As you’ve probably heard by now, Andrew Wiggins is a Kansas Jayhawk. On Tuesday, the No. 1 basketball player in the country, who some say is the best high school hoopster since LeBron James, elected to become a Jayhawk, choosing the school over offers from Kentucky, Florida State, North Carolina, Nike and Reebok.
Ok, so I’m obviously...
Fast Break: Colorado on the rise in Pac-12
Admit it. You sort of forgot about Colorado didn't you?
Until the Buffaloes beat Baylor on Friday in Charleston, S.C., you had forgotten that this was a program that seemed to be headed upward even while it was still in the Big 12. Remember that CU was in the NCAA Tournament last year?
It's OK. Unless you live on the west coast, Pac-12 teams have a way of disappearing on...

Class of 2012 now fully eligible
For the past two seasons, the Kansas Jayhawks haven't had the best luck on the eligibility front - with the difficulties surrounding Josh Selby in 2010 and both Ben McLemore and Jamari Traylor last year.

10 Predictions for the 2011-2012 Kansas Jayhawks
Let’s be honest with each other, Jayhawk fans. This time last year, with the season less than a month away last year, we were all just a little bit too hard to be around. Kansas was coming off a 33-3 season, returning both Morris twins who were rumored to have improved greatly, and bringing in the number one recruit in the land in Josh Selby. Almost all of us already had...

Video: Josh Selby Impact League Mixtape
Coming into Kansas as a highly touted recruit, Josh Selby, for whatever reason, didn’t perform as expected. After a lone, underwhelming year in Jayhawk country, many questioned his decision to enter June’s Draft. Well, if this summer is any indication, Selby may be ready to prove a lot of people wrong. Some player’s skills translate better to the NBA compared to collegiate...
Zach Randolph says Josh Selby was the steal of the draft
Coming out of high school, Josh Selby was a sure fire lottery pick. Last June, the Memphis Grizzlies scooped the guard up at No. 49. His stock fell fast in Kansas. Then this summer, he has done nothing but impress. I saw him at the Impact Series “lockout league” in Las Vegas and he stood…
