2nd to Nunn

OUch

I forsee a changing of the guard in the receiver core. The young guys all seem way too talented to keep off the field. Holt, Brooks, Paul and Henry all seem like they could be pretty exciting players. The veterans like Swift and Peterson will still get their catches, but we know what we can expect from them. I am more excited to see what the young guys are capable of.

Another thing that no one has mentioned is that NFL teams may shy away from him because of the baggage. Like it or not, MO has had a lot of problems recently...that may scare some teams off.

Perhaps we only had a spot or 2 D lineman, and he needed to commit last weekend if he wanted to come to NU? Is Bo purposely taking a smaller class this year so he'll have some extra for next year for JC transfers and early enrollees? I was always under the impression that there was a set number of scholarships available per year, and that it didn't matter if you had roll-over from the year before. I could be wrong though. No. You have a certain number of scholarships that you can use total. Most programs try to use about 25 a year so that they will never have huge classes of important players all leaving at once. If you use 28 this year, you may only use 22 next year...for example

hahah NO......there are only 2 or 3 guys in any given year(if even that many) that are in Percy Harvin's class. That kid is the real deal.

Later!

Where did you hear that from?!?!?! Please don't be getting my hopes up! Rivals By the way, on 1620 the zone they said that Compton talked to Papuchis and he cleared everything up ACTUALLY he said that he talked to coach Ekeler and told him that everything was bogus. He never called the nebraska staff and decommitted. He will not be speaking to any media members until his visit. He is quite frustrated with the whole recruiting process.

Whatever he did may have been wrong...but it helped him move up in the coaching ranks. How do you get in trouble at KU and have to leave, yet, end up at LSU?

hahaha...TO is a politician....obviously a joke...a sad, but true joke

maybe we could use someone with a little attitude

Mike Minter....EASILY my favorite ever #2...Ralph Brown

Todd Mcshay from espn said he thought before the year Sam would probably be a second round pick. He said on the radio the other day he thinks he is still an early second day pick.

Who cares if he doesn't have the arm? Before the Texas game, I have a hard time remember any time we threw the ball DEEP down the field. Even in the texas game, those passes to Swift weren't deep bombs or anything. Ganz should have been playing the whole time.

The fact that we lose Bowman, Jones, AND Grixby scares the hell out of me. ESPESCIALLY since I am yet to see Blue, Prince or any of the other young corners playing any significant minutes. I strongly suspect that will become a problem next year.....esp if the pass rush next year is as horrid as it has been this year.

I don't mean to be rude, but this type of thinking doesn't make sense. Your main argument in this sentence is that since KU "spanked" A&M by...........8 points, then KU must be a good team. You also add more evidence of KU being good by saying that since A&M beat NU at Memorial Stadium, this makes KU a better team. What!? In order for this argument to hold any water, NU would have to be a great team with a great W-L record...NU has neither of these. Following your logic, since A&M beat NU, and KU beat A&M, then this means we need to respect KU........ I wish I knew what you were smoking, because I would like some... I want them to beat a good team. Sure they faced three okay teams...but they barely won those games. These games were all close; they could have gone either way. One interception from the opposing team and KU may not be undefeated this year still. I will give them credit when they do something significant. And saying they are better than us isn't saying much at all. I'm pretty sure Baylor could beat our asses, should we respect them too? First of all....Did you watch the KU - A&M game? Do you remember when A&M came into memorial stadium and ran all over us? The point isn't that they ran all over US....it is that they ran all over us in OUR STADIUM. KU held them to under 100 yards rushing IN KYLE FIELD. I know that their schedule is a joke. They certainly played some slouches at the beginning of this year, certainly no argument from me there, but their first 4 games they won by an average of 48 points. But Jeez, what else can you really ask of the players. They don't make the schedule, they just play the games. They have done all that you could possibly ask of them. As far as your argument about "you want them to beat a good team" A: They went to Manhattan and beat K-State B: They went to Boulder and beat Colorado C: They went to College Station and beat A&M Last I checked it was pretty difficult to win in the big XII on the road. And I want to make this clear....I AM DEFINITELY NOT sitting here trying to tell you that I think KU is a national title contender, or even that I think they can compete with OU(because I think OU will stomp them). I am simply saying, lets give them credit right now, because THEY DESERVE IT. As far as your argument about "you want them to beat a good team" A: They went to Manhattan and beat K-State B: They went to Boulder and beat Colorado C: They went to College Station and beat A&M Last I checked it was pretty difficult to win in the big XII on the road.

