Yesterday, it was reported that former Kansas stars Mario Chalmers and Darrell Arthur were booted from the NBA rookie transition program for getting caught with women and some herb in their hotel room. (They’ll be missing so many great classes!) Though Kansas coach Bill Self is steadfastly standing by his former players - great photo on that link - we’re hearing another first-rounder, a lottery pick, actually, was allegedly in the room, but escaped the wrath of the NBA by hiding in a closet. File this under scurrilous rumor. For now.

As for the continued post-title malfaesance of Jayhawks: “Success breeds arrogance, and arrogance breeds foolishness.” True? False?
