I feel confident. I feel very confident, I’m telling you people are overlooking our boys and telling ya this our guys will have that chip on their shoulder.- – ---- - I feel good about our skill positions & I think with Foste and corp will just get the job done.

Were gonna score for and at time score a lot. I think in this game with the environment hype with the Stadium , the fans it’s goanna be hard for Fresno-- -and I STILL say we got Nine wins coming this year. --KU -38 – - - Fresno St- - – 21

@FarmerJayhawk mercy that’s so encouraging to hear if people come through with those figures really helps a ton , puts us in a very good spot

@dylans said in KU received 300 million gift from donor.:

@SlimShaddy54 yes. Revshare is fully funded for a bit. I think some of the money was earmarked for academics too. gasp lol

Glory be- -Gasp , surely not lol

So the article says Mr Booth is allocating 75 Millon towards the Stadium, and the rest will b annually allocated I guess that could go to NIL if wanted/needed to lure football , basketball recruits rights ?

HOLY CRAP . Well I quess if there was any question about coming up with our funds to be able to complete Phase II- - - -there sure the hell ain’t now --OMG. thank you MR Booth , all donations are greatly appreciated but mercy–WOW. that’s a wrap boy’s and girls

Nick Collison

@FarmerJayhawk That’s really great news , and yet just because he has no restrictions doesn’t mean he has to rush back at full throttle plus

Heard Coach Self talking on a podcast the other day I think it was CBS anyways they were talking to Coach and they were asking him about if he had any thoughts he might suggest to follow him. He said ya he had a couple of guys form his current staff that he could suggest.

One he mentioned was or is pretty well known and that was Jacque- - the other he mentioned from the staff was a complete surprise for me and that Name was Jeremy Case - – WOW had no idea

I’ve heard some say Calderon shouldn’t touch the floor= = == = and yet every time I hear Self talk or read things from Self he is constantly talking about how they have been really impressed with him and how he thinks he can really help the team

@Kcmatt7 All I keep hearing how crisp, JD-6 has looked. Really focused. I think some people are overlooking KU this Season , I hope JD and Henderson become lethal.— I’m not shy I truly believe great chance for a Nine win Season.

@FarmerJayhawk Cool , thank you for the information. Love the Hill , I thought there was going to be some kind of seating but wasn’t sure how many— --Thank you.

@FarmerJayhawk They’re suppose to close in the Soth end with seating aren’t they ?

@dylans I 100 % love your sense of humor, that’s why I like you lol. At first I thought you were serious lol , I thought Whoaaaaaa this guy been out in the sun to long == = == = then realized ahhh he just a joshing- --WHEW

Sunday was 97 for a high with heat index 114-- ----Monday was 98 degrees and heat index 116 - -& today was 98 with a heat index at 111 screw that here in Topeka

KU sports can’t come fast enough so sick of this crap. -------TWENTY FIVE DYS TILL kickoff

Wow Coach was just dismissed from the Hospital on Saturday and now on Monday there he is on Monday having lunch with what they arre saying has a really good chance to be the rated big msn on KU campus yesterday. Jayon Keita a class of 2027 visited Ku yesterda, considered the Top big from the class 2027 looking like going to reclassify to 2025

considered probably top big man for 2027 or 2026- - -they haven’t ranked him yet but all say is for sure the Big man in class . Seven footer can cover a lot of ground a very , very elite rim protector has a right hook to Score, people believing in re-class . was at KU yester other schools Indiana , Duke , N Carolina , U Conn , Kentucky one sure way to tell the kid has the Goods and probably going to make a quick decision on where he will play in 2026 --oh ya averaged 4 blocks a game --elite.

TWENTY - -SIX DAYS , Till Kickoff- -man the Stadium looks Awesome-- -That field Sweet

Got to say , were in on some pretty dam good recruits for 2026 players either that’s going to visit, has visited , or visiting again. They said they are really targeting Ethan Taylor visited on 2nd of June. In on pretty heavy Devion Adkins visiting KU on Sept 16th,

Others scheduled to visit-- – -Latrell Almond 0n ( 8-38 ) IKenna Aloziie (10- 17th ) – Billy White III , Deron Rippey ( 11-2 ) to name a few

@drgnslayr Understand that but people looking at both sides of the fence which is only logical. Common or not this is nothing to mess around with. The poor guy has some major health issues and this job stressful as it is I guarantee you that he has had some medical people tell him that it might be a god time to call it a day.

He has already said previously that he didn’t winna Coach many more years , he wanted to be able to enjoy his time with his Wife and enjoy his Gran Kids. This just might be the final straw for him to back away.

However I do think he will try for this year because of Darryn at least

I agree with FarmerJayhawk about Jacque , that’s what I was saying earlier and I’m just not lock stone convinced that like some think IF Coach can’t continue that they are automatically turning it over to Jacque.

