Well trying to with hold some giddiness, as I realize it's just an exhibition game. However some observations # 1 MAN we are DEEP ! ! ! , gonna be hard to get us in foul trouble. # 2 KJ & Bobby look quality , yes gonna be harder later in the Season but they are no slouch. --# 3 Remy is Remy , the only tiny thing is hope he doesn't become a black hole at various times , I think that gets fixed. Coach mentioned that at half.
Didn't really get to see Cam and Yesufu that much in the 1st half- - I'm sure we will see more as the Season goes along - - -just more depth. -- Like the way the guys seem to flow smooth in the offense again it is 1st action but like some things for sure

@drgnslayr said in Jalen:
I think taking kids out of games is a horrible punishment. It can potentially hurt their futures. Why not give him the option of doing community volunteer hours? Preferably themed around alcohol abuse?
oh thats not a good look. - Jalen got exactly what he deserved. - -Not only did he put his own life in jeopardy he put countless others in jeopardy as soon as he made that decision to get behind the wheel of a 2,000 pound machine when he was drunk. - -Bad Choice , Really Bad Choice
Well , this is about right. - -Wilson does what he did - - he is out - - - -now JCL out ya about right - -and here we go.
Just heard of Sports talk local Jalen suspended for 3 games plus the exhibition tomorrow
@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Bama has some strong ass recruiters. Damn.
Whether anyone believes it or not , people saying he was going pro - - -Then when we got added back , I knew there HAD TO BE a reason , if he was going pro he wouldn't have bothered with re-adding , BUT i still figured we had little chance -we had a chance but little. - - So no real huge surprise , I think I would of been more surprised if he would of went Pro
Well Miller didn't go pro like so many thought BUT chose Alabama instead
Devonte being Devonte , sure made a little boy happy. Devonte gave the boy his Pelican game shoes WOW what a great guy, always loved the guy seemed like he was always smiling ear to ear. Will never forget his Senior speech so emotional.
Gave the boy his shoes. The kid tweeted or something saying thank you so much and that how he was now going to have to get his dad to buy Devonte's Jersey so he could wear it to every game lol. - -The boy had a regular shirt and it had Graham name on the back - -taking it Devonte must be his hero lol - -Gotta love it
One season without stupid stuff would be amazing
Boy my friend are you ever so spot on with this. - -I am Soooo dam tired EVERY DAM year always something. Would it be to much to ask for ONE JUST ONE year where we could go through without all this Bullshit - -these kids need to grow the hell up. - Bad look for themselves - Bad look for the University - - I mean come on
Does Anyone know who the flagship Station for KU on the Radio Broadcasts ? - - I know we sucked little green Apples yesterday as bad as it was with like around 11:00 left in the 4th Qtr , we lost the game and was never returned went right into their regular programing 105.9 old call letters use to be KLZR right out of Lawrence.
If indeed because of the score in the game and lost communication made no attempt to fix - -Then that is total BS. - -I don't like getting our ass whip on a routine bases either but I swear if that is the case. If they just went into their regular programming with 11:00 left in the 4th Qtr and ya 52-3 - -somebody needs to be held responsible if that's what truly happened
Read off TOS Team bus got in a wreck on the way to Tulsa , but no injuries thank goodness
I bet he sticks

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2022 Crootin:
JuCo offers coming in hot and heavy. Offered a OT from Garden and a LB from Texas today. Shows where they think the holes are.
Juco is good - - as long as we don't go over board with them - -been that route
@Marco said in Holy Crap that Chief defense sucks:
Several takes here, and I pretty much said it before, but will expound upon it this time.
Take one - the Chiefs suck. Mahomes is overthinking things instead of just playing. Two - the D or lack thereof is a total tragedy, and we have talent.
Three - the window has not yet closed but is getting there fast, we need to sign some defensive players.
Four and five - we need a new OC and DC.
