I cannot imagine a single downside.

Serious injury that keeps him from being able to play this next season for SMU?

The chicken littles are coming out on this one.

Some would turn him into a bubble-boy. You can get whacked crossing the street or playing with the dog... Ask Derek Holland. Just do it.

SMU’s Moore arrives, takes charge

SMU senior point guard Nic Moore, the reigning Player of the Year in the American Athletic Conference, arrived on Kansas University’s campus Friday and immediately was escorted to the Jayhawks’ basketball practice facility.

“I learned he’s a leader. He got there halfway through practice, walked in and acted like he owned the place. That’s exactly what best players in leagues do,” KU coach Bill Self told the Journal-World after a two-hour World University Games team practice.

More national coverage...

When it was announced that SMU point guard Nic Moore would be joining the Kansas basketball team this summer as it represents the United States in the World University Games, some people were caught by surprise and wondered how it would work. The Jayhawks, who won’t bring Cheick Diallo (Mali), Sviatoslav Mykhailiuk (Ukraine) and Dwight Coleby (Bahamas) on the trip, have a point guard in Frank Mason and the dynamic of working in a new player can be a tricky one.

However it helps matters that in Moore, Kansas will have one of the top point guards in the country at their disposal in South Korea. Moore won Player of the Year honors in the American Athletic Conference as he led SMU to the regular season and postseason titles, so he has some solid credentials on his resume.

Love it! Nic is the man.

Why can't he make it to practice on time?

Who cares? Great quote, Freiberger. Acted like he owns the place. Sounds like Nic Moore to me.

The ponies are up

I've talked to double digit industry types and coaches about this, cause it pisses me off. To a man, they think it's ridiculous as well. Can't wait for this fiasco to end. Get home safe

Lol so now because it benefits Self the AAC is "a great league"

[PonySnob]

Please stay healthy Nic!

I was wondering the same thing.

[Mustangsabu]

I think they are referring g to the day he got there. Not some random morning when he just walked in late.

[couch 'em]

Isn't this good publicity for us?

About the same as it would've been good pub for Memphis had they loaned D Rose to SMU when we did our tour de Africa
