@jayballer73

I think we are in a great position as well but getting a Cali kid to leave that comfort zone still has me worried. Oregon still feels like the favorite despite their roster that's full of SG's and wing types. Stanley could be a real momentum changer for KU going into the spring recruiting period

Stanley actually feels like an almost need for us - - - after so many misses this season , really need him - -a big need for that position also. - - Agree gonna be hard - -been hearing that Oregon is leading now - -hopefully Bill and staff stays all over him and we can pull him out. - -I know he really enjoyed his visit. - -we just HAVE to close out - convince him - it's here for the taking. - -I think he could step right in. - -could really help salvage this year.

He said in his interview though he is in no hurry to commit , possibly sit down with his parents in a bit. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

We are the better team on paper. If we defend the 3 well everything will be fine.

Ya that's who it was - -I said Booth shooting the 3 -- - my bad - -it's Paschell , he is the idiot that likes to kick his leg out and look for the foul , him a nd G - -not going to try and spell his name - - those are two that is just a must - -contest the 3 on - -otherwise they can kill you from the 3

kjayhawks said:

Nova looks like garbage at this point but Pascall is a match up nightmare. He's way faster that Dedric and can score on Garrett. If we dont let anyone else go nuts we will probably be ok. Watching us struggle with average teams and the way Wright has had Selfs number, only a fool thinks this will be a route in favor of ku. Nova could've been looking past this game pretty easily.

Still gonna have to get out and defend the dam 3 -- especially on oh hell what's that dude's name? - -the guard? - -then Booth to right?

What's this leg kick out crap?

YA, and then expect the offical to call a foul - -not happening

KU has an open scholly... Would take.

With Dotson creeping up draft boards another PG could be needed

are we talking about Quin here? - -if we are I would take also -know we had offered him , - and if we are talking the same line - -ya if Devon keeps moving up then ya he could slide in. - - However selfishly - -I HOPE Devon comes back at least for another year lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Your right, wrong interview I was thinking of. Interesting to see what they are waiting on

Let's see , It's UCLA - -Oregon - -And KU isn't it? - - if that's Right - -there is some rumblings that Alford's future at UCLA may be a change there - - then Oregon has it's issues with the NCAA and possible probation - -and then Us - -were not out of the woods either but still - -I still kind of get the feel we might be in better shape then some think - -time will tell I reckon - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@Crimsonorblue22 Yes. Hasn't played.

Are you sure he I still there? - I thought I had read he transferred again

They are going nuts In Louisiana - -one of the posts stated:

From a poster from Gettem Tiger : -- he stated at 3:30 this afternoon , - He says long time lurker and joined to post this. My Cousins sister that is on the football staff ( AD ) I'm assuming works in the AD office said that things aren't looking good after Starks took his visit to Kansas.

Evidently Starks has informed the staff that while he is verbally committed to LSU , he is still keeping his options open until signing day.

The thoughts from within are that he is going to flip to Kansas due to the atmosphere in Lawrence and his connections with the other Louisiana Animals . - - Guy's we really got an issue with the repertoire the Miles has down here along with the Tony Hull connections.

Got to love this , whether it turns out correct or not. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Question? - -When is the LAST time KU has had this kind of Coaching Staff assembled ? - - -Ever ? - - another Question - -when is the last time you have seen this kind of emotion talking about KU football ? - -Ever ? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I just have to think we this group of Coach's Les has assembled - Pooka just has to stay - -what a group. - -you add Tony - -noting official but I'm just sure he is retained - -ad him to this group - and it's becoming a monster staff. - -Les must carry some really heavy respect through Coaching for sure. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE WR COACH HIRE. HELL YES. CROOOOOOOOTIN.

HUGE - - HUGE -- HIRE - - Emmit Jones - - -major , major big time recruiter and he is a stud in the Dallas Texas area - -radio said could already be paying dividends . - - -Stephan Parker a 4 * receiver had committed to Texas Tech -- - Now Kingsbury - -is gone -- Jones is gone - -very quite possible flip - for us - - sit back and see if we get in the mix - - like our chances.