WOW can't believe I forgot Niles Paul...and I really wanted to list Chris Brooks.....but I didn't know if he would qualify since he has been here for a while

I know that a lot of our veteran players are not going to be playing this weekend, and while it is definitely going to make for a difficult weekend, I am very excited to see some of our younger players finally getting some time. Since their redshirts have been burned, and we aren't playing for anything.....I think this is goign to be a fun game to watch. Javario started last week and looked good, we will get to see a lot more of wortman and washington at the linebacker spots. Thenarse is finally getting the time he deserves in the secondary. Ganz is getting his shot. We have been seeing more of Helu and Castille. Now, if we can just get a little more of Prince, Blue, Will Henry, and Meno....anyone I am forgetting?

that girl is my hero. She is dominating the boys!

anyone else a fan of Jamaican Callahan?

Normally I would 100% agree with you that 40 times for linemen are pointless. But the difference between Baker and the rest of the guys is so large......I would say it warrants some extra excitement. Sheesh, our D-Line is so bad, I hope he plays defense.

Expect to see a lot of Wortman. and HOPEFULLY Latravis Washington. I have also heard that Dillard will not be starting due to a bad quad....should be interesting. GBR

He is a four-time finalist for the Naismith Coach of the Year Award (2000, 2001, 2002, 2003), was named National Coach of the Year by The Sporting News in 2000, and the Big 12 Coach Year in 2006.

I do like their basketball team, and they are a lot of fun to watch. I think of them as basically the same as Nebraska Football. Powerhouse programs that have consistently been in the top 10....while recruiting the majority of their athletes from other parts of the country.

Roy Williams(at Kansas) recruited offensive players and built his teams to run what he calls a "secondary break." Bill Self recruits the most athletic kids he can get, because he wants them to play defense and use their defense to get easy buckets.

Best AD in all of the nation? Is this the same AD that just gave Bill Self a contract extension? Bill Self is doing to KU basketball what Bill Clownahan has done to Husker Football. They're a mirror image of one another. Both can recruit like hell, but neither have any idea what to do with them once they get there. It's amazing how Illinois suddenly got tremendously better the year after Self left for KU. Keep telling yourself you have an amazing AD. Slowest D in the Big 12? Define slowest because we have some guys that run some pretty fast 40's on our D. We may look tremendously slow on the field, but I think this has a lot more to do with being out of position and scheme than anything else. I hope KU does represent the North this year, and I've always quietly rooted for them. I still remember Glenn Mason going for 2 instead of kicking the PAT because he either wanted to win the game or lose the game rather than screwing up TO's chance of playing for the NC with the game ending in a tie. I would love to see Mangino duke it out with former boss Bob Stoops in the Big 12 title game. This is probably one of the most uneduacted and ignorant posts I have read. Bill Self doing the same thing as Callahan? What a joke. Bill self is one of VERY FEW coaches, to take THREE teams to the elite 8. Don't forget that Bill Self(a bad coach, according to you) took FREAKING TULSA to the elite 8. The illinois team that was soo good was ALL Bill Self's players. They did well right after he left yes....but where are they now?? They are nothing compared to what they were headed during his tenure. Talk to KU fans, and most of them LOVE BILL SELF. He (a DEFENSIVE coach) took Kansas to the Elite 8 in his first year.....with a team built COMPLETELY for offense. That is called adaptability.....and adaptability is one trait that all great coaches share. KU's AD is undoubtedly one of the best AD's in the country.
