Saw this. Wondering if we are more in it than some think.

I'd rather have Holyfield (which might be cray) but I'd take either in a second.

boy if we could get Precious or Holyfield to go along with Doke and McCormack - we be good in our front line. - - -Oh and possibly get Silvio eligible this Season - man frontline would be plenty Salty.

I think we are going to see better McCormick this year - -you could see the light starting to flicker in the latter part of the season - things starting to come around - I think he will be a huge 3-4 year player for us

Kcmatt7 said:

Alright, Silvio's turn.

I think that he might just get that Appeal - -like you know time served and eligible this coming season - -I know dream - -but hey it's MY DREAM -- let me dream it lmao

1ST good news we have gotten this off season. - -Now with hope that Dotson comes back - -slowly salvage this dam thing yet. - -If we can get Hampton to re-classify and commit here we be all right

Well I guess actually Holyfield is on the KU campus today. Has already visited Miami - -and then visited Tech this past weekend. - Still has visits to Oregon & IllInois - maybe we can pull him in. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Sorry Jerry, the Yankees as currently constructed aren’t very hatable. Maybe an underachieving team, but injuries make that hard to tell. I was hoping that Judge would shake his injury proneness and round out his game this year. He’s fun to watch hit homers, but needs to raise his obp.

Him and Stanton just hit some Mammoth shots - -crazy distance - -get these guys back think they will be ok - -Pitching concerns me more. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well maybe we will hear something before long as possible transfer coming to join JayHawk Nation.

Tristan Enaruna - -is suppose to make his visit on the 28th of April and then - - -TJ Holyfield is suppose to be making a visit really soon.

Holyfield 6'8 - - - has Illinois - - - Miami - - - Oregon - - Texas Tech - and Ku as his 5 Schools. - He Visited Texas Tech this past weekend on Saturday and stated he was following his visit right up with them - -to visit KU.

Pretty decent shooter , shot 54.8 % - -from the field - - - 41% - -from the 3 pt - - and a 74.8 Free Throw shooter. - - so maybe a possibility between these two - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well decided to post my thread because umm - -well because I can , I know how much you hate the Yankees BUT it's ok Everyone has to hate something I guess - -and trippin no matter how much you hate - the Sun still coming up for me tomorrow lol. So now to my post:

Thought the pin stripes was struggling and thinking about an average season BUT then thinking about the situation they're in - -their doing fine.

Major League leading players on the IL they're holding their own only 2 games back our players that we can put on the field still competitive - all my boys hurt:

Judge - - - - Strained Obligue - - - -Stanton - - - -Strained Left Bicep - - - -Hicks - - -Strained Left Lower Back - - -Sanchez - - -Strained Left Calf - - - Gregorius - - -Tommy John - - - Andujar - - - Torn Labrum in Right Shoulder - - - Bird - - Torn Plantar fascia in Left Foot - - - - Severino - - - Strained Latissimus - - -Betances - - - Right Shoulder - - -Montgomery - - Tommy John - - - -Heller - - -Tommy John

We get Stanton -- Judge - - Hicks - - -Bird - - Severino back we gonna be ok - - long season. - Although Baseball is becoming less important to me in my latter years - - always will love and follow my pinstripes. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FarmerJayhawk said:

Still not a peep. I’ll be nervous until the NBA releases the list.

when will that come out

Well Jeff Long looks like tweeted Check your local listings - - always wanted to say that - - end of May.

I couldn't figure out what the hell he meant by that - totally threw me off. - -Somebody said - -the end of May is the last day a player can withdraw his name from the draft - -would be kind of hinting that Doke is declaring - Hope that's not right. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

FarmerJayhawk said:

Self saying he still hasn’t heard anything. Wonder if Doke is just going to let 10:59 come and go...

I dunno , But my merry go round is spinning back around to me starting to get this sick feeling again.

1st I felt there was no way he was coming back for his Senior year.. - - Then the longer it has gotten with nothing I started feeling more and more every day that there was a good possibility he was coming back - - NOW at the last few hours - just feel he is going to drop a bomb shell and say he was declaring - -and talk about how it was a really tough decision and yada - -yada- -yada - -and I will go in deep deep depression with the way our recruiting has gone and then losing him on top of that. - I hop I am SOOOOO WRONG. - - -less then 3 hours till deadline - like someone said we probably for sure won't hear anything till tommorrow - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Matt Tait posted in the Phog 25 minutes ago - -Doke as of Saturday Night - Has NO WORD yet - Like Matt said - - tick - - tick - - tick. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Sounds like were in on Another QB - -this one from California - - Doug Brumfield - -6'5 -& 213 lbs - - Left Handed QB , 3 star. - Doesn't sound like he runs a lot - -207 yards rushing - - 3112 yards Passing this past season - -20 TD'S

Has 6 offers at this point Utah - - Rutgers - - Nevada - - UNLV- - - William & Mary - & KU.

