@jayballer73 Yeah. They are probably gonna play together in Lawrence, lol.
Also Chandler is a combo forward like KJ. He can definitely play some three. I don't think the staff view him at the same position as Hurt and JRE. I could be wrong though.
I think Chandler is a good long term player and his family knows he isn't going to be OAD. He could come to KU and develop over 3-4 years. With his length he could really be disruptive on defense and he would improve his offense over time I'm sure.
So straight up for Chandler your gut - - - KU - - -OR - - - Memphis?
If Chandler comes here and the ideal scenario our recruits then for next year: - - Lawson - - - Hurt - - -JRE - - - Williamson - - & McBride ?

"[Chandler Lawson] was talking about how he loves Kansas, also, but he’s a highly recruited player, so his options are very, very out there," McBride continued to 247Sports. "He has a lot of teams that he can play for, but he talked to me and we compared and we talked about Kansas a lot. We talked about how the Lawson brothers love Kansas and how they’re developing, not only strength-wise, but spiritually and on the court, most definitely. So we talked about it, and we’re going to continue to see, and I’ll see where he goes and hopefully we’ll be able to make the decision at the same time or close to each other.”
OK, so McBride is a 19 guy right? - - So this is Chandler saying these things right? -So then is Chandler possibly hoping to play together with McBride? With him talking and saying hopefully we'll be able to make the decision at the same time or close to each other? If that is Chandler saying this sounds like he might want to play with McBride - - yes?

I believe Rodgers to be the best QB in football currently, he is ahead of Brady in several areas and he hasn't had a good team around him the last several years. I look for Brady and Co to take a step back this season with some of the guys they lost.
I agree with you. Although I don't really feel our offense was the problem - -it was our defense - -Aaron always always having to try and out score people. - Our defense has to step up. - -We still have a very talented group of receivers. - Our running game took a hit when they let Eddie Lacy go. Thing was Eddie had trouble maintain weight wonder about his off field work ethic - on field he was an animal.

Auburn and TCU both want McBride too. Arkansas offered recently, despite not having a scholarship available (lol). As of anything reported at this time he might not even let Arkansas back in at this point. I think he ends up top 100 in the final rankings, for those that think about such things. I was hoping KU would push for Sam Williamson when he was unranked.
Per a 247 article Chandler Lawson has been talking to McBride about recruiting in general and how great KU is. :eyes:
Okay buddy if it's true Chandler is talking about how great KU is , then here is my question. Do you think that Chandler still is very interested in coming to KU? - -If so - - are we still interested in Chandler with the very likely possibility we get Hurt and JRE to come in? - Is there as much interest from one party as there is from the other? - -I would think with our possibility of landing Hurt and even JRE our interest in Chandler might have cooled could be wrong - -that has happened before believe it or not lol.- -My thinking would be the only reason - -and this is again with the very good possibility of us landing Hurt and or JRE - I se the main reason to keep stroking Chandler or even signing Chandler would be because of his younger brother. Every thing I had read that the younger Lawson was the best in the group of brothers - -can't remember his name. Also with Penny at Memphis now wondering how strong KU is even a factor with Chandler now? - -Yet with him making a statement like that - -sounds like he may still be very interested in KU.

Mercy. my boy Aaron Rodgers for Green Bay just hit the mother load. - I can't even begin to comprehend these numbers cause that's all they are to me is numbers - -never - - never - -ever have begin to come close to the very - -very - -very bottom of these figures - just number that's all they are:
Aaron just agreed to a 4 year extension he will be 40 yrs old when it expires in 2023 - -so that Me & other Packer fans have him through 2023 and probably that will be the end for him - -Retire a Packer - -works for me. His contract extension he signed worth 134 million BUT could be worth up to a total of 180 million.
Nearly 103 million total is guaranties , AND a Annual average value of 33.5 million - - - -WOW 33.5 million A YEAR.
Total maximum is between 176-180 million . Based on 4 million of incentives - which for him doesn't look like it will be extra hard to accomplish which is - - -Helping Green Bay make the playoffs -( I would say chances pretty good ) AND finishing in the top 3 in QB rating ( he has done that before )

