@FarmerJayhawk said in 2023 Season Predictions:
I’ve heard good things about the secondary. Like NFL scouts think Mello is a real pro. And obviously Cobee is super talented, he’s just got to tighten things up. Marvin Grant got better as the season went on and the belief is he can keep getting better. Kenny kinda just is what he is now. But if those guys take a step forward it’ll make the DL look a lot better.
So while yes it is literally true the defense could be worse it’s also literally true I could get a date with Hillary Duff this weekend.
you sly devil - - -Hillary Duff- -dam I'm envious Hillary whoaaa
@Kcmatt7 said in 2023 Season Predictions:
I got season tickets this year for the first time. Pretty darn excited to see how it goes.... Below is my W/L projection.
- Missouri State - W
- Illinois - W
- @ Nevada - W
- BYU - W
- @ UT - L
- UCF - W
- @OSU - W
- OU - L
- @ISU - W
- TTU - W
- KSU - L
- @ Cincy - W
9-3 Regular season.
I really think an 8 or 9 win season happens. The schedule falls PERFECTLY for that to happen. I think they can play ball with OU, TTU, and KSU at home. OSU needs Bowman to be the answer at QB, and I just don't feel like he scares me all that much. Genuinely, every single game except for UT on the road feels like a game we could win this year.
My hopes are definitely too high right now, but man a good season would catapult this program to places it has never been.
do able - - - i could see it if things played out right
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in That's My Quarterback:
Jalon Daniels names Preseason Offensive Big 12 Player of the Year by the Big 12 media.
That's awesome - -This kid is unbelievable on & off the field. - -Great talent, and just a great personality off the field. How can you not like the kid. Got a great fee on llife - -bottom line this kid is JUST A WINNER no matter where he is
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Idk if we can get Bogo but man if we do this class will be incredible.
Buddy this class is on the verge of insane. these guys recruiting Bogo too and some said kind of interesting Bogo tweeted out as soon as Brinkly committed- -showed Bogo in Ku uni at this point with this staff I'll neve say never to anyone - - including Marsh.
Matt Tait stated and have to agree, Brinkley is the type of player that could open the flood gates for other players in the future too.
I don't care what we have to do we have to make sure w hang onto this staff as to where they don't want to leave. L says upgrade the Stadium - -we DO IT- - he says give raises to his assistants - -w DO IT - but dammit Leipold can't recruit -that's his weakness remember -- I call BS
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in 2024 recruits:
This guy to KU!
https://247sports.com/player/dakyus-brinkley-46129538/ ↗
One of our highest-rated recruits ever I believe. Probably done for a while unless we take Nick Marsh.
Buddy all I can say is - - -WOW I've neve in my 69 yrs remember a class such as this --- -HUGE MASSIVE pick up . - -BUT remember this is Coach L & staffs weakness - - he can't recruit lmao. Agree long time till December - -hope they stick. This Defense COULD gt really Ugly nasty good ina year or two
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Oh yeah if Dak wants to shut it down before the season I think it’ll be us. But if it goes on we’ll fill up before.
I still think Sparty for him but we’ll see in a week!
Well we can always hope, but kinda like you too , deep down. - - One thing about it, I think our WR is in good enough shape I like the ones we got but man he would be HUGE
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Massive massive addition. 2-3 more spots. DE, DT, Marsh. Wouldn’t count us out for Dak Brinkley at the other end spot
Dang Farmer you believe we have a shot for Brinkley ? - That would a very nice addition. I'm tellin you Coach & staff sure knew what they needed for sure and that was - - " HELP " & lots of it in the defensive back field - -Edge . with the commits we got assuming and hoping we can hang onto these guys our Defense will be much improved in the next year or two for sure - -as a matter of fact I would be willing to bet it's gonna be ugly good before long, that Defensive Backfield gonna be mean ugly. - - -big time hitters , GUYS THAT CAN CLOSE, FAST. , & when they hit ya -your gonna know you have been hit.
You think we have a shot a Marsh ? = =I do, now not overly confident but still I think we are right there with Penn St -I still get this feel too although being said KU/Penn St - -don't count out Michigan St.
