@rockchalkjayhawk Yes of course we truly don't know but Selfs reaction when he made the shot right in front and turned around kind of told that side of the story. He reacted like he was pissed.
It's interesting that Acuff's historic 49 points last night came 2 days after a protective boot coming off his ankle.

There is also videos of Caleb Wilson warming up and still practicing with UNC. As well as him saying he is playing in March no matter what. I think that watching DP play at times he obviously has had some ailments. But he seems to not want ti play thru them at all. Cramps are something most players go thru and play thru at some point in their careers. Jay Williams said on espn itās looks as simple as he flat out doesnāt have any desire to be here and play the college game. This is why the OAD rule is silly, it really doesnāt change anything other than you are holding a guy against his will at a lower level.

The whole "cramps" excuse seems like complete BS. If it were just that you would see medical staff working on his leg and you would think he would be back on the court after working on it and fluids. Think about the top tennis players in the world - guys on the court for as many as 4-5 hours. Regularly have to work through cramping. Get a medical timeout, eat a banana, get hydrated, then back on the court slugging it out. Peterson is not a more finely-tuned athlete than Alcaraz, Djokovich, Sinner and others...

@kjayhawks2.0 hahaha. Crow pie of epic proportions incoming, totally. Guess that makes us both optimists about this thing, probably by necessity!
-
The fact that no one outside of the team has heard from DP makes it all the worse. Silence has made it so open to interpretation...both real and ridiculous

The national stuff today is more than even I would have thought after last night.

A friend had an alternate theory on DP that I hadnāt heard.
Heās simply bored with college ball.
Now that is an interesting take. But wouldnāt you think if itās really that effortless for him, he would want to make a more serious historical mark to show how much better he was than everybody else? Something like the all-time record of points scored or 3 pointers made or something, even if just for one game?
And I think that was the first post game interview with Bill that Iāve heard so far this year where he didnāt fiercely defend JP. So curious to see what happens next.
Itās quite the perplexing situation. Best case he helps us win the natty, but even if that comes to pass I think Iāll still probably think of him more as a valuable weapon just passing thru, rather than a true Jayhawk.
