I'm soooo jacked /stoked. - -2 Weeks from today we have our 1st game. I'm so ready. - Boy am I ready
Listened to the big 12 Media days, Coach's /Players pretty Cool. Tell you what always have a Huggy fan , & after listening to him today - - even that much more impressed guy is just solid. Some might think he is an Ass I certainly don't you have to be able to understand him - -real dry sense of humor but yet funny. Unlike other Coach's today Huggy requested the opening speech wanted to go right to questions
Media was talking about the Big 12 expansion and what the culture was like when WV joined the Big 12. - Huggy responded saying well coming from the Big East where they didn't call ANY fouls coming to the Big 12 where they did lol. -The Big thing Huggy said was like almost every other Coach talked about how well Coached this league is. Really great Coach's Saying these guys can really Coach. Talking about in some leagues you might look down the way and think maybe you can out smart a guy - - he said NOT in this league He was asked about the feasibility of the Big 12 ever getting three teams in the final four and they told him how Coach Drew thought it was possible - -Huggy says - - Well if Scott said it , it HAS to be true cause Scott doesn't lie lmao. - he followed up by saying well maybe just a little.
Coach Self turn at the podium said he was excited about the added athleticism - -was asked about the league overall he said it was proven by data how tough the league was and 3 in the top 8 ranked this preseason will be as good as it's been. He was asked adding Remy to the team what does that add ? - Responded by saying Remy adds energy , speed , and really fast. & creates. Was ask about being so deep maybe going 10 deep. Coach said that we could go 10 deep - could possibly be 10 deep. But said it was going to be harder going from 14 deep to 10. How to get from 14 to 10. Never has had so many similar guys just waiting for some seperation. Then he was asked about what it was going to be like for these guys to play before a packed Phog .Something I didn't quite understand as he said unless your a Christian Braun NONE of these guys had experienced what thnat was like ? - didn't quite get that - -what about Oachi McCormack ?
Then they talked to David and I remember from last year Coach had been asked who was the most improved player from the year before and Coach said Dave was hands down - -And it showed I didn't realize Dave had been voted as the most improved player by the league last yea
Talking about how tough this league is gonna be - -think about it you have the defending NCAA champion and they are picked third for this year - - speaks for it'self - - I am READY - -TWO WEEKS stoked - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@approxinfinity said in Big 12 expansion:
The silver lining of this is Bob Huggins gets to unleash hell on Cincinnati hopefully at least twice a year.
well with all these teams joining the AAC it sounds like possibly that the AAC might try and release possible Houston Cinn out by 2023 cause I guess these teams really would like to be in the Big 12 by 2023

Sorry I'm here to kill dreams. :p
So riddle me this Batman - -If it is now being widely said that he will play College ball and the only 3 colleges he has listed is Alabama Tennessee St and KU - -where is he gonna play his College ball ?
Another reason I think neve say Never IF it is College cause if he was so set on Alabama why even bother bringing KU back into the discussion ? & Visit - -so is it Tennessee St ?
He just wants himself a party weekend, more or less being wined and dined. Wouldn't you as a high school baller take an all expenses paid trip to Lawrence on a weekend? He is not going to play one minute of college ball.
ummmm , not so fast there my friend lol - geez where have I heard that phrase before Lee Corso maybe lol. - - anyways alot of people now saying he WILL play college for a year anyways. - -If I just wanted to wined and dined I could think of a LOT of other places then in Lawrence lol
@BeddieKU23 said in KU preaseason AP#3:
Love the optimism and I'll raise it a different way. We got 3 dudes (Remy, Ochai, Dave in the Top Tier nationally at their position. Those 3 should go toe-to-toe with any matchup. No reason that trio shouldn't get 40+ a night. They are not perfect but there's no question we should feel some confidence having that kind of firepower and experience at those positions. That should in theory allow Wilson/Braun/Harris/Yesufu/Coleman-Lands to fill in certain roles around them. We'll see how it all fits but on paper it sure looks optimistic.
I agree , kind of the wall a little side tid bit from another KU site pretty cool I mean doesn't help us in game conditions just something I saw. It was a video of Dave with some other players and Dave throws the dam basketball from the base line full court and SWISH nothing but net lol. I starts yelling I TOLD YOU - - I TOLD YOU - - THAT'S WHAT I DO lol - - but Mercy is that guy Buffed holy crap he looks good. - NOTHING like when he came in his freshman year. You remember how kind of awkard and sped up WAY to much - -look at him now - - mercy
Really doesn't matter a whole hell of a lot anyways - -It's where you FINISH , not where you start - all Pre seasons rankings for is more or less people patting themselves on the back saying look at us we are ranked Number - -blah , blah , blah.
At the end of the year which would you rather have? that pre-season # 1 # 2 # 3 so on and so on OR the NCAA Championship trophy ? - Team tell you ok you go talk your smack about being the # 1 pre-season ranking throwing all that shade - - main while back at the Ranch we will take our NCAA title trophy and go home and have a nice night roflmao

