@FarmerJayhawk said in KBOR System Enrollment: @jayballer67 university CFO Thank you

I think this is great news and he is quickly becoming one of our best Athletic Directors

just saw by Swain-- Huntr announced- – He is BAACCCCCCCCCK- —ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@AsadZ backs and receivers are all terrific. Both high end talent and depth. Biggest question is DE. They did not look good at all last night. Think we need 2 from the portal

@drgnslayr I doubt he’s in college next year. There was some talk about him reclassifying but then they came out and said it would be a redshirt year 1 since he’s too young to enter the 2025 draft. Theoretically that could change if they decide to at semester or something but this is trending toward a normal recruitment.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Leipold New Contract: @jayballer67 all I know is suite demand has been strong, so that means we could get a fancier east side than originally thought or maybe they just stick with a more basic setup but add seats. Idk. That’s fine buddy I understand and appreciate what you do know.-- -I don’t care a fancier East side would be pretty cool to, but then again wouldn’t mind more seating either

I don’t miss Hudy. She added too much bulk and the players lost explosion. The current players are the issue, not the trainers.

@approxinfinity said in Land Thieves Shooty Hoops: Wild take: Juan is the focus of the offense next year and on Wooden Watch! I will laugh so hard when he averages 19 and 7 a game. lol. I think @BShark is right about the slow release. He tried to shoot vs UCF and got swatted. I also find it contradictory that @kuballin10 says he doesn’t create for others but follows it up with an example of him moving the ball to get someone else an open shot, describes him completing a difficult post entry pass for an easy bucket, and then explains how he creates for others in the pick and roll. Those are all creating for others AND show an attacking mentality. I didn’t watch all of the OSU game but do feel in the last few INCLUDING the loss to UCF Juan has been hunting his shot with a few floaters and drives trying to score. And like it or not, Juan is a gamer. He rises to the occasion when he’s most needed. He single handedly flipped the script in several games on the way to and including the National Championship so he will forever have my respect as a baller. Is he a perfect point guard? No. But no one is. This team has the tools to win 6 games in March and Juan is one of those tools. He’s not a swiss army knife, but he generally does what he’s needed to do pretty well. These Hawks also have the potential to lose in the first or second round. While this is always true, this year especially, this team has some vaulted ceilings. They can look really pretty but are really far from the floor and can be a struggle heat in cool in extreme weather.

@FarmerJayhawk - like $xxx,xxx?

Wow!

@Crimsonorblue22 close enough! Lol. Thank you!

A lot of fundraising left to do. Endowment stepped up big to make Phase I happen but that is not the plan for Phase II. Call me a skeptic on how Phase II pans out. Going to be heavily dependent on how the team performs. Not fair to the team and coaches, but it’s the truth.

@jayballer67 for sure. It wasn’t just Andy’s system. Zebrowski, Lubick, Lance, Andy, and Fuchs all had input around scheme and game planning. Not much will change for the bowl.

@Texas-Hawk-10 I don’t know, I’m not as smart as Lance and he was pretty pissed about it to, but the offsides. You don’t think I acknowledge them but I do, but the offside changed so much. It created a turnover when we would have had a first down. This team is still a work in progress and it’s great to argue about a KU football game because for a decade we didn’t give a hoot. Blaming games on one call is an interesting business. While I also acknowledge that anything could have happened to us had the refs called it offsides, in many games a last play of the game type call means you can blame refs for a call that would have changed the outcome of a game. Despite everything that happened before comes down to a ref making the right call on the last play. Thankfully they almost always do. But at times they miss it and an outcome is changed because of the call. Saints-Rams NFC championship game is a pretty good example, not perfect, but pretty clear, if the right call is made, the saints whittle the clock down to an easy chip shot FG to go to the super bowl. Missouri fans point to the TRob block/goaltend and that noncall meant we win, they call goaltend, we lose. Even though lots of stuff leads up to that point.

The easiest schedule ever belongs to Minnesota. Missouri is their only game against a power conference team. All home games except one neutral court site. Hilarious!

For one single night game, I don’t mind the black uniforms. And I love the way the circus font looks, so I’m not complaining. Overall a B for me.

@BShark said in SCRIMMAGE SZN: Early chatter on Terio is extremely positive. I’d bet he has the inside track to start. Think he’s our second best player by the end of the year. That’s my hot take. Buying all the on court stock I can on him and Elmarko.

@Kcmatt7 said in New Walk-On: The KU Walk-ons may be the best group of walk-ons in the country lol. Will be interesting to see what happens with the Topeka kid. Carter and Cross are definitely above regular walk on level. I’d wager these two are basically slotting in for the 12th/13th spots. Aldridge would require a full scholarship offer and I don’t think it will come fwiw.

@Jethro said in Welcome Parker Braun!: @benshawks08 said in Welcome Parker Braun!: @Jethro I agree he’s probably our best option right now but I don’t think he’s the same LOCK for minutes that Juan, KJ, and Hunter are that would deter a quality player from joining the team. Agreed. If they used Timberlake in the Remy role, it probably would be better in the long run. I am PRAYING they don’t recruit Caleb Love, though. Surely they can see he isn’t KU material. If we didn’t have Morris and still needed a starting caliber 2, I would go after Love because I think he’d be really good in a situation where he’s primarily playing off the ball. Since we have Morris, Jackson, Timberlake, Johnson, and McDowell, there’s no need another guy who can play the 2 spot so I doubt we’ll hear about KU having interest. A wing and a big are the needs remaining and should be/are the focus.
