@jayballer73 Strange BP readings. Sounds like the pacemaker is a good idea. Do you think the car accident you posted about right before you posted 10 days ago caused a lot of stress that triggered some reaction?

not sure buddy. Although I had been having dizziness and light headed for sometime - just not blacking out. - -Am under some stress ou other daughter has been causing us some real issues - she has no idea what the word respect means- -treats her mama really bad verbal. I do know that right after I talked to her just since I was in the hospital my BP was bad enough it triggered the alarm. I don't even know at this point. - -pace maker brought my heart rate up to in the 60's real quick so that's good

I asked the doctor the cardiologist sooo perfect scenario what the heart rate would be? - - they said well everyone is different but they would like a heart rate to be from the 60's to 100. So along ways to go but better then it was for sure -- Thanks my friend

@jayballer73 Glad to see you're on the mend. Welcome back!

Thanks , pretty sore - moving kind of slow - - BUT I'M HERE lol thanks words are appreciated

BShark said:

Welcome back, friend.

Thank you bud - - --good to be back

Hey my friends I'm back. Dam I missed you guys , wasn't sure if I'd BE BACK PERIOD. Been through a scary time. I have spent the last 8 days in the Hospital. Went in last Tuesday , had been getting dizzy and light headed for a period of time -- like would get huge head rush and really dizzy, well when I went in had just recently started backing out to go along with the other AND losing control of bladder not even knowing .

So blacked out last Tuesday , wife took me into the Hospital my blood pressure was all over the place spiked to like 184/134. - - So they admitted me , mercy so many doctors. - -Ended up with Doctors from like the Hospital Doctor - - -to Cardiology -to Neurology to a Doctor can't pronounce the name but dealing with like thyroid and Adrenalin glands plus some others all kinds of physical therapy

To many tests to mention them all. yet there were tests like EKG'S - - -EEG'S - - -ULTRA SOUND -- - CT'S - - -CT'S WITH CONTRAST - - MRI'S - - MRI'S WITH CONTRAST - - - ALL KINDS OF BLOOD WORK - multi orthostatics test - -that's where they check your blood pressure when your laying down , then sitting up - -then standing up. That was a major part of the problem , my blood pressure would go like from 150/plus or so when I was laying down then would drop like 20 points or so when I sit up and then would bottom out when I stood up -bottom numbers got as low as like 80/50.

On top of that my heart rate was no good. - - my heart rate was running like in the middle to low 40's most the time even dropped as low to like 36 beats. - - -NOT GOOD. - - -tripped the alarm alot -- my BP tripped the alarm alot bad combination crazy BP and slow heart beat.

They said they were really frustrated, hadn't really seen anything like this - -couldn't get it figured out between all of them, said it might just be an on going issue - -bottom line they - ended up putting a pace maker in me and got me on medication to bring my BP up. - -What I mean by that is bring all my numbers up said they would rather have them up easier to deal with then bottom out - no more 80's/50.

Just really really sore, not allowed to raise my left arm above my shoulder for 6-8 weeks have to keep it in a sling when I sleep keep it restricted - - can't drive for two weeks. just so glad to be back my friends missed you all. - just thanking GOD for him watching over me. - Telling you guys I was scared straight up - this was no joke. -- Really glad to be back. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Yep dropped the third set after leading by 4 in it now down 6 in the fourth. It looks exactly like when they beat us in Basketball, we just show up and they have the energy and fire. I just turned it off, I ain’t gonna watch a team just go thru the motions like they have better to do. Maybe they over looked KSU with the big games they’ve won and KSU being 0-6 in the league. Sadly I think we had like 7 or 8 straight wins in the series. It just stuff you’d expect from a young team but still disappointing.

ya like you say relly disappointing young or not. Especially when how we play against Texas /Baylor

kjayhawks said:

Playing KSU right now on the U, pretty sloppy so far. Tied a set a piece

maybe we got a little bit much of ourselves

I've been beating this drum. He's an all around special player. Haven't had a forward as good as him in a hot minute. He is Simien/Marcus good.

just don't beat it to hard , we need the drum to last for the entire year lol - -- it's like only 18 days till the start -- we begin on the 25th of October right? - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@kjayhawks ya I for sure have no problems with him as a person. I know it's hard for him I'm sure pretty much knowing your fate , knowing your done , it's just a matter of WHEN your done , that would be really hard for me to do if I were in that position He seems like a very personable/likeable person , I just think he is in over his head . I've always thought that he will Coach this entire year , I think now could they be out looking for a Coach during the year? - - I'm sure they are - no problem with that. I'm just a person that is a person that never has been in favor for firing a Coach in the middle of the year - - All it servers is further disruption with the team - makes even a bad situation that much worse. - Let him have the year , how do we know that Long doesn't already have someone in place for next year - just WE won't know

We have some pieces - - -you can see it. Thing is here again with Coach Beaty , we only have 2 recruitments well that WE know about , wouldn't know of any reason why he would keep others a secret - - -I suppose there might be some that behind the scenes where the staff feels really good about, just have actually committed. Then again he gets fired then what would it do to THOSE RECRUITS?.

No matter who the next Coach is , and I know they like to bring in there own staff but If it were me , If I was the next Coach if there was ONE guy from the current staff I would want to talk to - - possibly think about retaining it would be Tony Hull. Let's say if the next Coach does turn out to be Les Miles just for conversation speak here - -let's say Les comes in agree's to like a 5 year contract. -If I were him I think it would be ideal the way I see it anyways or the way I would like for it to be.That is Les is here for the five years he decides to keep Tony - I would love for Les to take Tony as like an understudy - -groom him - - teach him the ropes - -I mean Tony is gaining SOME experience with College right now , but give Les those 5 years teach Tony and then after those 5 years hire Tony as the Next Coach after Les leaves. I just don't think at his age Les is going to be around or want to be much more then that anyways - - With Tony's inroads to the boot we can't really afford to turn that loose - he can reap huge benefits down the road with him I think - -just my thoughts- -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

kjayhawks said:

@jayballer73 I’ll agree to disagree with you buddy. I think we are 4-2 right with the right coach.

quite possibly - -like I said I was a long time Beaty backer - -but I'm just not there now. - Yet I have seen some - -again some improvement - -we got some pieces - -and that is probably where another Coach needs to be here. - - I thought the D play a fairly solid game today - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Read the article of Zags. - - -Hurt said there are 7 schools that contact him a lot , and he probably won't cut schools. - -they are: Duke - -Indiana - - - -KU -- Kentucky - - Memphis- - -Minnesota - - & N Carolina.

Looking to make official visits , he wants to see the real atmosphere and environment is like.

He said as far as visits that FOOTBALL games are probably more of a fun type of visit BUT said he thinks he will get more out of it by going to a big basketball game - - - WHEW that's a break for us lol.

One of the big important thIngs will be the relationship with Coach's and how comfortable he is with then also is big for him and his family. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

kjayhawks said:

@jayballer73 better coaching wins that game for KU, they had every chance to be in it late.

And they were, being down 2 scores in the 4th quarter is not out of it

kjayhawks said:

Friends if had a coach, we ve bowling this season. Get effort til the end very proud of our guys.

ummm , I'm not a beaty fan anymore either - -however he didn't cost us this game today in any shape or form. Our offensive inconsistency crucial mistakes by our QB'S at the wrong times - - -like I said in the other thread - -Beaty had nothing to do with Carter just letting the ball slip through his hands in the early portion of the game when we had excellent field position on liked I think our 2nd possession - turn the ball over - -- Lassiter muffing the punt after the Defense had forced West Virginia to punt from the back of their own enzone - - giving WV a gimme TD - Bender once again throwin behind the receiver - -innerception - -- Beaty had no part of any of that - -that's all concentration on the players part. -- O- line held up well for the most part.

Our defense did enough in this game for us to win the game. - - WV hadn't been stopped ALL year when entering the Red Zone - -today KU defense stopped them 3 times. - - WV - -had only givin up 14 TFL'S all year - - -KU had 10 TFL'S today - - the Defense did more then their part to win this game. Announcers said as much also.

Your playing the 8th ranked team in the Nation on their home field - -ya got to give them some props today - - I mean sure it's a loss but when your only down 2 scores going into the 4th quarter - -that happens to a lot of teams - Now does it make a difference for Beaty - -hell no. Al I'm saying is - -he doesn't cost us the loss today just mistakes at the wrong time Like was said sure you get 6 to's against these lesser names - - it's like eh - - BUT you get 4 against a Heisman canidate - -on his home field - -you get 4 take aways - -shows why this team is at the top or very near the top leading the nation. - without 2 of our starting DB's - -I can't be really that mad today = =at least keep things interesting- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

You know guys , sitting here watching this Ku/WV game today - I dunno man frustrating cause dam, I mean here we are playing against a very potential Heisman player like they are mentioning and yet - -ok West Virginia coming into this game today had been in the red zone 20 or like 25 times this season and had neve been stopped - -they had scored EVERY TIME this year- --yet we stop them 3 times in the 1st half. - - -West Virginia has lead the nation this year in NOT being tackled for a loss they had only been tackled for a loss 14 times all year - -and yet we have 4 TFL'S in the 1st half. - -We have 3 innerceptions in the 1st half - - - -FRUSTRATING as hell.

Now I'm not trying to back Coach but I mean we have had opportunities in this game - -I mean really good field position and on 4th and short Stanley just fumbles the ball right out of his hands - -giving West Virginia excellent filed position pretty much gimme TD for WV. = = Beaty can't catch the snap for Stanley

Bender throws the ball for INT - -Coach can't throw the ball for Bender. -I don't know if it's timing between QB and Receiver or what -- -Coach can't throw or catch the ball that's on Bender.

Hasan Houston only has 1 man to beat to return for Int for TD and gets caught by the QB - -make a juke and it's a score -just saying guys there IS some pieces and we can't blame EVERYTHING on Coach - little things focus - -concentration by our plyers - -come on - -just frustrating

Marco said:

I think that we'll have to fill six scolarships, and will nab Nnaji a 5, JRE a 4, Hurt a 3 and some 4, and - call me high - Stanley, a 2 who can play some 3. McBride and Braun waiting their turn, as they undoubtedly already know. Thought, anyone (and don't call me high Lol)?

OK -I won't call you High - -but I have a question for you . - - -Are you drunk lmao. - As much as I would love to land ALL 3 big men , I just don't see that happening. My ideal 2 probably would be JRE & Hurt . Yet any combo 2 out of those 3 will still be OK with me. - - I'm not really sure but I just get this feel that Zeke just might pop for us not long after his visit this weekend.

So that leaves us with the question do we take Hurt BEFORE - - JRE decides and that leaves JRE out of the equation - OR does JRE commit 1st and that leaves Hurt out?- - Personally I think Zeke will be the 1st to commit - -JRE has hinted that he wants to sign in late November before the Season begins - -and from what he had to say to Corey Evans from Rivals sure makes it sound like to me that we are sitting REALLY GOOD with him - -it is just sounding more and more like Hurt will be a spring time decision - which in turns I think when it's all said and done he won't land here.

If we land Cassius that's a definite bonus for us , cause it just seems like he came out of nowhere with us. I mean I thought it was a pretty common sense that he was staying back on the Coast - -and now? - people saying were siting better then a lot thought we shall see - -THAT would be sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeet. - - Ok I'll let you go so you can go sleep it off and NO your not High lol. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

BShark said:

@Kcmatt7 Don't think KU is a real option there. KU is in deep with Stanley, Hurt, JRE, Nnaji and Chandler. There probably won't be enough open scholarships to take them all, not that Self would necessarily pull it off anyway.

I'd tag Achiuwa like Hurt and Chandler, guys that can play 3-4 easily and could do spot duty at the 5 but wouldn't at KU considering the roster.

I like Hurt's game but I don't think he is so must get that you don't take all of JRE, Chandler and Nnaji if they want to commit.

I'm of the thinking more and more kind of like what you say. I love Hurt , nothing not really to like - - BUT I have started to thinking more that Hurt is going to be a spring predict. - Earlier I thought he would commit in the fall So now the dilemma - -I if it was me , and yes I know it's not , but with these 3 JRE - - Hurt -- - & Nnaji - -I just feel or think I would take the first two to commit - I'm not gonna hold back on the chance of getting Hurt in the spring -and I just don't think we land all 3. - -not that I wouldn't love it - - just not seeing that. - -Any combo of those 3 is good with me.

The thing is about holding back for a spring commit is -- so you kind of hem-haw around with one of the two that's ready to commit in the fall but you hold off , so he looks else where and then the one you think your getting I the Spring commits elsewhere then you not only lost the one - but now you have lost both I just think
. - - If it turns out it is JRE/ Nnaji - it's fine = =if it's JRE/Hurt not tripping -- - if its Hurt/Nnaji cool I just don't think there is major difference. - - So having said all that mumbo - -jumbo - -what do you all think? - -you think Zeke commit fairly soon? - - or does he commit at all? - -I'm just feeling more and more like Hurt is going to hold off till spring

@BShark Hey man I feel really blessed lol - the President gonna be in town tomorrow ought to be fun lol

Ok I plead the idiocy rule. - -Did is Miss something? - -did the boat take of without me, cause I for sure have no idea. - -What and or why when every time I turn around and read on the football - -all I keep hear/reading is Les Miles. Did I miss something? - someone got some inside poop or what? - -have we secretly offered him? - has he accepted? - why is his name out here so much? Also if I haven't then I'm just not seein it. - Why in this point in time of life would he ever want to come to a program such as ours to finish his career? - - I just DO NOT see Les Miles coming to KU - -at all - but like I said maybe some one has heard something from a guy - -who knows a guy - - who they know a guy - -that knows a guy that knows - -maybe Les is already on board - -anybody know? -- - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Texas Hawk 10 said:

@KUSTEVE I don't think we'd see them in the front court together very much even if SDS is ruled ineligible. KJ will mostly play the 3 this year and when he does play the 4 spot, it'll be in place of his brother, not next to him, but that's assuming Self doesn't decide to play Mitch as the back up 4 if Silvio is ruled ineligible.

Ya I think your right.I think if anything were gonna see Mitch backing Dedric at the 4- -KJ will either play the 3 or he has even played some 2 -but I think most the time he will be exclusive 3. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well read where Corey Evans caught up with JRE this week , and had this to say. JRE was asked about his visit from late night with KU , and he said: - -Late Night was good , got to see a different perspective, more laid back this time , they ( KU ) showed me ALOT more. Got to watch film how they like to run stuff the 4 - - Versatile 4"s are very successful at KU being able to rebound and get out and push the ball.

Corey they asked JRE specifically if leaving the area has made him long to return to Kansas for College? JRE responded and said: It would be cool to play where my dad played , and then also having my family there , and all of my friends there that I would have back in Kansas City - - So would be pretty much home and would be a very good fit.

This sounds pretty encouraging to me. - -Again like Matt Scott said earlier today - that he just wanted to re-assure people that KU was sitting very well with JRE. - -JRE said he is wanting to possibly commit by late November , before the Season starts. - -If he knows where he wants to go , then he wants to get it done before the season starts - -I like our chances - -ROCK CHALKALL DAY LONG BABY

So , with all these schools offering Bowen money - -helping with housing 8.00 cars roflmao whatever I'm beginning to think that the way this is going the NCAA would have to put half the schools on probation inn one form or another - this isn't HALF of what's going on I'm getting the sense - -ALOT more schools that probably guilty not even getting caught up. If they try and penalize all the schools they are gonna be in sad shape.

Like has been said in the past - - if they really wanted to the NCAA could probably put every single school in the Nation on probation - -the rules are so jacked up - -they talking about the possibility of Compliance office and how closely thing are monitored - hell I'm not feeling nearly as bad after seeing this. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

NCAA already declared him eligible. :shrug:

The thing is that the NCAA cleared him last year , that's great BUT what they cleared him for was they cleared him for the courses he took met NCAA guidelines to qualify to graduate early and gain entrance mid semester , and play for KU last year - -that course he had took met guidelines and were acceptable courses - this was BEFORE any of this became knowledge but quite some time- -they haven't cleared him for any possible payments of 20,000 him or his guardian may have taken from Gotto

I think Silvio is DONE. - - Do I think it's right ? - -- Hell no I don't - I truly feel he has no idea , like someone else said IF the guardian took money then HE is the one who needs his ass kicked , he just caused Silvio to lose his Amateur status -- I don't think you'll ever see Silvio touch the floor in another ball game for KU. - - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If you get a chance like Mat Tait said , if you get a chance go to Yahoo sports College podcast. - talks about this FBI thing, with Dan Wentzel - - -Pat Forde and some dude named Pete somebody , who the hell knows - -anyways they said or Wenztel as - The defense is coming all out with it they say

They are admitting everything yes we did this BUT - NCAA rules are not in the laws of the Country/ throwing it out that they did nothing wrong. Like Adidas saying HEY we were using Adidas money , trying to get the kid to an Adidas school. The defense is thought or possibly trying to express that is how am I hurting a school by getting them a good player.