Having said that there is an individual from TOS I'm sure you know who I'm talking about, had been pumping info on Mich Kids to us and he has been pretty dam spot on with all the Michigan kids - -he says we are in it yet its neck and neck with Penn St - but he says he wouldn't be surprised to see him piuck KU - - fingers crossed buddy - - , guess we find out Friday - - -ROCK CHALK
Hell ya , we got out boy. - - DeShawn Warner Edge rusher from Dessert Edge Arizona. --Our 3rd recruit from here, he joins his High School teammates Gibson , & Kamura- -love this group. - -now ranked 35th Nationally -14 recruits verbal - - got to hang on BUT LOVE THIS CLASS
Well here we are Saturday July 1st 2023 , it's a good day - - -It's a Great day. - We have fresh air , New Teams official in the League & I for one and I know I'm not the only one around this is happy to see it.
Our new teams have me excited , new blood , and I think they will be just fine , as will we. I've seen today these 4 Schools celebrating joining the league Midnight countdowns by Brigham Young almost like Ne Years countdown , Cincinnati's video of celebrating - - -Houston's Video , -THESE are Teams that WANT TO BE HERE , that want to be a part of this league. - -I want them, there will be some really good competition.
I don't think we lose much if any on the Basketball side , with Houston this is a great addition - better then Oklahoma and if not better then for sure the equal of Texas. - -Brigham Young quality in Basketball -UCF no slouch in football will represent -It's just fresh air - -Texas & Oklahoma wanted out then get THE HEL OUT good luck in the SEC you gonna run into a buzz saw in football you gonna take some beatins We have a solid league.
We have twelve teams that have solidarity Schools standing together. We have a Commissioner that cares, a man of Action , a commissioner that's looking out for the well being of the league.
As far as expansion - possible Pac 12 teams Colorado & Arizona - the great you want in, that's fine - if not screw you then , you two are not a necessity - -the league is solid , you the ones in discussions with us, be careful this ship is about ready to sail. - -Welcome Aboard Houston - -Cincinnati - -Brigham Young - - & UCF- yes it is refreshing day
@nuleafjhawk said in No matter what team you pull for:
My idea of a perfect game is free parking, 78⁰ at first pitch, they have $1 hot dogs and drinks and the Royals win.
Ya that would have to be really perfect
@bskeet said in No matter what team you pull for:
Good for him.
In my mind, that perfect game was attained with an *.
* vs 2023 Oakland A's
doesn't mattre if it's pee wee as bad as they are these are still Major league players, these just don't drop in your lap evey dy. you have to be spot on
Well before all the Yankee haters comin flyin at me, THIS IS NOT - -IS NOT trying to throw anything in anybody's face - -THIS is purely and sincerely acknowledging a great feat a ONCE in a life time accomplishment.- So just appreciate what he did, - - Domingo German threw a perfect game last night - - a perfect game -27 up - -& 27 down. -- -only the 4th time in NY History & 24th time in ML History
You really got to be on your game to accomplish that. Rizzo made a really good play they highlighted down the line to preserve it - but for the most part just a great pitching performance , and YEs NY stinks this year but doesn't take away from this
@Gorilla72 said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
I’m seeing today that Kyle Cuffe Jr, (Syracuse) broke a hand and is out until the end of July. Kid can’t catch a break. The article said he still has 4 years eligibility.
Good Grief this guy is hexed feel bad for him
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
@jayballer67 he just committed! I think we get Warner. Peterson is on a heater this cycle
Marsh just committed to Michigan State or Luvrusky committed to us
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
@jayballer67 very small. Only one OL spot left and I think Sparty gets Marsh
Dam your just full of good news lol - -the other night you sent and talk about almost lock for us - -BUT I'm just razzing you though bud your really good on keeping us informed. - -sucks if that's the case with Marsh.
How about this kid Carter Luvrusky Farmer ? - -have you got any scoop on him. On TOS they were talking like he may have committed , but just hadn't been announced yet - -heard anything guy ?-- One other thing I feel Warner is pretty much ours to lose right ? - -what is your feel on him ?
