Ok so my eyeballs weren’t deceiving me despite my consistent imbibing of some of my favorite beverages. MacVittie had a better PFF grade than Kendrick, and it wasn’t close. The gap came almost entirely from MacVittie’s ability to run the football, which is better than Kendrick’s. If it were me, I’d roll with Tommy Mac and see what we have, because I really don’t know yet. I think we’re pretty sure on Kendrick. The arm just isn’t good enough. No zip and ball placement isn’t very good. Faster defenses will eat him alive.

Dam dude I’m so sorry for you - - - MacVittie hopefully neve see the field again this season - he is JUST NOT P-5 – plain and simple just ugly.

You don’t like Kendrcik – Great but Macvittie IS SURE THE HELL is not the answer. - going to be a long Season no matter, Roll Daniels - -not gonna lose any eligibility anyways this year- - sure the hell can’t be any worse. Chances are he is going to be our QB in upcoming seasons let him work his way through - -BUT NOT Macvittie

Daniels isn’t ready at all. With a shortened fall camp, I’d be surprised if he’s comfortable running anything but the pure basics. Dearmon has 50+ RPO’s he can call at any time.

I think MacVittie gives us the best chance to win this year barring Daniels really picking up the offense. Stronger arm, better runner, the size to throw from the pocket, so a much higher ceiling.

so basically your saying we have ZERO CHANCE of winning anything I gotcha now. - -MacVittie was around all last year , and Nothing, and in his brief outing THIS year look totally like crap. You and I both know this is a lost year with those two options at QB

Again daniels much better runner - like you say much better arm , nice size - let him learn with experience , what we lose at this point ? - -Another Loss ? - - - And ? MacVittie is NOT doing anything for us this year -Ok ya Probably loss with Daniels but he gains the experience yet just a better all around QB - he still has a future at KU MaVittie is his last year play for the future - sorry your not selling me with MacVittie - -Hell I’ll take Kendrick over MacVittie any day he is just flat no P-5 QB period - just difference of opinions and no one wil change either more then likely

He wasn’t healthy most of last year either. Had a few knee injuries. I thought he looked ok in a few snaps. He never was out there enough to get into any kind of rhythm (and neither was Dearmon tbh). To use a rough analogy, MacVittie looks like Jorge Soler like 2-3 years ago. You can tell he’s got most of the tools (power, big arm, etc.) but it just hasn’t come together yet. I’m willing to see if it does for MacVittie. He’s got the tools (big arm, can run) but it hasn’t clicked yet. It may never, but I’m willing to see if it does. Because I know it won’t for Kendrick. He’s like a light hitting infielder without the arm to play short. You kind of know what you have and he’s pretty limited. Shoot, he’s not even as athletic as MacVittie.

Daniels is like in AA, and if you bring him right from Springfield to St. Louis he’s really going to struggle, possibly to his permanent detriment. He may develop some bad habits or get his confidence wrecked for a team that’s not that good anyway. Since we had a limited fall camp, we need to bring him along slowly so he can grasp the offense. It doesn’t do him or the team any good to throw him out there with a limited grasp of the offense. Put your guys in a position to succeed, and Daniels just isn’t there yet.

possibly - -but again he is not going to get any confifdence standing on the side line when a team is going no where - he needs REPS , to grow. you can’t get the same kind of confidence in a practice as live game experience, he is already heaad and shoulders above Macvittie talent wise. He may be lost for awhile but hell MacVittie is lost too so what’s the difference. Macvittie looks so indecisive making the wrong reaads running when he should throw - - throw when he should run sorry your not convincing me MaVittie is the answer in any way shape or form.

While MacVittie was running the offense we put up 3 if that - - Kendrick put up 20 - and of Course Macvittie hurt - - in the game - -AGAIN - -again Daniels should at least see Reps, hell if they are going to rotate the two QB’S might as well rotate the 3. Ideally it needs to be the ONE but w don’t have that - -hopefully when Easters gets here we have our QB - -from what I see he is probably the best option we have had in quite some time to be realistic talent wise

Sure he is. You get better at practice and getting reps. Throwing him to the wolves now is a bad, bad idea. It was obvious to me Kendrick got stone cold lucky on a lot of throws and should’ve probably had 2-3 picks. He missed a wide open Parchment on one throw and threw a ball into double coverage that should’ve been picked. Lassiter made a nice catch but whew that was close. Ditto one of his TD’s on the goal line. Had TK wide open in the flat for a score but threw into coverage to the back pylon. A good defense picks both those. MacVittie’s pick wasn’t totally on him. Plus he had a better PFF rating and making something from nothing. I want to see more from MacVittie. Not saying he’s totally the guy, but Kendrick definitely isn’t.

