KU ATHLETICS
✦ KU MEN'S HOOPS -
• Round 2 of the NBA draft begins this afternoon at 3 PM CT on ESPN.
Best of luck to our guys Johnny & Kevin!
(I'm predicting Kevin will be an undrafted free agent, which could work better for him than being drafted late in Round 2.
I also would not be surprised if he ends up playing professionally overseas next season.)

Interesting to me is that Furphy is in the list at #3, but is not otherwise discussed in the article. Hmm...
And what the heck is all the media fascination with the James lad? He is NOT his daddy. Not the lad's fault, but geez, the hype over a good but not great player, SOLELY IMO because of his family name.
The Lawrence forecast: mostly cloudy with a thunderstorm in the afternoon, followed by more of the same in the evening and overnight.
Chance of precipitation goes from 56% during the day to 99% overnight.
High of 86F (30.0 C) and an overnight low of 70F (21.1 C).
That is all for now.
Hope you have a GREAT day!
ROCK CHALK!
