The Keegan Ratings

Defensive players absent from Keegans for second straight week

**1. Darrian Miller:** Slippery back is so difficult to bring down. He rushed for two touchdowns and averaged 4.8 yards on 11 carries. Doesn’t need much of an opening to make things happen. **2. Tim Biere:** Has a knack for getting open, which gives the quarterback a nice dump-off ...

D.J. Beshears, Jordan Webb battle for top Keegan honor

True freshman tops first Keegan ratings

Brady Morningstar best Jayhawk against Richmond

**1. Brady Morningstar:** Woofed his way to a technical after burying a three, but other than that had a terrific night. He made 7 of 11 field goals and 4 of 7 three-points, dished four assists and had two steals and just one turnover. Morningstar no longer is content to run the offense. He’s ...

Non-jittery Tyrel Reed tops ratings against Boston

**1. Tyrel Reed:** Smart, loose and aggressive from the start, Reed totaled eight points, six rebounds, three assists and a steal and did not turn it over once. He was the one player who never looked nervous. **2. Marcus Morris:** Shots weren't dropping in the first half, but he stayed ...
