Don't think that makes sense from a travel perspective or television time slot perspective for local fans. But if it makes cents then I'm sure it will be given due consideration.
Makes about as much sense as West Virginia becoming a Big 12 member - -travel - -time - -don't see this happening

Well I guess it is a transfer - - a Juco but transferring. - - Porter Moser Coach at OU landed a pretty good player. Akol Mawein the # 4 overall Juco committed to OU 6"10 - -# 1 PF - -he is doing well as the 1st yr Coach at OU

don't be sooooo sure on him coming back. At one point I was 1000 % sure he was coming back - not sure at all. - He can like so many others have can come back and get that degree
Even if he gets drafted or whatever he can always come back and get his degree

@Oldmanhawk said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:
@mayjay Not ALL of us are down on the roster for next season. Will have to admit though that I’m a “Glass half full kind of guy!” LOL
I'm not down on the roste e now have at all. I think there might be some that are under estimating these guys. - - wou ld be nice to get another wing though
Ok guys , so here is something I just don't grasp I guess not do I like it at all whether I grasp it or not. This particular time it just so happens to be dealing with our Football program. Although actually this happens in every sport and I just don't get it.
Guess the question becomes and just so happens it is with our KU football program THIS time & that is Why the F - - - is it that when a kid decides to leave the program , decides to transfer , WHY is it the kid automatically becomes scum, not worth a shit, a piece of trash , a deserter ? - -What changed ? - still the same athlete - - - still same size - - ability - -so why so instantly has he become worthless , a piece of trash and so on and so on ?
Awfully funny how everyone loved the kid when he was HERE , thinking how talented he was/is , he certainly wasn't a piece of trash then - - BUT NOW he is ?. - So happens this time it just so happens to be DeJon Terry. - Is that really the case about the kid OR is it possibly , with the new Coaching staff he just didn't feel comfortable ? -Just didn't mesh ? - -Does that instantly make him scum ?
If a kid decides with a new system shouldn't he have the right to transfer out ? - Shouldn't he be able to go play some where where he feels comfortable ? - wher he fits better with the Coach's /School ?
How is it fair or different in any way then if a kid comes to play for a School or individual exp ( LES ) -say how is it any different then if he comes to a School to play for a Coach and then the Coach up's and leaves ? - He came to that School because of the Coach/Coach's of that Staff. How is it a Coach can just up and leave a School and that's ok - -BUT if a player wants to transfer out he becomes scum - -trash - -not worth a shit. being forced to stay at a School after the Coach that recruited him is GONE - -how is that right in any way shape or form ?
Terry was a really good player when he was here & he will be a really good player even now. He has not any less of an athlete - he is the same kid now as he was when he played for KU. -I just don't get it. I don't grasp or understand , or agree with the hatred and all the trash talking - I call BULLSHIT. this not only goes for the football BUT basketball , baseball what the hell ever. It's not just here - - it's everywhere and to me people that act like this are just totally gutless idiots. - The kid deserves to be able to play where he wants to play and nothing but the best wishes to him. - Hope he succeeds at a very high rate. - -People saying OH I hope we get a chance to play him - -and if you do? - - AND WHAT? - you hope he gets taken out by someone - -you hope he get's hurt playing against us ? - -ya that works - -tha'ts real mature

@Oldmanhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:
What in the hell is going on with all our troubles in recruiting? Has Self lost his touch? I mean, a top ten class this year is unacceptable, and it’s already May, so we all know nothing good will happen before next season. Why would we continue to recruit a kid Kentucky got involved with? Why in the world would we try to recruit against UK, Duke, Carolina, Villanova, Baylor, and a dozen other teams we’ve lost kids to? Self should run from such challenges and only recruit players we KNOW. We WILL sign. I don’t know, I just wish we could consistently field a team that wins and competes for championships. Sarcasm included.
The day KU bakcs away from a recruit that Baylor is also recruiting is the day I will no longer be a Jayhawk fan & I've been a KU fam for 60 years - - Baylor late success for the last 4 - hell even 5 yrs is not even close to be considered a true blue blood. - -You asking what's happened to our recruiting - -well this NCAA crap has a role in that, we have recruited and I'm sure we wil continue to recruit against these schools. You can't run scared and not recruit a kid just because of a name - -there is NEVER anyw way of Knowing for 100% that ANY KID will sign with us OR any other teams - - Looking back at your post hoping the entire pose is being Sarcastic - -if not then here is my response to that post lol. - Wonder if these other Schools run away from the challenge of a kid that KU is recruiting that they have lost to KU - -ROCK CHAL ALL DAY LONG BABY

Grimes is out, Drake is staying according to a player’s family. More will trickle out soon.

