The Keegan Ratings

Efficient Collins leads Jayhawks in ratings

1. Sherron Collins: Scored team’s first seven points, scored 14 points on nine field goal attempts, did not have a turnover and had four assists and three steals. Played a great all-around game. 2. Cole Aldrich: Temple post player Lavoy Allen paid Aldrich a very nice compliment by saying ...

Aldrich, Johnson earn top spots in rankings

1. Cole Aldrich: Passed up an easy shot and took two shots he shouldn’t have — one banked in from the top of the key — but otherwise dominated the interior with six blocked shots and 14 rebounds. 2. Elijah Johnson: Picked up the team’s pace during his 10 minutes, time enough to ...

No surprise: Markieff earns top spot in ratings

1. Markieff Morris: Career-best performance for the sophomore power forward. Had 19 points, six rebounds and two steals. 2. Sherron Collins: Played a big part in guiding Markieff Morris into his big day by telling him he would be open because of the attention paid to Cole Aldrich and by ...
