova (twice). Incredibly, each of those wins has come by at least eight points."

Pretty remarkable run....

Baylor is the real deal for sure. The Conference is going to be a real Bear. - -Wait oh get it - - ( A real Bear ) lol - -really didn't mean for it to come out like that butttt - - figure this Baylor - - Texas - - Ku - and even to a lesser degree Iowa State , the real surprise team n the league. Amazing what happens when you get a real Coach - and then watch Texas Tech to beat a couple of the Contenders during the season - -nothing easy.

Then on a little side note, I hope some people aren't thinking this KU/Uk Big 12/SEC challenge is going to be east whether it's at the phog or not. - not even close to the team they were last year. Destroyed NCarol yesterday. - -TY TY , but the big question is who is going to stop oh hell big boy - -the transfer from West Virginia (Tischibue I know not even close on the spelling sorry & others going to have the Phog at it's best

Will miss all of these stupid ESPN+ games. Why can't they just let ESPN subscribers stream the games and make anyone else pay if they don't get ESPN? So I went to the movies, West Side Story was very good. I noticed Dave 10 minutes and Mitch 26 minutes. Did Dave get hurt or did he just hurt the team?

Didn't look like we must have played all that well against a decent mid major team. Is that true?

Bro, you're preaching to the choir, it's about $. Interesting that Duke fans don't have to watch ESPN+. When able we need to get a better deal.... Which will probably mean that we'll be going to another and better conference.

Ya Marco I was thinking along the same lines. When I was scoping broadcasts the other night and of Course DUKE against the mighty and fearless App St, - -guess what STILL being shown on ESPN.

When KU plays such an opponent or a lot of other teams plays those such teams , guess what ? -BAM - -ESPn plus here we come go figure

Latrell's Revenge Game Thread • Dec 19, 2021 02:56 AM

Well , w got our Christmas Gift tonight, We sure didn't improve our last place rankings on the defensive end in the Big 12 tonight with our defensive effort.. Question , how many times did we get beat of the dribble drive - - payers being able to turn the corner at will straight line to the basket.

Yet one thing I will say , the big boy for them looked like a lot of times when he got the ball he just bully balled lower his should and driving into McCormack or Lightfoot just mauling them backing the guys down just bully right into their mid section I dunno.

Good to see Jalen hit some shots , Christian being Christian - Och another solid night - another thing that stuk out but we already knew right now at this point and time our 5 position - -SUCKS just sad play -well a win is a win we will take them SFA pretty decent team

they say flu for KJ ? - -still scares me cause this covid they say a lot of times has been dianosged wit flu like conditions - -hope it's not

This dang Covid guys & Gals. Just different strain after different strain. I hope we don't go through this crap again effecting the Season. - -Well I mean it already is to a point. I read where up to now there has been 20 men's Basketball games either postponed or Cancelled & 36 Womens . Like they said it's just going to continue to grow.

I know it's effected Ohio St , Seton Hall now , Syracuse , Cleveland State , I can't think of the other one Big College that has multiple problems - -I don't want to see another repeat. - - I hate it.

I'm hoping like this article says we the team being vaccinated and then boosters it won't hit us - -But kind of worried it's really hard to protect these guys 24/7. Hard to Police the guys and control where they go & what they do exp ( going out with friends on weekends or any other night as far as that goes - -coming in contact with countless others that may have been exposed - - just keeping fingers crossed. -Just seems like this is growing worse day by day AGAIN. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

For two games in a row Pat is getting back in the rhythm.

He made several Pat like plays last night, plays that are so difficult but he makes them look easy.

Despite giving significant number of yards, credit goes to D for making key stops at critical moments in the game saving valuable, game saving points while missing 3 key starters.

thing about this game - - -Actually the Chargers beat themselves. they ha three opportunities to take the 3 pt for a total of 9 mor points. - The coaching staff decided to gamble cost them. If they would of kicked the Fg's the game would of never made it to overtime. I always heard you don't take given points off the board - -they did - -they lost

Very bad. Without power for 7 hours here, imagine it was even worse in more rural areas (I am rural but still close enough to Topeka). Heard Topeka and Emporia had power outages as well. Heard about a fire in Hays. Had bad smoke smell here, but that couldn't have been from Hays, too far.

ya we had some power outages here in Topeka , we was lucky our power went out but came right back on after a couple of minutes here at the house. - -Crazy thing was Every Electric kept sending me texts talking about how they knew we was with out power and was working on it , then they would update and apologize for it taking longer then expected to get it back on , then they would text and say power had been restored - then later they would text again and say they were aware that power was out at and give my address again just over and over and over my last text I got was at like 4:30 this morning and the thing was our power Never was out other then just that short flicker lol.