Coach Miles has put together a hell of a staff. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

And yet -- -we shall see -- guess that's why we play the game --- as always ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@jayballer73

In his latest interview I believe he was asked if any other schools had the chance to enter his recruitment and he didn't shut the door on that happening. Doesn't seem like he or his dad have got the deal they are looking for. But two of the programs they are considering are also potentially in the NCAA crosshairs after the season as well. I thought he'd at least verbal to whatever school he was going to at this point. Certainly doesn't seem like KU is going to be his landing place but that's just the current vibe and could certainly change..

Oh now see I just listened to an interview from a rivals lady - -and she asked him if any other schools could sneak in at this point - -and he said No , he didn't think so - -he had already been through this once -So it's just us three

MacVittie looks like a stud on film. Of course everyone does on their highlights. But he looks big and athletic. Would be happy landing him.

Be happy! He's ours.

Hell ya we got this kid - -we got us a QB - -don't get me wrong - yes I've like Carter - -BUT this kid is a whole new level - -I think I just we myself lol

Been really quiet on the recruiting front. - - - Ha anybody hear anything at all on the recruiting front with the Stanley Camp? - - I OV'd with us right? - -know we are in the final 3 I think we got a good shot but just been really quiet -- Anybody? - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Ya I'm pretty impressed with his tape - -nice touch - -got good wheels I would be happy with either one -- Legendre OR MacVittie - If MacVittie commits early great - - Legendre is committing till Feb- - hope we get one or the other. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DaY LONG BABY

He has an outstanding record at NDSU but it is a big jump to a P5 program and time will tell how well he does at the higher level. Obviously KSU thinks highly of him and offered a very good contract. The question is how long before he gets tired of dealing with Snyder who thinks he owns the program. I guess what happens to Sean Snyder will be telling, if he stays or gets promoted we will see Snyder's fingerprint all over; if he is let go then it will mark a new direction for the program, and an overdue end of the Snyder era.

Was just getting ready to say the same thing - -and saw you just stated what I was thinking. - -Ya he did well at North Dakota St - - and yes he had a couple of upsets against P-5 schools. However while it's nice to have that upset -HUGE difference from that and having to compete/battle against P-5 schools - -week in - - -week out. Day - -after - -day - - after - - day. - -and trying to match up with some of these jaugernauts - -is a totally whole different ball game there sparky.

He WAS NOT their # 1 pick -- as a matter of fact they had several pull out - -It was basically down to this guy and Brown from Troy right? - -the biggest hang up was Synder - -the 1st choice wanted to bring his whole staff - -KSU nixed that, ha d another one from Memphis say - - -umm - -NOPE- - I THINK Ol Bill has turned this into a cluster - we will see - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Saw some film on MacVittle - --I think I like - - I think I like a lot. - - nice touch , throws a nice intermediate ball - -can drop it in - -surprising faster then I thought - - nice wheels - -just looks really solid. - -Very nice size - no worries about having to try and throw over DL - -6'5 and 225 lbs - - runs a 4.5 pretty decent speed - -wouldn't hurt my feelings at all. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

IN a way - -wish we WEREN'T #1 - -just makes our bullseye that much bigger. - -Again the only real time it matters to me is at the end of the season with the NCAA title in hand.

The way we are playing right now - - this is NOT the # 1 team in the Nation - lots of room for improvement. - - WE are always going to be top 5 - - worst case scenario top 10 - -I'll take that till at least the later part of the season - -it will be ok. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@wissox - -BShark is pretty silly a lot of times , and he does what he does as I'm sure you know just to get people's feathers ruffled sometimes - -kind of tongue in cheek though a lot of times - -I just go with him - -he is not a bad guy really just a nut.

But I go forward looking for his posts - -cause I tell you what when it comes to recruiting tidbits Basketball info he is pretty much spot on - -with lots of information - - I know what your saying though - he is allright just being a goof a lot of times. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Probably going to land Thomas MacVittle, a JuCo QB. #1 pro style JuCo QB per 247. I consider him more of a dual threat guy. VERY athletic for his size (6'5 230) and has been consistently clocked under 4.6.