Well enough of this non sense - - on another note - isn’t Jayden Jones announcement coming up this week ? - - like where we sit with him

MY GOD I didn’t think it was possible for us to get any worse then in the past but Holy shit -we have no Defense pressure/presence - we have NO QB we basically suck plain and simple.

This kind of football is beyond embarrassing - like MayJay said gonna free up some Saturdays for me - -I’ll be dam if I’m gonna watch this trash

@Marco said in Langston Wilson:

@jayhawkblue73 is he a three year guy for us or a two? It would be interesting to see him and Muscadin play together when or if they had the chance.

Think your probably looking at two years if I’m figuring right. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Rumor is Kendrick will he the guy. Buckle up.

this makes me happy - - - yes very much - - happy - - - I think between the two - – yes this is good. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

went back and watched this again. The more i watch , the more I like this kid. I mean he can get out - - -run the floor , got just about all aspects on his shot , got some range hitting from the top of the key , hits from the wing , can post down low some , although in the Big 12 and against other P-5 think he needs to add some weight for low production , loves to flush in a variety of ways - -windmill, reverse , the Alley and the Oop lol - looks like quality length on the Defensive side

I think if Bill and the Staff could get him in the program and work a little- -maybe reel him in just a bit , little more hell i dunno - -is structured the right word ? - he has the tools and with the right staff could be a very nice find. - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@nwhawkfan said in So Chiefs/Texans Social Injustice:

Love the irony of the situation…the players demonstrate for racial justice as the fans do the Tomahawk Chop…

from what I’ve heard they are tring to get the Tomahawk chop stopped - - no more War Paint or change the name, - -no more head gear or face paint - -fricken crazy. - -Don’t think all that will happen crazy

Been watching NFL Network today , been a lot of talk of what the Chiefs / Texans will do to support the movement on Social Injustice.

Texans & Chiefs been in a lot of talk about unity on this talk of like they may stay in Locker Room during the National Anthem seems to be prevalent what do you think ? - - yes , no ?

Also a lot of talk about new into the game and that new is rookie running back Clyde Helaire , lot of talk about this guy and how camp saying people gonna be surprised. -the hosts talking about how they think he may have a bigger impact on tonights game then some may think.

Talking about how DeShaun really thinking the importance of this game, how this Texan offense is a TOTALLY different offense then last years and loaded with new receivers we shall see. - -Wondering about exactly what the teams WILL DO about the Social Injustice - there will be something , Both coach’s say they will back the players in whatever it is. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark said in Langston Wilson:

Would love to have him.

@BeddieKU23 yeah, his path to JUCO is a lot different than normal. I can’t remember if it was mentioned in the recruiting thread or not but he didn’t even play HS basketball.

So - - -what you think ?- - we right there for him ? - -what’s you think the chances are ?

@BeddieKU23 said in Langston Wilson:

Explosive leaping ability. Definitely rare to see that kind of bounce to him especially in the Juco ranks.

Agree probably the one that really impressed me was like the 1st on I think about half way down the lane got fed and took it home hard - - loves to flush

Had a hell of a career, was just getting ready to post myself. Of course played his best with the Bronoco’s - - Harris and Him playing for the Bronco’s - pretty good. - - loved him at KU

I’ll say this kid looks like he loves to finish , various ways. Looks like he has some nice hops , seems like he gets off the floor fairly quick , got some outside game to him , got a little inside game , then I’m now more in favor of the kid cause he is a lefty lol - - With me being a lefty lol. looks decent athletic , but like has been said could put on some weight. - -Just wonder in reality how much of a chance we have with this kid - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@justanotherfan said in Kansas releases first depth chart of 2020:

8 redshirt or true freshmen on the defensive side of the 2 deep. 3 of those are true freshmen in the defensive backfield. In the Big 12. That makes me nervous. That’s a lot of inexperience at a critical spot on the field. Maybe all of those guys play well from the start, but its more likely that a couple of them struggle at least a little early on. This is going to be a tough year, but could lead to some good things if everyone gets a full offseason.

agree with you on the inexperience but I think we all fully understand this will be another struggling year. HOWEVER this is our future, we will be seeing our future unfold before our eyes.

