Hinrich will return to Lawrence to retire jersey

Monday, September 22, 2008

Kansas’ 2008 national championship banner won’t be the only new addition to the Allen Fieldhouse rafters this season. The Jayhawks will also hang Kirk Hinrich’s No. 10 jersey in the gym sometime this year.

Hinrich, who graduated in 2003 and currently plays for the Chicago Bulls, led the Jayhawks to the national championship game in his senior season and was a Wooden All-American.

Hinrich and the Athletics Department haven’t selected a date for the ceremony because it will depend on the Bulls’ schedule.

“I think it’s the greatest honor you could have to have your jersey up in this building,” Hinrich said. “In a place that means so much to me, it’s an amazing feeling.”
