Loved Reader’s Digest, I would read it cover to cover when growing up.

There is the video of Self announcing 2 Chainz, if you wanted to see how it was going to originally be announced lol.
-
Bill looks so skinny in that video I really thought it was the young him for a quick second at the beginning. He looks like he lost a ton of weight
-
Welp think tomorrow I’ll sign up for my 7 day free trial of ESPN plus so I can watch late night. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer73 - you’re having waaaaay too much fun!
-
seems to be some confusion. Hearing Hampton not coming for late night- -then off LJW talk about the Coach’s visiting with him before he came to late night - Read off the Phog also about the Coach’s talking with him before he heads here so hmmm don’t know - -we shall see - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Hey what can I say lmao. - – ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Has anyone else checked the espn+ to see if it’s on there?
-
I typed in late night in the phog and found it that way. Duh!
-
I hope to watch it on the ESPN + app. I don’t know if it’s just me but I don’t get that excited for Late night because we still have a month before the exhibition games and longer it the season starts with Michigan State on Nov. 6.
-
Yeah, I’m gonna wait for the season. I should find some highlights out there.
-
I am very excited for late pm! I don’t really like watching the gals play- shame on me! I really like to see their personalities, the skits, dancing, who shows leadership qualities and of course the scrimmage. I like the intro’s and I love the coaches, they are extremely funny. I’m still on the fence about going. Today I found out I could leave earlier, I think it’s a sign.️
-
No offense to women, but watching them play basketball on a 10 foot goal is not entertaining. They need to lower it do 9, or maybe even 8.5 feet. At that point, I actually think the game could be a lot more fun.
-
@Kcmatt7 They should make the women’s court smaller, too. 8 foot baskets at 60 feet would make the game far more interesting, imo.
-
They already use a smaller ball than the men which makes it easier to score.
-
@JayHawkFanToo Right. So we might as well change a few more rules to make it more fun.
-
@JayHawkFanToo because they have smaller hands
-
I don’t know anything about 2 Chainz, but I still play the rap song from Late Night a couple of years ago on basketball game days. Everyone at my office knows it’s KU basketball game day because I play over and over the Game On song by Tech Nine and Krizz Kaliko. I use it as my haka before big games. Game On Jayhawks.
-
Tech N9ne is personally my favorite of the last 3 to perform. But he is definitely the least famous of the 3. His “Chopper” series is crazy cool, imo.

Ha. I’m in the exact same boat. Love Tech but 2Chainz is easily the biggest name here.

Getting 2 Chainz is comparable to Kentucky getting Drake all them years. It can’t hurt, I’m glad Self sees the benefit of “putting on a show” especially with a big name

…but the hoop itself is the same size as the men’s hoop; big advantage.
-
loved the short little video that self did , about 2 chainz being at late night. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@KUSTEVE How do ANY magazines or newspapers stay in business? Have people not heard of these computer/phone things?
-
Skits being practiced.
-
Scrimmage crazy plays being rehearsed
-
Students totally checked out mentally from anything academic.
-
Musicians practicing
-
Future opponents dreaming of the big upset to ruin our perfect season.

I believe fans have also checked out from so called life.
-
@BeddieKU23 Interestingly I really don’t care too much about late night! It was a cool event in 1986 when I attended my first, but it doesn’t mean that much now. I guess a month ago when I first posted this it seemed like a target to look forward to but now I’m really counting days til there’s real action!
-
I just can’t get enough KU Bball. Even when the Chiefs are doing what they’re doing, KU Bball is the top thing on my mind. AND WE AREN’T EVEN STARTED YET!!

Kansas hosts long list of high-level recruits
The biggest weekend across the country takes place in Lawrence. Late Night at the Phog is generally the focal point of Kansas’ recruiting calendar in the fall, and this year is no exception. Bill Self is welcoming a slew of top targets, starting with No. 1 senior James Wiseman.
Wiseman’s recruitment is viewed as a Memphis vs. Kentucky battle, but he and his family have insisted all along it’s not a two-team race and other schools are in the mix. Kansas is one of them, and Self will get his shot this weekend. Five-star guard Cassius Stanley (No. 25) cut his list to three schools last week, leaving UCLA, Kansas and Oregon vying for his services. USC was left off the list, to the surprise of some. There’s no clear leader of the three remaining schools, but UCLA quietly has some momentum.
Another key visitor and longtime target is in-state center Jeremiah Robinson-Earl (No. 38). Robinson-Earl grew up less than an hour from campus and his father played at Kansas for Roy Williams. He is now at IMG Academy (Florida) for his senior season, but Kansas is still in solid position. His recruitment is shaping up as a Kansas-North Carolina battle, and he visited Chapel Hill last weekend.
While those three are the ones to watch in Lawrence this weekend, there’s much more. Elite junior R.J. Hampton (No. 7 in 2020) will take his official visit after going to Memphis two weeks ago, and recent commit Christian Braun is also expected on campus. ESPN 100 forward Chandler Lawson (No. 58) and his younger brother, five-star sophomore Johnathan Lawson (No. 21 in 2021), will be at Late Night (their older brothers, Dedric and K.J. will suit up for the Jayhawks this season), and 2019 forward Anthony Walker and five-star junior N’Faly Dante (No. 13) are also taking visits. Kansas football coach David Beaty said earlier this week that rapper 2 Chainz is set to perform.
James Wiseman prediction: Memphis Confidence level: 55 percent Others in the mix: Kentucky, Kansas, Vanderbilt, Florida State
Cassius Stanley prediction: UCLA Confidence level: 40 percent Others in the mix: Kansas, Oregon
Jeremiah Robinson-Earl prediction: Kansas Confidence level: 60 percent Others in the mix: North Carolina, Arizona, Notre Dame, Villanova
-
@wissox I’ll care for you. And you can read the Street and Smith for me…lol.
-
@dylans from their confidence level they put out , looks like Cassius is still pretty wide open. Think we have a very legit shot if you believe in what they are putting out. Getting hyped up - - - -just got my ESPN plus ordered so I can watch it - - - -kick back eat my Lasagne drink my tea and sit here at my computer and take it in lol. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
Lots of yakking…let’s see the guys play…
-
Wait for it
-
@Crimsonorblue22 i don’t have much choice.
-
@KUSTEVE Same crap every year lol
-
@BShark We’re going to have to time this out better. Next year…tune in an hour and a half after it starts…
-
Ok…make it two hours after it starts…
-
Nope…3 hours…
-
I think it’s fun
-
Are you guys 90?
-
If the students and recruits like it, I’m good with the format!
-
I’m happy Cox didn’t stop at 9. I loved Selfs skit, alright,alright alright. I’m a fan
-
Bill has slimmed down a lot. I figured that was the inspiration for the Matthew McConaughey Lincoln spoof bit.