Was reports that a wall had been torn of the Spouth wall of the Frito Lays plant crazy weather

2022 Crootin • Dec 16, 2021 12:16 AM

I don't know guys maybe I need to take my Crimson & blue shades off. Yet my takes and maybe just my take but I am so imprssed with Coach - - -everything about him. The way he addresses himself & the way he handles things. Man I hope he sticks awhile.

I was listening to some snipits of one of his conferences from today and he was trying to break things down for the everyday clown like myself so I can understand even on my level lol.

He was talking about when he got here about how unbalanced we were at certain positions depth wise , saying it wasn't that the kids didn't have the talent but just way off center in some positions depth wise how they are trying to get that straightened out He was talking about how he thought that we ar actually in a position where we could be at our 85 max Scoli limit even yet in 2022 , with additional commits in Feb , and how the deck had been so stack against us pointing out as an example with the K/State game, taling about starts. - -How many starts our boys had compared to their kids starts. - talking about we were at about half MAYBE 60 %.

He was talking about how the portal has changed the whole recruitng - the way you approach , whole different landscape as he was ask if he thought we would be bringing in any more High School kids this cycle he said posibly maybe a few but with the portal and guys that can bring exprience to spots that need taken care of for depth changes things.

I don't know I just think the guy oooze class , like a 1st class guy/act. - I think and have said before we have our Coach to get this done. I think we start getting some more W's and being competitive then in a few years we can possibly get the funds to upgrade this rellick of a stadium make it a little more attractive to some recruits our stadium needs to be upgraded in the worst of way - -I'll tell you one thing , the interest from fans is for sure on the up tick for a change - -people really showing some interest some hope some light at the end of the tunnel. - -Gonna be interesting to see how fans turn out next season , we competitive I think you'll see fans coming back and getting some Jayhawk butts back in the seats - -Let's do this - -I'm stoked can you tell lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

2022 Crootin • Dec 15, 2021 09:32 PM

Think Coach L and staff has done a good job finding guys to come , we have gotten some pretty dam good transfers Gervin ( Michigan State ) - - - Morrison ( Nebraska ) - - - Gorczyca ( Buffalo ) - -Young ( Ohio St ) - -Gilyard ( Central Florida ) - -these guys are guys that can help instantly giving depth - -our secondary could be pretty salty. - Still hearing lots of rumblings that Prunty is coming back quite possibly

Picked up a pretty decent QB I think Vasko. Read in the article where it said the reason he might not of had a lot of other offers was because they had a lot of covid restrictions - -all in all think we gonna be fine. Love how he is starting to make connections with more Kansas kids true they might not be big time but were getting in the door something previous staff refused to do burnt a lot of bridges but PWO'S for Kael Frakes from Lenexa & Grant Glasgow out of Lawrence.

Think we also got a sweet pick up in Kaleb Purdy - had offers from Iowa St - - K/State - - Michigan - - & Missouri to name some - -still got othes possible come Feb so I'm jacked lol

@FarmerJayhawk Do we know why Vasko is rated so low/doesn't have any other big-time offers? Has the height and numbers. Seems like he has enough arm to play P5 football just watching a few highlights.

love the way he can throw on the run. I think he has pretty decent size what 6'3 ?. Was kind of surprised Hawley left us and entered the Portal. Between the two I thought it would be Easters that left.

So Kendricks and Hawley leaves - -Easters stays for now. I have no problem with Kendricks. He did the best he could for us when others hurt hope nothing but the best for him.- -I'm excited from what I've seen with Vasko

How good does it feel to have a competent Coaching staff that knows what the hell they are doing ? - A staff that reconizes the pieces they need and go out and answers those needs. Farmer were on the verge - -were on the verge not saying were there but Buddy were coming and coming fast.

I am stoked to say the least. -Michigan State - - Ohio State -- -Nebraska - - Buffalo - - Central Florida - - would these players even sniffed KU with previous staffs ? - -I think not this portal has been a huge g

game changer and 100 % benefited KU. Now I know were not gonna be contender this year BUT I think these other teams if they haven't already better be ready -cause we coming to give out some ass whuppins and not taking names

One question Farmer with all these new players in the Seconddary does Potter get squeezed out ? - - I hope not buddy, potter plays his ass off hope they give him the chance to retain his spot instead of just handing the duties over - - ROCK CHALK BUDDY bRIGHT DAYS COMING

I think Potter could be really good depth. Maybe he shifts back to outside LB.

hope they find a place. very quality player , would hate to see him transfer out

@Marco because we need him to get better!

