@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.

Throwing your entire life away for absolutely nothing.

@approxinfinity said in Recruiting Notes: @BShark nice. Would be great to put the core of that class together early I have heard part of this is wanting to get a big centerpiece commitment early to get the ball rolling. Do think Holt is most likely and Stokes is now trending Nike.

@BShark yep but these are our A list CBs. Biggest weakness imo

One very fond memory actually took place in Manhattan. A long time ago. Must have been the early 90’s (it’s not even 5am, don’t feel like researching it). For some reason I was at the game by myself. We got our assses handed to us the whole game. Just played awful, so I was pretty quiet. We fought back slowly and by the last possession we were down 2, I believe. With 3 or 4 seconds left Steve Woodberry brought the ball up the court quickly and, with time running out, launched a loooong 3 point shot which he drained and we won by one point! I launched out of my seat, arms raised, double fist pump and screamed “HELL YEEEEAAAAHHH!” And everyone in the building heard me because, after Steve’s shot, it got stone cold quiet in there and apparently I was the only KU fan there that day. It was a long, tense walk to my car.

@approxinfinity said in 2025-26 Schedule: This schedule was already loaded. At least tbese are 2 historically good teams These two programs are trash now. Notre Dame has made one NCAA Tournament appearance since 2017 and Syracuse only has one tournament appearance post Covid. KU should make the championship game of this as there will probably be several 2-0 teams and margin of victory, points scored, and points allowed are the tie breakers and KU has probably the weakest schedule of any team there.

@Texas-Hawk-10 nice!

@Texas-Hawk-10 he went from a good kid who loves throwing bales to work out to an entitled diva overnight

@wissox I’d stay 4 years…

@rockchalkjayhawk said in KU Roster for 25-26: ****** With the recent House v NCAA settlement, things are complicated with roster size. It’s hard to say if KU has two more spots to fill, or less. Also, apparently there’s a new fule for “designated student athletes.” These are players who would have been removed given the new roster rules, but now may stick around until they run out of eligibility, but may not count against roster size. This could easily be ALL the KU walkons. ****** May as well look ahead to see what’s in store for next season. I’ll try to keep track of the offseason drama here. I’ll keep this mostly official, so no portal projections here. But the portal window is: March 24 to April 22 Roster size: 14 (includes ALL but DSA players. Normally it’s 15, but we lost one to NCAA sanctions) Roster size at the moment: 12 (a bit sketchy given the DSA rules) RETURNEES (4) G Elmarko Jackson G/F Jamari McDowell PF Bryson Tiller C Flory Bidunga RETURNING WALK ONS? (4 – and potential “designated student athletes”) G Noah Shelby G Wilder Evers G Will Thengvall F Justin Cross IMCOMING FRESHMEN (5) G Darryn Peterson F Samis Calderon G Corbin Allen – Oak Park High School SG Kohl Rosario C Paul Mbiya — not sure what year he is PORTAL ADDITIONS (3) G Jayden Dawson via Loyola Chicago. One year of eligibility left. G/F Tre White via Illinois – previous stops at Louisville, USC. One year of eligibility left. G Melvin Council Jr. via St. Bonaventure – previous stop at Wagner. One year of eligibility left. BIG QUESTION MARK (1) SF Jaden Nickens – A football player who may play hoops. May have to count against the roster before the season begins. HAVE ENTERED PORTAL (6 initially – Bidunga entered, but will return) G/F AJ Storr – signed with Ole Miss G/F Rylan Griffen — signed with Texas AM G/F Rakease Passmore — signed with Maryland PF/C Zach Clemence – signed with Texas A&M G David Coit – signed with Maryland Great info! Thanks!!!

@approxinfinity weak draft it seems.

Is Lexi now our first GM?

https://www.espn.com/college-football/recruiting/story/_/id/44574905/2026-college-football-recruiting-class-rankings-top-teams-schools Only two big 12 teams on that list. Maybe, I struggle to recognize the current Big12 teams - limited shared history.

@dylans They also rented construction equipment to be in the background of a fake groundbreaking photo at the Tropicana site. Lots of theater going on in their PR about a stadium for which financing doesn’t exist but which they claim will be magically done in 3 years. This site fell for it hook, line, and sinker: https://ballparkdigest.com/2025/06/24/athletics-mark-new-las-vegas-ballpark-construction-launch-with-groundbreaking/ Maybe A’s games will be created by AI also?

@FarmerJayhawk Awesome, that’s great to hear. NOW I’ve heard East side shouldn’t take as long probably cause like you said no suites. It’s ok that Stadium is going to look great when finished

And Indiana couldn’t overcome losing Haliburton to a ruptured achilles. Nick Collison is a member of the Thunder’s front office so there is at least one Jayhawk getting a ring this season. Really wish Haliburton hadn’t gotten injured because this had been a great series and may have had a different outcome if he doesn’t get hurt.

@approxinfinity Maybe. I believe that is the goal. That is the model at other schools without the rich basketball history that KU has. I just hate breaking what is working in favor of doing what everyone else is doing. It would be best to hit up different donors (build your own support) for football as opposed to over taxing those that support the basketball team.
