Noted today on 247
"The potential growth of both prospects during their time in Lawrence will be exciting to see. However, they might not be the only frontcourt members of this class as the Jayhawks are in the mix to receive a commitment from four-star late-blooming big man Jonas Aidoo."
Ya I have heard we in the mix anyways. I don't know but for some reason I think if we were or could get him to commit i think he could be a pretty good player in time pretty solid on the inside defensively from what I heard rim protector and has some game to him seen some highlights- - but as we know they are hughlights - I just get this feel he would be a nice pick uyp
this is the ONLY thing they could and should do - - BYE BYE Marsha , well rightfully this is the only way - -guess they will find new place for the wife to booze it up lmao, they can sit on the couch and she can suck the suds and he can talk about practice lol

Bigtime looking forward to some Jayhawk basketball.
Don't hold your breath for a complete season. The way the Governor was talking during her conference just now Basketball was brought up. They were talking assuming about High Schools but if the virus is bad enough which it is - -getting really insane all ICU beds now full in Wichita at both hospitals but anyways talking and saying we got lucky with outdoor sports but now we are dealing with indoors. - -Saying we might have to find a different way to shoot a 3 pointer.
All these States spiking really big I would be willing to bet were going to see Cancellations and or inneruptions and if it doesn't improve as there are Schools now talking about total remote/on line again we are going to end up losing our season to this crap - - AGAIN
Well things just keep getting worse. 5,920 new cases from last Friday to Monday - -15 more deaths - -count for this , is at 103,553 cases since it began
K-State has huge problem Riley Co health listing K-state Football , Track & Field & Cross country teams with out breaks. - - K-State football coach said they have to be really care as they have seen Huge jump - saying they have counts of 20 upwards players with the COVID. - Saying they have to be care and play against themselves as they have no Scout team.
Governer Kelly was asked about Basketball with the Schools , and she said some schools are already discussing the Basketball Season saying what might be and she said we had got kind of lucky already from the fall sports BUT those were outdoors - - NOW we are talking about indoors , and the reporter saying that's kind of a hard situation for a Basketball State - - she responded said yes , but we might have to figure out another way of Shooting the 3 pointer - -I'm telling you I am afraid our Basketball Season is going to be screwed again by this virus - - starting of cancelling some games and if were not careful losing the Season - - AGAIN
How about this Jonas Aidoo ? - -Any thoughts on him ? - -you think there is any possible chance we could land him ? - -looks solid only really true blue blood like the article says that on his final 10..

@Crimsonorblue22 said there are now 21 States in the Red Zone , it's just crazy - -they talking about NY again NJ and Conn -- here we go
listened to his conference, made a pretty profound statement towards the end he said : Guys do what you do I don't blame you for believing in what you believe in BUT for me I have no problem wearing a Mask - -hell I'll even wear an Apron he said if tha'ts what I'm told i need to do to beat this thing
he said right now he doesn't feel to bad - - no temp just a little bit of a cough nothing to serious though 0 said but he is only two days in , could get a little worse he said who knows - just has no idea where he could of got it - -said hell may have touched something then touched his eyes , said he may never know justhoping for the best for Coach Izzo
DAM , just found out Izzo from Michigan State has tested positive for the COVID. - - was watching his release video talking about - - seems to be a little shook. Says still trying to figure it out , has no idea how he got it.
Says he has followed all the guidelines and says just goes to show how serious this really is. Says he has visited any Frat houses or anything just been pretty much work and staying at home - -Only thing I can say hoping all turns out for Coach - -seems to be a quality guy always has some really good teams = - -sorry to hear- -like i said sure looks/sounds like caught him off guard said they had been following testing and all that stuff. - -Anyways good Luck Coach
Read where a Day Care Center here in Topeks - - Name of Building Blocks which is run by Stormont Vail Hospital ha been closed down until least Nov 23rd. - -The Article said that 18-44 employees have tested positive for the COVID & that they will re-test the other employess that tested Negative before they re-open - -not Good,
Also saw that in Lyon County the Emporia Senior Center is closed until further notice because of COVID - - - Riley County reported 126 New Cases from Saturday to Today - -community spread which means they don't know how they contracted it.
3 elementary schools having multiple kids coming down with the COVID - -Schools are talking about shutting down , my neighbors girl - the Prinicipal told her mom that they will be going to on line - -this is in the 501 Topeka Public Schools- - just keeps getting better

