Weird way to get longer and more athletic ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I mean he just can't play at this level. You know Bill isn't done with the axe yet.

we have discussed the others. Now from least likely to most likely : Jethro , Tristan , Jossell. - -Not even sure why I'm saying Jethro the least likely but I dunno something he sticks maybe for one more year

No, thank you. I never root for another Big12 team to win the championship.

Other then that the more our league wins the better the Whole conference looks others se how hard it is to compete in this league the better we look

Difference of opinion. I don't root for another conference team to win the chip, ever.

Should have an AD hire this week. Also, Todd Monken (not the Army coach, the current Georgia OC) is getting some traction for the HC job.

Hearing alt about Travis Goff & Mike Harrly- - - -think I'd perfer Harrly from Army

I really doubt it’ll be either. But the search firm has this sucker on lockdown. It wouldn’t surprise me at all if the hire was someone not on anyone’s radar.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Gonzaga:

Baylor is the only team equipped to beat Gonzaga this year. Baylor's defense is good enough to slow down Gonzaga's offense and keep them in the 70's and Baylor shoots the ball well enough that they can outscore most teams including Gonzaga on a good shooting day because Gonzaga isn't a great defensive team.

Baylor has been the one team all year that could match up with Gonzaga and why many people were disappointed we didn't get the scheduled game between the two tes earlier this season.

That Baylor/Gonzaga game would be classic

@jayballer67 Beard with Nike money behind would far exceed what he can currently get at Tech with UA money. We all saw what Rick Barnes could do when UT was at their peak in the 2000's and that was a top 10 program winning Big 12 titles, contending for national titles, and sending a crap load of players to the NBA that far exceeded anything KU players of the era accomplished in the NBA. Beard in Austin means Texas will start getting KD and LaMarcus Aldridge caliber players on a regular basis again.

Chris Beard is definitely going to consider whatever offer UT puts on the table.

Oh ya I know Beard could for sure bring excitement to Texas. It's going to be interesting. Shaka had some pretty decent players - -not KD good but still pretty dam god he just couldn't Coach them. Kia JonesDr

Brad Townsend who covers the Dallas Mavericks - -quoted as saying Beard to Texas is already a DONE DEAL.

Townsend got a call from a College Basketball Source that he trusts who say Chris Beard is ABSOLUTELY going to Texas - - -it's A DONE DEAL 100 %. - -Beard's buyout right now is 4 million - -but after the 1st it drops to 2 Millon - -only thing that might hold Texasa back is they just got through paying out 15 Mililon for the football coach

@BeddieKU23 Are referring to when he was coach at UNLV for a few days then Tech offered him their job?

Beard is a UT grad and got his coaching start their under Tom Lenders. That's why Beard's name is connected to Texas.

you think Beard would take the Texas job? - -he might. - Thing is not really sure if it would be a step up actually. - -Sure deep Pockets but as of this point Still think beard at Tech has them straight with Texas on the Basketball level- , now Beard goes there and recruits well which he seems to do/then the facilities probably better i all probability bigger budget, and maybe just maybe draw some fans. Going to be pretty ard to surpass football at Texas in popularity. - -I think if they go after him - I just don't think he will Leave but ohhh those deep pockets

New QB transfer https://www.sports-reference.com/cfb/players/jason-bean-1.html ↗

The question is - - - - - - WHY? - - got enough QB's competing now. - like 5 BEFORE this guy . - -we have our starter from last year , we have the 2 Freshmen QB'S coming in - - -we had another that was on the squad from last year - -why take ANOTHER transfer ?

Have you not seen KU's QB play the past 11 years? Why would you not want as much competition as possible at a position KU's gotten basically no production from in over a decade?

Man you've already gotten these two freshman written off a trashed based of previous KU QB production - - nice. - - you have no idea what kind of production you could get from these guys - -again nice. No way in hell can you assume that these guys can't produce. just automatically assume - believe me I've been here for all of those 11 years your talking about plus many many more. Jalen Daniels is not as bad as some think. I don't give a dma if you have no line protection NO ONE is going to do squat. Maybe we should put you back there see how you do wit h that line.

I will say this though seeing video of this kid - - he got wheels , kid can run which is good, he will need it , gets the ball out pretty quick at times /lazer - -but besides that your entitled to your opinion just like I am to mine , think if we added anymore at this point needed to be focused more on the O-Line & D-line that's all.

I don't think @Texas-Hawk-10 is writing anyone off. Just saying having someone who has produced at the FBS level so we don't have to rely on 3 true freshmen, which who knows what you'll get, is good.

well guess but if a freshman beats him out - - he beats him out - I don't care if it's Fr , soph , what the hell over STILL saying Jalen is better too then what people are giving him - Hell what do you expect when you spend 3/4 of your time running for your life a getting body crunched 3/4 of your time can't show squat when you have no time

Because he's immediately eligible and last year had a better QB rating than any KU QB since Todd Reesing in 2008

Welll alrighty then, that's different. Just looking at his stats just didn't blow me away but knowing this sounds better - just seeing 14/5 was thinking ehhh. - You think with is you think it might make a difference with our to incoming FR ?lots of competition

I can definitely see Texas making a run at Slick Rick. With the new arena coming in 2022, Pitino provides star power to help fill the even when Texas isn't playing a blue blood.

I think your spot on - -all counts. -- On top of that I think if they reach out to Rick and he shows ANY interest about the job - - it being Texas I would think they have some pretty deep pockets to make it an attractive offer. Has a proven record of success. ACTUALLY in a way I think I would like to see him come, they could be even more competitive with Rick and would be I dunno a good move for Texas

Well read this from another site. - I'm not saying but just asking , makes SOME sense. Person said and makes me wonder possibly with these new Coaching openings here at Oklahoma & Texas you think either of these Schools would ever probe Rick Pitino at Iona to come be their next Coach ? - - - Just asking guys ? I know he had problems at Louisville & not saying I'd be in favor BUT I think one thing he does add is some really quality and Name to the League - -pretty decent Coach. - -He said he was perfectly happy at Iona but if he was given the opportunity to come to a major P-5 program do you think either of these schools would try and make contact - - get a read/feel of what he thinks? you think Rick would be interested - - just curious guys

I would think we hear about who is leaving our program next week if not possibly today. With so many transfers out there it is best to toss your name in the hat ASAP. With the way Self is out recruiting we obviously know someone / multiple players are leaving. Just a matter of who and how many.

Still think the chances are really good for TGF - - Tristan - - then look at Jethro & Jossell would be my guess

Coach Hot Seat and Players to Poach • Mar 26, 2021 04:40 PM

Well One thing for sure , The Big 12 gonna have plenty of ne faces whether players OR Coach's. - -# New Coach's Texas - - Oklahoma & - - Iowa State - - & it's early just kind of wondering how hot the Coaching Seat is for Jamie at TCU - -could be a 4th ? - I know I'm Crazy but have always liked Jamie, NO not saying I would eve want here by any means, but for like where he is at TCU & Such - -thought he got kind of a raw deal at Pitt.

Side note not sure if anyone is aware or even cares just throwing it out. K-State and Ol squeaks losing a FOURTH PLAYER to the portol

@BShark At this point I think you may have to press TyTy for a decision and get an answer and then move on.

You don't want to whiff on Pettiford because TyTy wanted to drag it out.

Pettiford mentioned he will wait until mid to possibly late April after meeting with KU coaches. TyTy will likely announce next week.

Believe it was mentioned by someone that knows, KU talking to Pettiford was to try and get TyTy to commit.

Ahhh trying to use Pettiford for some leverage huh? - - war chips lol
