    You’re good. His HS tweeted it out. https://twitter.com/murphypanthers/status/1339257477859307521?s=21

    It could be a blueshirt where he’s not on scholarship until August, but he’s a Jayhawk.

    Cool greatly appreciated

    KU has now announced Scott. I think Grays is close to a lock, there was just some bureaucracy that meant he couldn’t sign early. I feel pretty confident Edwin White will announce he’s signed with KU tomorrow. And so will end the early period.

    So tell me , - - what do you think about the smoke from people that say KU is trying to get involved with the Washington 4 * QB that entered the Transfer Portal ? - -You think there is any fire to that or just a bunch of idle smoke ? - - He had a family member play at KU sometime back I guess , whatcha think ? - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

    They’ll reach out to any they think can play right away and have multiple years. I don’t know whether that interest is being reciprocated though. We may not have anyone until after spring ball.



  • New OL coach! Lee Grimes. Played at A&M, coached at Minnesota and most recently Charlotte. Deep connections in Texas. Fits the mold of Les’s hires so far. Comes from a big college program, and is young and hungry. We’ll see if it pays off. I at least think it’s an upgrade over Meadows (I know, low bar.)



  • Herman out, Sark in at Texas. That happened in a hurry.



  • Coach Chidera left for SMU. Look for an internal promotion.



  • KU has hired Jake Schoonover to be the new LB coach and Special Teams Coordinator. Schoonover spent the past 3 years in a similar role at Bowling Green and 7 years at Illinois St. before BG.



  • I like it on paper. Losing Chidera sucks but Wallace obviously wasn’t cutting it at ST. KC ties is a bonus.



  • Read where Rick Neuischel former Coach of Colorado pushing for the job at KU - reaching out to some Big KU Booasters



  • Lincoln Riley headed to USC. Legit shocker. I don’t get heading there instead of LSU but I’m glad he’s out of the league



  • @FarmerJayhawk which league?🤣



  • David Cutcliffe fired after 14 years at Duke.

    There’s a lot less pressure at USC right now than LSU. If the SEC keeps a 2 division format when OU and Texas join, LSU and OU wouldn’t likely even be in the division as Alabama. I would guess Alabama and Auburn would move to the SEC East and Missouri and would move to SEC West.

    I’m also wondering if Lincoln turning down LSU has anything to do with Jimbo Fisher’s potential interest in LSU. Another name I’m hearing as a potential option with Billy Napier off the table is Lane Kiffin.

    Less pressure for sure. I could see them kicking the MS schools to the East to build the West into an absolute monster.

    From what I saw Riley doesn’t want to coach in the SEC and was really peeved OU is moving. The Lane Train in Baton Rouge would be either amazing or total fecal festival and I’m here for either.

    Finally, thank mercy we’re not playing in the sandbox this year. No way we’d end up with as good a coach as Leipold.



  • HOWLING



  • So Ok , guessing maybe I’m more Naive then what I thought. I just don’t see why the move Anywhere. I mean he is already at a top notch program , awesome facilities, always top recruits , very winning program, probably gets anything he asks for - -don’t see a step up improvement for sure - -to USC? - -not a better program at the very best lateral move great fan base - -I just can’t see the advantage - -why? - - -I’m sure he makes a butt load of money from his Base Salary and then all the endorsements - -tell me how does USC be a better position then Oklahoma - the league he is moving to by far is no better - I 'll wait go ahead fill me in

    The path to a playoff at USC and the P12 is much easier than the SEC, even if the playoffs expand. In the new SEC, Alabama, Georgia, Oklahoma, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Texas, and Texas A&M are all teams that are or will consistently be threats to win the SEC. In the PAC 12, it’s usually Oregon or Utah that’s the biggest hurdle.

    Also, recruiting to USC with the right coach can land a top 5 class every season because SoCal is one of the 3 most fertile recruiting areas after Texas and Florida.



  • Will any OU recruits come to KU?

    Right both of you. It looks kind of soft, like he doesn’t want to get beat in the SEC. It is USC, but the same can be said about Oklahoma. With the recruiting in Cali though, he’s going to absolutely dominate the Pac12. Almost guaranteed to be playoff bound every year. It just smells like a soft move. Not even coaching his team in whatever bowl game!



