Any thoughts on Vaughn’s ability to recruit? Has he been involved in recent signings?

@drgnslayr Do tell!

So many issues happened in such a short time. Down time is exactly what you need (needed?) to recover. Take it easy as much as you can and get better. Hoping everyone else is improving too.

IMHO, Vaughn didn’t come to KU to be a long term assistant. I would think this hire portends a near term Self retirement (2-3 years). Or is KU a springboard for Vaughn?

@Texas-Hawk-10 - positive or negative factor?

@wissox - move it to the Politics board.

@Crimsonorblue22 - 14!

Batting slump. Big time. 8/10 in last night’s lineup hitting .208 or worse. Only Witt & Garcia hitting at all.

@BShark - if possible, what’s the deal there with Case? I thought he was a pretty good recruiter but have no ideas about his coaching abilities. If you like, PM please.

Don’t believe it’s been KANSAS since the injury to Jalen Wilson…

@FarmerJayhawk - To clarify, you believe Flory is going with Pearl?

@Texas-Hawk-10 - My thought is that Self would be very good at fund raising and management. He could leave the higher stress jobs of recruiting and coaching to others (but still shake hands” with recruits).

Would Self entertain the GM position? Also heard somewhere Frank Mason is interested in becoming a member of the recruiting staff? FWIW.

Furphy was 0/6, no free throws, zero points. 4 rebounds, 2 assists in 23 minutes. -16 in +/-. NBA money too strong for him to stay. Maybe he’ll have an impact next year?

Creighton was missing their starting point guard, Steven Ashworth. He was back Saturday vs ND and played 36 minutes.

That was a very confusing ending. The ball was snapped before the Raiders were set. QB wasn’t even looking but said he clapped his hands too early. If they weren’t set, it should have been a false start. But Illegal Formation? Did KC decline it?

Marcus Adams is playing for CSUN this year and has put up some points against non-P4 opponents. (Cal State Northridge)

Zuby had 22/10 in 42 minutes, but only 6/12 at the stripe. He’s showing potential.

So KU is on ESPN+. #1 in the country. What is ESPN showing instead? Northern Illinois vs Miami OH football! ESPN2? Western Michigan vs Central Michigan football!

@wissox - Rick Pitino, IIRC.

I see Zuby Ejiofor, KU to St John’s a couple of years ago, still has scoring and rebounding woes. Pitino may bench the junior.

@rcjhdraft - Screw ups at the end of the game are habitual this year. At least KSU didn’t score before the half. Another loss.

Trade for Kupp?

Probably not going to get any easier next year?

Am I right? KU has given up a touchdown in every game in the last 2 minutes of the 1st half?

@Texas-Hawk-10 - Even though they gave up a lot of yards in the first 30 minutes, it was close at half. Inept offense in the 2nd half let it get out of hand (although a couple of calls that could have gone KU’s way might have changed everything). I would have to see the splits by half though.

@Texas-Hawk-10 - KU offense didn’t do enough to stay on the field. Thus, the defense was gassed. Still looks like the O takes most of the blame, IMO.

*KU gives up a touchdown right before the half - again. *4th qtr collapse - again.

These players have to be feeling pretty low.

@patoh3 - years and years of being the worst team on the field. Refs will do those teams no favors. Plays need to be clearly a catch. No questionable penalties. Last year may be an outlier as far as other teams are concerned.

KU will get no calls with their reputation. Appears obvious today.

@jayballer67 - White Sox aren’t done yet. It could get worse.

KSU circles this game on the calendar. They fear losing and they have a serious winning run. They don’t want to be the ones to break that streak. Ergo, blowout?

The Defense is a contributing factor too. They seem to fold in the last 5 minutes of each half. Are they playing “prevent” or ???

@nuleafjhawk - Now that’s funny!

Lance will bail IMO based on “lack of fan support”. JD needs to become a RB or WR. Ballard to QB? Defense - how do you fix something that broken?

Now 1-3. This season held such promise. Another 4th qtr collapse.

Up to the D now.

Gotta admit, I have pretty low expectations. JD throws the ball very hard, making it hard to catch. Run game has to work. D has to stop WV run game.

Anyone have information about Boot Camp? Not seeing much.

Expectations were so high…. Daniels is lost. Why can’t KU football have nice things?

Just saw a Tweet that said 6 turnovers by Jalon Daniel’s in the last 100 minutes of football. What’s going on?

Same stupid stuff before the half.

Listening via KU Athletics. It’s a play ahead of ESPN+. At least I know what’s going to happen and can watch for it. Announcers are better too!

Two turnovers already.

Looks like the angry Jayhawk on the sleeve. Love it!

Also, per CBS Sports, Bean “injured his shoulder on his one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter of the Colts’ preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday. If he clears waivers, Bean could be invited back by Indianapolis to be on the practice squad, or he could look to take his talents elsewhere.”

Per CBS Sports, “ If the tight end clears waivers, his most likely next move will be joining the practice squad with New Orleans.”

@wissox - interesting find! Can you link the tweet or at least who posted it?

@mayjay - Yogi’s biography is a great read!