Were young - - were really young as you pointed out , especially on the defensive side of the ball , we just have to look a the broader scheme of things - -these guys are like you said freshmen or Redshirt the thing we will notice is - - NO JUCO’S - -no quick fix , these are mad hatters teams now, this is one thing I am really impressed with. - -He refuses to sacrafice the team even further by trying to stick in all these Juco’s- - these are guys we are going to have for the 4 years - -can you imagine the experience alot of these guys are going to have by the JR & SR years. - - This is how the mad hater is getting this program turned around.

Were going to take our lumps now but he is building this program that will be built on experience & Depth and you can see the improvement in the talent, just like this 2021 group he is getting verbal from now looks like a step up, were getting visits from players that we wouldn’t even be able to have gotten a phone conversation from before - - -I’m stoked for our future.

I gree with you my friend but yet - - were getting there my friend - -we take our lumps now but those days will be coming to an end hang in there - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@DanR said in This is the kind of Pub KU doesn't need:

@Marco Where are barbershops and hair salons closed? I got my hair cut four days ago in Lawrence. She wore a mask, and I wore a mask. She’s from Lincoln, NE, and we talked about the damn Cornhuskers and Runza (fast food place, based in heaven on earth, LINCOLN). Thankfully, I don’t have as much hair as I used to, so it was quick and I worried more about her Nebraska cooties than corona.

It seems to me – broad generalization – that a lot of people just want things to be back to “normal” without really evaluating what that is. I personally hate Disneyworld with the heat of a thousand suns because my parents worked there for 25 years, but if everyone buys into a minimal personal sacrifice (mask), it’s all doable. Go to Disney and walk around out in the 100 degree sunshine. Bless you. But, do you want to pack Allen Field House right now? Ew… nope. We could in a couple months if we snuff this out.

I think the problem with relaxing statewide restrictions is it gives ignorant people the illusion/green light that things are peachy fine. (by ignorant, I mean my immediate family going to bars and big social gatherings. Mask not required, so mask not worn). Funerals. Weddings. Even church service. Those are tough choices and I’ve had to make some of those. At this point, we should have snuffed it out with a consistent plan, but we didn’t.

Couldn’t have said it better. - -give some idiots enough rope and sure enough they gonna hang theirself.-- Just like you said they relax some of the restriction and people act like fools and try and pretend this crap never happened. - -People have to understand this virus is NOT going anywhere until we can get a vaccine.

Some people thought well as soon as the heat comes this stuff wil go away , well umm - - NO. I don’t get what’s so dam hard about wearing a mask - something as simple as that , NOT THAT HARD and simple to do. - -No one likes to - - - I don’t like to but if it helps even in the slightest then I’m gonna do it, instead of some of the idiots that say - -Humph I’ll show them I just ain’t gonna do it there take that attitude. People need to wake the hell up

well so much for the thought of that. Kinda sucks . - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

This isn’t concerning our 2021 recruiting guys BUT is football related.

Kinda bummed today , confused/frustrated. This has to do with football & the COVID -19 BUT not College. It’s Kansas High School football.

I just want to voice my opinion/view and I could be wrong , I could be dead wrong and I can accept that. I myself am not saying that I’m100 % Right BUT.

OK, So I heard last night and then again this morning - - just another case with how the COVID-19 is affecting high school football here in Kansas. The KSHAA had been looking at making teams more their seasons to spring. Yet I think they left it to the individual districts. - - Well her it is , Wichita Schools had voted to Cancel all fall sports and play in the spring because of the COVID - - OK might be best.