  • @AsadZ

    Unlikely, OU had a good recruiting class and don’t think KU is contending for any of those guys



  • Riley to USC is a shocker. All that pumped up bologna to LSU. Florida gets Napier. No Idea what LSU is getting but they seem to have missed a good opportunity to have a coach here before ESD. Seems like no matter who they hire they have missed the ball if it doesn’t happen in the next few days. Coaches can go in-home and have big recruiting weekends before ESD now.

    As a FSU fan I’m hoping some dominos fall our way because of this…



  • Started here as well. Drake and Jackson are out. Replaced with Onatolu and Jordan Peterson



  • Lol hearing Oklahoma all in a stew , pretty much Riley packed up and got out in the middle of the night. Was at the Airport him and staff still dark this morning and leaving - -lmao .Like they said kinda Carma coming back and smacking Oklahoma right back in the gut.

    Before the common OU Joe when they bolted and saying they going to the SEC - -the OU fan saying HEY that’s the way it goes we gotta look out for ourselves, NOW it’s happened to Oklahoma. Sports program stating have no idea why Riley would leave for USC - -and how the PAC 12 is trash. - Now Oklahoma saying what we gonna do. - Rattler transferring - - lots of smoke about Williams transferring. They saying they never thought Riley would leave unless it was the NFL- - now I’m loving this - -called Karma what OU and Texas did to the Big 12 - -Now Riley did t Oklahoma



  • Just read off the Soones Board that Venables was to be named the New Head Coach at around 3:00 this afternoon. - Most seem happy but conern aout him being able to maintain all the offensive talent they have

    Also being reported that Lincoln contract for USC is to be 110 Million & USC is buying both his homes in Oklahoma -& Unlimited use of USC jet for the Riley family. - - now this is all rumor but thats what is coming out from local sports media

    Coming into this season, you could’ve added Washington to that list of Pac-12 contenders, but their program imploded after a series of on- and off-field missteps. Now they’re in the middle of their own coaching search. The Huskies are set for a rebuild that’ll take at least a couple of years. UW has the money to get a quality coach, just not USC or Nike/Oregon money.



  • now just saw coming off the bleacher report: - -Breaking News , Brett Venables has verbally agreed to become OU’S next head Coach.

    DJ Viagalelei and numerous players are expected to join him

    Venables thing might be true. Rest is not.



  • Wow. Brian Kelly to LSU



  • Poaching rn is unreal. Who’s next?



  • Fickell to the domers?

    I’d very surprised if Venables wants anything to do with OU after the way they ran him off for Mike Stoops a few years back.



  • Lincoln Riley is also affecting OU’s recruiting class as they their lost 5 star QB in the 2022 class. Spencer Rattler also announced he is transferring which was going to happen regardless of Lincoln Riley considering he was benched.

    Their 22 and 23 classes are decimated. Now they’d leaning on old Big Game Bob to salvage what he can.

    Saw $15m/year for Kelly at LSU. Just stuuuupid money

    that would be great if he didn’t. I’m more then satisified to see whatever happens with them - -don’t feel any sadness towards that program what so ever



  • This post is deleted!


  • Venables to OU is a homerun, all things considered. Oh well, to the SEC they soon go. Major coaching moves. Riley was a surprise, but Kelly even more.

  • It’s going to be hard to top this years Carousel that’s for sure. The money being thrown around to these coaches is going to create a point of no return. Tucker started it and its just continuing to balloon

    Has Venables been hired as the OU coach? All that I’ve heard is Stoops as interim. Cincinnati had better step up to the plate, or they’re going to lose their coach. Can they compete moneywise with Notre Dame? Not a chance. But they can make it easier for him to stay. He’s built a program, and going to the Big12 can only help in recruiting.

    Do you blame the fans? Lol. Not a good look for Riley imo, not even coaching his team in whatever bowl game and even taking Grinch and looting their recruits. I’d be extremely pissed if were an OU alum and or bigtime OU fan.

    When Roy left the program he did it with class. He didn’t poach the players that he had recruited to play at KU.

  • sorry i know this isn’t Coach but more about transfer portal K/State has lost another -they now have lost two out of their top three running backs. - Ervin yesterday & Wright today - Just Vaughn remaining out of the top three on depth chart

    Also Oklahoma has now lost YET another player. Starting TE Austin Slogner - -and it just keeps getting better



  • Riley met with his team sun. I think Kelly sent a text. Probably should dble check facts.
