Jayhawks hoping to live up to hype (AP)

Kansas, as you may have heard, is loaded, the best team in the country. Deep, talented, full of current and future stars, the Jayhawks have the kind of team that would make it tough for the best player at some schools to crack the bench. Just don't hand over the national championship trophy. Not yet.

Big 12: More to it than just Jayhawks (AP)

Kansas has those two stars, that loaded recruiting class, five straight conference titles, won a national championship two years ago, will likely be the preseason No. 1. Kansas, Kansas, Kansas. What about the rest of the Big 12? Well, they're not exactly chumps. The Big 12 will be as good as ever, maybe better.

Prosecutors have agreed to dismiss drunken-driving charges against Kansas guard Brady Morningstar if he stays out of trouble for the next year. The 23-year-old Morningstar was arrested Oct. 3 on the Kansas Turnpike near Lawrence on suspicion of driving under the influence. Court records indicate that the junior had nearly twice the legal limit of alcohol in his system at the time.

There was a game of Simon Says, with a professional leading the way, no less. Cheesy skits, a dance troupe and a drum solo by a Bison mascot were part of the show, too. There was even some old-school short shorts. Finally, after nearly 3 hours, Kansas took the court Friday night. Following an offseason filled with disagreements, fights, even a DUI, the Jayhawks didn't mind a little fun before...

Kansas Team Report (Yahoo! Sports)

The last thing Kansas was needed was an off-season distraction. Being ranked No. 1 in practically every preseason poll is enough pressure, but the kind expected for the Jayhawks.

However, a series of campus altercations with the Kansas football team—ranked in the top 20 on its own merits—drew considerable attention and brought embarrassment to the respective teams and the school.

Tyshawn Taylor, a starting guard last season as a freshman, dislocated his left thumb in one scuffle.

No arrests of any athletes were made in connection with the incidents, which culminated on a September morning on campus with several basketball players hiding their faces from a camera as they boarded a van athletic department officials brought to pick them up.

From a 6-foot-11 center who is coveted by the NBA to a senior point guard who averages almost 20 points a game to the most heralded freshman coach Bill Self ever signed, Kansas is loaded. The Jayhawks are laden with talent. Back from last year's team that won the Big 12 title and advanced to the NCAA round of 16 is virtually everybody, including center Cole Aldrich and guard Sherron Collins,...