Has visited Arizona State - - UNLV - - - - & KU - - - Colorado & Oregon State also showing Interest.

He was talking in a interview about how his visit to KU was different then the others. - Said a Great Visit - how the Coach's saying he needed to make the choice where he fit best , most comfortable - - talk about the facilities - - weight room and such - -talked about being a great experience happy to have - - - -great football atmosphere - - ummm ? ? ? ? ? - -great football atmosphere? - -maybe possibly talking about how it can be in the future. - Sounds like though would be a nice pick up. -Announcing School on May 18th - - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well - -starting to look more and more like Precious will be headed to Memphis. - -Memphis starting to get more and more CB'S - like the last 5 have went to Memphis - -un-believable. - -

Maybe we need to renew our interests with Zach Harvey lol. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

" DECISION DEADLINE " - -Doke stays ? - - - Doke Declares ? - - T-Minus 15 hours and 43 minutes. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well just read a post off Instagram from Doke. - - Said still praying to GOD to lead me to the right decision - - -Still undecided.

Come on Big fella sure could use you. - -get that degree - -come back finish this out -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

just seems also it would of been the best time to announce possibly if he was declaring would of been at the banquet - - I dunno - -give up trying to figure out what goes through these kids minds lol. -- very easily persuaded at this age. - I mean look at it isn't Doke still one of the youngest ones on the roster or he was. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hawk8086 said:

@jayballer73 He is not coming back. Self as good as said so.

Baaaa to much showing that quite possibly he is staying All self said was that he would give his input and Doke will decide - -we shall see - - -We shall see. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Got to say , we like many others have heard all the rumors about the possibility of Coach leaving and going quite possibly to the NBA. We also know about how these kind of rumors are like jet fuel for opposing Coach's in recruiting and paly them against us.

Well Jeff Long doubled up on what Coach said art the banquet saying again what Coach had said - that he wasn't going anywhere - - - -ANYWHERE ! - -Long followed that up by saying at the banquet saying that they were very happy what Coach had done since he had been here, and that in the future he wanted to have Coach leading for the next several years.

So I mean sounds like Coach wants to be here - - - Long saying he wants him here. So the best way to put an end to these fricing rumors - - squelch them is simple - - Sign Coach Self to a nice extension put an end to the bull shit and then these idiots have to fins something to talk smack about with Coach or what ever - -I know there had been some talk - about just that so - -stop talking and just agree to the extension - - these rumors and end this these rumors about Coach leaving and this NCAA/FBI thing has just kicked our recruiting this year right square in the Chones - -put this to bed now ROCK CHALK ALLD AY LONG BABY

I just hear Silvio's interview about his decision to declare for the draft. - -I gotta say man - I feel really bad for the kid. - -I mean sure just seems like Silvio just got caught in the middle of this crap.

You could hear his passion for the game, talking about his mom had always raised hi to be a good kid - -this is a guy that just wants to play. - He was asked what was the hardest thing for him when he found out the ruling? - -He said the thing that hurt the most was - - -being able to show what type of player he was. -

He talk about that day being the hardest for him - - -talking to his girlfriend and asking her if she had heard - - she said yes, and something about her asking him if he just wanted to forget it for the day do something to get away take his mind of - -he said no

He talked about saying he just wanted to go work out - -went and worked out and shot ball for like 6 hours and working out - -ya know - -probably taking out his aggression. - His attorney said he text Silvio that night and he was still working out at like 10:30 that night. -- This kid IS THE POOCH getting screwed in this whole Scenario

This whole scenario with him is Bullshit - -ya I know money was given - -was it given to Silvio? - - - umm NO maybe his so called guardian - and I do believe that Silvio had nothing to do with this his guardian - -more likely then not - -but Silvio is the one having to suffer the consequence, - Plus I really do believe him when he says if he gets cleared /penalty reduced he will be back very easily could be settled in the next week - hoping for the ebst. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I vote Doke is back. @jayballer73

That's good to hear. - -I don't know I was 100 %sure he was gone for a long time. - -Now I've done a complete 360 - just looking like more and more - - -feeling more and more like Doke will be back , I mean things just don't make sense if he is leaving. - -WHY wouldn't he of announced by now? - - - He seemed to be the most likely TO LEAVE after the season , I mean he has already tested the NBA Combine - -so really no need for him to test Again - -he knows what they told him what he needed to work on - -you would just think he would of come out and announced right away. - -I'm with you buddy. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

OK straight up guys no BS - -who think Doke is coming back? - plain and simple. - Yes he does - -OR no he doesn't.

