Congrats to Mr. Selden and Mr. Robinson.
In reading the article, this sentence/note stood out to me...b/c of the mention of Naadir Tharpe graduating from KU.
I guess based on the way he left the KU bball team (under what seemed to be not the greatest circumstances - or at least optics), I assumed, that he fully left the university...but it sounds like he was enrolled or re-enrolled at Kansas University and got his degree. Good for Mr. Thaarpe. And that's why we never assume, right?!

Selden also said seeing past Jayhawks — most notably former teammate Naadir Tharpe — return to school to finish their degrees in recent years was an inspiration to him.
