Cheesy Mustache QB might make an appearance.

If CK x2 and Avery don’t take us to a Natty. We’re never making one.

Don’t do this to yourself. We should be very happy with one Big 12 championship from him, and even that is very hard to do.

i’d love and somewhat expect to see at least two big 12’s and one national championship appearance

Man, I love him so much. Someone needs to tell him that he can and should be getting paid to do that.

I don't necessarily need a championship out of Avery, but I would really like a playoff appearance.  I think it's pretty achievable in the new format and would potentially be achievable in the current one.

We will probably be going to the new playoffs every year.

Our recruiting is still like 8th out of 10.

We need to do better.

We’re a year away from competing for conference title = competing for a playoff spot. We’ll get there. Heck I’d be surprised if half the Big 12 doesn’t land there at some point over the first 10 years of the expanded format.

Last I checked we are 29th in rivals, that’s worse than 7 other big 12 teams?

They show us 7/10.

On3 has us at 8

247 has us at 7

I think this is a great class for us. They need to sustain this level though if they expect to have high level of success like we want.

We can - and have - won despite being 7th-10th in recruiting rankings in the conference. The difference with this class is that while we're still 7th-8th, the gap is much, much narrower than it was when our classes were ranked in the 40s-60s and everyone else was inside the top 30.

If we can recruit classes inside the top 30-35 consistently, we're going to be very well positioned to compete for league titles/playoff spots on an annual basis.

Part of what makes this special is because he doesn't get paid.  Why ruin it?  He'll get his payday soon enough.  Lord.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever

Yeah, it's cool that he's doing this now. It was a two sentence post that you two managed to miss the first sentence of while getting outraged.

However, the more he does this the more people will expect it. You guys ever meet a college athlete? Their time is extremely valuable. However, he needs to know that it's perfectly okay to be more protective of his time and not listen to people who will shame him when he inevitably does.

one of the weirdest things about college football fans is that they will watch 4 hours of amateur, uncompensated athletes ritually harming their brains for a cartel every saturday then turn around and say that players finally being compensated ruins the wholesomeness.

dude, we've been shipping these guys out to scott city and crap for fundraising events, autograph sessions and meet/greets with donors in MHK, open practices, *unpaid* all in an effort to make our program more flush with cash, STFU. if a player wants to charge $75 an hour to show up at your dumb kids birthday party and that bothers you then take it up w/ capitalism, not sure what to tell you

if a college football player came to my birthday party, I would give him a bag of cash (counterfeit) and then probably talk about sports and video games.  after that, we’d go pull some pelts from the bar.  100% real talk here, no bs.

I read your first sentence but maybe you didn't read all of mine?  The kid is still in high school and did a nice thing, period.  It is great to see and I appreciate your love for him.  When he gets to college and starts having to do fundraising events etc etc, by all means pay the kid.  There was hardly any outrage but I know how you like to make things more dramatic than they are.
