118. Dan Fitzgerald: Authentic Culture is Felt
Dan Fitzgerald has never tried to be something other than himself at each stop in his college baseball career. A solid coach at Dallas Baptist, earning the fifth most wins in the country since 2015. A great recruiter at LSU, resulting in the number one class in 2022. But most important to him, he’s always been an outstanding teammate. It’s always been about the team. That’s what builds an authentic culture.
This is the Jayhawker Podcast with new Jayhawks baseball coach, Dan Fitzgerald. -
117. The NBA Draft Experience
There’s a lot of history when it comes to KU basketball. It’s something we’ve dove into a few times here on the podcast. Another chapter in the Jayhawks book of basketball is reserved for those who take their game to the next level. The realization of a childhood dream. The countless hours in a gym and all the hard work paying off as they walk across the stage to greet the NBA Commissioner.
This is the Jayhawker Podcast and this is our look at the NBA Draft experience. -
116. How It Works: The Gear at KU
How does a player convey swag? Is it hitting a fadeaway jumper over a defender? A running back bowling over a defensive back for a score? Maybe launching a 400 foot bomb over the fence. Sometimes, it just comes down to the jersey on your back. Before that jersey made it to the court or field, it was meticulously planned, from the first stitch to the final fold before being put into game action.
This is a special How It Works edition of the Jayhawker Podcast featuring the gear of KU. -
115. Rylee Anderson: Up, Up and Away
Getting to Lawrence just felt right for Rylee Anderson. And things seem to feel right often for the back-to-back defending Big 12 Indoor champion at the high jump. Anderson continues to add to long list of winners that come from the Jayhawks.
This is the Jayhawker Podcast with Kansas high jumper, Rylee Anderson. -
114. Caleb Sampson: Down and Back Again
To say Caleb Sampson’s college journey has been a full of adversity would be an understatement. Originally signed and playing for Missouri coming out of high school, Sampson would eventually land at a junior college in Mississippi, a challenge that would leave him in tears
That path has led him to Lawrence as a valuable member of the Jayhawks football team. And not just for his play, but the leadership he brings as well
This is the Jayhawker Podcast with KU football defensive tackle and captain, Caleb Sampson -
113. Daniel Hegarty: Mr. Jayhawk
The Crimson and Blue run deep in Daniel Hegarty’s family. Jayhawks are littered through his family tree. It helped make choosing a college easy for the man they call Mr. Jayhawk and helped him develop into the team leader he is today for the Kansas baseball team.
Now a starter and flourishing, Hegarty is enjoying his final trip around the bases for the Jayhawks as he prepares to earn his Masters degree.
This is the Jayhawker Podcast with KU baseball pitcher, Daniel Hegarty.
Customer Reviews
Love the variety of Topics! MUST LISTEN!
I love how the show talks about the KU history. And, also engages with current student athletes.
Great Podcast
Love the variety of conversations and the insight into the history. Keep them coming!
Classy edition
Wayne hosts classy conversations that give you an inside look at KU players and staff. His experience on the court adds credibility and he doesn’t waste time with childish old boy nonsense that other similar podcasts do. Appreciate this one.
