Big 12 recruiting scorecard - ESPN
KANSAS: We've mentioned in this space before that 2016 RB Aubrey White was the kind of steal that Kansas will have to fight hard to keep over the next year. Well, guess who joined the Wylie (Texas) East back's offer list this weekend? Alabama. David Beaty is a master recruiter of the DFW area and might have to put in some serious work on White as that list keeps growing.
Season report card: Kansas Jayhawks - Big 12 Blog - ESPN
The Jayhawks can thank Bowen for escaping an F. KU went from a program with little hope to a program moving in a much better direction under Bowen. After Weis' departure it became clear the players considered Bowen an upgrade over Weis while becoming more entrenched and involved in the program.

The Day After: Runnin' past the Runnin' Rebels | Tale of the Tait | KUsports.com
The victory capped KU's non-conference record at 11-2, which, by all accounts, is pretty solid given the difficulty of KU's schedule. Many fans and critics will point to KU's two blowout losses (to Kentucky and Temple) as reasons to question this team — and it certainly remains a team with plenty of questions. But, given the fact that teams like Tennessee, Georgetown, Michigan State and UNLV were on the schedule, a case could be made that Kansas easily could have more than two losses.

Kansas basketball coach Bill Self talks with the media about the depth of the Big 12 as the Jayhawks begin conference play this week. Self says there were many times during the past 10 years when, at some point during a particular season, he wondered if KU had what it took to win the Big 12 championship.

No matter how you slice it, Frank Mason has been the Jayhawks' first-half MVP | FOX Sports
Self has referred to the Massachusetts native as his first-half-of-the-season MVP, and the metrics won't argue that point. Sports-Reference.com tracks a number of advanced college basketball statistics, but one of the most interesting is something called win shares per 40 minutes (WS/40) -- an estimate of the number of wins a player contributes to his roster on offense and defense per 40-minute interval.

The school called a news conference for Tuesday for Ray but did not elaborate on the purpose. Ray was SEC defensive player of the year and led the conference in sacks. (Mr. Ed says: Maybe he's just going to apologize for the hit that got him thrown out of the SEC title game?)
Poll Attacks: The Pac-12 edition - CBSSports.com
Let's make it a rule: If you're a borderline top-25 team that loses three straight games to unranked teams -- including one at home to an unranked America East foe -- in an eight-day span, you aren't allowed to subsequently appear on anybody's AP ballot.

Rich Eisen, Hannah Storm, & Others React Live To Stuart Scott's Death
Our media criticism in these parts often accuses television of being so lacking in basic sensibility that it has become post-human. Stuart Scott's death at 49 prompted a reminder that, yes, these are real people on TV; there's no more accurate a depiction of this than the tentative and often fragile on-air reactions of people who knew Scott to the news that he was dead.

The Benefits Of Naming A Race Horse "Harass"
Here's a video of a race Sunday at Florida's Gulfstream Park featuring a horse named "Harass." The horse's name sounds different in a race call, and Harass stays near the front of the pack, which means the announcer says it frequently, like, for example, "Julien Leparoux gets Harass going on the outside," or, "Here comes Harass!"