Well Dam so much for Goodacre - -big boy 6'4 300 pound OL- -would of been nice
Well West Virginia , did pretty good damage control with Huggy. As of a half hour ago read an article that just came out -- only three in the Portal. - Toussaint , Mohamed Wague - -& Tre Mitchell. Lot a Schools contacted Mitchell but he could very easily return to West Virginia they said - -It's going to be either Kentucky - -OR West Virginia for him.
Jesse Edwards still on the Roster, Krilisa came back , Racquan Battle stayed on Board Jose Perez still there so they did well
My Wish list now for -- -YES PLEASE AND THANK YOU ARE :
Marsh - -Warner - - Goodacre - - -&- -- - Luvrusky. - -what's the odds ?
Now this isn't just related to KU Football, just KU related in general.-- Some things I found related to our University :
Ok 1st, some interesting facts about the Success we have had in General; So did you know since March of last year we have :
1 - - -KU has a National Basketball Championship .
2 - - -KU has 2 Basketball regular Season Big 12 Titles .
3 - - -KU Basketball has a Conference Tourney Title.
4- -- KU has had 2 - different Jayhawks Win NBA Titles .
5- - -KU has had a Jayhawk win an NBA - - -MVP .
6- ---KU has had a bowl eligible foot ball team -- Not to shabby I don't think.
Then I ran across this found interesting : - The article had this chart and stated about this:
It says that KU could spend 500 Million Dollars out of their Endowment on Athletics and STILL be Allocating ONE BILLION DOLLORS MORE on Academics & Research then K/ State . (WOW )
Listed the Schools in conference, KU is ranked 3rd with 2.23 endowment - - K/State is 11 th at 0.77 - -anybody wanna guess Texas Endowment ? - -lol - - -42.67 Billion -INSANE.
@approxinfinity said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@jayballer67 i dont think i’m paying close enough attention. Wake me up when we get Raiquan Battle :)
Dammit Dude your screwing me up lol , playing with my brain - it WAS ANDY KENNEDY - -not Billy, Dam - -the UAB Coach according to Zagsblog - you got me all messed up lol
@approxinfinity said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@jayballer67 i dont think i’m paying close enough attention. Wake me up when we get Raiquan Battle :)
that would work or even Jesse Edwards to back up Hunter
@FarmerJayhawk said in Stadium Renderings:
The price of having a great, on campus setting. We could pave it all over like KSU I guess
umm no lol- -nothing like our little Sisters stadium or lot-- Hell I'll walk for however long before I'd copy their pavement project
@approxinfinity said in 2023 Transfer Portal:
@jayballer67 andy kennedy?
LOL I saw that after you mentioned it -dam I'm getting old. I meant Billy Kennedy
Seen in an article things heating up again with Billy Kennedy
@Jethro said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
a little off the subject, but the man named Dick can show out, folks:
lmao , NBA people talking about Toronto picking grady was giving A - - - Grady's suit he wore -not so much - - gave him a D lol
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
@jayballer67 he’s a DE, so that leaves one more DE and one more DT
Also some rumor Marsh popped for us 👀
Well that's good I was thinking Warner was edge - -and MERCY if Marsh did pop - - oh ya, - - I had heard rumor that it was Marsh or nobody for us - that would be sweet.
I wonder if Marsh did pop if he will keep his July 7th commit ddae, or just go ahead and announce now?
Love How The Ad kind put the squelch about capacity of the Stadium , talking about had love for the designes BUT we were going to be between 40-45 thousand, the 39 thousand would of put next to last in smallest stadiums in P-5 ? wouldn't be a good look
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Warner 🔒🔒🔒
yes , we need DL & ol still though. I think our defensive Backfield is good to go now - -need some big boys.

@jayballer67 said in 2023 Recruiting:
OK so here is the 1,000 question. Since one of how ever many of the players that left this yr Chris Johnson being one of them - - seeing as he was no good and then he asked for his LOI release,- -so why in the hell have we not released him yet from said LOI - -it's been over 2 weeks since the request.
He has got all these other schools touching base with him yet we haven't released him. - -We recruited over him , didn't want him , --So - RELEASE THE KID for God's sakes- - we now have media asking why ? - -just release him period.
that's good to hear, Finally. Illinois , Indiana and others also on that list
Word is that the new Coach for THIS year anyways will be Josh Eihert - will be interim and then WV evaluate at the end of the Season. They feel this way they may be able to retain roster better

@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Penn State got two receivers today 👀👀👀
Well that possibly could help us with Marsh if they playing same position - -might improve our chances - - -fingers crossed
@FarmerJayhawk said in Stadium Renderings:
The early renderings do look pretty cool. That area of town has a ton of potential. I hope they stick around 45k. It's probably an esoteric concern but I really don't want to be bottom of the P5 in capacity. NW and Vandy might be a tick lower (NW for sure) but still just doesn't sit right. I think with Lance we can sell out 45k. I wonder if they'll pave over the practice fields? They don't really get used now with the indoor and when they do practice outside it's in the stadium.
Amen to better use of the hill. If they play their cards right could be a heck of a happy hour type spot. Rope it off or whatever you need to at 5 PM on Fridays and let people open container around the area. If the Jayhawk Cafe can offer free beer on Fridays surely the new stadium district can figure out how to make it all work.
- -If you think 40, 000 is the final numbers your nuts- -I'd like anywhere from at least 42-45
@kuballin10 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
@BShark Parker is not better than Udeh. He can’t alter shots and make plays Udeh can because of Udeh’s size and athleticism.
I bet this year Udeh produces more than Braun
I think Udeh is going to be a really good player when it's all said and done
You know what I think is crazy ? - I think what's really crazy is if these kids are so bad non talented not on KU level is then the KU Coaching Staff must be some real looney tunes , because they are the one's who recruited these kids to KU in the 1st place. - -Now what the hell is wrong with that picture. Maybe we ought to have some people go switch places with the Staff - we wouldn't lose a game
Coach Self in an interview with Mat Tait said, that Zach never left, He said he was at home in San Antonio ? -Zach got back on Campus last night , had been practicing Coach said Zach never stepped foot on USCB Campus
@Jethro said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
@JAYHAWKFAN214 said in ZACH CLEMENCE COMING BACK?:
@Jethro Nothing is official
Now they're saying he would have to red shirt unless he can get a waiver. He must've received some benefits at UCSB.
Ya just read from TOS Zach IS back in Lawrence and enrolled in classes , says Coach Self. -Zach DID NOT enroll in USCB so is not a two time transfer which means that that plan is for him to Red Shirt.
Warner coming in next weekend , coming in with Gibson -would be nice addition
@FarmerJayhawk said in 2024 recruits:
Very good weekend so far! That might be it for commits but we will see
Kinda thinking so myself guy, Would be nice if we could of got Marsh BUT I think he sit a date for the middle of next month. -Thinking he still has to visit Michigan St, hope e made a strong impression
" YES SIR " We got him . Got another one, big time Damani Maxson 6' Safety - 2nd highest recruit Coach L has gotten these guy is no joke - he will knock your head off , violent , let you know you been hit, really quick closing time, big time offers : Okla , Okla St , Ark , Georg , LSU , Mia , Mich St , Miss , Tenn, & USC - -those are legit offers. - -Love what this staff is doing
Nick Marsh do you see what's happening here - -your turn big boy - -ROCK CHALK
Dam Farmer , did we get a commit from Damani Maxson ? - reading from TOS sure sounds like we did - -Holy bat crap if True, our Secondary gonna be killer. - Plus another 4 * player in this class - -just WOW. - -what have you heard ?
What a recruiting effort by the Staff
@FarmerJayhawk said in Huggins Retires:
Sad end for a great.
Well kind of Technical the wording was he told his players that he was stepping down/resigning , which for Huggy I'm glad it's way instead of flat out being fired, However you have to wonder behind close doors it was more like- - -you have two options , you can either step down now OR we force you out/fire you -- not a good look. - I feel sorry for I think was a Good guy, I liked Huggy, obviously had some issues but who doesn't- -Just Sad.
@approxinfinity said in Huggins Retires:
@stoptheflop with you. Huggins did a lot of good things and was good to a lot of people. Much rather see a lowkey Huggins farewell tour with a salty top transfer class than a Coach K bonanza with a crappy lot of underachieving diaper dandies.
