The guy is a bit of a drama queen, and maybe is bitter about his son not playing as much (possibly just because he isn't very good), but this is what xxxxx xxxxx's dad said about ku and the berglund situation:
"Here's a sampling: Teammates having ZERO confidence in a new arrival that has participated in only a handful of workouts, threatened to quit team, constant arguing with a girlfriend, sitting at KCI Airport and having to be talked back to Lawrence by KU Coaches, criticizing your new teammates,
an OL that is threatening not to block for you, and comments being made to the local Lawrence media that hasn't sat too well with fellow KU players either. Yes, apparently a sick family member is in play as well. But, the other garbage isn't playing too well at the Anderson complex with players and coaches alike.
Need more: Why do some of these players feel the need to blatantly ignore the NCAA and University of Kansas Football Drug & Alcohol Policy? When you have mid year (new) arrivals, all the way up to seasoned Seniors failing drug test and some committing a second offense......well there is an issue there! What is Turner Gill to do? I can tell you this;
Kansas would have a hard time fielding a Big XII caliber team if Gill dropped the hammer on some these knuckleheads. Yes, that's how blatantly ridiculous this last round of testing went. This is the exact reason some of you wonder why such and such isn't seeing the field throughout the season.
Already have new and returning players having issues in the classroom.
When does this nonsense end? I guess never, since it goes on everywhere around the country, right?
The difference is that KU is not in the position to deal with this stuff and simply pull the next player up the depth chart.
Don't be so quick to criticize posters that are sick and tired of this behavior from KU Athlete's. The sad thing is, there are potential "Starters" getting into trouble already in this early off season. It's tiring and these young men have to grow up at some point in their careers."