I realize that... I guess what I was trying to say is, what if he doesn't get better? Hard to believe that he could play as lousy as he has been, all season. But I mean, if he doesn't start playing better soon?

Wilson just needs to find a way to get the lid off the basket. His shooting woes are why he's where he is because 33% FG, 7% from 3, 35% from the line isn't cutting it.

I'll say this bluntly, he's a lazy shooter and the numbers back it up. He should be a better shooter but we've yet to see it.

I agree with you I really do, I just don't understand as he was quite a bit better in all phases in his shooting lat yr. - his Ft % is terrible. - he wasn't that bad last yr, I think maybe like 68 % somewhere in that area last yr - -better 3 pathetic this yr what's happened?

His overall numbers last year weren't good either, 41% FG, 31% from 3, 63% from the line. I dug even further into this. From the end of January to the end of the season Jalen was 46/117 from the field (39%) including 9 games of 33% shooting or less during that stretch.

So far he's struggled even more shooting the ball and that's a byproduct of his poor decision before the season started. He's pressed since coming back and probably has struggled coming off the bench. Self thinks the light is going to come on for him but its a waiting game so far. If he doesn't find some efficiency in his game I don't see a reason for him even playing the role he currently has.

Ya really poor numbers for sure , but even worse this year. - He was a good rebounds for us last year but just seems to be really pressing. We need him always a need for another scorer, cause you know and I know there WILL come a time CB and Oach both or one is just gonna be off , that's where we need him and Remy both to pick it up. You have mention in other threads/posts that after this yr you think Jalen is gone no matter what - I beleive that also. Let's just hope he gets his act together.

Oh Farmer , do you hear that ? - -you feel it ? - -Thinking there is a storm brewin -- and THAT storm is the Kansas Jayhawks baby lol - -not to far off in the distance a REAL storm brewing.. The days of marking a automatic W when you play the Hawks - - IS OVER PERIOD.

How good does it feel to have a competent Coaching staff that knows what the hell they are doing ? - A staff that reconizes the pieces they need and go out and answers those needs. Farmer were on the verge - -were on the verge not saying were there but Buddy were coming and coming fast.

I am stoked to say the least. -Michigan State - - Ohio State -- -Nebraska - - Buffalo - - Central Florida - - would these players even sniffed KU with previous staffs ? - -I think not this portal has been a huge g

game changer and 100 % benefited KU. Now I know were not gonna be contender this year BUT I think these other teams if they haven't already better be ready -cause we coming to give out some ass whuppins and not taking names

One question Farmer with all these new players in the Seconddary does Potter get squeezed out ? - - I hope not buddy, potter plays his ass off hope they give him the chance to retain his spot instead of just handing the duties over - - ROCK CHALK BUDDY bRIGHT DAYS COMING

It's going to be a great conference season this year! And with the bottom of our league still being legit... the key will be to not lose to a trap game. Consistent play will be a huge plus this year and in that area I feel like we have an advantage because we have an experienced team with pretty good ball skills. Our TOs seem to stay within reason. Rebounding okay. Steals good. We are a team that does good on the possession chart.

I'm not even looking at a cumulative stat sheet. Just based on what I witnessed. I also like how we finish out on many steals.

This team should still continue to play slightly faster. I hope Jalen's game comes around and he helps speed us up. We should become masters at scoring off of secondary breaks. Tons of open treys!

Baylor is going to challenge us a lot more moving forward, every year! Drew has really put it together and his basketball environment may be the best in college basketball today.

your right Jalen has to come around just like the announcers keep saying , they say Once Wilson comes around BUT we also are going to need more for Remy he hasn't really turned it up yet either. - I realize trying to fit in - -trying to do what Bill asaks BUT even Coach ha said Remy might be over thinking - we get those two on the same page then we gonna be that much better for sure.

I realize he is trying to get the ball to team mates to score but he is passing up some good looks - - looks when he is in the lane kicking out giving up 7 footer for 20 footers we need these two to help carry the load we need their help down the line somewhere 4 Scoreres are better then two - -just logic . we get both them averaging around 10 a game - -wee gonna be fine.
