Thanks for making it your first listen every day. And thank you to the everydayers catching each and every show, wherever you get your podcasts and or on our YouTube page where you can like and subscribe to the show. And on today's edition of Locked On Jayhawks, we're talking fall camp, we're talking KU football, fall camps officially here. Football is right around the corner with less than a month from the first game of the season week

zero versus Fresno State, we're gonna get into the top storylines and top position battles for KU football also get into some of the latest news involving the KU TV team, as well as some KU basketball news late night in the fog and plenty to get to on today's episode of the show. Let's start with fall camp getting going today and the top storylines for KU football if it feels like it's early for KU fall camp to be starting I mean, it kind of is I guess they start

a week earlier because a week zero I would assume definitely feels like to me normally you're used to being in August but it's's a welcome sight, right? I'm not going to say no to earlier football. That's a cool part of this. And so I think the top storyline just for, I guess, like these storylines are twofold, right? They're for the season and they're for fall camp specifically. And fall camp is going to breathe into the season, but it's the availability of Jalen Daniels. Like that is the biggest to me storyline really all season. And it's one that did we put it to bed last year by Jalen starting and playing all 12 games for KU, you know, can we move on from the injury stuff?

But then again, you go back to spring ball and he misses it with an injury, right? And I don't think it's just about like will he make it through the season fully healthy and I hope he does but it's also about the availability right now because last year we saw and know that Jaylen Daniels he wasn't just limited in spring ball he was limited in summer ball and that kind of carried over into spring ball or into a fall camp I should say where maybe some of the receivers got injured. And then you're just kind of not on the same page with your receivers, even guys you've thrown to for many previous seasons. And you have to shake some rust off to begin the season with this year.

Yes, he did miss spring football, but was back for summer, flew his receivers out through to them back in California and L.A. And now here for the start of fall camp. Can you be fully healthy for all fall camp and continue to develop that chemistry with all of his new receivers because there are a lot of new ones. And in addition to that, you add in the factor that Bryson Canty, the transfer from Columbia, who I don't know, he might end up being KU's second best receiver on this year's team. I think Henderson's going to be the first. So Canty might end up being the second.

Well, that's a guy who wasn't here for spring ball because he was finishing up his, he was graduating getting his degree from Columbia. You know, smart decision there to do that. But that means that it is, there is a little bit more on Jaylen Daniels to stay healthy and be available in fall camp as well to develop that chemistry with everybody. But yeah, I mean, that goes into the season as well.

Can he stay fully healthy? And if he doesn't, what does that mean? Because you know, you had the luxury a couple of years ago of having Jason Bean as the backup quarterback. Who would be that guy this year? We'll get to that in position battles. I think just in general, kind of piggybacking off that, like can you avoid any serious injuries during fall camp?

Can you get guys the needed, I guess, practice time that they need in all this while avoiding any key injuries that's going to start the season where somebody's going to be behind the eight ball? I mean, certainly you're already a bit behind the eight ball here a little bit. If you consider Bryce Foster just had some surgery to clean something up. I don't know how long into fall camp that's going to keep him out. And how does that affect you know, his chemistry with the team, I will say in Bryce Foster's defense, I do think we saw last year he joined late.

Remember, he joined last season after spring football like well into the summer. And if you remember the early part of fall camp, like there was some I don't know scuttle by the like, oh, is Shane Bumgarner the other transfer they brought in like from from the I think was the D two ranks? Is he going to beat out Bryce Foster? Right? Is he neck and neck with him? Is this a real competition? And obviously, Foster ended up winning the competition, maybe

some of that was a little lip service to keep everybody, I guess, disciplined to the idea of competition. I don't know how true it really was. But we know that Bryce Foster was able to come in in a short period of time and earn that starting role So the fact that he already has a year under his belt I'm not overly worried unless the injury like leaks into the season and affects his performance But from a perspective of getting ready for the season I think he showed last year that he can do it in a shorter period of time