I read that ESPN had mentioned or entertained the idea but guess not that seriously and not sure how much influence they would of had - -BUT guess it had at least been mentioned about Kentucky playing at the Phog for a minute - -but we see who has MORE pull lol
The MSU/Duke game has nothing to do with how pull Duke has. They played each other at MSU last season in the ACC/B10 Challenge so logic would dictate the next on campus game between the two should be in Durham at Duke.
The reason they're playing on campus instead of in Indy with KU/Kentucky is because of the ACC and B10 Covid protocols not matching what the B12/SEC have in place in regards to neutral court games sontte ACC/B10 couldn't come to an agreement to play their game in Indy as well.
well thank you for that

@wissox said in Preseason AP Top 25 Poll:
Ha Iowa, what a joke. They'll be good, but what ever talent they have gets negated by the other Fran I dislike. They have almost a worse basketball resume than the state they share a border with misery. 1979 conference champ (their last) which is impressive actually as that was Magic's championship season at MSU. FF in 1980 and a couple in the 50's That's it.
Of course maybe this poll accidentally posted here was the wrestling poll. Then Iowa deserves to be highly ranked.
NEVER have liked Iowa , don't ask me why , maybe the Coach just something about them rubs me wrong
@jayhawks2010 said in Kind of excited about this /Nephew:
He had a pretty good debut!!
Thank you , yes I feel like for making his 1st start in the NFL he did pretty decent job for sure. - - He started cause the starter is out with a thumb injury not sure how long that will be , probably not to long but still - - was happy for the guy - if he just could of completed to 2 point conversion would of been awesome - lost 27-25 but I think he showed he might be a quality backup QB for them for awhile - - thanks buddy - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well Jake has nothing to be upset about - -true the Jaguars lost , BUT for his 1st start of his NFL career he was 26-38 in passing attempts - - -304 yards passing - - 1 passing TD & 1 rushing TD - -but also had a very crucial interception - -but for his 1st start - I would think he would have to get a passing score - -lost 27-25 - -Good Job Jake
Well not a bad start for the wife's Nephew. Jake 2nd attempted NFL pass results in a 73 yard TD bomb - - way to go buddy
@stoptheflop said in KU/Oklahoma oh boy here we go:
Is this going to be KU fooball's worst year? The 38 to 23 loss to CC was our most competitive game. I'm sure we've never fielded a worse offense. I was expecting (hoping) for baby steps forward. Instead, the offense has taken a huge step backwards so the defense has no chance of keeping the games close
Our offensive line is killing us - - Daniels has ZERO time spends almost the entire day running for his life. - - Course it doesn't help when you missing key offensive lineman - - you have lost your top 2 running backs - - Williams opting out and then Garner out, -- missing three of your top recievers - - things like that sure doesn't help - - - then we lose two of our top defensive linemen - - Terry & Harris - - when your fighting to keep your head above water you just can't afford these kinds of problems

well I know this is nothing about KC or local but kind of excited just the same. - -My Wife's Nephew Jake Luton plays QB for the Jacksonville Jaguars - -he is getting his 1st start today against Houston as the normal starter is out with a thumb injury.
Jake played for Oregon State , this will be his 1st action since the final game last yr at Oregon State. - -Did pretty well in that game although they lost 54-53.

