Do we host Frank and Devonte's jersey retirement ceremonies at the same time, or on the same weekend? I'd kind of like to get it done all at once.

Frank cast a pretty big shadow. Devonte is well clear of it.

Same weekend, as was just done with Sherron and Cole.

Of course, despite all he has done to date Devonté has yet to meet one of the hardcore criteria for making the rafters.

But since the criteria have been eased, and as there is no question this team does not win its historic #14 without him, I think we can be pretty sure his jersey is going to make it.

I do not think you could even list all of the great plays Devonte made that game. From the 3 with time running out on the shot clock to the cross court bounce pass for the open 3. He was nothing less than spectacular.

I know I have heard a lot of talk about next years team being really strong with both the transfers and the recruits. I do know the folks will have some awfully big shoes to fill and we will really miss Devonte even more for his leadership than just his stellar play.

DG was awesome. And does he also win the award for the happiest Jayhawk ever? always smiling. always upbeat. I'm not sure I heard this right but I think when the interviewer asked him what inspired his second half performance, he said, "I just wanted to win."

Yep, you heard that right, MtnMan. She thought she was going to get an Xs and Os answer, and instead he said exactly what you said...after just having finished walking the walk on his talk. :-)

He was utterly insane today. It was a superb win (other than a temporary tie, KU led coast to coast) with many contributions, but Devonte simply put the team on his back in key stretches and was a man among boys.

And to think, KU and its fan base has had the distinct pleasure, benefit, and enjoyment of TWO world-class leaders back to back at the point, both of whom possess the hearts of lions and take more pride in wearing that shirt than any of us can even IMAGINE.

Words fail at how proud I am of Sir Graham, Coach Self, all the players, all the staff, everyone. Words fail.
