RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Lots of talking heads picking the Ravens to beat the Chiefs in the opener. Mahomes is 4-1 against Lamar with the one being due to a perfectly thrown ball being dropped by Toney (smdh) and intercepted. Not sure Iād put any money on Baltimore.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Chiefs play on everyday except Tuesday next season.
- Regular Sunday game. Monday night. The Christmas game on Wednesday. The Black Friday game. And the Saturday game before Christmas.

@jayballer67 One more championship than Arkansas has had in that time period. They should be excited.

RE: 2024 Portal Madness Thread
@jayballer67 What did Arkansas have before he arrived? Why shouldnāt they be excited about the upgrade? Change is exciting and full of possibilities. I have a hard time wanting to bash a fanbase that hasnāt had success since the early 90s for being excited about the top available coach coming there.
Cal can recruit. If he gets good assistant coaches (that can coach) they will do well. Only entitled fans like Kentucky, Duke, KU etc expect a title every year or bust. Some fan bases can enjoy winning the conference or even just having regular season success after such a long drought.

Not an SEC fan, but thank goodness for the invite to the big2 if thatās what happens. The new Big12 doesnāt do much for me.

RE: New Jayhawk incoming
@bskeet No personal experience. But my roommate was an mechie from KU that has worked on the mars rover. - the only wildly fun experience I was brought in on (not the super fast elevator or flying in the wind tunnel while slightly inebriated lol) was the little (go kart size) formula style race car they build amd race at nationals. That was a blast. 120mph 3ā above the pavement. 80mph donuts. Yeehaw!

RE: You know it's a big day
Furphyās legacy at KU in the second halves - NCAA tournamnet - 2/5 shooting against Samford and 0-7 against Gonzaga. Big 12 tournament - 0-5 against Cincinnati Reg season - 1-4 Houston, KSU 1-1, Baylor 0-3, BYU 1-7, Texas 2-2! (But 4 turnovers), OU 2-4
Forgive me if these stats arenāt 100% I just scanned the game logs on ESPN. I think KU will be better off without freshman Furphy, especially second half Furphy. I do believe he couldāve been a great player in another couple years. But as a freshmen he couldnāt carry himself in the second half, much less the team.

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
@kuballin10 If you have a chance re-watch some KU tournament games with an open mind and in the rare occasion zone is used itās mostly the 2/3 and once I believe the box-1 thrown was out there. Donāt remember any this year though.

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@kuballin10 whoās your horse? Worthy vs the field? Iād take the field too if I lived misery, but thatās just an odds play.
Iām betting on Worthy to ball out as he has the skill set to do well in this offense. Mecole Hardman had 800 yard recording in college and was a converted DB. Worthy had 2500 and was a true #1 receiver. Not a good comp.
Whiffing on DK was due to Hill drama and needing a speedy replacement - panic move and a bad one. No need to panic this go around.

RE: Tornados
@nuleafjhawk I always enjoyed watching people freak out in Lawrence over 40mph wind, in all honesty itās funny as hell as thatās a nearly weekly occurrence here during the spring.
Seen many a tornado. The odds of one actually hitting your house is so infinitely small itās not really a concern -plus I have a basement and good insurance. If there is a tornado in all likelihood all I will experience is hail, wind, and rain.
Usually in a nasty storm itās better to go outside and see whatās coming than hunker down all scared in the basement. But I live in an area with zero hills and very few trees that werenāt planted. If you can see them they really arenāt that scary, just be prepared.
During the most recent local tornado I was out in a few wheat fields working. I lost the pictures or Iād post there here, was an impressive cone.

RE: Transfer Rumblings
@kuballin10 The funny thing is Bill Self himself has said he recruits guys who can shoot/score and worries about the defense once they get on campus. Not sure what your argument is, unfortunately you can only work with the guys who show up. Recruiting isnāt like shopping, itās a two way street, Bill doesnāt just point and get what he wants.
-
RE: Tornados
I mean whatās a spring without 80-100 mph wind? Happens a couple times a year in western Kansas. Removes the weak structures and dead branches from trees. Ugg - know someone whoās houses (x2) got completley leveled by tornados on back to back nights. First one was in Greenburg, the second was their farm house south of town. Always thought that put it in perspective.
The coolest thing I can remember associated with a tornado was over our farm there was volleyball size hail. It went thru roofs of vehicles and trailer houses. Dadās pickup had a hail stone hit the windshield so hard it pushed a phone book into the dash. The fields around there looked like the surface of the moon with up to 10ā craters from the hail - when running a tractor across it with sweeps the compaction from the hail was enough to make the implement sway back and forth.
That said I would love some rain even if it comes with tornados and hail. This drought is getting bleak. And I need a new roof.