I don't think Trump will check out. It's not in his nature. He's going to do some stupid stuff.
And if Biden is saying what he is going to do to combat the current problems Trump will not be able to stfu when he sees he's being cast as a do nothing president.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in The other thread pretty lengthy - new one Covid:
It would help if elected officials in Kansas would wear masks, specifically dr roger Marshall and dr Mark steffen(hutch) doctors, no less! Hospitals are full and on Halloween they had a big ass trump rally here, trump train, ending in a bbq dinner in a building, none of them wearing masks! We are working so hard to keep kids in school and businesses open by following safety protocols. Steffen wants to get rid of all of those!
I think also too is that so many people are just so tired of the virus that they are taking an they are not going to tell me what to do attitude. - - They consider wearing a mask as an incovience no ones really wants to , but we just need to do our part - -WEAR the mask - -easy enough. let's do our part at least , I don't think we are really that close to a cure - it's gonna be here for some time
Another question I have is - - when they DO find or develop a cure , then the question becomes who gets the injection ? - -how much is the injection gonna cost ? - -give it to the one's that can afford it and the one's that can't doesn't get it ?
@FarmerJayhawk said in KU/Oklahoma oh boy here we go:
No Gardner, Hughes, Robinson, Thompson, and a bunch of others. We’re going to lose by a million

heard Ku has 67 underclassman - - 67 - - like a 38 point underdog probably not enough

@jayballer67 It’s not going to end it but it will be nice to have a president who believes in science running the governments response to this instead of a guy who just got bored and gave up. I’m hoping we may have it under control by the summer.
Until then, stay in as much as possible, order to go, wear a mask, wash your hands, and stay at least 6 feet away from other people!
all we can do - just do what WE can do
I know guys , I know people get tired of hearing about it - - reading about it , the Virus BUT it is what it is.
Read this today : It said the daily c Saying that we had been warned for months about a 2nd wave coming well it's here counts is climbing in 48 States, The US recorded it's highest number of new daily cases, & as a result now some regions are showing signs of 2nd shutdown , new restrictions on restaurants , & bars and saying to avoid unnecessary travel , some States issuing curfews in order to stem the number of new infections. - 13 States at the present showing signs of shutting down. - -Some of these numbers is staggering:
Florida : - - -New cases have jumped/increased by 42 % over the past 2 week
Michigan : - - - New COVID infections up -114 % - - -holy crap 114 % from daily average count over the last 2 weeks. - - imposing restrictions like masks MUST be worn when more then 2 people present at stores or office or School - -more restrictions then just this
Conn: - - - over 50 % increase in cases over the past 2 weeks - new restrictions of restaurants down to 50 % Capacity event venues down to 25 people indoors & 50 outdoors - - Capping religious gatherings to 50 % or 100 people - - -other restrictions
Mass: - - - A increase of 70 % over the last 2 weeks they are instituting nightly stay at home from 10:00 p.m. to 5:00 a.m. - rest , gym's , theaters , casinos must close by 9:30 - -other restrictions
Illinois :- - - new cases up 86 % - over the past two weeks ban on indoor dining , and ban all outdoor dining must be done by 11 . Any gatherings are limited to under 25 guests and 25 % of capacity overall

Colorado : - - COVID increase of 130 %
Wisc - -having restrictions - -

Didn't bothering writing the others just to long but you get the Idea
I know here in Shawnee Co - St Mt Vail said hospitalizations is as high as it's ever been - -we jumped 70 % in new case and the positivity rate is at like 14/15 % - -1st time it's been over 10 % since the pandemic we are falling deep in the uncontrolled of the virus
Was talking to my friend who has a daughter in the schools and the Prinicpal of USD - that's all Topeka public schools that safd YES they will be closing the Schools - - Again hoping to make it to Thanksgiving then will be all at home until at least after the 1st of the year.
Bottom line don't be surprised when we start to shut down again - - fully believe it's coming and coming soon - -all signs pointing that way and it's already started
@mayjay said in Billy Tubbs... RIP (for once!):
@wissox Well, in fairness, OU averaged over 100 pts a game and it was by no mean just Billy Packer who turned out wrong--nobody expected KU to run with OU in the first half (both teams slowed up in the 2nd). And Brown himself didn't expect it. Letting the team loose was a response to the fact that KU shot the lights out in the first half while playing fast, missing only about 3 FGs. He would have reined them in otherwise.
Trashing Billy P makes it sound like the KU victory was somewhat expected, as if he was some aberrant pessimist about KU. KU had Manning, but no one expected the Miracles to play their heads off.
YA I remember that game for sure. - - Seems like I remember Billy saying that KU didn't want to get into a running game with Oklahoma or up and down - -something to that effect I think, I had a hard time watching that myself and just thinking point blank - - - DAM what a game in that 1st half 50-50 right ? some role players making big plays, remember Clint Normore hitting a huge shot from the top of the key late if I remember right, everybody play some really important parts in that game - - what a game.
Is it just me or what > - Mercy seems like it's been forever for College Basketball to come around again - -seems like forever, I have been counting the day - -been a long football College Season - - Again - My team pro didn't cut it - -waiting and hoping for good things from the boys.

