In case you needed a reminder, Kansas is absolutely loaded

Wed, 18 Nov 2009 12:52:18 -0500

Tuesday afternoon, Fran Frischilla was calling the Tulsa-Arkansas Little-Rock game when he made a bold but not at all unbelievable claim. Frischilla said that if Kansas splintered off their second five into another team, that team would be among the 25 best in the country. Like I said: not all that far-fetched. That this statement isn't met with grave incredulity is a testament to how talented and experienced and deep Kansas really is this year. It's the Jayhawks, and then it's ev...

Kansas’ Marcus Morris Destroys Pittsburgh State’s Andy Smith

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 02:15:45 -0500

While everyone’s talking about Sherron Collins, Cole Aldrich and Xavier Henry, don’t sleep on Kansas’ Marcus Morris. While his twin brother, Markieff, is also on the squad, he hasn’t done anything like this. Wow. He should send a formal apology to Pittsburgh State’s Andy Smith.

Kansas' Buford receives diversion for DUI

Fri, 30 Oct 2009 17:47:48 -0500

A second Kansas basketball player has been given a chance to wipe his record clean of drunken-driving charges. The Lawrence prosecutor's office says 21-year-old Chase Buford must pay $802 in fees. He is not allowed to consume alcohol or drugs for one year and must undergo substance abuse treatment. The junior guard from San Antonio was pulled over early on July 11 in Lawrence. Authorities say he refused to submit to a breath test.

Selby enjoys Kansas visit

Thu, 22 Oct 2009 09:38:50 -0500

Lake Clifton point guard Josh Selby got a sneak preview last weekend of what it would be like to play for Kansas. The five-star prospect, who is also considering Baylor, Indiana, Kentucky, Miami and Syracuse, took an unofficial visit to Lawrence for Midnight Madness and was impressed with what he saw, according to his mother, Maeshon Witherspoon. “Kansas was a very good trip,” Witherspoon said. “The fans were crazy and supportive. I wasn’t expecting the fans to support the kids the w...

Source: Jayhawk Hoops Players Caused KU Brawl

Fri, 25 Sep 2009 11:01:47 -0500

Interesting to note in the aftermath of the campus brawls between players from the Kansas basketball and football teams, hoops coach Bill Self has been extremely contrite, while football coach Mark Mangino has been nothing of the sort. (Sadly. Self will be allowed to sweep everything under his the rug) The KANSAS CITY STAR reports late [...]

Jayhawk-on-Jayhawk Violence Sends Player To ER

Wed, 23 Sep 2009 09:45:21 -0500

It’s a known fact that men will engage in any number of ridiculous behaviors on account of a woman. Well, straight men anyway, though I suspect the general sentiment holds true even for alternative sexual preferences. We’ll say the most ridiculous things (poems? really?), buy expensive crap, don stupid-looking clothes and try silly grooming products, [...]

College Preseason Top 25: No. 1, Kansas

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 12:01:07 -0500

by Joey Whelan Of all the programs that benefited from underclassmen turning the NBA down for one more year, none saw as much of a dramatic rise in their stock as the Jayhawks. With the return of Sherron Collins and Cole Aldrich to Lawrence for another go, Bill Self’s squad goes from the middle of the pack in the Big 12, to a preseason favorite amongst many pundits to win a second national championship in three years. While the upperclassman duo is getting the bulk of the media’s ...

NCAA Champs Kansas say goodbye to Rush, Arthur

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 17:17:30 -0500

Juniors Brandon Rush and Darrell Arthur declared themselves eligible for the NBA Draft today, meaning Kansas will be losing four starters from the National Championship team if Mario Chalmers bolts for the NBA as well. Rush, who declared last year, has given up his eligibility regardless of signing with an agent or not because it is his second time declaring. Arthur has not signed an agent and thus could come back, but it looks unlikely that he will return to the Jayhawks. The two accomplished what they set out to do in their college careers, and I have no reason to believe this is a bad move by either of them. Good luck in the league guys!
