  • Great Content, but…

    This pod is helpful to preview upcoming Jayhawk games, with good presentation of stats to get an objective look at KU opponents and how the Jayhawks are likely to fare. But host talks way too fast, making this a tough listen at times. Locked On format is great and host is knowledgeable…just slow it down a notch.

You can find better KU sports con... more

BENCH BLUES: Can Jayhawks FIX Themselves - Best & Worst Lineups + Kansas Football Film Reviews

Q: Do you think Kansas will get a one seed?
It's possible, but not very likely. UConn is one of the few teams that might have their one seed threatened, but Kansas would need to perform exceptionally well.

Q: What is going on with Darryn Peterson's performance and impact on the team?
Peterson is statistically better than most when off the floor, leading to questions on team chemistry and how KU functions without him.

Q: What do you think about the future of Kyle Whittingham?
I think he might end up in an NFL advisory role or possibly with Michigan for one year, but he may not be interested in a multi-year rebuild.
