⚡ CFB Dashboard

- Spring football practice expected March 24, Tuesday after spring break.

- KU spring game TBD, likely light practice at RCP if held; last Saturday practice 4/11, final practice 4/17.

- Kory showed elite physical traits in spring, fought through contact making plays at LHS.

- Kevin leaving the pod for KU job he always wanted; exciting move for him.

- KU safety room has more Big 12-capable players than last year; Alexander out, Gibbs/Ellis/Cummings-Coleman in non-contact jerseys.

- OL: Swain would you guess Bonke and Paul would be given the chance to battle it out for the center spot and maybe bring in a third guy behind Paul.

- Kansas' biggest offensive variable is quarterback: Cole Ballard, Isaiah Marshall and Rice transfer Chase Jenkins all remained in the competition after spring without anyone clearly taking control. - The offense is expected to revisit option-oriented concepts while adding wrinkles from Kotelnicki's time at Penn State, but the staff must tailor that approach to personnel that no longer includes Jalon Daniels or Devin Neal. - Pickett in the slot and McMillan outside form the trusted top receiver pairing; Middle Tennessee transfer Nazie Cox and Keaton Kubecka are among the candidates for the next role. - The line retained Clements but still has three open starting spots, creating significant continuity risk around an unsettled quarterback.

- Nickels has WR talent and body; interested in QB competition as summer topic.

- Ballard limited mobility game manager; staff inexcusable for not developing QB better than him; McComb saw opportunity elsewhere.

- Spring practice will clarify depth chart competition at multiple positions.

- KU D-line looks good if ends stop dropping into coverage; Harris and Brinkley key pass rushers.

- Playing multiple QBs rarely works; one starter should emerge to avoid confusion.

- Miller has no guaranteed P4 starter spot; must compete for minutes.

- QB/LB: Spring practice is over for Kansas and the players are in their final weeks of weight lifting before the end of the spring semester.

- KU safety much improved top-to-bottom; cornerback hasn't stepped forward significantly.

- Intel: INTERVIEW: Kansas Football Head Coach Lance Leipold Chats Ball with Early Break @CoachLeipold @steven_sipple @Coach_BillBusch @937JakeSorensen

- Graves is reverse Flory—excellent offensive scorer/shooter/creator but has real defensive limitations.

- Flory fun defender but lacks back-to-basket game Self needs; conflicting on his departure.

- Alex Bray gained 10-12lbs offseason (252-254 to 263-264 morning weight, targeting 268 playing weight).

- Tre White's shot selection/selfishness late vs CBU was horrendous; Self needs timeout reckoning if repeated. - DP deferred too much. - Refs favored CBU narrative; dangerous no-call on Flory.

- Stokes could play both 3 and 4 depending on Tiller and portal moves; improved shot unlocks paint pairing options with Flory/Mbiya.

- Pretty sure Goode recruited before portal opened; in-person meetings worth monitoring.

- Intel: We thought Udeh was staying and he hit the portal on like the last day and we ended up with Parker Braun lol.

- Zac Barton at Kansas/SDSU built on discipline, details, elite special teams; Broyles Award nominee.

- Willis resembles Eddie George/Darren McFadden at RB; Amachree looks elite as true frosh like Devin Neal.

- Intel: Kenny was ballin’ out 7 tackles 1 INT 1 sack @Kennylogan23 x @GoElks

- Practices lack full speed and long breaks, likely triggers for cramps.

- LB: I wonder if Les miles would also like to take over the football program

- Tiller portal talk likely money-based; question about fit/coaching dissatisfaction.

- Tiller's first-round odds extremely low despite potential 3-4 portal exits this year.

- Similar behavior occurs everywhere with different trappings, not unique to that location.

- Agents exploring Flory's value mid-season reasonable; if we re-sign, need scorers and interior D-line help around him.

- Take portal info with grain of salt during season; stuff changes fast.

- Intel: No, he’s continuing to way his options and considering a return for his sophomore season.

- Early portal stars signed immediately; later visitors use multiple visits for leverage and agent-driven negotiations.

- Practice: The fact that a man this size is named "Smalls" makes me an instant fan.

- Intel: My wife and I call him “El Portal” Jackson.

- Kohl already gone; EJ, Samis, McDowell transfer likely; Tiller probable; hard to keep all three bigs if upgrading portal.

- Intel: IN before we bash our coach for allowing a player to transfer that we didn't want to keep.

- Pick/market: we’re going to get Zuby’d here.

- Diallo's passing and rim game strong; weak 3-point numbers offset by good shot form. - Better than Melvin.

- Kohl athletic with nice release; needs composure; earned starting spot, deserves another year.

- Portal is like Harry Potter train station but schools instead of trains.

- Program needs quick boost with big commitments; roster building seems off-track.

- Intel: It seems like KU started working the portal on April 7 while other schools already had multiple offers out.

- KU has roster spots; Christian Reeves good for practice at minimum.

- Intel: Different kind of bad, but a helluva lot better take than Bashir.

- Intel: Gotta send Swain out of the country next portal season
