He was one of at least eight Kansas players recruited by Self accused of physically and, or sexually assaulting women while at KU. Some had battered women BEFORE he signed them.

There was very little consequence for violence against women or other criminal behavior as a Jailhawk so it would be a surprise if the behavior didn’t continue.

Self is really a sad and pathetic human being, whatever his merits as a coach.

I found out he did this earlier in the year as well.

Vick was picked out of a photo lineup by the victim. Bond was set at $1.5 million for Vick, who was also charged felony burglary and theft earlier this year. Vick, 29, last played professionally in 2024 in New Zealand.

Not excusing Self, but it should have been out of his hands as those players should have never been allowed to play in the NCAA anyway... I'm a fan of MUCH stricter sexual assault laws. Those guys would be in prison or get the death penalty if it were up to me.

Yup exactly, I’m so sick of guys who have rap sheets that are 10 pages long and they are somehow out of jail. Especially for multiple violent crimes. Obviously that doesn’t apply here but seeing as he committed felony robbery or at least was charged for it earlier in the year, he should have been ankle monitored or something. Could have maybe kept this senseless act from happening.

Did anyone of these players attempt to murder someone?
No, but I'm not wading into Dante's Inferno grading of criminality and moral sins. If you want to razz the Jayhawks every time one of their former players attempts or succeeds in murdering someone, be my guest. I think it's a weird flex.

I don’t think you understand how rivalries work. When your hated rival stubs their toe so to speak , you make fun of them and vice versa. That’s how things work on message boards.

Were any of the examples you listed recruited after their issues? No, it was well before. Kansas has a history of going after players with less than savory reputations. Also, their list is way longer than ours.
