Kansas Jayhawks new head coach Turner Gill is working hard to make people forget about the Mark Mangino era.
Gill is taking a softer approach with the players, spending time asking them about various aspects of their life.
The head coach said he wants to show the players that everyone in the football program is close with one another.
While Gill knows wins and losses are important, he is focused on teaching and molding young men. ( Read More…)

As conference expansion looms, Kansas is warning Nebraska and Missouri not to leave the Big 12.
If those two schools elect to bolt for the Big 10, it could set forth a domino effect that leaves Kansas out in the cold.
Six Big 12 schools would then seriously considering bolting to the Pac-10, and Kansas and Kansas State would not be one of them.
That would leave the two schools, which both have very good basketball programs, without a conference.
That could mean disaster for both schools, which would then have to try and find a new conference to join.

Kansas Jayhawks incoming freshman star guard Josh Selby broke his hand in a pickup game.
Selby will be sidelined for the next four-to-six weeks, which isn’t a big deal for the Baltimore guard.
Head coach Bill Self said he did not expect the missed time to hurt Selby’s basketball development.
Selby averaged 32 points, 7 assists and 5 rebounds per game as the country’s top recruit.
He is expected to see significant playing time with the departure of senior guard Sherron Collins.

A ticket scandal involving a high-ranking official at Kansas and a player’s father has rocked the school.
The two men together raked in more than $800,000 by getting involved in the scalping business.
The tickets were scalped during the 2002 and 2003 NCAA tournaments by three men who received the instructions from basketball brokers David and Dana Pump.
The school has since launched an internal investigation into the scalping of tickets to learn more about what happened.
The athletic director has accepted responsibility for the actions coming under his watch, and there is no word on what the NCAA plans to do about all of this.

Baltimore high school star guard Josh Selby has decided that he will play his college basketball for Bill Self and the Kansas Jayhawks.
The guard said he felt playing for Kansas would be the best way for him to become a better basketball player and to mature on and off the court.
The Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, Connecticut Huskies and Tennessee Volunteers were among the other teams in the running for Selby’s services.
Selby will be counted upon to replace senior star Sherron Collins, who helped lead Kansas to a national championship and finished his career with more wins than any other play in Jayhawks history.
The guard will not only bring an ability to attack the basket and knock down open shots, but also a toughness that he will help instill in his new team.

Kansas Jayhawks freshman forward Xavier Henry has declared himself for the NBA Draft.
Henry was one of the top rated recruits coming into his freshman season and was surrounded by a lot of hype.
He got off to a very slow start that made many wonder if he was the player that everyone thought he was.
Henry eventually got going and improved greatly over the course of the season, becoming one of the team’s top players.
He is expected to be a late lottery pick or possibly go in the middle of the first round of the draft.

Kansas center Cole Aldrich has announced his intentions to declare for the NBA Draft.
Aldrich, a junior, considered coming out last year before deciding it would be better for him to return to school.
He is expected to be a high first-round pick despite a rather disappointing performance in the NCAA tournament.
Aldrich’s father has been out of work because of the recession, making it an easy decision to head to the NBA.
Head coach Bill Self said he would strongly discourage Aldrich from returning for his senior season.

Northern Iowa pulled the biggest upset in years with a 69-67 win over the top seed Kansas Jayhawks.
They led much of the way as Kansas looked like a team that was rattled and panicking against an inferior opponent.
The Jayhawks weren’t excuting offensively and were not playing their trademark aggressive defense.
Sherron Collins had a terrible night from the floor and Cole Aldrige was a non-factor much of the night.
It’s a terribly disappointing loss for what seemed to be by far and way the best team in the country.

Picked by so many to win this NCAA Tournament, Kansas instead found its world – and the brackets of millions – rocked by Northern Iowa on Saturday.
Ali Farokhmanesh’s 3-pointer was the dagger that felled the overall No. 1 seed in the NCAAs, Kansas’ season coming to a surprising and jolting end with a 69-67 loss to Northern Iowa in the second round at Oklahoma City.
It’s the first time a No. 1 seed hasn’t made it to the Sweet 16 since 2004. The Jayhawks trailed most of the way, falling behind 10-2 at the start, and couldn’t come all the way back from a 12-point deficit with 12 ½ minutes left.
Farokhmanesh’s 3-pointer made it 66-62 Northern Iowa. Kansas (33-3) then was called for an offensive foul on the next possession, basically putting things away and knocking a giant out of the tournament.
Marcus Morris led the Jayhawks with 16 points. Cole Aldridge finished with 13 points and 10 rebounds. Sherron Collins and Markleff Morris each added 10 points.

The No. 2 Kansas Jayhawks pulled away in the second half for an 82-65 victory over the No. 5 Kansas State Wildcats.
With the Big 12 title on the line, the two rivals went at it in a closely contested game for the first 30 minutes.
In the end, it was Sherron Collins who celebrated Senior Day at Allen Fieldhouse with a victory and conference title.
Meanwhile, it was freshman Xavier Henry who led the Jayhawks to their biggest win of the season.
Henry, who is suddenly blossoming, finished with 19 points, five rebounds, two steals, one assist and a blocked shot.
