  • I’m a day late, but I just got to watch the first half finally that I recorded last night. My thoughts:

    1. Love the black out uniforms. The “War 'Hawk” is my favorite Jayhawk logo of all time. I’m not sure we would change todays Jayhawk to do something like that if a war broke out now…
    2. Offense was clicking! Jalen was making plays that Bean just couldn’t do. Keeping things alive, and making a little something out of nothing.
    3. Our wide receivers are getting better. And they made some ridiculous great catches.
    4. These B1G refs were horrible. And I think one of them is a local guy from Kansas City area.
    5. Defense looks good. Still a little work to do against the passing game…but they did their job well.
    6. I hope coach is able to get those targeting calls challenged, and our guys play the first half next week. and lastly…
    7. I know…We are Kansas, and we have to prove more than just a few games. But man…the play by play and color guy…come on ESPN. Step it up!

    Rock Chalk!










  • I scanned through the article, and it’s pretty good. (The Athletic is owned by The NY Times now…and The NY Times is pretty inexpensive digitally).

    The gist is that these kids have designs of being in the NBA, but can’t jump right from HS to the league anymore. And with so much club ball out there, they think they are ready. Or they get bored with HS ball, so they can reclassify ( if they are eligible) so they do.

    But they find that at the college level, everyone on scholarship is GOOD.

    I don’t think kids are ready for that…at least most are not. The kid who reclassified early to come to Kansas was here for a month. Then left. The rumor was he was struggling with the speed of just practice with the college team. But the statement from the kid was that Lawrence just wasn’t the place for him. So he left and ended up at Gonzaga.

    I think we are rushing kids. 😕