Can they fine-tune small details to perform better in one score games? This is something that Lance Leipold brought up during Big 12 media days. There was a big focus for KU, right? Finishing games, finishing drives, worried about the small minute details. And it's something that, you know, some of the players mentioned over the course of last season that like,

you would think with as many returning players as KU had that they would be so, I don't know, ingrained with the system and what Lance Lightpult is asking and the minutia to some of the details that's required of them. But you heard some of the players kind of talking about the, yeah, they lost a little bit of that focus maybe earlier on in the season

that they weren't focusing as much on the details. And sometimes that can be like, if you bring a bunch of returning players back, sometimes, you know, you do get lulled to sleep a little bit that you're going through the same process and you're kind of, you're getting lackadaisical with it. Right? And so this year with some new players,

I think that can help in that regard a little bit, but can they fine tune those details because the difference between you being a bowl team, the difference between you winning seven, eight, nine games, the difference between you being a big 12 title contender, those all rely on you performing much better in one score games this upcoming season. How's the offense and the defense going to look with new coordinators?

And this is something that we're not going to totally find out in fall camp, but it is obviously apparent. And even if it's not something we're going to know about as much from like what plays are they calling, what schemes are they running, right? That stuff's not going to really get out like, oh, Kansas ran five speed options today in practice versus 17, you know, post droughts, or like, that's not gonna come out to us in the public that we're not gonna totally know. Like, is the defense running some three, three, five?

Are they running all four, two, five? Are they running some four, three in there? Are they, right? Like, what exactly are they doing? Are they policing a lot? We're not gonna know that until we get into the season. But from a perspective of just the guys continuing to kind of mesh with the new schemes, and it's new, but it's like like

Jim's address the terminology that playbooks probably going to be very similar to where it was with Andy Kodlicki, but it's still a different guy calling plays. There are still different preferences that he might have in a certain situation. So like getting used to those things. And obviously there are still a lot of other new players that even if it were returning coordinators are going to have to mesh into that. That's today's still a lot of other new players that even if it were returning coordinators are gonna have to mesh into that.

That's today's day and age of college athletics though. I think which young players start to emerge. And it's not necessarily when I say emerge, it's not that like a young player, whether you're a freshmen, redshirt freshmen, sophomore, redshirt sophomore, it's not that that player has to find his way onto the two deep necessarily.

Maybe some cases that is the situation, but for some players, it's more about emerging from a standpoint of like catching the eye, catching the eye of the coaching staff, catching the eye of what you could possibly be of starting to gain that trust from the coaching staff, because you kind of wanna develop that, that next guy up mentality to a standpoint of yes, if there's an injury, but

also think about this from a roster building a future roster building perspective. If you're let's just take a position. Let's take the running back, for instance, okay. There's a bunch of young running backs in the running back room behind Daniel Hyshaw and LaShawn Williams that are going to be I guess, therefore, and we'll get more into this stuff in the top position battles, but like that are going to be, I guess, therefore, and we'll get more into this stuff in the top position battles, but like that are going to be contending for, you know, running back three

and running back for. But it's not just the importance of that, because, you know, how many carries is running back for getting versus running back five? Is there any difference, you know, in what they're going to be getting over the course of the season? But the difference between running back and running, running back for and running back five is that once you get into spring ball ahead of the 2026 season, once you get into

the offseason, once you get ready for the 2026 season, the guy who was running back for this year has a big leg up in terms of they've impressed the coaching staff. And if they can keep doing that stuff, they have that leg up of being consistently in that spot over the next guy. So it's almost like who can emerge for the future rosters in the same way that like, okay, you think back a couple years ago when like Tommy Dunn and DJ Withers, you would hear stories about,

hey, they're emerging in practice. And then maybe later in that season, I forget, this would have been what, the redshirt sophomore year, I think, they start to get playing time. And then by the time, or maybe this would have been redshirt freshman year, they're starting to get playing time later then by the time or maybe this would have been redshirt freshman year They're starting a playing time later in that season After starting to emerge and then they're in big roles basically starters by the time the redshirt sophomores, right? That's kind of the timeline you're looking for for some of these young players and it also is important for the coaching staff because

