Only two verbals that didn't sign are Lawrence and Grays. If we can keep those two plus land a transfer (Les wants true or RS frosh from the portal) that's a grand slam in 21. At some point I'll sketch out a ROUGH two deep for next season. From what I have now, it'll be mostly guys with 3 or less years in the program. It's coming.

Are you sure just the two ? - - I read of TOS that it was three that didn't sign. - - Lawrence , Grey's - -AND Scott just curious buddy.

Like you say it's coming just takes time

Scott signed. One of his buddies from Alabama might be next...

Oh ok, when did he sign ? I know at Miles press Conference he hadn't -oh wait - -are they talking about Jacobi Scott is that right ? - -wasn't he last year ? - -I'm confused lol

@BShark said in NCAA Council approves blanket waiver:

UNLEASH CHAOS

they was talking about this - -wasn't there a transfer that several big time was after out of the IVY that KU was also interested in ? -- Tarkelton ? - -or something like that isn't that right ? maybe from Yale ?

The NCAA Council has approved a blanket waiver where ALL transfers will be eligible right now for the 2020/2021 Season , instead of having to sit out just was talking about it on the sports talk show .

Like they said we all knew this was coming and gave example like McClung of Tech the NCAA already gave him approval to play this year - -BUT with this if he hadn't got approval -- He NOW would be eligible to play this year, gonna be interesting. So all transfers now eligible

@justanotherfan said in Coaching Carousel:

If KU is to turn this around, the key is to convince everyone that this is going to be a 3-5 year process. We aren't going to attract the type of talent necessary to turn things around in a single year. A Cam Newton type isn't walking in to just fix 80% of the flaws on one side of the ball just by showing up in town. So we have to solve those problems recruit by recruit. That takes time. That takes development. And that takes patience.

Agree with you totally. - -Yet you have some that don't want patience they want it NOW - -doesn't work that way Like I said a day or so ago. - -Took us more then one or two years to get in the position we are in now & it's going to take more then that to get out of it.

Les is building this back from the floor up , which is with high School kids. Some people just can't get it through their heads that the more talented quote un quote elite or upper talented guys are just not going to come until they see we are making progress & have a stable Coaching Staff.

These idiots want to keep Changing Coach's every 2-3 years , now talking Crap on Miles , give me a freaking break if you have any kind of knowledge you can see progress being made in the program. Hell the players we have gotten to commit last year & now this year - - -a Couple of years ago - -we would have had the door slammed in our face little lone get them to talk with the staff - - We would have the phone hung up on us very quickly and calls not returned.

You have to be able to see/realize the the talent is getting better. - You look at the kids we are getting now compared to a couple of years ago - just look at the Schools that we are competing with for some of these guys compared to schools we were going up against a couple of years ago, - - All high School kids now compared to a lot of Juco's - just not the same - it JUST TAKES TIME

Well three that verballed didn't sign today. - - not sure if anymore coming or not. -Seen a couple that looked like could be special - - just have to go through the growing process.

Obviously the big thing with this staff is they are staying away from the Juco's - redshirt some of these guys to go with the other youth and by year 3 gonna have some pretty decent developed kids.- Coach said getting close to85 limit - - but yet still gonna be able to have more

Two pretty solid recruiting classes 2020 , 2021 - and Les saying next recruiting class could be special

was looking things over about Tech this year - have a bunch of 6'7 and around there. One 7 footer but really nothing to speak of , shoot 35.5 from the 3 compared to us shooting 39.9 - -- - only shoot 67.5 % free throw to - - our 70.1 % - -we are right at 6 rebounds plus better then they are on the boards - -43.7 compared to 37.9. -turnovers are about equal.

Did see stats that they are # 1 in the conference in defense and only allowing 51.6 points per - -Ku is ranked 5th - -they go about 8 deep

If we just go in and play smart should be a good game , won't have to face a full house anyways, got to get after it. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Was watching K-States game last night & Bradford, don't get me wrong they it looks the kid is fluid to an extent right now anyways - - basically dunks last night Iowa State is just plain awful, last night anyways just a turnover machine and thing is most was unforced.

Bradford is for sure a project got along ways to go - but I think by his Jr year maybe in the middle of it - - I dunno might be a little sooner but anyone is going to look good with the other warm dog doo they have, hell ya gonna think he is the next coming , thing is with them playing us this year - - he is going to have match up problems with us if we go 5 out. - -I don't think he match's well at all trying to defend with a 5 out look gonna get beat of the dribble

Can't talk all negative though I think he will be a solid player on down the line - squeaky might have at least a little something that's if Squeaks is still there by Brafords Jr year.

They are saying this 2021 class when they all sign will be the Highest Composite class for KU since 2014 , & the highest 247 top class since 2013 So there is better talent on the way. Like has been said it didn't take us just 1-2-3-4-years to get into this crap hole - it just IS NOT going to take 3-4 years to get us out of it , everyone would like for us to be good in BOTH football & Basketball who wouldn't been when you have had crap Coach's like Besty - Weiss - -& Gill you have to be able to understand WHY we are at where were at. - Instant success is just NOT HAPPENING.

