Well things noticed & thought about. # 1 - -w had heard and already knew that our defense sucks and we are going to have to out score people. # 2 all I got to say to Coach Self is - - - - -GOOD LUCK with Storr, he is really going o wear on Self , the kid doesn't give two flips about trying to defend, seems like he wants to be a black hole on offense , something going to have to give before w get into the Season. I got tired of hearing we had three of our players out -- -Guess what Arkansas had multiple players out too , quit making excuses. Hunter would of been the perfect fit - -would of fit right in with the rest of our horrible defense. -Sorr is going to be a Challenge.

Flory & Passmore look like when it's all said and done are going to be very good players for us- -and then if we are going to have to depend on Juan leading us in our three point shooting-- -we are in for a long Season.

Heard on a KU podcast the other day, if you had the option which would you rather have- -- Juan with more of a big breakout year - -be a bigger scoring PG , more aggressive - -OR better defensively and turning the ball over less. -I think you want him turning the ball over less, He is gonna have more Scorers around him this year and should be able to distribute the ball better and better defense. If we think it's gonna be the same as last yr , I think your wrong.- -This was an exhibition and give Mayo & Diggy time to adjust , they are going to be fine-- Then we have Griffen who was out -- I think k Mayo will settle down & adjust- - the only problem is going to be Storr and dealing with his outlook & Attitude. Like they mentioned on the Podcaast - - Storr is going to have to acept that the offens is going to revolve around Hunter plain and simple

@rockchalkjayhawk said in Basketball Season:

Just checked and I think i get the SEC network. So, hope to watch the Hawks scrimmage tonight!

I got it. Self says they are playing quarters & going to be in a position where the Coach can actually teach and show what they are doing wrong/certain situations

Well just read this - KU radio Station change out of Lawrence said effective immediately which includes tonight's scrimmage.

Moving from 105.9 - -will now be broadcasting off new station 92.9. This all ha something to do with new ownership. Just thought for those who like to listen sometimes off Radio games now on 92.9- -ROCK CHALK Fella's

Well Nebraska had to do something to let the fans in their football stadium see something good so they put their volleyball team in it.

LMAO that's funny, true but funny. Actually they always have a really good Volleyball team 2nd in the Nation again always sell out. -Ku sellling out all the time , just not ner the cpacity

@FarmerJayhawk said in AFH:

Just got home from the open house, they did really great job sprucing up the place.

Is the new scoreboard pretty cool ? - Needed a new different one for some time

I realize this game is going to charity, I wonder which charity ? -T he bigger question for me is what si Coach looking to get out of this scrimmage ?- -Any particular Area ? -hoping no more players get banged up.

@wissox said in Our Ladies still staying very aggressive:

@jayballer67 I happened across the match last night. We're winning 18-13 in 3rd set, they fell apart and lost the set. I checked back and saw them win the 4th set. The sport is really starting to draw eyeballs nationally. Not sure if any match would've been nationally televised on anything other than the conferences own networks. UW has two matches coming up on NBC. Unimaginable until just very recent. I follow them as they've had great success, multiple FF's and even a Natty.

Your 100 % correct . The sport hsa really takin off, I know Wisconsin is really good , I know or think about the other one that reaches National TV right now is Nebraska - - always unbelievable team. Shoot they have sellouts all the time and they had a match that was on National Tv and they had like 80,000 fans they played it I believe in their football Stadium -- just whacko

I started really following some years back when Ku had Kelsie Payne really good player. Yor right I watched last Night - first set ISU came out strong KU fell behind substantial but came back ending the first match on a 7-0 run , Second set they pretty well controlled -third set like you said I dunno just seemed ut of whack but finished strong. Love Watching, they lose a lot after this Season but have some really good players coming back

I believe Swanson is back , got two really good freshmen Platek , & Burgess REALLY GOOD and the number 5 ranked class for next year pretty cool to watch- - - 17- - - 1 now the only un-deafted team in league . - -Got some tough ones coming up - - # 21 Utah Saturday and they also have # 13 Arizona St. I think that one will be HUGE - -Thanks for responding , glad you got to see

Awesome so I guess that means I can count on your vote lol

@jayballer67 Guys if you never had the chance to watch our Ladies in Volleyball - - tonight's your chance. The Ladies who are 16 -- -- -& 1 -- - and ranked 9th in the Nation - - -not sure why the hell they dropped from 8 th ---to 9th when they won both contests lst week but anyways if you have never seen they play - - -check it out pretty cool stuff,

