Some key upside takeaways from Jordy Hulls on the Hoosier Hysterics podcast today:

1. Trey Galloway has finally had a healthy summer and combined with his work ethic is set for a big year.
2. Mack Mbako can really shoot the ball. That was said by Jordy more than once. And he is fearless when he does so. With Kopp gone this is really important.
3. Malik Reneau has transformed his body this offseason. Expected to have a big, big year.
4. Gabe Cupps' work ethic is notably impressive.

I think Mgbako will be special but I found it interesting the way he said how confident he is shooting it, and mentioned that several times.  So long as the shooting percentages are good, that’s great, but if not it’ll be something to keep an eye on.

Jalen Hood Schifino was not the most talented, but was the most fearless freshman we will ever see. 

Jay Edwards was pretty fearless.

Do as I say, not as I do.

Also, if someone on that board is looking for more outstanding content from here, I recommend that they re-post:

• " @Class of '66 Old Fart is charismatic, and extraordinarily charming and good looking"
• " @Stromboli is a spicy sandwich"

He did not use “notably”.

Anybody got the scoop on when we can expect Kansas tickets to go on sale? This is about a month later than KU put this game on sale last year so I'm getting quite antsy.

The Big Ten has to put out the conference schedule out first. The first Big Ten game is generally included in a pack so until the league decides to release their schedule (they are already a week later than last yr doing it) they cannot put the pack of games on holiday break (which includes Kansas) on sale. 

They cannot put single game tickets on sale for those holiday games until they sell the packs first which can't be done until schedule is out as described above. In other words until the Big Ten puts the schedule out the Kansas tickets cannot be put on sale.

Ahhhhh. Much appreciated. Totally forgot this game will be a part of a package.

Question for those in the know, for the last couple years, I have purchased the mini series tickets on Monday of this week. Has anyone heard of when they will be available this year? I stayed up after midnight last night thinking they would be available and I haven't even seen an article about them this year.

Edit: maybe I should learn to read previous posts that contain my answer!

Maybe it's just me, but CJ Gunn looks tall... Ware is very tall. Newton looks short.. and like a safety.

Uh, Mgbako looks really tall. Like, every bit as tall as Reneau and Sparks tall. 

[WayneFleekHoosier]

This front court has the potential to be incredible. Potential is huge.  Guards and guard depth really concern me with this team. But 3-5 has so many options and flexibility.

If Walker is 6’9” as listed, then Ware is 7’5” and there’s a bunch of 6’11 forwards on this team. (answer—Walker is not 6’9”)

Definitely like 6-7. But that means Mgbako is like 6-9 or 6-10.

During media day interviews, numerous players named "Coach Stump" as an influence over the summer. Thought that might be a nickname, but it's not and Mike Stump has a really nice background. A staff name to watch for:
