X's and Joe's Episode 40: Data vs Drama - A View of Modern RecruitingBob Moats and Mike Wiemuth welcome special guest Stephen Ragsdale, creator of IURecruiting.com, for a deep dive into how data-driven analysis can cut through the emotional chaos of following college basketball recruiting.Meet Stephen Ragsdale and IURecruiting.com[00:00-17:00]Stephen introduces himself as a third-generation IU fan who turned his Excel spreadsheet tracking into a comprehensive recruiting website. His journey from casual follower to creator of IURecruiting.com stemmed from wanting better tools to understand the recruiting process. The conversation touches on early season optimism around IU basketball, with Trent Sisley's viral shot from above Five Guys on Kirkwood symbolizing a new era of offensive philosophy under Darren DeVries.The Recruiting Bingo Card[17:00-30:00]Mike unveils his famous "Recruiting Miss Bingo Card" - a collection of predictable fan responses that appear on message boards after every recruiting loss. Classics include "We don't want him anyway," "This just proves we don't cheat," and "I only want kids who want to play for IU." The group discusses how these responses transcend fanbases, with Stephen noting Purdue fans' fixation on the cheating angle and Notre Dame supporters emphasizing academic standards. The card highlights how fans often rationalize losses by suggesting the coach nearly made a catastrophic mistake, but thankfully the recruit had the sense to go elsewhere.The Recruiting Funnel Framework[30:00-45:00]Mike introduces the corporate HR recruiting funnel model adapted for college basketball. Using Kansas's 2019 recruitment of Jalen Wilson as a case study, he demonstrates how successful programs move from many offers (10) to fewer official visits (3) to one commitment. The concept of "traction" becomes crucial - can you get elite kids interested enough to visit? Stephen shares how this framework was eye-opening for him, shifting his perspective from Mike Woodson's "fall in love with one target" approach to understanding roster building as a numbers game requiring multiple irons in the fire.IURecruiting.com Deep Dive[45:00-75:00]Stephen walks through his website's functionality, showing how it tracks offers, visits, and commitments across multiple recruiting classes and positions. The tool includes funnel comparisons with Kentucky, Kansas, and Arkansas - three programs with distinctly different recruiting philosophies. Key insights emerge about IU's 2026 recruiting:• Strong conversion rates at center position (3 visits from 6 offers)• Limited point guard targeting mirroring industry-wide trends toward portal guards• Critical Anthony Thompson recruitment coming down to IU vs Ohio State• The site reveals patterns that individual recruit tracking missesThe discussion highlights how Bill Self casts the widest net with offers while someone like Coach K was more selective, and how understanding these different approaches helps contextualize IU's strategy.The Modern Recruiting Landscape[75:00-End]The group examines how recruiting has fundamentally changed with the portal era. Key observations:• Elite programs like Florida, Louisville, and Michigan now build rosters with 1-2 elite high school players and multiple high-end portal transfers• Point guard positions especially skew toward experienced portal additions rather than 18-year-old freshmen• International recruiting (IU's two Yugoslav players) represents another talent stream• The "win first, then recruit" fallacy gets debunked - you need elite talent to win, not vice versaMike provides critical context about the Moneyball aspect of NIL: five-star freshmen rarely saturate winning metrics like Box Plus Minus. Only four five-stars made the top 50 nationally in BPM last season (Cooper Flagg, Khaman Maluach, Kon Knueppel, and VJ Edgecombe). The sweet spot kids and elite transfers dominate those leaderboards, suggesting programs should be more strategic about where they invest NIL dollars.The episode concludes with cautious optimism about DeVries's early recruiting indicators and why the Anthony Thompson recruitment looms as a key test.On the mics: Bob Moats, Mike Wiemuth, and special guest Stephen RagsdaleSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

They start by looking at the exhibition matchup at Tennessee before discussing Duke's first game of the season vs. Texas, a tough battle vs. Kansas, and a Thanksgiving game against Arkansas in Scheyer's home area of Chicago. Can Duke go 4-0 across these games? How much will Scheyer use the exhibition game to test out lineups and tinker? Who guards Nate Ament? How will Duke's backcourt fare against a tough slate of guards? Can Scheyer get his first win over Bill Self? How does Duke contain Darryn Peterson? Can Duke get revenge for the loss at Arkansas in Scheyer's first season? Does playing on the friendly neutral courts of Charlotte, NYC, and Chicago help Duke?

Football season is here! Mark Van Sickle predicts every KU game plus an update on Bill Self's health and a new assistant basketball coaching hire!