From a free Bossi article on Sam Williamson.
Kansas: “First off, it’s my dream school. Second off, they’ve been recruiting me since this time last year and they really picked it up this summer and then they have a lot of opportunity for me on the wing. Quentin Grimes is probably leaving, LeGerald Vick will be gone after this year, Dedric Lawson will be leaving, so that’s three spots on the wing and then the Sam Cunliffe transfer, so really four spots on the wing so I think I can come in and play early there.
Hmmmm, now though I don't have a PHD - - or any STD'S - - - or other then a lot of D'S - -that I got in throughout School middle School and High School , I may not be the brightest light in the house BUT if I was to take a swing at those comments , these comments to me sure sounds pretty much like a kid that has already made his decision. - MIGHT be wrong - - -COULD be wrong , but for a kid to say that KU is his dream School and follow it up with these other comments? - -Sounds like a kid that has bought the program - I"ma thinkin recruit # 1 pretty much sowed up - -we shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
@jaybate-1.0 Seems like though we have just recently had a couple of short point guards Well Devonte not that short but seems like Frank and Devonte shot the ball pretty well, just because your short doesn't mean you can't play the game. - Look at Tiny Nate Archibald - - - The Small fry from Kentucky a couple of yrs back , Frank - our POY - were gonna be all right
@Texas-Hawk-10 I get that same feel. Time will tell the O- line is going to be so critical but as you say they are bigger and older , we shall see it's fine to be big but you have to have the development to go along with it - I just have a weird feeling we might be a little better then people think
@jaybate-1.0 - -- Sorry to disappoint you but I don't think your going to be seeing Quentin at the point , I strongly feel they recruited these TWO players for very specific positions. I think they recruited Devon and fully committed to him as being THE pg on this roster and he is good enough to do that, I also think they recruited. Quentin fully as a 2 wing player - Not saying he won't play any other position BUT I think if anything you have more of a chance of seeing Quentin playing some 3 more then the pg.
We have two very solid pg's to man that spot - ya you might and again I say might see Quentin possibly play a LITTLE pg but to suggest that Coach is going to move him over and have him starting at the pg? - - - Not happening. - For one If they were going to do that I don't think they would of invested so much time in recruiting Devon again and with Moore who has had a year of playing as the pg at a major college has that College experience - just don't see it - -not at all , not in the scenario your trying to paint anyways - -Quentin if I were to wager I would say he will be playing the 2 spot 90 % of the time with probably at least the other 5-10 % at the 3 - -it just doesn't make that much sense to try and have him come in and take over as a pg when you have two very competent other pg's already there, that's not making us of the entire squads contributions/talent and Devon is a talented player and will be just fine as the pg - leave Quentin at the 2 there is a bigger need for him there then our pg spot - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

jaybate 1.0 said:
Seems Self faces a tough choice. Grimes might be best at 2 or 3, taking over the ball for stretches, the way MJ used to.
But Self needs a point guard to let QG play that way.
Maybe Self WILL get away with Charlie and Dot at point with Grimes or Vick at wings switching off onto tall PGs.
OR Self can make Grimes a tall point guard, use Vick/Garrett at 2, big Ded at 3, and rotate all his remaining 5 bigs at 4 and 5.
If Grimes can do what you saw, then I say give him the keys and let him drive and kick. Oscar Robertson and Derek Rose seem like Grimes best precedents. Both demolished the NCAA.
I like Rose for a precedent. Rose had CDR AND an bunch of bigs. Ded = CDR. Figure KU’s bigs will be better than Memphistos. Figure KU won’t miss FTs down the stretch or run into a better coach.
Hang banner.
I don't think we will see Grimes at the point this year , true he can play it - believe he did play it some in High School - just not seeing it at KU. - - I don't think you might have to worry as much with our point as you might think. = =Devon is a very capable pg and other then being a Freshmen which again he is going to struggle at times such as like possible with that dam West Virginia press and possible some other stretches.
As most here know I for sure love Devon I just like his mentality kid is super quick and loves driving the ball tough kid reminds me some of a young Frank myself same bull doggish approach - I'll take him any day. - - Now Charlie more likely then not will probably start the season as the starter and that's ok that's a luxury for us 2 pretty decent pg's however I don't think it will be long before Devon takes that spot. he is just to good not to you remember the saying it's not who starts a game but it's who is on the floor at the end? - -umm ya - - Devon.
Gonna be a lot of Dedric & Quentin for us and then throw Doke on top of that. - We are just so deep we can throw so many different combinations at a team. - Our depth is gonna be a huge factor this year. Going to allow the guys out front to be more aggressive cause they know they got help in back if they get beat Got the Bruisers allow the guards to take more risks at stealing the ball over playing the passing lanes and such. Then on our front line they don't have to worry as much about foul trouble be more aggressive on the boards and such - -Someone get in trouble just throw another one in. - - McCormack - -- DeSousa - -- Mitch - - - Hell even KJ can slide down for a bit -we can go big - -we can go small - -we can combo MERCY - -look out. - Again I'm not real big in comparisions I just let them be who they are. - Some get a bad rap cause people try and tag them with a comparision and they might not meet some one's expectations then all we hear is how they were such a bust. - I'm telling you though we are going to enjoy Quentin for his one year here and yes it will be one year just sit back and enjoy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No, mind wide open. I really do want to know who board rats are thinking Grimes will compare with among freshmen on ring teams of the past. I haven’t seen him yet. No doubt he is good if Bill thinks he is ready to play immediately. But at what role and level of contribution do folks see him at? That’s what I am trying to learn from you and others. Will he start and be a hub, like Rush. Will he be second fiddle like Wiggins became with Embiid? Will he just dominate and run the show like Magic? I still don’t have a feel for what folks are expecting from him.
Grimes is a absolute Stud. - He is a player that is going to come in and be a starter from day one , he is as for sure the most certain one and done there is There has even been some talk that as the season plays out and this is Not from KU people but others that say by seasons end Quentin Grimes might just be the best player in the Nation Quentin is going to play very much a MAJOR role for KU this year -- Coach knows he is ready to go> - Let me ask you who else would play the 2 which that is the position he will be starting that would have the impact Quentin is going to have? - -Not Vick - Vick will be spending the majority of his time at the 3 - -KJ ? - - KJ is good - -plays some 2 I hear but as big as impact as Quentin will have? - - No Way. Quentin I feel is more talented then KJ - again KJ is good but not Quentin good.
Marcus? - -I love Marcus but at this point offensively Marcus isn't nearly as talented as Quentin - Marcus kind of limited unless he has vastly improved in the off season. - -I love Marcus defensively think he is really good - - on that side of the ball they may be more equal , but offensively not a chance - -Our boy from KC - -I don't think he is a 2 is he? - -might be -but again I don't think he is at Quentin's level. - - Put it like this also - -who else do we have for that position that was ever considered a strong OAD canidate ?