If some of your young players that you recruited in They you're expecting to develop that you're expecting to turn into something that you're expecting to develop, that you're expecting to turn into something, aren't doing the things that you are asking them to do or aren't as good as you hoped for them to be or aren't developing on the path you wanted them to. Then all of a sudden that position becomes more likely to bring in even more players via the transfer portal

versus if they're performing well, maybe say, hey, we're gonna go a little lighter on that position in the portal. So very important there, but let's get into some of those position battles next.

College basketball your second listen every day. All right. Top position battles for KU in fall camp that are going to be important coming into the season. We mentioned earlier with the Jaylen Daniels health stuff, right? And the hope is that last year was a new precedent, right? That he's going to stay healthy the full way through.

If there is a game or it could even be a drive, that's the thing with backup quarterback, right? How much could get knocked off? Who's going to be the backup quarterback for KU and going back to the young players thing it's not just important from a factor of if Jalen has to miss any time this year. It's also important because whoever is the backup quarterback this year. Now it looks like they have the leg up going into spring ball to get those those first team reps,

you know, headed into 2026, when that would theoretically be the new starter, right? So it's Cole Ballard, who will be a redshirt sophomore. David McCollum will be a true freshman and Isaiah Marshall, who will be a redshirt freshman. Those are the three guys in the the competition for backup quarterback. It's going to be very interesting battle. Ballard has kind of the the playbook, the I know the gutsiness sort of factor going his way.

Marshall probably has the dynamism of the combination of passing and running ability and kind of the electric gamer that he can be. McComb probably has like he's he's an underrated runner and maybe he's the most polished passer of the three. They all have their different your strengths. And it'll be very interesting how it shakes out now. Long term, maybe a guy like McComb ends up being the guy maybe McComb in 2026 ends up being the guy. But maybe this year it takes you know him a little bit more time learning

the playbook. I think it's even more important almost for Isaiah Marshall to be out Cole Ballard than it would be David McComb. Again, McComb in his first year on campus, you're gonna expect a bigger jump in that second year after you kind of get to know the playbook and stuff. If Marshall now in year two at Kansas can't beat out Ballard yet. I do wonder you know what that means for his future at the University of Kansas and what

that also means for Cole Ballard like would he be the presumed starter coming into 2026 and I like Isaiah Marshall I hope that you know he's able to have a great camp and win out on everything possible and you know I think people were really excited when he came to Kansas and this is a huge moment for Isaiah Marshall these next like four weeks to try to win this job. And obviously, it's something that can bleed into the season and maybe you will come back up quarterback later in

the year. But a lot of times like whoever the backup quarterback is, because there's a certain amount of reps that you know, you're gonna get more reps is the one more reps is the two than the three and so forth, that it's going to be a little harder to kind of climb that ladder after you get there. So big offseason for the backup quarterback spot. And I think it would be a good thing. Like. If Ballard is the backup, it's not a bad thing. Like, it could just be the Ballard is like outperforming expectations, right? But it would almost be a good thing if Marshall ends up winning the backup.

Like, it would not be a good thing if Marshall was just given the backup. But if Marshall earns the backup spot, like that would be a good thing because that tells you that he's starting to progress and show you that he's he's kind of earning that spot. And same would go for, you know, David McComb, because I think you view McComb and Marshall more so in that vein of like, yeah, they could be our future quarterback starter. Whereas with Ballard, it's like, okay, you know, he came in as a walk on if he can

just be like a really good backup for the time that he's at Kansas, like that's great to write. But again, maybe I'm underrating him. Maybe, you know, it I don't know, again, the fact that he was a walk on and urge his way on the field, obviously, big reason why was because of injury, but the fact that he even put himself in position to be the third quarterback and that he's fended off to this far, maybe I'm underrating him a little bit too much. But anyway, receiver playing time will be a big one.

