My youngest is 5, and has just recently become sufferable. Good luck.
-
Lance is feeling spicy

-
@approxinfinity if he’s anything like me, 12 year old KC Matt will be very face punch able unfortunately
-
@Kcmatt7 lol, time for paybacks!

That will last about 6 more years, then you have to wait until they are about 26 for some sanity to return to your lives. Enjoy the sweet times!

The A&M center to KU is gaining steam

Someone has to “retire” for it to work out. Very interesting.

One that would make a ton of sense is Easters. I assume he’s really close to graduating and would be a prime contender for a GA spot.

The boiler works but we don’t have the engine cranked quite yet

We got our punter. STRONG leg- -they said if you were to put his stats in the Big 12 this past yr he would of ranked 2nd in net.-- Several 50 plus , very efficient
-
@FarmerJayhawk ermmm i want a steam analogy update here. We need apples to apples.
-
@SlimShaddy54 I hope we don’t need a punter

Ya, it seems like a clear upgrade over Greaves. Slightly confused if he has 1 or 3 years of eligibility. People are saying one year but he’s listed as a true sophomore so… ?
That takes us to 82 scholarship players total. 40 offense, 40 defense, and 2 special teams.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Ya I’m not sure, all I have seen was Swain’s Article and he said one year, I really don’t know bud-- sounds like a nice get though
-
I read something saying it is one year because he spent a couple of years at a college in Australia

The engine has taken us almost to the top of the mountain but we’re running out of coal (NIL $).
-
@FarmerJayhawk nice! I cant believe I have been excited about KU football for 3 years in a row.
-
Is there any crossover in NIL between bball and football? Like a common pool? Showing my ignorance here. does the same agency handle all of KU NIL?
-
@approxinfinity yes and no. Mass Street Collective is the “official” agency that handles it all. Donors can select which sport their donations support when they donate. Buuuut all that is going under the roof of KUAD this summer when revenue sharing becomes a real thing. Businesses can also reach out to athletes directly, but that’s less common.
-
One thing KU has going for it is that I believe we have a very good reputation for paying whatever NIL money we say we will pay. Where other schools… well, not so much.

A very fun, but very stressful time to be working in KUAD right now I imagine.

Lance is STILL cooking, we got that commit- - -Hunter Higgins , top De in the state of Kansas— -we have a bright future, they are really building a strong core
-
@FarmerJayhawk No need to worry about money. They will come to Lawrence for the city, the camaraderie and love of the game.
Oh, I crack myself up
-
Im ready for football season.
-
@approxinfinity Me toooo. -Go teem go- - Rah , Rah , Rah, Sisk Boom Bah - -lol.- -No Seriously I really am. Coach and staff really building something nice for the future.
-

The way the portal and recruiting works, it’s pretty much always football season.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich I feel like he means when they’re actually playing and can pull off amazing feats like being the only team in the history of college football to be unranked and beat three Top 25 teams in consecutive weeks, but not be good enough to go to even a crappy bowl game.
@approxinfinity , please correct me if I’m out of line.
-
@nuleafjhawk lol! Nailed it!
-
Lance is running a border line shit show and everyone here is ready to give him a raise and pronounce him a saint for sticking around. Meanwhile a coach that has won at the highest level for 2 decades and won a national championship 3 years ago while his recruiting pipeline was impeded by the NCAA is the one folks want to run off? KU fans are so damn entitled it’s disgusting.
-
I don’t know if I can agree that Lance is running a borderline shit show. Even with last season not going how we expected he is still way ahead of schedule. But yes, KU fans are comically entitled when it comes to basketball.
-
Sure we are entitled. Its easier than muddling through mediocrity in silence when your GOAT coach seems to be losing the midas touch.
-
Since winning the title in 2022 we have had:
2023: a season where we won the Big 12 and earned a one seed but got bounced early
2024: our worst season under Bill Self but we lost our best player due to injury and were still ranked all season and never in danger of missing the tournament
2025: mostly TBD but right now looks like a borderline top-10 team that is a long shot to win the title
That is nowhere near bad enough to panic. If you don’t believe me look at the history of every other program in college basketball. If we have a couple more below-average seasons or ever miss the tournament then there might be cause for concern.

Also,in 2023 something else pretty serious happened right before the tournament.

@Jhawk69 Far from a shit show, if people can’t see the overall turnaround this program has made the I don’t know what to tell them other then they are just lost.- -He is killing it in the 2026 recruiting and the transfers he has coming in-- -Come on.
Before Lance got here we were so far down in that bottomless pit, nobody knew what the meaning of light was unless they looked it up in Websters.-- If anyone can stand here and look me in the face that five years ago and back w would be getting kids the caliber from Schools such as Alabama - - -Auburn – Florida St- - S Carolina and say different I would call BS.
Before Lance came in those types of kids if we tried to recruit them --they would hardly acknowledge us little lone commit to us. Now we are in recruiting wars with some of the Big time Schools for some of these kids and actually getting those commit – No where close to a shit show, you want a shit show go talk to Weis.
Lance got us to back to back bowls and how long had that been before Lance- -What was our roster count BEFORE Lance showed - low enough one year we couldn’t even have a spring game
These kids before didn’t want to come to play for some crappy low football program and be part of a laughing stock of College football.- -Now they see commitment from the staff, look what’s getting done Weight room huge upgrade- - New stadium instead of what the hell ever that thing was- -we are starting to be able to get into the Kansas recruits win them over, where before wasn’t even going to the Schools to try and recruit high quality players- - ya we had a bad Season but wasn’t because of a shit show, it was where the defense couldn’t maintain leads for one thing- -I’m telling you this defense is on the verge of being nasty from the efforts and results Lance is getting – -I’m ready for football, good to see a competitive team again, be able to go watch College football in Larwrence again instead of a circus where the Captains use to say OK name your score at how bad we were getting our ass kicked on a weekly basis- - Lance is doing just fine
-
2026 class is already good and it has a chance to be special. This will be an important weekend.
-
I’d rather watch the football at this point and see what crazy play or rule kills in the last two minutes of a game. I’ll take that over the Lazies which my new nickname for the basketball team. They don’t seem to want play and put forth minimal effort. If we don’t spank KSU tomorrow I’m done with these over compensated losers.
-
@KirkIsMyHinrich Huge weekend. Just watched pod cast of ranking of 2026 Kansas players- -just came out with up dated rankings. So far Ku has verbals from # ( 1 0 player J J Dunnigan – - The # ( 4 ) player Hunter Higgins- - & the # ( 9 ) player Jayden Mason
Huge , Huge weekend on this Jr day – the other scouting service has Premer as the # 1 ) player and Dunnigan 2nd - -But he is coming and he is going to be with our three in state commits Higgins-- -Dunnigan – & Mason - -rumor has it we have a GREAT shot at this kid , Synder coming in- -Several big time recruits coming in
The talk has been for some time that we are on the verge of a top 25 class for 26 and been said people saying this is the year that KU has been mentioned for just cleaning up with a great class- can’t wait.- -Thing is long time till December of 2025 going to have to hang on to guys once committed but looks great.- – K ? State absolutely thinks they still can flip Dunnigan I don’t think so
