FBI...here we go
-
I would be surprised if Nike even wants to bid; it already has the big Mid West football programs under contract and while KU is Adidas’ flagship program it would not be Nike’s. That is not to say that Nike would not want to take Adidas top program but not at what Adidas pays, particularly when the football program is in such poor shape.
In any case, KU would be going from one corrupt shoeco to another.

hmmmm, We’ll see what that is all about today
*Dick Vitale
?Verified account @DickieV
A source involved in the @FBI hoops investigation told me there could be some testimony tomorrow that can create a big nightmare for some coaches & schools / stay tuned ! @espn*
-
Lol, Vitale.

Even better, his next post was saying he’s calling the opener vs Michigan St. No surprise but be prepapred
-
@BeddieKU23 My mute button is ready! Even if it’s only symbolic, since I’ll be watching on a computer and just turning the volume down.
-
I miss Max. I always muted the tv and listened to Max when he was calling the games.

This was very doable with Bob too. Bob was awesome. Hanni…um…I’ll just not say anything.
-
He’s rough. I really, really hope he isn’t a lifelong “voice of the jayhawks”
-
@BShark Really, my only problem with Hanni is his voice.
-
@DanR Seems like a big issue for a radio guy.
-
I like hanni. I’ve talked to him a few times. Is it his voice? He really does his homework, and he’s super friendly and loves his job.

OTOH “Pooka Bazooka” and all his other nicknames are Dave Armstrong level awful*. His trademark phrases seem really forced too. Not a fan of “Rock Chalk it up”. Jmo.
*Anyone else remember Armstrong trying to get “the sheriff” to stick to Cole? Yikes.
-
I watch hawk talk and very seldom listen to games. I like Dave Lawrence too.
-
@Crimsonorblue22 I agree. He seems to be a decent, happy guy. I like his interviews and even the play by play. I just wish he’d knock off the “practiced” broadcast voice.
-
Oh, well I never listen to hawk talk so I don’t hear that aspect of Hanni.
Don’t disagree about him being a nice guy and definitely into his job (again with the nicknames, maybe too much so, idk).
-
You just don’t get the feeling of the game from Hanni. When you listened to Bob, you felt like you were there. You could tell the momentum of the game from his voice. You could feel how big a moment was.
Hanni is very monotone and boring and was a really disappointing selection, imo.
-
And I can’t even watch Hawk Talk anymore because of him. I literally used to sit in my car to listen to it on the radio.
-
I guess I’m not easily bothered. I’m more impressed w/his knowledge. Seems to do his homework. I don’t care for rock chalk it up, either. Guess you need a signature expression?
-
BShark said:
Lol, Vitale.
So, uh, anything happen yet?
-
Everything I have read from today has been pretty boring. No new information really. Nothing about KU at all.
Basically just Bowen St. going over and over what he was offered and from whom.
-
@Woodrow I’m simply STUNNED that Vitale didn’t have the inside scoop.
-

Governments case is nonsensical
-
Do we know who is left to testify?
-
Judge told the jury they should get too decide “no later” than Oct 22.
@Kcmatt7 I have not see who is left.
-
@Woodrow I wonder if no one in government ever really cared. Maybe the whole prosecution is just a cover for the NCAA to get hold of documents they could never get on their own?
-

Since it is all about NCAA rules, I assume the verdict will not be eligible if the jury doesn’t get the form filled out and submitted in time.

Well done sir !
-
Here is the link to the story itself.
-
@Kcmatt7 Silvio showed some nice post moves in college games with little prep as basically a displaced HS senior. Did jamari ever? I think we will see a much more polished and offensively productive SD this year. His upside is far greater than JT.
-
@Kcmatt7 I am with you. Hanni was a terrible hire…terrific guy, but his nasaly whine, annoying voice and cheesy style is as far from Bod Davis as they could have gone. And dont get my started on the grand canyon sized gap from Max to Gurley.
I want Harlen and Piper.
-
Harlan would be incredible, but he’s also very busy and does NFL, NBA etc… Could be a tough pull.
-
We would have had to pay Harlan a good chunk of cash.

I went to high school with this guy and he was a KU grad. And he doesn’t sound like Hanni.
-
Jeff Smith the compliance director at KU is getting ready to take the stand today.
-
Is there a way to watch this?
-
@Kcmatt7 not too my knowledge
-
As far as I know no media allowed. The one’s tweeting about the trial can only do so once their is recess
-
You really have to wonder how the NCAA didn’t sell the TV rights to ESPN since they have given them a virtual monopoly on everything else about college BB until March.
-
No major updates yet today it looks like. De Sousa info will come out either later today or tomorrow after JT Gassnola takes the stand.
-
Compliance officer Jeff Smith told the jury that " I didn’t know anything about that" when asked about Preston receiving 90,000$.
Also added he didn’t know anything about the 20,000$ for SDS. Said he ( I assume KU) learned of payment in April of 2018 and adds that KU is cooperating with prosecution.
-
So why did we sit Billy, is the question I want to know. Was it the car not being under Billy or his mom’s name or something?
-
I mean…you know why @Kcmatt7 lol
-
@Kcmatt7 I believe he was talking about the SDS situation when referencing the April 2018 date.
-
-
That’s as good of info as you can basically get at this juncture.
“Unlike the Louisville allegations, which seemed far more sordid, the Kansas stuff seemed fairly tame. There wasn’t any link between the Adidas money and the Kansas coaches, at least at the trial. As a result the cross-examination of Mr. Smith was fairly uneventful”
-
T.J. Gassnola is now on the stand.
-
Gassnola told the jury he helped pay five players on the sly. Preston, SDS, Dennis Smith, Brian Bowen, and Desmond Eastmond.
-

Ayton was the 5th player not Eastmond.
So no we have a he said she said between Gassnola and SDS guardian.
-
-
@Woodrow “So now we have a he said she said between Gassnola and SDS guardian.”
Quick! Get an FBI investigation!
Oh, wait, I think that came first in this case, didn’t it?