Like I said, I think Henderson and Canty wouldn't surprise me if they end up the one, two on the team. But like there's a lot of receiver playing time up for grab. Grabs you have Levi Wentz as well, who he's going to be in that conversation. Cam Pickett, I think the slot receiver position just in general, going to be interesting. Cam Pickett, more of your art after catch guide.

Doug Emelian has the experience coming back to the team more of kind of your underneath route runner. Where does Keegan Kubeka fit in all this? Where's the new player just added from Nebraska? Jayden Doss. Where does he fit in? Somebody who is good with the ball in his hands. See somebody who you get on the field for you know certain plays packages and and maybe on special teams a little bit here they're very interesting how that receiver playing time kind of works out and can any of the non seniors get playing

time like in a real way because right now, you look at Henderson, you look at Wentz, you look at Canty, look at a million, all those guys are seniors. Can you get somebody like a picket in there who maybe has more than just one year left, where you feel like, okay, it's not just that you got contributions this year, but you feel like, okay, we've got a good receiver coming back in 2026 as well. The backup tight end spots very interesting to

me, I think to Sean Hannukkah is pretty clearly the one. Is it going to be Bowden Grown? The transfer from Rice is the backup. Who's going to be a third string then is late in cure? Is it a guy like Carson Broon or Jaden Ham possibly breaking out? Because Kansas likes to play a lot of two and three tight end sets. But you got to have productive second and third tight ends. You can't just throw anybody out there just because if,

if the players aren't good enough, Kansas probably will just play more, you know, three wide receiver or two running back sets as opposed to doing that. But that'll be very interesting, not just who wins those jobs, but are they good enough that they want to use those formations a good amount.

On the offensive line, I think the depth spots are up for grab and then there's two starting spots. I think you look at Bryce Foster, you look at Kobe Baines at the right guard spot. And then you look at Calvin Clements as the left tackle spot. Those you feel confident are going to be the starters.

It's who's going to be the left guard and who's going to be the right tackle. So you're looking at Enrique Cruz, the transfer from Syracuse. I think he would be the presumed favorite to win right tackle. You look at the guard position that could go kind of a myriad of different ways.

Do you go with a guy like Nolan Gorrchicay could you go with James Livingston who has some experience, right? Gorty come maybe could play tackle. Maybe Gorty because your six linemen, the KU is typically under Lance Lightbulb use six linemen where they rotate one guy in to kind of, you know, keep guys fresh and basically six play around starter snaps. Like maybe that six man role is kind of Gorty because he can play guard or tackle. Amir Herring, does he break out like just one of these young guys, one of these transfers you brought in who was a young transfer who got playing time to previous stop, did they kind of break out in a real way? I forgot to mention Tavaki Tugogluvatu, like he could be somebody who starts at left guard

as a transfer in from UCLA. In fact, he might be the favorite. So offensive line gonna be very interesting to see how that kind of shakes out or do they make some last minute adjustments where it's like we're expecting, you know, this guy to play here and he ends up playing here instead, you know, it feels like that's happened to the KU offensive line in previous years was like, oh, we're expecting this and then he has a plane here and it's like, oh, it ends up working out great,

right for KU. They've done a great job on the offensive line. The defense been playing time, I think, I guess just in general, D line playing time. A defensive tackle, it's more about like who's going to emerge as the starters. But I feel like it's going to be five guys rotating a good amount. So it's just kind of like who gets the majority of the snaps is the big thing. A defensive end. I feel good about three guys playing a big amount of time for KU.