I was hoping KU could get back in with Legendre but I would bet this JUCO kid is better than anybody KU has on the roster at QB.

Was reading off the phog . and was thinking this before I saw a couple of responses from it. - -Some people were saying we land MacVittle , has 4.5 speed running the 440 - and we could redshirt Legendre.

I was thinking and then seen multiple responses stating the same and that is - - There is no way Legendre commits to a school and red shirts , to good for that to happen. so the best case scenario to come from this would be to land one or the other. - -Don't believe we could have a chance to land both.

BShark said:

@jayballer73 Russell + Agbaw is the start of a toughhhhh secondary.

KU is going hard to flip Garber too.

I think we flip Garber - - would be sweet -really want DAX too though

BShark said:

I would bet on Valerian Agbaw JR committing to KU as well. He visits on the 14th. Chevis Jackson was all over him when Jackson was at Ball State.

From what I've seen and been reading - -sounds pretty stoked on KU

BShark said:

Jayden Russell to KU.

HELL to the Crimson & Blue - -rootie toot - -been waiting for this - -now if we could land Dineen & Garber - -would be sweet. - - ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY

FarmerJayhawk said:

The next couple days are going to be fun, guys

Commit train about to start chuggin.

I HAVE TO SAY - - - -ME LIKE LOL - - -ME LIKE ALOT

@FarmerJayhawk I can't remember how long it has been since I've been this stoked about our KU football. - True not a single down has been played YET but oh the possibilities of a much more competitive program returning back is something nice to think about

I guess Dineen & Garber sit together last night - -and have been twitting about package deal - - - I'm hearing now that our chances for Legendre has went from NO CHANCE -to as good as chance as anyone. - -heard too that since Les has taken over that over 100 kids have Contacted Les with other D-1 offers

Every thing I'm hearing that we are right there with this 4 * line backer , sitting pretty good with the 3 * receiver -should be interesting in this next week - - - I truly think we are going to land multiple recruits for the early signing

Wouldn't it be great to have our regular kick ass band have a very solid - -competitive Football team at the same time? -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

KU doesn't really deserve it to me, but the record is impressive...

No your spot on BShark . at this point IS NOT a # 1 team , and at this point - -isn't that much anyways. At THIS point - - right now we are missing something. - We have played from behind so much this season - -it's not even funny.

Have now seen how when people had said that Dedric is not very athletic - - but he seems like just in the right spot at the right time quite a bit of the time. - -his vertical explosion is almost comical - - but HEY he still finds a way a lot of timers - -I'll take it

Who out here actually think we deserve to be # 1 based of game performance so far this season? - - -lots of room for improvement. Yet it seems kind of weak even for me to bitch to much when at the end of the day - -we are 8-0 - -Just like last night , when you look at it - - We get beat by 10 on the glass -we shoot 50 % from the free throw line - - we are without Doke - - -Vick has minimal out put- - -yet some how -- -some way we find a way to still win. Would just for once this year for us to be able to come out and not have to worry about having to battle from being behind. - -Like I said though , this could be a blessing later down the line - -very battle tested - - let's just crise for one lol. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@Woodrow Bad loss for KSU and the B12. Tulsa lost to SIU, Nevada and Utah. Their only decent wins are against Okie State and now KSU. B12 has taken it on the chin since Thanksgiving. Virtually no quality wins since and a few bad losses.

Certainly no shame in losing to Nevada - -ranked # 6 in the Nation - ALOT of teams will lose to team -Utah is so so -- SIU would for sure be the one that you would consider as a bad loss. -- ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY

Well guess that pretty well sums up how Self felt about the situation. - -When asked what happened about the 15 minute mark of the 2nd half when Dedric left the huddle - -He responded - - I don't know what your talking about. - -End of story then went on to next question - -pretty well we now know - -he was beyond pissed.

Huh?

Dedric went or got sent to the end of the Bench with like 15:42 during a timeout - -he said in a talk postgame he said he went to the end of the Bench to get himself focused and thinking about what he had to do - -regroup - - When Greg ask Coach Self asked about what went on or what happened during that span during the time out - -Coach didn't want to answer - pretty much blew it off - -said don't know what you are talking about

wissox said:

Just another average dominating win as the #2 team in the country.

