Sherron Collins

In the era of one and done the story of a big time recruit staying at college for 4 years is rare. Yet Sherron Collins did just that and is set to be one of the greatest Kansas Jayhawks in its storied history. He already has the all time wins record. Each night he passes somebody on the points list. And each game he adds to his already glorious legacy. In his four years at KU, Kansas has won 4 Big 12 regular season titles. 2 conference tournament titles, with another possible. And 1 National Championship. With another one of those very possible as well. Collins came back to win it all this year, and there would be no better way to send out one of the greatest Jayhawks of all time. Thank you Sherron for all the great memories. I wish you the best, and hope some NBA team sees what a winner and competitor you are. Rock Chalk Jayhawk!
And by the way, KU sent the little kitties home last night 82-65. Great play from Xavier Henry, Tyshawn Taylor, and Markieff Morris helped KU get past slow starts from both superstars (Collins, Cole Aldrich). Collins caught fire later in the second half to help put the game out of reach. If Kansas can beat a team like K-State with no help from its 2 biggest stars in the first half, then things are looking good. The game against Missouri this weekend will be another good test to see where the Jayhawks are at. If Kansas continues to play well there should be no reason they don't win the conference tournament starting next week. Rebounding and perimeter defense must improve if that is going to happen though. Great, great win last night for KU. 59 in row now at "The Phog". Sherron went out in style in his last home game as a Kansas Jayhawk.
