Accolade for Rush
Not surprisingly, Brandon Rush has been honored as the Big 12 Freshman of the Week on the strength of his performance against Kentucky.
From KU Sports.com:
Big 12 officials announced Monday that Kansas University guard Brandon Rush was the league's Rookie of the Week. Rush averaged 16.0 points and 8.0 rebounds as Kansas recorded home victories over Yale (87-46) and No. 19 Kentucky (73-46). The freshman guard shot 57.1 percent from the floor (12-of-21) and 3-point range (4-of-7) in two games, with eight assists. Rush's highlight game came against Kentucky, when he posted his first career double-double with 24 points and 12 rebounds. He was 9-of-15 from the field in the contest. Rush leads KU in scoring (12.8 points per game) and is the top-scoring freshman in the Big 12.
Rush's honor is the first to be bestowed on a Jayhawk this season. And I don't think it will be the last. If he keeps playing like this, he may be in the NBA next season.

He's not Vince Young. He shouldn't leave early.
Very true but the NBA is a different culture. Obviously, I think he should stay at least one more year if for nothing more than pure selfishness. Our team could really rock next year if he were still in the fold.
By the way, thank you for being the only person to read my blog. I owe you a beer.
