Kansas signees Wayne Simien and Aaron Miles have been named Gatorade Player of the Year in Kansas and Oregon respectively. Simien and Miles also are second-team Parade All-Americans. Miles will participate in the McDonald’s All-America game at 8 tonight on ESPN. Simien will sit out the game because of a shoulder injury that likely will require surgery.
He blocked a shot at practice Monday after banging with massive Eddy Curry, his shoulder popping out as he rejected a shot off the glass.
“I’m going to be fine,” Simien said Tuesday. He’ll be evaluated upon returning from the game.
