I really hope they perform better. The last thing we need is to go 1-12 or worse 0-12 when the point of bringing these guys on was because they can help right away. They definitely look talented I just hope they all make it to campus and end up playing.

Also, for anyone interested I did a write about how I think KU’s 2008 Orange Bowl team would fair against this years Orange Bowl team. And I was pleasantly surprised at how well they’d match up.

a little optimism never hurt! I'm skeptical too, but I also know I don't really know the end of this story, so what's wrong with a little hope sprinkled in. Nobody can argue Tom has been a homer for this staff, he's torn them up pretty good

"Beaty has been consistent through the years in stating the belief that teams loaded with fourth-and-fifth-year seniors are the toughest to beat, but facing long odds at keeping his job beyond 2018, Beaty recruited mostly players who could help right away, thus guaranteeing the 2021 roster will lack fourth-year seniors and the 2022 squad will be shy of fifth-year seniors."

I like how Keegan slipped this paragraph in toward the end.

Basically, Beaty is coaching for his job next year. If he wins and saves his job then we can look forward to more losing season ahead. Yippee!

eta: I honestly do hope that we win next year and that winning translates into better recruiting and more winning. It's just very hard to channel the optimism at this point.

I remember having such high hopes for Quel Combs and Jenkins-Moore, Kevin Short, and Chris Martin...

That was a brutal stretch watching that group fall apart piece by piece so quickly.

what is with the color combinations in the rows, i am confused?

we will lose to nicholls state game 1 and beatty will be gone.

"Nicholls graduated only 16 seniors from the 2017 FCS playoff team, which finished 8-4 on the year and was ranked as high as No. 22. All 10 All-Southland honorees were juniors and sophomores."

dont want it to happen, just sayin'.

Let's just say for the sake of argument we beat Nicholls State but we struggle going into the 4th quarter leading only 24 to 20 or only win 24 to 20 what would that say about Beaty, his coaching and his future? Keep him? Fire him? Lose to Ohio then fire him?

Oh sorry Bryson Central Michigan. Are your infantile feelings soothed now. Im sorry yes lm not a real fan because l didn't memorize next years schedule. Have fun on your date with Coach Beaty. Are you guys engaged yet?

I guess you think you are such a true fan because you know every players jock size. Which players pic do you have under your pillow tonight Bryson?

Lets pretend Kevin said @ CMU and then answer that, BS. instead of insulting him. jfc relax.
we're going to be terrible, its just reality. bet against in vega$ until they do something to make us think twice. As long as Beaty is in charge, you bet against. hope it changes soon, though. RCJH

At the end of the day we’re all rooting for the same team. It sucks to see us continue to lose and be at the bottom of the Big 12 but the least we could do as fans is get along. I know I’m guilty as hell as I’ve lashed out at a few people, namely Bryce. But the reason he responds like he does is because he’s passionate about KU too. I think what this article says most is “Beaty is the coach, the recruits he has are good, or at least have that potential. Let’s hope for the best and stand behind him.”

If any one of these Juco DB's coming in this year cannot beat out Hasan Defense and they should never have been on the team in the first place, if that guy is anywhere on the field I guarantee you we are going to have a losing season.

No that wasn't me. Let's get something straight here. The whole team is deficienr not just one position but Hasans consistently made the same mistakes game after game maybe its coaching or not being able to develop players its not just Hasan but game after game he's getting torched. Im sorry if my opinion doesn't jibe with everyone elses rose colored glasses view.

Oh please Jim. Open Open your eyes. Lol you call me ignorant?

Name another power 5 school he would start for. If the receiver runs a slant he consistently cuts to the outside instead of inside to follow the receiver but by the time he adjust he's 10 yards behind the receiver. Take a look at the first play of the Texas game who was covering the receiver on that TD? Oh let me guess. Do you think that it is a coinsidence most teams throw to his side of the field on 3rd down? He plays 10 yards off the ball because hes afraid of getting beat deep. Then the team just throws it short for a first down. Im sorry he stinks, he wouldn't play for any other P5 program most less start. Every team in the BIG 12 picks on him because he just doesn't have the talent lm sorry if my opinion hurts your precious feelings and doesn't go along with your narrative of him to the point that your only argument is to call me ignorant.

I certainly can’t fault Beaty for going to the Juco ranks for immediate help to try to save his job next year. There is every reason to believe that his juco guys will make it to the field unlike those signed by Weis.

I also am confident that Beaty would be able to translate wins into recruiting gains better than Mangino. However winning games next year is still a mighty big if.

Where is Samson Faifili?