Well- - - -guess what ? - -they overturned that decision and are NOW playing this fall. I MYSELF - - - think this could be a Big Mistake , a bad decision , might be like screwing with a keg of dynamite. - -This is where I could very well be wrong. But I just think they are messing with fire. with the COVID running so rampant.

They overturned their decision they said after 1000’s of E-mails and Messages from parents, kids and such almost demanding to let the kids play. - -I get it - -I really do , I can see their point. for some it’s their last year of high school ball - -the last chance for the parents to see their babies play - - -so I get it – BUT I also think it’s also kind of selfish on their part - - it only takes ONE - - -ONE positive test from a player and this thing will spread like wild fire , like that’s exactly what we need. - Again I could be wrong and it’s just that random though and opinion , there is no winner in this thing. - - Guess we just better hope this doesn’t backfire on these kids - -again it’s not all about just YOU. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

heard the same thing only thing is Wilson is in the 2021 class lol

@Woodrow said in 2021 Recruiting:

Langston is the JUCO kid right? If my memory serves me right I thought I saw where he had ~40 offers.

ya that’s him, he does have 40 offers. Yet a lot of those offers aren’t what you would call big time, got enough but I mean not flooded

Some of those offes are : Fla International , Maryland Eastern Shore , Howard , K-State , Miss Valley St , Eastern Carolina , Nicholls St , Troy , Grambling St etc.

Some of the bigger offers are : - -Arizona st , West Virginia , KU , Georgia , Memphis , Wichita State , & Maryland.

So yahe has 40 offers but wouln’t be just in awe over the amount of offers. Having said that would still take this kid in a minute, looks really athletic

I readily agree to the rules, don’t particularly want to engage in politics on this site anyway.

ya I USUALL try and stay away from that too. - -Although got to say have fallen vistim to the sniping a couple of times when I’ve browsed and then finished reading some’s comments - not the best decision.

Actually I hate even seeing Politics in a Sports site ot close to a majority sports site - -does no good to have that in here - - -like has been said no one gonna come out ahead in something like that , So I try to just stay away - haen’t acheived 100 % but trying

Several people that have kids here in Topeka fully believe most schools round here will end up being shut down ad 100 % on line before you can blink an eye.

USD 501 don’t start till after labor day BUT a friend of mine who is a head supervisor in the Meinten oh for get the name. Anyways in charge of getting classrooms ready and things like that say’s - he doesn’t know how they gonna start class when they still waiting on the protective shielding/ divider things.

Silver Lake started school yesterday and immediately shut down and starts on line tomorrow a some students tested positive - -rural school close to Topeka - -3- A school

Highland Park High School Volley team all self containment after Girl tested positive - 6 A School

Most are saying they don’t believe any of 501 - -that’s all Topeka schools will ever open this year

After seeing how the COVID is spiking here in Kansas this surprises no one. - & with the Frat & Sor having such issues - -it just gonna go up or at least still cause more problems at Ku & K-State and other Universitites, I’m sure other Schools are having the same problem in their schools also

so the other 35 are what then ? they having to pay to go to School no Scholi , or what bud ?

Yeah, they’re walk-ons.

Thank you so much buddy , I knew someone could set me straight on this - that’s why I love this site , someone doesn’t know the answer - -you’ll find one.

Hey on a seperate note , did you get a chance to watch Easters last night. - -I watched the whole game, gotta say pretty exciting High School game. - If you did, what did you think.

I think he has a fairly decent chance to be a pretty solid QB. - -looks to me like he throws a pretty decent deepball maybe a little more consistence, - -BUT he had a very nive 2nd half I think sure he has things to work on but nothing that can’t be fixed - - maybe making some better reads , looking of receives , and things, pretty confident Pro style QB right ?

The big thing is hanging on to him - -what did YOU think ?

Ok guys, not recruiting but a question on numbers. Going to show my lack of knowledge here so looking for help.

Ok I hear and fully believed we were really short in numbers yet when I look at our 20-21 roster , we total list of players of 118 kids. - -So how’s that if we are short?

Broke it down we have listed on roster : Red Shirt Freshmen ( 15 ) - - -Freshmen ( 39 )- - - Soph ( 16 )- - - Junior ( 22 )- - - Red Shirt Juniors ( 1 )- - Senior ( 24 ) - - - Red Shirt Senior ( 1 )

So with these numbers how are we short I know the answer is pretty simple some one please help set me straight.

