“We’re gonna go on to some different things, ask them to get deeper,” Gill says, sounding more like a youth minister than a football coach. “Men gotta talk. I want them to talk about deeper issues more than just ‘I like football, I’m this fall, I’m that fast.’ If we don’t communicate, we’re not gonna be successful on the football field.”
With Gill at the podium, KU’s media day session didn’t approach football details. It was about getting to know the new man in charge, and Gill relayed a story from his time at Buffalo that gets to the heart of why he’s here. He was recruiting a player from a broken home, and Gill could sense tension between the boy’s mother and his father and stepmother.
“Long story short,” Gill says, “we all prayed together. In less than 48 hours, they were talking with each other. They felt good about each other. They thanked me, thanked us, for helping them mend that together. That to me, that’s what college football is all about.”

No, that's what that guy with long hair, Birkenstocks, and an acoustic guitar is all about.

can anyone else picture the backup players making a tunnel with their arms for the starters to run through when they come off the field. you know, like the parents did in kindergarten soccer?
-
Turner Gill is going to make this football season less sucky (still sucky)
-
It's going to be really difficult for my dad to not pull for Gill.
-
We're owned in the recruiting now that KU can use the, "Sign with us(touch the screen) and you will be healed!" evangelist recruiting promise....
-
I watched his press conference yesterday, and I think he said "developing young men" about 34 times :eek:

Holy crap, have I been all wrong about "what college football is all about". Bill, make note, you need to be able to "mend that together" when you recruit from a "broken" family.

Does it kill you inside to have to pretend to like that guy as KU's head coach?
-

Srsly. I'm so happy that he's KU's coach. It's like taking shots during your own intervention.
-
They dodge OU and UT. He should win 4 conf games at a minimum or it is a huge failure.

Still trying to figure out what Stereotypical Football Guy (according to the Rev) means by "I'm this fall."

Great point by goEMAW legend Levi Wolters:
By all accounts, Gill is a good person. No one ever came close to saying RP is/was. They did say Ron was well-spoken, though

From a journalist's perspective sometimes the "f" key can look a lot like the "t" key. It's one of the rigors of the profession. I'd love to explain it sometime if you want to talk about it.

Sounds like Gill has serious mentor potential i hope this doesn't lessen OB's burning hate of all things KU

OB has closed the Kansas mentoring borders against greater threats. Relax. He will mentor them from Goodland to Chanute.

I'm thinking CTR. I'll mail you the sign, or better yet, have Scary Smart's mom do it. She has stencils and good markers and nice jugs too

I have seen OB's Mentor Map on his wall complete with pushpins of "locations mentored"

Greg Sharpe was on BITB's show this afternoon discussing each North team's prospects. When it came to Turner Gill and ku, he described Gill's discussions at the Big 12 Media Days as "strange" because he only talked about building relationships, and nothing of substance. Sharpe thought Kansas fans should be disturbed at Gill's lack of discussion of the team's strengths or weaknesses, or what he sees as positives in moving towards the season.
Stanbot said Braden Wilson is an undiscussed gem for the 'Cats, and said he was better than Rock Cartwright (which is high praise being compared to a longtime NFL fullback).

At least the home crowd sizes will be the same for him.

Gill and co. are just killing it on the recruiting trail right now. Two new commitments last night from guys who switched their commitments from Iowa and Nebraska to KU.

The talking point was BCS bowl wins.

Just looking forward to the day when Ben can pull his self esteem up by the bootstraps and ride out all the storms . . . instead of taking his little ball and going home every time there's a bump in the road or a DOJ/IRS/FBI/NCAA investigation of ku. You can do it Ben, it's time to man up. :thumbsup:

KU went 19-16 vs. the North since Lew took over in '03. Dax conveniently blames Mangino for his first year in the program when he took over Terry Allen's f*ck up. Of all the Big 12 North teams, KU is the only team to play in a BCS bowl.
:lol:

BMW- You got some absolute BEASTS in your recruiting class.. Gill is bringing in the talent.

The success of ku's football program will go a long ways to confirming or debunking the existence of the Christian God.

Starting LB Huldon Tharp has a foot injury. Will Gill's praying bring him back before the season starts!?!? :dunno: :ohno:

I'm astonished that no one noticed the amazing stylish tie that Gill is wearing--no jayhawks or crap like that. A huge step up for our country cousins to the east.

Just think, this song will most likely be played during KU football warm-ups.

God, that's three and a half minutes I'll never get back. Wait maybe I'll get them back in afterlife; OK Jesus Chris! :flush:

Comparing Braden Wilson and Rock is just plain stupid. Totally different types of players. Wilson is much more like Lazetich. And Rock is not a longtime NFL fullback. He's played tailback much more than fullback in the NFL. (And he's a special teams stud.)
-
Gill added two 3 star kids who each had one other BCS offer. Not exactly something to get all excited about. Good news for Ben though, the KU class saw a jump to an average of 1.93 stars!!
