2008 KU basketball practice Aug. 22

There's been no change in the eligibility status of Kansas University freshmen Marcus and Markieff Morris, KU coach Bill Self said before Friday afternoon's practice at Allen Fieldhouse.

The twins are not allowed to practice until they are cleared by the NCAA Clearinghouse.

How can no news be breaking news?

I would like for there to be breaking news on if Self or Perkins have explained to the doofuses at the clearing house that we need these kids to practice if they are deserving of being eligible. Break some news on what's the hold up!

What is up with everyone on here giving LJW such a hard time. I don't understand it. The article said yesterday that Self hoped the Clearinghouse would clear the twins by the afternoon practice today. What is the problem with keeping people updated on their status. People need to get a life. Gary, keep up the good work. It's unbelievable some of things people choose as their battles.

kushaw - When this was first posted, it was under the "breaking news" headline at the top of the page. No one has a problem with the update, just how it was treated initially.

I agree, you bozo's who think it is smart to criticize the LJW writers don't impress the rest of us one bit. I get hacked off at Mayer from time to time and agree that Woodling isn't an analytical giant but overall these guys do a good job--particularly Keegan and Bedore.
