Talking to a lot of people they expect more players to enter after their bowl games.

Then there is expected to be another big number in mid to late January and here's why. There are a lot of players in the portal right now who are May grads.

So here is what the smart ones will do. They will go to their first day of class which locks them into aid and scholarship. So once they attend class they are taking care of on all financial fronts.

Then they can enter the portal and not have to attend any spring workouts and still get their stipends and scholarship.

KU -10.5

I getting twitters but not downloading so I can see. Does anybody know how to fix.
Thanks

Getting bought.. Maybe we can hit up Cliff for some stadium funding lol

I know they will get the aid and they should but maybe he shouldn't be so quick to deny aid to other areas in the future. Very doubtful I am sure.

Remember when some JSlantsters compared Brannen Greene to the next Klay Thompson... anyways what/where is he now?
Other notable KU players that people care to update ?

Yesterday, Desmond Claude, the 6-foot-5, 190-pound point guard from Putman Science Academy in Oakdale, Conn., took to Twitter to announce that he'd received a scholarship offer from Bill Self and Kansas. Currently, Claude, the No. 129 ranked player in the 2022 class, has received scholarship offers from the likes of Kansas, Boston College, Boston University, Bryant, Butler, California, Creighton, Kansas State, Louisville, Marquette, UMASS, Memphis, Minnesota, Notre Dame, Pittsburgh, Providence, Rhode Island, Rutgers, Seton Hall, Siena, Xavier, Illinois, South Carolina, Wisconsin, and others.

According to Claude, a three-star prospect, he's taken official visits to Louisville, Rutgers, Xavier, and South Carolina. He also took an unofficial visit to Boston College back in June. Currently, he has one official visit remaining and plenty of options to consider.

Just moments ago, I exchanged a few text messages with Desmond Claude and have the latest update on his recruitment.

"The zoom visit with Kansas went well," said Desmond Claude. "Coach Self says there is a good opportunity (at Kansas) and he wants a big PG. Everything was sounding good on the zoom call. The zoom call was with Coach Self and Coach Case. Coach Case and the coaching staff have seen me play, but Coach Self hasn't seen me play (in-person) yet. Coach Self has seen me on film a lot tho. I have one visit left and it's possible, very possible, that I visit Kansas."

#8 in this week's coaches poll.

I’m hoping it takes on a festival atmosphere to inspire the students with an outdoor concert, carnival on campus or whatever it takes to boost support for the team. A “today only” discount for family season tickets would be nice. Apparently recruiting will still be in progress, so it needs to be a quality event.

They're starting frontcourt is big:
6'8 260
6'10 215
6'9 215

Those three start and play between 25-30 mpg. Trying to learn more about they're playing style but this would be a great game for Jalen and Dave to return to form from league play last year. If not, we might struggle with their size. Hopefully we can use a quickness and speed advantage?

He is quoted in an article about his commitment that he picked Buffalo to play for Taiwo Onatolu.

10-4 KC with 3 games to go
9-4 Titans (play @Steelers Sunday)
9-5 NE after losing to Colts 27-17 Saturday (Taylor's 67 yard TD run with 2:01 left clinches game)

At stake:
Home field advantage throughout the playoffs PLUS
1st ROUND BYE for top team (EDIT: per below, went from top 2 byes to only top 1 last year)

Titans own the heads-to-head competition, so KC needs to win out and have someone (@Steelers, 49ers, @Dolphins and/or @Texans) beat Titans to break the potential tie and get the top seed.

So get out your Terrible Towels!
(Fake 'em if you ain't got 'em!)
GO STEELERS!

Just watched Rangers doing air/sea drops on the Mohawk River for the last hour in 25 F temps. Cool to watch them rappel down and recover. It’s heavy woods around where they were working so the helicopter pilots have to be very cautious.

Early 2020 we had a novel (new) virus the likes of which the human race has never seen before and thus, no antibodies, arrive in America and turn into a full blown pandemic across the globe (after originating in China).

Information was and recommendations were changing constantly as scientists, doctors, and epidemiologists were getting updated (and often conflicting) data by the literal minute.

Conservatives in general thought this was nothing, many still downplay it. POTUS tried to tweet it away as a hoax, said we'd be fine by Easter ("... ready and raring to go.."), Governors were smuggling in PPE in clandestine operations while POTUS was commandeering supplies to the highest bidder and his failure to do anything at all would cost him his re-election.

Sweden and others would try to achieve herd immunity and would give up after failing miserably.

There was hope that in the summer months as things warmed up that it would burn out and at worst just be seasonal like the Flu. It became clear pretty fast that was not going to be the case.

Dr Rand Paul (specialized in corneal implants and LASIK) said he'd never get infected again because he already got it, therefore he doesn't need to mask up (and he went around mask-less when he knew he was infected before anyone else did). We have since learned that people are getting infected again multiple times (different variants that mutated, or waning immunity in general, or both).

The biggest question was when would we get a vaccine and how effective would they be. Its absolutely amazing how safe and effective these are and how fast we got these rolled out. Sadly, this is America and many Americans are still confused about how vaccines work and fall for false propaganda planted by adversarial rival nation states intent upon dividing us (and it's been working like a charm!).

Over 800,000 Americans dead. Vaccines available to health care workers and the most vulnerable since January 2021. And today nearly all of COVID deaths are unvaccinated and the ones that were, majority of them had other health issues or abnormally long amounts of exposure.

No end in sight as the latest Omicron variant is spreading. The Browns and WFT are slated to barely field a team, I doubt we'll see the end of the basketball seasons, maybe even the NFL.

The hope is that Omicron is much more mild and burn itself out. Unfortunately, we have a limited sample size and people often make the mistake of assuming infections in one population across the globe in a completely different climate will translate 100% to another population elsewhere.

We still don't know if this could mutate to something milder or go much worse. There is a series of epidemics across the globe that are ebbing and flowing. My best educated guess is that for the next two to three years we'll have big breakouts and large number of cases but it won't be as bad as what we have now. Wearing masks on public transit and airlines will now be normal for those who choose to do it, even fifty years from now.

Ultimately the vaccine manufacturers will have more specialized vaccines that contain different variants or are just more effective in general and we'll likely be getting them at least yearly with the flu shots.

My thoughts/fears about our country’s future largely align with this thread:

…. What to do now???

Do we want to have a chance at winning a Natty? Maybe it is time to break out Cam because we all know we can't depend on Dave. We won't have Braun and Agbaji next year.

I don't know the first thing about cross country skiing and probably wouldn't watch it if it were on, but ran across this on YouTube. Doesn't matter that it's cc skiing, it's Team USA in the Olympics and a call eerily reminiscent of the "LOOK AT MILLS! LOOK AT MILLS! call in '64. Sends chills down my spine.

we need big Dave to be an average big guy and insert Wilson and bring Harris off bench.
