Iowa basketball standouts to visit'Hawks
By Erin Thompson
Kansan sportswriter
Iowa may hold two of the top men's basketball recruits for Kansas.
Nick Collison, a 6-foot-9 forward, from Iowa City and Kirk Hinrich, a 6-3 point guard from Iowa City West High, have official campus visits scheduled at Kansas.
The lowans have several similarities — both handle the ball well, are good passers and have grown up around basketball because their fathers are their high school coaches.
Collison has narrowed his choices to Kansas and Duke. He has an official visit to Kansas on Sept. 18 and Duke on Sept. 11. He expects to make a decision after his visit to Kansas.
Collison also plans to make an unofficial visit to Lawrence on Labor Day weekend.
Dave Collision, Nick's father and coach at Iowa Falls High School, said he thought Nick would fit in well with the Kansas team.
"He's exactly the kind of player that will fit in," he said. "He's played the motion offense and man-to-man defense in high school."
Collison has a reputation as an intelligent player who understands the game.
the game.
"A lot of college coaches have said he has a good presence on the court," Dave Collison said. "He really understands the game and knows what to do and when to do it."
The proximity of Kansas to Iowa could be a factor in Collison's decision.
"The biggest drawback for Duke is it's so far away," Dave Collison said. "At KU, he'd have the ability to get home once in a while, and we could get down there to see some games. He'd be able to get home,
and that will be a factor in his decision."
Kansas's location and familiarity could also be a factor for Hinrich.
"The location is definitely a factor," said Jim Hinrich, Kirk's father and high school coach. "It's the closest school other than Iowa State. We have a daughter that is a junior there. And the facilities are fantastic."
Hinrich averaged 18.3 points per game last season, shot 61 percent from the floor and made 87 percent of his freethrows.
Hinrichs made an oral commitment to Iowa State between his sophomore and junior years, but since Iowa State coach Tim Floyd left for the Bulls, Hinrich is reconsidering his choice.
Although Kansas has freshman McDonald's All-American point guard Jeff Boschee to replace senior Ryan Robertson, Jim Hinrich said that was not a factor.
"Kirk can play both point and off guard." Jim Hinrich said. "He's hoping he is good enough. He really likes it and really likes the coaches."
Other basketball news
Kansas assistant coach Neil Dougherty had a second interview Wednesday for the basketball coaching position at Colorado State.
Tim Floyd's departure from Iowa State could affect more than Hinrich's interest in playing ball at Kansas.
Former Colorado State coach Steve Morril left to fill the position at Utah State, which was vacated when Larry Eustachy left to be the head coach at Iowa State following Floyd's departure.
Tuesday Colorado State interviewed Portland State coach Ritchie McKay. No other interviews are scheduled, and an announcement is expected soon.
Young players dominate Kansas' football roster
By Jodi M. Smith

So would Kansas.
Most college football teams prefer to have more upperclassmen on their depth chart than underclassmen. So would Kansas
The depth chart released following yesterday's practice shows the Jayhawks approaching their first game Sept. 5 with 26 freshman and a mere 15 seniors.
Of the 25 starting positions, though, underclassmen hold the top spot in only three.
"We have more younger players than we'd like to have, but so be it," coach Terry Allen said.
Seven true freshman made the list in either the second or third spots for their positions.
That doesn't necessarily mean that they will play or that they will even escape a red-shirt year.
"There's seven true freshman that we could potentially not redshirt," Allen said. "They look good, but they've kind of gone downhill in the last couple of days. It's just a different game than it was in high school football."
After a team vote, senior offensive guard Justin Glasgow and senior outside linebacker Patrick Brown were named team co-captains. They join junior quarterback Zac Wegner and senior defensive end Michael Allen, who were chosen last year.