@BShark They'll be more experienced, but I just don't look an 11 seed that went on a Cinderella run as a de facto top 5 team the next year. They were an 11 seed for a reason.
And we also saw last season how much experience matters and UCLA has a crap ton of experience that now has Final Four experience. They absolutely deserve their preseason ranking right now.
100000 % agree - - UCLA is exactly where they should be Tons of experience was a little talk earlier that they made a strong case as the # 1 team - not sure about that but they are deserving of their ranking as much as anyone else is
I think they have us right where we need to be. I have no problem with the top 5 period. - -Big 12 has 3 in the top ten I can live with that
@Marco said in 2023 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 I heard that we made his final 18.
LMAO - - -stunning absolutely Stunning I say lol
Well the way things probably play out is - - - Last year COVID knocked us out of strong possibility of a National Championship - -THIS YEAR the IIARP or whatever it is /NCAA will probably see we are stacked with another really good chance at a Championship and they will ban us from post season play this year. Figures that's how the NCAA will screw us this year
yippee. we made the FINAL 8 for 223 point guard Jeremy Fears 6'1 ranked presently # 27 according to 247. - Some about these final 10 - -final 8's just chap my ass lol. - -Let me know when we get to the final 3

@Oldmanhawk said in 2023 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 yeah, the big O was from Duncunville. I think Cole was from Minnesota
Thanks guy - - I'll blame that on old age lol - -I was sure about O couldn't remember about Cole
@Marco said in 2023 Recruiting:
@jayballer67 not sure.... Remember Big O though, he went to Duncanville.
Boy do I remember lol - -the other big I was thinking of was Aldrich - -probably not right

Beginning to wonder if it's not time to being Daniels in. Bean is JUST NOT getting ANYTHING done. Like they saying on the radio looks like a QB that has lost any confidence. Jalen has had a year of conference play under his belt time to see if he is improving at all. Current Qb is just not giving the team any life
Bean's body language looks fine, it's the OLine that is just terrible and needs time for the young players to develop and get stronger. 2023 is the earliest you will see any real progress on the field.
It doesn't matter who is playing the QB spot now, the OLine isn't good enough for anyone to be successful. Prime Michael Vick wouldn't generate much offense behind this OLine. I'm not convinced Daniels decision making is any better from his limited reps this season.
If the staff really thinks Daniels is the future, don't risk it by playing him behind an OLine that can get him hurt or destroy his confidence and make him gun shy.
That could be true but another HUGE problem is our Defense is just horrible we couldn't stop some 85 yr old grandmother - I'm really frustrated with this defense I thought we would be a little better then this. When your giving up 35-40-50 point a game doesn't matter who is on this offense
Rebuilding is not an overnight process. This team so completely changed coaching staffs and systems AFTER spring practice meaning this team had to learn a brand new system during fall camp. This season is basically a prolonged spring practice for this staff to install their system and part of why Leipold was given a 6 year deal instead of a standard 5 year deal. This is year zero for him and his staff from a development and implementation point of view from the Athletic Department point of view.
not sure if you know this or not but UMMM we have been trying to rebuild for the last 6-7 years

Miller could still go pro. If not, it will be Bama with Memphis having a darkhorse chance. KU is not in the picture.
Neither is Memphis they are not in the picture PERIOD according to his dad - I'm gonna be one of those guys wait and see on this one BShark I just think there might be more there then what your seeing