The Ladies play Iowa State tonight at 6:30 on FS-1 seriously give it a try, got some real athletic women on the squad goes to show we do have more then just Basketball reprresenting the University and doing dam well at it - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG LADIES

The jets thought Rodgers was their miracle man. I was glad to see him go, Aaron is all about me , me , me -just full of drama. - Now the Jets see what they got - -I'm perfectly happy with Jordon Love , kind of a loose cannon but in time he will get that straightened out.- -Rogers is done, he is past his best years and just needs to retire

The Jeets thought as soon as they got him it was oh my God we are going to the Super Bowl -- ummm NOPE Aaron was really good in his prime - - -now not so much.

@AsadZ said in 2025 recruits - - -starting off well:

@Texas-Hawk-10 Bummer, could 2-5 record be the reason

OR Maybe - - just Maybe NIL could be the reason

@dylans said in The Yankees:

@AsadZ yeah. I’m. Fan of Judge. He’s a specimen and humble a truly rare combination.

Another is Stanton , not flashy cocky at all, kind of quiet- - has had a pretty nice post Season and his forearms and bi -ceps - - good lord

@mayjay said in The Yankees:

@AsadZ said in The Yankees:

I watched Judge in some interviews and got an impression that he is genuinely a nice dude, humble and not arrogant.

I cant say the same about Soto.

If I were a 25 year old with Soto's experience and accomplishments and skills, I wouldn't be humble either. Some people who are arrogant are just jerks, but a very elite few are just that good.

No doubt he is good, glad we have him for this ONE year lol

It's crazy --Houston had been averaging 156 yards passing against them- - Jalen had 247 -- -they were giving up ---295 yards total per game ,-- -KU got-----447 yards.--- Just had a complete - - Boy I tell you what JB Brown hd himself a ball game game today - -All weapons

WHY - - -WHY - -- WHY -- -does anyone ever throw at Mamba lmao

Upside for sure is all around complete game , some would say well it was Houston BUT thing is Houston has the Fourth best Defense in the Big Twelve.- - - They ranked Eleventh in the Nation in Pass Defense - -& Eighteenth in the Nation in total Defense. - -They were giving up Twenty One points per game----We get 42

Jalen throw for ---- -247 yards - -Ran for 58 yards -was like over eighty percentile in completions , For a change those middle minutes we made that stop before half - - -stopped them coming out in the 2nd half - -we HAD given up - -45 points in the final Three Minutes of the half -- We HAD given up - --66 points in the 4th quarter - - -NOT TODAY

Hope Daniel isn't hurt to bad -Glad Arnold finally woke up-- -he HAD before today only had -- 16 catchs on the Season. - -Crowd was pretty say - -Maybe 25,000 maybe - -tops 30,000- -but who didn't see that coming.

Thing is--dam we have either led or been right there in EVERY FRICKEN GAME LATTE -Defense collasped late , Man we could just as easily be -5 - - -2 - -instead of - -2 --5 .

Now the down sid,- -we got our toughest stretch coming up. Before Season started would of neve thought that-- We have K/State - - BYU - -- & Iowa - -ST. - -K/State & BYU on the Road and Iowa ST fans gonna show for sure- - Great win today

@kjayhawks said in KU Houston:

We have to have 4 sacks and 5 or 6 TFLs to go with the 3 picks

KU ended up with SIX SACKS - - - TWELVE TFL'S - -& FOUR INT'S

@kjayhawks He needs 78 yards to get the record

So the kid from Oklahoma - -Jalen Montonati cancelled his visit at the last minute too ?

Dam a little non topic here but just saw that our former boy had himself a night - - - -Zuby Ejifor believe he is at St Johns now and they had a game against Rutgers who has Dylan /harper & Ace Bailey but - - -Zuby went off for - -27 points - -& 13 rebounds.- -holy crap where did that come from

Conflicting conversation --- Been hearing that there wasn't going to be any recruits at late night tonight & yet Swain put out an article saying there was going o be three elite recruits there for late night tonight.--So which is it ?

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU and questions about NIL:

Just an educated guess, but KU has a top 5 NIL program for hoops. We can go out and get guys like Hunt and Storr without much trouble retaining talent.

