Cut down day! Yea nothing crazy so far. Maybe S Mike Edwards not making the squad, but otherwise nothing crazy. Carson Steele seems like a good special teamer, but maybe he'll end up on the practice squad.

The big question is who will they add?? Excited to see. Lots of rumors swirling.

Slightly off topic here…but the announcers for the KU football game the other day were not good. What’s his name the play by play guy needs to retire. I get it, but Both knew very little about the teams.

The YTTV email about FOX should resolve itself pretty quickly. We get these standstills in negotiations at least once a year it seems. I don’t recall any of them lingering. Bad PR for both if it does.

The ever changing landscape of TV sports • Aug 25, 2025 04:30 AM

Ok, I was trying to make sense of this as @wissox was. It’s pretty confusing. Not user friendly at all.

At first I thought ESPN select for 11.99 a month would be fine, then saw this note about the 29.99 a month Unlimited:

ESPN Unlimited plan subscribers have access to all ESPN networks and ESPN+, with sports like NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB, tennis and golf majors, WWE, SEC, ACC, and Big 12 football and basketball.

It seems intentionally vague so you buy the pricier option. I’m confused for sure!

Is it possible that the TNT and TBS agreement will cover those games not on Select?

Effers!

The ever changing landscape of TV sports • Aug 25, 2025 03:26 AM

$30 a month??? Holy crap. That’s up from $11.99? Holy smokes.

I knew ESPN had some big changes coming, but that’s nutso.

2025 Chiefs • Aug 23, 2025 08:21 PM

I watched the game last night. glad to see the starters get some minutes.

Sounds like they are looking for some help at RB. I really don't understand why Mitchell isn't getting any respect. He seems like a good player to me, having watched him with the 49ers.

Ari Wolf’s voice is that of a cartoon dork. Strange to hear during an nfl football game.

Was he half crying while trying to talk?

Bill Self guys in the NBA

Furphy, McCullar, Dick, Wilson, Agbaji, Braun, Grimes, Azubuikie, Gramah, Svi, Josh Jackson, Mason, Diallo, Oubre, Embieed, Wiggins, McLemore, Withey, T-Rob, Taylor, Morri, Selby, Aldrich, Henry, Arthur, Chalmers, Giddens, Darnell Jackson, Sasha, Rush, Ju Ju, Simien

Already forgot about Furphy. Wow.

Does Grimes really count? If inducted into the college hall of fame he would not be wearing a Jayhawk jersey!

Simien and Giddens I was attributing to Roy since he recruited them.

Bunch of studs on that list. I’m pretty sure Tarik Black played for the Lakers and Rockets briefly too - not a drafted player.

I’m glad you mentioned Tarik Black. Yup. My lists are not complete. The website database I was using lists guys in a funny way. I’ll have to fill in the blanks. Sherron Collins, too!

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 05:48 PM

So the question was how many Jayhawks have played in the NBA/ABA. Pretty broad and hard to answer. So the answer is 87!

The first being Giff Roux in 1947.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 05:39 PM

Jayhawks in the NBA From 1970-1989. OK, the true number is 14.
I originally sorted by draft year.

Jo Jo White

Pierre Russell

Roger Brown

Dave Robisch

Bud Stallworth

Norm Cook

John Douglas

Paul Mokeski

Darnell Valentine

Brian Martin

Carl Henry

Ok. Wow. (I am surprised.) Who am I missing? Do I have those right?

I’ll break it down a bit later for ya.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 03:58 PM

The site I’m using sadly doesn’t break it down obviously between NBA and ABA. So, would require some extra footwork to see.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 03:42 PM

@bskeet said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

Maybe a lot more in the ABA than I realized. When you give the answer, it would be interesting to see the ABA/NBA breakdown.

Also, in the 20 years from 1970 - 1989 I'd be surprised if there were more than 10 Jayhawks in the pros.

13

Damn, dude is rolling in the green. Great news.

I don’t really love how all those buildings abut the shiny, new stadium. Seems like they ruin the vision and view of the stadium. Stadiums need breathing room.

How many Jayhawks have played in the NBA/ABA?

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 02:38 AM

@bskeet said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

Wilt had a long run in the NBA. If it's not Wilt, probably Pierce given all the years and playoffs (and the seasons were longer too).

Paul Pierce for the win! 1,343

Wilt next up with 1,045

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 13, 2025 12:26 AM

@dylans said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

@rockchalkjayhawk Embiid. Is my guess. But it would be great if it was Ostertag.

Embiid is incorrect.

However…Ostertag it is!

This should be an easy one...but a footnote: Don't guess Wilt. Not sure they kept those stats back then.

QUESTION

Which Jayhawk has the most career 3 pointers made?

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 12, 2025 03:24 PM

Valentine for the win! Yea, those numbers were fractionally close.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 12, 2025 02:31 AM

@bskeet said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

1st guess: Kirk Heinrich

2nd guess: Mario Chalmers

Bzzz. But Hinrich is a good guess. Just a sliver behind the leader.

I'll offer a clue to those i know on the board (ha) ... it was a few years before my time at KU.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 12, 2025 12:04 AM

And remember, it's super duper close.

QUESTION

This is a real close one, but name the Jayhawk with the best assists per game average in the NBA.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 07:31 PM

Wiggins for the win!

Wilt -- 30.1

Embiid -- 27.7

Pierce -- 19.7

Wiggins -- 18.5

JoJo White -- 17.2

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 05:46 PM

@dylans said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

Wilt, Embiid, Pierce, Lovellette, jojo white. At least one of these is correct. 😝

Soo close! Lovellette just missed the cut...so who is the fifth?

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 05:26 PM

QUESTION

Name the all time Top 5 Jayhawks in scoring per game in the NBA.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 05:08 PM

This one may be too hard.

The correct answer is: Bill Bridges, who edged out Joel Embiid 11.9 to 11.0 in career rebounds per game

Bridges was at KU 58-61?

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 06:34 AM

@bskeet said in Random Jayhawk trivia questions!:

Clyde Lovellette?

Good guess, but nope.

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 04:33 AM

(may take a guess from somebody who's been around the block a few times or so to answer this one)

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 03:51 AM

Close, but no cigars yet…

Random Jayhawk trivia questions! • Aug 11, 2025 01:20 AM

I found a nice resource for all the Jayhawks who have played in the NBA.

I assume it's up to date.

So, to beat the summer doldrums i'll pose some trivia questions to see if anybody can or wants to answer -- without looking up the answers! These questions all pertain to past Jayhawks.

Once we get a correct answer, i'll post another.

QUESTION

Of all the Jayhawks and ONLY Jayhawks who have played in the NBA, who ranks SECOND in rebounds per game average?

So apparently we weren’t done recruiting for this year?

class of 2025 small forward, Billy White III committed to Southern Methodist University.

Last week, we reported White's announcement of Kansas inside his final few schools, with the news first being broken by Joe Tipton, yet White chose elsewhere

@Jhawk69 said in KU Roster for 25-26:

@dylans After seeing Zuby at St Johns its a no brainer to pick him over Hunter. Hindsight is 20 20 though.

Close, but Hunter only averaged 18 and 10! :)

KU Roster for 25-26 • Aug 08, 2025 09:22 PM

I admit i have absolutely no clue how good or bad we'll be. Never seen anybody play except Flory and Elmarko, who wasn't much at the time.

So, fingers crossed we are a cohesive unit. Guessing team chemistry can't be as bad as last year's cluster F.

On paper, I do think we have some deficiencies...shooting (my usual complaint), size at the two big spots.

It will be exciting to see DP though. I sure hope he's truly the second coming.

2025 Chiefs • Aug 06, 2025 02:32 AM

Sounds like RT Jawaan Taylor had a torn meniscus most of last season.
Hope he's on the mend after surgery.

Kingsley i think will make most nervous until he can prove himself reliable.

2025 Chiefs • Aug 05, 2025 09:46 PM

Can't wait!

I guess the major question for the chiefs this summer is which WRs are healthy and available?

Jayhawks in the pros • Jul 30, 2025 06:08 PM

Marcus Morris update after his arrest:

According to court documents, Marcus Morris allegedly received $115K from the MGM Grand Hotel and Casino via bad checks in May 2024 and never paid it back when the checks bounced. The following month, he took $150K in a similar fashion from the Wynn Las Vegas Hotel and Casino. There were two felony counts in each case — drawing or passing a check for $1,200 or more with the intent to defraud and theft valued at $100K or more.
