Tuition & fees at KU for out-of-state students is $28,239.

Maybe they should get more, but student-athletes on full scholarship aren’t getting nothing.

Oddly enough I’m kind of intrigued to see Bill with a ragtag squad.

I agree. I’ve never been that interested in recruiting drama. I get that talent is important, but without time to develop, expectations are rarely met. That’s just disappointment. Let’s see how Bill can do with a bunch of 4-year players without the NBA distractions. I like the silver lining.

@Crimsonorblue22 That could easily be a big part of it. Lots of kids have a hard time moving away from home for the first time, especially when the challenges exceed their expectations.

I like it!

I read that article too, and was thinking what a good job our coaches do at teaching players how to communicate with the media (what not to say). Q never whined or complained in public, nothing that could get printed. Self was always positive about him. Why he decided to transfer after the NBA didn’t work out is a mystery to me.

If they don’t, the coaches should also coach players NOT to read sites like this one. We’re probably less nasty than most sites, but I agree that nothing good can come of players reading our inexpert evaluations.

I think we dodged a bullet.

I’m not allowed to discuss a university student’s grades with a parent, without the student’s written permission. Doesn’t matter who is paying the bills. I’m pretty happy about that.

Except we’re in daylight savings, so it must be 7:30am CDT.

Time over space is confusing.

Really hard to know because last year at this time we were being touted as a preseason #1.

Yes, and how’d that work out for us?? I really enjoy the years more when expectations are lower and we exceed them. How can you exceed the expectations of a preseason #1? Chances are they won’t even be met, and we will be disappointed.

I choose to embrace the cautious optimism suggested by @drgnslayr . Things are looking up, and it should be fun!
