The Indiana Pacers have told the Kansas coaches that Brandon Rush learns things faster than just about anyone.

Thought i'd put this here, it was just interesting to me... maybe it is to you. It was taken from a question about Brandon Rush's ability as a player at a recent banquet that Kansas University coach's were at. Feel free to delete if its not fanshot worthy.

"Former NFL Strength and Conditioning Coach that runs these workouts, has stated that Brandon Rush outworks his two older brothers ten fold."

"Brandon has impressed everyone in attendance including several college and NFL players."

Just some tidbits taken from a Kansas Jayhawk message board, a guy met up with Brandon at a local Gym, where he is working out this summer, supposedly, Brandon is hitting it extremely hard. He decided not to workout in California, but to work out with a local NFL strength and Conditioning Coach.

Also, i don't know where to put the link into the Quote Source area, so i just won't. its just quotes from a guy i know anyways, might as well have been him telling this to me in person.

Kansas' Aldrich Drawing compairsons to McHale

"It's really flattering," Aldrich said. "Kevin McHale, he's a legend back home. It's really great to be compared to him in small little aspects."

and....

And, as Self likes to point out, there is one more similarity between his sophomore and the former NBA All-Star and current head coach of the Minnesota Timberwolves.

"They both have funky shots," he said with a grin.

"Bill Self joked that his team must be really tough to scout because there are times that they don't run anything the way it was designed. That is the lament of a young team."
