Andy Gaughan, Freshman Houston
"MY DAD AND MY BROTHER WENT HERE," GAUGHAN SAID. "IT'S A KENNY GREGORY JERSEY, MY BROTHER HAD IT WHEN HE WENT HERE AND HE PASSED IT DOWN TO ME ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. I JUST STARTED WEARING IT TO GAMES THIS YEAR."
Khadeem Caesar, Junior Brooklyn, N.Y.
"I FELL IN LOVE WITH KANSAS IN 2008 AND CAME OUT HERE BECAUSE OF THE TEAM," CAESAR SAID. "TYSAWN TAYLOR WAS MY FAVORITE PLAYER, AND I PUT MY LAST NAME ON HIS JERSEY."
Josh Deboer, Senior Overland Park
"I GREW UP A KU FAN," DEBOER SAID. "IT'S FROM FIVE YEARS AGO, WHEN THEY MADE THE 20 ANNIVERSARY JERSEYS. I WORE IT TO THE KANSAS STATE GAME THAT YEAR. THE LAST TIME I WORE IT WAS OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK, WHEN KANSAS PLAYED OHIO STATE."
Kate Kurtenbach, Sophomore, Littleton, Colo.
"I CAME HERE FOR THE SCHOOL SPIRIT AND KU BASKETBALL," KURTENBACH SAID. "I GOT IT LAST YEAR. I THINK THOMAS ROBINSON WAS SO FUN TO WATCH AND SO POWERFUL ON THE COURT. IT'S FUN TO REP HIS NUMBER. I WAS WEARING IT DURING THE MIZZOU GAME LAST YEAR. MY HIGHLIGHT AT BEING AT KU SO FAR IS WHEN HE HAD THAT BLOCK."
Erin Goodman, Junior St. Louis
"ALL OF MY FRIENDS WENT TO MIZZOU, AND I JUST WANTED TO GET OUT," GOODMAN SAID. "I GOT IT RIGHT BEFORE THE NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP LAST YEAR. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I'VE WORN IT SINCE THAT GAME, AND I'M HOPING TO REGAIN SOME LUCK WITH IT."
