I don’t disagree with what you’re saying at all. I guess I just love that “prove you wrong/everyone else, never stop grinding and going to fight my way to the top mentality.” I know it’s not everyone and every situation. I just feel I see more of it now with the portal being the way it is, than ever. I’m sure every situation is different though.
I think NIL changes that to some degree too. Exposure is monetized. If you aren’t getting into games, you aren’t getting paid.

I look at KU lineup and there is a lot of talent but the think that strikes my the most is the fact McCormack and agbaji are experienced players who stuck around and didn’t go into the draft. I think Agbaji could have been a 2nd round draft pick. Imagine if Ayo would have stuck around for an additional year how good would we have been (btw he made the right decision going pro)

This whole portal thing has to be exhausting for the coaching staff. It's like you have to recruit all 13 kids every year instead of just 3-4 new ones.
Sure it might be "exhausting' to some of these coaches but they're all getting paid quite a bit of money to do what they do so they might as well earn it.

Also, I have the upmost respect & trust in Coach Underwood's judgement in talent evaluation of recruits & their potential. Haven't had that in quite some time (understatement of the century lol)

Did anyone happen to listen to Ant Wright's podcast and hear what he said about Skyy?
I'm still listening half out of curiosity, half because I don't care too much who wins the UNC-Kansas game. He's totally stalling on getting to the point with what he wants to say about Skyy Clark.

He did say that he scheduled Hunter Dickinson to talk before the Skyy Clark news, and he knows everyone is listening to hear about Skyy Clark, so please don't complain to him, lol.
