RE: 2025 recruits - - -starting off well
@jayballer67 just missed on a couple guys. It’s some NIL, some staff turnover

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@dylans if Cal returned half the team from winning it all last time around and replaced those who left with even better players

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@dylans they’re the first or second best basketball team assembled in history. They’re by in large playing with their food in games that don’t count
-
RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@approxinfinity no that can’t be right. I’ve been told there were no close games and they just rolled everyone because they just played so, so hard. That team was so tough they literally couldn’t lose.

Republicans should thank their lucky stars their opponents are the Democrats. And vice versa. Jared Polis or Nikki Haley win 350 EVs

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@dylans nah it would be super competitive. Most of those guys are small and not skilled or athletic compared to the 24 team. E.g. KD would almost be the tallest guy on the 92 team and LeBron would be the heaviest.
If you go by league scoring averages the early 90’s were hot garbage on defense. These “elite defenses” allowed no fewer than 105 points per game in the entire decade leading up to the Dream Team. The O Rating was higher in 92 than last year. A whoooole lot of nostalgia going on there. Part of that is free throws are way down, from like 28 to 21 per game and fouls are down about 5 per game.
Actual lol at Jordan could carry anyone to a title. Prime Jordan didn’t even get to a Finals until 1991. He never won a thing without Pippen, who was really good in his own right. The only guy that maybe could carry a team on his back was Wilt and even then the Celtics owned him.
Well the 08 team was absurdly more talented than the 22 team so I don’t care which era they play, 08 wins every single time.
Really weird thing to put in all their career stats since all those guys are retired and the 2024 team clearly has a long way to go. Just look at the guys you listed and their ages. On average the two teams are more or less identical, 92 was a year older than 24 and that’s entirely due to LeBron who’s still preeeetty good.

RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
@approxinfinity a few guys aren’t that’s for sure. But we also have Ant, Tatum, AD, Bam, etc. that are. Magic and Bird were over the hill in 92. Just as an example, the leading scorer on that team was Barkley. Would he even be able to make the team in 24?
-
RE: Dream Team 2024 vs 1992
On talent and skill this group is better and it’s not remotely close. We’ll see how they do when the games count
-
RE: 2024-25 Kansas Basketball Schedule
@wissox I’m not too broken up about it. Most games the place wasn’t full. It was always sold out but there were usually GA seats empty up in the corners or even in the student section

@Texas-Hawk-10 I think you have the chain of causality backwards. New members are more beholden to special interests than more senior members. They haven’t been able to develop a unique relationship with their voters so they have to maintain close ties with the groups that supported them originally. For example, if someone were to challenge Senator Moran they’d have to get the support of AFP, Farm Bureau, the Chamber, etc to mount a real challenge. Jerry can go it alone because his constituents know and trust him. More recently, whether it’s JD Vance or Rafael Warnock, they have to pander to stick around. Their senior staff also come largely from special interests since they don’t have a network on the Hill yet.
I’m going to tell you right now, going down this rabbit hole isn’t going to be productive because this is something we will never see eye to eye on. You’re too tied into the that world because of your agriculture background while I’ve seen my profession fucked over countless times because of special interest groups lobbying for policies that actively harm public education. I’m not going to change your mind and you’re not going to change my mind on this matter so I’d suggest leaving this here.
Ag, public finance, working on the Hill, in a state legislature, regularly meeting with lobbyists, did a PhD in education policy…
The Texas education wars are a good example. Special interests are playing on both sides (unions vs. business) in GOP primaries. It’s not special, there are hundreds of millions poured into elections from groups on all sides of the issue.

RE: Tornados
@kjayhawks I totally disagree. If you turn over the Congress constantly you get 1) greater influence by lobbyists. It takes years to become a serious policy expert. And there aren’t term limits for lobbyists so they’re always going to be more knowledgeable than members on issues if you have term limits. 2) you’ll empower the administrative state. Same logic applies. Members of Congress without expertise can’t write clear, thorough laws so they write vague laws with gaps the administration fills in on a whim. The ACA is probably the best example of a very poorly written law that has spawned approximately a gazillion regulations, intended or not, from unelected bureaucrats. There will be more of them without an informed Congress. We need much more Congressional capacity, not less.

