Injury update

Junior guard Brandon Rush, who tore his ACL in June, said he’d be able to start jumping this weekend. He’s been sprinting for more than a week and can shoot and practice his dribbling.

He said he would return anytime between November and January. Dec. 1 was the date given at the time of his injury.

Practice, Practice, Practice

The team has been working out five days a week since the start of school. On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, players do “individuals,” which consist of rebounding, passing and shooting drills. On Tuesdays and Thursdays, the players play pick-up games for 1 ½ hours, longer than they ever have in the past.

“We know coach is going to get after us,” sophomore guard Sherron Collins said. “We’re not whining about it. We’re just out there working hard.”

Recruiting

» Kansas coach Bill Self can start making in-home visits with recruits Sept. 9. According to JayhawkSlant.com, Self will visit J’Mison Morgan of South Oak Cliff High School in Dallas Sept. 10. Morgan is ranked as the 23rd best player in the country by Rivals.com.

» Chipola Junior College guard Mario Little is scheduled to make an official visit to Kansas this weekend, according to JayhawkSlant.com. Little is also interested in Kansas State and Illinois.
