Give him his fucking money. I don’t care if you have to pay him like a coordinator or even a head coach. Money is the one thing we have.

This is kind of where I am. Get him to over $500K. He's definitely worth it with how he goes about things in recruiting and production. Herbert has been sneaky good with Hull coaching him up as well.

If you are coming to Kansas you most likely didn't have the best options in front of you when you picked a school. Suddenly after 1 year you now have a NC coach, without having to transfer or without having to fight for playing time at another school. Why would someone that came to Kansas want to leave that situation?

That's most everyone but the two guys I mentioned.

Pooka's issue wasn't that the SEC schools didn't think he could play it was that no one thought he'd get qualified, and I'm still not sure how we pulled that off.

Harris, of course, was offered by all the big schools, and has now showed he can play at this level. He came here for one reason: Hull.

Fair enough. As several have mentioned, it would seem odd to sit out now after you consider what has opened up here at Kansas, but if it had been another year of Beatty and probably 3-4 wins next year I could see the desire to transfer then.

Getting Miles was crucial in preventing a Louisiana exodus.

I agree that there isn't much point in leaving unless you're getting no playing time here. Pooka/Harris as stud true freshmen have a rare opportunity to go to a big football school and shine on a much bigger stage. But, as jfish and you allude to: there is certainly a lot of risk in that decision as well.

Thankfully there is no longer a track to hold in all the awesome

That’s how I feel, and sense the team feels as well. Regardless of the results next season, there will be Hatter hype and spotlight to the biggest rebuilding since Budig Hall.

Les helps, but we still have to win to avoid all of the 11 am kickoffs.

I do think that those 11am kickoffs will subside this year. I think the league will want Les to get some mid-afternoon and primetime action. Still think there will be 3 or 4 games that will be 11, but won't be nearly as much as last year.

Hull made an in-house visit to the CB Russell last night. So I’m thinking he’s on the staff or else he wouldn’t be recruiting for KU.

Damn it.

Incredibly disappointing as of now. Bragg situation says to wait, but 99% of these things don't turn out that way.

Yeah a small part of me wonders about his newfound fame making him an easy target for anyone. But damnit, just remove yourself from those situations. It's not that difficult even if you're a 19 year old who is the talk of the damn city, just get away.

Like a fellow poster just told me: Camarohead is just down the street--does he not keep up with what's going on over there?
