Who Stays and Who Goes? 2015-16 Big 12 Season Lookahead (Part 4 – Kansas Jayhawks)
The Jayhawks will have at least three McDonald’s All-Americans on the roster for 2015-16, and that’s not even including Frank Mason, who’s arguably KU’s best player. Kansas’ offseason is far from complete; expect Self to land at least one more big-name recruit before the signing period ends. Even if Oubre and Alexander both leave, the Jayhawks return the core of a team that won 27 games. They should be deep, talented, and experienced – all five projected starters at this point are upperclassmen.

VIDEO - KU football coach David Beaty "Mic'd Up" for first practice | All Eyes on KU | KUsports.com
The video gives you a great look at the constant energy and urgency that Beaty operates with during practices. This was not just him putting on a show because he knew the mic was on. In fact, a good guess would be that he forgot he was wearing the thing about 10 minutes into practice.
An Introduction to Kansas ILB Ben Heeney - Dawgs By Nature
Meet Ben Heeney. The best player in the NFL draft you've never heard of. Blame that on the fact that he played at the University of Kansas, not on him. The 6'0, 235 pound Senior ILB from Hutchinson, Kansas has impressive skills and production and would be a terrific addition to the Cleveland Browns.
Baseball - Jayhawks Stay In-State, Travel to Wichita to Face Shockers

Rock Chalk Weekly: A Multi-Sport Athlete
"I think it was important to participate in all sports," Tim said. "Life is a sport. Sports teach you how to handle life, whether it is a team sport or an individual sport.

UConn coaches won't attend Final Four due to controversial Indiana law - CBSSports.com
Ollie and Co. have opted out -- and basically been forced to, because UConn is a state-backed institution and so the university is now prohibited from sending its employees to Indiana for business-related purposes. A travel This ban was put into effect on Monday by Connecticut governor Dannel Malloy. The ban prevents any state-funded business to be paid for, via flights or other transit, into Indiana.
(Mr. Ed says: Many other states have similar laws, including Missouruh and Kansas. Will UConn not be traveling to those states either? Can they now not recruit those states?)
Sometimes, it's the NCAA tournament losses that linger in a coach's memory more than the memorable wins.
Is this football's next big coaching breakthrough? | FOX Sports
J. Craig Flowers is the man in the video, a retired Army colonel and the executive vice president of APTUS Discovery, a company formed in 2009. Their assessments--one for football and one that's universal and can be used for other sports, the military, education or the corporate world--lift the veil for coaches on an important attribute that too often goes overlooked: How a player learns.
