Goes to show, KU typically plays a bunch of games against good comp.

@DCHawker I would imagine the team loses some unexpected games (seems to happen every year) but we are looking at what, 2 quality non-con opponents* IF we get Bama in that tournament? Definitely a lean schedule compared to previous seasons.

*not counting Kentucky until they show they are decent

Looks like Iwuchukwu could end up at USC after an official there. At least it wouldn’t be Baylor

They seem to be the favorite now. KU staff has been recruiting him pretty hard fwiw.

Seems like Alabama is the leader for Rylan Griffen

@Crimsonorblue22 said in First preseason game vs 49ers tonite:

How 'bout them Chiiiieeeefs! D finally stepped up! Mahomes was Mahomes, that 75 yd pass to Hill!

I’ve watched that pass about 10 times now.

Pray for FSU football.

Zuby is generally expected to play the 5, fwiw.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

@BShark

Really like Bona.

Same. As long as Self lands one of them, all is well.

Nick Smith is not leaving the south. If Kentucky has moved on like some think it will be Bama or Auburn.

KU does have a shot with Ernest Udeh JR. Will be a bag war.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Still wouldn’t count my chickens with Rice.

They definitely want a big to go with Zuby. Adem Bona and Ernes Udeh seem like the top targets. Iwuchukwu as well but he’s always seemed like a Baylor lean.

Jordan Walsh, SF hybrid forward type, Rylan Griffin SG also realistic targets. They have visits lined up

Think that’s really it for realistic

Looks like we could have a shot at Bona if he is a back-up plan for UK…

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

4 star PG Richard Isaacs committed to Texas Tech.

Recruitment with KU fell off a cliff. His ranking also dipped a bunch. Weird

Yeah I thought he would be big time but his development tapered off.

Chandler Jackson is one to really watch with KU. Mutual interest is there.

KU could have lost to an FCS school this week like…

Washington

Vanderbilt

UConn

Iowa State and Oklahoma State struggled with FCS comp as well, albeit stronger teams.

Georgia Tech with a rough loss to NIU and Illinois might lose to UTSA (!!!)

One thing is for sure, college football is back and I love it.

Is this where we make a stop the count joke since KU is the only Big 12 team that has played a game?

@BShark Pratt? Webb is a Buhler kid.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in South Dakota:

Webb kid is from the school my boys went to, watched him win state.

Was a KS kid that put South Dakota ahead earlier.

Ahhhhhh yes, classic.

Believers in shambles.

Hopefully we just see progress throughout the year.

So, KU will be winless again I see.

Yeah the defense can only hold up so long when the offense can’t stay on the field at all.

@stoptheflop said in South Dakota:

I can’t say Leipold looks like he knows what he’s doing.

He has a plan but I’m not sure KU has the players to execute it yet. His history indicates he likes running the ball a lot, but KU’s oline leaves much to be desired.

@Texas-Hawk-10 did he break his arm? I only caught a bit of it.

Aidan Shaw committing on the 17th. Would be shocked if it isn’t Missouri.

They don’t wanna lose the all-time wins record. HA.

@Woodrow I think a lot of schools backed off assuming he would go pro. He mentioned in an article awhile back that some schools weren’t even talking to him anymore.

Pain

Don’t care what the rankings say, Gradey looks a fair bit better than MJ Rice.

Matas Buzelis visiting today. Believe he is at Brewster @BeddieKU23

@mayjay It really is a shame that there were bad apples doing things like that.

@Kcmatt7 Yeah anywhere that can be doing things remotely should be.

@Kcmatt7 said in Struggling today.:

@BShark It is highly likely at this point I think… And yea the winter is going to be brutal. I’m expecting lockdowns again. But the funny thing to me is all these work places are having people come back as if they aren’t going to be sending everyone right back home in 2-3 months.

It’s a tough situation. Many people have to work or they won’t be able to eat then you have the situation where the supreme court overturned the eviction moratorium.

@approxinfinity said in Struggling today.:

Personally feeling a little better. This positivity rate though. Going to be a rough winter for all.

At this point I am just assuming I will get the delta variant. Hopefully my body/the vax fights it off.

Seems like Bill really wants a third wing.

Looks like his game starts around the 2 hour mark.

@BeddieKU23 Seems quite likely now.

Yohan Traore going all the way up to 4th!! overall in the next Rivals update. Well that was a nice dream that he would end up at KU when Bill offered him as a 3*/NR.

@Marco He is for sure a project and I believe his family understands this.

Looks like this will be a huge class. Biggest priority should be adding a guy to play the 5 spot but you take talent where you can get it. I think 35 is probably too high but he has some decent tools.

The day after he decommitted and the first offer after that. Also he is at Prolific Prep now

I think crims just doesn’t like Brady for some reason. Dunno.

Case has already landed some players. He will do just fine, I agree.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Brady Morningstar:

@BShark he had another coaching job, dork!

This is a step up was my point.

Had been waiting on that to drop.

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Brady Morningstar:

@BShark not a fan. I thought he was coaching. With sherron in town he better stay out of trouble.

He is coaching. Looking to further his career, working under Bill will help.

To be named video coordinator. This has been in the works for awhile. I made a thread (https://kubuckets.com/topic/10902/brady-morningstar) and deleted it awhile back because of other insinuations that could be drawn.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

If a Top 50 kid is getting over a million for 2 years to go pro its hard to imagine the NIL ever competing with that. Imagine the price for the cream of the crop kids. Dillon Mitchell, #28 was just offered 2 million for 2 years.

Kinda hard to see this league making money tbh.

Well, he is a pro right now. He signed a pro contract.

@BeddieKU23 said in 2022 Recruiting Thread:

Looks like Bryce Griggs is going pro as well, high 4 star PG that KU was recruiting.

Not too surprised there, looked like KU and others had moved on.
