@FarmerJayhawk ball moves well. Always 2 basically primary ball handlers on the floor at the same time

Really expected Dawson to be a mainstay in the rotation. A bit disappointed to see him so far down the bench

How much would this team beat last year’s by?

@kjayhawks said in Sanders and the Buffaloes:

Well I was perfect with my first year prediction of 4-8 and it’s looking like Coach Prime maybe wearing out his welcome in Boulder.

$33M buyout if fired. $12M if he leaves voluntarily.

So would likely meet in the middle at $20M for him to leave… still steep.

Don’t disagree though. His schtick works a lot better when you win games than when you don’t.

@DCHawker said in KU Vs Green Bay Game Chat:

Finding things to complain about… Two guys have 34 of our 48 points. Need to see some production out of other starters and especially the bench…

I’ve been looking for the go to guy if DP gets hurt. I think it’s probably Council. Elmarko was someone I was hopeful for but he still looks like he doesn’t know that he’s playing basketball out there.

Going to need more out of Tre White and Rosario.

This team really could have used Diggy off the bench imo.

But also maybe this Gotlieb guy can’t coach. Tbh shocked he ever got a job offer

This team so far continues to look special. Defense looks elite and it’s like 90% just being crazy long and athletic

Positives so far? Council looks like a dude.

Not a lot else looking great.

@kjayhawks said in Lance Leipold:

Honest questions I’d like to hear some input on. Is Lance Leipold a good D1 coach? Is he a good recruiter? The two best years in Lawrence (6-7 in 22, 9-4 in 2023) were loaded with Les Miles recruits. Did he get lucky with the foundation Les laid and now we are seeing he is incompetent?

I think his recruiting has been pretty solid. The QB room is as good as we could hope imo. I thought the transfers he brough in this year are good.

They need to take defense more seriously this offseason. They have to find some pass rushers and some guys who can create negative plays on the DL especially.

@FarmerJayhawk said in Lance Leipold:

This cycle is going to be especially insane. We’re probably looking at 25ish FBS openings. Which drives me nuts about the fire Lance crowd. Where do they think we fall in that ranking, especially in a year where there aren’t really many great candidates out there?

I think a lot of people forget how hard it is to win here. And even if they do, keeping them here long enough to actually build a program.

I do think making bowls with his own guys is important. If he can’t do that, we do need to move on. But he absolutely should get another season at the very least. Probably 2 considering the buyout.

@kjayhawks said in Kansas State hate:

What a disgusting performance, this maybe the first time in the Leipold era I’m ashamed of our program and lack of progress. Maybe the first team we’ve had get worse as the year goes on. If we don’t get to a bowl, his seat should be hot.

He gets one more season with his shiny toys to recruit to. If he misses a bowl next season though you have to move on. He’s done a ton for the program and whoever the next coach is after him needs to send a massive thank you. But the reality is the standard for a P5 team like KU should be to make a bowl game 2 of every 3 seasons to keep your job from here on out.

@DanR said in Kansas State hate:

Take him out ffs

Marshall Era if we don’t beat Okie Lite

Man this season has sucked. LL doesn’t make a bowl this year or next and I’m afraid he may have done all he can for this program.

I’m not sure we should throw the ball again today.

TD on the first drive out of half really swings momentum

Very happy with what we saw tonight. Athleticism is the main takeaway

Wish the coaches could choose to not shoot the free throws in an exhibition

Tiller has to be playing better in practice.

Where was the foul?

Want to see some sets ran against a real D. End of game situations before DP goes out

Would like to see more Dawson this half. Would like to see Elmarko try to get aggressive here too

@approxinfinity said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:

That PnR Peterson and Flory looks pretty dangerous

Unguardable when he’s shooting like this

I do think I’ve now seen enough of Tre White to see why he never became that 30mpg guy anywhere he’s been

@FarmerJayhawk said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:

I like the cut of this group’s jib

Certainly going to be a fun team to watch.

@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:

Council supa fast with it

Tyshawn vibes

STAAAAAAHP. Get out of here

Man expectations are about to get insane after this performance from DP

Council is going to end up a fan favorite

Dawson not getting in until now is not a good sign for him (or us maybe).