For the last two seasons, the Kansas Jayhawks have been just ... there. Not a team vying for a national championship, not even one of the 15 best teams in the sport. Just another team that drifted into the background — and was a letdown. For most schools, this would be understandable. Not in Lawrence. Enter Darryn Peterson and a crew of freshmen and transfer portal talent to revive the standard at Phog Allen. How will the Jayhawks fare this season? Norlander brings on C.J. Moore of The Athletic to get a deeper look at KU, including the latest on Bill Self's health. 02:52 - Status update on Bill Self 10:16 - Kansas won't start out 2025-2026 as a top-10 team (and that's a good thing) 16:48 - Who's Gone, Who's Back, and Who's New For KU 36:21 - Regular Season Win Predictions! 44:54 - Will the Big 12 be better, worse, or the same this season?

   We learned Thursday that Bill Self was taken to the hospital again for another heart procedure making it at least three times in four years.  A full recovery is expected after two more stents were inserted.  But what we didn't know is that Self has been coaching with a PICC line... a catheter to deliver medicine and nutrition to his heart.  We have the details and the ask the big question about this legendary coach.    In Columbia, Eli Drinkwitz gets a long contract extension but didn't take much of a raise.  Intstead, he got double the amount he can pay his assistants.  You have to love this guy.   Trump is headed to Scotland for five days after touring the Federal Reserve HQ and Jerome Powell on Thursday.  We were surprised there weren't more fireworks.    Chuck E. Cheese was hauled out of the famous pizza place in Florida and arrested by police.... right in front of all the kids.      And we remember the great Hulk Hogan and tie it in to the Song of the Week.

What a crazy week. Malcolm-Jamal Warner. Ozzy. Hogan. Just a wild ride. Obviously, we talked about the death of Hulk Hogan this morning, including a recap of his wrestling career, his life outside the ring, his other appearances on TV & in movies, and some personal memories of the Hulkster. Also in the news, a La Crosse man was sentenced to 64 months in Federal prison on a meth charge, a local teenager known for his crochet skills was in court on a sexual assault case, a cyclist in Vernon County is dead, Governor Tony Evers announced he wouldn't be seeking re-election, and "The Yard" in Altoona opens this weekend.

The move from Rivals to On3 is getting close to complete Thanks for your patience as final pieces come together National basketball analysts Joe Tipton and Jamie Shaw join us to talk about Bill Self's recruiting and future targets National football analyst Greg Smith give his take on the Jayhawks 2026 class

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.    The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.    A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.    Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.    Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

   Jac Caglianone made his Major League debut and he looked the part even though he went 0-5.  The Royals also had their biggest comeback of the year.  It happened on a day where lawmakers in Jeff City made progress to getting money for the teams to stay in Missouri but didn't like the answer from team lobbyists when they asked for a commitment.    Bill Self believes he has a big advantage over other programs with the hiring of Jacque Vaughn.  Former pitcher Trevor Bauer wins another case against one of his false accusers after she breaks their agreement from 2023.    ICE has picked up the wife and five kids of the worst illegal alien terrorist of all time... the bare chested dude in Colorado.    Elon Musk is really, really mad at the Big, Beautiful Bill even as Trump defends it.  It may not be a leap to say an MSNBC Host has said the dumbest thing of all time.   Murder rates are down in America's cities but up in KC.  And another City Hall employee is filing a suit against Mayor Q's regime.

   All the excitement around Jac Caglianone being called up by the Royals was expected... all the controversy was not.  Here's why those saying the Royals are crazy to do this right now are just flat wrong.    The KC Star is making up bizarre reasons why Missouri will not get stadium support funding done in the special session.  How bizarre?  Would you believe they are blaming Pride Month?    KJ Adams is out of hoops for at least a year with an achilles injury and had said goodbye to KU.  Now he's back as Bill Self has offered him an incredible opportunity to rehab with KU's team of providers while working on the basketball "staff."    Trump polls are climbing even higher and some liberal pollsters are started to put together pieces about what makes conservatives tick.    The illegal alien terrorist that set fire to Jews in Colorado has ties to USAID.  And one of the escaped prisoners in New Orleans posts a video asking Donald Trump for help and suggests he will turn himself in.    Our Final Final is about Bills quarterback Josh Allen's celebrity wedding and a guest that has everyone scratching their head.  

Illini Inquirer's Jeremy Werner and Derek Piper discuss Terrence Shannon Jr.'s impact in the Western Conference Finals, Will Riley and Kasparas Jakucionis staying in the NBA Draft and Dame Sarr to Duke. The guys then dive into the greatest Illini basketball 'What ifs" of the 21st century, including if Bill Self never departed for Kansas, if Bruce Weber and John Groce had NIL, if Jalen Brunson chose Illinois, if Illinois beat Loyola, if Terrence Shannon Jr. went to Michigan and many more.

   All these agencies, departments and courts trying to slow or even stop the President of the United States from doing his job just doesn't feel very American to me.  Yes, it's a matter or historical fact that never in our history has any Commander in Chief been subjected to this kind of onslaught and it's tiring and old.  It's also not working.  So, what's the point?    Celebs take over KC for Big Slick weekend as the Royals host the first place Tigers.... this should be fun.    KU hoops has an incredible new lead assistant coach and a freshman Bill Self calls the best freshman he's ever had.  www.dannyclinkscale.com is here to discuss that, the stadium issues and his personal journey this summer 10 years after being cancer free.   It's a conversation you'll feel great about.  