Well thank you for your response, cause I seriously didn't know. Was just curious if we would or could be if we wanted a really good player where we knew there would be serious offers and how long could we compete if need be in a biddin war in the NIL for the player

Man how things/time has changed. Things used to be so much easier years back. You might hear about what kind of spot a School was in with a kid , but that would be it.-- Next thing you would know was he would be signing on NLI day. There wasn't any of these breaking down - -well I've narrowed my list of Schools to 12---down to Six/ -- four Schools, You didn't have all these 247 announcements - - ON 3 announcements---- You didn't have a kid sitting at a table with all these hats in front of him , or have a Band and High School Cheer leaders dong little dances - - -Times have just changed WHEWIE..

The question is guys and totally honest cause I have no idea BUT am curious - -- where does KU stand in the NIL ? Yes I know we have and do pay players in NIL, but the Question is where do we stand ? - -Do we have donors with Deep pockets ? If it comes to a bidding war can we hold our ground ? How deep are we ? can we seriously compete with others for a solidified bidding war for a player?/players.- -That is another question , are our NIL pockets deep enough for multiple players for NIL bidding Can we go after more then one if it comes to that with NIL from the portal ?

It's sad that it has came to this , basically like wagering/bidding for a player in free agency in pro sports - they have taken the fun from the sports- -you don't have the money - - -your screwed - -miss the days when kids just wanted to go out and compete in the sport and truly work their ass off to get the chance to go the NBA - -Now Schools pretty much buy Championships or to put themselves in a better position for one. - So question is DO WE ( KU ) have the money to compete in the new meat market ?

Couple of tid bits I ran across. # 1 was I guess Bill and some Staff had another visit with Darryn Wednesday , probably making sure everything still good- -- probably cause Darryn paid another visit to USC -- -sure don't need anther DeAndre Ayton episode.

Then read where Ament just signed a deal with Rebok - -think that pretty well takes cars of any chance we might of had with him -- id we really ever did have any kind of chance

Well guys about all I can say for the Ladies tonight is they won , that's it.

They played terrible , had to go the full five sets was down 2/1--had to win the last two. .Not sure if they just over looked K State or what but just out of sync all night, I guess even good teams have this every one in awhile.-- They won 19/25- --25/15 - - 22/25- - -- 25/20- -- 7 15/10.

This was our first five set match this Season - -K/State it was their fourth straight five set match in a row.

So we take the win, -- go to -- -15 - - - 1- -on the Season and 6 - - -- - 0 in Conference play. Better play better Saturday at UCF.- -Let's go ladies

@jayballer67 said in 2025 Recruiting:

those would be very solid. - -how big is Denis ?

Depends how you treat it…wait I need reading glasses. What did you type? 😝

time for a checkup lol

@dylans said in Look at the schedule!:

@rockchalkjayhawk the fees are crazy!!! $300 tickets turn into $550. lol wtf!!!🤬

Ya I've been a KU fan for right t 62 years now. Used to be able to go to games- -me for one who just doesn't have excess money I can toss away will neve be in the Phog again - - just can't afford it.- -By the time you figure in your tickets -- - your parking -- - and Concessions --therre is just no way for someone who lives off a retricted income.

Hell I remember in Concessions just for what THEY CALLLED A JUMBO DOD cost 6 six bucks just for it by it'self.- -If I'm going to pay six Dollars for a plain hot dog - -which is what it was, nothing JUMBO about it--- if I pay Si dollars for that-- -I tell you what that hot dog better do something REALLY , REALLY , SPECIAL for me

Well dam. If indeed Denis has cancelled his visit then that's not good. Really makes you wonder what in the hell has Things sure have changed happened with the whole recruiting thing. Part of or one question you have to ask is with the amount of recruits that we were perceived to be in on m akes you wonder the truth like Eric Reibe- - Did we actually cool on him OR did he cool on us ?- - - -Did We cool on Sabastian Williams OR did he cool on us- - - Have w Cooled on Isaiah Denis OR has he cooled on us ? to name those most recent three - What's the real truth ?

Another BIG thing is - -- has NIL impacted recruiting that much? - -Has recruiting just turn into a bidding war on a piece of meat ? -Do recruits not consider about the Quality of the Coach anymore ? -The traditions of Schools ? So on & so on Has it gotten strictly to the point of the Dollar ? Whoever the highest bidder ? -We are really becoming the minor league for the NBA. - -This Nil - -BS is or well on the way has ruined the College sport- - -taking the fun out of it.

