i mean seriously, did Sherron get this much love? I dont recall.
No, he didn’t, for one simple reason. He and Cole were the holdovers from a championship team. Although Sherron was a star for two years, his teams did not live up to the 08 team’s accomplishment. During that period, people tended to hold him responsible for the failures and focused on every mistake, turnover, and pound gained. KU had nowhere to go but down after 08.
Frankly, although everone knew we had to replace all the starters after 08, Sherron was the victim of overexpectations since fans had gotten used to miracles. Winning the conference was not enough for lots of people. I hope everyone someday can appreciate what a freakin’ good job he did in taking the team on his back those two years.