Pipes looks at the last 25+ years of Illinois Basketball and asks this question, "What if history turned out differently?" What if Bill Self stays at Illinois? What if the Illini LOSE to Arizona in the '05 tournament? This is a FUN conversation. 

   Well, what do you know?  As the Royals were shopping around for ballpark locations they just decided to start spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up properties.  Somebody affiliated with the team now owns the $164 million mortgage on the 119th street property in OP and there is no way this is a coincidence or unrelated to a new stadium.  But it also may have zero to do with the Royals wanting to go there.  We explain all the inner workings and details.    No matter what, this news comes at the perfect time to put pressure on every city and county in both states that are trying to lure the teams.  And this was needed.  Let's get this all wrapped up, please.    Dr. Jill may have to testify if her underlings refuse to do interviews with the House.  Same for Hunter.  This is all about the auto pen and who was actually running America.    AMC Theaters stock went up nearly 20% after a record setting Memorial Day weekend.... the movies are making a comeback.  Noah Cameron pitches another gem for the Royals and is off to the best start of any pitcher in Royals history.    Bill Self talks about his crazy great freshmen Darryn Peterson and settling the new rules for college sports.  Travis may be looking to pop the question with Tay Tay and what's going on with all Jack in the Box locations closing in KC?

   The Big, Beautiful bill has passed through the house, that's the good news.  Now wait until you hear what the Senate has to so.  Here we go.    An Islamic extremist terrorist kills a Jewish couple that worked at the Israeli embassy as they were leaving work Wednesday night in DC.  This is a horrific story and reinforces what America's position should be.    Long time Fox 4 anchor Phil Witt has written a thoughtful column about hunger in KC that deserves our attention.    The Royals bullpen pitches the whole game in a win over the Giants and Salvy moves up the home run list for catchers.    NFL owners keep the tush push play, Colts owner Jim Irsay dies and Jacque Vaughn signs on to work with Bill Self.  It's obvious Vaughn is the odds on fave now to replace Self some day.

   The first trade deal is done as President Trump will share details of tariffs with the United Kingdom on Thursday.    Street racing, break ins and unsafe restaurants in KC go global after local reporting from Fox 4 is picked up everywhere.  One European outlet refers to KC as a midwestern "Mad Max Hell Hole."  Ouch.    Terrorist supporting protesters take over Columbia University's library in New York but they forgot Biden is gone.  They got locked in by the feds and had to show ID to get out.  It didn't go well as at least 70 went to jail and many of them will be deported.    Bobby Witt Junior's two run homer is enough to beat the White Sox even though Charlie Sheen tried to give it away in the 9th.  The royals are scalding hot but a 9th inning change has to be coming.    Rumors are swirling everywhere Jacque Vaughn could be Bill Self's new lead assistant.  If he is... this has to be at least a first step toward the KU great possibly taking over for Self when he retires.   Isaiah Pacheco of the Chiefs gets his college degree, ESPN is announcing a new platform while parent company Disney is building a theme park in a country where being gay is illegal and Tyreek Hill chows down from his hospital bed.

   We begin with something I had no clue about and we're curious if you knew.   Last night was the biggest night of the year for birds migrating over Kansas and Missouri and the number will shock you!    A trip to the waiting parking lot to pick up my wife yesterday at KCI left me feeling uneasy about our airport.      That lottery winner that got arrested in Florida gets another plot twist as he violated his parole... and... wait for it: His girlfriend got into a fight too.  This just gets stranger.    Trump's scoring one win after another and announces he's building a fancy ballroom at the White House.  Don't worry... he's paying for it.  I think I know why.    The Royals toss their 5th shutout in the last 10 games... pretty hard to lose when the other guys don't score.  They also did something really nice before the game.    Bill Self has an opportunity to change a few things this year with one hire and a pitcher at Kauffman Stadium last night has an amazing story to find his way to the mound.

   We've officially got 100 days of greatness in the books and if you didn't know better, you'd think the world is falling apart.  It's been one good win after another with a closed border, deportations, criminals caught, prices down and a tax bill in the works.  Oh, and countries agree they will have to pay some tariffs now to balance things out a bit.    But the Dems seem to have a learning disability as they are treating this the same way they have for 10 years even though it's proven to fail.  Good for them.   Former KU basketball player Julian Wright has gone rogue against the program and specifically head coach Bill Self.  In doing so, Wright inserts himself into a very special category of stupidity.   The Eagles White House visit featured at least a dozen no shows and a dozen opportunities missed.  Shaq becomes GM of a college team and a legendary country singer has a horse in the Kentucky Derby.
