@rockchalkjayhawk Veach doesn’t like to have glaring needs going into the draft, but the cap it pretty tight. Need to trade or sign Sneed and that would clarify the salary cap situation. There is about 30 million in wiggle room in Mahomes contract by converting salary to a roster bonus or some nonsense that spreads the cap hit out over multiple years. You eventually have to account for it though.

No tears better than expected! Should be able to practice next Monday. Go for ncaa's. Kevin ready to go Monday.
Best case scenario but even without a tear...he really...eh I'm not a doctor lol
I really hope he’s ok. My shoulder has been messed up since October (should’ve let go of that dang gate…) with no visible tears. Might need the bursa sac scoped out - I’m no athlete so I’ll just deal with the pain for a few more months and see if it heals itself. ie the dumb I’m tough guy routine. - let it hurt for a year and get it scoped anyway instead of getting it done right away.
If Hunter can just recover with no surgery or long term issues…that would be amazing. It looked bad.
@rockchalkjayhawk 7.4mil in year one. 35 mil in year 2, 41 million in year 3. 12 million in dead cap if he’s cut after year 3. 30 million signing bonus is spread over all 5 years evenly and his salary varies from year to year. 31.8million average per year.
Forgive me if I’m off a little I’m going off the top of my head. I’ll post a link if I can find it.
What I find funny is the amount of headspace KU owns in rival fan bases. I’ve been told about every KU loss by a rival fan - OU and KSU fans mostly, but I have not heard one thing about their wins. Sad, sad people. Can’t even enjoy their team’s victory as much as watching their rival lose. I’d say that’s the definition of a loser.
@jayballer67 Ehhh He was stretching out that sore knee from the court storming. Poor guy, how could anyone think otherwise?!? 😂

@wissox Who’s the second team? Cincinnati? I think the Royals signed Bobby Witt to a huge deal.
@wissox You’re supposed to to the Yankee thing and overpay the Royals free agents so the home team can’t retain the good talent they’ve developed.
@rcjhdraft I’d you don’t see it you don’t see it. Not gonna argue.
Wow. KU is really bad without Harris. Not that they were good at any point tonight, but the Harris-less lineup is horrendous

@dylans Can't remember; how did he do in Lawrence when Houston played there?
Kept them in the game single handedly.
Looked it up- Cryer had 24 points. 6-12 from three. He’s always clutch against KU.

Can we trade Elmarko early? Lol
Cryer has been NBA Jam on fire against KU since his Baylor days. Just scorches the nets.
While I don’t particularly like the current state of a Wild West unregulated basketball, I’m glad basketball teams may have a way to fund NIL. The NCAA has screwed basketball over hardcore on revenue for decades.
@HoraceZontal better!
@jayballer67 There is one more scholarship that KU must forfeit sometime over the next two seasons. If there are 8 spots to fill that might be a good time to get the penalty taken care of.
Sean Payton looks pretty bad throwing Hackett under the bus the way he did. Now he’s cussing his QB out on the sideline and s-cans him in less than a year. I’m beginning to think Drew Brees made Payton look better at coaching than he would’ve looked elsewhere.
@dylans said in 2024 NFL Offseason - FAs, Trades, Draft:
@AsadZ Many experts keep saying Russ will play for a million bucks. I don’t think he will. His career is nearing the end and he can double dip this year. Maybe he signs a cheap 15 mil one year deal, but I would be surprised if he takes the league minimum.
80 million in dead money for Denver. Wow. Russ played half way decent last year. Sean Peyton must absolutely hate Russel Wilson, this isn’t just a football move.
- I am wrong. Russ will likely play for 1.2mil next year. Any money another team pays Wilson comes off the money Denver owes him. Just as well let Denver eat it all.
@approxinfinity said in Dam JD 6 gifts the entire team:
@jayballer67 umm so he spends NIL on everything else ;)
That’s funny. Need a laughing emoji response on here.
I’m guessing he meant an NIL deal is not covering the watches directly, JD is paying the income tax on the money that bought the gift.
KU was a 10 loss 2 seed in 2014 - bounced in second round by Stanford. No Embiid. Most losses I can remember a top 2 seeded KU team having.
Need Chris Jones to come to an agreement (or not) so Veach can move unencumbered in free agency (assuming he has a trade partner for Sneed). Cap space as is, is very tight and they still have key free agents - Gay, Tranquil, Danna, Jones! unsigned. The first shoe dropped with the tag on Sneed. Hope that signals a deal with Jones is eminent.
@FarmerJayhawk said in Wounded Jayhawks game thread:
@approxinfinity we’re due for sure. 22 kinda made up for the all time bad luck in 20
I dunno. That 2020 team was one of my favorites. I still feel hollow about the sport. 2022 wasn’t even that great for me following the huge disappointment that was 2020.
While others are extremely pissed that KU is only a top 15 team, I’m pretty damn happy they’re doing this well with no horrendous baggage on the team. Winning with Arterio would just be gross. I’m glad I don’t have to rectify those feelings - good because KU won, bad because they won with no morals.
Maybe if 2020 didn’t happen I would be less apathetic, but I’m not going to get too worked up over a few losses. This team doesn’t have “it” so why put those expectations on them? Enjoy the ride.

I don’t miss Hudy. She added too much bulk and the players lost explosion. The current players are the issue, not the trainers.
@FarmerJayhawk I bet the bloody sock ends up in the Duke hall of fame! (Curt Schilling reference for ya)
@kjayhawks I think you are mistaken, I have never said Hunter is anything but good for this team.
This team as it is constructed would be terrible without Hunter. It’s debatable about where it would be with Udeh and Zuby.
@nuleafjhawk said in BYU Thread:
@dylans You know how the fanbase becomes "entitled", right? By winning. More than any other team in the history of college basketball (yeah, I know the NCAA knocked us back a few). If you're a Kansas fan, you expect to win. You don't make excuses for losing. Of course that's my entitled opinion.
Being too selfish to be self aware is how you become entitled. Lots of successful people are very well grounded.
UConn has a better program than KU currently, yet fans act like it’s a crime against Jesus himself when KU loses. This years KU team was overrated due to name recognition early on and is underperforming late due to injuries.
Self has set a standard that no one, not even himself can achieve. I pity the coach that follows him.
@bskeet That’s a much more eloquent and kind way of saying what I was thinking about our team to our entitled fanbase. Thank you, well done.
BYU just flipped the script. Will this be the moment that pushes KU into that top gear?!? Will this team win some road games now?
@DCHawker KJs missed bunny’s late were killer. - it was a total team loss.
@jayballer67 No duh

Nick sucks, Morris is ?, and McCullar is on the bench.
Wtf Dickinson?!? lol what a night
Why do we not drive on every one of those player that have 4 fouls until they are out of the game?
Need to make a shot
Need to make a shot
Get it to Hunt!
Furphy’s disappearing act needs to end.
Braun still has energy! Nice to see!!!
28 threes. When could KU foul you? dumbass
I wish the announcers feed would either completely cut out or stay on. This off and on nonsense is wretched.
Boo
Hunters arms are covered in a record of the fouls not called.
Did BYU bring the female announcer? Sure hope they take her back to Utah. She has yet to say a complimentary thing about the home team.
BYU is kinda dirty
@RockChalkinTexas still going around it seems. Get it over before March!
KJ looks gassed. Hope he gets his legs back soon. Flu sucks.
