Yes.
He ALSO made a Kevin-specific post supporting Kevin and saying the whole team had seen how hard he had worked to try to get back.

So, take from all of it what you will.

Certainly did.
After Kevin was directly mentioned to him.
Hunter went passive aggressive not full aggressive. Our PR team has taught him well.

Bill Self does shit like this too.
He's a master of it.

when you are paid 3/4's of a million dollars to perform. you don't get to voluntarily sit out to protect your draft position.

If you wrote the check, I assume you had the opportunity to negotiate terms.

What I have seen from Kevin even back to his TTech days?
A warrior, gave his all.

There is no development this past month that would tarnish that opinion of him for me.

It hurts to see a Jayhawk fan base turn on a Jayhawk.

Yes, It does.
I can kind of see hard feelings if a player LEAVES KU to go elsewhere.

A player coming here, playing hard...different story.

I never once agreed with any of the Hunter bashing. Expecting more from an incoming player is completely different than talking shit on them, IMO

I was skeptical of HD before he got here, but never critical. Watching how he plays (not just his numbers) has made me be vocal.

Seems like, yes.

I do like the Facebook marketing pic for the tourney this morning…it’s a picture of the starting 5 for tonight. No McCullar. Oftentimes, these details are neglected/ignored, and he still would have been in pic as he’s been starter most of year.

From a former (frequent) contributor, who occasionally lurks:

"I love how pdub conflates calling out people like Trump and the GOP for motives they don’t even attempt to hide with being unwilling to call out people like KM, whose motives and circumstances are ambiguous at best..."

Whomever that poster is:
a. is welcome back, they can talk trash on me here
b. should read this quote:
