      @BShark OMG. A college ball player jumping ship before his Senior year? Unthinkable! I hope this doesn't start a new trend.

      This is not a dig at you, BShark - just airing out my frustrations.

      America! Where you have the right to be wrong.

        Expecting Bland to be back on staff. He did do some interviews while Self was undecided.

          I think Case and Dooley out at minimum. Maybe Doc as well but he’s a glorified travel agent so really who cares either way.

              What did he actually do here lol.

              Others need to move and Self needs to branch away from his friends and get some people who actually know how to teach offense

                @BeddieKU23 He's a recruiter. One of the first guys in awhile that wasn't one of Self's old cronies. If you want the definition of just stealing from Kansas, Doc Sadler is on the staff.

                  Worth a read about how UConn's finances are doled out to men's vs women's basketball and basketball vs football. Less of a surprise that they are in the FF after reading this.

                    Watching NCAA games one can see such a tremendous difference in teams that advanced in Elite 8/Final 4 vs KU. The way these teams play offense and D is so much better than what we have seen here at KU for past few years.

                    Self must look in the mirror and make changes otherwise next year will be very much like this one.

                    There is nothing wrong in change, if it is in the right direction. To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often. Winston Churchill

                      Yeah they don't care about football at all. KU finally invested there.

                        Yep.. I don't think UConn's approach is right for KU. But this does illustrate yet another way the playing field in college sports is uneven.

                          Is Case is the one doing the portal scouting I hope and pray he leaves. I’ll give him some credit with Tre and Melvin. The problem is we don’t need a shooter, you need a minimum of two IMO. Tre was much improved in that department but really struggled going 2-15 in the post season.
