Blair Kerkhoff

No, he came back for some of the conference games.

Remember the TCU game at home where they had the great comeback and he had the three free throws to tie it up, send it to overtime.

And then didn't play the overtime.

It's one of those times you have a press conference and it's just him and self and they're...

Laying out what they think the issues are.

But that never happened.

And so, so many times, because he didn't play, he wasn't available to the media.

You don't play, you don't talk to the media after the game.

So that went on for several weeks.

The couple of times he did talk to the media after games, after wins...

It was just about how the game went and how you played well, how'd you feel, that sort of thing.

I think Kansas would have been better served if at some point they just had maybe a midweek sit down with the media to explain what was going on.

The handlers didn't want to do it.

Right, right.

And Kansas just turns around and gets another opportunity with one of the highest-profile recruiters coming in.

Right.

It is.

And, you know...

I want the best for the kid.

You want him to do well and hope he gets what he wants.
