LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) – A couple of bruising brothers named Marcus

players at Jayhawk opponents.

How many teams are holding in reserve the national junior
college player of the year? And the No. 1 overall recruit of 2010?
And a talented 6-9 sophomore who brings double-double potential all
by himself?
