@kuballin10 we have 3 really good wins, 2 of which are away from AFH. Our one loss was without a key player in Rylan. Not sure how folks are making such dire predictions when we’re 1/4 through the regular season and roles are still evolving. I’m looking forward to an ass beating tomorrow in the Border War.
@kjayhawks Bama vs SMU is definitely the toughest case. I guess it comes down to two different approaches. Do we think Bama is better than SMU? I tend to think so. But does SMU have a better case to get in? Also think yes. So depends how the committee weights these things.
@kuballin10 doubtful. As usual, your complaints have been registered. Bill can’t coach, can’t recruit, game has passed him by, etc. etc.
@kjayhawks I get that. You can only beat who’s on your schedule and Boise dang near pulled it off. I think they deserve a spot but they could be the 3 seed which seems insane.
I have no idea how they’ll treat the ACC. Do they treat SMU as a fraud or a good win for Clemson and give them a bye? Same question to the Big 12 and ASU. Tomorrow will be crazy
@kuballin10 NBA teams were salivating so hard over all these guys they told them to go back to school. Like I said, they’re really skilled and run good stuff but there aren’t many NBA athletes out there.
This g teams are both really skilled and well coached. Athletic? Meh. If these guys were really good athletes they wouldn’t still be old and in college.
What a championship Saturday. It’s really funny Boise and Arizona St will likely get byes
A truism. If you’re not paying for the product, the product is you.
@Kcmatt7 said in Grimes to Wisc?:
Do we know if Grimes had 100% autonomy in playcalling by seasons end?
I noticed a pretty dramatic shift in presnap activity from the first 4 games to the last 8.
A LOT of self scouting involved there

@SlimShaddy54 current Nevada OC, and was an analyst for us before that. Also just a certified badass, turning around a terrible offense while fighting leukemia. He 100% would’ve been the choice over Grimes had his health been better last year. https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5848382/2024/10/17/matt-lubick-nevada-leukemia/?source=user_shared_article
Oh ok ,I didn’t know. So have ou heard anything towards Grimes leaving for the Wisconsin job ?-- - If offered you think he takes that job ?- - This guy that you mentioned sounds like he would be a good replacement as long as he can keep us churning , has some inventive plays that would be cool
It’s as done as done can be short or the release going out. He’s in Madison already
@kjayhawks said in Offseason Roster Thread:
Will 2025 be the JD Redemption story? How are we looking at WR, is Doug Emilien returning? He is one of the best blocking WRs we have
Has to be. We’re going to upgrade at OC. I believe so. And we’ll need 2-3 WR and maybe a TE in the portal. Though Hanika is coming back and should surprise some people.

@kjayhawks just from the numbers I can see the appeal. We led the league in yards per play and were elite in the red zone.
Yea as much as we were in him early he really got it together.
Still wonder what went on behind closed doors and after the switch to the booth from the sidelines.
Confident we will be okay with out him but I get it.
Agree entirely. Kind of felt like he was just the vessel of everyone’s frustration for most of the year. Whether it’s Z or Lubick, I’m optimistic we can be as good.
Fun stat. Lubick improved Nevada’s yards/play from 128th to 61st in his first year. From 4.58 to 5.9. Go get him Lance
@SlimShaddy54 it’s a no brainer to me. Bring JD back. Receivers will want to play with him and the offense will be more similar to 2022-2023 whether it’s Zebrowski getting promoted or Lubick getting the job. If JD does leave (which as of right now seems unlikely) we’re going after a transfer anyway. Marshall just isn’t ready yet and McComb is a true frosh. Ballard clearly isn’t the answer

@kjayhawks said in Offseason Roster Thread:
@rockchalkjayhawk nothing wrong with him but why waste the time and NIL money when we had a guy that has been waiting in the wings for 2 years.
Since our HS class was so small, can we assume at least a dozen or so more transfers like the Iowa guy are coming in?
Probably 15-18 transfers
The SEC certainly looks like the best conference right now.
With Dilworth leaving take one RS Soph corner off the board
Thought it would be a good idea to start this up since the movement is already starting. Here’s the scholarship chart for spring 2025 as things stand today. It has the early enrollees (Holley, McComb, Cook, Curvey, Hayes) and the transfers (Kamara, Williams). Also assume everyone who can come back will. Kind of wild we have exactly one junior (Greaves).
Finally watching. Some thoughts!
Big picture, we have every piece to win a natty. You can see the bulb flickering for Rylan and AJ
Flory is a DUDE. Can’t wait to see how he develops the next year or two.
Juan is our MVP. He just makes play after play after play. If there’s action, he’s in the middle of it.
Zeke is a terrific guard. He does a lot of things well. Once his shot falls he might be our best player.
Hunt is just an anchor. We know what we have here. Limitations and all, but we’re better when we can feed him
This is a terrific passing team. Juan, Zeke, KJ, and Hunt are all really good passers. Look out once the shooters find their rhythm
You can see AJ and Rylan getting there. AJ had a couple deflections, Rylan was more aggressive. We should drop all the money to keep them another year.
Lol at the KU Twitter hive mind that said KJ can’t play. If they need someone trained in stats to talk hash tag # analytics lmk
@SlimShaddy54 oh yeah. Rumor is it’s an entire offensive staff shakeup
Not KU related but Linkon Cure is flipping from KSU to Oregon lolololol
@wissox that’s awful. Best wishes to you all. My grandpa has the opposite issue. He’s sharp as a tack but has advanced macular degeneration so he gets really frustrated when he can process information but he needs someone to read him something or a suite of magnification equipment to read himself.
@nuleafjhawk you’re the yin to my yang 
@nuleafjhawk he’s not ready yet. He’s talented but needs time. It’s pretty rare for a true freshman to come in and be effective.
@AsadZ said in Finally Some RESPECT: Jayhawks Favored At Baylor:
Unless I am mistaken, I think JD was healthy this entire season
Below the neck
Happy Thanksgiving! I was fortunate enough to have a couple days with my 87 year old grandma and 90 year old grandpa. Sure I spent like 4 hours in tech support but every minute with them is a blessing.
I haven’t done a state of the roster in a while. I’ll try to get one done before the portal opens so we can get the lay of the land in terms of portal needs. Also, the 15ish HS class was by design. Filling 30 senior spots with 25 high schoolers in this age would be a DISASTER
Also worth noting Borland only has a team option next season, no guaranteed money.
@Crimsonorblue22 absolutely absurd. Never seen anything like it. Take 5 minutes at the monitor to toss a guy for at most an flagrant 1
@PharmacyHawk yep! Out with friends and I try to stay off my phone
And now he’s complaining about the refs from his presser. What a clown.
Funny the second UConn plays a team with a pulse they get dragged
@kjayhawks gotta fire Eberflus. This group is way too talented to lose 5 in a row. He’s also on his second DC and third OC halfway through year 3. It’s just not working.
@kjayhawks Nubs South. If you’re a real elite program you never rush the court/field