One thing for sure I think you can sure see when the new staff came in -looks to me like w are really young- - 70 of the players listed are either Red Shirt Freshmen - - Freshmen - -or Soph’s - -that make a solid roster building bodies making men right ? - - thanks guys. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Wow , I watched our QB for 2022 Ben Easter and Brownsburg Indiana ply St X last night. Got to say that was quite the entertaining High School game I saw for quite sometime.

Pretty well like what I saw from Easters for the game , True if you watched he made some mistakes , 2 INT’S tried forcing the ball one for sure was he just stared his receiver down from the get go - - -east pick. Not sure what he ended up with yardage wise but had to be pretty decent. Like I said Easters made a couple of bad decisions , BUT overall I liked what I saw , throws pretty nice ball, made some really nice passes, pretty decent deep ball. As for as his reads that can be fixed , not forcing things with time. I like this kid , nice size, sure doesn’t run much well at least not last night, for sure more of a pro style qb then a dual threat.

The game got kinda sloppy about from the midway point of the 3rd quarter turnovers everywhere BOTH teams. - -Brownsburg defense has pretty stout run defense , Brownsburg trailed most the night. was down 17-3 at the half. Easters brought them back , well and some crazy costly turnovers by St X.- - Anyways Brownsburg scored with like 30 seconds to go in the game to tie. They have a really good receiver name of Lacy , just killed St X all night I know at long point he had like 5 catches for 111 yards really good receiver.- - In the end Easter and the boys won the game 30-24 I really enjoyed watching this. - -I think we have a pretty decent QB in our future. Now all we have to do is hang onto him. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

New JUCO offer

Not sure how serious the offer is but I can see why the staff offered. I’d be thrilled if this kid ended up at KU. Elite athlete.

That’s great and all and nothing against this kid , BUT I think we should be going full bore and more trying to scour the Nation for a PG.- -I think at this point we are much better off on frontcourt players then back. - -We NEED a PG - kind like how badly our football program needs a QB/- - I wouldn’t think a player like this would be a priority

@jayhawkblue73 Twice as many white men killed by police but how many more white men exist in the country? My brother is a cop too so I get where you are coming from emotionally. Cops have a hard job and a lot of the actual policy behind the defund the police movement is to make cops jobs easier by not forcing them to deal with every problem in our society.

one being killed is to many

@benshawks08 said in Wow. Bucks Boycott Game 5:

@jayhawkblue73 How many police officers do get shot during routine traffic stops?

A lot more then you ever knw. - - My Brother talks about it a lot. Police pulling someone over on an inner state, some low traveled hwhy , a stop late at night. Been told of many encounters. by my brother. These police put their lives on the line every day - - it sucks not knowing if I’ve seen my brother for the last time when he starts his shift - -well is he going home after work OR will the family be getting a call - - a knock on the door saying he has been shot in the line of duty.

I’m so sick and tired of people always playing the victims role give me a break. you haven’t done anything - -SOMETHING wrong your not going to have to worry about it.

People need to realize that in reality there are TWICE as many white men that get shot or abuse by oficers as blacks TWICE AS MANY but yet is there mass riots - looting - -vandalizing and assaults of innocent people when that happens? - -Why is that ?

I as a family member of a Police officer am tired - -really tired of this shit. - I’ve got a brother out there putting his life on the line fr you and me EVERY DAY/NIGHT doing his job. Now they wanting to take things away from them that they have to work with. fo self protection - they wanting to take away a lot of the non lethal - -pepper spray smoke and such - -I don’t know about others buy umm I kind of LOVE my brother just a little bit - - kind of nice to know that he can do his job and still be able to come home at the end of his shift. Police that get shot as soon as they step up to driver side door - -half their face blown off - gunned down, we don’t wee people rioting on that do we ?