Sorry I'm here to kill dreams. :p
lol - -that's ok. Turn it into a nightmare lol
Ok guys let me say this. Now I know I'm in the real and I mean real slim minority here that's ok I don't mind. I know in the real world the chances of this happening next to none - -in reality even less then that I'm sure. BUT let me live out my dream , my make believe pretend and just hear me out ok ?
Miller visiting KU this weekend is HUGE and I do mean HUGE. - the # 12 ranked player in the Country nothing but upside , seen so many clips - - just smooth as smooth can be , Now original he had cut KU from his original 8 along with Kentucky , Florida , & Tennessee BUT added us a College THE ONLY COLLEGE he added back - he didn't add Kentucky Back , He didn't add Florida back , He didn't add Tennessee back - -JUST KU. ok , ok , Again I get it guys BUT.
WHY ? - - WHY ? Why after cutting us were the only ones added back on. - -Myself I think someone from the KU staff has him at least curious/some what interested. call it what you want. Thing is from the article I read he had been a heavy lean as to going straight pro most of the Summer according to analysts Now a few including Joe Tipton of on 3 .com feel very strongly he is going to play College Ball.
Here are some things that was said in the Article : His Dad said he really wants to see how Coach Self and Staff interacts with the players. Wanting this and the fact that KU is the only New addition to his recruitment and that Millers desire to visit KU this weekend puts KU in a favorable position entering this Weekend.
Prior Alabama was the only School with any CB's and that was in September , not surprising they were the only one's with CB's considering the other College was Tennessee State.
His Dad said and( think about this statement for a minute before you brush it off ) His dada said Bringing KU back in was a long thought out process. - -Think about that. After all this time and elimanting KU after all this time THEY decide to bring KU BACK into the recruiting process ? - - - WHY ? - -WHY would they do that at this point in time unless someone has at least peaked the kids interest to a degree, it just doesn't make any sense if he is at least not some what interested. - - WE were the only College he brought back and his dad saying that and then you have this : His dad says WE could of EASILY reopened recruiting BUT no listen BUT we ONLY wanted to learn more about KU. - - -ONLY WANTED TO LEARN MORE ABOUT KU - - - Hmmmm WHY ? what's there to learn if your not interested ? - -why waste your time ? - -KUs time ?- - Could of re-opened the recruiting but only added KU - is let's at least say curious/a little interesting
Again I know I'm crazy maybe someone gave me one to many shots of tequila or whatever and it's a wild dream - -BUT - -WHAT IF - -just WHAT IF ? - -MERCY I know but hey crazier things have happened we have the right to that dream don't we. lol - - have a great day guys -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer67 Ostertag right? The Big O.
ya I think that's right, ya I think he was the one. Who was that other big guy w had I thought he too was from Texas probably off on that but I think you are right. Ostertag from Duncanville
@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
Yeah honestly I would say 4 years. He's basically the antithesis of Dave. Great rebounder and defensive presence, not going to hit a jump shot.
Jordan Walsh to Arkansas as expected.
ya I was debating between 3-4. Will be interesting to see how he develops offensively. KU seems to have a way to get the big's better. But not looking for big things , we will have the scorers if he can give evn 9-10 a game to grow with his defensive presence I think w will be ok

Here is some of Jerry Meyers scouting report of Udeh : Runs rim to rim , Dangerous offensive rebounder , Tremendous Physique , Best attributes Rebounding & Shot Blocking. Would be a HUGE addition to either KU or UCLA. -& 7'2 wingspan. - -Meyer say he best compares Udeh with former Indiana player and current NBA player Thomas Bryant.
Weakness - Mechanical in his passing but gets the job done - -needs improved foot work
Bill is going to love him. Just a great fit for both sides tbqh.
Sounds like I'm going to also. - - Thinking he is probably a 3 yr player anyways. Wanna see him develop some offensive to go with those other skills. It DOES SAY he has a nice right jump hook
Couple of guys , not sure if mentioned for 23 but either KU is interested in or mentioned KU they are # 31 Assane Diop 6'10 Center out of Denver Colorado. - -raw in overall development - -great motor - - flashes of Ball skills -- -great frame. Other Schools are Denver , Illinois , Maryland , & Memphis.
Then the # 53 ranked player of 23 is 6'9 PF out of Duncanville Texas - -hmmm seems like w had another big boy from{ DuncanVille Texas - -who was that guy lol } - Barnes skilled face up 4 guy excellent size and length . - -Has unoffically visited - Baylor - - SMU - - & KU

Dick, Zuby, Rice and Udeh, great class! And we'll add a transfer or two, I am quite sure. Things are back on track, perhaps the staff and university knows a bit more about the nerverending NCAA battle than they let on.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, will we get punished? Yeah, they'll give us something just for GP, but it won't - because it can't - be too severe.
Don't count on Rice 100 % until he is enrolled and landed on Campus buddy

