Marcus Morris on Naismith watch list
Junior forward Marcus Morris was named to the Naismith Trophy preseason watch list.
Add it to his rapidly growing list of accolades, which already includes a preseason watch list nod
Mc. Morris
for the Wooden Award. Both the Wooden and the Naismith are given to the best college basketball player in the country. Colorado's Alec Burks.
Missouri's Kim English, Baylor's Perry Jones III and Kansas State's Jacob Pullen are the only other Big 12 players on the list. Notably left out from the conference is Kansas' Josh Selby, who has yet to be cleared to play by the NCAA, and Baylor's LaceDarius Dunn,
Rise to success: Vick, Chilean miner
MORNING BREW
BY MAX ROTHMAN
mrothman@kansan.com
In most cases, going from rags to riches takes a good bit of time. Horatio Alger used to write about protagonists who underwent struggles against poverty and eventually found (at least some) wealth and social respectability. In more modern times, Jay-Z did everything to slang you know-what to working in a Brooklyn McDonald's before he took charge of Roc-A-Fella Records (and the world). Usually it takes a little time to gain supremacy. However, two different cases, one of absurd athleticism, the other of unrivaled determination, discount this theory. It seems that there are indeed shortcuts to reach the mountaintop.
- From Leavenworth to Philly Heaven
After serving 19 months in Leavenworth's United States Penitentiary for staging dog fights, Vick had more than just PETA calling him names. He was once the No. 1 overall draft pick and the face of the Atlanta Falcons. He epitomized all that was exciting about football. Then, in what felt like a second later, he was America's truest villain.
In May of 2009, Michael Vick was synony mous with Lucifer. Forget the boogie man. Parents could tell stories of Vick to send their kids right to sleep.
Oh, how things change for the truly gifted Vick got out of prison, signed with the Philadelphia Eagles (who got a ton of flak for that one), and served as the third-string quarterback behind Donovan McNabb and Kevin Kolb. One McNabb trade and one Kolb injure later, Vick was starting again.
After several impressive performances at the helm, Vick rewrote his history on the
regular season's biggest stage — Monday Night Football.
Just this Monday, his Eagles torched McNabb and the Redskins 59-28. Vick finished with 333 passing yards, 80 rushing yards and six touchdowns (four passing, two running). The dominating victory put an exclamation point on Vick's MVP campaign.
Once again, the NFL loves Vick. Philadelphia loves Vick. And, as inconceivable as it may have seemed not long ago, America loves Vick, too.
- From Mine to Marathon
While stuck in the mine more than 2,000 feet underground with 32 others, Pena ran between three and six miles per day in wormout work boots. Upon his release, marathon officials immediately invited Pena as an honorary guest. But Pena wanted to run, honorary or not.
Edison Pena was rescued Oct. 13 after being trapped for 69 days in a Chilean mine. Three-and-a-half weeks later, he finished the New York City Marathon.
He finished the race in five hours, 40 minutes and 51 seconds, and blamed his bad knees for his time. Like that really mattered.
Pena is now a part of marathon folklore.
He's also no longer stuck in a Chilean mine,
rather, he's stuck as a Chilean hero.
Pena is a huge Elvis Presley fan, singing the king's tunes for reporters far and wide. But Presley just doesn't fit the bill here. Internationally adored, it's hard to say that any of his work is truly vaulted. So where does that take us? The East Oakland, Calif. hip-hop scene, of course!
Music from the Vaults
Outside of the addictive title track, Souls of Mischief's "93 'til Infinity" never hit the mainstream. To this day, I still don't know why. This 1993 masterpiece of an album is consistently brilliant and forever changed the way the West rhymed. Four teenagers never spit so well. Rhyming in the middle of sentences, tearing apart one theme, riding over cool jazz and heavy bass and doing it all in voices that have barely reached an adult octave — there isn't anything out there that sounds quite like this.

who has been suspended for the first three games of the season after an arrest on charges of domestic battery. The charges have been dropped.
Morris has backed up his inclusion on the list with stellar play through the Jayhawks first two games. He's led the team in scoring in both games and is averaging 20 points per game on 77.3 percent shooting.
VOLLEYBALL
Academic All-Big 12 has seven Javhawks
-Tim Dwyer
The Big 12 named seven Jayhawks to the Academic All-Big 12 Volleyball Team, the league office announced Tuesday.
Five players — seniors Karina Garlington and Melissa Manda, junior Allison Mayfield, sophomore Tayler Tolefree and redshirt freshman Caroline Jarmoc — were named to the first team. Junior Nicole Tate and sophomore
Garlington and Manda have earned spots on the first team for three consecutive years. Mayfield and Tate have received the award once before in their careers. Boub, Jarmoc and Tolefree are in their first season of eligibility for the academic team.
Morgan Boub took second team honors. Kansas and Oklahoma together lead the league for the most student athletes named to the 51-person list.
Each university's director of student athlete support services
nominates individuals to the academic all-league squad, which consists of 38 members on the first team and 13 on the second. First team members have maintained at least a 3.20 GPA and those on the second team have a GPA between 3.00 and 3.19.
Student-athletes must maintain at least a 3.00 cumulative GPA for two semesters and participate in at least 60 percent of the team's scheduled contests. Freshmen and transfers are not eligible until their second year of
