Jayhawks, Beaty Enjoy Student Appreciation Day
Beaty partook in different yard-style games like cornhole, pop-a-shot and the quarterback challenge. The event, officially named, "Coach Beaty's Campus Challenge," was a hit with both the students and the Jayhawks' first-year head coach. Beaty was engrossed in friendly competition nearly the whole hour and a half he participated in the numerous challenges.
Beaty’s staff, the coaches hope, are building a foundation through their camaraderie. Likens said they have more fun together than any staff he has worked on in 23 years. There is something to that, he added, because this can be a trying time for them as they attempt to build Kansas into a successful program.
In the last eight months, Shelley-Smith has transformed from a 248-pound sophomore tight end to a 297-pound offensive lineman. In eight months, he has gone from offensive afterthought to potential starter at a premium position (left tackle).

The drama and excitement of the recent NCAA Tournament coupled with Kentucky's unsuccessful run at a perfect season can't mask the sport's problems. To be sure, this figures to be an important offseason for college basketball. Generally speaking, the game has become slow and grinding.
