With Marcus and Markieff roaming the middle, the Jayhawks will be more versatile and much faster on defense this season. At 235 pounds, Marcus is more athletic than Aldrich. He's able to run the floor as well as any big man in the country, as seen by his 1st team All-American pick by the Blue Ribbon College Basketball yearbook.
"I want this to be a family thing where everybody is the face of the program, not just one or two players." Marcus says.
Much like the identical clothes and tattoos the twins share, Marcus isn't always comfortable standing in the spotlight by himself. When asked about being the face of the program, he says he's up for the challenge but he doesn't want to be.
not just one or two players". Marcus says. He might not have a choice, however. The John R. Wooden Award committee named Marcus as an early favorite to be one of the nation's best players. On Oct. 5, the committee, who names the country's best player after the season, announced it's top 50 players to watch this year and Marcus was the only Jayhawk on the list.

AWARENESS
Events to address domestic violence
BY SAMANTHA COLLINS
scolllens@kansan.com
To encourage people to stand up against domestic violence and support its victims, this week is domestic violence awareness week.
In the summer of 2008, Jana Mackey, a graduate student from Hays, was killed by her ex-boyfriend in an act of domestic violence. Meredith Pavicic, president of the Commission on the Status of Women and a junior from Leawood, said the week's events were planned around the Jana Mackey Distinguished Lecture Series, which was established after Mackey's death. This week will focus on teaching students the various ways in which they can be affected by domestic violence.
She said a major problem is that people are uncomfortable talking about domestic violence. She said people have preconceived ideas about domestic violence victims.
"This can happen to anyone," Pavicid said. "It affects so many people."
She said Mackey was the perfect example showing that it can happen to anyone. Mackey was a feminist, a law student and fought against violence against women. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, one out of four women will experience domestic violence in her lifetime.
"The lecture series was created to demonstrate to people that this can happen to anybody," Pavicic said.
The week's events focus on the various aspects of domestic violence ranging from awareness to prevention and violence within the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender community to definitions of masculinity. All events are free to the public.
"Everyone should know this information," she said.
