Baseball team's murderer row of a conference schedule has finally come to a close. - 2-1 vs #3 Tennessee (12-6) - 0-3 @ #20 Georgia (9-9) - 2-1 vs #24 South Carolina (9-9) - 0-3 @ #4 Kentucky (15-3) - 2-1 vs #2 Arkansas (14-4) - 1-2 vs #1 Texas A&M (13-5) 6 series against 6 Top 25 teams, including #1, #2, #3 and #4. Remaining series all against unranked teams in the bottom 1/2 of the league, but 3 of them on the road (where we are 0-6). @ Ole Miss (6-12) @ Miss St (10-8) LSU (5-13) @ Auburn (2-16)
honestly going 7-11 against that schedule isn't awful. Kinda reminds me of the basketball team's crazy schedule to begin last season
Ed Woods PFF grades from last year. The tweet called him a safety but it looks like he played primarily outside cornerback last season. 76.8 overall 66.3 run defense 77.9 coverage Snap breakout 445 cornerback 4 slot 2 free safety 27 box 8 missed tackles, 33 tackles Pass Coverage 26/46 239 yards long of 21 2 TD/1 INT 5 pass break ups 76.3 QB Rating against

Probably come in to compete with the freshmen for the #2 corner spot. If he doesn't win it, experienced depth guy.
It is really weird to no longer implicitly trust the staff with corner evaluations because you don't have the GOAT coach any more who happened to coach DBs and loved to coach corners. I mean it's not completely out of play for our staff to recruit complete garbage corners. What is Wommack's area of expertise other than creating exciting names for flex positions on defense.
The mental anguish of having a picture with Proctor vs being seen next to that shirt is probably too much for some in the building to cope with
Torvik 2025 projections with the ability to add/subtract players is up. We are currently #45, but that's without Nelson, Sears or Wrightsell (no idea why). If you add back Nelson, Sears and Wrightsell as well as Omoruyi and remove Wague..........#5 in the country. 0.9313 overall (#5) 119.8 offense (#3) 0.955 defense (#31)
If you add back Nelson and Wrightsell as well as Omoruyi and Pedulla from VT and remove Wague..........#11 in the country. 0.9089 overall (#11) 116.6 offense (#10) 0.955 defense (#31) Just adding back Wrightsell/Nelson puts us at #20.
word is that noted Jayhawk fan (masquerading as a Bama fan) LeVar Burton has been tampering all season
yeah i guess Youngblood or Reid will start at 3 and Mallette or Wrightsell will start at 2. (assuming Sears comes back) if Sears doesn't come I think we try to find a more experienced PG to start over Holloway.
Sears, Nelson come back, Cliff comes. PG - Sears (30m) SG - Wrightsell (20m) SF - Youngblood (23m) PF - Nelson (25m) C - Cliff (22m) PG2 - Holloway (16m) SG2 - Mallette (14m) F2a - Stevenson (17m) F2b - Reid (13m) C2 - Sherrell (15m) Utility - Dioubate (5m) Just typing that out gave me a semi. I'd guess we try out best not to ride Sears like we did last year, especially with Holloway in the fold. I think we'll have more guys average more minutes (and fewer huge averages), but a lot of it will be game specific. Some days Dio may play 12 minutes, some he might play 4. Tons of positional options with that group. Our biggest issue early on might be figuring out rotations and how to deal with 11 legitimate options. Please let it happen.
Wouldn't shock me. Hard to see where he gets more than a handful of minutes next year, even if he improves on both ends.
Pretty good backup option for Cliff as a rim protecting rim running big. Elite shot block rate without fouling, very good rebound rates and shot 72% at the rim.
