'Tulsa King' on Paramount+

Stallone series about a wise guy who gets out of prison and the Family sends him to Tulsa. Not a lot of surprises but I liked the first season (9 episodes, IIRC) and I think it's been renewed for a 2nd season. Thought SS did a good job and made the character who is inherently 'bad' somewhat sympathetic, at least giving a glimpse of a different side of the character.

Check it out if you have Paramount+.

Stud WR to the Portal

Just saw that Oklahoma star WR Nic Anderson just went in the portal. He would be the absolute perfect fit for what we need from a portal WR. Hes 6'4 220lbs. He was out all of this past year with an injury (which could help UK maybe actually get him) but as a redshirt freshman he caught 38 balls for 798 yards and 10 TDs averaging 21 ypc. If Stoops is serious about actually turning this program around this is the type of guy you go get. Its probably all a moot point as he probably follows Jackson Arnold to either UGA, Auburn, LSU, etc. but this is would be a duo that could actually turn things around for next year.

Sumrall to UNC ?

While this has been mentioned as a possibility, it looks like it will happen. Sumrall to UNC and UK will be stuck with Stoops.

I am just a small potato, but I will not be contributing to UK NIL, if Stoops is still the coach for next season. However, if Sumrall is the UK coach, I will consider increasing what I gave last year.

ESPN article on Iowa State Season

Matt Campbell took a team that had fallen to 4 wins 2 years ago to the Big 12 championship game.
Article has some good insights on how he builds culture and manages the team.
Anyone in the know how much of Stoop program mirrors any of those things mentioned?

Some guys we ‘hate to lose ‘ could’ve been asked to move along

It’s known that a lazy , entitled culture has crept up in the program …confirmed by Matt Jones by staff and admin sources. The whole vibe changed , and a few players were heavy contributors. Don’t know for sure who , but we don’t know who were the worst offenders. Whoever they were , they need to move on. When we see portal entries, we don’t know conversations that were had with them the last few days. We all hated to lose ultra talented Rashad Carruth in basketball years ago…and many under Cal

All this whining and crying ain’t gonna fix it

Ok it’s been a few days. Let’s get over the butthurt of losing to Louisville and use it to motivate the fix. Crying about it isn’t going to fix the problem. We need to get everybody on the same page working towards the ultimate goal. If we lose 50 players then so be it. Let’s get some mean ass animals in here that want to work. Get rid of the boys. Gotta use NIL to find some character guys and hopefully have some leaders emerge. The next time we see another idiot at the concession stand we all need to walk over and rip his ass.

Stoops needs Tim Couch

To be part of finding and developing a QB or QBs and putting in a QB scheme that is simple to learn, blocking simply pass protection, WR route running made simple and recruit great hands not speed . Everyone becomes a 3rd down receiver on first down. Running great routes with great hand is more important than size and speed especially in college

I wonder how many drops , balls that hit players in the hand and was dropped this year?

Yesterday's darlings, #1 Kansas gets blown out by 3 loss Creighton and #2 Auburn loses to Duke.

Looks like all the whining from last night was a bit misplaced.

There's no truly elite team this year.

But to you loser-mentality posters who jumped off the ledge last night, please tell me how inferior this UK team is for barely losing on the road to a top 30, 1 loss Clemson team whereas #1 Kansas gets beaten tonight by 13 to a 3 loss Creighton team.

It's fantasy land stuff to think that there's a legit collection of title contenders that are far and away better than the rest of the contending pack.

Scholarship Breakdown

Forgive me if this has been talked about, but I keep seeing that we must have a mass exodus more than double what we already have in order to field our class and really hit the portal. I haven’t looked at the roster but did we just not have that many seniors? Because I see a lot of schools every year that bring in full classes for HS and the portal. Does anyone have some insight there?