I agree , Huggy DID do good things, I myself liked Huggs, vey dry sense of Humor, but also was a person not afraid of coming straight to the point on an issue. - Now what was said on the radio racial - NO , not a good look at all, doesn't mean can't still like the guy he did a lot of good things, feel like he was along with Bill one of the Ambassadors in the Big 12, one of the longer tenured - for me I won't lie I'm gonna miss Huggy in the games and him sitting on his Chair.
@Texas-Hawk-10 said in And then we have these discussions:
SDSU does nothing for the Big 12 and why would UConn want to move to the Big 12 after they fought to leave the AAC to go to the Big East.
If Yormark really wants to get to 16, another Florida school to pair with UCF would make sense. Why not make a run at Florida State because they're one of the driving forces behind the ACC's new pay structure and have poked around the ACC's GoR to try and leave before.
Serious discussions between the Big 12 and U Conn - -more so then Gonzaga. AGAIN YorMark saying that he would like to have total different media deal in /basketball solidifying the Big 12 as the best Basketball conference.--- U Conn if w going the Basketball route would 10000 % bring prestige to the big 12. The Women by themselves is HUGE plus the success the men have had would do nothing but add to the dominance of the mens side
Ya, after reading WV boards sounds for sure he is done. - Kind of sad in a way, good career and to see it end like this. Think he has had some drinking issues in the past.
Guess the question would be - -would you let him step down /retire ? - -OR just force him out ? Fire him = - - Option 1 --OR 2 ?
@dylans said in And then we have these discussions:
Is Yormark considering SDSU? Would be on par with Cincinnati and the rando Florida school that were just added. Personally I’d stay away from any California schools due to their state policies having national ramifications and I wouldn’t want to invite that vampire in - easy to get a vampire in the door, much harder to get it out.
There had been talk, that they had talked to the Big 12. or visa versa, but I think San Diego States preference is the PAC 12. - the whole point on this latest development is that , the general belief is now that # 1 you don't put in a withdrawal letter from one Conference unless you have been accepted into another Conference. Your not going to do something that stupid with no place to go.
Which leads us to the assumption that the domino's have now started to fall with this San Diego State move. This is either one of two things - - Either San Diego State has been accepted by the PAC 12 and they ar e replacing someone else already from that league - - someone who is leaving or wants out - - -that being most publicly Colorado & then more likely then not your going to see Arizona follow , OR San Diego State is coming to the Big 12. which there has been talks about.
We should know something for sure by the end of the Mont because if San Diego St isn't out by the 1st of July their exit fees double . A lot also depends on a PAC 12 media right which they STILL do not have and they or insiders some AD'S are saying won't come close to matching the Big 12 media deal - The PAC 12 is history. Word is that Oregon & Washinton have been accepted to the BIG but the BIG doesn't want to be the one's responsible for the collapse of the PAC -so they wait - one thing for sure -- -EXPANSION IS COMING
@FarmerJayhawk said in And then we have these discussions:
I don't think there's much to the SDSU deal yet. It was basically a "hey we're breaking up if this other girl becomes single" letter lol
they are screwd MW saying you want out - -were not giving you extension, you turned the letter in, we NOT giving you extension, if you go past the 1st of July , your exit fees double. - San Diego St replacing someone and that someone is Colorado. - This Expansion is real, it is going to happen , you can bank on it. Yormark way to Active perusing these Schools, he has been very vocal in this talking about it -- it's just a matter of time - -San Diego State jumped the gun. - - The Pac 12 media deal ( which they have none yet ) - is coming close to BIG 12--these teams gonna bail - Colorado - -Arizona and whoever else. - it's coming
And now looks like the domino's have started to fall. San Diego St has entered what they call - -but yet not call a letter saying as much they are withdrawing from the Mountain West. Like discussion said, you don't do that unless you've been accepted into another conference.- Sooo if they are joining the Pac 12 - -then who is leaving the Pac 12 --long been thought San Diego St replacing Colorado who has been long rumored to be coming back to the Big 12 - -then later you wil see Arizona -you can count on it.
San Diego St entered that letter to the Mountain West but yet asked for a one month extension. The Mountain West said ummmm NO you submitted your withdrawal you wait longer , you pay more.
