Sorry for this being late. I'm going to try and start posting these in the morning, but with it being summer (yay!) and me being 3 hours behind, it's tough. Still, I'm not making excuses. Just sayin'. In any case, here are the links. A special, and very large section, is appropriately designated to ex-AD Bob Frederick, who passed away over the weekend after a fatal biking accident, as I'm sure all of you know by now. It was overshadowed by ESPN by Jim Calhoun breaking ribs on a bike, but hey, what are you going to do?
Obviously, the best of wishes go out to the Frederick family and all of his friends for their loss.

Nice, introductory-type story on Elijah Johnson. I'm quickly becoming a fan.

Russell Robinson, sharing the common sentiment that European basketball isn't all that fun. He'll be playing summer ball with the Magic, so hopefully he can stick with the defending Eastern Conference Champions.
Kansas Football

Denver posted the video of the Super Jayhawk Camp, and now here is a story from Keegan on it. Usually, there are a couple of commitments following the Camp, so we'll see if those roll in the next couple of weeks this year.
Quarterback Chris Harper to join K-State football team - Kansas City Star
I know this isn't Kansas-related, but it is interesting. Chris Harper is a fabulous athlete, and while there were doubts when he was coming out of HS (Class of 2008) about whether he could stick at QB, he's the type of athletic, run-pass option, spread QB Bill Snyder was looking for. It's hard to tell the old man no, from what I've heard, so Harper is coming back from Oregon to play in Manhattan.
We'll forgo the topic, today.

Super Jayhawk camp...
the most interesting thing this year regarding recruiting is going to be the fact that we have so few scholarships to give. There were a lot of talented guys there this weekend working for an offer and some might be caught waiting around due to the low number of scholly’s(estimated at in the mid-upper teens). I know of 3 guys that were here last weekend that if offered would likely commit very quickly, but at this point I’m not sure if any of them will get the opportunity just yet. We might be seeing a situation where we don’t get as many early commitments this year because we are going somewhat head to head with some big name schools for recruits.
I will say though that from the sound of things the staff is bringing in a lot of guys from around the country and there was some really good younger talent there as well this weekend.
Some people are like Slinkies...not really good for anything but they make you smile when pushed down the stairs.
I read that article, too...
…and the scholarship situation notwithstanding, it’s good to hear recruits talking about how great the school and program seems and not just coaches or current players.
