Word being put out there from other big names as well. Sounds like some guys are not getting nearly what they were promised. Meanwhile business as usual for the old powers.
So the checks aren't cashing...we need a KU T. Boone Pickens to step in and take care of our guys. I heard Oscar is making 2 mil a year.
Don't think we will be playing in that pool but we are fine.
@drgnslayr They basically do. Family/handlers.
Just saw this, Slater is the best lol

It’s a zoo. An unregulated zoo. Bound to get way worse.
Guys that didn't fulfill promises will start finding it more difficult to recruit, I reckon.
@FarmerJayhawk Yes, he is eligible to play this year. Send Cam to Washburn.

@Jethro Hmm hmm hmm. Bill would have to do someone dirty to make room. Doubt it happens.
KU will be skating free I imagine...
Lol what happened here. I was just goofing back.
He better be TOAST.
Confirmed the victim was a woman.
@dylans Oh I know, just talking about what I would want.
@BeddieKU23 My cop buddy said this
"He will hire an attorney who’s buddy buddy with the prosecutor, he will pay him whatever he can to get out of it and it will be some shitty plea deal"
@BeddieKU23 He should never coach again idgaf. I'm guessing he moneys out of jail.
@Jethro said in Chris Beard Arrested:
He's a drinker- you can tell it by how red his face always is. Alcohol makes people do insane things, like choking your wife.
Yep. Notoriously hard to work for/with too, churns through assistants. Contrast with Self.
3rd degree felony is pretty serious. Presumably choked his wife but I'm sure we will hear more on this.
Developing story here WOW.
@jayballer67 Worry about the Packers. :)
Stressful, Mahomes was not good today.
@AsadZ said in Border War Game Thread:
I do not recall any KU team in recent history that looks so much better when one player is on the court and likewise struggles when the same player in not playing.
That player to me is Juan.
KJ isn't terribly far behind either. Big drop off to any of the bench bigs just in terms of the offense being ran correctly. His improvement has been remarkable.

Another thought is Kevin has been great the last two games. Was so smart to not bother playing him against Texas Southern.
Game changer. Has had 17, 18, and 21 in 3 of his past 4 games. Can get you 8-10 boards a night, is a theft in passing lanes. Perfect player for this team. Find the corners for open 3's and cut to the basket for layups. Dude is trying to compete with Jalen for Alpha on this team and if you watch them two's chemistry together it's fun to watch
A few weeks ago, our critics/fans were calling for McCullar to be benched in favor of MJ Rice.
I was fairly adamant that he would not continue to be that bad because it was even worse than he had been at Tech historically. Well now he is healthy and comfortable in the system and is far exceeding that. If we get around Texas Tech McCullar that helps a lot, if we get THIS McCullar we can hang with most.
@rockchalkjayhawk Check the behind the wall section.

Didn't want to bother with making a thread about this so I'll put it here.
That Missouri team is one of the worst coached teams I have seen us play against this year. I only watched a bit of the end of their game against Wichita in addition to this so idk how indicative this has been for them overall but it felt like the Texas Southern game again only Missouri was somewhat more skilled but quite possibly less athletic. I went and looked, Gates had a 55.6 winning percentage at Cleveland State. Interesting hire.

@jayballer67 He was bad. I would bet almost anything he won't be a factor for this team. If he could defend at all he could help but that is just not the case.
I'll be happy to own up to this if I am wrong and there is a "Cam Martin game" so to speak.
not really saying your wrong - -just saying that's pretty good to get all that out of a 2 minute on the floor time
This was more that my opinion was formed based on what I've heard and seen over time. I have been on record thinking he was not going to contribute from the start of this season. Would be nice if he could though.

@justanotherfan rebounding will absolutely plague this team going forward. Good team but has warts.
The 7 man rotation having basically no true bigs is something I never thought I'd see from Self. Not much posting up in general either.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Border War Game Thread:
@BShark same as Juan's! So what are you going to do?
Go spend time with my mom while she is still here. Watch the Chiefs game together. :hugging_face:

My birthday is tomorrow, a nice early present from KU hoops.
Cam's play today should kill any and all talk of him getting real playing time right? Right??
@KirkIsMyHinrich said in Border War Game Thread:
Mizzou football coach Eli Drinkwitz was at the game and had a sign that said "five level one violations."
What a chickenshit clown
Let's fix that
@Crimsonorblue22 You know who hasn't been here lately is the user I suspect is not actually a KU fan...
@jayballer67 said in Border War Game Thread:
Ok let's be totally honest. - -Did NOT see that coming - not that spreada. - -Anyone else being honest ?
I did know their defense was bad but I thought they would score more. This was in a twitter chat on this Monday.

Can't wait for Twitter burns coming!! 👏
Mitch had a great one

@BShark where u b?
Enjoying every minute of Father Bill baptizing Dennis Gates.
@approxinfinity I did. Really didn't have a response but I read any dm I get.
@wissox Feeling like a team of destiny.
@rockchalkjayhawk I saw where Wahl's wife is claiming he was not sick so things are murky for sure. Sad that we even have to think about it.
@wissox Quite possible yes. He was kicked out of a game and detained for a bit earlier. Then the last article he published last night was about how they just don't care about all the migrant worker deaths.
Something I will be following for sure. Very sad.
I think most here know but he is from Kansas originally. Wrote the Mario's Miracle article for SI.
Just took a dark turn. Grant Wahl is dead. Confirmed by NPR.
What a day.
@Crimsonorblue22 said in Kansas basketball coach Bill Self says Jayhawks are healthy and ready for Saturday's showdown with Missouri:
@BShark silly boy🙋♂️
Wanna bet?
@AsadZ Absolutely nothing.
The Missouri game is going to be a lot closer than many KU fans suspect...
If Portugal decides to keep playing a useful player instead of #7 I am higher on their chances.
