So much to unpack in this excellent story. Is this the new normal for all college coaches in all sports now influenced by NIL money and the portal? I should mention that Bill himself has missed a lot of games in recent years, a bad ticker among other culprits. But he's not avoiding anything, and I think this kid is. No loyalty to university or fellow students by giving it all. I remember another Jayhawk at the opposite end of that spectrum, Nick Collison, who left layers of skin and dribbles of blood on the court every night fighting for the blue nation. Sigh.

Ughh. Money ruins everything
Please, please don't select this guy. Can you imagine him 50 games into a 12-38 season. "Let's shut it down."
