Kenny Logan is staying. Hearing Leipold has won over a lot of guys on the fence. Thinking Harris is staying. Not sure on Prunty quite yet, but there’s some chatter he’s impressed with Leipold.

I’m definitely not panicking. Still one big transfer window left when guys withdraw from the draft.

@mayjay oh yeah, they deserve it for sure. It’s like taking off your shoes at someone’s house who really loves cleanliness. Like, just do it. Be polite and not a performative a-hole. It’s really not that big a deal.

@mayjay said in Vaccine:

Soon you both will be able to go outside without masks. Of course, 99% of Americans have done so all along when not in crowds, but now you don’t have to worry about pissing off some rabid antimasker or some proselytizing masker!

Ohhh man. I still get “eat shit and die” looks from people when going outside without one. There are definitely folks out there who treat it as more performative than anything. At some point I’m going to stop my run, whip out my card, and yell “I CANT GIVE YOU COVID IM VACCINATED AND WERE VERY FAR APART RIGHT NOW”

The anti-mask people are just as annoying, but this is my experience in a very wealthy, very covid-cautious place.

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Lance Leipold meets with Jayhawks shortly after arriving in Lawrence:

This was always the risk of bringing in a new coach this time of year versus keeping Emmett Jones on an interim basis for 2021.

Which would’ve just delayed it a year.

Yep. That blows. He was going to get tons of snaps at DT.

Where does KU stand with Hickman?

I believe the Zags are the ones to beat. Apparently he was super homesick being away from Washington so he’ll probably end up back in the PNW

TyTy to announce May 12. That will get the dominoes going

Now the 15th. Oof.

Staff is done. https://twitter.com/PeteThamel/status/1389327323586088960?s=20

Jones, Drake, Jackson retained, everyone else is gone.

As is DeBord and Coach Ben. I suspect they won’t be the last.

Presser was solid. He’s not particularly charismatic and won’t wow a crowd, but very straightforward, no-nonsense, and just loves football.

well just getting to learn DeBord’s offense - - NOW we start on square 1 - - - AGAIN - -SUPER

Like Coach Leipold said today, no one year stopgaps. Gonna start building the program from the ground up.

@benshawks08 one sick dude!

Literally. He has serious mental health issues and hasn’t been taking his meds. His condition has sadly been deteriorating for some time.

Elliot is out

@Jhawk69 said in Coach Leipold:

Does anyone have any leads on who the coordinators/assistant coaches will be?

Feel pretty strongly at least Liepold’s DC is coming. And Jones stays for sure. Beyond that I’m not super sure. I really want Leipold’s OL Coach. Very smart guy.

he would be nice for sure but also have heard the current Ol Grimes is pretty dam good himself

Grimes is out, Drake is staying according to a player’s family. More will trickle out soon.

@jayballer67 said in Spring Game:

just curious of course didn’t finish the 4th quarter but just curious. I thought Neal was on campus early , if he was why didn’t we see any time? Same with Easters and Hawley did they see a snap ? - -if not WHY Not ?

Neal is playing baseball at Lawrence High this spring. Hawley and Easters got the last two snaps.

Holy god Kendrick that was atrocious. Off the back foot over the middle wooooooof

Much cleaner in Q3. Can tell Leipold wants to go down there and rip some arse

@FarmerJayhawk I don’t like seeing that period because stuff like that means bad habits are creeping in and this team can’t afford that. Bad habits like that become mental blocks for players too frequently.

I don’t like it either but I’m not going to read much into it.

There’s just too many plays with bad fundamentals from the offense tonight that I’ve seen that doesn’t make me believe the offense is going to be much better than last year.

Yeah, they won’t be very good. Still way too much youth.

WOW WE COMPLETED A PASS TO A WR!!

Glad they’re getting a ton of punting practice.

So glad Leipold is a run first coach

Won’t matter if the backs can’t hold onto the football.

I fully expected the defense to look better than the offense simply because of year 3 in a system vs. year 1 for the offense. The issues with the offense aren’t schematic, it’s basic fundamentals like holding onto the damn football, the QB making the right reads, going through progressions. None of those things have anything to do with DeBorg’s offense being new, these are basic things players begin learning in middle school that they still struggle with.

