@jayballer73 ESPN shows that 1022 yards, there maybe question into a few of his runs being passes or runs. I think it has to be a forward pass to be a completion not a rushing attempt
I don't know I was just going of the KU site - - either way he is over a 1000 yds pretty dam good

Pooka has a chance to be the best RB in kansas history and that's saying a lot. If Miles can improve the offensive line, look out because he could be a Heisman threat in 2020 IMO. I was wondering if anyone knew the freshman rushing record? Pooka currently has 1022 yards in only ten games, he prob would've had over a 100 against Nichols and we would've won. Herbert and Williams both had 25+ yard runs in that game that Pooka prob houses for 6.
I.'m not sure what the record is. - -While I was trying to see if he had a 1,000 yards yet on the season = = pulled up the individual stats for the players off KU Athletics ,com- -and it show Pooka KUathletics . com with 1,071 yards. - -so the one you show or the one I seen off from KU either way he is over 1,000 yards
@Kcmatt7 from everything I've heard about Miles is , that he is a hell of a recruiter. - -Was a pretty cool piece on him and what people were saying about his recruiting & just overall about his character and such overall - the guy sounds like a home run WAY over the left center field fence. - -former players - -talking about him how he is a players Coach . - -Talked about how he has had multiple top 10 recruiting classes. - -talked about how his worst class was like 14th in the Nation and that came in half of a recruiting cycle during a Coaching change
Would be nice to see if he can start getting some more talented plyers to come check us out - -recruit Texas really hard too on top of Louisiana - yet said he wouldn't restrict to certain areas
Like I said yesterday would be nice if he could check back in and possibly with the 4* QB that had committed to us verbal then back off maybe get him to think again - -
Well just don't count us out YET on Zeke. - -Know been said Zeke's family nervous about this FBI thing -BUT when I was doing my troll thing - scoping out other message boards,
N Carolina fans a lot think they just got in to late , and some posters said that Zeke and them left from the recruiting visit early - like left to go home eany Saturday instead of staying the 3 days, - -Now is there any truth to that? - -who know for sure - -but that is what's on their board. - -I haven't seen the fat lady yet - - -haven't heard her singing yet - -so guess we will find out Friday , MAYBE -- just MAYBE we can pull him off yet. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Les on Hawk Talk said 14 HS coaches have already contacted him saying they have player(s) for him. Going to get interesting fast.
Getting Legendre back in the fold would be amazing.
DAM bud - -wouldn't that be sweet if Les could get Legendre to come back? - -you never know, if Les gets after him I would think we have a good chance. - -
Sounds like for sure there are a lot of Coach's that would like to see their boys talk to Les. -You know Les like he said when he was talking about walk on's if they deserve even being a walk on then he would let them walk on - - Same way with Scholi's -- Les isn't going to take a body to take a body. - So if these Coach's have players they said they have for Les they are at least fairly decent I would think. - Good chance our recruiting may not be that bad after all.

@mctaitHad a chance to chat with Les Miles, one on one, after his presser & I got the feeling he’s got at least half of his staff in place. Nothing official or signed yet, but the guy knows who his guys are... #KUfball
Sounds really good to me - -we need to get rolling. - Kind of figured that might be the case - -so they can get out and get after some kids. - Would be really hard to recruit and try to assemble a staff at the same time -- got all the confidence Les is going to get some solid asst Coach's - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark Hugh Freeze as off coordinator - we'll have the whole Dixie Mafia on board before you can say "Pooka to the left ...Pooka to the right ...". No doubt Freeze would be a remarkable play caller- is he going to be our recruiting coordinator? Not sure that would end well. We could full monte on it, turn overnite into a football machine, have a Top 5 recruiting class, then take our ncaa penalties, lay low for a year or two, and then gear it up back again.
Seen his name mentioned during the presser - ok so I have no idea where is this guy from?
Well what did you think? -kind of struggles , but people saying he is not really a good interview. - Sid some things I like what I heard. - -Biggest thing I like I think is that he is very open to talking to the current staff about the possibility if being retained. - -say like Oh I dunno maybe Tony Hull possibly lol - really hope that work out.
Read a lot of comments from former LSU fans or other people saying he is a great recruiter. - -said starts with finding the OC - -and Dc first with his staff, -will be hitting the phone tomorrow making contact with possible asst's. - -ring was nice & that was a conference ring - would love to see the National Championship ring.
Was nice to hear that he isn't limited to any special place as far as recruiting -which means if the talent is there he has no problem recruiting Kansas - -UH OH K-State not going to be easy for you to get the Kansas kids anymore lol. - good time for Snyder to get out lol. - -Wonder how long it will take for Les to shut the door and not let local talented recruits to get swipped away for out of state College's - -I'm ready - -got a good feeling about this -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Les Miles. To KU. To KU. Excuse me, I'm going to have to take a moment to let thought unwrap in my brain. I say he makes 4 bowl games in 5 years, and then wants to go back to LSU, where he gets fired after his 3rd game.
lol -- you stop that lol
So he agreed to a 2,775,000 5 year contract - - -will be introduced at 5 on a special hawk talk so will be able to hear right? - -lots of incentives for him - -has additional retention bonuses on November in 2020 - -And 2022.
OK question for you all. - -Would we think that Les probably already has some of his staff already on board wouldn't he? - -Would be awfully hard for him to be out recruiting and trying to establish a staff at the same time - -would think he has got some of the staff already in place right?

Not a win but a really good showing for KU, definitely above what was expected. OU had to earn the win and now is the only conference team with a shot at the playoffs although it is stating to look like the conference will not have a team in the playoffs.

Me thinks the concern is premature. Two freshmen playing the 1-2 spots. Pretty important. And Dedric playing for the first time next to a monster, and in a concept, he's never played in before. We were 4/1 all last season.
I truly have zero concerns right now.
This is all really a chemistry thing and folks finding their roles, adapting the Self's requirements, etc. He's starting the best players. It just needs a little time.
That's not saying I won' be concerned in late January if our character doesn't change.
Very well said - -straight up - spot on. - -Like I posted earlier , it takes time- -lots of new faces , 3 players just trying to get back after sitting out a year - -3 Freshmen players , ya good but they are freshmen - -going to be streaky - -like a roller coaster for awhile - -good or not - -they are Freshmen. - -Yet look at it like this they played this bad but YET we still won. - -just going to take some time

@BShark No doubt it was a poor effort. That game made everyone except Vick and Doke look soft. We're miles and miles away from being a good team. I didn't see very much mental toughness- you've got 2 playing their heart out, and the rest look tentative, unsettled and mediocre. Lightweights. Pretenders. They have a long way to go before they live up to their ranking.
man, we are so spoiled - -always want perfection , Now I' not trying to pick you out - -not at all , but just in general as a whole. - -People have to remember - -these guys we are calling lightweights - -Pretenders - -well we got to remember , , so far our starting back court is Freshman , I mean sure both looked at as pretty highly recruited players. - - but they just doing what Freshmen do , they are going to have ups and downs. Gonna be streaky for awhile , I mean this is ONLY our third game of the season - - -seems like these lightweights didn't do to bad in the opening game against Michigan St. - -Again going to be some roller Coaster for a bit.
Then you look at Dedric -- - KJ - -& Charlie - -had to sit out for a year , only 3rd game -- gonna take some time - - - Then you have to have time to be able to mesh as a team - -lots of new pieces , even with Dedric - - and Charlie gonna take time learning a new team and mesh -- as Aaron has said - -we just need to R - E - L - A - X
Look at it this way - - When you have Dedric supposed pre season all American playing so so , and still getting what?20 points - - -0 points -& 17 points - - - Lagerald - - what 4 points against Michigan St? -- Doke has had a bad game - -and yet we STILL win? - -were gonna be ok. - - time - -just takes some time it's only the 3rd game - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Glad to see what sure looks like anyways - with Miles hire. - I'm STILL gonna approach , this at least for awhile with caution.
I'm just tired of getting my hopes up - - , then Weiss, takes a crap on this thing -- BOTH his QB'S he got in here - -did the same
I am going to try and temper my expectations - - -hoping people not expecting for him to come in and take us to un-realistic things this 1st year. - -Now if he could come in we win our non con games - get 2-3 wins in the big 12 his 1st year that would be awesome-doubt that will happen.
On another note wondering now - -with Les coming aboard and possibly Tony stayin on board - -wonder if Pooka STAYS in stead of transferring like the rumor has been. -- then also would be kind of nice if they could get Fisch as the OC - -maybe that's why long might of been talking to him in Colorado - -would be a nice stat. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
