Bills Khakis, genuine old-style khakis are made by Bill Thomas in Reading, Pennsylvania. Eight-and-a-Half ounce 100% twill cloth, full cut in the legs, seat and rise, from original Second World war patterns, deep 14 inch drill cloth pocket, and eight stout belt loops. Nothing fancy, just pure quality.
They're big, they're tall, they do it all. They dunk, they slam, they eat toast with their jams. They shoot, they block, they make the Fieldhouse rock.
They are the two big men at Kansas. They are the twin towers of Jayhawk basketball.
They are Raef LaFrentz and Eric Chenowith.
At first glance, the two might look remarkable alike. They're really tall. LaFrentz weighs in at 6'11" and 235 lbs. Add an inch and you have Chenowith.
They tower over everyone else on the team. They tower over the majority of their opponents too. In fact, the tower over just about everybody.
LaFrentz and Chenowith don't look so big on television. They don't look so tall from the stands in Allen Fieldhouse.
But stand next to one of them while waiting for the bus, or walk near one of them on the way to class, and when
you only come up to their bellybuttons, you'll understand.
They're really tall.
And not only that, LaFrentz and Chenowith are among the premier college basketball players in the country.
Playing for Kansas, LaFrentz and Chenowith are members of the third-ranked team in the nation, a team whose first loss of the season did not come until it's ninth game.
By the way, they're really tall.
And the two towers know how to play the game. LaFrentz keeps working his way up the list of all-time leading scorers at Kansas. He makes the midrange jump shot look so smooth and simple. Chenowith's shot is still developing, but it shows signs of being just as smooth as as anything LaFrentz has ever put up.
OWERING
OVER THE
COMPETITION
They each earned McDonald's All American honors as high school seniors. Last year, LaFrentz was awarded first team All-American
honors and this year he was chosen as one of five preseason All-Americans.
But to the fans, the first thing that anyone notices about these two, is their height. It's like a double take re-run of the Shaquille O'Neal Pepsi commercial, where O'Neal is too tall for everything. He runs into the tops of doorways and rips through the tops of convertible Corvettes.
But just try and tell LaFrentz and Chenow that they are too tall. They'd probably just look down at you, smile and say 'that's ok'.
'We're big, we're tall, we dunk, we slam, we shoot, and we block. But most of all, we make Allen Fieldhouse rock.
