@approxinfinity said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

@kjayhawks NFL explained it as a contamination at their NJ lab.

NFL seems to have a pretty good grasp on this virus , heard now can’t give the exact number but tested A many , many players and the return was almost zelch , nada , a big fat Zero.

So if the NFL players can return such good results - -Negative COVID why can’t other citizens follow their lead , wear a dang mask and quit complaining. It’s been proven the masks for sure helps

Really not a drawn out thing her my friends. - - Just wanted to take a second and say Thanks, thanks for the fans and wisdom. Always really good info when I need it, and recruiting info - -Appreciate you all. ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

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

Just to let everyone know - - I’m still here yippee. My whole computer system went whacko had to come up with a whole new username - -but ol Jayballer 54/67 not really alot going on anyways - -I’ll be gla when NLI day rolls around so we know who exactly we DO have in Football & Basketball. - - Going to have the usual de-commits in football I think- - BIGGEST one I wonder about is the Coleman kid is think it’s kind shaky - long time till Dec – hope I’m wrong

@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’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

And THIS surprises Who ? - - -ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Anybody know what time Ben Easters team plays tonight on ESPN 2 i think ? - - - -Ahh never mind , I found it 5:00 CST on ESPN2 get a chance to watch out QB from the 2022 class - plays for Brownsburg. - - ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

Guess we are hoping for Tamar Bates. Would be nice if Sallis just popped for UNC soon and the staff could press all-in.

At this point I don’t care if Farmer Joe comes in and runs point for us - -this is getting really pathetic. All Kentucky or Duke has to do is say Hi and it’s ballgame - big load of crap

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

Listening to Gov Kelly’s message last night. 6 Months since Kansas had it’s first case of the COVID -19. - – 1,286 new COVID since last Friday. - -3 new deaths ,35,167 cases of COVID-19 now in Kansas & 405 Deaths - - just to many

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

@BShark said in 2021 Recruiting:

Not opposed to making a “strong ass offer” for Sallis, if possible.

Lol, " Strong Ass Offer " - -seems like I’ve heard or read a phrase like that before - -Wonder where I got that at lol

@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 ?

@jayhawkblue73 said in Differentiating fact from opinion on COVID-19:

read of a health site last night – Headline read : COVID -19 Soaring in these 5 States.

Iowa , Kansas , Illinois , North Dakota , & South Dakota … We need everyone to follow the same playbook. Kansas has 37,544 cases & 431 Deaths.

Btw I thought you might have stale numbers there because those are the numbers the Google widget was reporting but looking at the numbers on kdh they looked lower. site says update mwf by 12:30 so maybe someone at kdh went on lunch break before clicking submit…

https://www.coronavirus.kdheks.gov/160/COVID-19-in-Kansas

Typically i would assume the state numbers would be more accurate. Weeds out third party telephone tag / CDC number suppression. But maybe that’s not always the case of maybe Google is going more to the source now.

IDK just pulled the numbers from the Article had in the article about the 5 states that was soaring

Well Bates to Texas, myself probably just as well and no matter what some here may think , Sounds like the kid very well might of been a Cancer. - -I know a lot of this is because of what’s been going on - - - -He makes the comment he wanted to play for a Black Coach & then commits to Texas. - - I’m good with that

@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

@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 Ok so here is a Question on this boring day:

I think Mario was the only Jayhawk other than Pierce to win a championship as a starter in the NBA modern era (Sasha got a ring in Cleveland as a deep bench guy). That should count for something.

I thought bout Mario also , however for his Career like has been said Paul is for sure the tops Hands down

@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

@Marco said in Politics Category Rules! Please Read.:

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

@approxinfinity said in Philly is a dissapoinment:

@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

@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

@Marco said in North Carolina sending students home after outbreak:

So North Carolina is going to do virtual classes, but football players are staying. That the players want to play there is no doubt and they are adults - can vote and, if necessary, even be drafted. I say, let them play after signing a waiver and for those who don’t want to allow them to opt out and give them another year of eligibility. What say you? It’s not like they are going to be less safe, if anything they will be even safer.

They was just talking about this on my local sports talk show.- - This is going to open up some debates. - -They are talking about students going to argue if the players stay then the regular student should have the option to stay.

Students going to say they aren’t getting the education that they are paying for if they have to do on line classes and are going to demand money back if they don’t have the same option that the players are getting. - -No more safe they will say for players then students - - bringing up if your giving the players testing and extra precautions against the covid then the students should have the same opportunity. - -gonna get touchy = = =ROCK CHALK ALL DAY LONG BABY

Boy there is a surprise huh – really want to see Jo Jo succeed really bad but have to agree, look slike he needs to drop a few pounds getting kinda big - -couldn’t hurt

Guys If I knew how to share this video I would. Maybe someone can go to the site and bring it. I found this of Wibw. com. - -It’s our local News , weather & sports here in Topeka.

Now yes I know this happens all over , I would just prefer not at KU , as much as bad Pub our School has been getting with things in the past suposed let’s say not so things good going on at the Athletic dorm - -kids being accused of assaults and things- - pot - all the things with Players , NCAA investigations , eligibility questions - you get the idea - -this is just more fuel to the fire about KU in General - -just doesn’t help our standing in Society’s eyes

Now with everything going on with the COVID-19 and the School & Athletic Dept - v-Football team and other sport teams trying to have a Season despite the COVID , one of the things they have talked about is the Students return .Social distancing and such - then you see this.

This Video shows this guy apparantly in this car and he is hollering about he was driving by or so he say he was attempting to go by this fraternity house ( KAPPA SIGMA ) and they were having this party - - just a big Beer bust really with large group which they are trying to get kids to refrain from - -anyways a kid throws a beer in his car - -getting him wet with beer and in his car and he is pretty upset.

The sad part of this is not only the Social distancing but actually the worst part is the House Mother exchanging words with him telling him to leave cause he wasn’t invited - - -WOW he said he had been trying to get through and they were blocking him in so he couldn’t leave. The House Mother was actually more or less approving their actions/ the kid that through the beer

You can bet this will be making the rounds to others that are already down on KU - -just a bad look. - - Again I KNOW this happens at every College some time or another - -but I don’t give a dam about every other College - - I care about KU - -just not a good look
