Go, Tar!

He's the real deal, and the rest of the world is about to learn that!

@drgnslayr need to add his pic to the locker room!

I've mentioned this a few times, but damn, wouldn't it have been nice to have Black for four seasons?

@HighEliteMajor

Interesting but ESPN refers to Black as the Memphis product...

@JayHawkFanToo

I'm not sure how these one year transfers should be treated. I'm happy to have had Tarik on the team, and I will always consider him a Jayhawk, but how do you evaluate that.

Now that a guy can graduate and transfer, I don't really know how they should be handled.

Also, Black is originally from Memphis (the city), so that could be another reason that he is referred to as a Memphis product.

Thank god he did not play football!

@justanotherfan

I could be wrong but IMHO, his stay at KU and resulting exposure was instrumental to his making it to the NBA. I am not saying that he would not have made it had he attended a different school in his senior year, but there is no doubt that at KU got considerably more attention that he would have otherwise.
