I was watching the news and noticed everyone seemed to favor a different Jayhawk.  So, I would like to know what everyone here thinks.  I would like to see reasons why, as well.

My personal favorite is Mario Chalmers, closely followed by Darnell Jackson.  I have enjoyed Mario's game since his freshman year and think he is a terrific all-around college basketball player.  I would like to see him take more shots / be "the guy," but I don't think that will happen with Rush as his teammate.

I like the ALL.  They are Jayhawks and that makes each one of them special in my book!

After this season, Darnell Jackson has cracked my top 5 of ALL-TIME favorite Jayhawks. I love the way he plays balls to the wall 110% all day. And I love how he's so physically imposing and how he's so thug, but in a good way.

I would have to go with Sasha Kaun. Despite slightly sluggish numbers for a senior, he did manage to grow a fairly fantastic FRO.  Besides, how often do you run into a dude on the street named Sasha?

Teahan reminds me of one of my all-time favorite 'Hawks, Billy Thomas.  I never understood why he didn't get more p.t.  He must have been the worst defender to walk onto the Fieldhouse's floor.  Same goes for Teahan (so far, at least).  The way the team is looking, I understand why he sits. However, I would not mind having a shooting threat like that on the floor at least on occasion, even if he was terrible on defense.

Not only that, but a dude named Sasha who could destroy you!  While he may not be the best basketball player we have, he's no slouch physically.  He looks like he could bench press Aldridge!

slyest- that has got to be one of the funniest avatars ever

does Shasha Kaun remind anyone of Eric Chennowith, not the best player, but he's big, tall and can bang around inside

I gotta say that being a Jayhawk fan from NY makes me a little biased toward that kid from NYC who is probably the most important part of our team this year...Russell Robinson! I love em all tho...I'm a big Mario Chalmers fan as well.

Its gotta be Chalmers. He is the guy that starts everything. But this team is so deep and everyone contributes how can you not like everyone! I love the Florida comparisons from last year and 2 years ago. I just hope this Kansas team has the same results!

Darnell is my favorite based on the overall effect his improvement has had on the success of this year's team. We're obviously loaded at the guard position. The biggest question in my mind coming into the season was how would we fill the void of the departed Julian Wright. The answer is Darnell Jackson. He's like a new man this year, becoming the force that I always felt he could. He's got the body to bang with anyone, and now has developed a mid-range jump shot and an array of above average post moves. He's a rebounding machine, and has greatly improved his interior passing skills. His presence helps dispel the notion that KU is soft inside, a real problem for them for many years, in my opinion.

Honorable mention to Sherron Collins. Nobody on the team has the ability to break down a defense on his own the way Sherron does. It's obvious he's not all the way back from injury, but if the Jayhawks have designs on the national championship, they'll need him to be at 100 percent. All of our guards can handle the ball, but Sherron is the best at distributing the ball and possesses superior court vision. We haven't seen the best of him yet.

18-0 and counting!

Chalmers gets my vote as I love watching him create oppertunities by stealing and passing the ball. (I also love Robinson for the same reason). Chalmers can do it all though, pull up and hit the 3, dribble to the hoop and either score or find an open teammate on the wing, pass the ball well and play great defense. I vote Chalmers as our MVP! (Not to take away anything from the deep team we have where I could give you reasons why 8 or 9 players could be any person's favorite!)  RCJH

I think Darnell Jackson gets my vote. A close second is the vote for "ALL". Darnell has worked his butt off to prepare for a senior season where he knew he had a chance to be a bigger part of a very special team. He has overcome a lot of tough situations, yet has remained excited, happy, and energetic on a team that really thrives on that. I have never seen him give anything less than 100%. He is what I want every member of our team to work towards throughout their career at KU.

I have always loved the players that seemed to do everything possible for the betterment of the team. The attitude of Jerod Haase comes to mind when I watch Jackson play. It is very inspiring to watch.

ROCK! CHALK! JAYHAWK!

So tough to pick one player, but I would have to pick Chalmers b/c i love the way he plays defense. It is great to watch this team play together. Most unselfish team i've ever seen.

I would have to agree, I sure like Mario's game, he seems to be the best all around player they have....

I had seen him play at a tourney his Junior year in Anchorage, AK.  The team I was assistant coaching for was in the same tourney.  Although we didn't play Bartlett (Mario's team) it was my first time seeing him play. 
It sure has been fun to track him at Kansas and see his game evolve.
Sure will be interesting to see how Kansas does the remainder of the season and into the tournaments.
Will they go undefeated? Will they get to the final four? Time will tell, they sure are rolling right now.