YA buddy LOL

So if Dedric can makes plays like this at or towards the end of a game - -tell me WHY he can't play like this throughout the game?

I'm tellin you ya we won we keep pulling rabbits out of the hat - -one of these times - -we will reach for that rabbit and no rabbit there.

Thank you Mitch - -key minutes , great hustle - - how many charges did he take? - -scored a bit - -got some rebounds.

Would be nice for once not to have to reach for THAT rabbit. - -Grimes starts out nice then NOTHING the rest of the game - -same with Charlie - - it's a win that's about all I can say - -The ONE thing -the one , and that is come NCAA time we should have plenty of experience playing in tight game and knowing how to stay working. - - -how many times have we had to come from behind. - - Mitch 7 points - - 6 rebounds and what 3 charges? -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

who is our GO TO GUY - when we are really needing that BUCKET -- for sure not Dedric - -at least not right now - - he gets so many shots blocked -if he get's over 3 inches of the ground he gets a nose bleed. - - Vick is inconsistent - -- -Grimes? - - nuff said - - -Moore ummm no - -Dotson about as good as we got at this point

This KU team is really hard to watch

@jayballer73 Who is Dawson?????

ok try this - - - what has Lawson regressed to - -hard to argue when he get's sent to the end of the bench - - -has like a 2 in vertical - -easy to see why they said he had the worst out at the combine

we are NOT a good team right now - PERIOD

Big Clyde52 said:

@mayjay Vick has regressed to 2017.

What has Dawson regressed too?

you know this team hasn't really clicked ALL year. - -they just have looked liked they are mis firing every game - -they just don't lok good - -period , for sure NOT the number # 2 team in the Nation , have been flirting with Diaster all year

Another thing that would help is common sense.

nope they don't obviously have ANY common sense. -- How hard is it? -man when can we just have a normal season in football - - -basketball - whatever with out some kind drama - - anything not involving law enforcement - - Nice - --really sweet

I have to agree with you - -I've been saying for awhile that I think Devon's play is a lot LIKE Franks. super quick as far as that part goes I feel for sure that Devon is a lot quicker then frank - -just a blur - -& really tough kid just like Frank got that dog mentality - -loves to drive the ball - -think your spot on. - -I do think he will be back for a 2nd year - - after that - - all bets are off I have favored this kid back when we were recruiting him - - jumped on the Dotson bandwagon quick - -love this kid - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Absolutely a reason he was dropped. Definitely still want a 6'5 red zone and 3rd down threat. Mostly, I don't want someone else to get him and kill us in the playoffs with some dagger fade in the endzone.

LIKE I said hey just relaying what they were saying - -I don't know the guy from jack squat - -they say he is fat - - has no hands - -and say WHY - like I said fortuntly they don't see him signing with the Chiefs

hmmmm, maybe I'm missing something here , not that I really care one way or another BUT seems to be some difference of the quality of this player - -how good he is the way I'm seeing reaction here to what I'm hearing on the radio.

Something about he has the least separation on pass then any other receiver in the NFL - -said he brings NOTHING . - - their saying there is a reason he was dropped - -seems to be some difference here guys - -all I'm hearing is difference -these guys DO NOT want him , they said he came in to visit the chiefs - -but doesn't look like he will become a Chief - -hey don't hater the player - -hate the game - -just relaying what I heart on local sports talk show - - Good Luck guys. - -ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY

sounds like we are having recruits in this weekend - -sounds like local in-state kids.

My question here is - if you were bringing in recruits , wouldn't you think you would much rather bring them in to a KU Basketball game when we are playing at the phog - -we are playing at the sprint Center this weekend , that doesn't make as much sense to me. - Football Coaches have always seemed to bring in recruits to home Basketball games. - -Valerian Agbaw suppose to visit on 12-14 - -that's the kid out of Powder Springs Georgia -the 3 * receiver -would liket land him . - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
