Rather than threads for specific games I thought it might make sense to have a thread covering all of them. I love that our board has hardcore fans that love all levels of college football.

I know it’s the same time as the KU hoops game and the Army/Navy game but I will be watching a kid I coached who is playing for North Dakota State (against Mercer). He is a redshirt freshman who starts at CB. Jailen Duffie. Good kid. I stay in touch with his dad.

End of first quarter and SDSU leads 7–0 in cold a$$ Brookings (great town though). Both teams have some dudes.

Jackrabbits have been on a roll in recent years supplanting North Dakota State as the premier FCS program.

Shakeel Moore is currently on the court warming up.

Special Game Day, favorite day of the year.

Army: Because no one played Navy as a kid.

And the Army goes rolling along…

But bElIeVe aLl WoMeN!

No. 10 Kansas is set to host North Carolina State on Saturday afternoon. With tip between the Jayhawks and Wolfpack approaching, JayhawkSlant.com caught up with Jacey Zembal from TheWolfPackCentral.com to get his thoughts on today's game.

I wondered if this would happen if you saw all of the players that are in the portal from Marshall. Add in the fact there is a head coach change.

I confirmed Alabama corner Jhalil Hurley is on campus. His last visit was to Missouri and the word was they were considered the leader but have backed off him or at least slow playing him. It is also believed Michigan State is in the running where he finished his visit yesterday. One source told me, "I can see more schools getting involved if they lose their weekend targets."

Another name to keep an eye on is Tyler Mercer, an OL from North Texas. He moved into the starting spot in week two and made several Freshman All-American lists. He's been a hot commodity because he is a 4X3 and picked up offers from North Carolina, Mississippi State, Arizona State, Arkansas, Miami, Stanford, and Houston.

Stanford OL Trevor Mayberry was supposed to visit this weekend but dropped KU. The Jayhawks are no longer on his list.

The position that is toughest to track right now is wide receiver and this is a tough year to be in the receiver market. This happens to be a year a lot of schools are looking for receivers and the word on the street people are overpaying or receivers. I'm hearing a couple of targets KU was on are no longer in the running on Nyziah Hunter and Omari Kelly.

Cam Pickett is on campus for his official visit and that would be a huge get at wide receiver.

A name to keep on the list is Yanni Karlaftis. He is the younger brother of KC Chiefs DE George Karlaftis. I have heard the staff has been recruiting him but there isn't any new info on him. I know he was supposed to visit TCU this weekend but they canceled his visit.

Temple OL Melvin Siani told me he is working on setting up a visit next week to KU. Right now he is on a visit to Oklahoma State.

There are several teams trying to get South Carolina TE Connor Cox on campus and the Jayhawks were the first. He is expected to leave KU and go to Michigan State and then North Carolina State could get the next visit.

These are a few nuggets I have been working on this morning and will update as I get more.

Obviously no one has the answer to this but just going off of how many guys we are offering. Any thoughts from the board and @JK ?

Qb- None. Staff must feel good about what they have after JD in Marshall and McCombs.
Rb- Got Williams so we are probably done there.
WR- WR and LB are the two spots where we for sure where we need some immediate help. I’m thinking we see no less than 2 and probably 3.
TE- I’ve lost track of who/if we’ve offered herr but doesn’t seem like a spot we are going after very hard.
OT- We have Harper in the mix now. Does Tanner still have a spot if he wants it? I’d love to take both these two. Northwestern just got a commit from a huge OT from Liberty.
OG- I think we take at least 1 interior guy. Mayberry would be a solid add.
C- 0
DE- At least 1. Really, really hoping we can land Kitchen.
DT- Keys in the mix. Probably done here.
LB- I think we take 2. Kamara already signed. Sipps is the other guy I really want. Roussette seems like a solid player too.
CB- Maybe 2?
S- Have Rawls. Are we done here?

Been a shit ton of sightings of large drones around the U.S. .

Was watching some more Planet Earth the other day and they got to talking about pandas. Those fat tubs of shit only eat bamboo despite it having no nutritional value, they stay too high in the mountains in the winter because they only eat bamboo, and the stupid fvckers don't even know how to log the cabin if ya know what I mean. Why are we trying to save these mouthbreathers? Evolution says pandas are stupid pieces of shit and we should turn them into coats.

Heard this morning NATO has 40k troops they can deploy. Where and how long would it take to deploy them?? Thx

I know we are in the final four here--do we have any real feel for where he is headed? Saw the crystal balls on him were migrating a bit away from BYU, but I would still be really surprised if he doesn't end up there.

Is JD returning actually bad for recruiting the WR position due to his play last year? We only threw for 202 ypg (88th in the country) and we didn’t have a receiver top 700 yards.

How many of the players don't find a new home.

I chickened out not getting on the Mamba with her at Worlds of Fun and ruined the whole thing. I have an irrational fear of roller coasters. She was never flirty again.

Hbu?

Wow...https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/other/college-football-program-loses-30th-player-to-transfer-portal-this-offseason/ar-AA1vPDUU?ocid=winpstoreapp&cvid=dff24526ba414ff293eb4c0d0ea7de20&ei=54

$1MM seems to be the mandated tribute. Zuckerberg (Meta) and Altman (OpenAI) have contributed that amount to the slush fund AKA inauguration fund.

Bezos (Amazon) contributed the same. He learned his lesson from refusing to bend the knee the first time around and Trump retaliated by attacking Amazon's USPS deal and torpedoed the cloud contract with the Pentagon. Bezos rightfully learned his lesson that you must pay the tribute.

Zuck learned his lesson too, last time Trump said he should be jailed. He too, learned the price tag of resisting. The exortion is much costlier.