Plus like has been said you just can't continue to keep rolling Coaching Staffs every 2 years or so - that kind of way get's you no where we have seen that. - -None of your better talented players want to come and play for that type of unstable situation just doesn't work

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:

19+ are signing early. Grays is my only maybe at this point. Lawrence is signing late. Also, might be a surprise later in the week...

just read from TOS - - one of the top recruits is waiting, gonna visit the University in Jan, Neal I guess is going or suppose to sign at 4.- -we got 9 right off the bat & now there has been nothing for some time.

well 9 confirmed so far and signed. - One thing I noticed. Majik Rector was like the 1st one to verbal coming into this year and now signed, give the kid credit verballed along time ago and stuck with it. - - I have to like a kid like this now days the way things go with kids. - -I know not sure if he will see the field much at leaast early but still have to like kids that make a decision and stik with that decision. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

K/State & Squeaky up 14 at the half - -Iowa State with 12 turnovers Zero free Throw attempts. - -Yet I am NOT impressed - -K-State is Bad But OMG - - Iowa State just flat ugly.

There is ONE kid for squeaks and that's Bradford might be a decent player in the future for him -IF he doesn't transfer out lol- -& footer just basic dunks of lobs right now about it - -these two teams look really bad. - It's Bad on Worse ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Doke's Debut:

I meant he did get him on the head, Iowa state, Nader

but it wasn't intentional deliberate act. - -it was a basketball play going for the block

these guys are for casting league race. - - - they believe these teams will be beating one another up 5 teams in the top 15 - thinking the team that wins the league more likely then not will end up like13-5 - -guess that could be possible. - -I think like 14-4 - -your thoughts/opinions/guess ? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Doke's Debut:

Doke got a flagrant 2 on a block tonight. It definitely wasn't on purpose but he didn't get him on the head.

If anyone can transfer pic/video Doke got ejected for this foul. - called it flagerant - total BS call - -mercy this man mountain can get up - go to twitter and the video is @ bturner 23 - someone put it on here check it out

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2021 Recruiting:

I don't get as much info as I used to, but lock this one in.

ok, got a question Farmer. - -so if Cuffe commits for 2021, that gives us Curry, Clemence , KJ And Cuffe - -would end up being nice class. - -However wouldn't we be over the limit ? - someone getting squeezed out ? ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Let me try to do the math...

In: Curry, Clemence, Cuffe, Adams
Out (or won’t count against the cap of 13): Silvio, Marcus, Mitch

So I think we’re 1 over with Cuffe? With the likelihood of immediate eligibility for transfers, someone will leave. I don’t see anyone going pro early off this team.

ya thought we would be. I'm guessing and or hearing a little bit that maybe - - -Tristan or maybe Gethro /jossell maybe ya think ? I think might be Gethro

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:

This video might give you a glimpse of what he could do at KU. Against high level competition as well.

Some steals that are Chalmers/Garrett esque', the ability to get in the lane and finish or find an open man. He looks like a high level defender now. He had a steal and dunk on one sequence that was absolutely filthy. Hard to imagine this kid isn't a Top 50ish prospect

thanks for that ya, the one just picked him clean nice hops. - tell you also that Kyle collier look pretty dam decent to me also. - -seems like I've heard of him too can't remember where he was going could be wrong

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:

@jayballer67

Jumper isn't broken. Saw plenty of made 3s in highlights but doesn't look like a pure shooter type. Has a bit of low release and probably is best when he's open. He looks better then Garrett or Harris though as a shooter. His athleticism though is off the charts. Explosive leaper and seems to have a wide range of ways he can finish a basket. Definitely looks to have that Frank/Devon fearlessness attacking the basket. And he's a more athletic then both of them which makes him potentially deadly getting to the rack. I love when we get guards that can get in the lane and finish. Been spoiled with that mentality in the last half dozen years

So they say he is announcing where he going to go to College this Saturday at 5:30 - -so I guess he IS re-classifying

@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

@BeddieKU23 said in 2021 Recruiting:

@jayballer67

Definitely think they want him for 21. He fills a major need

This is correct.

It's not that crowded with Garrett leaving. You only have Harris, Thompson, Cuffe and Jossell, with Jossell not really being a factor. There is a decent chance he could be the starting PG. We all like Harris, but Cuffe much moreso fits the mold of what the staff looks for in a PG. He's a fearless driver and willing defender. In an interview over the summer he talked about how he loves playing hard nosed defense and getting steals because all he wants to do is get transition dunks. Either way I would expect him to be part of the rotation next year.

Idk if Ochai will be back but I consider Braun and Ochai to be wings. The staff really wanted a guard for next season, like super badly.

haven't really seen him shoot the ball. - -All I saw was dunks

So do you think he is going to end up re-classifying then ? to 2021.Thats gonna make for a really crowded backcourt isn't it ?

I had heard some that he might be going to St Johns - don't know how true that is

Well that's good news . - - We got De'Kedrick Sterns back. -- -Said he WLL be signing early and enrolling early will be here in Jan. - Has added some weight up to 280.