This whole Arizona thing isn't over yet. - - they said Trump would need to get 57 % in Mericope Co to stay in the race for Arizona - -and that's exactly what he got - -57 % . they were saying if he wins Arizona and holds Pennsylvania Trump will win.
In Pennsylvania they said they have Democratic clerks coming forward and bringing forth things about illegal activity from Democratic party
They talking about like 23,000 votes from a dump vote in Pennsylvania and Biden got EVERY Single vote 100 % - -ZERO votes for Trump in that 23,000 dump vote - - roflmao - -like they saying ummmm something for sure wrong there. - -this is about to get REAL UGLY
Has anyone heard - has the Champions Classic actually been finalized and where if it has? -I know they was talking like they were going to try to get it done but haven't heard anything final and in Concrete anyone know ?

@jayballer67 unless I'm not understanding precedent here, which is entirely possible, I assume you can file suit for a REcount, but filing suit to stop the actual counting is an attempt to subvert democracy. There is no indication of wrong doing here, this is just more Trump bullshit exceptionalism.
I'm just ready to get past this bullshit , it's like twiddle dee - -& twiddle dum, If it was turned around it would be exactly the same song 2nd verse.
I just wonder now how long it will be after Biden is elected before you see the insane shit - - Kim Chun - raise up and test Biden , He probably has his Nation worshipping him big time tonight cause the guy that didn't take no shit from him is no longer in office.
You can take it to the Bank he will challenge Biden - -I'm still waiting for a DECENT PICK for president again - -been to long

Trump is suing to stop ballot counts in Michigan? Gtfo of here with this bs.
it's happening
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in All Politicked Out? Election 2020:
@FarmerJayhawk The AP has already called Arizona for Biden. They currently have Biden leading by about 100k votes with 84% reporting.
The only states the AP hasn't called yet are Alaska, Georgia, Michigan, Nevada, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania.
The current totals as of about 2:30pm Central Time have Trump leading Alaska, Georgia, North Carolina, and Pennsylvania and Biden leading Michigan and Nevada.
Only chance Trump has is to hold all 4 of those states, he'll win Alaska and probably North Carolina, and flip Nevada, but Pennsylvania will almost for sure flip to Biden once the votes are in.
I think it's going to end up at 290-248 Biden with Joe taking Michigan, Nevada, and flipping Pennsylvania and Trump winning Alaska, Georgia, and North Carolina.
Arizona has come to play with Trump - -something more on the votes - this whole thing is jsut crazy/ugly lawsuits - -recounts - - people saying ballots shouldn't be counted that was post marked to late just insane.
Knew this was coming
This dam thing just keeps coming back and kicking our ass. - - Latest out of Kansas , all but 6 counties in the red which is very high to uncontrolled. - -We just set another record for the largest number of reported COVID-19 over the last 7 days.
Kansas has over 4,ooo new reported cases since Friday. Gives the State a rolling average over the last 7 days of 1.507 cases per day COVID-19 has risen/spiked up 18 % will 19 new Deaths total of Deaths is now 1,406 - -that's to many - - ONE is to many.
Missouri just getting blasted right now , they just had their 1st Death of a child under 14 years of age - - an 8th Grader that passed just 2 weeks after testing positive, hospitalizations way up, - -Dam when is this going to stop ?
like the article was saying that I posted the other day. Coach Self saying Christian , and Tristan , & Jalen all 3 had had really good practices from the beginning of practice. Would love to see Christina and Tristan BOTH have really good Seasons.

