Thomas Robinson cited for battery

Reportedly involved in bar fight

by Associated Press




LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) - Kansas forward Thomas Robinson has been cited with misdemeanor battery after a fight at a nightclub, the latest headache for the Jayhawks.

Lawrence city prosecutor Jerry Little said Tuesday that Robinson is accused of being involved in an altercation outside the club April 10. He said officers served Robinson with the ticket on Monday.

Police said the case remains under investigation and other people could be charged. Coach Bill Self said Robinson notified him immediately after being interviewed by police.

"Thomas is fully cooperating and we will not have any further comment about this situation as the investigation plays out," Self said.

Robinson, a 20-year-old sophomore, captured national attention last January when his maternal grandparents died just a few weeks before his mother, Lisa Robinson, passed away unexpectedly the night before a game.

They were the only adult family members that had been a major part of the lives of Robinson and his 7-year-old sister, Jayla.

Self and the entire team flew through a snowstorm to Washington, D.C., for services for Lisa Robinson. Thomas and Jayla placed Jayhawks team memorabilia in their mother's casket. Kansas, with the approval of the NCAA, set up a scholarship fund for Jayla.

The 6-foot-9 Robinson, the first big man off the bench for the seven-time Big 12 champion Jayhawks, averaged 7.6 points and 6.4 rebounds last season and is expected to be a starter next year.

Kansas will be without twins Marcus and Markieff Morris, who are skipping their senior seasons to go into the NBA draft. Also leaving the program early to turn pro is freshman guard Josh Selby.

In addition, guards Tyrel Reed and Brady Morningstar and swingman Mario Little all graduated, leaving the Jayhawks with a major rebuilding project.

So you think they keep a cell clear designated for KU players in Lawrence?

[Titty Meat]

How many KU players do you think are birthers?

[Silock]

He got a citation. It's not like he was charged with a felony. He didn't even start it. Doesn't make it okay, though. He should know better.

Brady Morningstar is no longer a member of the team, so none.

None but most are truthers.

[KC_Connection]

I see Laz is hating on Self again for no reason, even though KU has one of the top outside shooting teams in the nation every season.

Some things just don't change.

[KC_Connection]

And with the TRob thing? Meh. It's not like it will have any affect on the team next season.

[kitten_mittons]

You guys think he was just acting out because Bill Self killed his mom?

Hoops recruit Jamari Traylor to visit Kansas

Jamari Traylor, a 6-foot-7, 230-pound senior power forward from IMG Academies in Bradenton, Fla., will visit Kansas University this weekend, Traylor told Rivals.com.

Traylor visited Oklahoma State last weekend. He also has Indiana, St. John’s, Texas Tech, Memphis and Mississippi State on his list.

Meanwhile, Alex Murphy, a 6-8 forward from South Kingston, R.I., has decided to reclassify into the Class of 2011 and enroll at Duke next school year.

This may help KU in the recruitment of DeAndre Daniels, also a 6-8 senior forward, who visited Duke last weekend. He also has Texas, Kentucky and Oregon on his list.

****ing Kentucky.

One-time UK recruit Anderson content to have landed at Kansas
By Jerry Tipton / jtipton@herald-leader.com

Prospect Braeden Anderson liked Kentucky.

Kentucky liked Anderson.

But Anderson committed to Kansas, which shows how the mating ritual in recruiting can twist and turn.

"It was a crazy waiting game," Anderson said of his recruitment by UK.

The 6-foot-8 Anderson chose Kansas in large part because the Jayhawks offered a scholarship, and UK, which had already met its recruiting needs at power forward, did not.

"To be honest, it could have gone either way," Anderson said Wednesday. "I just wanted to play on the biggest stage possible and play against the best talent."

Anderson, who will play in the Derby Festival Basketball Classic on Friday in Louisville's KFC Yum Center, made no secret of his warm feelings for Kentucky. He called the lack of a scholarship offer "kind of part of that waiting game.

"I never got in the back room with (UK Coach John Calipari)."

He meant that in a figurative sense, Anderson said.

"If I got one on one with Cal, it probably would have been a done deal," he said.

But Kentucky had more than met its needs at power forward with the November signings of McDonald's All-Americans Anthony Davis and Kyle Wiltjer. And, Anderson added, he thought another McDonald's All-American, Michael Gilchrist, could ably play power forward, too.

Meanwhile, UK assistant coach Kenny Payne spoke regularly with Anderson this recruiting year.

"Very hands on," Anderson said. "I talked to him two, three times a week."

Kentucky's run to the Final Four contributed to the waiting game, he said.

Meanwhile, Anderson, who is from Alberta, Canada, huddled with his family this spring. His family persuaded him to sign with Kansas, he said.

Anderson signed a national letter of intent with DePaul last November, but he requested and received a release from that letter in January. Because a player can sign only one letter of intent, Anderson signaled his choice of Kansas by signing a financial-aid agreement, which binds the school to the player, but not vice versa.

When asked whether the financial-aid agreement also meant that Anderson would listen to an 11th-hour pitch from Kentucky, he said, "I think we're done."

Pathetic. I wonder if all freshman can stop attending classes and get the same deal?
