KU renovating Touchdown Club in south end zone | KUsports.com
What's everyone's take on this. I guess the money is good, but it catches a lot of grief from around the league from being amateur.

Vandy transfer Andre Walker plans to visit KU basketball | KUsports.com
Nothing to lose with this one. Fills out the roster, adds depth and experience on the interior and it's a one year commitment.

Hey hey...junior national champion. Not sure what that means in the grand scheme of track and field but it sounds important.
Selby lectured about maturity by Grizzlies coach and executives | KUsports.com
"He says he’s not cocky. Well, I beg to differ," Grizzlies assistant general manager Kenny Williamson told the Commercial-Appeal. "All players have egos. It’s how you carry it. And maybe he carried it a little differently. But right now, after talking to him, he’s been humbled."

Austin Hatch, Michigan Wolverines recruit, in critical condition after plane crash - ESPN
Pretty crazy story. Hopefully he can recover and bounce back although this has to be one of the more horrible things I've heard in a while.

Andre Walker would be a big get, imo
I think we can all agree that the frontcourt is this year’s main area of concern, and we weren’t able to get any immediate-impact recruits there. Walker may not be an All-Big 12 player, but he would be solid, experienced help for next year. Like Owen said, it would only be for one season, so it wouldn’t impact next year’s recruiting. There’s no downside to getting him.

Yeah
I wouldn’t mind us grabbing him at all. Suddenly you got Robinson, Withey, Young, Walker… four experienced guys plus the two freshman. You could go to war with that group of bigs

On the south endzone seating
I think the version of it they had set up at the Spring Game looked better than the strange collection of isolated seats it used to be. It almost seems like they’re trying to make it a smaller version of the party deck out at Kauffman Stadium now.

Would have likes to see the bigger suite project
But the program needs money to keep up with the Whiny Orange – I suppose Touchdown Club is better than nothing.
On Webb - he is just a RS soph
No he hasn’t really impressed so far, but there is some hope that he still has room to grow. At least the offseason reports are “deserves a ton of credit for improving dramatically” – maybe not worth a ton considering the “best shape of his life” fluff that’s usually written this time of year, but still better than a “struggled last season, still struggling” report.

I'm holding out hope
Realistically, everyone improves after their first season at QB. It doesn’t mean he’ll be great, but there’s no way Webb won’t be better this year.
