Fans could live with this. The Kansas football team entered last season with hefty expectations, with some outlets naming the Jayhawks potential Big 12 champions. But those hopes were quickly dispelled after a disappointing 1-5 start, and Lance Leipold's group failed even to make a bowl game. While several key contributors departed from the program this offseason, quarterback Jalon Daniels is back for one more season and the offense made promising additions.

Flory's potential backup? The Kansas basketball program still has four scholarships to fill. Flory Bidunga will enter the season as the team’s starting center, but there is uncertainty surrounding who will back him up. Redshirt freshman Bryson Tiller is unproven at the college level, and no other bigs are on the roster. Head coach Bill Self is clearly looking for a replacement backup center with the departures of Hunter Dickinson, KJ Adams, and Zach Clemence.

We're all rooting for JB. While only two Kansas football players were selected in the NFL Draft, multiple ex-Jayhawks signed UDFA deals or accepted camp invites in hopes to crack the opening 53-man roster. One of those undrafted players is JB Brown, who inked a post-draft contract with the Denver Broncos. The former KU linebacker is currently working his way toward a long-term spot in Denver. In a recent interview with the Denver Gazette, he explained why the Broncos were the right choice for him.

CB was unstoppable in Game 7. Christian Braun continues to represent the Kansas basketball program excellently. The former Jayhawk came through in a big way Saturday night, helping lead the Denver Nuggets to the Western Conference Semifinals in a 120-101 Game 7 victory over the Los Angeles Clippers. Braun drew the start and finished second on the team in scoring, dropping 21 points on an efficient 8-for-15 shooting (3-for-5 from three). He chipped in five rebounds, four assists, and one steal.