The way things are playing out on him - -I mean you would of thought if he was declaring - he would of announced at the Banquet right? - here it is Friday night and still nothing. - -Sunday Night is the deadline for declaring - - - Plus doesn't look like he would be ready to go for the Combine IF he was invited- -he already knows what he needed to work on -- didn't get a chance to do that this past season due to injury.

So I'm going to come out and say - -Doke is coming back. - -- -Soooooooooo - - bring it - -let me hear from ya -- Yes -- OR - - - No -- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73 - just read on Yahoo Sports where wiretaps won’t be heard and Miller and the LSU coach won’t testify. Not relevant to this particular case. So... those schools get off free without penalty to players? SMH...

ya I saw that earlier - -yet however we are different cases - -if they aren't hearing the wire taps in this - -there has been talk about wiretap from our staff right? - -so fi that was the case you wouldn't think that kind of thing would be allowed either right? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Silvio asking for feedback should be quick.

Report should start and end with, you didn't play. Come back when you actually played

Tait was trying to break this appeal down - - - if he falls under one part of appeal says usually takes a bout 7 days read somewhere else should be pretty quick decision

Welp see where Kentucky offered Johnny Juzang today after a in home visit - - -YIPPEE - we were 50/50.

The boys on the phog are smoking Self's and staffs ass - -crying the end of the world is here. - -Sorry I don't jump ship- - guess that's the difference between a FAN - -and a Bandwagon fan. -Huge difference between a true fan and someone who is a fan ONLY when nothing but roses. - Comments such as Self and staff are sitting on their ass's while other teams out recruiting - -Ya that's exactly right Bill and the boys are at Coach's office watching porn and drinkin beer while others are recruiting - -ya that's exactly what's going on.

People talking about how the FBI thing hasn't hurt Louisville and Arizona - they doing just fine? - -Guess what Phase 2 of this trial starts Monday - -Arizona , Louisville , Creighton , Oklahoma State , USC , are in the fore front in this phase - -Watch how these recruits jump ship from Arizona - when things get hot - come talk to me later -dam people like this just P - - - - OFF - -fricken bunch of Billy wanna be fans.

KU showed interest in the kid last year but Julian went a different way. Two way street. KU didn't even make his list he put out months ago

Oh my bad - - hadn't seen that - -slipped by me - -well- - - - - - -. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

No worries. If I remember correctly he once said KU was his dream school? Is that the belief you had on him???

Seems like his dream school talk died awful quick.

Ya pretty much - -you know just beginning NOT to trust anything that comes from the mouth of babes - - or trust these so called experts - -or and fricken Crystal Balls anymore other trust any of these he said - -she said - -they said - -or a friend of mine has a friend who has a friend that has a brother -that has a girlfriend who works in the office - - or a dad that was suppose to have said that the dog handler said anymore - -just don't trust anything until we see the kids name officially a committed Jayhawk or from Coach saying it's official. - Examples? - - Ayton - - -Hurt - - - Julian - -and on - - and - - on - -and on - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well it looks as though we will be finding out by Monday morning at the latest on Doke and also will play a big part about the decision of Silvio's future at KU. - Sunday Night is the deadline for a player to declare early for the NBA draft - So if either Doke or Silvio is going to declare - -they have to have it done by Sunday Night. - -So I guess we will know if Doke OR Silvio declares. If Silvio doesn't - -then he may just ride it out - -see how this appeal goes.

Speaking of that Matt had a pretty good article trying to break down Silvio's appeal and the time frame. - He also talked about WHY it had taken KU 75 days to actually file the appeal - -which I thought they had already doen, and then when I saw that they had just filed I was thinking what the hell - -but he explains why - -makes sense.

I'm still starting to think more and more that Doke might just actually return next year but I wouldn't bet the farm on it - -we will see - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wasn't sure where to put this - -Football ? - -Or Basketball. - Just read off the Phog.

The Board of Regents gave initial approval for renovations for Boothe Memorial Stadium and Allen Fieldhouse to a 5 year Capital improvement -- -however what the projects would detail are not clear.

