Opinion: After victory, KU's 'scout' deserves honor

Great article! For those of us who religiously follow the Hawks, it is nice and refreshing to have a piece that sheds light on how Self (and his coaching staff) are so successful. I had no idea that this is the way that other teams are scouted. Way to go JW.

Opinion: Ben McLemore also stands out when blending in

"McLemore, the most talented basketball player to show up at Kansas in decades.

That sure is a strong statement! There have been some incredible players at KU in the past 20 years.

Little-known residence houses retired faculty

Well said CK. WISSMO, what is it about this forum makes you feel that it is a place to rant and spout such unnecessary negativity? The residents are people who gave at least 15 years of their lives to the KU and likely don't have a whole lot of housing options. Where is the love?

Budig boost

"At a time when the public is becoming increasingly aware of the world hunger situation, the Big 12’s land-grant schools — West Virginia, Kansas State, Iowa State and Oklahoma State — will place this conference in a critically important position to try to find answers to address this growing disaster."

This part of the strory is a silly. The big 12 is an athletic conference and will have absolutely nothing to with adressing world hunger.

Deal near for KU Coach Bill Self to donate $1 million for new west Lawrence recreation center

While there is the East Lawrence Rec Center, it is NOTHING along the lines of what is being discussed here. It is precisely the kind of rec center that you would expect to be in a lower income area. Frankly it is a dump...or used to be.

That being said, it seems logical that something like this would be built on the west side of Lawrence as that is where much of the city is growing.

Maybe a little bit of Coach Self's $$ could be used to revitalize the center on the east side.

Spring signing period kicks off for KU basketball

When is the 6-9 bulky, Tyler Hansborogh-looking kid from Texas going to get here. It seemed like he committed to KU years ago? It has been a long time since I have heard any mention of him...or how he is doing.
