Anyone know where Kadary Richmond is headed? OU? Should be an instant impact type player.

I think it’s a simple calculus: if you are certain to be drafted in the NBA draft, and likely in the first round, you look at the salary and contract and say, “that looks like a pretty good career opportunity.” He can always go back and get his degree. But the opportunity to be drafted and become an NBA player – no matter what team it is – is too good to pass up. I try to imagine if it was in another field, like engineering, or business, etc. If Google/Tesla/Amazon contacted a freshmen engineering student and said "come work for us and we’ll pay you X million for the next 3 years with the opportunity to go up from there… Most would take that.

I expect Furphy to go second half of the first round or first half of the second round unless something magical happens at the combine / tryouts.

Wow - no transfers out! Other than Philon de-committing… what a difference from last year…

@wissox said in Generic soccer thread: @rockchalkjayhawk I watched the shortened version on youtube. That was great! Cracked me up. and great game!

@jayballer67 https://mythresults.com/episode61 I think it may have more to do with the twisting of the tree/board opening voids that the straw gets stuck in. Out of town storm chasers piss me off. They park in the middle of the gd road, blocking traffic during limited visibility. Dumbasses. Get off on the destruction and leave without a care for the people affected.

Really BIG commit in Portal player transferring in from Michigan . 6’3 /6’4 - O Tackle, might be turned into Guard or Center, Amir Herring red shirted last Season 4 Seasons of eligibility left. - -OH YA FYI - -another example of Coach L & Staff - -they can’t recruit lol. - - -Keeps the Detroit pipeline still open- - right there with Isiah - -ROCK CHALK

Portal over 2k entries. Portal Window is closed. Should see a few trickle in here and there. The only guys left will be those withdrawing from the NBA draft by end of month. KU is still pursuing Jaxon Robinson & Jordan Ivy-Curry currently. Small committed to West Virginia so he wasn’t interested in winning. Still think we’ll push hard for a wing until they know on Kugel. The 13th spot could go to someone developmental or just a practice body.

I think for maybe a little bit different reasons than NIL and portal that college football suffered a major crisis last season when EVERY bowl was impacted besides the playoff. Screw the fans. Screw your teammates. Screw your coach. Finish your regular season and quit. Bowl games a major snoozefest for the most part. Will be interesting to see if some kids will quit even if their team makes the playoff. It’s possible because there will be some 12th ranked team that is the last team in and will think they have no chance to beat OSU/Mich or KU (!!) and quit because their NFL career is calling.

@kuballin10 Yeah I’m excited about Wiley too. Boom or bust I suppose, but a 4th rounder is not much of a gamble.

Pick up a commit tonight. - -RB out of Texas , not ranked right now but he will be. - - john Kelly , picked Ku over 18 other offfers - - Arizona - -Duke - - -Texas Tech - - -Missouri , will be decent player for us

@BShark Zeke is a mature dude on and off the court. He should push for pg1……

@jayballer67 said in 2025 Recruiting: So got a question , what ever happened with Peterson ? - -All the talk about Acuff , So did Peterson cool on KU OR did KU cool on Peterson ? His recruiting is basically reopened Considering something’s happened around him

Former student of mine Brandon Haskin on the Houston team.

@Texas-Hawk-10 thx, so excited for them! They gave us a fun couple of yrs.

They just talked about him today. Booker

@Gorilla72 Woops. Meant only we may field a second unit that may be really talented, not another big to play along Hunter

@BShark said in 2024 Recruiting: @BeddieKU23 Two year plan but yes we will see. Gladly take 2 yrs with no worries

I was off on the year the Big 12/Big East challenge is ending. This upcoming season is the final season of it as match ups were announced and KU is traveling to Omaha to play at Creighton which should be a monster game as Creighton is expected to be a top 15, maybe top 10, team next season.
