Sherron Collins and No. 1 Kansas: For the second straight offseason, Collins is carrying around extra poundage. Coach Bill Self publicly slammed the guard for showing up at a preseason workout weighing 220 pounds. This time around he’s 229. Collins will want to drop at least 20-30 pounds if he wants to fight for the UFC’s light heavyweight title, er, escape Self’s wrath in August. “After three years of watching Collins battle his weight at Kansas, Self said he doesn’t see the issue going away for Collins as his career continues. ‘He’s going to be a guy that’s always going to have to watch his conditioning, there’s no doubt about that,’ Self said. “After working his way down to 205 last season, Collins led the Jayhawks with 18.3 ppg and led them to the Sweet Sixteen.” [KC Star] – Intern Stephen Montemayor
