Several comments from Gildersleeve getting the players back on campus, what he sees, and the excitement he has for the futre.

Some thoughts from Kyron Johnson after the Senior Bowl and his thoughts on KU under Leipold

The two senior women (in Michigan blue/gold) in the background front row, on the left-hand side of this replay. They even comment back-and-forth while punches fly all around them. Lol. Terrible sitch but these two had me rolling...

Biatch slapped a Wisconsin assistant coach after the game in the handshake line after he and Gard got into an argument. Then a scrum broke out. Bad look for him and Michigan. He's getting a suspension

Self on HawkTalk: Said they haven't always played great in Morgantown, but played well enough.

The RPI hurt Iowa by 4 spots and Arkansas by 3 spots.
All the rest were +/- 2 spots or less.

Gonzaga was #1 in every category except for RPI, which they were 14th. That was enough to make them fall to #2 overall. If they were 12th they would be #1.

3/15 ACC (26, Duke only team in top 31)

Big Ten with 6 teams in the top 25, but only 1 in top 13 (Purdue #8).

There has been some discussion about how the current staff is approaching in-state recruiting. Just thought it might be interesting to see what the historical trend has been. This graph shows scholarship offers to Kansas kids of all stripes (including JUCOS) in black and offers to Kansas high schoolers alone in white. These data are from the Rivals database and there is inevitably some overlap in eras depending on when coaching transitions occurred. Digest and discuss.

Devin Nunes left his seat to run this pile of crap. Fun fact: this wasn't built from the ground up, it's a Mastadon fork.

So Eastern Michigan has always been a thorough program when it comes to evaluations under Creighton.

Then the fact former KU asst Brandon Blaney is recruiting the area and knows Bowen means he got a really good report to offer.

What allowed the game to get out of reach

"I thought what broke our back was throwing the ball into them. Just careless. You could see everybody's head go down."


YES!!!

Without a ball with coaches and then player led 7s

Noticing an advertisement the other day for new South Park season coming out, I stopped to think how long that show's freaking been on and when I first watched it.

I remembered clearly when it premiered and watching it with girlfriend at time and friends and it being the biggest thing (to me) since the Simpsons.

But nothing in the early episodes prepared me for Mr. Hanky the Christmas Poo. My roomate and I had the TV on at our place with a bunch of friends ready to go hit the bars before we all headed home for Christmas break. No one was really paying attention, and then that came on. By the end of the bit, the apartment was dead silent and all our jaws were dropped and frozen. It was probably 90% of what anyone talked about the rest of the night.

Random Runner Ups:

- Survivor season 1 finale (I wasn't watching it, but everyone was dead silent and glued to the TV at the Irish Bar I was at)
- Janet Jackson Super Bowl (was at a Super Bowl party and everyone in room was "wha, huh, did we just see that? Guessing same deal for millions and millions. I think that might be a little overrated because most of all of that was just trying to figure out what the hell happened and looking at grainy pictures on people's tiny flip phone screens).
- 2009's balloon boy. I remember clearly at work "There's this kid, and he's in a balloon and he got away!" and feel like an idiot being glued to TV with my coworkers trying to figure out what happened and was going on.

But, off the top of my head, nothing probably tops that South Park episode.

IRVING, Texas – Kansas senior Ochai Agbaji has been named the co-Big 12 Player of the Week, the league announced on Monday, marking the fourth time this season Agbaji has earned the weekly accolade. Iowa State’s Izaiah Brockington was also named the Big 12 Co-Player of the Week.

Agbaji averaged 21.5 points and was 13-for-14 from the line in two wins for Kansas last week. In the 76-62 victory versus Oklahoma State, the Kansas City, Missouri, senior guard led all scorers with 20 points, which included a career-high nine free throws in going 9-for-10 from the line. Agbaji also had four assists and a game-high three steals versus the Cowboys.

In the road 71-58 win at West Virginia, Agbaji once again led all scorers with 23 points, including 3-for-6 from three-point range and 4-for-4 free throws. In the WVU contest, Agbaji passed the 1,400 career points scoring mark, currently at 1,421 points. He has scored 20 or more points in 14 games this season.

This is the sixth Big 12 weekly honor for a Jayhawk this season. Agbaji has been named Big 12 Player of the Week four times (Nov. 15, Jan. 17, Jan. 24, Feb. 21), while junior guard Christian Braun (Dec. 6) and redshirt-sophomore Jalen Wilson (Feb. 14) have earned the honor once.

No. 5 Kansas (22-4, 11-2) will host Kansas State (14-12, 6-8) on Tuesday at 8 p.m. CST in the Dillons Sunflower Showdown. The game will be televised on ESPN.

No. 6 Kansas heads to Morgantown to face West Virginia on Saturday night at 7:00. KU dominated WVU in the first meeting back on January 15 and will look to sweep the season series on Saturday night. KU? WVU? Who you got?

Should Baylor be on upset alert? They probably will be short handed. This will be OSU’s super bowl considering their season is nearly over. OSU has some pieces. What’s peoples thoughts?

Any one want to debtate the quality of the 4 min played and -6 overall rating...I mean the backcourt is a mess..no Bobby no Remy...who are both better than Joe.
