Lagerald Vick went to work on his rebounding after grabbing just two boards in 36 minutes against Missouri in an Oct. 22 exhibition at the Sprint Center.
“I do little drills by myself, throw the ball up off the backboard and jump as high as I can, run outside the three-point line and chase the ball down,” said Vick, Kansas’ ultra-athletic 6-foot-5 junior wing from Memphis, Tenn.
Extra time in the gym appeared to pay off on Tuesday night in an exhibition against Division II Pittsburg State. Vick had 11 rebounds in 26 minutes in the Jayhawks’ 100-54 victory over the Gorillas.
