And that was an @approxinfinity sighting!

I feel like I just spotted Sasquatch
Or the Loch Ness!

@approxinfinity said in Jalon Daniels sighting:

@rockchalkjayhawk does this speak to how poor our last OC was?

Oooh good question! Maybe so. We’ll see how that plays out with Marshall i suppose.

Jalen has all the physical ability. If he can keep himself from making simple mistakes he’s got a chance.

Wow, a road win for the Bucs no less. I was expecting a Dallas blowout.

Didn’t watch, but Jalen’s stats looked clean.

Ha, well what the heck. My this week players in the rotation:

PG Melvin Council Jr. -- backed up by Taylen Kinney

G Leroy Blyden Jr. -- backed up by Kohl Rosario

G/F Tre White -- backed up by Dennis Parker Jr.

G/F Tyran Stokes -- backed up by Keanu Dawes and Davion Adkins

F/C Keanu Dawes -- backed up by Paul Mbyia and Christian Reeves

Of course this lineup could go big, but then somebody would have to hit the pine.

The guy getting hosed the most: Davion Adkins. I wanna see him play lots of backup minutes. Need a bouncy athlete like him learning on the floor. Block some shots and just be an athlete.

The guy getting hosed the second most: Take your pick ... Paul Mbyia or Christian Reeves.

My thoughts, or maybe my hopes:

-- Every excuse i heard about the last few teams included "oh, xxx player was just tired. thats why we lost. Self just wore down his players with too many minutes." So, i'm praying that Self realizes he can't wear players into the ground every year and hope to succeed. IF he plays 10 guys (ha), i think we can be very competitive with the mix of players we have. The drop off between starters and bench guys isn't massive. But, TBD with guys like. Kinney.

-- Kohl: This is the big question mark for me. Has he improved enough to not be a liability on defense? Can he really shoot? He hustles of course, and has the potential with his size to be a defensive troublemaker ... but will his footwork allow him to be? Does he have a decent basketball IQ? TBD this year. hope so!

My fears:

-- Self will once again tighten his rotation to like seven or eight guys. There will be angry dudes causing team locker room issues.

-- Council and White will eventually by ruled ineligible. that will eff up this team beyond belief. And ruin trust between Self and the remaining squad.

-- If we go with the smaller front court lineup, bigger teams will take advantage down low. Dawes is not the ideal C.

-- TBD how Stokes plays or thinks about playing defense. I hope he commits, as Self prefers of course.

-- Somebody (Parker Jr) will leave the team mid season.

Ha, I’ve been wanting to discuss the starting lineup for sure, but I’m gonna wait some more until this legal nonsense sorts itself. Who knows what next week will bring…

I’m all for Hill returning if he’s healthy. A couple months back he said he still has no strength in that leg. Hope he’s getting stronger and will be ready soon.

Said Reid after the game:

“Before you guys ask, that’s between Kingsley and I,” Reid said. “But we’ll figure it out and down the road, we’ll be better as a team for it and Kingsley will be better for it.”

Odd. Must have got caught with hookers in Vegas at 4 a.m. or something.

@DCHawker said in KU ROSTER 2026-27:

@crimsonblu22 Just a few highlights. I really hope he can step it up. But for 4 years in college with 4 different schools and conferences, he's been basically the same player. His numbers last year were nearly the same as his sophomore year (better 3pt%).

I like him and I like Council. But the fact is that with both of them and the #2 in the draft, we just weren't very good.

I was trying to figure out why Caliendo was in at left guard today...all i could find on a Chiefs site:

The Chiefs benched Kingsley Suamataia in Week 4 and went with Mike Caliendo at left guard for the entire game. No details were provided as of press time, other than it was a "coaching decision." No matter the reason, the hits on Patrick Mahomes via Caliendo's path should have made it clear that he was not the answer out there. The Chiefs traded for Josh Ezeudu before the season began and kept Hunter Nourzad to also provide interior depth. Caliendo's ceiling is so low that it's hard to understand why the Chiefs wouldn't go with anyone else in that role.

ugly. oh man. Does Kelce have any kids? May need to recruit em to play WR this year.

Yea @kjayhawks2.0 sad but true.

Flashes of this arm and athleticism, then bone headed picks and mistakes.

Hoping he can put it together.

Yea, this seems to be the year to expand your rotation for sure.

I count 11 guys who should play decent minutes.

That leaves out Trent Perry, Luke Barnett, Atticus Richmond, Will Thengvall and Grant Mordini.

The others seemingly deserve PT.

He's had some positive moments, but he's showing his JD colors ... two picks so far in the first half.

Nice 3rd down toss!

I guess that means neither Dajuan nor KJ were available.

well, it's nice to get points, but how many times can ya shoot yourself in the foot on the goal line with penalties?

@stoptheflop said in Jayhawks in London:

Daniels being 5/10 21yds is disappointing. He's missed two open receivers. But, this is a good game to try to work out those problems.

Wishful thinking it was Daniels?

Just cuz I’m too lazy to start a new thread…

That 15 yard penalty on KUs first scoring drive was horrendous. Unsportsmanlike like conduct for blocking a guy running right at you? Cmon.

@mayjay said in 2026-2027 NFL Season:

@rockchalkjayhawk @kjayhawks2.0 Seems the NFL has a different view of Benson: named AFC Offensive Rookie of the Month for September. Walker named AFC Offensive Player of the Month.

I’d love for him to be awesome all year! But I’d prefer it if the other LT can get back on the field soon.
