 Kansas may not need to rely on much production from their newcomers, but they should get plenty anyway. Transfers C.J. Henry from Memphis, and Jeff Withey, who will be eligible after the first semester, provide a pair of promising options, while Henry and Elijah Johnson will undoubtedly pressure the returning Jayhawk backcourt players for minutes. With Henry as the most polished of the incoming class and expected to play a big role, Thomas Robinson will give the frontcourt yet another weapon, but will have to battle hard to see minutes in his freshman campaign. Kansas is full of scorers, but it is the guy who feeds them the ball who is also their top scorer; Sherron Collins is one of the best point guards in the all of college basketball, coming off a spectacular season in which he scored 19 points and dished out 5 assists per game. Collins is not only a productive outside shooter, but has more than enough strength to aggressively attack the basket, either finishing himself or finding one of his teammates. This is no doubt Collins' team and he is one of two seniors who will play a significant role on this year's Jayhawks. With Collins leading the way, the Jayhawks have an intelligent leader who can either take over a game or pass the ball off to Aldrich and let him dominate. Either way, Kansas should be a dominant team, and as the early favorites to win it all, tickets for the Allen Fieldhouse in Lawrence, Kansas are a necessity in order to cheer the Jayhawks on to victory with Kansas tickets.
