I've come to realize that I really miss writing, especially about sports. I've enjoyed doing #kubball film breakdowns on here and thought I'd turn that into longer-form writing. Welcome to Jayhawk Theory! I'd love it if you'd subscribe and follow along. jayhawktheory.substack.com/p…

Took some heat this offseason for saying Kansas is F4 good and should be favorite to win Big 12. It's early but we sure sound a lot less crazy right now, right?
Replying to @EvanRRiggs
I definitely think Kansas should be the big 12 favorite with him eligible

That was fun. This is going to be a really fun KU team. AP voters should probably ignore their preseason poll and give this team a bit of a boost.

UK is daring Stokes to shoot every 3 and he’s burning them. Also, no surprise, but tells you about Stokes’ mentality that he missed his first few but has kept his foot on the gas.

Stokes, TK and TKR are all probably A or A+ passers for their position. An incredible luxury. Melvin when he’s back is probably more like B+ but is an A+ playmaker. The offense is going to be tough to deal with.
KU so far: 13 assists on 15 made baskets.

On the east coast this week, and I legitimately don’t get how people survive watching sports here. 10 pm local tip for KU and 11 pm local tip for OKC tonight. 💀

To the monitor to see if a play with barely above marginal contact is a flagrant in a 10-point game with 22 seconds left. Hell yes.

Feel awful for Melvin. To go through the long legal process he has and immediately get hurt sucks. For KU, in the past 4 years they’d be completely screwed with an injury like this. It obviously will not be easy, but they have guys who can step up. Good chance for them.
BREAKING: Melvin Council Jr. broke his foot in practice on Monday. He will have surgery this week. KU is "hopeful" he can return around the start of conference play, per Bill Self.

Brett Veach has one job and that’s to just ALLOW the greatest QB in franchise history to be great. Going on like 3-4 years where he’s made Mahomes work behind a bad OL throwing to WRs that create no separation on their own.

It was awesome to see Leroy Blyden make shots Monday, but he did much more than that. He finally looked comfortable and we saw the other stuff he can provide offensively outside of just shooting from 3.

Blyden playing this well is so great to see.

Just a devastating swing from 4th and a foot punt to a 3 pt game.