Dean Miller, all big 12 second team and coming back, Justice Finkeley transfer from Texas and Alex Bray transfer from Illinois. Those three guys are going to play a lot. Who's going to be your fourth to end? Who's going to be your backup? I guess, weak side defense event is a Dak Brinkley, former four star recruit who red shirted last year

and his body's getting back. Cause he was coming off like a season ending injury where like he's getting back to being a freak of nature. Like could he break out in a real way and be a really good rotational player for you? Or you surf his way into even more playing time. You've brought in a lot of other interesting young defensive ends, either via high school

or via the transfer portal, that have multiple years, who kind of breaks out there and who is that other guy that fills kind of fourth defensive end role, if you're kind of rotating too deep between that spot. Linebacker starters and usage. I think the usage in general, like, are you going to be playing mostly 425? Are you going to be playing

some 335? Is it going to be a third linebacker out there? We can see a in some of those situations, is it going to be a third linebacker? Or is it going to be a third safety? Or is it going to be a third corner? And that'll obviously depend, you know, have a bit of an impact on how many players what's the position battle like, whatever. But then which linebackers went out to Bengali? Kamara is the guy that I feel like is kind of the go to when I think of like has a chance to be KU's best linebacker.

But maybe it could be a guy like Joseph Sip, who was an All-Mac performer at Bowling Green. Maybe it could be a guy like Trey Latham, who was a starter at West Virginia in the Big 12 and was coming off a big injury last year and still was relatively productive even doing that and should you would think be even better coming off another year away from that injury. So like very good competition. If they're only playing two starting linebackers, obviously, they'll rotate so they'll all play but from a starting perspective, that's three guys right there, you're

going to rotate down to two but then that also doesn't account for guys that you have returning. You know, could they could have John John Brantley, could a or John John Kamara, excuse me, could Logan Brantley, could a Jason Gilliam emerge and kind of factor into that as well. I think that linebacker spot could be very interesting. And the last one here, which young cornerback emerges to be potential cornerback for in my eyes, I see with Jaylen Todd and then the two

transfer additions you made, Saeed Gibbs from Georgia Tech and DJ Graham from Utah State for that Oklahoma, as your top three corners, again, maybe something wins out. And if one of the young corners usurps one of those guys, great, because that probably means that young, talented player has had a really good camp. And that would probably be a good sign. But who wins that fourth corner spot?

Not just because, I mean, there will be a little bit of playing time there. I think back to like Quinton Lasseter, who did lead Kansas in interceptions. I don't know, he had a good amount of interceptions a couple of years ago, and it was like, okay, you have Kobe, you have Mello, and then you had Kaelin Gerven in the slot,

and then your fourth corner is Quinton Lasseter. You're still gonna get some playing time, right? It might be closer to 10, 15, 20 snaps per game, although in the new formation, new defense, maybe it's more on this year's team for Kansas. So it's not just about a little bit of playing time. It's also about going back to what we said in the top storylines, which young players emerge.

And from a standpoint of like, okay, DJ Graham has one more year of college. I can't remember if Gibbs has one or two more years of college, but let's say it's one more year. Who's going to be that other young corner that come 2026? You feel good about starting next to the Jalen Todd because Kansas has recruited that position really well. They've got a lot of young talented players there. But it's time for one of them to kind of break out and make you feel like okay, they're ready for that big playing time role that they've

been developing in the system. All right, let's finish up here. Latest news, KU TBT, little KU basketball news as well get to all that next. This is Lockdown Jayhawks. Again, thanks for joining us on LOJ. Don't forget to make Lockdown College football or Lockdown College basketball. You're second listen every day every day. The basketball tournament the JHX Jayhawks team unfortunately fell in the round of 16,

which I think is like three straight years. That they've fallen in that round. So it just it's been their bugaboo about I thought they were going to get by him. They were they were up on a hard fire is like 59 51 or something like that late in the game. And then they just couldn't close it out. And you know, again, it took a lead even in the Elam ending, but then again, couldn't close it out. And it was tough performance against a really good hard fire team, but just came up a little bit short, it felt like they were one kind of good guard short. It felt like they were playing with a lot of Fords, a lot of big lineups. They had a lot of turnovers. They struggled to shoot from three. It is unfortunate. I understand why the Frank Mason thing happened where he played for Bayheim's army. I heard a

