@jayballer73 And KU still hasn't made one in a decade. Miles could've gotten last year's team to a bowl game, but I don't see it this year. KU is likely going 2-1 in nonconference losing at BC. That means they need 4 Big 12 wins and I don't that this year unless the O a d DLine's are much improved from the spring game which I doubt happens.
ya I'm not really looking for any bowl this year - -I had said MAYBE we could get 4 - - maybe possibly 5 - 4-5 would be some nice improvement. - -$-5 wins would be called progress - if Les can make some strides which I fully believe he will - -then we will start seeing even better recruiting classes. - -We didn't get in this pathetic spot all of a sudden - and we won't get back to where we wanna be all of a sudden - thanks to these former staffs - -we were rock bottom and was trying to go deeper then rock bottom. - Yet I think 3-4 years we might just be much better and fun to watch for sure - I think we will be competitive this year but I mean 3-4 years improving some each year - - then by that time we will be a very solid club AND going to bowl games. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Texas Hawk 10 said:
@Marco DeSousa is going to play because an appeals committee decided a 2 year suspension was excessive and reduced it to a 1 year suspension. As @HighEliteMajor has pointed out multiple times on this issue, DeSousa will be a junior this season and not a redshirt sophomore. That means the appeals committee did not rescind DeSousa's suspension, they determined a violation happened in which a 1 year suspension was the appropriate punishment.
That's why vacating the games DeSousa played in as a freshman and possibly vacating the 2018 Final Four banner is a possibility. KU played a player who was suspended for 1 seasons for something that happened prior to DeSousa arriving at KU.
If you think the NCAA has any issues punishing a school for playing a player the NCAA cleared initially, then I'll direct you to Derrick Rose and Memphis. Rose was originally cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse and retroactively ruled ineligible once the organization that administers the SAT ruled his test invalid later on.
Isn't this what they were talking about when the committee was trying to get KU to admit that there WAS a Violation before they would rule on Silvio - and then the reduction AFTER KU came out and admitted the violation? - - seems like I thought I had saw something about they were waitin for KU - - I dunno - thought that played a part with Silvio - -maybe not. - - -ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

@Texas-Hawk-10 I'm sorry, who are we talking about, and when did he play at KU? And why do you like the word d*** so much?
GRIMES - -don't make me tell you again
Texas Hawk 10 said:
@HighEliteMajor I'm sorry, but fart noises and pretending a kid doesn't exist because Grimes is close to announcing his transfer destination isn't offering any kind of opinion. It's being a dick for the sake of being a dick and I'm not apologizing for expressing that viewpoint.
I already said I have no issues with criticizing his on court play because there was plenty to criticize. This situation is no different than the Malik Newman situation. Newman was a top 10 recruit, was played out of position and underachieved, declared for the draft after his freshman season, didn't get the feedback he wanted, came back to college and transferred elsewhere that he would be a better fit.
Only difference is that KU is on the front end of the situation with Grimes.
Other than not play up to his top 10 ranking, what has Grimes done to deserve people that don't know him personally talk shit about him?

We'll remember this moment when you're talking c*** on someone, which you, of course, have never done.
I just suggest we not come out and suggest someone is being a "d***" -- a term he seems to like to say since he's now said it like three times in this thread -- solely for expressing an opinion that many share (and as @dylans did, with some humor).
Grimes was waste of a scholarship. Waste of time. The entitled prima donna. Glad he's gone.

Its very solid class for sure, but as @Texas-Hawk-10 said we’ve been here before. But I think we have a better shot at keeping these guys with Miles at the helm. The first key would be not losing to an FCS team outta the gate. If Miles can get 4 or 5 wins this season (no more than 3 wins in a single season since 2009). I could see recruits buying into him, rather than the used car sales approach of Beaty that never was more than words in 4 years. Actions speak louder than words my friends.
couldn't agree more , if we could manage to win say 5 - I think recruiting would soar - With Les - -this staff obviously working hard , sure were gonna have flips - - EVERY schools has some flips - just the nature of the game, just because a kid verbals isn't gonna keep these other schools from hounding the hell out of them a lot of times almost daily.

Texas Hawk 10 said:
@jayballer73 I didn't say it was a bad class, but class rankings are deceptive because the total number of recruits plays a big factor. Miles has said this class will be smallish because they don't have the available spots due to blue shirts and other circumstances. The class rankings is high now, but it will drop because Miles is approaching the number of recruits he can sign. Don't get hung up of KU being in the 30's because this class likely ends up in 50's when all is said and done in February.
That doesn't mean it's a bad class because this class likely ends up with an average of 2.8-2.9 stars per player which isn't bad for KU and the more important number in football recruiting to determine the quality of the class.
Just don't get hung up on being in the 30's because it won't last. Don't forget that two years ago, around this same time of year, David Beauty had KU in the top 5 in recruiting classes.
No , No buddy I wasn't trying to argue , I understand I really do I know it will drop - -but the higher we can get now even when w drop - -we going to end up with decent rank - -I'm just tickled to death that we are getting quality recruits PERIOD ya know? - we are looking at 21-23 commits this year is everything I have been hearing. - -I'm right there with ya bud - -well Actually I think I might be leading the charge lol
Question when is there been this much enthusiasm /interest at this time of year in our football program? - -We got to get through this year -but you can see the Calvary coming to the rescue - -Love Coach Miles already him and his staff getting after it.
The thing with Coach Beaty though was with his top 5 - he had a lot of flips latter which caused us to drop - -we just have to actually hang on to these guys - -keeping fingers crossed - -just because they verbal- -as you know not gonna keep these other schools from hounding them - -already seen it once with Miller - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
Texas Hawk 10 said:
Recruiting rankings are not going to be a good way to judge this class because Miles is approaching the number of commits he can take this season already. Total number of recruits plays a big factor in the rankings so with a small class, expect that ranking to start dropping once the commits slow way down because Miles is close to the number he can take for 2020.
they are weight to the individual player ranking point system - -we get a couple of the 4 star players like Johnson and other we gonna be just fine - -were gonna be just fine anyways. Have just totally blown aways our previous staffs efforts - -like stated earlier - fastest start in recruiting since 1998. - - Hell previous years it would take us 4 years worth o recruiting just to equal this ONE year of recruiting Coach Miles and staff has gotten. - -Bryant was huge get - - -we land the kid from Dallas & get Johnson - -I'll be have as a peach tree in an Apple orchard. - - -ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY
