KU Basketball News

C.J. Henry commits to Memphis, says brother still undecided
C.J. Henry, who orally committed to play basketball at Kansas University in the spring of 2005, only to sign a professional baseball contract as a first-round draft pick of the New York Yankees, has again decided to play hoops. But this time it’s at the University of Memphis, not KU.

Ballard promoted; Keller joins KU basketball staff
Kansas University coach Bill Self has promoted from within to fill the position of KU director of basketball operations. Brett Ballard, who has worked in KU’s hoops office the past five years as KU’s administrative assistant/video coordinator, on Tuesday was named replacement for Ronnie Chalmers, who resigned his director of basketball post on Aug. 12.

KU guard Reed finally takes a much-needed break
After attending summer school, working basketball camps, lifting weights, playing pick-up games with his Kansas University teammates and competing in the Kansas City Pro-Am League — all after a hectic, eye-opening freshman year — Tyrel Reed needed a little break.

KU Football News

KU football fans to pay more for pregame fun
The cost of tailgating in a campus parking lot is going up faster than Todd Reesing’s anticipated passing yardage. A space in the lone on-campus, tailgate-friendly lot designated for parking by people outside the Williams Educational Fund — lot 90, east across Naismith Drive from Allen Fieldhouse — will cost $20 this season, up from zero a year ago.

Welcome back: How will Big 12 schools fare in Week One?
At long last, the wait is over. Kind of a lengthy wait, too, for college football fans. Big 12 supporters who watched their teams play in bowl games last season endured roughly eight months without football. Essentially, it’s the longest wait in sports. Not to worry, though: College football season is only three days away for most Big 12 fans; one day away for the Baylor and Iowa State faithful.

Bold statement
It wasn’t a guarantee, the way Joe Namath’s was when he predicted the New York Jets from the underestimated AFL would win Super Bowl III. It even stopped short of a prediction. Still, when Kansas University running back Jocques Crawford stated in such a confident manner his individual goal for the impending football season, the words left the few listening feeling as if they had just stuck their fingers into a light bulb socket.