RE: Tornados
Term limits and reducing the influence of parties and PACs are fundamentally irreconcilable

Staff watched Darryn Peterson and Alijah Arenas today at the Adidas event.
Imagine if we go from Peterson to Arenas. Sheesh.
Wing U into 2 guard U
So I was thinking about a Peterson/Kease back court next year and well
I’ve been praying for a backcourt like that. Pure bucket getters
I think we still go get a PG in the portal. Bill loves ball handlers

There could definitely be some smoke with Arenas. For anyone who isn’t already aware, he is the son of Gilbert Arenas, who had a signature shoe with Adidas and Adidas will still put out retro Agent 0 shoes from time to time. KU could be in a pretty good spot there.
But, his dad also played at Arizona, so I have to imagine they will be a big factor in his recruitment as well.
KT is in there deep as well. I know there is some message board banter about why does Bill keep him etc… But he definitely earns it.
He’s got a really tough gig. It’s always been a truism in recruiting that west coast kids are the toughest to pull.

RE: 2024-25 Kansas Basketball Schedule
Some deets on the updated AFH. Big headline: capacity drops to 15,300 https://kuathletics.com/news/2024/7/11/mens-basketball-season-tickets-celebrating-the-70th-season-of-allen-fieldhouse-now-on-sale.aspx?utm_medium=email&elq_cid=2773&RSRC=Email&RDAT=2800&ehash=5e5af03ba464a753cb3f74331d5e90024a18113f29636941c33101594ac92ee1&aid=16092&pid=kansas_email_eloqua&rid=2800

RE: Jayhawks in the pros
It’s super cool he’s choosing to play since it’s his first opportunity but sheesh. He’s still not right

RE: Jayhawks in the pros
Joel starting for Team USA tonight! On FS1 right now

RE: Recruiting Notes
Haven’t read it (I don’t subscribe) but really like where we’re at with Peterson. Sounds like the ship has sailed with Acuff

RE: Jalon Daniels
Jalon is by far the most important player for the success of the season. Wishing him nothing but the best. And 2 more years!

RE: Early Hearings TM
@Crimsonorblue22 yep he’s rehabbing now. Should be full strength by next offseason without any setbacks
-
RE: Football Musings
@jayballer67 it certainly helps. I can pretty much guarantee the east side renovation won’t start until after the 2026 season at the earliest

RE: Football Musings
Suite demand is much better than expected. West side almost completely sold

Arrowhead is going to be dirt cheap on the secondary market, there’s about a 0.000001% chance we come close to filling it regularly. Children’s Mercy, good luck.
Are they even opening the upper level at Arrowhead or just the lower bowl for KU games?
Entire stadium is available

This was definitely a “have to run the race” recruitment for KU, even though we never really had a shot

RE: So, Kansas Reinstated the Border War (for the Chiefs)
@dylans uh none of that has anything to do with what I said

RE: Keeping track of the ever changing 24-25 roster
Love the fit for Kev in NY. Glad they could interrupt their Bronny coverage to say a couple words about him
-
RE: Recruiting Notes
@kuballin10 for sure. It’s a heck of a lot easier to get an elite PG in the portal than an elite wing. I know Peterson fancies himself a point but he’s just not going to be in college
-
RE: So, Kansas Reinstated the Border War (for the Chiefs)
@mayjay it’ll be interesting to see if the A’s move actually happens. As far as I can tell pretty much everyone but the A’s owner wants them to stay in Oakland. They’re supposed to start there in 2028 but don’t even have land yet. The whole thing is quite the cluster.
-
RE: So, Kansas Reinstated the Border War (for the Chiefs)
@dylans of course it did. The city would’ve gotten discovery to look into the Rams books and the NFL is absolutely paranoid about anyone seeing how much teams make. That’s a heck of a motivator to settle instead of have this all public at trial
-
RE: So, Kansas Reinstated the Border War (for the Chiefs)
@kjayhawks any threat to relocate is pure posturing to get more public subsidy. Just like Jacksonville was never going to London or the Titans were never leaving Nashville or the Bills were never leaving Buffalo but they all got nice (for ownership) deals from their cities
-
RE: So, Kansas Reinstated the Border War (for the Chiefs)
@dylans it’s right there, not exactly groundbreaking journalism, “ The settlement, reached in mediation, ends a 4½-year-old lawsuit filed in the wake of the Rams’ departure. Kroenke and the NFL had failed in bids to have the lawsuit dismissed or at least moved out of St. Louis, and courts were sympathetic to the St. Louis side’s effort to disclose financial information of team owners – rulings that hastened the push for a settlement.” https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/32706415/source-nfl-settles-st-louis-lawsuit-rams-relocation-los-angeles-790m