When I was an officer myself don’t know how many times dispatch asking me if I was by myself on a routine stop. - -If I say yes they would tell me go to secured channel and them be informed the indivual I had stopped had been in prison for murder , criminal threats on and on and on. All I can tell people if you have such a problem with LEO then go apply always looking for bodies - pisses me off big time

@approxinfinity said in Wow. Bucks Boycott Game 5:

@jayhawkblue73 ok, I get that police deal with some bad stuff and it hardens them and they’re trying to protect themselves, and people don’t always see the good that police do. Same with any job in that respect. You dont know what any random person does at their work. But if they showed up on your street and shot someone, that would be your impression of them. And people tend to talk about people shooting people. We know that.

How crazy does the tape look? Take away the uniforms and who looks like the aggressor on the tape? It isn’t about the times the cops do the right thing, its about the times the cops do the wrong thing. That’s what we need to solve. These guys in the video might have done all the right things, talking to kids, helping old ladies cross roads, whatever, and then shot Blake and we would still be solving for why they shot Blake.

why was he resisitng ? - - -Why was he resisting ? - - if he done nothing wrong in the 1st place why did he resist? - - it’s just like when these guys get in a car pursuit or foot chase - - they get caught , 1st words out of their mouths is what did I do ? - I didn’t do anythingv- - - well if you didn’t do anything wrong - -why you take off running , or speeding off in the car?

Do you understand how many police officers get shot in a routine traffic stop? - -routine traffic stop for speeding or whatever and end up getting shot. - Why do you think they went to Dash cams - - body cams? So when THAT happenes o you see people rioting , vandalizing ? -seizing control of a Major city and holding that section hostage for 70 Plus days beating up innocent bystanders or others setting fire and other wonderful little things? - NO no you don’t. - things that make you go hmm , just pathetic

@approxinfinity said in Wow. Bucks Boycott Game 5:

@jayhawks2010

Under no circumstances is it acceptable for an officer of the law to shoot a man down for attempting to enter his car, so whats the point in qualifying it?

I get it. Empathy for the officers. It’s a tough job. The officers are supposed to be able to handle belligerent people without shooting them. That IS the job.

And if you build up a culture of fear and mistrust, can you be surprised that someone acts irrationally when confronted by police?

Actually a lot more to it then him just trying to enter his car bud. Sure there are some bad cops. - -there are SOME BAD people too. These police that people want to be quick to judge - -it’s not the entire force , these guys put thee lives on the line every single day not knowing if they have seen THEIR wives , children for the last time. They have no idea if they are going to make it through a shift before some idiot attacks THEM. - -So who are these guys putting their lives on the line for everyday? - - YOU Me, people need to be able to see the other side of the story like has been mentioned always two sides so the next time someone is hollering where the hell the police are at when they are getting mugged , a woman raped , vandalized - whatever the case - -people need to remember oh ya we downsized the forced - -we took away their defense – I’m NOT SAYING this was right just tired of people trying to make the Police look like ass all the time My Brother is a Police officer, how many times do people tell Police THANKS when they help them out of situations ? - - VERY VERY SELDOM I’m telling you from experience. - -whether want to believe or not many many times police put up with ALOT OF SHIT - - A LOT before taking action. These guys are in a no win situation. - -Damed if they do - - Damed if they don’t

I support this How organized is BLM at this point? Obviously this senseless violence by police keeps happening and it seems like BLM needs to make some clear demands even while reserving a “you know it when you see it approach” in reaction.

Is it possible?

what they DON’T need to do is riot and burn inoncent citizens business. - -Vandalize - - loot beat up. That serves no purpose - I/we got real issues with that

Sorry guys not directly KU , but still NCAA didn’t really know what to put this under. - -Boy Will Wade is really getting the heat at LSU.

There is an article reported by Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports Saying the NCAA states the Wade was offering or providing impermissible benefits to at LEAST 11 recruits or others around them these impermissible benefits included cash payments. 2 former LSU Basketball were listed on the business ledger of Christian Dawkins .

The Payments occured in 2015 where Wade arranged for offered and or provided impermissible payments including cash , to AT LEAST 11 perspective student athletes , family members , including associated with and or non scholistic Coaches inn exchange for the prospects enrollment to LSU.

NCAA is persuing infractions and wants the case assigned to the IARP. Wade was heard making a strong ass offer for a recruit on a Federal wiretap that happened in 2019 made to Dawkins who was a middle man for an NBA agent - - this whole NCAA thing is nuts.

