Kansas City Star — LAWRENCE | While his predecessor was able to take advantage of soft nonconference schedules to build early momentum for his program, Kansas coach Turner Gill will have no such luxury in place.

Kansas City Star — LAWRENCE | This offseason, Kansas defensive backs Lubbock Smith and Greg Brown realized there was something missing from their games. As roommates at Jayhawker Towers, they had plenty of time to get to the bottom of it. Turned out, the problem was simple. To have the careers they wanted at KU, they needed a new look.