What happened to the days of where guys committed to a School because the name of the School - --The Coach - the tradition , just ruins it for the average fan. How can any fan really ever get investted to a kid anymore, be able to say Dam that kid is really good and get the chance to know the kid. It's just sicking.

@wissox said in Preseason Talk- AP Poll, Big-12 Poll etc.:

IDK, I started a thread on the schedule several weeks ago and people weren't that impressed. Seems like a pretty good blue blood loaded schedule.

You hit it on the head. It's a Loaded Schedule ,Bill never backs down for a tough Season, Sometimes wonder if it helps us more or hurts us more, by the time we hit the end of the Season were so beat up from playing rugged Season -But I'll take it .Rather play these types of games other then the YMCA'S - -Pine Bluffs , & others like Saint Mary sisters of the poor. Again you were absolutely 100/5 correct.

Well might be nothing --- Might be something , BUT I just saw off 247 rankings that Isaiah Denis is making his commit announcement on Nov 2nd.

Isaiah is attending late night here on the 18th.-- Now I could be wrong but wouldn't you think if you were him and you already knew where you were going to play and you already had your announcement made -Why would he come to a event like late night if he wasn't planning on committing to KU and he has made or set his announcement date ?- - Things that make you go hmmm -- Close the deal guys IF it's not already sealed.

Could be a really BIG couple of days ffor us.- - Peteson on the 1st - - Denis on the 2nd---would be sweet.

I read today that Dominick Puni was really doing well for the forty-niners. - -Getting a lot of Praise from their Head Coach and players.-- Said he was on track for pro bowl-,- --talking about how he can play ALL five positions in O-Line - -he hasn't given up a QB sack through six games or a touch - -other players are really impressed by him Proud of our boy- - -ROCK CJALK great job Dominick

@BeddieKU23 said in 2025 Recruiting:

@jayballer67

UConn all the way now. Doesn't sound like KU pushed all in for him otherwise I think it would have been KU. Looking like we are going in different direction for a possible 5 man to pair with Flory.

you Heard any names on who it might be ? -- High School - - -Portal ? , think w could use a mobile big that could stretch the floor, more of a typical NBA 5 now days, A big that can play out in space instead of the typical slow white boy Hunter type that can't guard the statue of Liberty -someone who can move

Just listened to locked on U Conn & guess Eric Reibe is announcing Wednesday. - U Conn pretty confident, I thought he was pretty much sowed up to Creighton .

@nuleafjhawk said in !st - -AP Poll is out.:

@jayballer67 I guess this isn't a football poll ......

LMAO -- -you goof , lol

• • Well not saying anyone here has said anything about this BUT there are some idiots across the Nation that do and THAT IS that Ku doesn't play anybody - -for real some idiots actually say that. -- Let's look at this year shall we - Coach doesn't back away from anybody.- - This yr our schedule has us playing at least at some point in the Season, might not be this way when we get around to playing BUT - --

KU ha to play the # 3- - - --# 5 -- - -# 7- -- # 8 - - -# 10- - ---# 15- - - # 16 ( exhibition ) -& the 20th ranked team. - -That's Nobody lmao

1 - - -KU- - - -# 3 - - Houston - - -# 5 -- -Iowa State , - - -# 8- - Baylor --- # 10 - - -Arizona - -& 20 Cincinnati

Dam league LOADED AGAIN We just gonna be beating one another up all year- - - AGAIN

Some updates with the Ladies, latest rankings not out yet. I expect they stay the same -- - 7th in the NCAA rankings & 8th in the ASVCA I think it is.

Think about this for dominance-- out of the FIFTHY sets KU has played so far this season- - The Ladies are 42 and - --8 - - -they have had NINE SWEEPS out of their first 15 games they have played --we have the # 1 setter in the Nation ( Turner ) at over ELVEN assists per set - -were 1st in the Conference in hitting percentage , I think 2nd in blocks- -you really need to check these Ladies out- - pretty dam good.

Well read sounds like some pretty interesting /god news if it turns out to be true this Moening.- Jamie Shaw from ON Three is predicting KU will land two - - -five star recruits & possibly a third.

One we know about and have known about for some time , that one being Peterson the # 3 player on 247- -then Jamie is also predicting that KU will land /tiller - -the # 20 player on 247.

Jamie also said that KU is dangerous in the hunt for Ament , saying KU very much in the hunt for Ament. I had heard some rumors but I guess we might be in deeper with him then I thought. - -This is all FWIW but if it turns out to be right I'd be a happy camper , time will tell