Not only the LSU BasketbalL program but the LSU football program very well might be in trouble for when Odell Beckman was giving LSU players cash and then they might be in trouble for a former lineman that played for them name of Alexander - - what ya gonna do. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

I could be wrong but looking like the guys are really hitting the defensive side of the ball hard - - DB’S Safty’s - -right ? - - fine with me

For sure. Still looking at adding another DB and DE as well. Then it’s probably best player available/QB.

that’s good to hear. Think they are doing a pretty good job trying to get this defense turned around.

You know & I know it’s Coach saying it but he says he actually believes the O-Line can be better then last years, they listed the hgt & wght of the guys - -got some pretty big boys , got guys that seen quality playing time last year. One kid is like the 6’8 and like 295 ?

Actually think the offensive skilled in really good shape , depth at running back - pretty good group of receivers. we just need that QB - been a sore spot the last 2-3 years , although Stanley did Adquate job - Man hope Easter or maybe the Freshman we have this year hopefully will be able to get a firm grip on that Position. - - I just feel we NOT that far from turning the corner on this dang thing. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

So curious , since the NCAA passed the rule for this year , that it’s really a FREE year for everybody this Season whether you play , you Red Shirt , you opt out - you still get this year, if your a freshman - -your a freshman next year.

Thing is really curious how many of these Seniors might come back NEXT year. - could be really interesting if players such as Parchment - - - Robinson - - Lassiter - -MacVittie - -Mayberry would come back. - -I could seesome of them coming back. could help them that extra year working on their game

Think Parchment , Robinson might have a chance to try as a free Agent - -extra year could help their chances

@Texas-Hawk-10 agree with the durability issue and not making him a centerpiece. If Simmons could shoot a 3 it would strengthen your argument. JoJo career .319, Simmons career .083!! Thats rough. Not sure you want to build around that either.

Agee, Simmons is one reason they have struggled in the playoffs , he has no outside consistent shot - - ugly shot , gets most of his off drives , rebounds & dunks. Plus he has had his own share of health issues , he got hurt this year again right before the playoffs against Boston not really a good track record himself. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Simmons has a much better health track record than Embiid does. Before this season Simmons had missed just 4 regular season games the previous two years. Another difference between the injury histories of Simmons and Embiid is that Simmons issues are not chronic, his injuries have been different to different parts of his body. Embiid does have chronic issues with the same injuries to the same body parts that started at KU.

I would be much less concerned with Simmons long term health than I would be with Embiid’s.

I dunno, all I know is the talk is that Philly wants to hang on to Jo Jo and trade Simmons maybe get a better Scorer , would love to see Booker there BUT that’s not happening

@Texas-Hawk-10 said in Philly is a dissapoinment:

I know we all love Embiid, but there’s an issue with building a team around him and that’s his durability. He’s never played more than about 75% of a season so the real question should be is Joel Embiid someone that a franchise should build around knowing he’s going to miss about 25% of the season? The reality is Ben Simmons has been the more durable player so far and plays a position of more value even if he doesn’t fit the traditional mold of a PG.

If I’m Philly’s GM, realistically I’m choosing Simmons over Embiid to build around because it’s clear at this point those two can’t coexist with each other and I would definitely package Embiid and draft picks to try and get another superstar that compliments Simmons game better than Embiid does.

well understand what your saying Cause Jo Jo has had health issues , YET all the talk right now they were talking about on National Sports program over the weekend is - - That it’s sure sounds more like Simmons will be the one to be traded if there is a trade, saying the Front office likes Jo Jo more to build their program around. I heard over the weekend they were interviewing some guy don’t ask me who - -writes out of Philly and he was saying the buzz is that Simmons more likely to be on the trading block.

Now that could change - - to me personally I don’t give a rats rear if Jo Jo stays in Philly or not , actually could be better for him if they DID trade him , let him go somewhere that’s there is more pieces already in place where Jo Jo doesn’t necessarily have to be the main piece. Let him blend in , Jo Jo is a Dominant figure put up really sweet numbers but can’t do it by himself. - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY
