DMac and Och were fall semester freshmen when it started. At this rate, they’ll have degrees before the ncaa is done.

Agreed. If it's going to be a postseason ban, I would just prefer it be announced now so fans can adjust expectations and staff can begin recruiting for The Time After.

It's absurd that Oklahoma State had no idea if they were going to be able to play in the tournament this year because they received no guidance whatsoever from the NCAA.

KU chose the longer route, but the smarter route in the end. Unlike some schools, they pushed for the case to be decided by an independent review panel instead of the NCAA itself. That way, the decision is final, neither side can appeal, and it gives KU a better chance of avoiding major penalties since the NCAA lost the trial in the first place.

Jeremy Case is stepping into Howards role as an interim.

HCBS is in no hurry to make any decisions as they are in a recruiting "dead period." No travel to recruit through the end of May.

Howard was #3 on HCBS staff. He will be #1 on beards staff.

Were I a conspiracy theorist, I would note that a 2021-22 postseason ban announced in September 2021 is significantly more damaging than a 2021-22 postseason ban announced now.

Damaging to the players, not to the program. If punishing players is the goal then that would do it.

i know it’s not a huge loss for the program, but i’m kinda surprised so many here are ok with him going elsewhere in conference...particularly tejas

is it the beard effect?

would there had been more negativity if he had joined shaka's staff instead?

I don’t think so, because recruiting has flagged and what we do on the court has stagnated. It just doesn’t register as a big loss.

Mostly, I just tend to think if Bill absolutely wanted him to stay here, then he would still be here.



Otherwise, I did read this rumor last week when Beard announced and the fit makes sense for Snacks. It's a new program and quite different to me if he left to join Shaka whom was on very thin ice.

Wish it had been this year to be honest.
Rallying to beat Eastern Washington only to get smacked around by USC wasn't worth holding on to.

“Rallying to beat Eastern Washington“

should never be a thing at KU, imo

I'm with you on the going to UT part of it. Not good.

Wish it had been last year to be honest.

Woulda been the most ncaa thing ever to ban our postseason in February then the shit hit the fan in March.

And plus, the whole ordeal coulda been wrapped up in a shade under 2 years.

It wasn't a thing, so you're good.

All the more reason to replace him with a stud national recruiter.

Does Adidas still have one of those assigned to Kansas?

Self spoke today and is "thrilled" with interest in the job.

He'll find someone who is a great fit.

If danny wants to rejoin the staff then that open spot should be 110 percent his

Kind of telling Self wasn't willing or didn't feel the need to promote Snacks up over Norm or KT. Unless KT does more behind the scenes that we are unaware of it should be telling by that alone what Self thought of Snacks.

I've read on numerous boards that Danny didn't really recruit here so I would take him if Self forced either Norm or KT out. If he doesn't do that then I would pass on Danny for a young, hungry upcoming assistant who is a great recruiter.

Recruiting in the new world is just about farming the transfer wire every March and April.