I also think there are other people that have the question but might just not know how to phrase the question without seeming dis-respectful but the question remains , I like all others respect the Hell out of Coach Self and the things he has done for the University of Kansas that can never be repeated and sure hope Coach recovers and has a long life still to go. Yet the question I think others ae thinking also and that is IF Coach Self doesn’t come back THIS year , his Doctors tell him he needs to maybe time to hang it up and take care of himself would be in his best interest then – - - - - - what happens to the current roster ? -Would it be possible some of the roster ask for a release or transfwe, People have to realize kids commit to play for a particular Coach not the University, these kids want to play for Self Could some want out now IF he didn’t come back this year, the one I think of most might be Kohl- - just wondering if that could happen

Great Coach. Nothing we as fans can do, Coach just needs rest and plenty of it. I’ve thought for a long time this would be it, This kind of a job is really stressful, going to say prayers for Coach, His health is the only thing important as of now.

I’m still not convinced 1000 % Jacque WILL be the next Coach- -let’s all wish the best for Coach

The big thing is that they volunteered they would be taking no revenue, none , zero , zelch in the first five years . Offered a absolutely no risk clause as to where if at te end of the Contract and they showed us where they wee bringing NOTHING to the league at all, they would or we could boot them out no questions asked.

The big thing is they are on probation AGAIN. Do we really want something like that ? putting more back eye perspective from general public ? I don’t know each school getting around that extra three million-- money speaks pretty loud, Big corporate partnerships – – Fed - Ex— -Home Depot. I Don’t know , does pro’s out weigh the cons ?

The aftershocks from Wichita St beat the Houston forever Cougs and JaJuan Roberts 66-63 advancing to he Quartr Finals

@rockchalkjayhawk Ya I agree with you 100 %5- -Mayo was really ugly. What the hell was he trying to do in the very late drive and I believe was 57-57. Like a dam bull in a China Closet soooo forced.

we can give a big thanks for us being in that game because of Tyshawn Taylors hustle and drives. I’ll tell you this is they play like this next time they will get blown out.

@FarmerJayhawk not gonna pass not going to get the vote, but guess they was thinking about it for some time. doesn’t matter to me one way or anothre

Crazy times. Ross Dellinger & Brett McMurphy both reporting a couple of hours ago that Memphis offered the Big Twelve in between 200-250 Million dollars to buy their selves into the Big Twelve.

On top of that they were adding be able to deliver major sponsorship- -( Fed-Ex ) . There would not be any money/revenue share given to Memphis for the first five years, – there would be right at three Million given to each Big Twelve School 7 - -And Memphis was also adding a self explosion if at the end of I think 2030 the Big Twelve decided that Memphis was bringing nothing to the table.- --The Big Twelve’s response to this offer from Memphis trying to buytheir way into the Big Twelve—NO THNANKS.- - lots of pro’s and cons on both sides to this story.

Big Twelve critical of SMU buying their way into the ACC , what do you think ?- -Should of w took the offer or no ?

@approxinfinity no , these are guys that I have listed lately anyways are players they are still trying to fill out this years roster

@rcjhdraft Well getting conflicting reports, as to where we stand with Holt. Just read an article with Holt saying the # 6 player and is starting to map out his next steps and is locking up his official visits, /he has set visits with Kentucky on (Sept 12 )—Alabama (Oct 3rd ) - -& Auburn on (Oct 10th ) With Holt being an Alabama Native.

Yet here is the discouraging part saying Holt talked with 247 to break down his recruitment,- ----and time line and top Schools STILL INVOLVED in his recruitment and KU is not listed and KU was not mentioned still involved in his recruitment.

Other Schools still in the mix other then the three listed are according to Holt are : - Houston – - -Baylor- – - Ole Miss-- --Arkansas – - & Providence. So from that sounds like we are out for Holt .

bEEN HEARING A LOT OF NAMES BUT JUST HAVE TO WONDER HOW SERIOUS ANY MIGHT BE. ku LOOKING FOR A STEAL ?- -JUST CURIOUS IF WE HAVW THE MONEY TO LAND ANOTHR PLAYER, KINDA THINK WERE NOT MATCHING WHAT THEY ARE LOOKING FOR

now I’m seeing KU maybe be interested possibly a 5’10,guard from Canada Ngala lost his last name but good numbers. Watched the Locked on Jay Hawks said he was fast not only fast but quick , got a really nice step back jumper, good with steals

TURF’S DOWN my fellow friends. Have to say looks really sweet. Something we can be proud of. This plays a big part in the recruiting process Recruits come in for their visits – - - -see State of the Art facilities , Weight room , good Coaching Staff that really stresses family plays a big part- --really helps.

Looks really sweet now BUT when phase two is complete Mercy Awesome… They got the Stadium lit right now , lights are shing on the Rock Chalk – - -Love it.----- ROCK CHAL ALL DAY LONG BABY

@FarmerJayhawk getting close

Turf is going down guys, Can you imagine when it’s done --gonna look soooooo Sweet

@approxinfinity ya , ya , ya lol blame the writer , not the messenger lmao

@approxinfinity that’s who I was talking about Luka Skopic

Hmmm , So just got through reading an article that can out two hours ago. Sounds like KU might not be done recruiting for 2025/ this years squad rounding out the roster for this year quite yet.