Farmer read tody about we have a recruiteer that was at Michigan State a guy thats evaulating talent position I guess, was really successful at Michigan State came back home to Kansa - -question is do you think we really hit the portal hard this year
Yeah, Iād say only a couple more HS commits then around 10 from the portal
ya think there has to be a lot of portals and a good chance to pick up some quality experience players. - -I would think strong emphsis on Dl & Ol in the portal
Farmer read tody about we have a recruiteer that was at Michigan State a guy thats evaulating talent position I guess, was really successful at Michigan State came back home to Kansa - -question is do you think we really hit the portal hard this year
So I saw some snip-it's from Udeh visit. - -Sounds good anyways he stated :Nothing Negative to say was a good visit really. Spent most of his time with Ochai , Jalen , & Yesufu , yet managed to talked to everyone on the Coaching Staff.
Udeh said you can tell the Fan Base really loves their players. Coach Self is an Awesome stand up guy , very genuine & has a great personality ( ya til you screw up in practice lmao - -then maybe not so much lol )
Saying it was really good to be able to watch KU practice and getting to see what it's like at the next level . Saying next step is getting back home and reviewing everything and deciding how I want to move forward. - -Hope this turns out well. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
The Chiefs don't have it this year. Their Defense is horrible. They ranked next to last before last night , and gave up 436 total yards last night - - 4 more turnovers you just can't do that. Now in last place two games behind. They got to get this turned around
@BShark said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:
He looks pretty good in that jersey tbh
So what ya thinking buddy ? - -looks nice just wish that Not committed said committed. What you feeling ? think we land this guy ? - hope so. - - ROK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
so has anyone heard anything from yesterday with Udeh yet ?

@approxinfinity said in A lazy relaxing Saturday-- Enjoying football:
@jayballer67 best SEC game of the day?
lmao - -ya reckon your right there lol
Mercy , if you as a fan couldn't appreciate that game , then there is something wrong with you. - Don't think it was a case of the defense's being that bad - - just the offense being that good 55-48. OU scoring the winning TD with 00:3 left in the game.
Some Gawdy numbers. - - Worth WR for Texas a freshman 9 catches for 261 yards. - -And Brooks for Oklahoma 217 yards rushing Mercy
what a crazy game
Holy Smokes. - - Texas has NINETY recruits there for the game with Texas today - - -NINETY ! !~
Oh it's nice to be able to kick back and chill sip on a brew and enjoy a REAL football game. No teams getting embarassed , Real football stadiums. Watching OU - Texas -Real football.
I'll say this OU -- is NOT - - is NOT the # 6 ranked team in the Nation - - -no way - - Texas just scored - -AGAIN in the 1st qtr , Texas up now 28 -7 in the 1st qtr. -6th ranked team defenses don't give up 28 points in the 1st qtr.
Oh sur will they probably hang 60 on KU - -Sure they will , but let me say again I'm talking REAL football - they may hang 60 on us but everyone has come close to doing that ,BUT against other quality teams - -OU has looked very average. - -Brew going down smooth lol -let these losers beat up on one another love it. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Also saw where Miller is visiting NEXT weekend. I'm not getting wound on this one either BUT just find it interesting he is at least now coming for a visit. Something made him change his mind. would love to find out just what that was.
I mean he cut us once when it was his final 8. He cut us - - Kentucky - - Florida , NOW he has added us back - just another head scratcher. Someone from KU has got in his ear made a little impression at the least. Anyways just thought it was interesting. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Can't believe I'm even asking this , but saw it - had to ask Sooo why is Mitchell posting on his twitter like 16 hours ago a picture of him in a KU uniform arms crossed and the big KU Basketball Billboard that says " THE KANSAS EXPERIENCE " behind him ? - - nothing said in the twitter - - -just the picture. I don't get it . I know , I know - -just can't figure out why. - -HA would that ever shake some rafters lmao
Welp udeh on his visit, hope they wine & dine him well - let's land this sucka lol. Got 3-4 yr player, watch him develop. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk like you said, our recruiting is definitely on the upswing. But I don't see Mitchell signing with us, since we already have a pretty good, gaming Dick and Zuby. I don't think that we'll sign Walsh either. Udeh would be a nice get though.
Miller thought is interesting never say never with this guy
