"How do you feel about the depth of RB in the Big XII looks this year, considering it's a passing league?"

Very good. Talking up Sewo and OSU's tailbacks.

 

[TxFrog1999]

"Big XII perception has increased nationally, has that translated on the recruiting trail?"

I don't know why the Big XII has talk about instability, you should have been through some of the conferences I've been a part of.

-- Quick staging note, after Bowlsby talked up the Vicis helmet deal the helmets on the stage are Riddell.

Haha. Yeah, I laughed when he said that. Perfect response.

"What was the preparation like to play OU twice in one month?"

That was probably the best or second best offenses I've seen. The loss in that game probably cost us a NY6 game, but we had a second chance to beat them.

Orange Bloods - "You don't get a ton of 5 and 4 stars, but you get a lot out of the guys you do sign, how do you evaluate and develop them?"

First, that's your rating not my rating. It's not where you start but where you finish. Doesn't do you good to get a great athlete if its a square peg in a round hole.

Coach talking up TCU's drive to get STUDENT athletes that want to be in the classroom, get a degree, and stick around and help out in the community.

 

[TxFrog1999]

10% is play calling, 90% is managing students.

"Welcome coach, thoughts the upcoming season?"

Great to be back in my hometown. Glad to welcome Jeff Long and we think he'll fall in love with KU like we have.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Moving forward looking at this season, we're eager to see the impact our 26 seniors and 17 returning starters will have on this team.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Our vision is to build a championship program that stands the test of time.

 

[TxFrog1999]

Media questions...

"What expectations does Jeff Long have for the program?"

We've had great talks, most of which are introductory in nature. We've both been on vacation but have communicated quite a bit. We've talked about vision and how he wants to create championship programs across the board at KU. He is completely behind us.

 

[TxFrog1999]

-- Not a whole lot of major insights, just talk about stadium upgrades.

"Talk to us about the QB position?"

QB is still a competition. We're going to narrow that down to 2 real quick, but will prepare all three QBs. No timeline, but will be done quickly.

Coach Bro running a bit late so we're being subjected to a nonstop loop of the Tech fight song... kill me now.