The article says that from a recent post from PDT recruiting KU is showing renewed interest/linked to Croatian --6’9 Guard / Wing — -Luka Skopic . If true says he brings length and promising three point shooting to round out the roster for this year.

Not sure how much validity thee is on this BUT if any substance would be good- - -MORE length and three point shooter, watching film decent ball handler , looks pretty decent shooting the three and length.- -not sure on hops out of all high lights saw one flush-- the rest lay ups but looks solid for minutes off the bench

Had to rfit , another article from Jayhawk’s SI . It said Luka checking out possible College route.— 21 years old , ---- --5.6 Ppg – -- and shot 42.3 Drom the three- - -been hearing from a few Schools Pittsburgh ---- - - -West Virginia-- --& KU listed.

@SlimShaddy54 - --getting excited Football here before you can say Boo. - They are getting ready to lay the turf in about a week t, Sounds like phase two is going to be ready to go. Everyone who has seen the Stadium so it’s awesome, Huge State of the Art. just Convention center won’t be quite ready to go , everything else good to go

Well Kohl is here and on Campus got here yesterday always a releif for them to actually show up. - -Now just waiting on Paul

@Texas-Hawk-10 I sgree with you, when ahool gets involved all logic goes out the window hormones get flaring up and we think with the wrong head, I could see the scenario you mentioned playing out very easily.

@nuleafjhawk I know I mean he is just throwing his life away- -pointless, like you said made a little mosey I mean not huge but I would think comfortable, just see this kind of thing way to often, WHY ? just sad

I guess I just don’t understand, the guy has just basically thrown his life away,—WHY ? I mean yes I know, but i mean I just don’t get it , throwning your life away for sex. I mean if everything was what it was then he will be where he belongs but, clearly just not thinking.

Alcohol will get you in trouble for sure. Wasn’t he still playing in the League ? Just a sad situation

I’m beginning to really like our new recruit’s way of thinking. I think there might be a few that just could be under estimating/value of Paul Gbiya.,While I’m not sating he will be no world beater but I think and have heard yes he is raw and unlimited ceiling.

Yet what I really love his way of thinking. I read an article where he said he wanted to become a Molutu- --which translates to a Dictator of the Lane- -I LOVE that type of thinking. Really good rim protection , relentless on the boards and that7’8 wingspan, I think we might have awaken a Bear

Ian Premier NU 1 player in the State committed to Norte Dame at least not the jerks down the interstate

@dylans w have beaten Duke multiple times I beleive always loaded but under preform

@DCHawker ya , now this Group of Duke recruits ha to prove themselves.---- --There is NO COOPER Flagg or knippel l on the roster…—have seen many 5 star players come up short. Just because there 5 stars doesn’t mean opponents are just gonna step aside and tell Duke to name the score and go from there…- Look how poorly Kentucky has been lately with all the so called stars haven’t came through , came up short

@RockChalkinTexas Oh gotcha , I thought you were talking overall player my bad

So do we think we will use that last scholi or no ?-- If we do what it go for ? Another wing ? or what. I think we might be done.

@RockChalkinTexas Lot better rebounder then KJ- --Lot better rim protector-- much longer wing span 7’9.-- -kinda raw , still learning he has been playing ball for three years.- -gotta little post up move --and your right he loves to try and tear down the rim at all times.

One thing about it is he is not going to have to come in and have the entire load on his shoulders. Like I read from another site actually all he needs to o is rebound, score some and defend the rim right now, spell flory a bit and be able to learn the system.

This team is going to be by far much more physical , much mew athletic.-- we have a Pg that actually can and will drive and finish , play through contact, can and willing to shoot the three.-- Not knocking Juan by any means still like Juan but this is what it is.

We have a Big that loves contact , wants to rip the rim down every time -loves attacking the boards for the rebound— then our other big has serious hops loves blocking shots and pretty dam fluid.

Then we have a wing that can knock down threes pretty effectively , we have a dog maybe a coupe defensively , we have extreme length at every position, we have multiple guys that check in at 6’4- -6’5 interchangeable in many areas.

Then we have a very capable all around players sounds like a team to me.-- -Most the time we are the HUNTED - --This year we are THE HUNTER. I think we are going to be over looked and not enough respect given. – -LET’S DO THIS let the games begin- --ROCK CHSLK

YES ! ! ! now we talking. 7’8 wing span- —standing reach 9’5 - -3 blocks ppg.- — --Flory and Paul is gonna make some teams miserable. pretty dam good combination

With these last two commits ew just went probably from like the fifth best team in league to 2nd 3rd best-- maybe challenge-- like those chances— then we have oh dam what’s that kids name-- – -umm-- umm what is it ? – -OH YA DARRYN PETERSON lol look the frick out. KU didn’t go anywhere . were STILL HERE.

Look I see a bunch of K/State and other trolls on different sites now scurrying back to their holes, I’ll be dam ain’t that something.