They’ll be fine. Wasn’t an issue last year with the same backs.

Daniels still has really happy feet.

APH has looked really good.

Since there is no search, new thread!

It’s Bates!!

(Kidding. G League)

@jayballer67 agreed. This year could be rough. Lots of new things happening, big transition. But it wouldn’t surprise me at all to see 4-5 wins in 2022 and bowling every year after.

Get your checkbooks out folks

@jayballer67 said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

My question now is Farmer. All we had been hearing lately was it was pretty much a done deal and it was going to be Monken , Soo did Monken end up turning us down? After all this Was Leipold our 1st or 2nd choice and become # 1 after Monken turned it down.

I asked two very connected people on this earlier and got polar opposite answers. One swore Leipold led wire to wire and the other said the Monken deal fell apart after some question he couldn’t bring along his preferred OC. So we’ll probably never know. Either way,

WE HIRED LANCE F******* LEIPOLD BUCKETEERS LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOO

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

@FarmerJayhawk are we keeping Jones?

I really believe so. Buffalo’s WR coach was here under Weis and it was less than stellar

GUYS IM SO HAPPY

ITS LEIPOLD

@jayballer67 said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

OMG - - this Coaching search has turned into one huge Cluster F - - - . KU fans wondering why KU Goff and others are dragging their feet making the announcement - - - Army fans going nuts as to WHY Monken would want to come to this crap show. - Some Army fans saying they don’t blame Monken cause he as always wanted to Coach at a P-5 School , Some saying his legacy is being destroyed by coming to KU - it’s just insane

Patience. All in due time. Goff has his man.

Should be official within 24 hours. I think Monken brings his DC, goes external for OC, rest of the staff stays.

@bennie said in Coaching Search/AD Thread:

some program should probably pick off Jones for his recruiting ability. he’s not going to advance at kansas

Likely getting a promotion when presumably Monken is official.

Pretty sure it’s Monken. We’ll found out very shortly.

Definitely in “many people are saying” territory now but Monken might get it. I haven’t been able to get anything solid for a day or so, which means this plane is about to land.

DAMMIT

I mean he’s my 1B to Leipold’s 1A. I wouldn’t be disappointed at all.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Unfortunately, money is always the driving factor. I was remembering Duke from a couple of years ago with their first round nfl QB. How does KU get this program turned around? It’s possible; Iowa State and Coastal Carolina have done it.

Well on the way. It’s as talented a roster as we’ve had in a decade. Hire Leipold once (presumably) Goff is on the job. Prosper.

yeah i dont know. finishing at bottom of recruiting rankings does not really bode well. the rankings i care about look at average player rating. if you rank by the number of stars KU is always near the bottom. yes they can and will improve. i dont doubt. but i dont know about becoming a winning program consistently.

Leipold record and conference division finish (recruiting ranking in MAC):

• 2015: 5-7, 4th in division (first class)
• 2016: 2-10, 6th (9th)
• 2017: 6-6, 4th (9th)
• 2018: 10-4, 1st (12th)
• 2019: 8-5, 3rd (7th)
• 2020: 6-1, 1st (12th)

Leipold’s teams consistently over perform their talent. There’s a lot of promising young players on the roster now who Leipold and his staff could really mold and develop into a winning program with time.

It’s also on ESPN+ for us expats

@Kcmatt7 said in 2021 Transfer Talk/List:

@FarmerJayhawk Why wouldn’t you take?

I think he ends up a Cyclone anyways, but just curious.

I’d wait on Ochai and Tyty. Other guys will go into the portal once draft feedback comes as well. Think we can do better.

Um…

Not a take right now IMO. And no, Cisse is double bagging it

Ayyyyy https://twitter.com/jeffborzello/status/1386822872405008386?s=21

And she’s a LA native. Headed home.

Forgot to report back! Got Moderna #2 last Friday. Saturday felt like I got hit by a bus. Woke up in the middle of the night with chills, was pretty achy and ran a 101 fever Saturday. But! Was totally fine and resumed my regular running schedule Sunday.

Held is a good coach. Just not a fit for what we need right now. Would be up my list for OC though.