The 5 yr Capital improvement which included setting a series of Dates for the 300 Million worth of renovation to KU'S stadium and a ONE time 20 Million renovation to the field house.

The Board will consider final approval to the 5 year plan in it's may meeting - -the renovation would begin in July of 2020.

The 1st phase of the football renovation which would total 170 million would begin during the 20231 fiscal year or the academic year with a 6.2 million project. The Allen Field House renovation is also slated for the 20-21 fiscal year.

The 1st phase would continue in the 2022 fiscal with a 66 million project and in 2023 fiscal with a 97.8 million renovation project.

The Phase 2 of the renovation total of 130 Million would begin in the 2025 fiscal year with a 30 Million project and the remaining 100 Million of the renovation are slated to take place after the 5 year Capital improvement plan.

the funds would be coming through Private donations - -well sounding like that renovation WILL take place afterall. - - Long said he wanted to wait until he got the football back on or headed in a better direction - which has taken shape with the Hiring of Miles it says. - -Hope I'm around long enough to see the finished product. - makes me happy - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

ya Stanley went from the 17th - - to the 20th - -now the 22nd - - unless he is wanting a couple of more days to really think things over and talk with family a little more - - doubtful but then again who knows.

I know this kid has been mentioned on here before. - -Caleb Lohner 6"7. Just seen a 10 minute video on him ya I know high lite BUT man like has been said not really sure if we are putting in our time with him or not BUT.

The kid can flat out stroke the ball. - He Can catch and shoot - - he can shoot it off the dribble - - - he can finish at the rim - can really stroke the 3 ball - - - - -Decent handles - -Only draw back I can see is he DOESN'T have Garrett's shooting form lmao - - just kidding.

Thing is hearing he is more likely Mormon - -probably a BYU recruit - but sure the hell doesn't hurt to put out feeler's Can't hurt - - you don't show any interest - -you sure the hell aren't gonna get anyone. -- Worth a shot. - Oh Ya and has really nice hair lmao. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The player I was talking about - tweeted out tonight around 9:55 : - -I need to get back up to Kansas.

I'm telling you guys this kid is legit. - -ranked like @# 95 in the Nation - would be HUGE - -get the feel that we could easily end up landing him.

Saw him play against Oak Hill recently. He was good as a stretch 4. Kofi couldn't handle his versatility.

He needs to get rid of that mop on his head though. Looks so silly with it.

Wasatch Academy has another guy on their team worth monitoring. He was a blur with the ball, their PG Mike Sanders. He's Devon Dotson quick with the ball. Defended Cole Anthony well. Has a 6'7 wingspan. Not a great shooter at this point but he'll rise from his current rank #228.

nuleafjhawk said:

@BeddieKU23 Just curious - why do you feel like he won't get an invite?

For starters the fact he didn't play last year.

I was optimistic about his potential this past season and felt his absence was as big as losing Doke. He just fit what the team needed down low.

You know - - I dunno , but for some reason I'm just stating to think that just MAYBE - DOKE does come back. - - Didn't think there was a snowball's chance in hell at 1st BUT - - I mean why hasn't he announced already? - -you would of thought that with the way I was thinking and a lot of others were thinking that beyond a doubt he was gone - -If DOKE was the same train of thought - he would of just came right out and said I'm declaring.

I think like has been mentioned , with his injury I don't think he will be available for the Combine - and as we know that's pretty much an informational thing. Well he was told LAST year what he needed to work on - - well with his season injury didn't get that chance to work on it. So nothing has changed in that perspective

Probably crazy - -just starting to feel Maybe. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wonder if Mr. Hurt got a nice consulting gig in Durham?

Anyway, still have a good shot at Holyfield, Enaruna, and Precious for 4’s. Hampton as a 2. I’m also more optimistic than most Doke comes back.

I'm beginning to wonder about Doke myself. - -Thought at 1st there was NO CHANCE, still feeling pretty low on it but more then yesterday or the day before. -Why is he taking so long to announce? - He is the one I would of thought for sure would of been the 1st or one of the 1st - -seems like he is holding off for some reason. - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Was reading other places and ALL said in 100% total agreement that there is no way that there was only 5,000 people there. Also talked to several that were there - -ALL said the same thing - way more then 5,000 not sure how the hell this idiot came up with 5,000.

Someone said maybe he can't count past that lol - -Anyways general concensus was people say around 12,000 - -sounds more like it. - West side was probably close to 3/4 full at one point anyways
