And who his this player Farmer ? - -Portal ? - Position ?- - School ?
-
@FarmerJayhawk Is Lance leaving? It looks like Christ is getting HC opportunities.
-
@dylans no, would be TE/Run Game Coordinator. I don’t think he’ll get any head coaching jobs this cycle. Didn’t get IU or Oregon State, he doesn’t seem to be in the mix for Duke, Boise, Nevada, Houston, or JMU.
-
What do you think about Chryst @wissox? Should be up your alley.
-
I’d bet a hefty amount Neal plays in the bowl but declares after
-
@dylans It was getting hard to defend him. Embraced the smashmouth Wisconsin way but his recruiting fell off and KC area native Graham Mertz underwhelmed as QB all contributed to his demise.
I’m not really all that qualified to say what makes a great coach other than the how does his team perform. But I think he was pretty highly regarded as an offensive mind.

Dam goes to show you what I know lmao - -I thought you was talking about some Dam recruit roflmao
-
Notably, Mertz actually looked really good for Florida this year.

If he isn’t going to be OC then that changes a lot of the calculus for me. A title like what you mentioned would be a home run.

Yeah Z is the front runner to stay OC and I think they’ll bring in a proven guy for the TE spot. If it takes a RGC title fine, responsibilities won’t change all that much

Yeah. Sounds like we had a lot of cooks this year and the offensive schemes and such wasn’t all on AK so that’s good.
-
Washington comes from behind to top Oregon and logically lock into the CFP
-
A name to watch if we lose Mello or Cobee: Keenan Garber, corner at Silo Tech
-
I hope we don’t lose those 2! U mean to draft?
-
@Crimsonorblue22 at least in Cobee’s case, Bama is sniffing around

BOO. Stay away Nicky.

I have never seen so many high quality players especially WBs in the portal, crazy stuff. Will KU grab any QB.

Don’t think there is a need for QB right now. - -We got JD-6 next year – - we got Iiaish Marshall coming in - -kid a stud and early enrollee then we have umm McCombs the following year. – Next yr Marshall have a year to learn - I think were fine for the moment at QB

Numbers are also crazy tight. With Huggins leaving we’re right at 85. One in, one out.
-
Think we need DT depth and a good LB or two.

That’s refreshing.

How is KU fixed at center next year?

@Gorilla72 said in Football Musings:

Mike Ford is the front runner. Dirk was an absolute warrior. He hasn’t been healthy.
-
@FarmerJayhawk - Dirk? I don’t see a “Dirk” on the roster.
-
@Gorilla72 he’s talking about Mike our center who’s nickname is Dirk like the ole NBA player
-
@FarmerJayhawk @kjayhawks - Thanks! He was quite impressive! Worth singling out his activity. Wonder if he’ll make it to the NFL. Or, a great line coach for KU?
-
@Gorilla72 I think him and Puni have a good shot with Bean of making a roster. Puni probably gets drafted in the 3 day, Neal as well if he goes. Bean has speed that you can teach and looking at guys like Jackson for Baltimore, someone will take that project(not saying he’s as good as Jackson was at UL).
-
I’d have to watch more, but Cobbee looks like he has NFL potential.
-
Very thankful for our donors and NIL infrastructure.
-
The Chryst noise grows louder. But to be clear, would not be as OC

Bump. Post Washington scare, NIL fundraising for football has been very strong
-
Heard that suite demand is really good for the new stadium. That should result in phase 2 getting done quickly
-

They have $100M yet to raise and current phase 2 plans do not include suites. Very good sources

Ditto, the suite demand should help close that gap anyhow. And good to have you back bud!
-
There’s been significant turnover behind the scenes in the analyst room but hearing the guys they brought in are really good. I don’t remember the names offhand but ones from Nebraska and another from Indiana (he almost got the CB Coach job).
And maybe the most important guy you don’t know about is back. Matt Lubick will continue his role until he’s healthy. Would’ve been the OC pick had he been able to take it.
-
Offers in the portal going out like crazy. All to DE/LB types
-
Heard through the grapevine that Grimes isn’t as much of an option Coach, Farmer what you think ? - -Coach K could run that option had defenses really confused at times. - -Grimes not so much more dives and such-- yes ? - -no ?
Is Grimes going to keep this offense rolling Farmer, K was Dynamic type that could really put points on the board, K made some great play calls really diversified Is Grimes offense going to be able to move the ball/ score ?- love the wide open style of Coach K , are the playes going to be happy with Grimes play calling ?—what you think ?

No Big Uglies on the DL ? - -gonna be kind of touch and go as I heard pretty much like one in - one out. - -Pushing that 85 Max --hoping for depth some Big boys hold the fort on line of scrimmage on the DL–No big Uglies offered Farmer ?
-
@jayballer67 a lot of the option stuff was from Matt Lubick’s brain and he’s off to Reno as their OC. Grimes is a lot more pro style in outlook
We’re good at DT. Dunn, Whithers, Derritt, Caldwell, and Taylor is a decent group. The real need is pass rush
-
@FarmerJayhawk said in Football Musings:

Good. Huge area of need.
-
Several more already out today. TBD if we can get any of them but it won’t be from lack of trying
-
Early yet but feel good about Jaxon Howard, formerly DE at LSU

that’s good to hear. Hopefully land. - -25 commits have been kinda slow, one so far right McCombs. I realize we are butting up against max, and so far haven’t heard much on transfers out. Guess I shouldn’t be complaining about that, as that means these kids are really invested into Coach L and the way he is building this program back.
God I really like this guy , have I told you lately how much I like Coach L lol.- somebody did their home work on getting him here , so glad w didn’t waste anymore time on more not so good Coach’s—ROCK CHALK
-
@jayballer67 there was one transfer out today, nobody who was going to contribute so that’s ok I suppose. HS stuff will really pick up once school is out

YA, I realize not going to be a big class by any means like I said earlier going to be petty much like one in - - one out. but a few years back we wasn’t even close to max limit–now look. Got some depth- – got better talented players AND a way better Coach. Hell a few yrs back had to Canel spring game cause we had to many players hurt- -look just how far we have come in what three years with Coach L-- -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
-
@jayballer67 very true. The 25 class will be MASSIVE though. Like 30+ including transfers. Might be Lance’s most important class in his entire time at KU

Get’s me hyped buddy, for some football already lol. How long has it been when you had people looking forward to the Season. Actually thinking we can be very competitive in this instead of well how bad we getting drubbed today ? - -20- -30 point loss?- -Not anymore buddy- – NOT any more.-- ROCK CHALK

Suite demand is much better than expected. West side almost completely sold