Mbiya looks like a great 3rd big. Wouldn’t shock me to see him play over Tiller by end of season

How long is Dawson out?

@BeddieKU23 said in KU vs Louis exhibition game chat:

@Kcmatt7

We dont really have another 4 without going small at the moment. Thought he was fouled there but oh well

I thought maybe, but the iso from the short corner didn’t seem like a good idea from the get

Tre with a bad shot and then burnt on a back door. Imagine that gets him pulled regular season

Good fit for Bill.

@Jhawk69 said in Kansas State hate:

@kjayhawks I disagree. A game against an unranked secondary rival is not the biggest game of Lance’s career. All of the games we have played against top-10 opponents were bigger. Our game against Okie State a few years ago that got us bowl eligibility for the first time in forever was MUCH bigger. Both of the bowl games we have played in have been bigger. Our game against Baylor at the end of last year, which was a fight for bowl eligibility, was bigger. Our game against misery, who is a much bigger rival than K-State, was bigger.

I agree to some extent it may not be the biggest game in LL’s tenure. But I do fear the ramifications of a loss may be this team quitting on LL and staff. And then that snowballing into something even worse this offseason.

A win basically guarantees a bowl appearance and accomplishes SOMETHING this season by ending that damn streak.

Anyone who thinks this isn’t a good contract for the Nuggets does not know ball. Guy is a stud.

I do think Ochai will get a new multi-year contract next year as well, but not for as much as CB.

LL needs this win to change the new cycle, change the narrative, and finally change the way in-state recruits look at these two programs. A lot on the line Saturday imo

And Udeh has been a bit of a disappointment himself. Will be interesting to see how he fairs at Miami this season

@Crimsonorblue22 said in Ranking centers for 2025-26:

Zuby! Impressive

We chose Hunter Dorkenson over him

Well we also would have picked Udeh over him if memory serves so we just missed that one pretty bad.

What Agendas in what fields of study? Politics would be topical to some extent right now in Econ, Finance, Population health, education, journalism, supply chain management, Biology, religion, law, meteorology, anthropology, chemical engineering, civil engineering, public affairs, medicine, pharmacy, nutrition, etc.

Current events has always been a part of almost every class I’ve ever taken in college. Even something as dry as accounting will have “news”.

These Are the dumb things that happen to a team when the wheels fall off and they break.

Beat the Kitties next weekend or I do fear this team may become laughable

I suspect this team has “that dawg” in them. A defensive-minded team with a lot of length and athletes. Feels like we will be playing 4-out which is a significant upgrade over last year’s scheme. A LOT of potential on the roster in Flory, Elmarko, Rosario and DP. Solid veteran transfers.

It looks like a recipe for success to me.

We are still KU Football even ignoring the Gill to Miles era.

LL was too successful almost too quick for his own good. Fan expectations are wild.

We need to give LL time with all his new shiny toys before we even think about pulling the plug

@wissox said in TTech Game thread:

Well our defense gave us some moments but Tech figured it out with a backup QB. Lance has to figure this out because we have an offense that wins us lots of games.

They just don’t have the bodies on the DL. Was hopeful we did but they’ll need to evaluate this offseason.

That’ll do it. They gave us hope at least.

Also Kotelnicki may somehow end up coming out of that Penn State job without a job. Could have been our succession plan. Crazy.

This would be such a steal of a win. They are going to shoot up that QBs leg at half lol.

I don’t know what the answer is on offense. We can’t block their dudes.

A Stop and a score before half and this game is interesting again

@BShark said in 2026 Recruiting ( Crazy but ):

Nike got it over the line with Stokes yesterday, announced formally this morning.

I think this one is okay, personally. Guy is a freak, but I hate having a guy you almost feel you need to feed the ball to just because of hype and future recruiting impact. Stokes, imo, lacks ballhandling and is going to be a guy who turns the ball over a lot at this level. Probably put up 2-3 insane highlights a game, but not sure it is a Bill Self fit anyways. Maybe that’s cope, but I’m not beat up about it. Don’t think he will be DP-level good in college. NBA may be a different story.

Kinney looks like a good player, but multi-year to me. Not exactly sure what to expect from him next year.