Wentzel says if the Feds are trying to win this case based upon by talking about the love of NCAA rules - he thinks the defense has a good shot at winning this case. He almost makes it sound like since this trial is being heard in NY sits up a lot better for the defense then if it was being held in Indiana

They said people just don't care about a lot of this. They said the fallout of this isn't gonna be whether Dawkins gets a year in some minimum security prison - -It's gonna be about the banners forfeited - - Coach's fired - -wins vacated.

Prosecution brought out in a one line statement how Billy Preston was paid or agreed to be paid 90,000 dollars to come to the University of Kansas. - -Mercy what a mess. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well feeling somewhat better. - - - read an article that was talking about the 1st day of the trial and trying to make sense from it:

It states , that the Feds are trying to prove that the Adidas officials including Gatto are trying to defraud Universities , stripping players of their amateur status by paying them with out the Universities knowledge. ( if they get this done that HAS to benefit us for sure right? ) The Article says Gatto has to come up with evidence other then hear say. - -The jury will look at him as a partial witness as he has to much to lose - - ( his freedom ) - what he trying to do is throw his business partners - Coach's under the bus to save his bacon.

They write is this article - - they wrote so - - -Will the wire taps reveal Coach's were orchestrating the payments? - - - A prosecutor's friend says the prosecutor says his guess is NO. He says IF that were the case one of two things likely would of happened. Either the Coach's would of been listed as Co- conspirators , defrauding the very University for which they work for OR the Feds would realize the schools weren't being defrauded because the schools knew about the payments and the feds would choose not to proceed with the case. - - -- Interesting , man hope this all works out

NOW he doesn't give a dam. - -I have a feeling and I'm not necessarily taking huge - -but now I'm getting this feeling that because of the way things are looking up in the air and if you noticed - - De-Sousa and KU was one of the 1st things - -1st day - -just got this feeling that YES it just might have some influence - no matter what size portion - -but really feel that this just might be enough to push a couple of people the other way , quite possibly Hurt - - maybe even JRE - -you can take it to the bank GOOD OL ROY BOY and crew will be running this with wildfire - -things gonna get interesting/maybe ugly. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Well, not looking good. So Gotto's attorney asked and was told that yes Gotto paid somebody at the very least from De-Sousa's camp 20,000 dollars to come to KU. Gotto this was done AFTER DeSousa or some body in De-Sousa camp received 20,000 from Under Armor - - for Silvio to play for Maryland. - -So Somewhere in the De-Sousa camp they received 40,000. 20.000 from Adidas - -20,00 from under Armor.

People on some other sites saying not good - -some talking about having to vacate our final four. - Myself I think Silvio is done. - Like someone else mentioned they don't see how Coach Self could possibly play Silvio now. - -Could very easily have to forfeit any games he played in - -he receiving money there goes your Amateur status quick - -ROCK CHALK AL DAY LONG BABY

@BeddieKU23 So then what did his guardian do with the money?

No idea, he's denied ever receiving it.

If there is a paper trail that gets handed off to the NCAA once this whole trial is over, then that's where Silvio's eligibility could get looked at.

True , but come on , I know your not really saying you believe that are you? With so many dirty agents - -and there are PLENTY of Guardians the same way, you can't really believe that he REALLY didn't receive that money do you? I hope turns out that he DIDN'T receive any money , but I'm not holding my breathe. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

See where Slater just put in a CB pick for Zeke to Arizona. -- ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

The good thing is that ku still
Leeds the only thing is if Arizona keeps getting pick in then we would know that where he will land

your quite possibly right , then again all we have to do is look back at the De-Andre Ayton recruitment - -we had all his CB' picks for the longest time - -then come announcement time - -BAM - -I'm going to commit to Arizona lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

If I am reading this correctly Gatto is admitting that he / Adidas paid Silvio 20,000$ to go to Kansas.

Well Under Armour paid DE Sousa 20,00 to play for Maryland he said - - So did Under Armour and Adidas BOTH pay De-Sousa? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