Take one is really good. The Chiefs suck BECAUSE of their defense AND Mahomes is pressing/forcing
Titans just KILLIN the Chiefs. - Chiefs defense - -wait what? Defense , they have no defense sad . Mahomes is pressing/forcing 9 int's this year only 6 all of last year. - -now 16 int's in his last 16 games. People are thinking /saying they think the leauge is catching up to Patrick - - 4 1st downs for the game think they said 67 yards of offense - - mercy. yet this dam defense is GOD Awful
Self will be playing with that expanded rotation this yr. - He said it's not so much about the 10 man rotation but how to get from FOURTHTEEN TO TEN for the ten player rotation. -- that's why he is hoping for a little more separation so he can have his ten. He said the players are so close together - it's hard to cut it down to 10 players for the rotation
I love it Hell ya run 10 - with the kind of depth we have we can throw out so many different combinations Hell ya use 10 - -always fresh , be a lot more aggressive o the defensive - -be able to constantly get out and run if they want - they have the players to run - you wanna go through stretches with 2 big's then run two big's. -- Nobody is saying they have to be long stretches. You want small ball - you can have small ball you want 4 out 1 in - -we can do that too the depth is there. I wouldn't blame him one bit if he does wanna play 10 - -I mean he is the HOF Coach , made PLENTY of wiser decisions then us Couch Coach's.
Foul problems should not be an issue this year - - -Not with the depth we have , as to where we couldn't afford breaks keeping people fresh. Whatever Coach decides I'm right there with him 100 % I think h ejust might know how to handle this. What a sweet situation to be in. Trying to figure out how your going to be able to get your 10 players playing time - -NOT worrying about if your going to be able to have enough to field a team on the floor and can't foul period.
@BShark said in KU upset alert, right now:
@Texas-Hawk-10 True. I also think Oklahoma just isn't very good based on their results. They seem like a candidate to get smoked in the playoff if they get there but I could be very wrong about that.
I've thought from day one - -after watching -they ARE NOT the # 3 ranked team in College Football , no saying that just because of today - -saying this from watching them in other games just looks like an over rated team. More like a 6-7 rated team

Hmmm
So this is telling me is - -yes yes once again we were right the ball should of been turned over to KU
@BShark said in KU upset alert, right now:
KU has some grit. This year is basically lost but bodes well for Leipold's future here. Year 3 feels like the target line for real progress and wins.
Yes the guys do have some grit. I just can't say enough how proud I am with these guys, I know there is no such thing as a moral victory but mercy. - they played their ass off today , and you got to see those pieces that we have talked about today Potter stood out - -Neal gonna be a stud coming around - -Grimm love this kid - - Arnold - - Our OL doing it's thing getting a lot better - just so many spots getting closer my friend.
If we get beat by teams and legit lose then so be it. But to get beat this way is BS - -patience - - patience - -patience. Even though we got another Loss today I think tody is just the 1st sign that yes we do have the right guy to turn this around - we need to build off this even though was a loss - - a lot of things we can take from this and use in our favor
Last year our OL gave up 9 sacks at Oklahoma -Today ZERO until the meaningless right at the end. - - We out gain them put up 412 yards of offense, had our 100 yard rusher dam dam dam msan I'm hot - -we had this game and got it taken away and NOT by the other team - -just flat sucks -the OL coming around 2 sacks in the last 5 games. Again OU had no answer for Lassiter. Bean moving the team down the field quick capping it with the Reaper ( Luke Grimm. ) WE got us some sweet receivers - - Grimm , Arnold.- - I am starting to see a light. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU upset alert, right now:
Zebras really making it known they’re here.
Couldn't agree more Farmer. - I usually try to not get into that type of thing BUT the ref's just flat ass Screwed us out of this game in the end. - -That handoff? - - ok -BUT the whole thing on that was Brooks WAS STOPPED , that whistle should of been blown - - they just FLAT ASS blew that call flat ass missed it STOPPED.
They make that call like it should of been, even the TV commentators agreed he was SHORT TFL and the Refs just took it out of our hands, they get that call right who knows. Were on their side of the field. Drive the ball like we had been doing Score that puts us back up
OU had nNO ANSWER for Lassiter NONE. - -Grimm was big Arnold was big - -love how we answered their score multiple times, - our guys out played OU for the game for sure - just chaps my ass Farmer. These guys busted their ass and to have it taken away is BS.
