Bedore: Several Jayhawks banner-worthy

Wayne Simien through Aaron Miles deserve it, the rest I'm not so sure about. Think about what the scoring list would have looked like if there was always a 35 second shot clock and guys were always able to play as freshmen...

KU baseball coach on hand for U.S. win

Not true. Pat Borders (who was the MVP of a world series) was on the 2000 olympic team. He and 11 more of the 28 players on that team had major league service time. So I believe the restriction is something to do with CURRENT status, because Borders played for 7 different major league teams, and certainly would have surpassed any maximum requirement.

KU's Reesing, Rivera make awards lists

75 players? I guess I can see that with Linebackers, since each team starts 3 or 4, but 75 QB's? that is 2/3 of NCAA Div. I teams having a guy on the list! Although I guess as out of nowhere as Reesing came last year, they have to cover all their bases!

KU football lands 2

we got a kid that had offers from Wisconsin, Louisville, A&M, OSU, and Tech? Sounds pretty good to me. Wisconsin could even be considered a defensive power. The others are all teams trying to bring their defense up to being as good as their offense, so it seems the defensive back must be pretty darn good. #30 rated dual-threat quarterback... how many QB types do they rate? just two? if so this seems like a solid pickup, although Kale Pick appears to be the heir apparent.

Keegan: MU ace fearless, talented

if we get the wind blowing out to right field like we did against Oklahoma last weekend... it might not matter because any fly ball can become a homer.
Go get 'em Hawks!

Jersey prep Taylor selects KU

if chalmers and/or arthur stays in the draft we are not one over the limit.
we lost 5 scholarship players to graduation (RussRob, Kaun, Jackson, Case, Stewart), a 6th to the draft for certain (Rush, since he signed with an agent) and possibly a 7th and 8th to the draft (Arthur and Chalmers, if they both stay in the draft)
Mario could come back and we would be totally fine on scholarships. From where we stand right now, it looks as though Arthur will be staying in the draft.

Here is the rundown for next year.
Seniors: Brennan Bechard (non-scholarship) Matt Kleinmann (NS) Mario Chalmers (if he stays)
Juniors: Mario Little, Tyrone Appleton, Sherron Collins, Darrell Arthur (if he stays)
Sophomores: Connor Teahan (NS), Brady Morningstar (NS), Tyrel Reed, Chase Buford (NS), and Cole Aldrich
Freshmen: Marcus Morris, Markieff Morris, Tyshawn Taylor, Quentin Thomas, Travis Releford

So the only scholarship we would be gaining through graduation next year would be Chalmers. If Chalmers does end up going to the NBA draft, don't count on us filling his void. We have signed 7 quality players, and we'll want to leave that spot open for Tyshawn Taylor's best buddy Mr. Cheek.

Especially if we make a strong tourney run, I can see Sherron Collins leaving after next season, since he will have been "the man" on our team next year. So that will free up another scholarship.

I can't see either of the "role playing" guards (Reed, Morningstar) transferring away next year considering their upbringing and desire to be Jayhawks. (not to mention Morningstar has already used his red-shirt year, so he wouldn't be able to use it while sitting out the mandatory year at his transfer school)

I CAN see one of our newcomers (specifically Mario Little) having a breakout season and leaving early, which would open up a third scholarship for next year.

No matter what happens, Bill Self and his staff are recruiting wizards, and all will surely be right in Jayhawk land next year.
