Preseason All-Big 12 team

Big 12 coaches apparently aren’t bothered by injuries.

They selected junior guard Brandon Rush and sophomore forward Darrell Arthur to the preseason All Big 12 team Tuesday. Rush tore his ACL in June and said he was only 70 percent recovered. Arthur suffered a stress fracture this summer but has been playing for nearly two months.

Junior guard Mario Chalmers and sophomore guard Sherron Collins were named honorable mention selections.

“We have multiple guys who deserve preseason All-Big 12 recognition and I think it’s great that we had a couple of guys land on the team with Brandon and Darrell,” Kansas head coach Bill Self said in a release. “I also think Mario, Sherron, Sasha, Darnell and Russell are worth mentioning too, because I think we will be a balanced team.”

The rest of the Big 12...

Nebraska’s Aleks Maric, Texas’ D.J. Augustin, Baylor’s Curtis Jerrells and Texas A&M’s Joseph Jones were also named Preseason All Big 12. Other honorable mention candidates included Kansas State’s Bill Walker and Michael Beasley. Beasley was also named Preseason Freshman of the Year. Augustin was named Preseason Player of the Year and Missouri’s DeMarre Carroll was named Preseason Newcomer of the Year. Carroll transferred to Missouri from the University of Alabama-Birmingham.

Same old story

Honors are nothing new for Rush. He’s been named an All Big 12 performer his first two season and was a Wooden Award All-American last year. He was also chosen as the Big 12 Preseason Co-Player of the Year with former Jayhawk Julian Wright last season.

Arthur was an All Big 12 Honorable Mention selection last year and was also on the Big 12 All Freshmen Team.