He is 5'10'' and doesn't have the PG skills and explosive athleticism to make up for it at the KU level. His height is definitely an issue.
At least KU let him know now, so he can have a good fair shake at a 2nd recruitment. He has offers from FSU, Nebraska and VT since the announcement.
If you read around his twitter and some of the guys around Mac Irvin Fire, there is definitely some bad blood about this. The reasons you laid out are good reasons for him to decommit but I think if it were entirely up to Jacobs he would still be committed. Even recently he knew the situation and that he would likely sit his first year at a minimum. Now we see KU pushing hard for an unranked PG out of Arkansas before this was "announced" I really think this was a KU/Self decision. Just my opinion on that.
Ya that very well could be true. - -Coach might of said just think it would be best to look elsewhere for his goals. -- - - I read your post yesterday all about the bad blood thing with the Mac Irvin Fire thing - -the stud pg they have - -well we shall see how that might play out down the road I think might bite us in the rear but that's how things goes sometimes. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The Ladies showed some character last night for sure didn't they? - - That 1st set they jumped out 8-2 lead and then things went South pretty quick, - -Finding themselves down 0-2 in the match didn't look good at all , they are young they gonna struggle I'm sure at different times but I think we are gonna be just fine. Zoe had a really good match and Ya sure sounded like some really questionable calls late sure was a lot of challenges - that to me tells me that the line judge what ever they are called weren't really tuned in. - -almost like every other play pretty proud of the way they fought back. seemed like every other point was being challenged Don't forget we play the same Arkansas team at 1 Sunday -- it shows they are showing on ESPN plus - - let's do it again. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Well guys we have to give props to out Ladies. -- Our Soccer team improves to 3-0 beats Oregon State 3-0 sweet game. - -Oregon State gets 2 shots on goal the entire game - - 2 - - Our Ladies had 13 shots on goal. True Oregon State falls to 0-3 but still pretty nice way to stat the Season. - Next up Oregon.
Then got to give Major -- Major props to our Volleyball team. - -Jusyt have to say we are really young sounds like - -didn't reconize hardly any of the names. - Gonna be an interesting year , we could easily struggle - -just young. I'll yell you what though what a tough group. Tonight on the road 1s game of the year - -we come out and BAM fall behind 0-2 in set's - - 21-25 - - -23-25 - -Then we promptly come back when the next two - - 25-20- - and 27-25. - - Then had a really good tie breaker and won that 15-8. - This should build some confidence - -character for these ladies wow what a match. Sweet way to start the season, not holding any great expectations just good to see them battle and they did BATTLE - -didn't give up being down 0-2. Zoe Hill had a monster game. - So proud way to go to both our ladies teams - -keep it up and as always - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
