Surgery for Sherron
Sherron Collins underwent successful arthroscopic knee surgery on Monday.
Collins, a sophomore guard, had been bothered by injuries all season. He got surgery for a stress fracture in November and twice played through stretches where he had a bruised knee.
Kansas coach Bill Self said they knew Collins would eventually need surgery because of those complications.
“Doctors said the surgery went very well and anticipate no complications,” Self said. “Sherron should be starting rehab soon and doctors expect a full recovery. With the season recently ending, he has plenty of time to heal.”
Despite the injury problems, Collins averaged 9.3 points and 3.1 assists per game. He was also named the Big 12’s Sixth Man of the Year.
Recruiting visit
Tyshawn Taylor, a point guard from St. Anthony’s High School, will visit Kansas on Wednesday and Thursday, according to Jayhawkslant.com. Taylor originally signed with Marquette but asked to be released from his letter of intent when coach Tom Crean left for Indiana.
Taylor is also considering Florida, Texas, Virginia Tech and Georgia Tech.