number of why of what he got to go play for them. And so I can understand why he did that, but it is unfortunate because I think you looked at it and it was like, like, honestly, Jacob Hanna, the the Washburn player, I was really impressed with him. He might have been KU's best guard. I thought Tyshaun Taylor looked good when we saw him, but he was obviously very limited in what he could play. He didn't play in the third game for KU. They needed that one other kind of guard for a boost because they had good big men, they had

good forwards to get done. And it's funny because you think of with Bill Self, like you think of some of his most iconic players being guards and it just feels like they haven't been able to match that. They had Frank last year, but then it was like, oh, but you know, maybe you're missing some of these other things. We'll see.

I think they're on the precipice of making this happen. Again, if you make the round of 16, three straight years, like clearly you're doing well. We'll see if they can get over the hump. I think they're right there. If they can know what if you could get a Devon dots? And what if you could get a Devante Graham? What if you could get, you know, one of these guys that could be a total game changer for you in the TBT in addition to what you've already done, which is clearly

show that you have kind of a high floor in this event. So unfortunate that you lost there, but another solid run in the end. And I guess most importantly, they did beat the Kansas State alumni team in the second round. That was a wild like stupid finish to that game if he didn't catch it. Okay, some other KU basketball news. A Gade Amir, the big man from Turkey who we talked a lot about to the deep dive on he committed to college organ is where he's

going to go. So this becomes interesting because it a indicates that okay, sounds like he is going to be playing college basketball. So this wasn't the case of, you know, KU took Paul and Bia because they were worried they could get Demir eligible. I guess that is a worry. Like maybe Oregon just felt better about getting him eligible and found out a way. And maybe it was a risk that Kansas wasn't willing to take and they couldn't afford to

because they didn't have a bunch of other bigs on the roster. But it would be very interesting to track him at Oregon. And the other interesting part is the rumored schools that were in on a via after he, I guess, asked out of his NLI from NC State was Oregon and Kansas. So I think it's very interesting to track both how and be a does and how Demir does this season. I think both of them are going to be backup centers because Oregon has a really good big man in Nate

is the first name, Nate Biddle, who's a really good post scorer for Oregon. Going to be very interesting to track how the both those guys do and, you know, whatever happened there between that battle. Other KBAS, one news late night in the fog has been scheduled for October 17th. So that means that we are less than three months away from late night in the fog. And then the last bit that I wanted to mention here, we do

have once again one final, I I guess mention of this trivia at Johnny's Tavern in West Lawrence coming up on Sunday at six o'clock. Doors are going to open at five o'clock. I think we have like 12 teams 13 teams, something like that registered at this point. I know it's double digits at this point in time. It's going to be KU basketball trivia. It's going to be in a fun way. It's called SmackDown is how we do the tournament. And, you know, we're going to be giving away you know, bonus prizes, there's going to be in a fun way. It's called Smackdown is how we do the tournament and you know, we're going to be giving away, you know, bonus prizes.

There's going to be apparel gift cards from Johnny's. There's going to be a cash prize at the end. It is a cash entry, but all of the money goes to the cash prize. I ain't taking a dime of it, right? So it's going to be a lot of fun. And I guess last call last minute signups. If you would, you can have a team up to six people. And at the very least, it's a lot of fun.

You get to maybe meet some other KU fans and might have some friends that are going to it. So I recommend coming out Sunday if you can. And if you know some things about KU and that's the beauty, though, of having a team of six. You could know very little. But like if you have like two friends who are like studs about it, just invite them and the rest of you have a good time and ride their coattails. Like we just see the team score. We don't need to know who did well individually. So anyway, I hope to see you

Sunday and plenty more coming at you right here on Lockdown Jayhawks later in the week, we're gonna have a KU non conference preview including the Missouri game, as well as the Fresno State and the Wagner games on tomorrow episode of Lockdown Jayhawks. We'll see you then right here anywhere you podcast or on a YouTube page with LOJ.