@jayballer67 said in Spring Game:
just curious of course didn't finish the 4th quarter but just curious. I thought Neal was on campus early , if he was why didn't we see any time? Same with Easters and Hawley did they see a snap ? - -if not WHY Not ?
I'm going to go with an obvious answer here, I'm guessing Kendrick and Daniels looked significantly better during the spring than Easters and Hawley did.
then I will go with the obvious reply to your obvious answer - -if that's the case then we FOR SURE are screwed again. Whether they are or showed that much better during spring, you still need to give these other guys reps - -only way they will get better- -It's the Spring game for GOD'S sake - the way those two handled the game last night THAT'S not very encourgaging sign
Yes, the offense will being trash again next year unless the UNT kid is a step up from what's currently here. If Easters and Hawley don't grasp the playbook yet, they wouldn't get equal reps in practice yet and would benefit a lot more standing next to the QB coach learning what to look for during a play.
Don't forget, this is another brand new offense this year and Kendrick and Daniels have to get reps to learn the system as well in a live game situation. As we saw last night, Miles Kendrick is probably going to be the starting QB unless Bean comes in and wins the job this fall which is much more likely if Leipold replaces DeBorg.
Couldn't agree more. Like you say let's just hope Bean shows up and can take the starting spot. Cause with Kendrick in control - -could get really ugly
I think that the defense has the possibility of being pretty solid this year/salty. We got Terry , Harris ? -& the other guy to go along with what I think is some solid Secondary , the only thing is I don't care how good the defense is - -if the offense can't move the ball as we saw last year if we just go 3 & out - - -3 & out -- 3 & out doesn't matter how good a defense you got - -sooner or later they gonna wear down - again as we saw last year - -got to be able to give the defense some blows.

Neal is playing baseball at Lawrence High this spring. Hawley and Easters got the last two snaps.
Oh didn't realize Neal was , I mean ya I remember NOW - -so he didn't doing any spring football then? - Seriously don't know , or was he still able to scrimmage in practice ?

I'm glad he has found a place to play. So many talk trash after a kid leaves , just not the right situation here, doesn't mean he can't play - - not saying you by any means but lot's of people always like to talk crap on a kid after they are gone you know ?

well noting solid but have heard been mentioned for one maybe be bringing his DC with him for one , also heard that chances are that Coach Jones more likely then not will be retained - thats if Coach Jones want to stay , I really think w can't afford to lose him. To well like by many players.
@kubuckets -Love this " not going to be easy BUT " WE WILL WIN HERE , I PROMISE YOU WE WILL WIN "
Like it - - -Like it a lot , meeting trying to spell things out. Like how he talks about trust , laying that foundation. no BS sounds pretty straight forward.
Just really hope we can retain Jones & Drake for sure ,I'm so ready for this - -to see how this guy can help us , rebuild this to some repectability. Like I said yesterday and the new Coach said here things are not going to happen instantly KU people have jus GOT TO BE ABLE TO GRASP THAT. - nothing happens over night. Think to many KU fans are hoping and thinking because a guy has a proven winning record , a record of being able to rebuild programs turn things around - -to many fans casual observers feel like that kind of things happens at the snap of the fingers. Guys , it JUST DOESN'T work that way - -it takes time , this guy is not in year one - -he is in like they said yesterday he is in year Zero.
One thing Coach Miles DID DO is get us headed in the right direction with better talented athletes and stop the top heavy JC recruits Miles got probably 95 % High School recruits maybe even higher then that. - - - - Now have heard who knows this is a guy that might go after a FEW -- again a FEW JC's Big difference then Beaty. and as even more talented we are now with our roster and projected 2022 kids were still young - - -very young won't hurt to get a couple of JC's that have at experience at key spots that we need.
I think this is a very good hire - - National Media is really high on our hire saying Kansas FINALLY got it right. Another Media member saying it's a sad day when Ku & Tennessee both have Coaching openings & KU gets the better Coach. I 100 % for sure feel like this is the guy that can get this done IF we as fans show some restraint with THIS COACH , this Coach is not Beaty- - Not Les Miles - -Not Turner Gill so don't judge as such - -this is Coach Leipold - -this is now OUR COACH comparing him with Turner Gill is complete stupidity , assnine , comparing him with Gill just because they both came from Buffalo - - -that is just insane there is NO COMPARISON between the two - -I'm so ready for this hire. I know I'm not the only one. I know Farmer really likes the guy too we just got to give it time.
This year might still very easily be ugly a crap show for this year, but for the future - what's ONE more yr of crap for what lies in the future - - respectability I'll take that any day. A time where we can actually look forward to a football Saturday and enjoy the game being respectible - Truly beleive this IS the guy to get that done Patience my friends - let's do this - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer67 yes then Calipari came in and bent Bill over.
Thats what I thought and if I'm not mistaking I think he was also showing us some quality interest also right ? - - we were right there I thought until late - -so you think Bill tries again ?
Here is the thing, like they are saying on the radio media sports talk , they hope that KU fans think that Leipold is going to come in and just kill it the 1st year.
People need to look at this like year Zero. -- Leipold no spring ball with the guys , trying to install an offense during the summer and then fall trying to install new offense, like they said KU not going to be good THIS year, but then again what's one more crappy year
It's going to be the following year that we begin to see a little bit. - However hears a anyalst from CBS sports said when he was asked to project KU wins for his 1st year and he said he could see KU getting a couple of Non Con wins and then even possibly , possibly scaring the hell out of ONE BIG 12 opponent or even winning a Big Twelve game
The National media all over this all very positive for the KU hire saying KU finally got it right and should feel very fortunate to get a guy with the quality of Leipold No matter what happens this year - - Year Zero - Think we have a very Quality Coach
