Kansas Jayhawks success not just Jalon Daniels - Rock Chalk Podcast
The Kansas Jayhawks are 3-0, and that means it's time to rethink what is possible for this team. To do that, I brought Ari Temkin of Big 12 This Morning on SiriusXM back to the show to take a look at what we have seen from this team so far.
We dove into grand themes from the entire season, not only the Houston game. This included how big of a story the Jayhawk's resurgence has been, the effects of Lance Leipold on this program, and a look at who has impressed in addition to Jalon Daniels.
We look at just how big the defense has been and the great play from both sides of the ball before looking to see how the outlook for the Jayhawks has changed in the Big 12 this season.
The episode starts by marveling at just how much momentum there was behind ESPN's College Gameday coming to Lawrence, and the outcry that resulted when it didn't happen. Then we looked at some of the differences in this team that have led to the ridiculous numbers we have seen to start the season.
We discuss the impact of Lance Leipold, and how the coaching staff has set this team up to succeed across the board and not just because of the fantastic play of Jalon Daniels.
After the break, we focus in on the improvement from the defense, which has been a big key to the fast start. And of course that results from the huge strides made on the lines on both sides of the ball, which are succeeding in completely different ways.
We end by looking at the depth of the team and figuring out how likely it is for that to continue, along with a fresh look at where the Jayhawks may end up in the Big 12 standings.