We can only hope that the guys can still take some confidence out of this - -this is by far the best we have seen this D step up - SOLID - -OL did great not ONE single sack until the very end - - OL has only given up 2 sacks in the last 5 games man I'm proud of these guys. -- Maybe we are to the point where we are getting ready to turn this corner. - -The guys have to take positive out of this and run with it. - -I said this before the game and I'll say it again for sure now. - - OKLAHOMA IS NOT THE NU 3 TEAM IN THE nATION -their just not. - -Great job guys I'm still really proud of you today - -you showed up, good to see the fans getting into it only gonna get better
Pretty well played ball control for the 1st half - -KU 39 plays -- OU 17 - - KU 7-9 on third down - - KU 5.4 gain avg per play -- OU 4.3 - -BUT it's only ONE HALF. - would be sweet if it continued
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU upset alert, right now:
I recommend holding the ball for 22 minutes again and OU repeatedly taking a 12 gauge right to the metatarsals
Really good effort today Farmer - got to be proud of how the guys effort 1st half. OU get's it 1st this half just got to try an maintain. - -Would do mountains if we stayed very competitive for the game for the guys
No one & I mean No one if you were to tell them KU led OU 10-0 at the half would believe you - -I mean NO ONE. - We all realize a long 2nd half , no one knows if we will able to maintain the lead , but and I know it's just a half but still you have to be proud of the way the guys have came out and gave it their all & are giving it their all.
Defense has played well OL doing better OU gonna bring a lot of heat/blitzing the 2nd half would be my guess. Typical trap game for them totally over looking the game today against the guys. Just play smart the 2nd half and continue to play hard -show signs of progress that's what we want.
Crazy stats KU 195 yards of offense - -OU 78 yards of Offense. 1st time KU has led an AP rated team since 2014. Long 2nd half guys - OU gets the ball 1st and you know Riley has got a huge bonfire lit under their ass. Just be proud of the guys effort my friends - Who knows. - -OU lots of penalities, - An innerception who can tell lots of hope but the effort is there
@BShark said in Kansas starting 5:
The box score will be leaked, probably immediately after the scrimmage lol.
Worth noting they aren't anything close to real games. Often times the coaches will work on particular things, they will do scenarios etc
KJ plays hard, that goes a long way with Bill. I think he will be an emergency minutes guy this yea
Thanks bud, I guess I'm just not up to snuff on these things lol. - Ya kinda thought it would be just a glorified practice hell they may not even try to keep track of any kind of score. Like you was saying and or I was thinking a controlled scrimmage. Maybe situations will sit up scenario's of all out full court pressure and such right ? - - -thanks for the help guy - - BUT only 12 more days till it really happens , True exhibition against Emporia St ? - - Let's DO THIS -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@BeddieKU23 said in Kansas starting 5:
They will play Tulsa in a closed scrimmage on the 30th in Tulsa
Ahh Ok I appreciate that I hadn't heard anything must of just flat missed it . lol thanks again - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Ok , so I know that we were/are suppose to have some kind of a closed scrimage don't know who - - don't know when - -don't know where, all I have heard sometime this month. - -Just curious wondering if anything had leaked out about when it was happening OR if it has happened how it go ?
I read and heard Again KJ Adams is impressing a lot in practices and such saying with us going 10 deep he could easily see the floor. Maybe we got a sleeper

Here is the interview Jayballer is talking about. Warning, it's long.
Good stuff @BShark, helping Jayballer out with the post. I thought that you were the killer of dreams lol?
Long but worth it Marco. - You can tell the kid is just - -what's the word I'm looking for? - Grateful for the opportunity , Blessed , for sure a family type person countless times talking about his mother in this and other clips. Tals about Oachi and Nigeria, I just get this feel we are REALLY going to enjoy this kid - -Thanks for sharing Marco
Man If only I was smarter with computers. Just got through watching an 1:07 minute innerview with Udeh from Zach Schuz Schuzmaker from the site Kansas Jayhawk Basketball Recruiting and fan page.
I'm telling ya this kid has class written all over him , what an innerview. - -Wish I knew how to share it here. I got it off my face book. -I know people would like it.
One thing thought was pretty funny , Zach was asking Udeh about telling Coach he was coming to KU> -Said he called Coach Self and said Did Lawrence have some really good Pizza places cause Pizza is his favorite food. Coach says well ya we have some good places , and Ernest say well I'm going to know where they are cause I'm coming to KU - Coach says What ? Are you serious man lmao.
Udeh is KU's 25th highest recruit in history talked about going from being unranked when he got his 1st offer and thinking how he might get 5-10 more then 6 months later getting 2-3 offers a day. Going from one offer to over 40 offers. - wish I could bring that hear so you could listen. -lots of interesting stuff on there
Some more opinion from various people on Udeh. - - saying Ernest is Dangerous offensive rebounder , quality rim protector on defense , engaged on that end and controls space as a rebounder.
A few negatives brought out - - Tends to play upright , needs to refine his footwork , not a ball handler , and not a shooter from distance. - -These things are fixable over time. KU has been good with developing Bigs - -look at David as a Freshman to David as a Senior - - - -BShark thoughts how long - -I think he is a three year player maybe four - - your thoughts. I think pretty sure bet he is three unless he develops faster, he has come on to the scene pretty quick though. Whatcha think ?
Had to edit found some more saying Udeh - - plays mean , runs the floor , protects the rim at a high level ( THAT I LIKE ) STRONG RIM PRESENCE. cleans the glass , and has really picked things up on the offensive. - - I think we are gonna like this guy
Well think that's a wrap for our recruiting for 2022 for High School kids anyways. I just have this feel we will be active in the Portal again We gonna be losing let's see Probably Jalen , Oachi David , Remy , & who else - - know there is more. Portal will have a surplus of transfers again
@drgnslayr said in KU preaseason AP#3:
Look at your list... none were aggressive on offense.
I am a very loving person... but in this game... you need guys who bring a little hate to the game!
I hope Udeh is a guy who will bring some real attack passion with him!
He has the nastiness in him
Found this off Rivals site this morning on his commit thought I'd share what they said : - - this was on what they said KU was getting in Udeh.
A guy that plays even bigger then his massive frame due to his wingspan. Not just a bully under the glass , possesses plus athleticism which he uses in the post , and when it comes to impacting games on the glass. Says Ernest was a walking Double , Double this summer , some finesse around the bucket finishes with both creativity and regularity. Is a willing defende and Udeh's size and athleticism allows him to change and block shots.
What Udeh said about KU : - - You can tell that the fan base really loves the players. It is really a blessing , because everyone knows they are a big time school and for me to be getting that kind of recognition is really an honor. - - -I think we are going t like this guy - - like him a lot
@Oldmanhawk said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Id say Bill meant it when he said we needed to get bigger, stronger, more athletic. Sure like these last two classes. Man I’m ready to tip it off!!!
you and me both - -less then two weeks now
Been reading and seeing different things that more likely then not the Big 12 will have a 2nd round of expansion but not till like 2024 when they will then target the most likely hearing Boise State & Memphis - really targeting Boise State - -we shall see
@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:
Knowing our luck a player will get a Dodge Charger, crash it, lie about it, have his family lie about it then and have a 3 year investigation started.
lmao - -you stop that lol
@BeddieKU23 said in Oh fella's - -Fella's - -listened to Big 12 media days:
Coach mentioned that Braun & Harris were the most improved players from the offseason. Probably not a stretch because both needed to improve signficantly
ya Christian kind of went through I'm not sure what but there was alot of times he would have the shot, and a really good look at that and would turn it down. Like he lost confidence in his stroke. Said he has been a lot mor aggressive in practices this year, we can sure use him
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
You love to see it. How does Udeh project as a defender? Is he a shot-blocking type player?
very good protector I've heard runs rim to rim aggressive rebounder and rim protector
Last year when asked who the most improved Player was Coach responded McCormack hands down. -- Asked that same question this year ? - -Coach said Braun and Harris most improved players - - - look out
You know before it's all said and done , Zuby and Udeh just might makes a pretty nasty duo. I'm thinking they will chances are they will be here for three years. Well I think anyways I guess how quick they really develop.
Last I heard/read on Juby today was could very likely play small 5 ball , Zuby has a High Motor , Powerful , Explosive & Ultra Agressive. I like how that sounds you put that combo together hell maybe both on the floor sometimes in small amounts. Gives Bill multiple options to work with. Ya I like it - - I like it ALOT

I have to say I'm impressed (as long as he commits) that we landed him. Month ago I definitely thought the Portal was the only option for another big the way things were trending. Good to see this class with for now possibly 4 Top 100 kids.
4 top 50 kids! 🤘
For sure , and they actually said KU has 4 out of the top 41 recruits , just wish MJ would stick but I don't think he ever steps foot on Campus as a player for KU
