They said it ... about Tarik Black

Certainly explicable, but modern journalism has fallen to posting "tweets"? I guess it's sport's journalism, whatever that is.

For Kansas basketball, recruiting never ceases

God bless these coaches for sitting with those teenage egos or maybe the parent's egos, that need that fawning. I'd think it would be the most degrading part of their job. Probably why they make the big bucks, rather than the fun part, developing potential?

McLemore shows off athleticism at NBA combine

"“Body doesn’t look great compared to other big men, and he hasn’t been so impressive in the drills.”
-You can't teach height. He isn't the second coming of Cheno. And "all" Withey can do is play basketball. Yeah, he probably is only a "5 0n 5 guy". Why you love these scouting gurus and the NBA.

McLemore speaks about AAU coach, agent allegations

Legal representation to account all the happenings in a probable ever expanding entourage? I'd bet these parasites come out like telephone solicitors at an old folks home! And every time this kid gets ambushed by even more worthless, self-serving reporters? I don't think an NCAA student stipend or even an over indulged athletic department has the resources or time to deal with it.

KU student arrested after fight sends Lawrence man to trauma center

"arrested about 1 a.m." Nothing good ever happens after midnight.

I thought Texans bragged they could "hold their licker".

NBA teams size up McLemore, Withey at combine

“I actually looked that up and did some research on that and saw that,” McLemore said.

He actually learned more than 95% of the other students.

Bill Self basks in glow

You're right in your second paragraph. But probably three "red hot" in the final six games of the tourney will hang a banner. The rest just have to be average. And by week two, the seedings don't mean didly-sqwat.
Who would you have? Royboy? Sleazeball Calipari? K & Izzo are the only ones better in the tourney and even they have their moments. Single elimination and the basketball gods can be unkind.

Father of slain toddler grieves in Missouri jail

AA quite correctly points out that the addict has to value something above himself to abandon that little man both in and outside the head, He obviously didn't value anything but his addiction. Too bad.

Non-violent? That's an accident waiting to happen.

Wiggins followed heart in signing with Jayhawks

An hour and a half on a rocket sled.

Top prospect Andrew Wiggins to announce on Tuesday

The last I heard, this Peter's kid had a significant concussion issue. I thought that didn't necessarily get less significant with age. At some time in a perfect world, I'd guess you choose your own poison, but I don't know if I'd feel good filling someone's cup.