@BShark ā¦wait there is luck involved in a single elimination tournament with 68 participants? Nah. Matchups donāt matter, college players are dead consistent. I donāt know why they even bother playing the game the outcome is pre-determined, KenPom nails it every year due to the consistency across the sport.

@kuballin10 said in Transfer Rumblings:
@Texas-Hawk-10 Nah itās moreso for all the people acting like heās the goat. He will yet again have the best roster this year and we wonāt capitalize in March with a third title. Other coaches maximize top rosters but he seems to struggle with getting them to gel and be ready come tourney time.
Why do you hate watch KU? You do realize that Bill Self the coach you constantly denigrate is the only constant on the team year to year? Maybe pick a different team if you know they will just fail, it seems to make you miserable and you seem to like to share that misery. Perhaps UConn and Danny Hurley is the apple of your eye. Iām sure they need more fans!

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@AsadZ Iām excited to see Worthy in that offense. Kingsley was projected to the Chiefs in the first round in several mock drafts. Wiley learning from Kelce is very intriguing. Hicks was a second round talent and a potential replacement for Reid in a year. Low round picks are always a flier, but the cb has excellent traits and Veach has a good eye for that position. The center can play the entire iol. The G prospect is just a guard, but ol depth is weak so heās likely to make the team as well. It should be 6 of the 7 make the roster.
I could talk myself into an A or a C. In Veach I trust, itās an A!

RE: You know it's a big day
@approxinfinity Do you believe the 2013 roster wouldāve gone further in the tournament with Furphy than with Wiggins? I donāt think they make the tournament with Furphy instead of Wiggins.
I donāt get the Furphy love. He had potential, but did nothing for KU. He did not suck, he did carry himself well, but he did nothing for KU in the big picture. No individual accolades. No Big 12 title. No Big 12 tournament title. No NCAA success. So whatās the big deal? Heās completely forgettable. His time in Lawrence led to nothing - no increase in viewership, no increase in wins, no recruiting bump, no hype, no substance, no revenue bump, nothing. Heās just one of those players that left a year or two too early to make an impact.

RE: You know it's a big day
@approxinfinity I believe they won the conference and finished 10th with an incredibly weak roster led by freshmen. Furphy did nothing (nothing wrong, nothing memorable in a good way either) - Hunter and McCullar carried the team. Without Furphy KU won at a better clip than when he was inserted into the starting lineup over Elmarko. Thatās likely because McCullar went down, but where was the Aussie? Napping during the second halves.
Without Wiggins KU wouldnāt have won 20 games. That roster was weak. Without Embiid they lost early in the tournament. With a healthy Furphy a national championship winning point guard and the best big money could buy KU flamed out early this go. Furphyās biggest contribution to KU hoops was his down under white trash hair cut. āļø

RE: You know it's a big day
@approxinfinity except both Embiid and Wiggins carried that team. Furphy did nothing but disappear in big moments while completely healthy. He may become a great player, but he wasnāt one for KU in any capacity.
-
RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
@rockchalkjayhawk If DBs jam him and missā¦ TD. But it could also look a lot like Tyreek vs Sneed in the SB if he doesnāt add some muscle.

Aw, shucks.
He would have been great as a sophomore. What a pickup though in, what was it, July? Just amazing. Hope he does well in the league.
An incredible success story. I remember one basketball guy saying it was a reach for KU and Furphy was maybe a midmajor talent.
Iād contend KU wouldāve been better off without Furphy or any other one and done that doesnāt contribute to post season success. He never carried the team nor did he contribute to much on court success. Furphy is going to be the answer to an obscure trivia question down the road of KU lore. He had an unfortunately forgettable tenure. There is nothing he did wrong, he just didnāt stay long enough to make any impact.

@dylans I think he has better hands than Hill at this moment. I think this helps open up the middle for Rice and Kelce. Baring a huge suspension for Rice.
I havenāt really watched him play much, but from what Iāve been reading drops are an issue.
His sophomore year he had 7 drops, but he also had a broken hand. The other two years it didnāt seem to be an issue. Iād hate to watch another player drop balls like the WRs did last year!

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Worthy is not Tyreek. Tyreek was a converted RB. Tyreekās neck is thicker than Worthyās thigh. Iām hopeful he can be more of a DeShawn Jackson type. Worthy was super fast at the underwear Olympics 4.21 forty (set the record). But he also showed his speed in games. Not just a speed merchant he stacks the DBs well to gain leverage and tracks the ball very well. Time will tell, but usually when Veach trades up it goes well (this trade up was to get ahead of the 49ers who had reportedly targeted Worthy).

RE: 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft
Worthy. Hmm. Heās fast and can track the ball. Might work.
