The nice thing about Kansas is not only do the summers suck, the winters also suck.

@dylans grew up farming, which made me realize working from my home office is much more pleasant. I remember my dad and grandpa saying go to college so you don’t have to do this.

Just got back from a walk. It’s 88 at 10:30 in LFK. Feels like 97

Hopefully these show up but I took some photos last night with the blue LEDs.

@rockchalkjayhawk it was several years ago. Blockages develop over time. We don’t know how often Self goes to a cardiologist to get checked. For all we know last time he went everything was fine.

I hope Coach is healthy enough to coach however he wants. I am concerned about the number of fans who just want to hand Jacque the keys and not do a real search.

He was out golfing at least according to local gossip

No way. Bad academics, basketball is on probation, small market.

It’s crunch time. 2 weeks until contractors hand it over to KUAD for finishing touches.

@approxinfinity yeah he went 11th, not sure what got lost in translation there

@approxinfinity he absolutely killed the combine, both in athletic testing and shooting.

KU keeps things close to the vest on NIL. They’re going to hit the revshare cap easily and Goff said yesterday they’re adding scholarships. On the Big East thing, fine they’ll have more RevShare for basketball but none of them are good on NIL. Any school like KU can easily compete in terms of a total financial package. On UConn, they’re going to spend a lot more than most on women’s basketball as well. KU is well positioned to compete, though being in the Big 12 vs. the P2 is still a significant disadvantage. It would be a heck of a lot easier to hit the revshare cap with an additional $40m in tv revenue.

@Texas-Hawk-10 he went from a good kid who loves throwing bales to work out to an entitled diva overnight

@rockchalkjayhawk post-House there is a hard cap we have in terms of RevShare. That money is spent. Now, if there are donors willing to pony up for NIL for a guy (subject to getting through Deloitte’s clearinghouse) that’s a different deal but KUAD is tapped.

Ahh, gotcha. So RevShare is that $20 million cap that schools have for all sports?

Yes. All power conference schools have the same lid in terms of revshare

Also there remains no better closer than Billy Eugene Self.

Yeah any other additions would be walk on types. Revshare is tapped.

I’d look for news about a big visiting soon

Ethan Taylor today unless you mean something else

Mibya. They’re hard on him

@SlimShaddy54 yeah it’s mostly there. It’s a full go to tear down right after the season.

Latest update I have is the east side plans aren’t totally finalized yet but the most likely outcome is no suites, but does have a club level (think Arrowhead). The contractors are done 8/1 then KUAD does the finishing touches.

I’d look for news about a big visiting soon

Also $2.8 billion in backpay for athletes dating back to 2016.

Yeah it’s just transcript issues with Dessert. My sister was responsible for transcript evals when she was in athletics and always said international SAs were pains in the ass to get cleared.

When the House settlement finally happens all the collectives will RIP. NIL deals will be run through Delloite’s clearinghouse and AD contributions will be capped.

@Texas-Hawk-10 Haggerty if he comes back to school or, more likely, we go the international route.

@dylans yes, but it’s not done yet

Let’s Boogie

Swain says KU likes its chances still. There’s a ways to go yet.

JJ is good with KU

I don’t think there’s anything to the HCIW thing

Sounds like a Sarr visit this weekend

@approxinfinity the Spurs already hired Pop’s replacement so yeah 0%

@Texas-Hawk-10 20-21 was the Covid year so it doesn’t count either

So in theory he has 2 more year of eligibility?

I still think just one because he’s played 3 years of D1 ball that count: 20-21 - Covid, doesn’t count 21-22 - JuCo, doesn’t count(?) 22-23: WVU 23-24: WVU 24-25: OSU

So he’d need the JuCo year to not count too. Weird situation.

The JuCo seasons no longer counting towards eligibility is why Diggy is playing at Maryland next season instead of being out of eligibility which should mean Suemnick still has two more seasons of eligibility then.

There’s no world where he has two left. He’s already played 3 D1 seasons that count.

@dylans I think they’d win that one, I don’t see the antitrust violation there. The rest of the suits seem pretty open and shut Sherman violations.

It would take the NCAA changing rules. Right now if you stay in the draft your eligibility is over.

The other night I watched a Dame to Kill For. Good movie. Also Dame watch is ON

@Texas-Hawk-10 20-21 was the Covid year so it doesn’t count either

@Texas-Hawk-10 Covid year

You obviously take Sarr if/when he wants to commit. Then keep recruiting Williams through the draft process. I don’t think there’s a realistic chance to get both but you absolutely recruit like there is.

Bill was also in Cancun for most of last week so not a lot of recruiting was going on lol

@Texas-Hawk-10 the WVU series at the end of the season looms large

@SlimShaddy54 also Gradey Dick in the house

The Hog is cranked tonight. Crazy turnaround from the days when you could wander in any time and get a good seat

@wissox Tim is a great reporter. He was raised in the church then worked for National Review and The Atlantic.

That’s a bummer. Those 12 personnel sets would’ve feasted.

I’ll be at the Mizzou game Tuesday! #CRANKTHEHOG

@Texas-Hawk-10 to quote a senior administration official, “The cruelty is the point”

Jereme Robinson to Daaaaa Bears

@drgnslayr nice! I’ll definitely check it out later this summer. Hopefully catch a sale