Kid is a big get for us. Said one reason he had de-committed was the firing of Meadows , and the statement pertains to what I've been saying about ALL our coach's

He said they fired Meadows and he was like man I don't want to go to a school and not know who I'm going to be playing for in 2-3 years. - - You just can't keep a wide open revolving door with Coachs - -you will NEVER get any kind of continuity - Goes for ALL our Coach's

People think simple solution - -oh fire the Coach every 2 years or so, no recruit is going to walk into a situation with a history like that - -alot of kids commit to the Coach not necessarily the School. - -Any ways glad he is back use all these kind of guys w can get got a real chance to contribute immediately/ - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Kcmatt7 said in Coaching Carousel:

I won’t share a source, but I’m hearing rumblings Les will be stepping down after the season.

I fricken hope not - - we will EVER get out of this crap hole if we keep switching Coach's every couple of years. - -you wanna see this 2021 class go right out the window - - WATCH - -if Les is gone - -holy shit this better not be true

When is Cuff making his announcement ? - -If he re-classifies do we want this guy ?

Baylor pausing Activities again from COVID. - - Baylor /Texas postponed 2nd time. Game tomorrow against Texas - -and Tarelton St been postponed - - next game is suppose to be against KState but not sure

Hughes , Robinson Clark , Feaster , Burt

Dam must be one hell of a turnaround. - -Heard this off a sports cast just now on the radio. - -We all remember how Myles Garrett took his helmet off and hit the dude in the head in a football game right ? - - - -NOW his been nominated by his team for the Walton Peyton? - MAN OF THE YEAR award ? - - wow, hmmm

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Non-KU Games Thread:

Kentucky is getting the butts handed to them early against ND. 31-9 Irish halfway into the 1st half.

Also, preseason SEC POY Keyontae Johnson collapsed and had to taken to the hospital in the Florida/FSU game. Johnson collapsed coming out of timeout.

Terrible about Johnson. They were saying at the half that he was at the Hospital Critical But Stable Condition

Well , Norte Dame did every thing in it's power to ruin my weekend. -- At one point they were up 31-9 , and was up 48-26 at half time.

One huge reason a team can go to 1-4 on the season ? - -Go 4-I think 24? - -for the game - -they can not shoot the 3 period. - - They are like 26 % for the year, turn the ball over at costly itmes.

I will give them SOME credit though in the 2nd half defended a lot tighter - -Norte Dame just thought the game only lasted for one half. I can't stand teams that just stand out at the top of the key or beyond and basically just dribble the ball to run the clock down and then they end up forcing shots as time is expiring. - Just about cost them the game - - ugly ugly offense. - -Everyone there knew who was going to get that last shot for Kentucky. - -Norte Dame had NO answer for Sarr - But not to worry Kentucky STILL lost - wish i could say I feel bad - - BUT - - I DON'T LOL - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark said in Non-KU Games Thread:

Garza had an absurd 2nd half holy shit.

there in the 2nd half he in one stretch had Iowa's last 21 points - - AND BALL GAME LOL - -thanks for stopping by

K-State up 66-63 with 3 59 left and Milwaukee at the line

No game Sunday

Man here is a stat- - we got 20 offensive rebounds and Omaha had ONE

@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:

Baker is an easy road trip to Baldwin City. Play on their turf.

Hell maybe that YMCA team that Bill said we couldn't beat a couple years ago might be available

@nwhawkfan said in Omaha Game Thread:

Looks like Emporia State has an open date. And they BEAT Fort Hays.

Gonna be pretty hard to get someone for a game in a couple of days I'd think. - - Yet maybe one of the state schools like that - -Emporia St = =or Ft Hays St give some the other guys some more game experience

@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:

@jayballer67 Fort Hays deserves a shot to claim state's best

ya they do lol

Tyon had a pretty good game

@BShark said in Omaha Game Thread:

Creighton ended up beating Nebraska by 24

dam - to good to have a 2nd loss back to back especially when they are playing at home

@DanR said in Omaha Game Thread:

Just practice the offense. No need to schedule some lightweight like WSU. Maybe Fort Hays.

I don't know - - Ft Hays could beat us just as SQUEAKY lol

No Sunday - next game will be much different - -- Texas Tech

@wissox said in Non-KU Games Thread:

Coach K is talking like they should end college hoops now. Convenient for him since his team sucks.

ya, and the SAD thing about this is - -he is going to keep whining long enough and the N " CRAP " CAA - will end up saying OH Dady K says we shouldn't so let's shut it down - -bunch of BS

@FarmerJayhawk said in Texas:

Parchment gone.

SOB - -well Mayberry & Parchment Seniors anyways. Can't blame Parchment, what a wasted year. - how many receptions he have anyways ? - didn't have anyone who could get him the ball or beter yet - -the time to get him the ball

Dam , well he really saw reduced playing time, better kids over him I just think he saw the writing ,you got that group of CB's that is fresh coming in - -just hope Deuce sticks around
