Just after 9:30 Saturday morning the Kansas basketball twitter account reported some exciting news. Freshman Silvio De Sousa would be in uniform and available to play. News that the NCAA cleared the 6-foot-9 freshman rocked the social media world. I heard of several fans I know driving to Allen Fieldhouse to watch the Sunflower Showdown who almost lost control of their vehicles upon getting the news..
Since he arrived in Lawrence on December 26, fans have screamed for him to get to play. The NCAA takes their time on these amateur status issues. It took approximately 18 days to get the good news.
