I think Uconn should start a "only us and UCLA can claim to have similar stretches of greatness club, called Club U" and not bother with the Blue Bloods

I guess a guy wrote an entire PhD dissertation on this topic one time:

A lot of his self-worth must be tied up in this Blue Blood thing.  It has to be extremely frustrating to see UConn start from scratch and lap KU's historic accomplishments all in his lifetime.

Basically how I feel about Baylor, and it really ticks me off!

If sports aren’t a “what have you done for me lately” thing, then you personally have an issue you need to recognize so you don’t get taken advantage of.  The idea of tradition is simply someone getting in your pocket. What someone did more than one coach ago means rough ridin' zero.

Self is really whipping ass in the portal.

Apparently Kugel isn't going to make it due to academic stuff.

Source? We could really use his vaginal wall muscles.

I've watched a fair number of Kugel's games and I don't think his schizophrenia is a good pairing with Self. He scored 20+ five times this year and then had nearly half of his games where he scored 5 points or less.

He's all over the place and I wouldn't think Self would tolerate it too long.

Self's recruiting in the portal era has been incredibly lazy.  Seems to continue that trend.

just gonna pump and dump his roster each year

Just landed Rylen Griffin, and Dickinson is coming back. Maybe Furphy, too. It's been a pretty good portal season so far. Never bet against Billy Self Jr.

If Self talks Furphy out of a first round draft selection he's not as washed as I thought

The KU nil war chest is obviously very depleted or empty now and Self is obviously under a ton of pressure to make this class of transfer misfits work.  This isn't his schtick and now we will see how secure those plugs are.  Real or not his hair will be thinning by the clumps.
Fifteen minutes later, when the Kansas locker room opened its doors to the media, the Jayhawks were still crying. Literally, bawling. All of them. I've never seen anything like it, and I've seen devastated college locker rooms -- after losses in the Final Four, the national championship game -- ever