KU is very interested and in fairly good. The staff would also love to get Mac Etienne but that is not happening. Once he announces (Ill or Miami?) then I think Aidoo is the top target at the 5.

Covid, close to home. My bro in laws uncle passed today. 61. Healthy guy. Cattle rancher from s. Ks. Like most rural Kansans, where cases are raising like crazy, didn't wear a mask. He gave it to his wife and daughter, but they were ok. He's been in wichita about 2 weeks on a vent. Finally pulled it today. Sad day! So simple to wear one, do it for others. This guy was a very good man.
So sorry to hear, mercy wish this thing could go away. - -God be with you and yours my friend
Anybody know ? - - Is KU interested in Jonas Aidoo at all ? - - -Or better how serious are we with him and what are the chances ?
Off his 247 listed at # 120 but heard he moving up profile says he is 6'11 but they talk and say 7 ft, saw where in his 247 we were 1 of the top 5 schools he listed in interest and listed as warm
Then read off TOS we had made top 10 - says he was looking at hopefully Jan to be able to know - - -ANYBODY got anything on him ?
Mercy just not getting any better for the football team. Drun Prox one of the better in the secondary announced to Coach Miles that he was opting out for the remainder of the Season.

@stoptheflop said in ISU Game:
Anyone else frustrated by the success of Coastal Carolina? CC has made to transition to D1 look easy. 15 years of struggle for KU, but CC gets ranked in the top 25 in its third year in Div 1. OUCH
ya I seen today while the game was on they were ranked # 20 and won their game today 51-0
So a question here is with all the players that we have had go down in this game plus the one's already out without 3 of our top 5 receivers - - -no Fergurson , no Prox our top 2 punters -would you say we played just about as well as we could at this point and time with who we have ? All these freshmen?
Coach said that Doke looks even better then what he did last year , in really good physical shape - - him and Dotson both
I don't know might be crazy , good chance of that or maybe it's just a reach but I just think you can see some pieces on this team, Parker , Potter , Harris , Grimm , Daniels , Hishaw, -for some, you can see the talent pieces kinda makes even more frustrating.
The thing the most that I can see or one of the bigger ones - is the dang O-Line - - if we could just get some better protection.
So young mercy,, guess that means better things in the future maybe - - think so saw the graphic of whaa 14 Freshman have made their 1st Career Starts - -I know it might be a reach but I think we maybe getting close to at least being more competitive sure hope so. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Don't know if you all have seen but they talked to Coach Self , talked about how they had their 2nd scrimmage I think Thursday.
Coach Self talk about how there was some good , some bad things take place - -like nobody guarding anybody lol. However he did have some good things to say about Thursday
He said that Tristan Enaruna , Chrisitan Braun & Jalen Wilson have been playing really well - - not only Thursday but ever since practice began o October 15th, Also saying he thought Christian had been having the best camp of anyone on the year. - -that these guys have ha a terrific camp.
I saw an article with like the top 100 left players came off ESPN - had Doke at 33. - -a report on him:
Listed Strengths: Elite physical tools , Dominant in the paint with his 270 pund frame 7'8 wing span , and 9'4 standing reach, significanity improved hands and timing on a finish.
Area's of needed improvement : Question was wondering how much more he could improve , shot a very low 44% from the free throw line , How he will fit in Modern Game , And at times has an inconsistant approach to the game causing friction between him at staff while at KU
Projected Role : Imposing throw Back big
Couple of notes found interesting , they Dotson at # 47 - -then they also mention that Kenny Gregory still holds the all time record in NBA History in Max Vertical at 44.5 inches - - did nknow that , good for Kenny
