Welcome to the latest function for Phog.web VIP subscribers. Each Monday through the soccer and basketball season we’ll cowl three issues I believe and three issues I do know heading into the week. It is as straightforward because it sounds. It’s going to be a spot to debate numerous subjects on the soccer, basketball and recruiting fronts — along with different subjects pertaining to KU — multi functional place.
With that, let’s dive into it…
I do know Jason Bean’s efficiency towards Iowa State was a full-circle second…
Whereas at Jack Trice Stadium on Saturday, I used to be considering again to the primary time KU and Iowa State confronted off below Lance Leipold again in 2021. It was fairly the ugly recreation, however I don’t know if there was an uglier second than the play when Jason Bean fumbled on back-to-back performs with the second fumble taking place as a result of the ball bounced off of his leg. It was an unpleasant efficiency from Bean in a foul crew exhibiting.
Saturday felt like a full circle second for Bean, as he led KU to its first win Ames in 15 years. His enchancment was on full show as he ran the offense with confidence and made a number of large throws I don’t suppose he would’ve made two years in the past. You possibly can see his taking part in with a very completely different stage of confidence in comparison with that recreation in 2021. His growth has taken time and numerous hours of labor at midnight, however Bean is a totally completely different participant now and he deserves credit score.
Long run, Bean’s growth may also assist KU because the coaches recruit quarterbacks. Bean was uncooked when he arrived at KU. He’s not good now however he’s leaps and bounds higher than he was in 2021. That’s actually a constructive for Bean in that he’s in a position to assist KU to its finest season since 2007 and for KU that there’s extra proof that this teaching employees can actually develop gamers.
